Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Abraham first believed God when God told him his descendants would be numerous and that God would make him a great nation.
In Hebrews chapter 11 Paul explains how Abram/Abraham never abandoned his faith that God would multiply his descendants, and knew that God could raise Isaac from the dead:
17By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son;
18it was he to whom it was said, “IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED.”
19He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type.
Good morning, WP. I don’t think there is a more powerful account of God’s love for us than this. It makes my heart hurt in a way I can’t describe. Can we ever be worthy of this greatest sacrifice? It certainly is a continuing journey we are all on.
God Bless America , 🙂
Andrae´ Crouch, one of my favorites.
🙂
I have a book of Andre Crouch music. “If Heaven Never was Promised to Me” is one of my favorites although I never heard it sung until I looked for a video to share this morning. Just the audio with the album cover like a lot of YouTube “videos.”
You may ask me why I serve the Lord,
Is it just for heaven’s gain.
Or to walk those mighty streets of gold,
And to hear the angels sing.
Is it just to drink from the fountain,
That never shall run dry.
Or just to live forever, ever, and ever,
In that sweet, sweet bye and bye.
Chorus:
But if heaven never was promised to me,
Neither God’s promise to live eternally.
It’s been worth just having the Lord in my life.
Living in a world of darkness,
You came along and brought me the light.
If there were never any streets of gold,
Neither a land where we’ll never grow old,
It’s been worth just having the Lord in my life.
You’ve been my closest friend down through the years,
And every time I cry You dry my tears.
It’s been worth just having the Lord in my life.
Living in a world of darkness,
living in a world of darkness,
You came along and brought me the light.
🙂
Yes, it’s been a blessing having the Lord with me as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death….
Personally, psalm 23 compliments your posting. ❤️

“She’s a quick silver girl . . . she spreads her wings . . . and she’s free. If you need little lovin’ she’ll turn on the heaty . . . If you take a fall, she’ll put you back on your feet . . .” Were we really this young? She came into my life almost, but not quite, as an accident. I was dating her roommate until I moved back to Houston. Leaving Houston I resolved to look her up. Happily that wasn’t very hard. We began dating and on a completely magical day we fell in love—or at leat I did. I didn’t have much money, so I bought a couple of kites and we drove my TR4 down to the sea wall for an afternoon of kite flying. There were ships in the channel so we’d lower our kites over their decks and tease the sailors into chasing our kite tails. They had fun and we had fun. I turned to look at her and she was smiling at me. My heart melted. She was the one . . . Happily, she felt the same way too. 55 years next November.
Wow, great story, happy anniversary in 9 months.
Kites !
Does that mean if someone asked you what your favorite ‘pick up line’ was when you were a young bloke your anwser would be “kites” !
Cool as 😜 !
Naa, I was too dumb to even think about “pickup”lines. Besides, she was so way ahead of me that “trying a line” wouldn’t have gotten me very far. A couple of nights later we had our Big Date—a movie that she liked followed by a dinner at a good restaurant. Dressed up. She was lookin’ great in heels and a straight skirt. Put the key in the ignition and . . . click . . . bad solenoid. I said, OK you slide over into the dirver’s seat, push the clutch in, I’ll push you across the parking lot, pop the clutch and the engine will start right up. She said, I don’t think I can do that . . . ???
Soooo . . . Ok, the parking lot is flat and smothe so if you can push me a few feet and I’ll pop the clutch, get us started, and get us home. Fortunately she was game . . . Heels, straight skirt, dressed to the nines, 110 lbs, pushing my old TR4 across the parking lot. Poped the clutch, got it started, and we drove home. Honestly, I thought this ended a budding relationship. But, instead, she laughed and teased me all the way home. Good girl! She also knows how to flat-tow . . . 🙂 Does anybody here know how to flat-tow?
Oh my gosh! You are outdoing yourself tonight! Keep the stories coming! Pure delight!!!
Flat- tow, I’d definitely know but my terminology would be different !
Pickup lines, I’m on the same side there.
What was dinner steak ?
Dress colour ?
Was it a car or pickup ?
Height and heel lengths ?
So many questions ?
Umm, umm, just between us boys, did she fix the solenoid while you cooked breakfast ? 😜😜😜.
Please continue.
Howdy, son!
👍
🙂
Having also owned a TR-4 in my younger days, I totally understand the need for popping the clutch to get going. Lucas.. the Prince of Darkness.
The reason why the British drink warm beer is because their refrigerators are made by Lucas. And those Stromberg carburetors weren’t much better. I owned a Triumph Spitfire and the rear wheel bearings were my bugaboo.
One good thing about flooding a Spitfire’s carburetor was that you could put the Spitfire on your shoulder and burb it.
Yep. Only later did I discover that The Prince of Darkness thoughtfully provided a manual override switch built into the top of their solenoids. It was almost as thought they knew the solenoid would fail so they included a get-you-started-anyway work around. Very British.
Had a weak battery on a chevy with a generator, so park on a little hill, coast a bit and off we go.
If you mean using a chain or tow strap that’s our kind of flat tow. My buddy used to go way to fast while we were towing something in, so stand on the brakes and steer!
Wheeee!!!! 😂
First Rule of flat towing—the car being towed uses its brakes to maintain tension on the tow-strap. My neighbor, a quite comely TV reporter, told me about a first flat-tow experience that failed. Her cameraman, better with cameras than he was with fixin’ stuff, was going to tow her home late one night. She described him tying about a 30ft rope to her front suspension—big mistake. Neither she nor her cameraman knew the First Rule nor did they understand why you don’t use a rope that’s too long. As they were going downhill she described driving alongside the tow-van which of course caused the much too-long tow rope to wrap itself around the front suspension. It was a good thing it was 3AM because they blocked the middle of the street until the wrecker driver they called could cut the tow rope off the front suspension.
LOL
Such beautiful memories, Garrison. What a gift to find the one who makes your world spin and keep the fires alight for 55 years, through the thick and the thin which make up our lives. Bless you both💓
🙂
What beautiful, wonderful memories. God bless you both.
“Lucas … Prince of Darkness” strikes again!
Garrison, that story is so wonderful and so beautifully told! I had to re-read it cause it was just so good, so full of magic, so full of another time…. These little bits and pieces that you share about yourself and the life with the love of your life are such gems and it feels like a special moment to have a window into your world….
Well, you know, these vignettes are small celebrations of a long life together. Sadly, I have to watch her slowly fade so remembering meaningful events like this are poignant and heartfelt. Retelling the stories makes the more real. Thanks for reading. 🙂
How I wish your wife was not in this slow fade. What you’ve shared about your experience caring for her and witnessing this has been touching and heart-breaking beyond words. Hearing stories from when you were both young is absolutely magical. Life on this earth can be filled with so much joy, love, and sorrow, all against the backdrop of abiding faith…..
Thanks, Sarah. I really appreciate your kind words. 🙂
Thank you. Makes my heart smile and sing.
🙂
Heavenly Father I pray strength for Garrison Hall and the Peace that comes from your Holy Spirit,
In Jesus name, Amen.
Amen 🙏
Amen!
Amen!
🙂
A most memorable first date 🥰 sounds like a match made in heaven. ❤️
My minds eye sees your kites dancing over the water to this tune
That was exactly it, Cat. It was just happenstance in the way it occurred. Happily the sailors on deck “got it” and really got into chasing our kite tails. It was a magical moment.
Did your sweetheart ever learn how to pop the clutch on a car?
Oh, yes. Despite being a language scholar, she’s an oil-patch girl and decidedly from a working class background. She can pop-a-clutch. She can also flat-tow a dead car as well as she can be flat-towed driving a dead car. Really.
Oil patch?
She grew up on land owned by a oil production company. Her house was a company house that her drilling-manager father rented from the company. Hence, “oil patch”. There was drilling and rough-necks all around her when she was a kid. She loved it! 🙂
😊
She came from good people, the best. I know.
Happenstance, Garrison? Methinks it very well may have been something else.🙏😉
True, Betsy. 🙂
Garrison, a little early for this but here it is (hat tip to Leenie)
A toast to you and your bride ❤️
Good morning, FC1 ❤️
Good Morning grandpa! Having fun teaching the grand all the new Aussie verbiage? And Please tell mrs grandpa hello for me. 😊
I sure will. We are back from church and sh’s back at her sister’s. I’m making some venison and taters. Haven’t seen the boy since last Thursday morning.Hopefully will get a hold of him during the week. The school finally started allowing lunch with the kids so most likely we’ll take advantage of that.
He is so funny, though. He was telling me that his recess is before lunch and is 30 min. He wanted me to be there for recess and said, “If you come 31 minutes before lunch you’ll have to wait only a minute to see me.” 😂
😂 He’s a smart one. Must be in his dna. 😉 I haven’t heard of open lunch in a really long time. So nice to see not everything good has faded away ❤️
😀
My other two elementary school age grands that live in New Braunfels have had open lunch forever. But that is the town that ran Kamala out.
🙂
Niiiiiice. Great story G!
🙂
Garrison, thank you for another beautiful story shared from your heart.
🙂
April 25 will be our 58th. my first car was a 1946? or 8? chrysler windsor with fluid drive so I learned quickly about popping the clutch. always parked on a grade with nothing in front of me. jump jump jump then the engine catches and off I go.
Happy Caterday, Treepers!
😂

That is crazy!!!

this was played at friends remembrance ceremony. Gary’s boat, “Odyssey” was crabbing and flipped. Gary overboard crew in engine room several days water rising. guys on another boat cut the hull and got them out. we always figure the crabs will get three fishermen on average every crab season. we fishermens wives always wake up and pray its not our guy when the coast guard helicopter goes up.
best crab year ever this year with best prices. teenage crew trading tacomas for tundras.
song makes me cry
when Gary’s wife, Dawn, got to the Coast guard station she found a younger, prettier woman there in tears over loss of Gary. so Dawn knew Gary was not “still mine” and hadn’t been for some time. but Dawn got the money and the crabs got gary
Joe Bastardi at Weatherbell:
The next 45 days are looking ugly, especially for the area around the Great Lakes and in the NE. Snow fall into April from Detroit over to the Big cities on the coast in the NE US. There will be bursts of Spring weather, but over all it will be colder and stormier than normal.
You folks in Texas will see alternating cold and warm until the later part of March and then your going to warm up above average for the time of year.
You people in the NW aren’t getting way scotch free either. Snow forecast for the next 15 days shows plenty for all of us all across the northern US.
As always, scroll down to the free Saturday Summary video.

Thanks rah.
Thanks for your warning for last week. I put off my trip to Memphis until this week. I will have good weather to help Samaritan’s Purse that is continuing cleanup of the ice storm. I have the chainsaw tuned up and ready to go. I will try to give a report when I get home.
I’m just the messenger. Joe Bastardi and the team at WeatherBELL Analytics are the ones that make the forecasts. They aren’t always right, but they’re one heck of a lot better than the standard pap that relies only on what models say and don’t actually do any meteorology themselves. A note: When your getting nothing but probabilities, your not getting a forecast. A forecaster does their own analysis and says what is going to happen or not happen and where and lives and dies by that.
You may already use it, but in real time I use Ventusky. It has wind patterns overlaid with radar and precipitation. We had a light flicker a few weeks ago and loaded it up. I called my son in to look and showed him the wind patterns looked like tornado patterns. 5 minutes later we got the warning.
Good morning, rah. Thank you for that long-range forecast. Just when I thought this would be our final piece of winter. Never mind. We are closer to spring than we were a month ago.
weather here on Oregon coast rain, wind smashing the daffodills. 50 degrees on front porch. deer in east yard and orchard
developed into gale. now the tree are doing the daffodill wave
🙌Great updates and stories🙌
A few words about Ukraine . . . I’m not going to get into elaborations about causality. I’m simply going to focus on what is. During the American civil war when “The balloon was up” you were going to be attacked. In Ukraine the balloon is definitely up. That being said, I think the entire world was surprised at the stiff resistance that the Ukrainian army and armed civilians are putting up.
What’s the difference that we’re seeing? An answer lies in the quality of the opposing militaries. The Russians launched their war of conquest with what appears to be a largely conscript army. Conscripts have sharp limitations when they face more experienced soldiers. What surprised the world is that the Ukrainian military, abetted by thousands of combat experienced former soldiers, is surprisingly well experienced. So, what you have is a smaller yet combat experienced Ukrainian military fighting a Russian conscript army made up of inexperienced 19 year olds. Put another way, you have a conscript army attacking a military made up of trained killers. This will not end well.
I find our focus on instant results fascinating. It took the Nazis five weeks to conquer Poland and six weeks to conquer France. I am not sure how long it took to get all of Ukraine under their tyranny, but Hitler started on June 21, reached Kiev on August 7, it was surrendered on September 26. That is three months. And that was called lightening war.
Hitler did have to go the long way. Putin had a much shorter trip.
The Gulf War really did distort our thinking about war. Still, it took W three weeks to take Baghdad. And never forget, Baghdad Bob said we were losing the entire journey.
Who knows, maybe even Russia cannot handle a few sons dying in war anymore. Yet it seems way too early to declare Putin’s demise.
Of course, that was half of Poland, Stalin got the other half.
Don’t forget the arming of civilians. We are witnessing a real world example of why our Founders put in the 2nd amendment.
Exactly, rah. And a substantial portion of those armed civilians have fairly recent combat experience. By comparison here in America we currently have a larger demographic of combant experienced former soldiers than at any time since the Civil War or WWII. Like Ukraine. In Ukraine militias are forming made up of combat veterans. These are nominally “civilians” although numbering among them are numbers of trained killers who’ll go through those 19 year old conscripts like a knife through butter. Those guys mean business. They are fighting to defend their homes and families. Just think what our guys with similar skills would do.
And all should see now, why the left has been so desperate for all these years to disarm us.
Our press praises the Ukrainians for issuing assault rifles to their citizens as they continue to push gun control here!
Latest Gun Control News | Real Climate Science
I agree with you Garrison.. in this country we have a large number of combat veterans who are now “civilians” but have not forgotten either their traning nor their experiences. And as “Citisen Soldiers” they will NOT be limited to following some politicians “rules of engagement”, but can and will put their training and experience to full advantage.
I’ve always found it somewhat amusing, in a perverse sort of way, that some (usually liberal) politician with ZERO military experience gets to set “rules of engagement” for the soldiers to follow when deployed.
“Only those who have been killed by enemy fire may return fire.. and only then after receiving permission from both their commanding officer and the commanding officer of the enemy”
Ukrainians will never forget……..the HOLODOMOR………the descendants of those victims of Stalin and his Russian soldiers were told over and over for the next three generations what the Russians and their minions did to the innocent, the elderly, the children, the men and women, of all ages………they starved them to death, literally…twice they did it…………..and neither will the Polish forget what they did to their upright Polish officers and soldiers at Katyn massacre. The Russians blamed that too on the NAZIS.

Your videos this morning are responsible for my ear worm today. Thought I’d repay the favor 😂 😉

Oh my goodness, yes, that song! I was a semi-fan of Melanie back in the day, but forgot about that song until I listened to it just now. So sweet and fun! Probably gonna have to go down a Melanie rabbit hole tonight!
Every afternoon a beautiful young woman bicycles through our neighborhood . . . being pulled along by her German Shepherd. 🙂
How does that work? Is the dog in a harness or something? Must be a super large shepherd. I love some of those really large ones with long fur – they’re almost bear-like.
He just wears a leash and pulls her along. Once she gets rolling it isn’t hard for him at all. He’s a big strong dog. They both have a great time.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

Greetings Treepers!
I received the following from Peter this morning. He thinks this is a fairly good account of what’s happening on the ground in Ukraine.
Urban fighting against a determined foe is tough and costly. Quite often the best way is to stay off the streets and blow passages through the walls to clear one building after another.
Peter just heard from his brother. He and his family are safe. Heavy bombardment. 🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Relieved, Frank, though I’m sure there is no end of worry waiting for the next communication. Prayers are ongoing…BNM🙏💓
Thanks, Frank.
Niiice rebel! The doobies made beautiful tunes.
You started me thinking of this one, with it being Sunday. Thanks ❤️
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

Isaiah 41:11-13
11 Behold, all who are incensed against you
shall be put to shame and confounded;
those who strive against you
shall be as nothing and shall perish.
12 You shall seek those who contend with you,
but you shall not find them;
those who war against you
shall be as nothing at all.
13 For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.”
I have been teaching through the book of Isaiah and I keep discovering great nuggets of comfort. This is from the lesson today.
Good morning, VibeMan. Your teaching of the book of Isaiah sounds very interesting. Wish I could have heard it all.

President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian nuclear deterrent forces put on high alert Sunday amid tensions with the West over his invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking at a meeting with his top officials, Putin asserted that leading NATO powers had made “aggressive statements” along with the West imposing hard-hitting financial sanctions against Russia, including the president himself.
The alert means Putin has ordered Russia’s nuclear weapons prepared for increased readiness to launch. He told the Russian defense minister and the chief of the military’s General Staff to put the nuclear deterrent forces in a “special regime of combat duty.”
“Western countries aren’t only taking unfriendly actions against our country in the economic sphere, but top officials from leading NATO members made aggressive statements regarding our country,” Putin said in televised comments.

Thank you, SoldierI. And all it took to reach this place in such a short time was massive treachery and corruption by both sides via a stolen election.
And WE are all thinking
“But he’s not going to launch them at America”
Kind of like Zelensky said “Relax! There’s no reason to believe Russia will invade Ukraine!”
I hope that someone who can actually REMEMBER the launch codes is always close to Sleepy Joe’s nuclear “football”
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Yesterday steak today Tuna Salad. I don’t know why? It just sounded good to me.
I would dip my fork in your tuna salad – except i’d probably get your fork in my hand
🙁
Soon enough, not so. I depart at 17:00 for a relay in Peoria, IL. I’ve done both sides of this one several times over the years. A team makes stops in Seward and Lincoln, and then comes to Peoria where they trade trailers with a driver the comes from the Anderson terminal.
Somehow when I woke this morning I knew I wouldn’t get a whole Sunday at home.
Back to the Grind for you.
YUGE week for us. Grinding. Great weather!

I just read this informative piece by Lee Smith. Sundance has touched on this; Lee Smith ties the buffer state, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, (another buffer state), US State and Intelligence Dept’s under Obama to Russia-Gate, Clinton’s, Obama and currently Biden as compared to Trump’s relationship with Ukraine and Russia.
This is a short, concise, easy read; really quite amazing.

Thank you for Another piece of my puzzle.
do you want more to read?
I have lots of places I visit on a daily basis
If you like Dianne Marshall (and many people do not), here’s a link: https://diannemarshallreport.com/
Duchess01 posts her wonderful Praying On the Armor of God often in the comments section – and occasionally a link to a post.
Dianne has posted several good ones in the last few days (IMHO)
And I have more if you want ’em 🙂
Looks interesting. Bookmarked as my Monday’s paper with breakfast 😊 thanks’
Read it. Good read. Thanks.

9 bio labs in Ukraine destroyed – confirmed and reconfirmed. Asia Times (Hong Kong) has a Media Bias/Fact Check rating that is Highly Credible – “While opinion pieces tend to have an anti-American bias, their straight news coverage is well-sourced and least biased. Failed Fact Checks. None in the Last 5 years”
It is twitter so look/watch for a secondary source…
Asia Times twitter link : Pepe Escobar on Twitter: “Confirmed and re-confirmed. 9 underground US bioweapon labs in Ukraine were DESTROYED by Iskander missiles. No confirmation on the status of other 4 labs. Russia asked the Americans diplomatically – for years. Now talk to Mr. Iskander.” / Twitter
the only reason I would doubt it -how do you keep the ‘contents’ from going into the air, ground or water? No explanation….
ms idaho, there has never been much worry in that area of the world about the “contents” going into the air. Remember Chernobyl? I do, I ate at the time of the fresh vegetables watered with the radioactive rain, not knowing, of course.
So it’s very likely that the labs were Iskandered, the contents be damned…
GrandpaM – Yes, I remember Chernobyl. One of the products we sold was Spirulina. Studies showed that it pulled the radiation out of bodies. We promoted it for those who go thru body scanners, get lots of xrays (bone density, dental and more)
An early report indicated the Russians had reached and taken Chernobyl. The site is important because it may have been ‘adopted’ or ‘converted’ for making nuclear weapons. After that no more news.
I realize that most folks here see Putin as the enemy, bad guy and aggressor. I prefer another view, opining that Xi, Putin and Trump are working to end the big banks, globalist, cabal efforts to eliminate large numbers of world population and subjugate the rest.
I have not seen this idea, but I suspect other nations (Japan, India, Israel?) are also on board with this plan.
Once you know the players on your ‘team’, further coordination is not necessary. All you need to know is that you have the same goal.
It was reported (true?) that the first words out of Trumps mouth upon hearing about Putin’s ‘invasion’ were complementary. And it is also true that if Trump were in the white house none of this would be happening.
I don’t view Putin as the enemy, neither I view him as some saintly figure concerned with the good of humanity. Putin only cares about Putin, Xi cares about Xi. Having first hand experience with the communists and the KGB, I can assure you that they would oppose the globos, big banks, etc, only to impose their own NWO. After all that’s what they’ve been doing all throughout the 20 century with the end result – over a hundred of millions dead.
And to give you a picture of the KGB type – visualize Brennan. On steroids.
just got this golly – wow
From the Black Sea to the East Med, do not poke The Russian Bear | The Vineyard of the Saker
This is the part that got my attention: FTA
The (nuclear) straw that (nearly) broke the Bear’s back – and forced its paws to pounce – was Zelensky the Comedian, back from the Russophobia-drenched Munich Security Conference where he was hailed like a Messiah, saying that the 1994 Budapest memorandum should be revised and Ukraine should be nuclear-rearmed.
That would be the equivalent of a nuclear Mexico south of the Hegemon.
Ms Idaho, I’ve been asking your last question since this whole thing started! No one replies.
Hi Leenie, not sure if I gave much of an answer, just a personal experience. 🙂
Thanks Grandpa! But we’re not talking about radioactivity (which is bad enough) but who knows what pathogens…
I can only presume that Putin is not ignorant re: the bio weapons hazards and will make VERY sure they are not released – tho I have no clue as to how they can be destroyed safely.
That is my point – those people don’t give a sh!t. Radioactive cloud, pathogens or whatever. Regular folks are just a nuisance. Stalin had a saying, “There is a person, there is a problem. No person, no problem.”
Unfortunately, the people running the three letter agencies and the gubmint here subscribe to the same philosophy.
you may be right
but if so, there is no future for any of us
we should just say our goodnight prayers, roll over and go to sleep
everyone on the world stage right now is aiming to get rid of us
I agree our present gummit is bought and paid for.
I also subscribe to Devolution by Patel Patriot and the Wartime Presidency by Slag.
I believe there are some good guys working to counter the bad guys. As Dianne Marshall keeps reminding us – God has got this and God will not be mocked.
personally I am praying hard because I believe God is capable of reducing us all to algae and letting us start all over again – maybe to get it right this time?
Absolutely agree that God has got this. And in the end it will all work as part of God’s plan.
Therein lies our hope – in God, not in men. In His time He may use some men to accomplish his purpose, maybe even some tyrants. It has happened before in history, it’s all in the Bible.
In the meantime, as I look up to my Heavenly Father and try to discern His Will I am prepared for what may come. Having lived my first 30 years as a serf to a totalitarian government I have vowed Never Again will I live like a slave.
God got it right the first time. We are the ones that screwed up and because of His infinite love for us he put off the Shekinah glory and put on the depraved human form to die on the cross for the forgiveness of All our sins. All one has to do is to accept His atoning sacrifice and thus secure their eternal salvation.
That is the reason for my hope, I am not worried the least, I know where I am going at the end. In the loving arms of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I keep reading and seeking an answer.
The reports I saw early on showed bombs taking out airports and military installations NEAR the bio labs, but not the labs themselves.
I suspect the labs will be ‘invaded’, searched, people arrested, info taken. I doubt that Russian troops will announce their intentions in advance
He makes some very good points.
I watched this now former Canadian Mountie with tears. God bless him. We all need his courage.
A law abiding man…it’s costing him.
Amen 🙏
Quip O’Day – Sunday February 27,2022
Every man has his own eyes to choose the world with.
“What A Fool Believes”
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don’t see
Tryin’ hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He’s watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him…
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there’s a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He’s watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There’s nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees…

Grievous.

Sundance is this true? The U.S. Department of Defense’s Biological Threat Reduction Program collaborates with partner countries to counter the threat of outbreaks (deliberate, accidental, or natural) of the world’s most dangerous infectious diseases. The program accomplishes its bio-threat reduction mission through the development of a bio-risk management culture; international research partnerships; and partner capacity for enhanced bio-security, bio-safety, and bio-surveillance measures. The Biological Threat Reduction Program’s priorities in Ukraine are to consolidate and secure pathogens and toxins of security concern and to continue to ensure Ukraine can detect and report outbreaks caused by dangerous pathogens before they pose security or stability threats.
Current executive agents of the Biological Threat Reduction Program in Ukraine are the Ministry of Health, the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences, and the Ministry of Defense.
You need to ask the right question…
Why did our government remove all documents from the website 😛
Amen!
Amen.
Amen
Amen 🙏
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
