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 †

Good morning, Garrison 😘
Good morning one and all in these beloved branches 💕
I’m here…but not here (if that makes any sense 🤔). Coffee please, and lots of it, plus this beautiful music, should help me catch myself coming and going.
CURSDAY once more.
Mornin’ Bet 🙂 Just finished my morning cup of Bustelo (which of course includes Little ‘Tink’s obligatory kitty-in-my-lap head scratch). She was very patient, waiting for me to settle in w/ my cuppa’, before she alighted in my lap as if to say—“Ok, my turn now”. Sure enough, it was her turn.
Well fancy that!!!! She surely is one smart kitty…and a good one, too 💕

I dunno, honey … probably not a high demand for “two degrees in communications and acting”
Maybe shoulda learned to code

Swoon… God morning lindak
Morning JWoo. I know.
It’s a big world
Sitting on a beach in Bali
Tried to reach and grab a cloud
Looked so much like cotton candy
And I’m feeling God-like
Could it be just what I’m eating
Only mushrooms after all
And with juice of avocado
I should live forever
Great one … I see you noticed my cut from Big World the other night … a simply superb lp that I suspect few have ever heard

Mornin’ dear ‘Woo. 🙂
Good afternoon, Garrison.
Windy here and the sun is working its way through the cloud cover. Winds are supposed to get up to 45 mph in some spots. Supposed to be warm here tomorrow.
Indeed! He was a blessing and his InTouch Ministries still blessing many.
I’ve been listening to him ever since I came to live in the US, in 1995.
Amen! Where did you come from Val1? If I may be so bold to ask? Blessings on you!
I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. But my Country of choice is the United States!
I have very unusual relatives affiliated with the Butantan Institute in Sao Paulo. When my great-uncle passed away, they dedicated two pages of the local newspaper to his memorial and life’s work. He was a world-renown Venomologist.
My father was mad at me when I chose Spanish as my second language over German or Portuguese.
How nice! We used to have class trips to the Institute. An impressive place!
I think you did right by choosing Spanish, Portuguese language is not very useful in the world.
Sometimes, this song can be applied to our search for God.
Hope everybody’s search ends just as well.
Amen!
climate-change frantics want to go on and on about how “global warming” is behind every hurricane or rainstorm or — wait for it — “atmospheric river” or “bomb cyclone”
they fail to know about prior historical events like the Great Flood of 1862

I like it better with the boats.
This lack of knowledge is but one of the many bad things that can happen when you don’t teach history, but attempt instead to ignore or revise it.
Bob Seger understood… decades ago
One more from Bob Seger.. as he sings, All these users and fakes, big time takers. It’s time to lock and load!
I love this guy’s talk on revisionism.
He actually got accused of revisionism himself. So he owned it. At about 10 min.
A lot of history that has been ‘forgotten’ is covered in this 52 minute talk.

The lack of knowledge by our so-called “educated” younger generations is astounding. Their intellectual betters … my grandparents and great grandparents actually BUILT THINGS that tamed the NATURAL and REGULAR weather of CA. 110 yeas ago they built FLOOD CONTROL structures that diverted all the water coming down the American and Sacramento Rivers into the huge expanse of the Yolo Causeway. Man … tamed nature … and if you don’t believe that’s a good thing … then go live in your local creek with the homeless. Stupid kids who’ve swallowed the “global warming” cum “climate change” LIE … hook line and sinker, like bottom feeding scavengers.
Colours by Donovan
nice, thx
also a passable cover version by Terence Stamp in The Limey, a must-see film
Lindak … thank you for feeding my man-crush on Donovan. And in reference to the flooded streets of Sacramento (above), I offer Donovan’s epic musical poem – Atlantis. Because that appears to be what California has become … an island soon to be engulfed by forces (of its own creation) that will completely swamp the place … and God’s only response will be to wash it off the land mass.
Sorry … but this clip was just too good to pass up too … just imagine Taylor Swift sitting cross legged on the floor and just start singing the sweetest song ever … like she was in your living room … without lights, explosions, and 30 costume changes. She doesn’t have the talent to pull it off … sorry. Oh My! The subtle modulation of his voice and guitar picking … oh my. What a beautiful talent.
Yes, I had a crush on Donovan too. Pure talent .
Our beautiful state is being run into the ground by brainwashed fools. I am a 4th generation Californian and things were so much different when I was growing up.
I hope we can recover once we hit bottom.
Tommy Smothers lived up here in Norcal in the last years before his death. I think they had a winery. We spotted him around occasionally and his pretty wife.
I had no idea … we’re both 4th gen. Californians … both from N.CA … I’m just through the Caldecott tunnel
We are close in age as well. We have seen the same things.
I grew up in L.A., near the beach, El Porto. I have been here in Norcal since the late80’s, but further north near Santa Rosa more or less. My kids grew up here.
Here is a song you might like from another Californian, down San Diego way.
And of course, a Canadian immigrant says it all.
Fantastic. One of my favorite JM tunes. Story time … I’ve told tales about how I grew up poor and got bounced around by my parents growing up … so the VERY.FIRST time I ever saw LA was in HS when I was a Sophomore my best friend and his family took me with them on a summer trip to LA … to Disneyland … first time. And to the LA beaches first time. How dare a born and raised Californian not see LA till they’re in HS, right? His family was from Placentia … ugggh. But the first beach I ever saw in LA was Manhattan Beach … probably near El Porto … just filled with LA honeys in gorgeous bikinis … you were probably one of them! It made a massive impression on this sheltered kid from Nor CAL. It was ALL TRUE! Every image and ideal I had ever heard about the LA beach culture was 100% accurate.
Yes, now I weep for that State … and those beaches. I weep for my Bay Area that turns more and more into a frightening third word hellscape with each passing day. And Santa Rosa, Rhonert Park, and Petaluma that used to be such beautiful … sparsely populated semi-rural country are now overflowing with homeless encampments and strip malls.
Took my own kids to LA a LOT … And I just LOVE the beach towns with tightly packed houses and pedestrian lanes perpendicular to the beaches. What it must have been like to grow up there … and then. Wow. My daughter is in Dana Point … raising my own little beach boy grandsons. They love it. And even though I still consider myself a Nor Cal snob … I have found that the people in LA seem so much nicer and more welcoming than the … well … snobs … here in Nor CAL. Perhaps it’s better up there in the country.
Nothing ever wrong with a little Led Zeppelin. Thanx, Kenji !!
It is still rural here in Sonoma County although Marin County is pretty crazy rich and full of east coast implants. That’s ok.
It is still beautiful here and wide open. My kids grew up with country upbringing, hard work ethic, and no snobs among them.
Yes, I grew up in Beach Boy territory and we were all so loving the beach and the water and a certain innocence that seemed to exist at that time. The music of the Beach Boys captured it all. The Beach Boys grew up in Hawthorne, next to El Segundo next to El Porto.
I still love those beaches and the ocean in L.A.
Your lucky kids … I was lucky enough to live near the wild hills for a time growing up … and run those hills I did … in all seasons. Loved it after a wet winter when the grass and mustard were nearly over our heads. My goal is to find a spot like that where my own grandkids can frolic to their hearts content
Always LOVED this Donovan tune. Thought you might like the psychedelic backdrop, Kenji…

IDF’s Chief of Staff briefing to his high command at the south. This will give you a good idea as to what the IDF is doing and its strategy.
When I think about it it’s actually very smart because historically an invading force will get in trouble by guerrilla warfare of hit and hide.
The IDF has now turned around and is using guerilla warfare against the Hamas. Small raids with trickery ,based on quality Intel. And we have a lot of Intel with all the thousands of terrorists we captured. Anyways I translated it for you because it’s better to listen to him directly than all the media “experts” who alter the facts.
nice that he is congratulating his men
deeply
👍
The man is known to be very chill, including behind enemy lines. Was from the legendary Sayeret Matkal that is Israel’s Delta Force.
He is always very positive and realistic.
David. Yesterday you shared a post of IDF being attacked by a terrorist who only seemed to have a single grenade and knife.
This would indicate to me that many of the fighters have become disconnected from leadership and stockpiles of supplies and weapons? His attack was more of a suicide than an attack.
I’m sure that morale is extremely low on Hamas side. The stress must be unreal for them. It feels like many have decided to surrender or die.
I believe the fighting will become easier as time goes on. Israel has done a fantastic job of isolating Hamas from reinforcements and supplies. The battle of Gaza may be some of Israel’s most admirable battleground performances.
Christians around the world continue to pray for the IDF. We love them like our own sons.
Thanks for the updates. It is valuable for us to receive accurate info.
God bless Israel. Stay well.

Am wishing our American decision makers would stop injecting themselves into the situation. And everyone has an opinion.
God Bless all of you…praying for peace and justice.

Khan Yunis is down from 4 Battalions to one. ie. Kahn Yunis is about to fall. Their strongest Brigade that consists of four battalions is almost demolished. We have there our Division 98 that consists of some of the best Special Forces. It will be learned in military schools. It’s incredible what they are doing there. But as I said from the begining. It’s all about spirit. The spirit and determination of the single soldier and the commanders.

2/8/2024 – There is a sin unto death . . . and there is a sin not unto death
1 John 5:16-21 “If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. We know that whosoever is born of God sins not; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one touches him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”
Brotherly love and faith are insuperable; and there is no faith towards God if not believing in His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. From out of this proceeds our calling upon God with assurance: and out of which we make our prayers to be available for our brethren. We have to make prayers not only for ourselves, but also for our brethren which do sin, that their sins be not unto them, to death: and yet the Lord puts a difference concerning that sin which is never forgiven, which is the reproach of the Holy Ghost; that is, a totality of despising and rejecting and willful falling away from the known truth of the Gospel.
The will of God is for us to have His heart and His mind toward one another, at all times, and under every condition. The Lord desires for the one who sins, to be forgiven and cleansed and healed; and He has appointed us, as priests, to pray for each other, and to mediate and intercede. These are things which Jesus has appointed, as the duties of our office.
This is what was intimated, in how we should do all in our power to be reconciled to the brother who sins against us; first trying privately, one on one; then taking one or two to hear the matter objectively and bear witness; and lastly to bring the matter before the whole assembly, to establish judgment, if the brother is to still be regarded as a brother, or else a heathen. And with that Jesus adds,
“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:14-20)
2 Corinthians 2:8-11 “For this cause I beseech you that you would confirm your love toward him. For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether you be obedient in all things. To whom you forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; that Satan should not get an advantage over us: for we are not ignorant of his thoughts.”
The Holy Spirit makes it clear, in case anyone should have a tendency to be quarrelsome and contentious: indeed all lawlessness is constituted sin; but for mercy’s sake, that we should not despair; (because not every sin is deadly, and without hope of remedy); to put a difference between ignorance and presumption. We are required to examine strictly, and make inquisition, and to take counsel among ourselves, on what grounds to proceed, when dealing with sin; and to find out what was that evil root; and whether it could be removed and the brother be healed; or if he has turned aside after Satan, like Judas Iscariot; and therefore no longer to be prayed for.
It should be noted here, that the Lord still spoke to Peter like a brother, when telling him that Satan had desired to have him, and to sift him as wheat: but the Lord made no such efforts with Judas; for he had done so against the Spirit wickedly; out of arrogance and insolence, and a deliberate decision taken to stand with the devil against the Holy Spirit, and against his Faithful Friend the Lord Jesus.
It is on account of our having been made sons of God, that this standard must be upon how we judge one another in Christ. Standards may for a time seem to be relaxed, over the children of this world; as God is willing to bear with their darkness and sin; being merciful to their unbelief. But He holds us to the Standard of Christ, as those who have already been served the benefit of the atonement and forgiveness, and coming to the knowledge of the truth. And the unsaved among whom we dwell; are in some respects, made safe and enjoy peace for our sake.
In the world of the beginning, there was a whole half of the world’s population, that were the descendants of Cain; and so called, the children of men; while the families that descended of Seth, were the ones entrusted with the faith of Christ, and the Oracles of God. The children of men, were to a great degree, sanctified by their believing brethren; and God was willing to wink at their sins, as long as their believing brethren kept the faith of Christ coming to redeem us. But when the sons of God fell away willingly, by hardening their hearts to the Spirit of God, and rejecting the discipline of a holy way of life; they brought the judgment and ruin upon the whole world under their charge.
“We know that whosoever is born of God sins not; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one touches him not.” Where there is just room for pity upon our weakness and stupidity, we are to remember mercy, and look for every way we can recover our brother or sister who is in trouble. For vigilance and walking with understanding is the Standard; as is that we should love one another as Jesus has loved us, and given Himself for us.
It is not for no reason, that John attaches idolatry to the subject of what sins we should pray for, and recover our brother; or else what puts a man in danger of eternal damnation, and we are not to pray for him any more. Why is it the first two of the Ten Commandments, not to have other gods before the LORD eyes; and neither to do homage nor serve? It is in the very place, where God judges; to either show mercy upon the thousands of those who love Him and keep His commandments, or else to visit the iniquity of those who hate Him, even to the third and fourth generations.
Other gods and idolatry were invented out of hatred and rebellion against the LORD, and against the faith of His Anointed. And that is the point on the inward parts of a man, where God sees what kind he really is.
1 Samuel 15:23 “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has also rejected you from being king.”
Proverbs 4:23 “Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
Typo 🙁 Sorry, I didn’t get the Edit in time.
“insuperable” is supposed to be, “INSEPARABLE.”
“Other gods and idolatry were invented out of hatred and rebellion against the LORD, and against the faith of His Anointed. “ Indeed, however one should note that “other” gods need not be carved images, symbols etc. We all, in some form, mostly unwittingly “pay homage” to “idols”. This can take the form of love and servitude to money, to “success”, to “power”, even to the excesses of the 7 deadly sins. In short, whatever a person has in their life that constantly and systematically pulls a person away from the love and understanding of God. (Oneness) When Jacob was on his deathbed, his sons (the 12 tribes) were all gathered about him. However Jacob was somewhat hesitant on passing his blessing upon them. He was “anxious” that perhaps one of them may contain some imperfection. The sons, noticing their fathers concern, then gave us the essential and powerful verse. ““Hear, O Israel! (Jacob) (our father) The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!” (as we are). From where I sit, the sooner ALL of us think and act a little higher in recognizing the deeper meaning of this verse, the sooner we’ll all experience redemption.
Jazzbogie, re your posting re Norma, I replied to you too late for you to see. I hope you do not mind if I repost my message and that it will be of some interest and use to you..
Reply to Jazzbogie
I have prayed for Norma, and will continue to remember her in my prayers. Remember, to plead the Precious Blood of Jesus in your prayers.
Also, if I may, there is a substance available over the counter in some vitamin and health food places called ‘Carnosine’ supposed to have anti-cancer properties.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8002160/
“Carnosine also inhibits proliferation of gastric, colon, and ovarian cancer cell lines [11,12,13]. In this study, we sought to replicate these observations and also included breast cancer and promonocytic leukemia cells.”
“Research suggests that curcuminoids, the active ingredient in turmeric, may have cancer-fighting properties.
Some lab studies have found that curcumin may work against lung, breast, prostate, and colon cancers, while others suggest that it might help chemotherapy work better.
Curcumin inhibits carcinogenesis and their growth through various cellular and molecular mechanisms, and its use has been considered as a drug supplement in therapeutic diets of cancer patients.
However, research on curcumin as a cancer treatment is ongoing…” You can buy it in capsules but they are rather small doses and over-priced.
However, you can buy large envelopes of organic, powdered, Turmeric, containing Circuminoids at Health food stores, eg.’Organic Traditions’ Turmeric Powder and eat it by the teaspoonful. It is used in Indian cuisine and Indian medicine.. ( I took it for something else.)
Be sure to have her take as much vitamin C as she can tolerate …Lipsomal Vitamin C is better absorbed that other types. It comes in 1000 mgs per capsule. 1,000 MGs = 1 Gram ( high doses like 10 to 20 grams a day are sometimes taken) but can cause diarrhea. Each person’s tolerance is different.
( Read Dr. Linus Pauling re Vit C and Cancer (and heart disease)
C is an amazing vitamin, the more you take, the better. It is water soluble so you don’t have to .worry about taking too much, ( like Vit A)
God bless.
God morning, G.
Dutchman, I also replied to your posting too late, and I hope you will not mind if I repost it to you now:
Dear Dutchman, read what I posted above to Jazzbogie re Vitamin C . It could help you too, it certainly will not hurt.
Look up Dr Linus Pauling on Vitamin C.
He wrote a book called ‘Practicing Medicine without a License.’ However, he had two Nobel prizes for Chemistry (by himself not with partners.)
I am sure you will be fine. I have had some scary medical situations myself, so I know the stress.
Praying for your peace of mind and full recovery.

The Grunts Prayer
Oh Lord, thank you for granting me another day to stand up against the tyranny in the world today, blessing me with the will, strength and fortitude to continue walking, digging and fighting all over this once blessed United States of America. Please continue to help me carry this rucksack and weapon by walking beside me and lending your loving hand apon this yoke I proudly wear. Please bless me with a full ammo pouch and full canteen, one for the enemy around me the other for the enemy above, so that I may prevail against one and endure the other. Please bless me with the light of the moon and stars when I need them and clouds and rain when I desire cover from my enemies eyes. Please ensure my aim is true, that my creedo “One Shot, One Kill” is fullfilled, that my enemy does not suffer and their end is swift and complete. Please Lord, protect me from short rounds and friendly fire from my allies, so that I might continue to honor my oath to the Constitution of the United States of America. Last of all Lord please forgive me for what I must do, I only wished to be left alone, bask in the glory of your word and behold this beautiful world that you created for us but alas Evil has risen and I am compelled to smite it in your name.
Amen 🙏🏻
On this week’s episode of “The Caroline Glick Show,” my guest was noted American classicist, military historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson from the Hoover Institute at Stanford. Prof. Hanson and I talked about the state of American politics and culture, and how it will affect the Middle East and Israel. Will the progressive takeover of American educational, political and military institutions continue to erode U.S. support for Israel? Should Israel supporters just wait in the hopes that a pro-Israel president like Donald Trump will win the presidency? How should Israel react to American foreign policy?

VDH: Hamas and Hezbollah think the U.S. will not help Israel
I’m saddened for the foreign countries who have grown dependent on the leadership of the United States. We’ve reduced into every nation, man, woman, and child for themselves.
I look forward to listening to Ms. Glick. Thank you for sharing.
Wow … pretty GRIM prognostications by VDH. America is utterly doomed … it appears as though the 51% better restore our country at the ballot box … or by bloody revolution. Or … we all just shrug and watch it all disappear.
I think it’s time for shoulder-shruggin’ exercises
INSTANTANEOUS AND INSISTENT SANCTIFICATION
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly.” 1 Thess. v. 23-24
When we pray to be sanctified, are we prepared to face the standard of these verses? We take the term sanctification much too lightly. Are we prepared for what sanctification will cost? It will cost an intense narrowing of all our interest on earth, and an immense broadening of all our interest in God. Sanctification means intense concentration on God’s point of view. It means every power of body, soul and spirit chained and kept for God’s purpose only. Are we prepared for God to do in us all that He separated us for? And then after His work is done in us, are we prepared to separate ourselves to God even as Jesus did? “For their sakes I sanctify Myself.” The reason some of us have not entered into the experience of sanctification is that we have not realized the meaning of sanctification from God’s standpoint. Sanctification means being made one with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him will rule us. Are we prepared for what that will cost? It will cost everything that is not of God in us.
Are we prepared to be caught up into the swing of this prayer of the apostle Paul’s? Are we prepared to say – “Lord, make me as holy as You can make a sinner saved by grace”? Jesus has prayed that we might be one with Him as He is one with the Father. The one and only characteristic of the Holy Ghost in a man is a strong family likeness to Jesus Christ, and freedom from everything that is unlike Him. Are we prepared to set ourselves apart for the Holy Spirit’s ministrations in us?

God morning, Stevie,
May the Lord bless your day with productivity and peace.
“Jesus has prayed that we might be one with Him as He is one with the Father.”
Jesus endured and He triumphed. He was Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End… and still He proclaims that He wants us one with Him. He knows we can endure it, if we simply and sacrificially believe.
Ahhh… to rest in His Presence. He knows we can make it. Do we?
Love you, Sis.

James O’Keefe latest message…. May our Lord protect him and his cohorts.
O’Keefe Media Group
O’Keefe Media Group Donation PageDear Friend,
This week is the one-year anniversary of Matt Tyrmand and his friend Dan Strack leading a 6-hour Maoist “struggle session”-style board meeting flogging me for taking SUVs to meetings, stealing pregnant lady’s sandwiches, and, amongst other things, claiming I’m a terrible leader. I have a recording of that meeting that I never released.
Matt Tyrmand said Project Veritas didn’t need James O’Keefe anymore and would be fine without him. That, along with his statement, “You didn’t build that, your employees did,” sounded right out of the Labor theory of value, one of the pillars of Marxism. He seemed to want the farm without the farmer or the golden eggs without the goose that produced them. This is a common problem with nonprofits in general. Nobody owns anything; therefore, no good deed goes unpunished – if you have the wrong people involved.
My main concern in the board meeting one year ago tonight, while I sat there quietly being flogged for hours, was indemnifying our journalists because I knew the organization would run out of money if they voted me out. That action would leave our journalists, who needed defending, hung out to dry. The ongoing lawsuits affected 1st and 4th Amendment principles, particularly unconstitutional FBI raids and accompanying search warrants. I never settle lawsuits on principle because I refuse to bear false witness on the 1st amendment and choose the challenging, expensive route of dying on every 1st amendment hill. I can only do this by making the final decisions about raising and apportioning money to litigation. Our cases remain in the circuit courts, with some inevitably bound for the Supreme Court. Since making these final decisions and having the backs of our journalists is central to the sanctity and integrity of the journalism itself, my journalism and being the CEO and final decision-maker are inextricably linked.
So, I had no choice but to ask the board to resign. They refused. They also refused to consider or even fathom the indemnification issue. The “struggle session” indicated they weren’t even interested in dialogue. They informed me I needed to take my lashings and feel remorseful. The board eventually resigned months later, anyway, after they spent millions of dollars and ran out of money. It wasn’t until then that they started to confront the indemnification issue (you can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality) and began to send out emails asking their audience to pay the legal bills of those raided. Then, to the shock of the few remaining Project Veritas staff, leadership used the little money they raised from the fundraising emails not to support legal defense but to pay themselves. This irresponsible conduct was so unconscionable that it led to their own lawyer’s resignation.
After being fired, I had the impossible task of somehow raising funds to pay Project Veritas journalists’ legal bills while starting a new venture (OMG – O’Keefe Media Group) from scratch and with absolutely no infrastructure. If that wasn’t impossible enough, Project Veritas – the company I founded- sued me and asked a Federal Judge in New York to issue an injunction to stop me from working. Now, things started to seem demonic.
This led most of Project Veritas’ donors and audience to believe the worst-case scenario – that people were compromised, pinched, or worse. While that is certainly possible, I don’t know that to be true. However, the timing did provide undeniable circumstantial evidence. What did Matt Tyrmand, Dan Strack, George Skakel, John Garvey, and Joe Barton think people would be going to assume after taking such a drastic action of ‘indefinitely suspending” James O’Keefe only a week after the Pfizer story?
Donors and the audience were going to conclude that the Project Veritas Board was evil, stupid, or compromised.
Then, in a late May board meeting, a day after Dan Strack quit, there was a stand-off where staff demanded Matt Tyrmand resign after he said he wanted to “carve out James heart and eat it in front of him.” I have a recording of that meeting and have not released it. George Skakel, previously an ally of Tyrmand, wrote a letter demanding Tyrmand resign or be fired. Tyrmand resigned in July and promised that dirt on James O’Keefe would come out to the media. Under his brief leadership, Matt Tyrmand managed to burn through the $10 million I raised before being fired. After I left, almost nothing was raised, and donors demanded their money back. Matt also hired a new CEO who fired the entire staff before she, too, quit.
Coincidentally, there was a police report filed over stolen checks around the time that happened, and people are still trying to get to the bottom of that.
Over the last year, Matt Tyrmand has sent pornographic posts and sexually harassing text messages that are so obscene I can’t post them or describe them here without the risk of being banned on this platform. I still do not understand why a person would be compelled to do that.
Matt Tyrmand’s initial strategy, when asked by people what he was thinking, was the somewhat effective “Adam Schiff approach” -“James has done something terrible, but I can’t tell you what it is. It will come out later.” This approach was used on Trump regarding Russia by Congressman Schiff. In my case, it worked on some people until they learned that Matt had already released everything he had. Whatever he knew, he would leak and share immediately. To this day, the standard response from those responsible for the destruction of Project Veritas is, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.” When asked what they mean, no new justification or evidence is given. All that is provided are insults, pornographic images, and slurs. I have hundreds of these communications saved from some former employees and board members who often use anonymous phone numbers and X accounts.
I get asked every day why all of this happened.
Simply…Why?
Seven years ago, an advisor closely witnessed Matt Tyrmand’s behavior alongside me while we were on his boat. One day, the advisor pulled me aside and warned me that Tyrmand “wants to be you, James. He’s jealous of you.” Looking back, I was oblivious to it, and the events described above would have been inconceivable in my mind back then. Again, I was raised to believe in the best in people. Someone taking a more Hobbesian approach to human nature would not have founded Project Veritas or chosen my path.
The lesson here is how jealousy and envy can destroy a man in the worst way and destroy organizations and even movements. It is a disease in our politics, institutions, economics, and humanity. Envy is the root of all socialism. Envy has led to death and destruction throughout the 20th century. Envy is inherent in human nature and one of the things we fight against.
It is a spiritual battle, a tale as old as time.
This was the anniversary of that fateful board meeting when I was escorted out of the building in tears, a building that my sister, an architect, helped me construct and design back in 2015. A building that was flooded and destroyed and had to be rebuilt again back in 2021 in the face of constant defamation, raids, and lawsuits. Things can be destroyed in a moment. It takes so much time to build.
But I am grateful to have the overwhelming toxicity entirely removed from my life. The cancer is all gone. I am liberated now. My greatest mistake was not firing Dan Strack immediately when he told me in the Summer of 2022 that he would not follow my lead. I commit to you, my audience, to never make that mistake again.
There is more to say, but at the moment, I have more pressing things to do, like producing our story for Wednesday about yet another institution we infiltrated. Footage you wouldn’t believe unless you saw.
And see it you will, 4 pm – 6 pm, every Wednesday, “ON THE INSIDE w/ James O’Keefe”…Tune in then, and any support you can offer to continue our mission is, as always, greatly appreciated.
In Truth,
James O’Keefe
Founder and CEO
O’Keefe Media Group
So interesting, thanks, Woo, for posting that. I wondered what had happened. I am so glad James O’Keefe is back and in fighting spirit. and may he be under God’s protection and successful in all his endeavors.
He sent out another message just before breaking the internet with his interview with the gay defense administrator talking about the desire to remove Kamala, but they never would because she’s the first black, female VP. James said “I am not suicidal.”
I hope he doesn’t get Breitbart’d – we need him and his guerilla journalism.
One of the guys from Patrick Bet-David “PBD” podcast had dinner with James the night before he went undercover for that video clip. James has cajones.
JWoo, came across this video discussion btwn a retired Marine & a pastor and thought it might be of interest. I haven’t watched all of it yet, so don’t know what they have to say. I do like Pastor Joel’s (and no, it’s not Matt Walsh 🙂) other videos though. Thought it might have something of interest for you with Savannah.
Video is an hour long (I usually play on 1.5 speed).
Should Christians Join The Military Under Our Current Regime?
Well, after watching some of video, I must say that’s my least favorite so far with this pastor Joel.
I have only watched a couple of his vids before this one and they were of subjects the Bible touches on but doesn’t completely discuss (like nephilim, etc). I liked hearing POV of he and his guest, because I don’t know much about the subjects and was just getting info. I haven’t researched or formed my own opinion yet regarding subjects of those vids.
About the 47min mark on this vid though, pastor Joel seemed to like to hear himself think, opine, and decide what was what about everything discussed and I didn’t much enjoy that or agree with him.
I did like hearing the Marine speak about his experiences though. I haven’t finished the vid and maybe at the end he gets to say a bit more.
I think you may get more out of the comments below vid than you do in the body of it. I’m going back to finish it now and I’ll leave you to see what you think if you decide to watch.
Wanthetruth,
Thank you for sharing it. I just now saw your post. Would be really neat if we could have some kind of alert when someone is trying to reach us with special messages.
I’ll copy the link and watch tomorrow… or maybe over the weekend is better.
I only made it about 45 minutes into the Putin interview and have the Carolyn Glick bookmarked as well.
As for the military decision with my daughter, she’s not making any moves until after the election. This current institution is not our parents’ military.
Many thanks, friend.

Hachiko: The True Story of a Loyal Dog Who Waited For His Deceased Owner for Ten Years
https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/hachiko-dog/
Excerpt:
Every day, Ueno made his daily journey to work, following a familiar routine with Hachiko. In the mornings, the pair would walk to Shibuya Station, where Ueno caught the train to his workplace.
After finishing his classes for the day, Ueno would return on the train, punctually reaching the station at 3 p.m. There, Hachiko patiently awaited his companion, ready to accompany him on the journey home.
This routine continued until May 21, 1925, when Ueno failed to return.
The professor had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while he was giving a lecture to his class, and he died without ever returning to the train station at which Hachiko waited.
Despite this disruption in his routine, Hachiko returned the next day at the same time, hoping that Ueno would be there to meet him.
But, of course, the professor didn’t come home. Still, Hachiko, the faithful Akita, never gave up hope.
Even after Hachiko was given away following his master’s passing, he continued to sneak off to Shibuya Station at 3 PM, hoping to meet the professor.
Every single day, for the next 9 years, 9 months, and 15 days, Hachiko made his way to the station, morning and evening, where he would wait outside the ticket gates, rain, snow, or shine.
It seemed he was forever hoping that his master would eventually return. Soon, the lone dog began to draw the attention of other commuters.
Verse of the Day for Thursday, February 8, 2024
✟
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Joshua 1:9 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
WHO AM I
Who am I that God cares for me
Who is it I am supposed to be
What is it I am called to do
What makes me worthy of You
Have you ever pondered God
Have you ever wondered laud
Have you ever contemplated
Have you ever elevated – God
Did you know that you are blessed
With gifts and talents and zest
Have you ever considered why
You are the apple of God’s eye
We have jobs, titles, and responsibilities
Accountabilities acceptabilities permeabilities
No matter how confusing it all may be
God has a purpose and plan for thee
When guided by the Holy Spirit
We are moved if we can hear it
The voice of God from within
Where to go when to begin
We believe and receive
We are able to achieve
Because God wills it for us
We obey He gives the plus
We are here on an eternal quest
On our pathway we are but a guest
This life is our test to be worthy
For where we will end this journey
Have you ever been asked
To do something over tasked
Impossible for you but not for Him
God did not chose you on a whim
God knows the beginning and the end
It is your free will that may not bend
To His will we must be fully aware
Only way to know is through prayer
Whatever He asks of you to do
You must be willing and able on cue
You must obey His daily command
It is not a wish it is a demand
So if you are daily thinking
About God’s plan to be linking
Listen to what the Spirit asks of you
Then you will know just what to do
If failure plagues you – anxiety too
If life in general is making you blue
If you are lost without a compass
Get off your bum kick up a rumpus
The trick to making the distress stop
Is to get up and move till you plop
Override the mental with exercise
Be not fearful and just be otherwise
God has a remedy for whatever ails you
Tap into His Spirit sit not and just stew
For greater is He who lives within
Than he whose goal is mire you in sin
Know that God wants only what is best
For you to successfully complete the test
Develop those gifts and talents for your story
Give Him the effort He deserves for His Glory
