held in solitary confinement much longer than any reasonable person would consider necessary or just (also on Spotify and Google). Such notables as Dinesh D’Souza (2000 Mules) and Micki Witthoeft (mother of Ashli Babbitt) have been guests.

Given that he was an eyewitness to the murder of Rosanne Boyland by a Capitol policewoman (watch video here), it is not surprising that he was held two years without trial, thereby violating the Sixth Amendment right to a speedy and public trial. Video footage exists showing Jake attempting to help Rosanne, and then pulling Philip Anderson to safety, thus saving his life. A public trial would risk that video being seen by a still sleepy nation.

In December 2022, the Administration denied Jake’s right to speak with his attorney; that’s blatantly illegal and wildly unconstitutional. Jake was offered a plea deal for 9 years in prison, which he refused. There are twelve charges against him, one of the most serious being a violation of 18 U.S. Code Section 1512(c)(2), a law against evidence tampering in official proceedings, which has been bent by the Administration to provide a path for felony charges against many of the J6ers. Lang and his attorneys are petitioning the Supreme Court to hear their argument. If they are successful, it could impact hundreds of other J6ers, who were wrongfully charged under that section.

A month ago, Taylor Taranto was arrested near the Obama’s DC residence, carrying weapons in his van. There was an outstanding arrest warrant for his presence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. It’s unclear why he had not previously been arrested, as he was living a public life and could easily have been located. Why was he still free, when over 1,000 citizens had been arrested over the last 2-1/2 years? Once arrested, he was placed in the Patriot Pod, the DC gulag where many J6ers have been beaten, denied medical care, adequate food and access to worship. There was a kerfuffle, which was probably exactly what the authorities were hoping, but Jake Lang stepped up and attempted to defuse the situation with the Gospel.

“I want to let you, the reader, know that this book is not for the weak-minded, easily offended, overly emotional, or especially the apathetic. I will not be whining or complaining, and nothing I say comes from fear, because fear does not live in the heart of a patriot. I speak the truth directly from the power of God’s Holy Spirit, no matter the cost, threat, punishment or perception. To suffer, to truly suffer for righteousness’s sake and to be cast off and hated by this world, is the single biggest blessing a man can have in this lifetime. I consider myself highly favored by God to be chosen for a time like this. He makes no mistakes. Today is three days shy of 19 months as a political prisoner in the United States of America.”

X.com

Twitter was just starting to look like a reasonable bet, but I’m having second thoughts after the rebranding. Twitter, now X.com, “The Everything App” has a strategy to locate your whole digital life on their app, including banking and bill payment. Why in the name of all that’s sane would I want all my critical information and resources in one hackable place? Does anyone really want an everything app? The only plus I can think of is that Musk might be able to keep X going on Starlink if everything else goes down.

Out of Shadows

This documentary came out in 2020, but I’m hearing it talked about more lately. “Out Of Shadows documentary lifts the mask on how the mainstream media and Hollywood manipulate and control the masses by spreading propaganda throughout their content. Our goal is to wake up the general public by shedding light on how we all have been brainwashed by a hidden enemy with a sinister agenda.”

Search Engine Experiment

While searching for stories on the Twitter rebranding, all I found was the same 8-10 stories from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, New York Times, WaPo, USAToday and the Guardian (the usual news-twisting suspects), listed over and over. I went all the way out to page 42 of results on Ecosia, the search engine that claims to plant a tree with every search, without finding anything but those same stories, listed repeatedly. Ecosia is one of the 5 search engines that will run on Apple’s Safari, which is what I have on my laptop.

I finally used the search feature on Telegram to find alternative sources. Since that search returns results from channels I’ve already chosen and trust, I got reliable news items much faster. I also tried Brave, and it returned a greater variety of results.

Here’s an interesting article about the near-impossibility of building a good search engine that prioritizes users over the monster-money advertisers.

Region 9 Field Day

Region 9’s Field Day was in Lone Rock, Wisconsin on July 22. Region 9 pioneered the idea of Field Days with their first regional conference in 2021, which turned into the National Conference. A summary of their latest from Regional Coordinator Kris Rehfeld:

Gregorian chant greeted us through the speaker system as we gathered at Jim and Gerry Farina’s farm for Region 9 Field Day. Individuals and families from regions 7 and 9 came together to unite and fulfill Charlie’s call to make a big splash with our numbers. The splash was like a cannonball jump into a pool! As always, Charlie’s talk touched the heart of individuals as if he spoke to each alone. He gave hope and direction, encouraging us, as always, to acknowledge God, take the next right step and be a sign of hope to others.

After Charlie’s talk, the available demonstrations seemed bottomless. You could learn to slaughter a goat or chicken, grow mushrooms, can or freeze dry food, cook off-grid, make tinctures, garlic honey or fire cider. Presentations were given on ham radio, solar panels, electricity, generators and ammo. Knowledge was shared between attendees and presenters.

In my humble opinion, CORAC’ers are some of the best cooks and bakers around. I invite you to picture lunch…There was the meat area with real Italian sausage, pulled chicken and later, a taste of the goat. A string of tables held sides of every variety. But the true success of the day was the camaraderie and community-building that transpired. We are the guys that do stuff!

If your region hasn’t had a Field Day yet, call your regional coordinator, and volunteer to help organize. The opportunity to meet other members face-to-face is priceless, You’ll be amazed at the expertise that comes from people in your region.

Power From Pedals

Light Source

As of Tuesday, August 1, it is illegal to buy or sell incandescent light bulbs, the kind most of us grew up with. The government has decided for us, just like they want to decide about gas ranges and water heaters. The alternatives to incandescent light are LED, fluorescent and halogen. LED and fluorescents emit much higher levels of blue light, which raises the risk of macular degeneration in users, with additional risk to those who’ve had cataract surgery. 90% of lighting is now LED. Read more here >

There is a blue light filter you can enable on some phones, and you can install one on your computer screen. There are even blue light-blocking glasses, but I couldn’t find any studies that showed they worked.

In addition to the blue light damage to our eyes, there is more general “screen strain.” For no cost at all, you can practice the 20-20-20 rule for relieving eye strain: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It forces your eyes to relax, and re-establishes your body’s natural blink rate.

Climate Crisis Hoax

For those who saw through the covid response hoax and resulting bioweapon shot, it’s not so hard to see that the “next big thing,” the so-called climate crisis, is a sham and a swindle. Once again, we’ll have to try to wake people up to see the scam before they trade their birthright of freedom for slavery.

Here are some starter resources:

• Dr. Judith Curry, “There’s No Emergency” >
• Dr. John Clauser, Nobel Laureate >

There were multiple reports of falsified data around the world last week. For example, the BBC tweeted a temperature for Sicily that was 7º hotter than the BBC local weather app on the same day. In Corsica, the banner running at the bottom of a TV screen read 42ºC, while local weather stations recorded 32ºC. In the United States, the mainstream media is saying that this is the hottest summer on record, even though the temperatures aren’t the highest ever (yeah, figure that one out.)

FEDNOW Launches

The new instant payment system of the Federal Reserve launched July 20. Only 35 banks have signed on, out of several hundred who participated in the testing phase. Is that the result of consumers being wary of what looks very much like a prototype for a CBDC? Interestingly, two of the huge international banks, Chase and Wells Fargo, signed on, while two others, Bank of America and Citibank did not. It has the look of a control group experiment. If so, and customers of Chase and Wells Fargo decamp to B of A and Citi, perhaps the CBDC can be postponed.

When I transfer funds by Zelle from my account to someone else’s, the recipient is able to use those funds instantly. But apparently the back side of that transaction, the bank-to-bank transfer, runs in arrears. So FedNow may benefit the banks, but it provides no additional benefit to the consumer.

Currently, when bank deposits are declining precipitately in response to inflation and multiple bank failures, banks may be more responsive to consumer discontent. The current deposit decline is the largest since the FDIC began collecting quarterly industry data in 1984, and marked the fourth consecutive quarter of industry outflows.
