Take your opinion to the Polls, not to BBQ
BBQ has always had a gentle soul. And although it has raised its voice at times, it has been kind, most of the time.
Take your opinions to the polls, not to BBQ. There is enough hate and consternation on TV and at the table next to you at the restaurant. Don’t spread it to our little community.
Most people know what they support and who, and your SCREAMING only strengthens that support, not changing it one iota.
Thank you, BBQ, for always being there for everyone, even the crazies. But please keep hate out of our community.

In time we come to know, we understand
there is no saving grace in lies and misleading.
Deep and real differences may hold our families;
But there is no saving grace in lies and using
what misleads. Across canyons of time and space,
listening to the voices of trusted elders and
honored friends, “Through love alone will hate be healed.”
Be healed and know we have awakened before,
left behind our ignorance, the delusions of our greed,
hatred, and fear. Slowly, we are abandoning the belief
that a man or woman can own another, assume
or create a relation that does not recognize the
inherent rights and dignity of another. At work
as in marriage, community, and state relations
this entitlement is now a birthright, an achievement
of what is best in all of us. We are awakening, slowly
reaching the understanding that war is not a sustainable
choice. The war in Vietnam, the war in Iraq, wherever
we may look, we are coming to know that war profits
a small minority of citizens. We have heard all their lies,
the reasons why our sons and daughters must continue to die,
why those of us who have the most merit further incentives
to accumulate even more. There is no saving grace in being
misled. We are also awakening to the fragile gift of democracy,
how your voice and vote is equal to all others. Will it ever be
easy to recognize and accept how we have been used?
Each of us knows the answer to this common experience.
But as the typhoons come and the tornados grow stronger, as
species extinction accelerates, and our divorce rates incline,
as our coastal cities submerge and our elders die of unrelenting
heat, we can awaken, recognize how we have been used.
What comes to mind when I hear their notion that we should
deport millions of our brothers and sisters seeking as we have
sought a better life, or listen to their war cry, drill baby drill,
what comes to mind is, “They just let you do it.”

GRID FAIL!
I think it VERY likely we will VERY soon wake up to a total grid down scenario. This might be due to a hack, a mistake, because of the war Democrats are trying to start, or an intentional grid-collapse by the DEMOCRAT WHO JUST TRIED TO MURDER TRUMP. This new brand of murderous Democrat will do anything to get their war with Russia.
In a grid-down scenario, most will die within 30 days.
Clean water will be an issue. So in addition to having ON-HAND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO LIVE FOR 30 DAYS, also consider taking Kim Miller’s clean-water/emergency scenario WASH class at Nehelam Bay Fire Rescue?
Next classes:
9/14
10/26
11/23
Here are todays headlines on Drudge. If this doesn’t get you prepping, don’t come knocking on my door:
Tech Outage Hits Banks, Airlines, Firms Worldwide… Developing…
MICROSOFT CRASH WREAKS HAVOC…
Most serious IT faliure ever seen… Plunged into dark ages…
Heath care providers report problems with patient services…
Huge hospital group forced to cancel surgeries…
CROWDSTRIKE says not cyberattack; Fix deployed…
‘Could take weeks’ to repair…
Worth noting that Bill Gates’ (reduce population NOW!) Microsoft is the progenitor of this deadly chaos, which will see many die. And this outage is minor.
I have stated my opinion about this on this site, and I will state again that I believe it is quite foolish to remain unprepared for a grid-fail scenario. If you keep 30 days worth of stuff in your garage, clean water, food, medicine, you will have a great chance of making it 30 days with no cash-registers, no gasoline for you car, no electricity, etc.

Geraldo Rivera, circa 1975
The film, the only copy, was shot on super 8 by a civilian, and then was hidden from the world by the D.C. spook crowd for 12 years. Only the spooks got to watch the film for 12 years.
How come the spooks didn’t want folks to see the film and kept it hidden for 12 years?
Because in the film you can clearly see JFK being shot in the FRONT of his throat, which he clutches, and then you can clearly sees his head snapping BACKWARDS, and brain debris coming out of the BACK of his head, after the shots were fired from in FRONT of him. And then you can see Jackie climb onto the BACK of the limo to retrieve her dead husband’s brain debris.
Why is all of this important? Why was the film hidden from Americans and the rest of the world by the spooks for 12 years?
Because the spooks told us that Oswald was BEHIND JFK shooting, and the shots clearly, as seen in the film, were fired from in FRONT of JFK.
Watch the film and see for yourself. (Or, just go on a beach walk instead?)
Why the murder of JFK is STILL important, is because it helps us understand current events, like the attempted murder of Trump the other day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxCH1yhGG3Q
And below is another significant motion-picture of shots being fired at a president.
Two-minutes is plenty of time for the SS to have prevented the shots, in this context, in my view.
Also, consider that the SS has a top view (satellites) and the guy on the roof would have been clearly seen via satellite:
x.com/TheMilkBarTV/status/1812731727053488418
I believe the primary motivation for JFKs murder was to turn the Vietnam situation into a BIG WAR (which JFK didn’t want), and make billions of dollars destroying that country (talk about an environmental disaster!) while killing 2-million of its citizens.
I believe the primary motivation for RFK’s murder was the same, a continuation of the BIG WAR Johnson started days after JFK’s murder.
I believe the primary motivation for the attempted murder of Trump was the same, except Trump isn’t trying to stop them (CIA, military-industrial-complex) from destroying Vietnam, he is trying to stop them from expanding the Dems’ Ukraine ‘operation’ (started by Obama in 2014 when he overthrew Ukraine) into World War Three, which is 100% the plan the Dems have going forward. World War! World War! So much suffering! Yay!!!!!!!
Every Dem potential candidate will propel us right into World War Three. And every Repub other than Trump will propel us right into World War Three.
RFK, Jr. won’t get us into World War Three, but the Dem elite (vax-whores, war-pigs), the Obama/Clinton crime families, don’t even want you to hear what RFK, Jr. has to say. I wonder why?
The Dem elite care as much about their voters as Bud Light does Dylan Mulvaney: NOT AT ALL!
The only way to stop World War Three is to elect Donald Trump. Tough medicine, but it might just save your life.
It’s the way of peace and love, Trump is the only anti-war choice. I know, I know, tough medicine to swallow!
But please join me, won’t you?
MAGA!!!!!!!
NO WORLD WAR!!!!!
TRUMP ’24!!!!!!!!

BONUS!
These Ukrainians don’t want to die for you and Zelensky and Lynsie Graham. I don’t blame them. I, too, would rather drown fleeing then die for you in a senseless war, started by NATO pigs:

Bill Clinton’s motorcade/1995
The SS was also very much complicit in the murders of JFK and RFK.
Like the Kennedy boys, Trump isn’t on board with their (CIA, military-industrial-complex, etc.) wars, this one being world war three via Russia. Trump ain’t on bard with a hot war with Russia. AND WE SHOULD ALL THANK HIM FOR THAT!!!!!
Looks to me like the SS let the shots at Trump fire. Trump has his own private security, but they are resourcefully-dwarfed compared tp the SS, who coulda/shoulda seen the guy on the roof – real close! – who shot Trump today, he was WAY closer to Trump than the guy with the scope in Wyoming that day:

Independent Presidential Candidate
He has a podcast on Spotify interviewing many people who also reflect where he stands on issues.
His attention and concern for the environment, the Children’s Health Defense Council that he started, His proposal of positive ways to create regenerative agriculture, and his desire to end all the endless WARS and bring back that huge chunk of our tax dollars to our citizens to create a healthier society here feeds optimism to my mind and spirit.
Independent candidates haven’t been taken very seriously in the past in FEAR of taking votes away from the 2 party system. However:
Social media has helped even the playing field, and with the common thread of a strong desire for positive change, this Candidate deserves a consideration.
response to
i just want to say that i am in 100% agreement about signing opinion posts.
after all, your opinion is worth more, or less, depending on who you are. we each have whatever amount of credibility from living in this north county community, and that makes a difference whether someone is going to listen to you.
if an opinion piece is unsigned, i give it no attention.
just sayin’. putting in my two cents worth!

SAVE THE PLANET FOR WHO?
AND THE USA IS ONE OF THEM!
www.globalresearch.ca/13-nations-sign-agreement-engineer-global-famine/5860390
read the article here:
According to the agreement, which was drawn up by the WEF and the United Nations (UN), food production is causing “global warming” and must be eliminated.
To “save the planet” from “climate change,” globalists insist, farms must be shut down across the world.
In other words – to save the planet we have to die of starvation- which is happening in many parts of the world now. The hype of bird flu is just one of the weapons used to accomplish this.
So why would people want to save the planet if most of us will die of starvation? Just who are we saving the planet for?
Cut the water – get rid of the farmer – watch for this in your Oregon legislature – already being tried in Idaho and elsewhere.
