Here are some news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of the Fake News, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages, especially about President Trump.

People should spread around, if you are going to DC Jan 6th, and you are taking a camper or RV, do not bring firearms. All firearms are illegal in the borders of DC, and some think the current events are designed to provoke a search of all RV’s, and the public seizure of firearms to convince the public Trump’s supporters are bringing guns to DC to cause trouble.
Nashville Bomber’s remains found at the scene, he is assumed to have died in the explosion.
But is gets better – his RV had different pinstripes, and may have been a different RV. Even worse, the grill was noticeably different. And so was the writing on the front, which seemed to show one Camper was the Chateau Sport model. The cross-stroke on the T doesn’t seem to go as far toward the end on one either. Now it is really getting interesting.
Owner of a nearby tattoo parlor says he saw a similar RV staking out the area before the explosion. So the site was being scoped.
Supposedly he believed in aliens, though nobody knows where that assertion came from. Pic of him at the link.
A supposed former girlfriend says he claimed to her he had cancer. It is possible if he was watched.
Nashville bomber Anthony Warner has 10 surveillance cameras on the front of his house which had four owners in seven months, and he has a CIA eagle above the front door. I doubt an agent would do that. You do that if you are fucking with people.
According to here, he deeded his two homes for free, over to a 29 year old woman who works for an LA media/entertainment/sports company, and will not say if she ever met him (directing all questions to the FBI), she immediately deeded one of the houses over to someone else for no money, his house had surveillance cameras all over and No Trespassing signs, his neighbors helpfully said he was a weirdo, and he was reportedly concerned about surveillance of Americans using 5G, and that it might give people cancer, ‘ No way to know what happened here with any certainty, but one possibility is he got vanned, his body was stuck in the copy-cat camper they spent a couple of weeks preparing with remote driving gear and the shaped device/EMP. It was supposed to be an exact copy of his from the outside but somebody screwed up the pin striping, and his is now in a warehouse somewhere. Surveillance knew what was going on because they were running his coverage for it, and they deeded the houses around so when he died, their people, and maybe their operational budgets could absorb his wealth. It probably would also help sell that he did this himself, and was getting his affairs in order. Some articles are saying one house was deeded around back to his mom, but the truth is we know nothing about who is who, beyond the fact the camper looks off. Meanwhile, his observation post resident next door said he was a weirdo to cement the story, FBI leaked he was worried abut surveillance via 5G, which sounds better than he felt people were following him around and harassing him, and now pieces of him were found on the street around the remains of a camper that looked enough like his that the case is pretty much closed. Extraordinary timeline. I really can’t believe I could write that, and it really is probably the most logical explanation that fits the facts, and the reality we live in best. The alternative is, he launched the attack after either painting over his pinstripe, and changing his grill, or he exchanged his RV for a whole new one, that was almost exactly the same,but not quite.
He never took his RV out for years, until a month ago. One of the articles said he wrote a letter to the woman he deeded his house to saying he wanted to spend some time in the woods with his dogs, as if he wanted to get away from something.
There is actually an official petition to bring back death by lion as a viable sentence. Signing these things is normally a dubious proposition, but this one might be worth it.
Thomas Jefferson, among the most revered founding fathers of our country, only became President because he used his unilateral power as President of the Senate to approve the electors which would give him the Presidency. So the precedent is there for Pence to actually approve questionable electors to approve himself for the Presidency, let alone being allowed to disqualify tainted electors and send it to the House to let them select a President. If he doesn’t do it, he will never hold office again. If he does, his Presidency is assured.

From all that you have just read you can deduce that lying is a sin for others, and for us a virtue. Lying is one with our job: we should lie by words, by eyes, by smile, by clothing. Not only to deceive patients; as you know, our purpose is higher, and the lie, not the twist of hand, makes our real strength. With the lie, patiently learned and piously exercised, if God helps us we will come to dominate this country and perhaps the world: but this can only be done on the condition of having been able to lie better and longer than our enemies. I will not see that day, but you will see it: it will be a new golden age, when only the last resorts will force us to pluck out teeth again, while it will be enough for us to govern the State and administer public affairs, to lavish the pious lies that we have learned to bring to perfection. If we prove ourselves capable of this, the empire of the tooth-pullers will extend from East to West until the most distant islands, and it will have no end.

Found it in this article:
https://www.unz.com/article/how-yahweh-conquered-rome/
I posted the comment before reading the whole article (the quote that I found interesting enough to share is quoted at the start of the article), and the gist of the article is the author saying:
“Christianity is bad because it is false because it was created as Jewish operation against Rome.”
Curiously I have seen this narrative/vector of attack against Christianity being used by Israeli flags on /pol/ on threads about Christianity, and also curiously the author makes no mention of the verifiable fact that Jewish collective power has always been against Christ and Christians.
At the end of the day it was an interesting read, but I don’t buy his hypothesis at all.
Also, this comment about the article makes some criticism against it in case you’re interested:
https://www.unz.com/article/how-yahweh-conquered-rome/#comment-4368808
Atwill argues it from the opposite direction: Christianity is a Roman psy-op that was designed to keep Jewish collective power in check. His thesis is interesting reading, he traces Christianity into the writings of Josephus and the history of the Flavian dynasty. The synchronicities are quite strong.
I personally believe that modern Christianity has little to do with the teachings of Jesus, but that Jesus is worth following. To know what the doctrine of the Nicolaitins is, one needs to know that the Nicolaitins are the “people of Nicaea”. Nicaea has some important inputs into modern Christianity. Anyone who doesn’t agree with the Creeds and Council of Nicaea is generally not considered a Christian. But Jesus warned exactly against them, 200 years before.
Interesting, I wasn’t aware of that.
Thanks.
Mr. Jones, I find this information fascinating and was wondering if you could direct me to some reading material to research this topic a little more?
The information about Christianity as a Roman psy-op, comes from Joseph Atwill’s book “Caesar’s Messiah”.
The other information isn’t in a book per se. It came to me while meditating this year. The trigger was a TV show where they mentioned that the Greek city of Nicea was pronounced Nike. Then my background in Greek New Testament studies kicked in and I was able to decode “Nicolaitan” as “people of Nicaea”. Then connecting that dot with the knowledge of what the Creeds and Councils of Nicaea taught, and what it was they were opposing, and comparing that to what Jesus taught, finished the picture. Jesus said in Matthew 18, I did not come to abolish the law or the prophets. But everywhere that the Council of Nicaea is upheld as the standard of Christianity, that clear statement of Jesus is turned on its head. Another dot was when someone pointed out what else the Council of Nicaea promoted, apart from the famous Creed that everyone knows. They enshrined lawlessness as the essence of Christianity. A particular kind of lawlessness, like that witnessed in the Communist revolution in Russia; obey the Party, all else is allowed or forgiven.
The Nicolaitan doctrine has weakened the church, which has allowed groups like the Mormons and Muslims to dangle a bit of truth to their followers and draw away many Christians. Until you get back to fundamentals, as outlined by Rushdoony in his “Institutes of Biblical Law”, the doctrine of the Nicolaitans is an opaque mystery, which you have no way to guard yourself against. But in the book of Revelations, Jesus specifically warned about it as being something of major importance.
Mycroft, the comment I want to respond to is too deep in the thread to reply to, so I’m replying to this one.
Your comment is the most substantive I’ve seen on the subject. I’ve heard plenty of people like David Wilcock claim things like “The Council of Nicaea hid many things Jesus actually taught” (although he is trying to claim Jesus taught reincarnation and some other “new age” things.) Of course, it’s not like Wilcock is kind enough to drop a footnote for that claim like he does for hundreds of other things in his books, and I’ve been looking for some kind of reference to run down what supposedly changed in Christianity at Nicaea.
I’ll look up Rushdoony’s work. Thank you.
I don’t take Atwill’s “Caesar’s Messiah” seriously. He has done good work in other areas, but his claims (that I know of; I haven’t read the book yet but read much about it and heard his interviews) don’t fit with known dates. And if the Romans wanted to create a religion to pacify the Jewish people, they did a really bad job and instead created something that spread like fire through their empire into people who refused to worship the emperor as a god. Also, Tacitus documented the existence of Christians in 64 AD, which predates Atwill’s claims.
Thank you Eric, I wasn’t aware of those particular holes in Atwill’s thesis. Given the Jews were influencing the Roman Empire since the days of Cato, it seemed plausible on its face that they would attempt to co-opt Judaism, and that they would try to co-opt a real Messianic movement. And in fact, the movement at Nicaea and the various bits of paganism in Christianity show that Rome did succeed. Just maybe not according to the narrative Atwill lays out. Jesus and the apostles also foretold this. Jesus in his parable of the wheat and tares, and the apostle Paul when he said the man of lawlessness (big clue there!) is ALREADY at work in the Church.
Rushdoony knew about emotional triggers, but it cost him many words to say his message without running afoul of the Trinity shibboleth. And the Trinity was set in place exactly as a shibboleth to quickly weed out and attack anyone that would dig in and get to the truth of what Jesus had to say. For more info on that, I’d recommend the book by Sir Anthony Buzzard on the topic of the Trinity.
Miles Mathis makes a case that within 3 generations of Rome defeating the Phoenicians, the Phoenicians were ruling Rome. From that point, it is very hard to disentangle Israel from Phoenicia. Similar language, alphabet, etc.
There is evidence in the book “The Worship of Augustus Caesar” by Alexander del Mar that the Roman’s rewrote their history, adding and taking away whole centuries and decades. And that they did this multiple times. Also that every 400 years, some quadrant of the globe has its archives and libraries demolished. So our modern dating is off, and not by accident. This might fit in somehow with the recent article on Unz site on the topic of the middle ages being a cut and paste job. delMar wrote his book more than 100 years ago. It is interesting how his information fits in, and acts as a precursor to the work posted at Unz site recently.
It didn’t change at Nicaea, so much it was set in stone at Nicaea, after a two hundred year “march through the institutions” and very bloody struggle. When you understnad Jesus concept of “lawlessness” you can see from the writings of the earliest Church Fathers and the Didache how things changed over time and a Trinity concept was forced in, but it took even longer for the Law to be outlawed, so to speak. The Trinity was and is the touchstone they used to quickly rally against believers who tried to restore the original faith of Jesus. In turn, the restoration movements always got co-opted, some quickly, others took longer.
If they can’t call you a heretic, because you interpret the Bible rightly, they call you a Jew. Thus, they protect themselves from change to the left or the right, and their errors are enshrined until God comes. As witness to this, look at E Michael Jones, the Jordan Peterson of Alt-Christianity. He calls Protestants “Jews”, and especially rails against our Puritan ancestors who first settled this continent, calling us “Jews”, because we sought to live a peaceful life of honesty, integrity, hard work, and holiness with our families. The lazy always resent the hard working.
I never heard EMJ calling Protestants Jews (although I have not heard everything he ever put out), what I heard him say regarding Protestantism is that like Judaism, it was OK with Usury (which is verifiably true) and that during the reformation there was a lot of looting of the Catholic real estate done against the Catholics by the Protestants (which also happened).
I think it’s silly to call him the Juden “NOT meth” Peterstein of anything, given that EMJ self identifies as a Catholic, and Juden Peterstein self identifies as a NOT meth-head who can’t even answer the question if he believes in the Resurrection of Christ or not, but everyone has their opinions I guess.
BTW, I don’t identify as neither Protestant nor Catholic, and I enjoy both your content (your posts) and EMJs content, just sharing my thoughts.
I appreciate your comments too, Lembro. I’ve spoken with Orthodox Christian priests, and they echo what EM Jones says. Perhaps EMJ couches it a little softer, as being “Judaic”, but he pairs Protestantism and Judaism together as if they are the same thing. And the Orthodox Priests? They don’t sugar coat it at all. They say bluntly that “Protestants are Jews” and Catholics are “almost Jews”. This points to a view current in Orthodox Christianity that EMJ is repeating.
As for the looting of Catholic properties, that was justified. The Church had locked up almost 40% (give or take) of the countries land through abuse of inheritance laws and various grants, like the university endowment fund on steroids. In the Bible, the priesthood wasn’t even supposed to own land, but rather take a percentage of the years gross production. This limited the priesthood to what the population could support. 10% instead of the current 50% (counting government employees and bureaucrats as the modern priesthood)
Lem, the comparison of EM Jones to Jordan Peterson is not about crystal meth, or anything like that. It is related to an observation Vox Day made; when Jordan Peterson came on the scene, the shift to the Alt-Right came to a screeching halt. He was a limited hangout that stopped people from going deeper. EM Jones had the same effect on Alt-Christianity, those who are digging into the roots of the faith. The time was ripe, and people were starting to dig and learn, but the major influx was redirected and misguided by EM Jones. All his talk of “Logos”? Very interesting, but it takes one back into Greek Philosophy which was one of the big things that subverted the teachings of Jesus in the first place. It took a genius like Vox Day to take down Jordan Peterson. I’m not at Vox Day’s level. I can sniff that things are off, and have enough education and training to identify a fair number of them, but not in a situation to write a book about it.
Jordan Peterson gave young men the thrill of feeling like they were part of the Alt-Right, without actually doing it. EM Jones is taking advantage of peoples waking up to their need for spirituality and God. Like Jordan Peterson telling people to “clean their rooms”, EM Jones is telling people the Christian equivalent of such things.
Very interesting perspectives. Thanks!
are they getting sloppy or they dont care, or they dont know, but finding all this about a loner who minded his own biz more or less, on a Christmas weekend, with Trump sending the insects to the house for the holiday but essential cabal, its a glaring obvious false flag, because without fail its always a false flag when they know everything within 24 hours.
Or is the FBI just so that good they scare themselves?
Yet nobody knows nothing about Seth Rich, Epstein didnt kill himself, kamel=toe’s husband works for the law firm who set up the smartmatic software patents as collateral thru UBS bank in canada, owned by the head chi-com front man in north America, who also is involved with Soros and the Lord high muckymuck who now own Dominion, which spin off companies involed in playing cabal musical chairs with UBS, Cavez, Madura, their people, who are bag men for the chi-coms actually running Venezuala, who laundered billions in arms drug and human trafficking funds for the clintons to fund ISIS, who Comey exonerated as deputy IG then as FBI director, who Lynch, Romney and Comey invested in the Dominon circle jerk, garned billions out of, who the FBI knows nothing about while every vote we cast, looking now back to 1984, leaves the US to be lookedcat sent back with software that reassigns all our votes to the chosen winners, and #BillClintonIsAPedo.
It was nice while it lasted that the cabalcade of false flags took a vacay for a spell.

Deed theft is a real growing problem and could be involved in the whole Nashville incident. In Cook County you can sign up to be notified by email if there is any change in status to your deed since they are public records and therefore available for anyone to inspect. It’s a good idea to check the status of one’s property on a regular basis to make sure there is no hanky-panky going on. In this case the status of the property could perhaps have been changed without the owner’s knowledge.

Since so many times the gaybal does obviously stupid and destructive stuff that seems to make no sense, this is worth remembering:
I think the logic behind all those Biden announcements that made no sense about the wall and etc. are just gaybal having hope that the steal will still happen and rubbing that shit on people’s faces will increase the humiliation factor. Too bad for them, God will win and they will get fugged, can’t wait to find exactly how, but I am comfy af right now.
> designed to provoke a search of all RV’s
Some friends of ours are RV’ers. They’ve been getting jacked up by the police for years. Not just along the southern border states, but on I-40, I-80, and other “narcotics superhighways.” Apparently simply driving an RV is now “probable cause” for a stop and search in many places now, since “RVs are often used by drug traffickers.”

> Supposedly he believed in aliens, though nobody knows where that assertion came from.
Probably trying to slime the guy. There’ll be tax-evasion or pedo accusations next. And he’ll be “a loner.” And a “right-wing radical.” And probably a “white supremacist.” It’s the standard playbook.
Odd they should thow the “aliens” thing out there; remember all the Democratic Party members who were cheering when Hillary announced she was going to “reveal the Truth!” after she became President?
The article says:
I can’t remember if it’s “7th of 3rd” or “3rd of 7th” that is the official cover for Delta, but that’s something to keep in mind.
Interesting also, “David Webb” was technically the name MK Ultra’d Delta Force Operator Jason Bourne was born with. Could that be a message? As in we have guys like this and can pull their pin whenever we want?
I wonder how many operators were approached by a command they trusted, and told, “Why don’t you sit in on this hypnosis session? It will make you faster, stronger, more accurate, more decisive, and better able to keep your buddies alive.”
That’s interesting. Especially since there is a conservative David Webb Show ( https://twitter.com/davidwebbshow?lang=en ), which is usually pretty good compared to some of the more watered-down ones.
Now they just said he has memory loss, possibly due to PTSD. So Delta Force Soldier “David Webb” has memory loss/amnesia and PTSD, and for unclear reasons walked into a bowling alley and went full lethal force on all the people around him.
Right…all of these right-wing people shooting up harvest festivals, country music concerts, and bowling alleys in Red areas.
No one ever bother to go into a high-end restaurant in a blue city on a Friday night.
Not to be that guy but, Webb was a Green Beret. “Delta Force” does not exist 😉
Y’all can start with the gamma jokes but, compared to things that don’t exist we are all of us, gammas.
It has all the signs of a hypnotized shooter. And that shit is around since at least the Kenedy murders (60’s), and probably since at least Vietnam (50’s). I say it’s probable they use it since the Nam because in the sci-fi book “Forever War”, written by a Nam vet and apparently with a strong biographical influence, the protagonist describes how they used hypnotic conditioning associated to a trigger (which happens in real hypnotized shooter events) and its effects.
It makes sense that the glowies in charge of the hypno related programs would test that shit in a war scenario, lots of subjects to experiment with and lots of opportunities to see how effective it was (lots of shooting happens on wars, so it doesn’t raise attention like it would if experimenting on a civilian setting).
And he looked zoned out in the photo, with the type of deadened eyes of somebody tranced.
Jason Bourne had amnesia too. Are we watching a movie or what?
Green Berets name is actually Duke Webb

Thank you for the link. Our tax dollars at work, burning a hole through the shielding Bill had to install over his house, as some faceless cog tried to kill him.
People who talk about the covert takeover of the country sound insane. But the battle is real, and everything you were taught to think is impossible, you were taught to think was impossible because it made us as a people weaker. It made it so there would be no resistance, because only a crazy person would think there was anything to resist against.
Also, it took me eight tries to get that tweet to load, and two tries to get this comment to take.
The government, burning a hole in your pocket just to be able burn a hole in your house.
In my brief research so far, it would seem that the Impoundment Control Act merely allows the President to make suggestions to Congress, rather than make the signing conditional on said changes. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe the Congress is actually obligated to act (or at least, to act in a manner that affirms the President’s changes) in order to get passage of the bill.
Alex Jones,”The joke of the day is that after analyzing the DNA of the “human remains” found at the scene of the Nashville bomb, the FBI has just declared the bomber “died of covid.””
I got a huge laugh out of that.
Best thing about covid is that nobody has died from old age since March.

Possibly related to gaybal surveillance/harassment vehicular swarming at intersections (video):
https://tv.gab.com/channel/k2xxsteve/view/the-time-five-cars-pulled-out-5fe34048509bad0633f8bb40
Description:
”
That time FIVE cars pulled out right in front of me within days, including two literally within 30 seconds of each other, late-April early-May 2018. Ya know, I admit that part of this is/was my smaller car at the time, and people’s eyes just being trained to spot distances of bigger SUVs and minivans and completely misjudging distances, so there’s that. But this also happened a ton in our SUV too, so the net conclusion is that people are just brain dead friggin idiots!
My favorite here was the Lexus SUV. They didn’t really “stop”, they stopped on the wrong side of the damned road in the oncoming lane, then they “looked without seeing” and pulled out right in front of me (my lights were on) and also pulled out into the oncoming lane!!! I’ve been coming the other direction when people have done this, and have had to full stop for that too! What on earth are these people thinking? They act like they’re the only ones that could possibly be on the road in a very jam-packed high density area!
In the last one, was this yet another case of “looking but not seeing” and they were just going to pull out in front of me? Or did they see me and weren’t going to pull out, but were just slow rolling (poor form) and too lazy or inattentive to actually stop? When you’ve had a gazillion people pull out right in front of you, how do you tell the difference? It looked to me like they were starting to accelerate! Then I get these idiots waving at me when I slam on my brakes. Maybe you should just fucking STOP?
“
When he is saying fucking idiots, the pedestrian is moving slower, and then begins walking just as he passes. He is loaded with coverage.
If you are under, the timing of them hitting the intersection just as he gets there is exactly what it looks like. My guess would be they are trying to slow him down for some reason.
Excellent catch.
