January 6 Committee Calls Bluff of Key Witness
July 21, 2022 at 11:16 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 1 Comment

The January 6 Committee subpoena of Phil Waldron, the retired colonel who was working with Donald Trump’s outside lawyers to overturn the 2020 presidential election, seeks some interesting information:

“All documents supporting the claim that Italian satellites were used to hack voting systems…”
“All documents supporting the claim that voting machines were manipulated through the use of smart thermostats controlled by the Chinese government…”

You see why our communities are degrading? Tne retired officers who live in our communities take positions of leadership and continually walk us down a rabbit hole. I have yet to meet one who tries to sort things out based on civil law.

All it takes is numbingly face value acceptance of obvious lunacy/fallacy and a dimwitted vileness of character. Some mistake it for determination or patriotism. In other words, too many of our military "leaders" are obviously born followers who naturally gravitate to political "strongmen".

No, a "red flag" system will not work because the flagmen are loons as well. Lifer loons, has a certain ring to it.

Does anyone think our military command personnel would function commensurately better than their Russian counterparts? Would they have thrown the brakes on a venture such as Putin's invasion of The Ukraine? Would they have refused to throw their men into such a suicidally costly battle for the whim of a politician?
Frankly, to a great extent, I do, but those sane ones are NOT the unanimity. Political leaders who are also, by constitutional decree, commanders in chief, can choose the military commanders they like. I do not, however, think the US military is capable of defending itself or the constitution from grossly tragic and lethal misbehavior among its own ranks if the CIC orders such misbehavior.

in questioning what the hell is "oozing through our ground".

Funny how they never believe the evidence that it's lead, or mercury, or any of ten thousand toxic compounds industrialization has for generations dumped into our ecosystem.

A populace dumbed down by ingesting poison sure ain't gonna help us get out of this crisis.

for the pleasure of going out with a lawnmower in triple digit heat.

We get water quality reports here. Our aquifer is a mile down and there are all sorts of heavy metals in it, including arsenic. I live in the part of town with the lowest levels, and I strongly suspect this facility* uses reverse osmosis, the water's not nearly as hard as the stuff at mt house, 6 blocks away, Dr Bronner's actually sudses up here.

I think most places issue water quality statements unless this ole gal is using well water.


*Independent living facility, I just moved last month, it's a little fancee for my taste but it's still in the neighborhood.

The lack of intelligence and critical thinking skills is astounding and very sad.

By what mechanism, mechanical, electronic, electromagnetic or other, can a thermostat tap into a voting machine? By what what mechanism, mechanical, electronic or electromagnetic, can an Italian satellite effect a voting machine? Who set it up? For what purpose?

If such capability actually was built into a thermostat or satellite (assuming the voting machines were capable of receiving signals from unintended sources) wouldn't workers at the factories that made them find out about it?

She didn't even know they were on there!

You should have seen the look on her face when I showed them to her! She was mortified!

Then she remembered the thermostat thing and that cleared up the mystery.

She told me she would contact the company and raise hell.

They have sponsored Waldron in his appearances around the state where he shows his PowerPoint presentation.
