NO MORE BULL MOOSES
1912 cartoon lampooning TR going left
On Saturday (1/23), WaPo joined in spreading the rumor that POTUS was going to start a third political party:
“In recent weeks, Trump has entertained the idea of creating a third party, called the Patriot Party, and instructed his aides to prepare election challenges to lawmakers who crossed him in the final weeks in office.”
This is the most catastrophically bad idea in over 100 years. Here’s why.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE COMING CRACKDOWN
I recently received an e-mail from a reader of my latest book, Live Not By Lies, who said that the book was saying exactly what needed to be said right now, in this extraordinary moment for traditional Christians and political conservatives.
I would have normally thanked him, and let that be that, but this was no ordinary reader. This was from an experienced military intelligence officer, now retired.
He knows what he’s talking about. He’s also a practicing Orthodox Christian, husband, and father to 5 children, and describes himself as “an ardent supporter of data privacy and preserving our Constitutional freedoms.” Here is his warning to all of us.
THE MONSTER OF SEFAR
Charlatans like Erich von Daniken convinced many gullible readers of his books this “monster” was of an alien in a space suit. Real archaeologists know it’s of an ancient tribal shaman, to be found among the greatest profusion of prehistoric rock art on earth over 10,000 years old in a remote plateau of the Algerian Sahara called the Tassili n’Ajjer.
There are no roads – you must climb up here with pack mules carrying your supplies. No one lives up here, it’s uninhabited. You’ll be among spectacularly gigantic rock formations with over 300 huge natural rock arches, so geologically unique it seems unworldly. In the center of Tassili n’Ajjer known as the Tadrart is a vastly deep gorge, like a knife sliced open the mountain. Clamber down to the bottom and you will discover a forest of 2,000 year-old Saharan cypress trees – yes, a forest in the Sahara, remnants of when the Sahara was green millennia ago.

OAMU – A FIELD MANUAL ON ORGANIZING A MASS UPRISING II
Chapter Two: Recruitment
One person can start the work of creating a local activist organization.
A person who does this work by our method will be called, with respect for tradition, a field secretary -- because that is the title used by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
Recruiting in a Nutshell.
Field secretaries can perhaps be best described as expert specialists in startups. Their main job as the instigators of an uprising is to go into a community (or campus), find the right people, and get them talking together in a meeting.
THE LEG ROWERS OF INLE LAKE
The men of the Intha people living on Inle Lake in Burma have a unique way to fish. Using their large conical nets, they row by standing on one leg on the prow of their canoe, and paddle with their other leg. They feed their families this way. Burma (Myanmar) is one of the most picturesque, historical, and serene places on earth. We’ll be there again next February. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #27 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
KEEPING YOUR SANITY II
We all know why – because if you don’t have oxygen you’ll go unconscious and can’t help anyone; in fact, you’ll hurt them, especially your children, as now they’ll go unconscious too.
This has become so much of a metaphor now there are several self-help books on Amazon with the same title: Put Your Own Oxygen Mask On First.
You have to be fit and prepared, mentally, physically, and spiritually for such a date with destiny. Last week was a mental preparation, that of living in gratitude for the blessings of your existence. This week we’re going to get physical.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY – QARI BABA
Afghanistan, 1984. Yes, that’s me with the legendary Qari Baba, Commander of the Harakat Mujahaddin waging a war of liberation against the Red Army of the Soviet Union – and my dear friend. I told him he looked like a combination of Genghiz Khan and Buddha, and he couldn’t stop laughing. We had so many extraordinary experiences together – like blowing up the Soviet High Command of Bala Hissar in Ghazni.
After the war was won with the final Soviet retreat in February, 1989, Qari Baba became the Governor of Ghazi Province. Then Pakistani Intelligence (ISI) created the Taliban to seize control of the country. Qari Baba had to take up arms anew against them. In March of 2006, he was assassinated by a Taliban hit team on orders from the ISI. I will never ever forget him. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #111 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
HALF-FULL REPORT 01/22/21
And not just goofy, kooky, plain weirdo nuts – but pathologically evil nuts, full-scale, full-bore Orwellian evil nuts. It’s one of those dystopian movies portraying the future as Hell on Earth, Orwell’s Future in 1984, actually coming true for real.
You go to bed at night thinking, “How could this have happened to America – America! Not some Third World banana tyranny, but the Land of the Free, the freest in history. How could the American people have done this to themselves, allowed this to happen?”
You wake up the next morning after a troubled sleep thinking, “What a terrible nightmare about America I just had… no, wait… the nightmare is reality…”
Then you realize the nightmare began only day before yesterday, the Day of Infamy, and is going to continue day after day after day for year after year after year.
Keep doing this and you’ll soon go totally nuts yourself. So here’s what to do.
WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
How pathetic can you get? Faux-inauguration 2021
[Notice: TTP does not recognize the legitimacy of the Chicom puppet illegally occupying the White House. Henceforth, every TTP article will refer to this individual as FPX – Fake President Xiden.]
As I grabbed some coffee before heading to the Capitol Building to watch the faux-inauguration of the faux-president, the lovely lady behind the counter told me she had never seen anything like this in D.C. in her life.
And all I can say as I stand here now in the freezing cold with a handful of others is that I hope America never has to see anything like this again. Nothing is as it seems. It is just horrible, in every sense.
There is no one here. What I mean is that there is literally no one here. Even pressed up to the gates within sight of the Capitol Building there is barely a handful of FPX supporters. And he supposedly got 81 million votes? If you believe that, do I have a great London Bridge deal for you.
