2/1/25 HAPPY ST. BRIGIT’S DAY
The Historic Beginnings of St. Brigid’s Fire
My Fire Quest Journey and the Source of Jazz from Ireland
Visit St. Brigit’s Cathedral and St. Brigit’s ancient Fire House.
Meet Sister Mary leader of the Brigidine Sisters and learn about the Nuns of St. Brigid. You will also and learn where the Sacred Fire is located now that burns once again for all eternity.
The Goddess Religion History – “St. Bridget was the founder of the first monastery in Ireland at the end of the 5th century where this college treated language and literacy as a gift from the Goddess.
When she died her body was interred at her church in Kildare, where her memory was honored by keeping a fire forever burning. Hence the church was known as the House of Fire, until in 1220 the Archbishop of Dublin, “to take away all occasion of superstition,” ordered the fire to be extinguished. Bridget’s Fire was not extinguished.
Her sacred fire is held within the spoken and written Irish word Teas (jass), meaning in English, heat, excitement, vigor, and the passion of high spirits. St. Brigid’s Teas.”

Many Religions still have Residual Fire Rituals in use today.

Happy Black History Month!
Black history is American history—and Black History Month is a time of celebrating the victories and steadfast resilience of generations of Black Americans who’ve accomplished incredible feats and bent the arc of the moral universe.
Black History in 2025. We honor those great men and women before us who accomplished great things not because they were Black but in spite of being Black. We shall continue to overcome. Happy Black History Month.

Elon Musk is taking control of the inner workings of US government agencies… without an FBI background check, security clearance, or Senate confirmation. Unelected billionaire Elon Musk continues to expand his power grab, and this time he wants Americans’ most sensitive information, including their Social Security numbers and banking information. Musk’s cronies took control and LOCKED access to the database of Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of govt workers. Who is he going to give data to?
We should END MUSK stop him immediately.

“They want you to panic, but President Trump wants you to remember Jesus didn’t have electricity either and he did just fine,” Leavitt said.’

FBI AGENTS ASSOCIATION SUPPORTED TRUMP then
IS SHOCKED JUST SHOCKED when TRUMP STARTS FIRING THEM.
@Tom_Winter
“If true, these outrageous actions by acting officials are fundamentally at odds with the law enforcement objectives outlined by President Trump and his support for FBI Agents. Dismissing potentially hundreds of Agents would severely weaken the Bureau’s ability to protect the country from national security and criminal threats and will ultimately risk setting up the Bureau and its new leadership for failure. These actions also contradict the commitments that Attorney General-nominee Pam Bondi and Director-nominee Kash Patel made during their nomination hearings before the United States Senate. They also run counter to the commitment that Director-nominee Patel made to the FBI Agents Association, where during our meeting he said that Agents would be afforded appropriate process and review and not face retribution based solely on the cases to which they were assigned.”
Lying to FBI Agents GETS YOU
20 Years in prison right ???????

Does the FBI Agents Association realize now that Kash Patel and Kim Bondi weren’t being honest, truthful OR forthright with the agency? The Senate should immediately put a hold on Kash Patel’s nomination. He obviously lied to them about what he’s planning and should be held accountable.

HASN’T THIS IDIOT REPUBLICAN LEARNED HER LESSON?
@SenatorCollins
The Maine economy is integrated with Canada, our most important trading partner. Certain tariffs will impose a significant burden on many families, manufacturers, the forest products industry, small businesses, lobstermen, and agricultural producers.
COLLINS: For example, 95 percent of the heating oil used by most Mainers to heat their homes comes from refineries in Canada. The Air National Guard Base in Bangor depends completely on jet fuel and diesel from Canada. From fisheries to potato farmers to paper mills, these tariffs will have a significant impact on Maine’s economy and risk increasing costs for our residents. I am working with the Trump Administration to help its officials better understand the potential ramifications of certain tariffs on Maine and to find out more about their implementation, scope, duration, and other important information, including any exemptions they may make for northern border states, certain industries, agricultural producers, and others who rely on trade with Canada.
Maybe it’s time to fire millions of cops. They all supported a criminal to be president.
Fact: Trump and his entire circle are drug addicts connected to transnational organized crime.
The Philadelphia Inquirer @PhillyInquirer
Larry Krasner says local officials don’t have to comply with the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. The Philly DA, soon expected to announce his campaign for reelection, said his office won’t interfere in legal actions taken by ICE. But if agents act beyond their legal scope or bring harm to immigrants, he said, “Try me.”
Project 2025 is a must-read for everyone.
Trump is destroying the economy to create as much mayhem as possible, so he can invoke the Insurrection Act. It’s their sick, twisted plan to privatize everything for THEIR benefit, and to takeover this side of the globe, from Mexico to Greenland.

Bombing brown people is Republicans’ second favorite thing to do. Their favorite thing to do is crashing the economy and looting the treasury.
We spent 738 billion dollars on defense in 2020 and the Capitol building was taken in 10 minutes by Duck Dynasty and a guy in a deerskin bikini.
There is no way the Trump presidency’s policies are economically sustainable for 4 years. What you are seeing is a clearly planned agenda to destroy the USA as a country and as a world leader. After Trump, no one will trust in the USA ever again. Blue states need to secede, fast.
@P_Kallioniemi
It’s time to face the facts: Trump is willing to abandon all Western allies to build the dystopian, xenophobic society envisioned by billionaire broligarchs like Thiel, Musk, and Sacks. He doesn’t care what happens to NATO or Ukraine—and he probably hopes for bad times in the EU.

Stephen Ehrlich argued
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.255899/gov.uscourts.dcd.255899.18.0.pdf
that confiscating $50,000 from a small business did not infringe the business’ right to private property because money is not property.
The DOJ just argued that your money isn’t actually property—so the government can take it at will. If that sounds insane, it’s because it is. A federal court will decide if this madness stands.
https://reason.com/2025/01/31/the-government-says-money-isnt-property-so-it-can-take-yours/
This is real, and it is horrifying. But it also lays bare how the government actually sees fiat: chips in a casino they control, and they get to decide whether you can spend it, or in this case, KEEP IT.
“The DOJ gave three rationales for the argument:
(1) the government creates money, so you can’t own it;
(2) the government can tax your money, so you don’t own it; and
(3) the Constitution allows the government to spend money for the “general welfare.””
Government lawyers violate FRCP 11 with impunity. The argument is frivolous on its face.
Currency is an asset in the hands of the bearer and a liability of the Federal Reserve.
Money in bank deposits is an asset of the account holder.
Assets are certainly property.
This kind of absurdity happens when Americans allow a rouge administration into power.
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless.” – Thomas Jefferson

HOW CIVIL WARS START: Here’s the background on what’s happening in the Trump administration right now.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1884649571864756351.html
This is the biggest development since the 2020 coup.
8. But this is not simple political warfare.
This is an intra-elite conflict over control of state resources and cultural institutions. There will be a winner and a loser. This is critical because intra-elite conflict historically leads to civil war and state breakdown. https://x.com/grayzoneintel/status/1884649583545888849/photo/1
9. Intra-elite conflict is seen in the lead up to the French Revolution and English Civil War, where the counter-elite faction attacks the elite’s monopoly on power.
It’s also seen prior to fragmentation in the late Roman Republic and inter-war Weimar Germany.
10. If the Trump administration is successful, then progressive NGOs will see a reduction in employment, organizing capability, and influence-building through social services.
This is an existential crisis for establishment elites. These are the roots of their power + influence
It only took Hitler 57 days (from January to March 1933) to destroy the democratic institutions of the Weimar Republic, setting the stage for the authoritarian Nazi regime that would last until the end of World War II.

What is amazing is that during the hearings, and/or courtesy calls, Senators and the FBI Agents Association actually believed the nominees when they said nothing like this would occur. Really, the naivete’, sane washing and wishful thinking was epic. How is anyone surprised now?

Basically the new administration wants as many Government employees gone so they can pay new employees lower wages, get rid of Black employees, and force new hires to sign some loyalty to Trump crap. Do not quit your jobs Federal employees. Your jobs are guaranteed. You have job security after so many years. Federal employment is not Twitter. Add the resignation monies have not been approved so quit at your own risk.
