Was Moses High on Psychedelics When He "Talked to God?" - Acacia Trees Have DMT (Ayahuasca) and The ARK of the Covenant was Made of Acacia!

Was Moses high on Mount Sinai? The biblical Israelites may have been high on a hallucinogenic plant when Moses brought the Ten Commandments down from Mount Sinai, according to a new study by an Israeli psychology professor.

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23468364

“In advanced forms of ayahuasca inebriation, the seeing of light is accompanied by profound religious and spiritual feelings,” Shanon wrote. “On such occasions, one often feels that in seeing the light, one is encountering the ground of all Being ... many identify this power as God.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ark_of_the_Covenant

According to the Book of Exodus, God instructed Moses to build the Ark during his 40-day stay upon Mount Sinai. He was shown the pattern for the tabernacle and furnishings of the Ark, and told that it would be made of shittim wood (also known as acacia wood) to house the Tablets of Stone. Moses instructed Bezalel and Aholiab to construct the Ark.

Moses saw God 'because he was stoned - again'

The Bible tells us that when the Children of Israel left Egypt, they had a 40-year trip through the desert before reaching the Promised Land. Now a leading Israeli academic has a new theory about exactly what kind of trip it was.

In the philosophy journal Time and Mind, Benny Shanon states that key events of the Old Testament are actually records of visions by ancient Israelites high on hallucinogens.

The psychedelic substance is a drink called Ayahuasca. It is extracted from plants that grow in the Holy Land and in the Sinai peninsula and is still used today by Amazonians in Brazil for their religious rituals.

Critical Thinking 101:

Today’s Lesson, Internet conspiracy theories and kernels of truth.

Modern Internet conspiracy theories fall into three broad types.

1: Absolute batshit, usually begun as trolling to make fun of older conspiracy theories, taken unironically by morons who ran with it:

Eg., Flat Earth, Birds aren’t real, Reptilian shapeshifters, “Big Mike”

2: Possible, generally considered pseudoscience due to the inability to falsify or reliably apply the Scientific Method to test:

Eg., Simulation theory, Ancient Aliens, Demons, Djinn, ghosts, psychic phenomenon, alien abductions, crop circles, Big Foot

3. Malicious government / corporate action and false flags:

There is usually a huge kernel of truth tor these. Often times they are eventually admitted to as classified documents are finally released or the info is made public for some reason.

Yet the entire time it’s being covered up, people spreading the word about them are vilified as kooks and “conspiracy theorists” and once admitted to, they are never apologized to and continually gaslit by “this has always been known” and “this is no big deal because [reasons].”

Until they are admitted to, however, the theories as to why and how run wild and can be as ludicrous as entries from #1

Eg admitted to, CIA involvement in JFK assassination, UFOs (now called AUP), Operation Paperclip, Operation Mockingbird, MK Ultra, Tuskegee experiments, Gulf of Tonkin was a false flag, Operation Northwoods, test results from Covid Vaccines (originally slated to be classified for 75 years), Operation Fast & Furious, Iran-Contra, FBI Plot to kidnap Gov Whitmer, Bilderberg group, NSA (one derided references to as No Such Agency), US Surveillance State (scope revealed by Snowden)

Eg highly likely to follow suit, 9/11 false flag, OKC false flag, Jan 6 false flag, Covid-19 developed in Wuhan lab and deliberately released, Voter fraud, wildfires deliberately set, Bin Laden capture faked.

Evidence abounds for all of these, yet no “smoking guns”. However, the tiniest amount of questioning exposes huge Swiss cheese holes in the official narratives that can’t possibly hold up to logical scrutiny.

Attempts to debunk basically consist of 15 “Appeal to Authority” fallacies followed by “…and besides, they said that about [other topic on this list] as well.” Duh!

Happy Bicycle Day! 

On 19 April 1943, Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann tested the LSD he had invented, then felt the effects riding his bicycle...

There are two things that we can draw a direct line to that changed our lives forever as teenagers! They are still part of our life everyday!!
1. LSD
2. Grateful Dead
It’s also safe to say for us at least that without LSD and the acid test we wouldn’t have The Warlocks and thus maybe never having The Grateful Dead!! So we are eternally Grateful for Albert Hofmann!!
Happy Bicycle Day everyone! We know many of you feel the same way!!
Some words below we LOVE from Albert below.
“LSD wanted to tell me something. ... It gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation.”
— Albert Hofmann
Also some notes from Albert Hofmann on his LSD trip on 4/19/43
“Beginning dizziness, feeling of anxiety, visual distortions, symptoms of paralysis, desire to laugh.”
“Everything in my field of vision wavered and was distorted as if seen in a curved mirror. I also had the sensation of being unable to move from the spot. Nevertheless, my assistant later told me that we had traveled very rapidly. Finally, we arrived at home safe and sound, and I was just barely capable of asking my companion to summon our family doctor and request milk from the neighbors.”
— Albert Hofmann

Happy Bicycle Day!!!

"This was, altogether, a remarkable experience—both in its sudden onset and its extraordinary course. It seemed to have resulted from some external toxic influence; I surmised a connection with the substance I had been working with at the time, lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate. But this led to another question: how had I managed to absorb this material? Because of the known toxicity of ergot substances, I always maintained meticulously neat work habits. Possibly a bit of the LSD solution had contacted my fingertips during crystallization, and a trace of the substance was absorbed through the skin. If LSD-25 had indeed been the cause of this bizarre experience, then it must be a substance of extraordinary potency. There seemed to be only one way of getting to the bottom of this. I decided on a self-experiment.
Exercising extreme caution, I began the planned series of experiments with the smallest quantity that could be expected to produce some effect, considering the activity of the ergot alkaloids known at the time: namely, 0.25 mg (mg = milligram = one thousandth of a gram) of lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate. Quoted below is the entry for this experiment in my laboratory journal of April 19, 1943.

Self-Experiments

4/19/43 16:20: 0.5 cc of 1/2 promil aqueous solution of diethylamide tartrate orally = 0.25 mg tartrate. Taken diluted with about 10 cc water. Tasteless.

17:00: Beginning dizziness, feeling of anxiety, visual distortions, symptoms of paralysis, desire to laugh.

Supplement of 4/21: Home by bicycle. From 18:00- ca.20:00 most severe crisis. (See special report.)

Here the notes in my laboratory journal cease. I was able to write the last words only with great effort. By now it was already clear to me that LSD had been the cause of the remarkable experience of the previous Friday, for the altered perceptions were of the same type as before, only much more intense. I had to struggle to speak intelligibly. I asked my laboratory assistant, who was informed of the self-experiment, to escort me home. We went by bicycle, no automobile being available because of wartime restrictions on their use. On the way home, my condition began to assume threatening forms. Everything in my field of vision wavered and was distorted as if seen in a curved mirror. I also had the sensation of being unable to move from the spot. Nevertheless, my assistant later told me that we had traveled very rapidly. Finally, we arrived at home safe and sound, and I was just barely capable of asking my companion to summon our family doctor and request milk from the neighbors.

In spite of my delirious, bewildered condition, I had brief periods of clear and effective thinking—and chose milk as a nonspecific antidote for poisoning.

The dizziness and sensation of fainting became so strong at times that I could no longer hold myself erect, and had to lie down on a sofa. My surroundings had now transformed themselves in more terrifying ways. Everything in the room spun around, and the familiar objects and pieces of furniture assumed grotesque, threatening forms. They were in continuous motion, animated, as if driven by an inner restlessness. The lady next door, whom I scarcely recognized, brought me milk—in the course of the evening I drank more than two liters. She was no longer Mrs. R., but rather a malevolent, insidious witch with a colored mask.

Even worse than these demonic transformations of the outer world, were the alterations that I perceived in myself, in my inner being. Every exertion of my will, every attempt to put an end to the disintegration of the outer world and the dissolution of my ego, seemed to be wasted effort. A demon had invaded me, had taken possession of my body, mind,and soul. I jumped up and screamed, trying to free myself from him, but then sank down again and lay helpless on the sofa. The substance, with which I had wanted to experiment, had vanquished me. It was the demon that scornfully triumphed over my will. I was seized by the dreadful fear of going insane. I was taken to another world, another place, another time. My body seemed to be without sensation, lifeless, strange. Was I dying? Was this the transition? At times I believed myself to be outside my body, and then perceived clearly, as an outside observer, the complete tragedy of my situation. I had not even taken leave of my family (my wife, with our three children had traveled that day to visit her parents, in Lucerne). Would they ever understand that I had not experimented thoughtlessly, irresponsibly, but rather with the utmost caution, an-d that such a result was in no way foreseeable? My fear and despair intensified, not only because a young family should lose its father, but also because I dreaded leaving my chemical research work, which meant so much to me, unfinished in the midst of fruitful, promising development. Another reflection took shape, an idea full of bitter irony: if I was now forced to leave this world prematurely, it was because of this Iysergic acid diethylamide that I myself had brought forth into the world.

By the time the doctor arrived, the climax of my despondent condition had already passed. My laboratory assistant informed him about my self-experiment, as I myself was not yet able to formulate a coherent sentence. He shook his head in perplexity, after my attempts to describe the mortal danger that threatened my body. He could detect no abnormal symptoms other than extremely dilated pupils. Pulse, blood pressure, breathing were all normal. He saw no reason to prescribe any medication. Instead he conveyed me to my bed and stood watch over me. Slowly I came back from a weird, unfamiliar world to reassuring everyday reality. The horror softened and gave way to a feeling of good fortune and gratitude, the more normal perceptions and thoughts returned, and I became more confident that the danger of insanity was conclusively past.

Now, little by little I could begin to enjoy the unprecedented colors and plays of shapes that persisted behind my closed eyes. Kaleidoscopic, fantastic images surged in on me, alternating, variegated, opening and then closing themselves in circles and spirals, exploding in colored fountains, rearranging and hybridizing themselves in constant flux. It was particularly remarkable how every acoustic perception, such as the sound of a door handle or a passing automobile, became transformed into optical perceptions. Every sound generated a vividly changing image, with its own consistent form and color.

Late in the evening my wife returned from Lucerne. Someone had informed her by telephone that I was suffering a mysterious breakdown. She had returned home at once, leaving the children behind with her parents. By now, I had recovered myself sufficiently to tell her what had happened.

Exhausted, I then slept, to awake next morning refreshed, with a clear head, though still somewhat tired physically. A sensation of well-being and renewed life flowed through me. Breakfast tasted delicious and gave me extraordinary pleasure. When I later walked out into the garden, in which the sun shone now after a spring rain, everything glistened and sparkled in a fresh light. The world was as if newly created. All my senses vibrated in a condition of highest sensitivity, which persisted for the entire day.

This self-experiment showed that LSD-25 behaved as a psychoactive substance with extraordinary properties and potency. There was to my knowledge no other known substance that evoked such profound psychic effects in such extremely low doses, that caused such dramatic changes in human consciousness and our experience of the inner and outer world.

What seemed even more significant was that I could remember the experience of LSD inebriation in every detail. This could only mean that the conscious recording function was not interrupted, even in the climax of the LSD experience, despite the profound breakdown of the normal world view. For the entire duration of the experiment, I had even been aware of participating in an experiment, but despite this recognition of my condition, I could not, with every exertion of my will, shake off the LSD world. Everything was experienced as completely real, as alarming reality; alarming, because the picture of the other, familiar everyday reality was still fully preserved in the memory for comparison.

Another surprising aspect of LSD was its ability to produce such a far-reaching, powerful state of inebriation without leaving a hangover. Quite the contrary, on the day after the LSD experiment I felt myself to be, as already described, in excellent physical and mental condition.

I was aware that LSD, a new active compound with such properties, would have to be of use in pharmacology, in neurology, and especially in psychiatry, and that it would attract the interest of concerned specialists. But at that time I had no inkling that the new substance would also come to be used beyond medical science, as an inebriant in the drug scene. Since my self-experiment had revealed LSD in its terrifying, demonic aspect, the last thing I could have expected was that this substance could ever find application as anything approaching a pleasure drug. I failed, moreover, to recognize the meaningful connection between LSD inebriation and spontaneous visionary experience until much later, after further experiments, which were carried out with far lower doses and under different conditions.

The next day I wrote to Professor Stoll the above-mentioned report about my extraordinary experience with LSD-25 and sent a copy to the director of the pharmacological department, Professor Rothlin.
As expected, the first reaction was incredulous astonishment. Instantly a telephone call came from the management; Professor Stoll asked: "Are you certain you made no mistake in the weighing? Is the stated dose really correct?" Professor Rothlin also called, asking the same question. I was certain of this point, for I had executed the weighing and dosage with my own hands. Yet their doubts were justified to some extent, for until then no known substance had displayed even the slightest psychic effect in fraction-of-amilligram doses. An active compound of such potency seemed almost unbelievable.

Professor Rothlin himself and two of his colleagues were the first to repeat my experiment, with only one-third of the dose I had utilized. But even at that level, the effects were still extremely impressive, and quite fantastic. All doubts about the statements in my report were eliminated."

#PsychedelicSynchronicity

Happy Bicycle Day!!!

It's been 81 years since Albert Hofmann first intentionally ingested LSD (April 19, 1943) then famously rode a bicycle home from his lab at Sandoz, while tripping.

Since 1984, April 19th has been celebrated as “Bicycle Day” among pop-culture LSD fans. It was initiated by Thomas B. Roberts, emeritus professor of educational psychology!!!

Alan Piper - It was Professor Tom Roberts who instituted “Bicycle Day” and wrote a short paper:

Why Is Bicycle Day April 19th, not the 16th?

As I recall, I originally wanted to celebrate the 16th, but in 1985 the 16th was midweek and not a good day for a party, and the 19th was on a weekend, so I decided to celebrate the first intentional LSD exposure instead of the first exposure on the 16th. Had the calendar been different the 16th would have been Bicycle Day.

It seems to me that the discovery of LSD deserves 2 dates, so maybe someone will start a Hofmann Day or LSD Discovery Day event.

Some years ago Albert and I corresponded about why I paid attention to the bicycle instead of calling it "LSD Day" or something similar. I told him that the bicycle was a more concrete image than a chemical structure, and in America there is a famous poem that marks the start of our revolution in 1775 that makes a parallel with his ride. It begins:

Twas the eighteenth of April in ‘75

And hardly a man I know alive

Who remembers that famous day and year

And the midnight ride of Paul Revere.

American school children used to memorize this poem. The Hofmann ride and the Revere ride are analogous, each marking the beginning of a new era. To the people invited to my party, the parallels would be naturally apparent. I pointed out that the night of the 18th of April in America would be the early morning of the 19th in Switzerland.

After several years of celebrations, I had Bicycle Day embroidered cloth patches made. The first is 1991.

Of course, I am not saying that no one else might have also celebrated that date, but I made up the name "Bicycle Day" and it seems likely to me others might have preferred the 16th as I did originally.

One of my former students made the announcement letter for the 1993 celebration that I've sent out since them.

That's why the celebration and name got attached to the 19th, not the 16th.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Measures_(film)

Active Measures is a 2018 documentary film by director Jack Bryan.^[2] The documentary centered on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, and looks at the many suspicious links between Trump associates and Russian officials and spies. Additional topics covered included the life of Vladimir Putin, social media manipulation broadly, and the Cambridge Analytica scandal.^[3][4]

"Jack Bryan was your average Upper East Side-raised son of a millionaire trying to get his filmmaking career started when Donald Trump began persistently popping up in his life. In New York City’s social circuit, Bryan’s father, Shelby Bryan—a telecom mogul and Democratic donor—was friendly enough with Trump, perhaps because both are relative outsiders (Bryan being from Texas, and Trump being Trump). On vacation in Palm Beach in 2008, the Bryan family was immersed in the scuttlebutt about how a then financially strapped Trump had curiously managed to sell a Palm Beach estate he’d bought for $41 million to Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million. Around 2012, Shelby Bryan shared a car to the U.S. Open with the real-estate tycoon, after which he told his son, “That guy sure does like Russia.” The elder Bryan (who is also the longtime partner of Condé Nast’s artistic director, Anna Wintour) also brought his sons, Jack and Austin, on a golfing trip to the United Kingdom, where Trump gave them early access to his Trump International Golf Links course in Scotland and chatted with them after their game."

To Jack, Trump registered as a “harmless clown who would appear in the tabloids.” But as Trump’s political ambitions solidified, the younger Bryan began to take notice. A self-described “pragmatic lefty,” he had often texted with his friend and fellow politics junkie Marley Clements about world affairs. When Clements proposed that Russians may have been involved in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee during the summer of 2016, Bryan expressed skeptical interest.

Then, in March 2017, former F.B.I. agent Clint Watts testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee that Trump himself had engaged in “active measures”—a term that describes the Russian propaganda tactic of using disinformation and manipulation of events to promote its foreign policy. That’s when Bryan said to Clements, “Somebody needs to make a film about this.”

Active Measures, a dizzying and rigorously researched documentary, premieres at Toronto’s Hot Docs film festival this week, where C.A.A. is representing the film in its hunt for a distributor. It is 33-year-old Jack Bryan’s effort to connect the dots between Trump and Russia, including Vladimir Putin himself. “I want to alert people, and I knew no one else was going to do it in time for the midterm elections,” he said over beers at Williamsburg’s Radegast Hall recently. “I felt like I could.”

The story of Jack Bryan smacks like fiction. He’s an oddball rich kid, the vulnerable, good-looking scion of a well-connected Manhattan family, who got thrust into radically different circumstances when he used the powers at his disposal—filmmaking and access to friends-and-family financing—to realize the solemn words his father once said to him: “You are going to have advantages, and that means two things: you won’t have any excuses, and you will also have a responsibility to be of service.”

Bryan wrote his first film when he was 16—a fictional piece involving a kidnapping—and took classes at the New York Film Academy. His schooling included stops at Buckley School and the Kent boarding school in Connecticut, from which he dropped out before attending rehab (he said he had depression issues). He finished high school at Montana Academy, a self-described “therapeutic school.” After arriving home to New York to study media and film at the New School at the age of 23, Bryan made a documentary about the seedy, beloved Siberia Bar, landed a job at a production company, and directed two micro-budget indie dramas, one of which had a minor theatrical release in 2015. (The New York Times called it a “ mere genre exercise.”)

He was in pre-production on another small narrative film, this one a 24-hours-in-New-York-wild-ride drama, when he decided to pivot to Active Measures. The filmmaker moved to a friend’s house in Maryland—he called it “the bunker”—where he and Clements spent several weeks studying the evidence, scrawling their ideas on window glass and large sections of cardboard to help envision the web they were trying to connect. Also on the team was Laura DuBois, Bryan’s girlfriend and an experienced producer, whom Bryan calls “the boss of the movie.”

Bryan said that the thesis and main points of Active Measures haven’t changed much since they first sketched it out in the bunker—it’s just that their once apparently too-ludicrous-to-be-real collusion narrative has become more plausible. Audiences will see this in the film’s highlighted news clips and in-depth interviews with respected world leaders, think-tank wonks, former C.I.A. and State Department officials, academics, and Capitol Hill veterans, including Senator John McCain and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton—who provides insight into Putin’s psyche, including a wry aside about the Russian leader’s tendency to manspread.

The Members of the Crew's Inner Circle wish our friends a good evening, and a better tomorrow.

The Crew is about to leave the Political Sandbox when we asked ourselves what makes a person vote for Tr@mp. We typed into Google this very same question, and an article appeared from CBS News dated 8/20/23 that answered some of our questions.

In the Crew's opinion a Tr@mp supporter has been brainwashed to believe in hate, and fear of losing their White Privilege. These individuals have been brainwashed into believing that an Authoritarian Regime is the best choice for them.

The average Tr@mp supporter doesn't realize that they are in a cult, a political system where the members have a religious veneration and devotion directed towards Tr@mp.

They completely believe in Tr@mpism even though it is against their own best interests. Trumpism is the political ideology, social emotions, style of governance, political movement, and set of mechanisms for acquiring and keeping control of power associated with Donald Tr@mp and his political base.

Tr@mp supporters are anti anti, they worship the gospel of hate and fear, and it's their way or the highway.

What it will take to convert a brainwashed Tr@mp supporter the Crew does not have the answer, but we keep on trying. We hope that the reader understands where our Nation is at this moment in time. The Crew will accept no excuses from you, if you don't vote Blue on 11/5/24.

CBS NEWS POLL FINDS TFG BIG LEAD GROWS AS GOP VOTERS DISMISS INDICTMENTS

Well, there's no debate about this: Right now, the Republican Party would easily renominate Donald Trump for 2024. And it's not close.

The former president now holds his largest lead over his rivals in our polling amid his recent legal troubles. In fact, most of his voters cite those troubles as yet one more reason to show him support.

His nearest — but not too near — rival Ron DeSantis has fallen even further back. Everyone else is in single digits.

Trump voters' affinity for him seems to insulate the former president from attacks whether or not he debates this week, because voters basically say they aren't receptive to such criticism.

Instead, a whopping nine in 10 GOP primary voters want the other candidates to focus on making the case for themselves, but not against Trump.

(In interviews conducted before there were reports that Trump has decided to skip the debate, his voters were likelier than others to both say he should participate in the event and that they intend to watch.)

Explaining Trump's dominance post-indictments

First, as was the case with Trump's previous indictments, Republican primary voters' overwhelming concern about the Georgia charges is that they're politically motivated.

They dismiss the premise of the charges: the bulk of them do think Trump tried to stay in office, but to them, it was legal and constitutional because these Republican primary voters overwhelmingly think President Biden didn't win legitimately.

There may be a rally effect: a sizable three-quarters of Trump's voters include those who "show support for his legal troubles" as one rationale, among others, for considering him in the first place.

Second, information in the indictments doesn't have an impact, in part, because they generally believe it's Trump who tells them the truth.

Trump far and away leads the GOP field among voters who place top importance on a candidate being "honest and trustworthy."

The context here is that Republican primary voters believe the political system is corrupt at an even higher rate than Americans overall do. That could mean perceiving Trump as railing against — or prosecuted by — that system might well make him seem, from their perspective, like the one telling a larger truth.

More generally, Trump's voters hold him as a source of true information, even more so than other sources, including conservative media figures, religious leaders, and even their own friends and family.

Third, Trump is seen as getting all the political oxygen in the campaign.

Half the primary electorate says there's been too much coverage of Trump. Clearly, much of that is related to the negative stories about his indictments.

GOP primary voters say they've been hearing Republican candidates talk about Trump-related topics as much as, if not more than, either economic issues more generally or social and cultural issues.

Fourth, Trump "checks the boxes" across all the ways voters generally make choices.

His track record shows that those considering him almost all think things were better in the country under his presidency. And the vast majority say they've "always been a supporter." Together, these appear to contribute to a powerful "incumbency advantage" for Trump.

It could be strategic: Republican voters think Trump has the best shot to beat Mr. Biden — remember, many think he already did. And that's really important to them, outweighing even some disagreements on policy. (Of note: Ron DeSantis has fallen on this electability measure since earlier in the summer, along with his support.)

There's also Trump's personal connection: Almost all his voters say he "fights for people like me."

And then, in particular, a large majority of primary voters would want a candidate similar to Trump, if it were not him. So, they're picking the original, as it were.

So, what can happen at a debate: Is there a way forward for others?

If there is, that path looks pretty narrow. But here's what we see:

Time may help the field. It's early. And voters know it.

For the voters at least actively considering someone else along with Trump, their rationale most often is that they're just keeping their options open. About half of them also say they are "waiting to see the debate." That might be the most hopeful news for those candidates going into the week.

(It is also a reminder that it's another six or seven months before the bulk of voters get to cast ballots.)

A sizable four in 10 of these voters do cite Trump being "controversial" as another reason for considering others, perhaps reflecting uncertainty about what his future holds, and that it's a talking point for other candidates. Comparably few currently say it's because they think Trump could lose to Mr. Biden.

Pocketbook items matter across the electorate.

Republican primary voters and debate watchers want to hear candidate plans for lowering inflation, among other policy goals — especially since most of them think the economy will be in recession next year. (However, partisan lenses deeply color those views.)

But desire to hear about inflation far outranks items like stopping abortions, or putting limits on diversity programs.

And in that vein, strictly anti-Trump sentiment isn't enough to win right now

THE DEVIL TRUMP WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA

(Lyrics)

The devil Trump went down to Georgia

He was lookin' for a vote to steal

He was in a bind

Cause he was way behind

And he was willin' to lie and squeal

When he came across this young lady

Leaning ' over a law book and reading ' it hot

And Trump jumped

Up on a hickory stump

And said girl let me tell you what

I guess you didn't know it

But I'm a lawyer too

And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you

Now you play a pretty good jury, girl

But give the devil Trump his due

I'll bet an election of lies

Against your soul

Cause I think I'm better than you

The girl said my name's Fani

And it might be a sin

But I'll take your bet

And you're gonna regret

Cause I'm the best there's ever been

The devil Trump opened up his call

And he said I'll start this show

And fire flew from his lips

As he started down the road to his fall

When the devil finished

Fani said well you're pretty good old son

Just sit down in that wittiness chair right there

And let me show you how it's done

She played, Felony committed by Trump

And I can prove it too, go irl go

Trumps in prison in the Atlanta Sun

Chickenshit caught in a crime, picken' out dough

Giuliani does your boy bite

Damn right bro

The devil Trump bowed his head

Because he knew that he'd been beat

And he laid that worthless scam

On the ground at Fani’s feet

Fani said, Trump just spend 5 years in the pen

If you ever want to try again

I done told you once you son of a bitch

I'm the best there's ever been

These IDIOTIC TRUMP SUPPORTERS are so STUPID, so mixed up by all the misinformation they hear, that they can't even organize a rally without having doubts about its authenticity:

"On both Truth Social and X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly known as Twitter, conservative users worried that undercover law enforcement officials and antifa activists were behind the rally, planning to use it as a "setup" to arrest Trump supporters.

"Watch out for the FBI and antifa/blm to stir up a riot," a social media user with the display name "Ultra Maga" wrote.

"Be careful, it could be a setup just like the J6," another user wrote. "Watch out for FBI plants," echoed another user. "They can play havoc with your peaceful plans." The social media posts were highlighted by Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan research organization."
