There will be no broadcast of The Word From the Trenches Thursday and Friday because my grandchildren get to choose who babysits them when their parents go out of town.  They choose grandma and grandpa because they believe they are the babysitters and they run the show.

We will be back on Monday.  Have a great weekend and thank you for understanding.

Yesterday, the first Presidential Alert was sent to phones all across the country. Theories and screenshots took over the internet shortly thereafter.

But one of these theories, in particular, comes from a source that is especially credible with regard to cybersecurity: John McAfee.   Continue reading “Check Out John McAfee’s (Educated) Warning About The Dark Side of That Presidential Alert Sent to Your Phone”

More than 754,700 immigrants became U.S. citizens during President Donald Trump’s second year in office, the highest number since 2013—and the vast majority of them come from just three countries, Mexico, India, and China.

According to a spokesman for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) quoted by the SFGate news service, the latest figures “followed slumping citizenship numbers during fiscal 2017, a period that includes the president’s first nine months in office, and mounting frustration from advocates who fear that the government’s ‘extreme vetting’ will prevent people from becoming citizens in time to vote in the November midterms.”  Continue reading “US Gains 754,700 New Citizens in 2017—Majority from Mexico, India, and China”

The New York Times is reporting that 80,000 Americans died of the flu last winter and that it’s the highest death toll yet. Scary articles like these are thinly veiled attempts to push Americans into the vaccine regime (get your flu shots or your going to die!) out of fear, panic, and hysteria. Maybe it is the highest death toll yet, however, there is more than meets the eye.

The Big Pharma-media-government conglomerate has a lot staked in keeping you unwell, scared and dependent. Frightened, self-doubting, and unhealthy people are much easier to control.   Continue reading “Did 80,000 Americans REALLY Die From the Flu or Is This Big Pharma Propaganda to Push the Flu Shot?”

So guess what?  Our internet went down again, so I guess I’m going to have to do a little conveyance via the written word.  (We can continue posting articles using our mobile wi-fi, we just can’t run the broadcast computer on it.)

We’ve got these son of a bitches on the ropes and they know it.  This is why you are having the emergency alerts on your cell phones and the talk of a declaration of martial law.

The government’s only authority is within the confines of the government, applying the tiny little bit of authority we granted.    Continue reading “Trencher Alert”
