David Icke 1998 Predictions — This video by former British spots personality David Icke is from 1998. He hits the nail pretty hard on the head. It’s almost enough to make one believe in extraterrestrial reptilian shape-shifters.

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit quote puzzle: For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to the one who possesses it.
Ecclesiastes 7:12
Prodigal Son And God’s Mercy — All that God looks for from us is the slightest opening and He forgives a multitude of sins.
There were two brothers, they divided their father’s goods between them. One stayed home while the other went to a foreign country, wasted all he had been given and then could not bear the shame of his poverty. The son who went away represents those who fall after baptism. This is clear from the fact that he is called a son, since no one is called a son unless he is baptized. Also, he lived in his father’s house and took a share of all his father’s goods. Before baptism, no one receives the Father’s goods or enters upon the inheritance. We can therefore take all this as signifying the state of believers.
What does he say after falling into the depths of evil? I will return to my father. The reason the father let him go and did not prevent his departure for a foreign land was so that he might learn well by experience what good things are enjoyed by the one who stays home. For when words not convince us, God often leaves us to learn from the things that happen to us. When the dissolute returned after going to a foreign country and finding out by experience what a great sin it is to leave the father’s house, the father did not remember past injuries but welcomed him with open arms. Why? Because he was a father and not a judge. And there were dances and festivities and banquets and the whole house was full of joy and gladness.
Are you asking, “Is this what he gets for his wickedness?” Not for his wickedness but for his return home; not for sin, but for repentance; not for evil, but for being converted. What is more, when the elder son was angry at this the father gently won him over saying: You were always with me, but he was lost and has been found; he was dead and has come back to life.
“When someone who was lost has to be saved it is not the time for passing judgment but only for mercy and forgiveness,” said the father.

Potty Mouth Books In Penn Delco Pa — The libraries at Sun Valley High School and Northley Middle School are carrying books with pretty filthy language such as this one. Really it’s pretty filthy so you were warned if you click on the link. Scroll down to see the content.
Needless to say the Penn Delco School Board and the administration are ignoring the concerns of parents learning about it.
This bunch likely feels they are being heroically edgy standing up to ignorant, repressed church ladies when they tut-tut away a concerned mother.
They are not heroic, they are not edgy — this stuff only makes them more likely to get praise in the mass media — and they are far more ignorant, and probably more repressed, than the moms.
And it’s not banning to leave a book off a shelf. Do the libraries have a Chilton’s repair manual for a 1970 Ford Maverick? Guess they are banning that one too.
How about Donald Trump’s Art of the Deal? Now, that would be edgy to carry.
There is nothing wrong with a school library being a dull place filled with reference material, albeit do schools even need places anymore to store reference material?
That basically means we don’t need school libraries. We’d save a lot of money getting rid of them.
Frankly, it’s looking like we don’t even need public schools anymore. A voucher system would sure give the moms a chance to fire tut-tutting superintendents.
By the way, Penn Delco parents were you aware than any boy can now enter your daughter’s bathroom in the district if he says he’s feeling a little feminine?
Lisa Esler, maybe the district’s only sane school director, explains it here.
PFIR Becoming Institute For Sound Public Policy — Progressives for Immigration Reform (PFIR) announced its name change to the Institute for Sound Public Policy (IfSPP), Feb. 34. The new name signals the organization’s broader vision and expanded mission to advocate for national policies that prioritize the security and well-being of U.S. citizens in a world where roughly 5 billion people live on less than $10 per day.
“2023 marks a sea change. Our repositioning as the Institute for Sound Public Policy will enable us to reach out and earn the moral and financial support of those who feel the pressures of the global billions.” said Kevin Lynn, executive director of the Institute for Sound Public Policy.
“For the past 15 years Progressives for Immigration Reform has identified numerous ways in which the inadequacy and abuse of immigration policy has destroyed livelihoods and diminished the overall quality of life in the U.S. Today as the Institute for Sound Public Policy we expand beyond the adverse effects of unbridled human capital to address other essential factors and the root cause crippling our nation: globalist policies and neoliberal ideologies that pursue the unrestricted flow of capital, goods, and people.”
Progressives for Immigration Reform will immediately brand itself as the Institute for Sound Public Policy with a new logo, and a new website to be announced mid-March 2023.
It’s existing entities, U.S. Tech Workers, Doctors without Jobs, and Our Carbon Footprint will now operate under The Project for Immigration Reform, a supporting organization to the Institute for Sound Public Policy. The entities will continue to bring attention to the abuse of U.S. employment visa programs, the inequities in the U.S.’ medical residency matching program, and the impact of immigration-fueled population growth on the environment.
During the name change process, the organization’s legal name will remain Progressives for Immigration Reform.

Shapiro Transition Team Revisted –This is old news but let’s revisit, especially concerning our claim about how Democrats now in power are going to ignore the people they wooed to get them there.
The transition team Josh Shapiro formed in December to prep him for governor was nearly 300 people including lobbyists, activists, attorneys, executives, and former elected officials as per the Centre Daily Times.
The Times highlighted: Philadelphia FOP President John McNesby; ; Abolitionist Law Center Executive Director Robert Saleem Holbrook; Cheyney University Chief Diversity Officer Pamela Keye; Susquehanna International Co-Founder Joel Greenberg; Johns Hopkins Medicine professor Ravi Gupta; Former Pennsylvania Republican Party head Val DiGiorgio; Conservation Voters of Pa. political director Katie Blume and Former Pa. Democratic Party head Marcel Groen.
It’s was almost as though they were picked by Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young.
Note our old pal Val as in DiGiorgio was on the list.
And we weren’t the only one.
Since transitioning, Shapiro has named Republican Al Schmidt as Secretary of State and former Montco GOP Boss Mike Vereb as Secretary of Legislative Affairs.
Schmidt was a member of the the Philadelphia Election Board. Write your own joke. Or use this one: We can now be confident all of Pennsylvania’s elections will be as free and fair as those in Philadelphia.
Vereb, well, he was the former chairman of the Montgomery County Republican Committee, and, like DiGiorgio who headed the state and Chesco GOPs ,he wanted Shapiro to win.
Please understand it is not about Republicans vs Democrats anymore. It is about thieves and victims. We victims have to learn to stand together. We have to stop being clipped by six-figure public pensions, inflated construction projects, and officials indifferent to suffering.
And we can do this but only if we boldly call out the crooks and stand together.
George Hill Prison Again Before Council
Max Orenstein formerly of the Delaware County Public Defender’s office, called out County Council, Feb. 1, for dissembling about problems at the county prison, Joy Schwartz tells us.
Orenstein, who helped reduce numbers at the jail during the pandemic, says the numbers have now ballooned despite council’s claims of otherwise.
Orenstein says the inmates are living in sub-human conditions. He urges rejection of the proposed $40 million new juvenile facility and encourages all to resist council propaganda.
How can the George W. Hill Correctional Facility have a net increase in prisoners when the crime rate is down?, he asked.
Guards are also sounding the alarm about things at the prison.
The council heard numerous complaints from environmental activists about the proposed Penn LNG liquid natural gas export terminal proposed for Chester.
We will give our green friends odds this is going to come to pass. The people running things may give caring looks when talking to their faces but they are laughing their asses off at them after they walk away.
Carris Kocher expressed disappointment that council will not respond to questions or engage with constituents, and expressed dissatisfaction with the changes in the code regarding elections, especially the omission of the Return Board report.
She also expressed concerns about ZenCity, the artificial intelligence program council is adopted to assist with (or make?) policy.
Joy also tells us that the Board of Elections failed to give the required three days notice Jan. 24 meeting. They announced it on Jan. 23, she says.
Swarthmore OKs Demolition Of History For Sterile Condos
By Bob Small
Swarthmore Council’s meeting began at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 30 and continued to 2 a.m. the next day.
Although 90 percent of those in attendance at the packed Park Avenue Community Center (PAC) spoke against the demolition of 110 Park Ave. to make way for a multi-floor condo in the heart of Swarthmore, their statements and visual presentations did not sway council’s from approving the demolition by 4-2 vote. One SBC member was absent. The vote closed the meeting by whic h time the original crowd of approximately 100 had dwindled to a hard-core 20.
Most speakers felt that the developers were tearing down a historical building to build an unnecessary condominium. The developers have suggested the project presents a net gain for Swarthmore because it will add both density and “vibrancy” to the town. However this density means more municipal services will be required, possibly leading to higher taxes and more complexity.
Similar benefits were touted touted with the promotion of the Broad Table Tavern whose benefits have been debatable.
The year 2023 is for municipal elections in Pennsylvania, and three of the council seats on Swarthmore Council are up for a vote. If you are interested in becoming a member of council, please consult the county election web site.
Petitions to place independent Democratic, or Republican candidates on the primary ballot will be circulated from Feb. 14 to March 7. Be prepared to collect at least three times the required number of signatures, as the Democratic and Republican “machines” will try to challenge and knock off any independent Democratic or Republican candidates. Also, be prepared to make both friends and enemies.
Swarthmore is a one-horse town and a blue one at that. A tradition has developed that the uncontested primary serves as the general election, as the GOP avoids running candidates, even though each party needs but 10 signatures to place a candidate on the primary ballot.
Maybe there are other boroughs and towns where the elected officials have ignored the public’s wishes. Maybe the public might want to consider “unelecting “ their current officials?
