Assembly Area for Q Tree Outages

I decided it didn’t make sense to have a nine day old daily post be the place to report Q Tree outages.

Chuck Fina and the barbarian monkeys of the CCP.

Buck Fiden and Huck Farris too.

      1. I have refrained from commenting much anymore because in the quest for truth, every word is scrutinized ad nauseam.
        when the final truth is learned, if DePat’s theories are proven, i hope to see apologies.
        today’s conspiracy theories are tomorrow’s truths.

        1. I do hear you on this point. There are things that I thought were incredible in this battle, that turned out to be quite true.

          Bear in mind that nobody has any duty to respond to challenges to their comments. And those who challenge must do so in a civil fashion. So nobody should fear scrutiny, because they have no obligation to address that scrutiny. Just sayin’.

          1. I agree. My initial gut response was, I must have missed the vote for Arbiter of Truth…half joking/half serious. (I am a smartass like my Dad was.)
            so i just decided not to post much anymore.
            we don’t know what we don’t know, until we know it.

            1. Pat, it seems to ebb and flow. Having a certain amount of disagreement seems to be healthy, helps prevent development of echo chamber / group think 👍

              Regardless, the best answer to speech we disagree with is MORE speech 😁

              So I hope to see more of your posts (the more smartass the better, in my book) in the future… not less 👍😁

              I do the same, at least for the funny or non-controversial stuff.

              I do rely on my own red flag / B.S. filter quite a bit, but I usually try to check the controversial stuff, just because I expect to be challenged all the time… and being challenged leads to at least half the fun… probably more 😂

              Same thing on a blog. It’s like Wile E. Coyote vs. Roadrunner.

  1. Copy of a comment I shared at the outage site, hoping you see it…

    Valerie Curren

    Hey Wolf I’m having a problem accessing today’s Health Friday Post, but I don’t know why.

    I can read the main body of the post but cannot like the post, the comments, nor reply to anyone. There is no reply box at the top of the comment section for me to start my own comment thread either. Also all the stuff in the right margin is absent.

    If I go to the home page everything looks normal. I did that & logged out then logged back in with WP but I didn’t have to give my password, which is strange because I’ve never saved it that I know of. Once logged in I get that kind of overview page that includes links to my “recent” Q-Tree drafts. I click on the Friday post & it’s still not working right. I click on the Thursday post & it seems to work normally, as does the home page.

    When I’m on the Friday post the black ribbon at the top has the bottom 10-20% portion missing, the bell doesn’t show, & I don’t think all the icons I can currently see on This Page are visible. Also there is no green comment total ball nor smaller orange ball updating comment totals at the bottom right of the screen view.

    My computer did an update shutdown when I was sleeping & in the reboot I had to sign into WP again for access to my other blog work even though when on the Q-Tree I got “Howdy, Valerie Curren” even on the less functional Friday ribbon.

    Is there something different about Friday’s post that is causing these issues? Is this problem unique to me? Any other steps you know of that I should take to try to fix it? I guess I could force a restart of my computer & see if that works…sigh…

    Sorry to bother you with this trivia & I hope it’s not an issue for anyone else! Blessings 🙂

    For some reason it’s making me sign into WP again to even post this…

      Just sent a comment for The Q Tree main site to post on the main thread today. Posted it from my phone. It’s not showing on the discussion thread ON THE COMPUTER — only on my phone. This situation began around 8:15AM today.

      This situation is going on with both of my computer browsers (Firefox and Google Chrome.)

        My Google Chrome and my Firefox computer browsers don’t show any reply, comment, or anything after our good GA/FL’s video posted at 8:16AM today. On my phone, today’s opener shows 99 comments.

        “Suspicious Dog” thinks — “somebody” has been “monitoring” The Q Tree this week. Perhaps today’s Health Friday opener was an item that was just “one too many” regarding “getting too close to the truth” — and “somebody” sicced a DDOS on the main site.

  6. I’m getting strange Internet issues elsewhere today, too.

    At blu-ray.com, clicking on new releases on the main page takes me to the correct page momentarily, but then the page is redirected to what looks like some scam website that has nothing to do with blu-ray.com

    Just now, I was checking an email from ElusiveDisc (online music store I have done business with for years). Within the body of the email are links to various LPs and CDs they are featuring. I clicked on two different links, and they both took me to web pages that said “Server Error – Something Went Wrong – Please Try Again Later”

    1. Logging out of the blu-ray.com website, and logging back in again, fixed the problem.

      Elusive Disc is working now too.

      And… so is the main Qtree site, as I just checked!

  7. Hi Wolf. I’m getting a security notice for the Q Tree right now:

    “Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

    Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to theqtree.com. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

    It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.”

    I’ll keep trying. Not sure what’s up.

    1. I cannot even log into the U-tree.  It asks for my email and password, then takes me to a second page asking for my screen name (scott467) and password, then it either freezes or says I am not allowed to reply to unapproved posts (I was trying to reply to Aubergine’s post). If anyone receives replies to this email address, I’m having the same problem as Aubergine.  On Brave Browser, I’m getting the following error message:

      net::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID

      http://www.theqtree.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Brave tried to connect to http://www.theqtree.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be http://www.theqtree.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Brave stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

      You cannot visit http://www.theqtree.com right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

  8. I’ve been logged in since this morning. I typed a short reply to someone, but it won’t post. I’m not getting any kind of error message. I can’t “like” comments, and I’m not seeing any new comments on the page. When I opened The QTree in a separate window, I got a message about the website not being secure, so I closed the window.

    I haven’t been able to log in here at U-tree for hours. It wouldn’t recognize my password, then it wanted me to log in by email addy, then by screen name, what a runaround, and after all that, it would say that I can’t reply to unapproved comments 🤬😂

    But just now, instead of trying the same thing, I clicked on the WP icon, and logged in that way, and now I can post here again 👍

    1. I used different browsers, too, but it still didn’t work.

      It happened right after I posted this from my phone:

      https://x.com/Schwalm5132/status/2015470661490057540

      Eric Schwalm@Schwalm5132As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

      What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

      Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.

      This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

      The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

      I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

      Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

      We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

      Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.

      It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

        I think they figured out the problem at the other qtree site, here:

        A number of regulars have posted today at that link, maybe more than here.

        Apparently the problem is an expired Security Certificate. They expire every 120 days (apparently), and the only person who can renew it is Wolf Moon, but apparently he hasn’t checked in today.

        It probably only takes a minute to renew, so as soon as he checks in, it should be fixed quickly 👍

    A Domestic Insurgency Has Erupted – President Trump Sending Tom Homan to Minneapolis

    January 26, 2026 

    SD: “The violence in Minneapolis erupted when the scale of financial fraud was discovered.  The administration of President Trump has begun to highlight this non-pretending reality.

    On the surface it seems like ICE enforcement is the issue; however, in reality Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey have been leading a criminal syndicate, with the entire region engaged in money laundering and financial fraud.

    State political leadership are involved. The local Minneapolis police are involved; the Minneapolis municipal leaders are involved; a large and dedicated segment of the migrant population is involved; corrupt judges and officers of the courts are involved; public and private sector agencies involved in fraudulent exploitation of benefits are involved, and the community activists -footsoldier communists- are engaged in the process of using civil unrest as cover.

    .

    As the violent insurgency escalates, President Trump has announced Border Czar Tom Homan is being sent to the region:

    “I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me. Separately, a major investigation is going on with respect to the massive 20 Billion Dollar, Plus, Welfare Fraud that has taken place in Minnesota, and is at least partially responsible for the violent organized protests going on in the streets. Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are looking at “Congresswoman” Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars. Time will tell all. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” ~ President DJT

    When we went to Iraq/Afghanistan, American political leadership said we were going to fight them “there” so that we didn’t need to fight them “here.” However, that same American political leadership then imported hundreds-of-thousands of them to here.

    The communist-minded community activists have joined with the Antifa domestic terrorists and adopted the strategy of insurgencies.  Former retired Green Beret Officer Eric Schwalm writing on X accurately draws attention to the similarity of action:

    Eric Schwalm: “As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
