The queen triggerfish winked into existence in the Atlantic Ocean off South Carolina in 2006, off North Carolina in 2011, off Florida in 2012, and off Georgia in 2024

“You have too much at stake to hesitate. You ought not to think an hour upon the matter, but to spring to action at once…Now our time and turn is come, and perhaps the finishing stroke is reserved for us. When we look back on the dangers we have been saved from, and reflect on the success we have been blessed with, it would be sinful either to be idle or to despair.”

From “The Crisis No. IV”, by Thomas Paine, 1777

THE DATA

On January 1, 2004, it is claimed that Joseph Schroer caught the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 7 pounds, 13.3 ounces.

However, there are no media accounts documenting Schroer’s catch. Just a repeated sentence in all of the articles on the 2006 South Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It is a bald-faced fabrication, put forth here by southeasternoutdoors.com and other stories on in the 2006 South Carolina state record queen triggerfish, all to keep a joint facade in place that “it has been here all along”.

From January 12, 2006 to 2011, the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish increased in size by 1.3%, from 9 pounds, 5.12 ounces to 9 pounds, 7 ounces.

On January 12, 2006, Marc Heiden caught the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 9 pounds, 5.12 ounces.

There are no South Carolina state records prior to 2006 for which there is media verification.

In 2006, the queen triggerfish winked into existence in the Atlantic Ocean off South Carolina. It weighed 9 pounds, 5.12 ounces.

From 2011 to 2022, the 4% increase in size of the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish was 208% greater, or more than three times greater than its 1.3% increase in size from 2006 to 2011.

The growth rate of the queen triggerfish in South Carolina is increasing exponentially, going forward in time.

That’s not scientifically possible, at least not according to the rapidly-collapsing false Orthodoxy which holds that organisms increase in ever-smaller increments to a genetically programmed maximum size, and that there is “no such thing as the ether”.

The truth is that the health of the ether is inexorably increasing, and the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism vary directly with the health of its etheric environment.

From 2011 to 2022, the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish increased in size by 4%, from 9 pounds, 7 ounces to 9 pounds, 10 ounces.

In 2011, the Florida state record queen triggerfish is said to have weighed 10 pounds, 5 ounces. However, there are no media accounts of this fish.

Given that there are no media accounts to support it, and no angler name is used in any of the articles which reference it, it is clear that the serial claims of a 2011 Florida state record queen triggerfish were all put forward to blunt the impact of the fact that it suddenly winked into existence in Florida in 2012. Further, the 2011 North Carolina state record queen triggerfish, the first in the history of the state, weighed 10 pounds, 5 ounces. The people using it as a supposed Florida state record didn’t figure anyone would ever do any fact checking on them.

In July 2011, Tim Cox caught the first-ever North Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 10 pounds, 5 ounces.

In July 2011, the queen triggerfish winked into existence in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, at a weight of 10 pounds, 5 ounces.

In 2011, J.H. Woodberry caught the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 9 pounds, 7 ounces.

On July 3, 2012, Benjamin Peterson caught the first-ever Florida state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 10 pounds, 11 ounces.

In 2012, the queen triggerfish winked into existence in Florida. It weighed 10 pounds, 11 ounces.

In 2022, Seth Costanzo caught the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 9 pounds, 10 ounces.

In 2022, S. Conesky caught the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 9 pounds, 13 ounces.

In April 2024, Raymond R. Simons caught the first-ever Georgia state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 7 pounds, .58 ounces.

In April 2024, the queen triggerfish winked into existence in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia, at a weight of 7 pounds, .58 ounces.

From April 2024 to May 2024, the Georgia state record queen triggerfish increased in size by 32.6%, or increased in size by a third, from 7 pounds, .58 ounces to 9 pounds, 6.24 ounces.

The uncredited Intelligence operative from the Georgia Division of Natural Resources omitted the percentage, and described it only generally as a “significant increase”, and said it “demonstrates Richburg’s skill”, which states that far-larger queen triggerfish had been out there in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.

In May 2024, Brian C. Richburg caught the Georgia state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 9 pounds, 6.24 ounces.

It was the second state record triggerfish in two months, after the species had never been documented in Georgia previously.

In June 2024, Tim Cox caught the first-ever North Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 10.34 pounds.

In June 2024, the queen triggerfish winked into existence in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, at a weight of 10.34 pounds.

THE ARTICLES

FEBRUARY 2006

In February 2006, southeasternoutdoors.com said “South Carolina State Record Queen Triggerfish”.

The uncredited author goes on to say “Marc Heiden, 41, of Florence, SC caught a 9-pound, 5.12-ounce Queen Triggerfish to claim the new state record on January 12”.

Where the curiously-uncredited author redacted the year, to make the subject less searchable.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.

On January 12, 2006, Marc Heiden caught the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 9 pounds, 5.12 ounces.

The article goes on to say “Heiden’s catch dismantles the previous SC state record for Queen Triggerfish, which was held by Joseph Schroer, of Pawley’s Island. On January 1, 2004, Schroer caught a 7-pound, 13.3-ounce Queen Triggerfish off of Georgetown.”

However, there are no media accounts documenting Joseph Schroer’s claimed catch. It is a bald-faced fabrication, put forth here by southeasternoutdoors.com and other stories on in the 2006 South Carolina state record queen triggerfish, all to keep a joint facade in place that “it has been here all along”.

To add grist to the mill, the size increase from 2004 to 2006 would be 19%, which is glaring proof that somebody back at headquarter overreached with this one.

JULY 2011

On July 13, 2011, carolinasportsman.com said “Huge queen triggerfish sets state record”.

Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Mike Marsh omitted the name of the state, to make the subject far less searchable.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

For the record, it is North Carolina.

Then Mike walked the largest queen triggerfish in the history of the state of North Carolina back to merely “huge”.

The subhead goes on to say “10.34-pounder establishes new record category on NCDMF list”.

Where Carolina Sportsman’s Mike Marsh replaced the plainspoken “first North Carolina state record” with the gymnastic “establishes new record category on NCDMF list”.”, to make the subject far less searchable.

We’ve also just learned that Mike used a gigantic half-truth in the headline, stopping just short of lying, with “sets state record”. He left the fact that it was the first-ever state record out, to do what little he could to hedge.

In July 2011, the queen triggerfish winked into existence in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, at a weight of 10 pounds, 5 ounces.

Note that there is no mention of “invasive species”, or any other explanation as to why there are suddenly queen triggerfish in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, when there have never been any there previously.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

They’re desperate to keep you from recognizing that the queen triggerfish just winked into existence in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, as the health of the ether improved to the point where the species could manifest within it.

JULY 2012

On July 25, 2012, ncangler.com said “State Record Gag Grouper, Queen Trigger Caught

Where, under the false guise of familiarity, the uncredited author omitted the name of the state, and redacted the word “fish” from “queen triggerfish”, both to make the subject far less searchable.

Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.

The article goes on to say “A Jacksonville man broke the state queen trigger fish record with a 10 pound, 11 ounce fish caught July 3, and a

Newport man established the state gag grouper record with a 43 pound, 8 ounce fish caught May 12.

Benjamin Peterson of Jacksonville caught the queen trigger 55 miles out New River Inlet using squid as bait on a Shimano Trevela rod and Shimano Sarasota 18000 reel with Power Pro 65 pound test braided fishing line. It measured 23.5 inches fork length (tip of the nose to fork in the tail) and had a 22-inch girth.

Peterson’s queen trigger replaces the previous state record of 10 pounds, 5 ounces, set in 2011.”

Where the uncredited Intelligence operative from ncangler.com repeatedly redacted “fish” from “queen triggerfish”, once again under the false guise of familiarity. Then they omitted the percentage increase between the old record and the news and, er, replaced it with “replaces the previous state record”. As a bonus, they also omitted mention of who set the previous record.

Those are all examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

In July 2012, Benjamin Peterson caught the Florida state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 10 pounds, 11 ounces.

DECEMBER 2012

On December 27, 2012, scnow.com said “Dec 27, 2012 — A tie for state record Queen Triggerfish was caught on June 15 by angler James Hunter Woodberry of Lake City, SC.”

On June 15, 2012, James Hunter caught a queen triggerfish which tied the South Carolina state record. It weighed 9 pounds, 7 ounces.

The article is behind a paywall. This is all of it that I can see.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

APRIL 2024

On April 10, 2024, coastalgadnr.org said “Queen Triggerfish added to state record books with Richmond Hill man’s catch”.

Where, under the false guise of familiarity, the uncredited author from the Georgia Division of Natural Resources omitted the name of the state, and replaced the plainspoken “first Georgia state record” with the gymnastic “added to state record books”, to make the subject far less searchable.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.

The article goes on to say “A Richmond Hill man has set a new Georgia state record category for a Queen Triggerfish (Balistes vetula), weighing in at 7 pounds, 0.58 ounces.

The fish is a new species in the Georgia Saltwater Game Fish Program and no prior record existed. The records program committee, made of Department of Natural Resources (DNR) staff and biologists, approved the addition of the species Tuesday, April 9.”

Where the terse “no prior record existed” bravely plays the farce that the queen triggerfish had been out there all along, only nobody had recorded it with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.

In April 2024, the queen triggerfish winked into existence in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia, at a weight of 7 pounds, .58 ounces.

The article goes on to say “Georgia DNR congratulates Simons on his remarkable catch.”

Where “remarkable” is an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

The uncredited Intelligence operative from the Georgia Division of Natural Resources repeated “catch” to reinforce the false meme that queen triggerfish had been out there in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.

Note that there is no mention of “invasive species”, or any other explanation as to why there are suddenly queen triggerfish in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia, when there have never been any there previously.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

They’re desperate to keep you from recognizing that the queen triggerfish just winked into existence in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia, as the health of the ether improved to the point where the species could manifest within it.

MAY 2024

On May 22, 2024, coastalgadnr said “New queen triggerfish record set for second time in two months”.

Where, under the false guise of familiarity, the uncredited author from the Georgia Division of Natural Resources omitted the name of the state, omitted the word “state” from “state record”, to make the subject almost unsearchable.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.

The article goes on to say “Georgia’s fishing community has a new champion. Brian C. Richburg, 29, of Brunswick, has set a new state record for the queen triggerfish (Balistes vetula) with an impressive catch weighing 9 pounds, 6.24 ounces. Richburg achieved this feat May 17, 2024, while fishing offshore near the South Ledge in about 180 feet of water.”

Where the uncredited Intelligence operative from the Georgia Division of Natural Resources said “fishing”, “champion”, “catch”, “achieved”, “feat” and “fishing” to reinforce the false meme that queen triggerfish had been out there in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.

The article goes on to say “Richburg’s record-breaking queen triggerfish surpasses the previous state record of 7 pounds, 0.58 ounces, set by Ryan R. Simons of Richmond Hill just last month in April. The significant increase in weight demonstrates Richburg’s skill and the rich marine life present in Georgia’s offshore waters.”

There’s no mention as to why Georgia’s offshore waters were one species less rich just two months previously.

From April 2024 to May 2024, the Georgia state record queen triggerfish increased in size by 32.6%, or increased in size by a third, from 7 pounds, .58 ounces to 9 pounds, 6.24 ounces.

The uncredited Intelligence operative from the Georgia Division of Natural Resources omitted the percentage, and described it only generally as a “significant increase”, and said it “demonstrates Richburg’s skill”, which states that far-larger queen triggerfish had been out there in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.

The article goes on to say ““We are excited to congratulate Brian on this extraordinary achievement,” said Tyler Jones, CRD’s public information officer and coordinator of the Georgia Saltwater Game Fish Records program.”

Where “extraordinary” is an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”, and where “extraordinary achievement” reinforces the false meme that far-larger queen triggerfish had been out there in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.

JUNE 2024

On June 7, 2024, carolinasportsman.com said “Lowcountry angler sets SC’s new queen triggerfish record”.

Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Brian Cope redacted the word “state” from “state record” and walked “South Carolina” back to SC”, both to make the subject far less searchable.

Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

Brian said “angler” to reinforce the false meme that queen triggerfish had been out there in the Atlantic Ocean off South Carolina all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill or assiduousness, previously.

The article goes on to say “Due to a technicality in the way state record fish are recorded, Costanzo’s fish is listed as a tie with a smaller queen triggerfish that was caught in 2011. That 9-pound, 7-ounce queen trigger was caught out of Georgetown by J.H. Woodberry of Lake City, S.C.”

In 2011, J.H. Woodberry caught the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 9 pounds, 7 ounces.

In May 2024, Seth Costanzo caught the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish. It weighed 9 pounds, 10 ounces.

JUNE 2024

A current, undated article on dnr.sc.gov is headlined “Saltwater Game Fish Records for South Carolina”.

Where the uncredited author does not make any mention of the queen triggerfish, which is, spectacularly, the only South Carolina saltwater game fish record mentioned in the article.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.

The article goes on to say “Trigger, Queen

Angler: James Hunter Woodberry of Lake City, South Carolina

Trigger, Queen Weight: 9 lbs. - 7 oz.”

Where the uncredited Intelligence operative who writes about fish records for a living has taken “queen triggerfish” and redacted “fish”, and twice gymnastically cut it up into “Trigger, Queen” to make the subject almost completely unsearchable.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

They also didn’t mention the date that the record was set, or where it was set.

Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

The article goes on to say “Angler: S. Costanzo of Awendaw, South Carolina

Trigger, Queen Weight: 9 lbs. - 10 oz.”

Where the uncredited Intelligence operative who writes about fish records for a living has once again taken “queen triggerfish” and redacted “fish”, and gymnastically cut it up into “Trigger, Queen” to make the subject almost completely unsearchable.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

Then, for a second time, they didn’t mention the date that the record was set, or where it was set.

Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

As a bonus, the article goes on to say “Angler: S. Conesky of Margate, New Jersey

Trigger, Queen Weight: 9 lbs. - 13 oz.”

Wait, what? An article about salt water game fish records for South Carolina contains a queen triggerfish from Margate, New Jersey? Nope. Further research showed me that S. Conesky caught the South Carolina state record queen triggerfish in 2022. It weighed 9 pounds, 13 ounces.

Where the uncredited Intelligence operative who writes about fish records for a living has once again taken “queen triggerfish” and redacted “fish”, and gymnastically cut it up into “Trigger, Queen” to make the subject almost completely unsearchable.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

Then, for a second time, they didn’t mention the date that the record was set, or where it was set.

That is an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.

So I’m going to need to research three additional articles.
