Waiting for the Wheat to be Separated From the Tares | Laura Aboli
The following guest post is by Laura Aboli @ https://t.me/LauraAbolichannel
“The enemy planted weeds among the wheat while everyone slept. When the servants saw what had happened, they wanted to rip the weeds out immediately. But the farmer said no, because in doing so, they’d destroy the wheat too.”
If what we’re witnessing really is a global cleanup, a dismantling of entrenched evil, a war being fought in the shadows, then it makes sense that it can’t happen all at once. You can’t purge a system this vast, without damaging what’s still worth saving. The corruption, the deception and the rot are woven into everything: politics, media, finance, even the structures that hold daily life together.
To pull it out too fast would collapse the whole field, so the process has to be gradual, strategic, almost surgical. It’s demolition, but done with precision; one beam at a time, so the house doesn’t crush the people still living inside.
And maybe that’s why it feels slow, why justice seems delayed, because what’s unfolding is not chaos, but a carefully executed plan focused on long lasting results rather than immediate fickle victories.
In the parable, the farmer says…
“Let both grow together until the harvest.”
Only when the wheat is mature can the weeds [tares/chaff] be gathered and burned without harm. Perhaps that’s where we are now, the waiting before the harvest. The moment before the great separation.
The time will come when the field is cleared, the truth revealed, and every root exposed to the light.
I pray for that moment.

One of my key roles as a librarian is to teach people how to evaluate sources of information. To borrow one of Thrasher's own favorite themes, the idea is to hone faculties of discernment. To that end, I encourage all to follow a few steps when encountering sources of information, especially ones that are new to you. The method is called SIFT (Stop, Investigate, Find, and Trace). Here is one of many guides on the method that goes into further detail on how and why to employ it: https://guides.lib.uchicago.edu/c.php?g=1241077&p=9082322
I appreciate Thrasher's commitment to this website, and we both share a deep love of the music of Neil Young. We part ways, it would seem, when it comes to what we believe counts as discernment. My application of the SIFT method on the source of this post revealed that this is a person steeped in conspiracy thinking. "They" are running a globalist agenda to establish one world government. The pandemic was a psyop. "Gender ideology" is grooming people to accept transhumanism, with transgender individuals who undergo transition surgery as the unwitting midwife to this nefarious plot engineered by our overlords. We live in The Matrix. All the greatest hits are here.
Folks, it's a heady mix. As they like to say, do your own research. Is the self-proclaimed financier cum interior designer cum self-proclaimed expert on a variety of technologies the one you find worth listening to? As a miner for a heart of gold, I found only lumps of coal in this morass.
In the latitudes hereabouts if you want to grow a garden for vegetables, fruits, and other nice things to have, you better keep on weeding, or you won't have a harvest at all. Weeding, to stay in the metaphor, is an unpleasant and tiresome work, where you literally pull the plug on undesired competitive organisms (with a totally different agenda than originally intended by the gardener).
Different kinds of wheat are grown all over my country: durum and soft, many varieties of green and ripe spelt, emmer wheat and probably a couple of hundred sub-varieties and hybrids. All of them need some kind of pest control, othewise one ends up with the problem of separating the wheat from the chaff when there is no one around. "One never knows what it's good for" is diametrically opposed to "You don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows." (ancient American wisdom)
To be sure - and heeding Nomad's advice - the weatherman did his own research now. And he found another specimen of the real sick Online-American.
Not just American. Ms. Aboli is a Spanish resident of the UK, and I'm sure you're aware of the growing ranks of conspiracists in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
Her takes would be almost comical if they weren't also so offensive. In one reel on IG, she promotes the idea that the wildfires in LA last winter were planned by some nefarious group intent on remaking LA into some techno-dystopia, throwing in a dose of climate change denial for good measure. M'kay. I'll take Occam's Razor, thank you very much.
On the darker side, the less than subtle antisemitism is truly abhorrent with this ilk. My dear, we have been down this road before.
49ers got a beat down by Rams. Disappointing . At first I was like God in the Old Testament. Throwing lightening on people's heads. Now Im resigned to my fate.
Just checked her out. What on earth is Thrasher doing publicising such a person and her deranged views?
You're just a stupid girl
@ Knowledge Nomad - 1st, thanks for the measured comment here.
We certainly appreciate your attention and background. We do have considerable respect for your profession and once directly supported professional researchers, such as yourself. So yes, disCERNment is paramount.
And this affords us a "teachable moment" opportunity, so thank you again.
2nd, we'd like to approach this by separating the message and messenger.
Only Dionys has directly responded to the message. Everyone else is attacking the messenger.
Regarding the message, this is a well known parable. Specifically, Matthew 13:24-43. In going back over this we learned a few things.
This parable differs from the TW philosophy embodied by Matthew 3:11-12 where the "chaff" is considered the inedible husk separated from wheat during threshing.
In this parable, the "weeds" are tares (likely darnel, a poisonous weed that mimics young wheat), not chaff. This distinction matters because tares grow intertwined with wheat, making early separation risky, which is central to the story's message.
We figured Sunday morning folks would make these connections.
Because of the farming allusions in the parable, we thought this might resonate with the agriculture community which visits this site due to our sustained Farm Aid support. In fact, we actually ran this by some in the community to check on resonance and went ahead with posting. In fairness, we don't think anyone looked really closely at all of the author's writings.
Lastly, this is a parable because it imparts wisdom. So by rejecting the message because of the messenger one misses out. We found this to be a hopeful message of encouragement for patience amid perceived systemic evils.
Regarding the messenger here, at the moment, we're not going to try and defend Ms. Aboli, her background and writings. Everyone can decide themselves. This post was about the message.
If folks want to pull out the weeds before the harvest fine.
So we wonder? Are the attacks on the author because the message is dangerous? Or is there really a desire to prematurely root out the weeds before the harvest?
And consider this ... if Jesus were on social media today he would labeled a "conspiracy theorist". just saying
Dionys, for the weeds I recommend a burn down. Hit them first with a heavy dose of glysophate and then some paraquot- a good old Australian "double knock." Don't blame Bayer if you overspray and kill everything.
Julia, your comment is not very nice.
Somehow my recent comment got swallowed by the system. I'll try again. Nomad, on the surface you might have it right, the author is of Spanish descent and appears to live in the UK. I checked the telegram channel and either fooled myself because I only saw those many Trumpist quotes and figured the online-personality to be American or I fell for the illusion that this is a real person. Maybe it is not a real person but an amalgamated online-presence.
I am not so sure that the numbers of people of that kind are growing in Germany. It is more like they never have been away but now they have channels and platforms that make themselves visible. Providing these channels and platforms is part of the problem.
As for the weeding, and maybe some irony didn't register with me, weeding, as I understand it , is when you put on working gloves and pull out undesired plants, hence it is "unpleasant and tiresome". Using Round Up or other pesticides is not weeding, neither is burning. What is a good old Australian "double knock"?
Tending to gardens most of my life I have never used any chemicals myself and try to avoid eating anything that was produced that way.
So I believe that Nomad got to the root of the problem. The original text itself would be wed out.
Abner, You sound just like your President. Says it all really
Over and oiut
Well, I failed to make my points and I have only myself to blame. The reference to glyphosate and paraquat was meant to support Dionys's points. Chemical burn downs and double-knocks are different processes than weeding. The technological processes came into play according to the rule of technology and the rule of scale. They are quite efficient, they require little effort, and they demolish weeds (until). "Do your own research" follows the same rule of technology: it must be convenient and easy to become educated on a topic. Of course, it is not and taking the easy way works (until) one gets past the vast superficial veneer of knowledge. The chemical process works until weeds respond with resistance, following a LAW of nature, not a human rule: natural selection ensures resistance and then we need double-knocks or we must abandon the technological rule. Dionys, the Australians dealt with the "super-weed" Palmer amaranth first and they did it with the double-knock but now the super-weed has something like 8 points of resistance to both chemicals.
Julia, this was my point.
Thanks, Abner, it's never too late, to learn a new expression. Having a little agricultural background myself I know about the longterm effects of these herbicides, of course. I'll check out Palmer Amaranth, too. In June 2026 my 11th graders will learn all about it, when we'll have Australia on the menu.
Just saw that my newly acquired knowledge won't have to wait. Palmer Amaranth appears to be a problem in AK, TX, KS, IL , and in Iowa as well I assume. I'll be getting to American agriculture before Christmas. It's too bad that my classes are during the morning hours, the time difference prohibits inviting American farmers or Farmaidians to address my students online during class.
Thanks for your response, @Thrasher. You raise a valid objection to my focus on the messenger, while not addressing the message. So, let me respond by noting that I went to the messenger because the message itself is one that is oblique and open to interpretation, but implies there is some sort of organized “entrenched evil” lurking in the “shadows”. “The corruption, the deception and the rot are woven into everything.”
These are all-encompassing claims, but couched in a language that fails to name the source either of this “entrenched evil” or the (wise) ones who are following a “carefully executed plan” to root them out. I question whether either exists and I find these attempts to invoke and blame the condition of the world on mysterious, hidden actors, who were planted by an “enemy” disturbing. Power and secretive groups acting in concert to control the world is very much the stuff of conspiracy theories, and that raises alarm bells for me. Maybe that’s my own intergenerational trauma at work. That does not mean I don’t believe there aren’t, in fact, people with great resources at their disposal who do bad things, but we can name those people and those actions directly. And if there is some sort of coordination between them, that would have to be named as well. Invoking such coordination without proving it leaves open the space for very dangerous scapegoating.
So, since the message fails to make clear its meaning, I investigated the messenger. What is this person’s intent in propagating this message. Who do they mean are the “weeds” who should be eventually “gathered and burned”? Again, I think an investigation into Ms. Aboli’s public postings (I did not go to the Telegram site, as that is not an app I use, but I did look at her website, IG account and listen to a few posted podcasts she appeared on) shows she traffics extensively in bizarre and disturbing conspiracies.
As for the original parable, that can indeed be read as a piece of wisdom that one can interpret in many ways and is worth pondering. My objection is to the interpretation applied by Ms. Aboli. And so I do think it is, in this case, for the reasons mentioned above, reasonable to go to the source to try to make sense of what the person is trying to say by getting a picture of who the person is and what they think. I would argue this differs from the logical fallacy of an ad hominem attack insofar as the “substance” of Ms. Aboli’s interpretation is so oblique, that we are warranted in digging further into other writings to be able to try to uncover their meaning. You chose to post Aboli’s interpretation in addition to the parable. To that end, I think you have to take some responsibility for representing those views. Indeed, you labeled it a “guest post.”
To answer your questions, yes, I think the message is dangerous. Again, not necessarily the biblical parable, but rather the gloss put on it by Ms. Aboli. To imply that people are “weeds” that need to be “gathered and burned” is the stuff of dehumanizing rhetoric, and we know where that leads. People are not weeds or vermin or whatever other metaphor is employed to justify their “eradication.”
Trying to defang the pernicious effects of conspiracy theories by claiming Jesus would be considered a conspiracist is a bit too cute, I’m afraid. I’m far more concerned about the conspiracy that developed after his death that held Jews collectively responsible for his death, which has gone on to justify centuries of antisemitism and the attendant horrors that have accompanied it.
Finally, I’ll close by noting, I didn’t make any connection to this being posted on a Sunday. As a non-religious, culturally Jewish person, that went right by me.
really good comment
Thanks KM.
Sincerely appreciate clarifications.
BTW, happy birthday Neil today!
We'll agree that interpreting weeds to equate to humans is disturbing and unacceptable. But I'm not sure that was Ms Aboli intent?
I do think we're trying to get to the same place from different directions.
Again, your discernment is outstanding and an example for all when encountering non mainstream information and alternative thinking.
peace

Thanks, Thrasher. What you euphemistically call "non mainstream information and alternative thinking" requires the same discernment as other sources. The boundaries between mainstream and non-mainstream are fluid. Is Rogan non-mainstream when he has one of, if not the most, popular podcasts ? So, again, I encourage all to look closely at the claims any author makes, whether they have the support of an editorial staff or are just a lone person shooting from the hip. Are the claims specific and capable of being proved or disproved or are they broad and general with no (or other murky) evidence to support them? Ms. Aboli's post here and, indeed, elsewhere, represent the latter. And that's a problem. Teachable moment, indeed.
Thank you KM. Good advice. Thanks for being here.
