The danger of gender inequality


The genders are NOT equal. And the danger is this:

Monsanto is spraying poison weed killer on our fields of grain, etc. In addition, they have convinced us all to use their poisonous weed killer. What does Monsanto have to do with gender inequality?

Women are more easily swayed in politics than men are. So, what Big Business wants is a bunch of women in government. That way they can sway government into their lines of thinking easier.

You might say, Men in government seem to be swayed as easily as women! But that's because the Monsanto weed killer - that we eat, because it's on our food - ALSO makes men more feminine (besides making us all sicker).

Our sissy men in government have been made sissy by Monsanto, just to please the rest of Big Business. And since women are made to be women, they can handle the weed killer poison better than men can. So, it looks like the women are stronger than men.



Cool

The point is, if the genders weren't so unequal naturally, Big Business wouldn't have to go through all that trouble to make us equal, by making the men more feminine. We wouldn't get poisoned by BB, because they wouldn't have a need to poison us into being equal... if we were equal already. So, it's dangerous to be unequal.

Time for the rest of the Ukrainian people to move out of Ukraine. It seems that the young men of Ukraine are being forced into Russian roulette. But there is one difference. More and more of the chambers are being filled with rounds before spinning the cylinder.

What will they do when there is a serious and complete crackdown on all the people of Ukraine? It's death either way. The choice is joining, and being killed by Russians, or fighting conscription and being shot by Ukrainian recruiters.


Young Ukrainians Scared To Leave Their Homes As More And More Videos Emerge Of Forced Conscription



https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/young-ukrainians-scared-leave-their-homes-more-and-more-videos-emerge-forced
Recent videos of young Ukrainian men being conscripted across the country have circulated in popular encrypted messaging apps in Ukraine, and those fearful of being sent to the front are actively engaging in evasive and, in some instances, illegal tactics to avoid such a fate.

The brutal mobilization by Ukrainian military recruitment officers of young men has been occurring for a year and a half now, Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet reports.

"Many conscripted men are taken straight off the street by uniformed men," it states. "Most recently in Subcarpathia, a surveillance camera recorded the overreach of the authorities as a man trying to go to a store was kidnapped from his bicycle in broad daylight."

The man was abducted right on a street during the day by police and conscription officers in a small village in the Municipal District of Munkács, with his bicycle left in the road.

The interesting thing about these RFK allegations is, he backs up what he says. He doesn't always say that such and such are the facts. What he often says is that he has certain beliefs. But when he comes out with the facts, he has the proof to back them up. There's a whole lot more at the site... plus a video of RFK saying what's what.


BIOWARFARE ON AMERICANS: RFK Jr. says CIA was directly involved in funding COVID research for Wuhan lab



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-07-14-rfk-jr-cia-funded-wuhan-lab-covid-research.html
The reason why the Biden regime could not care less about even attempting to punish communist China for covering up the "lab leak" that many believe occurred at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, allowing the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) to escape, is because doing so would expose the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its bioweapons program.

These and other statements were made by 2024 presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a recent interview with Fox News' Jesse Watters. Kennedy suggested that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is also involved in funding the bioweapons programs from which COVID appears to have originated.

"I think the CIA was involved certainly in this research," Kennedy told Watters and viewers. "They were funding it through USAID. And NIH, I think, in the end gave about $26 million in funding to the Wuhan lab. But USAID, which was functioning as the CIA surrogate, gave over $64 million. The Pentagon also gave a lot of money."

Kennedy would go on in the interview to blast Tony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), for his complicity in unleashing hell on the world that resulted in tens of millions of needless deaths.

"I think he caused a lot of injury," Kennedy, who wrote an entire book about the subject, said of Fauci. "I think that he particularly, by withholding early treatment from Americans, we racked up the highest death count in the world. We only have 4.2 percent of the globe's population but we had 16 percent of the COVID deaths in this country and that was from bad policy."

(Related: Kennedy is a genuine environmentalist who cares about stopping real pollution and geological destruction.)

RFK Jr. says vaccines do, in fact, cause autism

Unlike the United States, many other countries allowed their citizens to access tried-and-true remedies for coronaviruses such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), both of which were maligned or even banned in the U.S. as "fake news."

Arrogant Ukraine. I think that we need to make Ukraine a State of the United States. Then it will be ours, and we can even move there. In addition, Ukraine owes it to us for all the money and armament we have given them. Besides, it would be a lot easier to freely trade with Russia that way. We all could probably get some of the BRICS gold backed currency (that is coming out in the near future) that way.


FL Rep. Luna: Ukraine asks $200 per day from every American to establish mercenary army like Russia’s Wagner Group



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-07-14-ukraine-asks-200-per-day-from-american-taxpayers.html
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) revealed that the Ukrainian Parliament demanded $200 per day from every American to create a mercenary army similar to Moscow's Wagner Group.

During a recent appearance at Steve Bannon's "War Room," Luna said she took a trip to meet with representatives from the parliament in Poland in May, along with four other Republicans and two Democrats. This is how she learned about Kyiv's demand for help in the war against Russia in the form of payments and fighter jets.

"They want to not only demand that Americans pay $200 every single day, every American in the country because it is our 'obligation' according to Ukraine so that they can defend the western world from Russia. But they are also saying that they want F-35s," she said. "And if that isn't crazy enough, they're saying that after Russia leaves Crimea, where their head is, they're going to potentially privatize and create a mercenary army similar to the Wagner Group. So that is the mindset of Ukraine," Luna said.

The Wagner Group is a private militia group that took the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut earlier in the Russia-Ukraine war before handing it over to Russian President Vladimir Putin's troops. After more than a year, Yevgeny Prigozhin, Wagner's leader, staged a short-lived coup that failed. However, Putin met with the leader in the days following.

As a guest on Bannon's Tuesday show, Luna pointed out the absurdity of the United States' continuous support of Ukraine. She even called out President Joe Biden's administration for stepping up military assistance to Ukraine, saying the crisis in the Eastern Europe nation is "not our problem."

Brighteon.TV

"I want to remind everyone that Ukraine had the option to join NATO and they didn't," Luna told Bannon. "So, they want to get housing insurance essentially after their house flooded and that's not our problem. We don't represent Ukraine, we represent the United States."

Smith went over to Jones's house, beat the crap out of him, and brought my lawn mower back to me. So, I loaned it to Smith, because I was too scared that he might beat the crap out of me if I didn't.

1548  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you expect to go to Heaven, when finished here on Earth? on: July 16, 2023, 03:46:00 PM
You miss a couple more questions, from the opposite direction. These questions are:
1. Does the universe exit?
2. Does life exist?
The reason why these are important is, nobody can prove them with solid, empirical science.

Big Bang is a fantasy that sounds good to those who need it to believe in. But the science behind BB is so extremely lacking that it is really utter foolishness. Besides, asking any layman to understand the little science there is, makes the whole topic of this question in a public forum to be foolishness.

As far as life goes, the dividing line between something that is dead, and the moment before while it was still alive, hasn't been found. If it is close to being found, it is understood (almost) by a few technical people, but absolutely none of us lay people.

The point of asking these two additional questions is, before we ask about some fanciful place called Heaven, we really need to be afraid, because we don't really know anything about this age.

But take heart. Since this universe and life seem to exist without proof, and without the knowledge of how such could be possible, something like Heaven could exist for the same, unknown reasons.

Cool
While it's true that the nature of the universe and the origins of life are complex topics, science continues to explore and uncover new insights. The existence of the universe is supported by a wide range of empirical evidence, from cosmic background radiation to the expansion of space. Regarding life, while the exact line between life and non-life is not yet fully understood, scientists have made significant progress in studying the origins of life through various disciplines such as chemistry, biology, and astrobiology.
The evidence is not empirical because nobody has 'been there' to find all the things that cause the evidence to exist as it does. What is empirical is that certain interpretations have been placed on the evidence to show universal unity in a direction that the 'directors' of the interpretations desire.

Scientific progress is beautiful and wonderful to look at. The scientific failures that led to the progress are rather ugly. Back in the late 1800s, scientists declared that everything worth knowing had been scientifically discovered already. Now we see how far off they were in their interpretations.



Rather than fearing the unknown, we can embrace the wonders of the universe and the potential for discoveries yet to come. Science has a remarkable track record of unraveling mysteries and expanding our knowledge. While we may not have all the answers at present, ongoing research and advancements in technology offer promising avenues for exploring the origins of the universe and the complexity of life.
Fearing the unknown is something that many modern scientists should be doing. Why? Because they have ignored the foundation of all knowledge. Saint Paul shows this when he talks about Jesus:

---   Ephesians 4:10: "He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe," - https://biblehub.com/ephesians/4-10.htm.

---   Colossians 2:3: "... in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge," - https://www.biblehub.com/colossians/2-3.htm,

Yet most scientists ignore the source, Jesus, and try to muddle their way through discovery without Him, the only real foundation.



The human thirst for understanding and the quest to explore the unknown have led to remarkable breakthroughs throughout history. It is through scientific inquiry and rigorous investigation that we inch closer to unraveling the mysteries of existence. So, while we may not have definitive answers yet, the pursuit of knowledge and the wonder it brings can lead us to new insights, including the possibility of realms such as Heaven, which may have their own uncharted explanations waiting to be discovered

Science hides a lot of what they find. For example, they have found through the Voyager satellites that they almost don't have a clue as to what the universe is made of. But those who publish what the scientists say about Voyager discoveries, publish those ideas as though they were fact, even though the scientists clearly express them only as ideas.

Consider the Microsphere Nanoscope... a microscope that can see living things in color that were only formerly visible, dead, in an electron microscope. Yet few people talk about the MN, because what it sees is changing the whole understanding of how life works. And no scientist wants his pet ideas to be trampled on, even by the truth.

Part of the reason science is not finding the truth is, they fail to scientifically appropriately explore the foundations of the Bible, God, and the reason for Jesus... Jesus, Who was made to be equal with God, by God Himself.

It's not that God is trying to hide the knowledge of what He does - the making of all of creation. Rather, it's that science is trying to find it out without the correct and proper direction for such finding. Amos 3:7: "Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets," - https://biblehub.com/amos/3-7.htm. Could it be that the whole creation - God's created universe - is revealed through what He told His servants the prophets? That is something worth scientific investigation!

Time for us to really start getting the correct basis for all scientific study... God's Word first, and then understanding how scientific discoveries match God's Word.

and,
Do you expect to go to Heaven, when finished here on Earth?

I do not know how all these lies theories came into existence. There are so many different believes and all these believes are attached to religion.

I believe there is no where in the atmosphere or benight the earth called heaven where one being called God is seated on a throne watching what is happening in the world. If there be Heaven it should be the presence of a supreme being called God. Then who is God?
Maybe Jesus was God, Mechisedec was God, Olumba is God and then wherever these being are is automatically called Heaven. This is my personal understanding and it is debatable.

Come on. Fess up. You only talk like that because you want to make everybody think that you are God, right?

The US and Nato lost, even if things drag on for a while.

It depends...
Russia lost more than half of its military. It can retrain soldiers, but most of its modern armament has been lost. Analysts say they've lost its offensive capability for 10-15 years.
They did not reach their goals like taking Kiev, assassinating Zelenskyy and planting their puppet government.
They lost trade deals with Europe and some military deals with countries who saw Russian jets and helicopters being decimated by modern missiles.
The counteroffensive isn't going well, but let's not forget that Russians were surrounding Kiev and now they're hiding in the trenches hundreds of miles to the East.

IMO there's no clear winner or loser here. The war is ongoing and it's not going to stop just like that. This conflict is going to continue for years, pretty much the way it is in Gaza.
Russians effectively pushed Ukraine into the arms of the EU and NATO. If that's a win, I wouldn't want to be the winner.

But wheredo you get the idea that Russia lost half of its military? If you check through my posts here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=149737;sa=showPosts, you will see some by Retired Col. Douglas Macgregor that disputes this idea.

How do you handle borrowers?


Loan them anything that they ask for. Of course, if you don't have it, you certainly can't loan it. So, when they find that out, they will stop asking after a while.

Jesus said, in Matthew 5:42: "Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you," - https://www.biblehub.com/matthew/5-42.htm.

Jesus also said, Luke 14:33: "In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples," - https://www.biblehub.com/luke/14-33.htm.

This give you a double opportunity:

1. It gives you an opportunity to graciously give up everything, by giving to those who ask to borrow them (You know that many borrowers never pay the things back.), so you can be a disciple of Jesus.

2. You know that you need some of the things that you are giving up. So, it gives you the opportunity to talk "Jesus" to the borrowers, requesting them to not ask to borrow from you, but to give up everything, so they can be disciples of Jesus just as you are.

It's easy for anyone to say that they are a Christian. But a real Christian is one who believes in salvation by Jesus, the Christ (Messiah).


I believe that everyone that loves his neighbor and doesn't do things that harm them might make it to heaven. We have to show love, mercy, and liberality.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me," - https://biblehub.com/john/14-6.htm. So far nobody has been able to show what doing good has to do with being saved.


Your religious belief greatly depends on your location. I am a Christian today because my parents practice the religion and most people in my location are Christians.
No, this is not why you are a Christian. The reason why you are a Christian is that through your parents, you heard the Word of God spoken, or you read it. Then the Holy Spirit worked faith in your heart through the Word that you heard.


If maybe I was born in Saudi Arabia, I would have been a Muslim. Nothing would have stopped me from becoming a Hindu if I was born in India. The main issue is to be good to humanity. If you assume that only Christians would go to heaven, then God can make it easy by stopping giving babies to Muslims and other religions.
It is the hearing of the Word of God - especially the parts that talk about Jesus-salvation - that works faith in the heart. People of nations or religions that don't have the Bible possibly will never hear the Word of God.


And make more Christian families have more children that will go to heaven instead of sending children in families that will lead them to hell. I don't believe that only Christians will go to heaven.

King David talks about how he was put together by God in his mommy's tummy: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb," - Psalm 139:13. What this means is that God is putting people together before they are born. So, we all heard the Word of God from the beginning of our conception. But if we don't have reinforcement by the Bible once we get out here, we forget.

The point is, everybody who believes in Jesus-salvation is saved, no matter how he gets that faith. But we can see how difficult it is for people born to practicing Christians to be saved. So, we can easily understand how hard it will be for people who don't have even the Word, to be saved.

However, if they get the Word in some way that we don't know about, they will be saved, if they believe. Yet, who has a clear example of how a person can get the Word without getting the Bible, or without somebody speaking it to him? Because that is what the Holy Spirit uses to work faith in the hearts of people.

Make the new currency have a number on it that is connected to a blockchain to see where it was used last, and if it is truly available. This might include some form of identification for the person holding the currency. If you don't scan the number, and look it up on the blockchain, and check out the attached ID number (whatever), it's your own fault for accepting counterfeit currency.

Remember that Bitcoin had a successful physical coin going until the government made enough threats against the coin-maker until he shut it down. The US threats won't bother BRICS people.

This process is too ambiguous and will make the currency less attractive to less technologically advanced nations. If the BRICS alliance gold-backed currency wants to compete favorably with the dollar it should be simple to identify and use. The online/electronic version of the money can serve as an alternative to the physical currency.

Here comes a world gold-backed currency. Will they let US people and Nato-nation people buy it on an individual basis? Will it become popular enough that gold selling companies will start trading gold for various international currencies through it? Will there actually be a method for redeeming it for real gold? Smiley
This news is based on speculation because no member of the BRICS nations has verified this move. We have had so heard so much about this alliance's intention to de-dollarize the world but all threats have not been backed with action. The BRICS summit in South Africa in August will be the litmus test of all this speculation. Having an alternative to the dollar will be good both politically and economically because the dollar has been misused by so many political actors. It will not be out of place to state that it has been weaponized.

My county solely depends on dollars for almost everything and when the currency is scarce the negative effect on the economy is usually bad. It is good to have some competition between these powerful nations because it will benefit developing nations. But I still doubt the BRICS currency's ability to tackle global inequality. The best currency for the world now should be a decentralized one.

Consider that "everyone" has a phone. Even the poor people who don't have a place to live still have a phone, somehow. Combining the algorithms that Monero uses for privacy, with the phone SMS, along with the blockchain, could produce an easy-to-use, private, yet verifiable cash ownership method.

As for charitable assistance, Russia has repeatedly stated that it is ready to deliver targeted supplies of wheat and fertilizers to the most needy African countries in the required volume free of charge. No grain deal is needed for this, Russia again had a record grain harvest last year.

Except "russia" is not doing that. Why?
For example, in order not to sabotage the grain deal. Do you have any idea what it's all about? How could Ukraine sell its grain under this deal if Russia would supply it for free?

Let's go again, Russia is ready to supply free wheat to countries in need if the grain deal is not extended. In other words, the starving countries of Africa will receive for free from Russia all the volume of wheat that fell from the closing of the grain deal. How many tankers Ukraine sent to Africa as part of the grain deal, Russia will send as many tankers free of charge after the cancellation of the deal. Is it clear now?

Without grain from Ukraine, there isn't enough grain to feed the world.  When there's a grain shortage, it will always be the poorest countries that are impacted the hardest.  It's a global market, it's really that simple.

They don't have enough grain to begin with, but even if they did, It would be foolish and naive to think Russia is just going to give Africa as much Wheat (one of the few Russian exports that aren't sanctioned) as they need while the price of Wheat is surging and the Ruble is plummeting.


Remember that after testing the Ukraine grain, several Nato countries wouldn't accept it because it was toxic. Hey, 'Ukraine grain'. That's got a bit of a ring to it.

I don't plan to die anytime soon. And as there's no recorded reviews from any dead, I have no expectations for afterlife.

God isn't complaining that you don't believe Him. In fact, He wants you to decide... make your own free choice. He probably won't even feel sorry that you roast in Hell. After all, it's for freedom that He has set you free... to even select Hell, if that's what you want.

He's quite a nice Guy, isn't He.

^^^ I don't have all the answers, but...

Make the new currency to have a number on it that is connected to a blockchain to see where it was used last, and if it is truly available. This might include some form of identification for the person holding the currency. If you don't scan the number, and look it up on the blockchain, and check out the attached ID number (whatever), it's your own fault for accepting counterfeit currency.

Remember that Bitcoin had a successful physical coin going until the government made enough threats against the coin-maker until he shut it down. The US threats won't bother BRICS people.

Is justice really  blind?


Justice is not at all blind... not in the tiny bit of the least. All justice has been made whole by the salvation that Jesus did when He died on the cross, and arose on the third day.

Everything that is done and believed by people in this life, is to express where they will stand in God's judgment in the last day.

I find it absurd that people really expect to go to heaven despite God's grace. Do Christians ever apologize when they do wrong? No. They do not. This is because they do not believe in repentance because Christians are just as hateful and angry as everyone else. I have an idea. Why don't all the fake believers just stop calling themselves Christians? And why don't people stop fooling themselves into believing that these fake believers have really repented of their sins. Christians tend to be the most angry and immoral of all people, so they will be the first in the line to HELL.

P.S. I am still the only entity who is publicly stating that all bio-safety level (BSL) 4 labs need to publicly post cryptographic timestamps of all of their data. It seems like everyone else is more concerned with how they can do as many hateful evil deeds as possible than about making sure that BSL-4 labs are truly secure. After all, none of you chlurmcks care about your own health. You only care about making sure that everyone around you is as f***ing miserable as you are because you are SCUM! So you will all go to Hell a lot sooner because you will get sick as a result of your refusal to take the necessary safety precautions to prevent pandemics.

If you disagree with what I have to say, then you should try being better people so that you by the grace of God would avoid HELL.

I agree that the dividing line between good works salvation and faith salvation can be difficult to understand. Look at the parable of the sheep and the goats - Matthew 25:31-46 - https://www.biblehub.com/niv/matthew/25.htm.

In this parable, it seems that the King is judging people on the merits of what they have done. It seems contradictory to passages like the one where Jesus says, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent," John 6:29 - https://biblehub.com/john/6-29.htm. So, how do we reconcile these two ideas? Something like this...

ALL people do good, and they all do evil. There are some believers and some unbelievers who do tremendous amounts of good, and very little evil. There are also loads of believers and loads of unbelievers who do very little good, but large amounts of evil.

In the sheep and goats parable, why is it that the King doesn't acknowledge the evil that the sheep did? It's because the sheep believe in the salvation that Jesus provided, and the sins (evil) have been washed away in Jesus blood. Their sins don't exist any longer because they are covered by the blood of Jesus. All that is left is the good, however small it may be.

With the goats, why doesn't the King acknowledge the good that they did, even though they did some evil right along with the good (just like the sheep)? Saint Paul explains it simply and clearly in the easy words, Romans 14:23b, "...and everything that does not come from faith is sin," - https://biblehub.com/romans/14-23.htm. So, for the goats, everything, even the good, is sin. Why? Because it was not done in faith.

Good works are to be done by believers because their faith is tested and diminished when they sin, especially if they do evil intentionally. Believers can lose their saving faith. But it is difficult, because God won't let them go easily.

One of the other good reasons why believers should do good and not do evil is, so that unbelievers can see that their godliness exists, so that these unbelievers also can turn to faith.

Nothing stops any believer or unbeliever from doing evil. But, reread Romans 14:23b above.
