Look for maps that show where nukes and fallout likely will not blow or be used. Move there.

Check for details. For example, there is a small town 100+ miles north of Phoenix in Arizona. It's in the mountains, and is easily small enough that there is no technical advantage for Russians to nuke that area. Except...

There is a barely known report that nuclear research was being done in the mountains North of Payson in the past. Is the research still going on? Do the Russians know about it?


As Russia Prepares To Use Tactical Nukes, Millions Of You Don’t Even Realize You Are Going To Die In A Third World War



https://endoftheamericandream.com/as-russia-prepares-to-use-tactical-nukes-millions-of-you-dont-even-realize-you-are-going-to-die-in-a-third-world-war/
What is it going to take to wake people up?  Russia is deploying tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, and there is lots of talk in the Russian media about using such weapons to bring a quick end to the war in Ukraine.  The theory is that once the Russians show that they are willing to use tactical nukes, the U.S. and the other western powers will back off.  But that won't be what happens.  Instead of backing off, the Biden administration will respond by using U.S. tactical nuclear weapons against Russian targets in Ukraine.  And once both sides have used tactical nukes, it is just a matter of time before the big nukes get used.

This war could have been avoided at the negotiating table long before it ever started, but that didn't happen.

And we could still have a negotiated solution, but at this point both sides are not interested in peace talks at all.

...has made us to understand that an equal society is possible if the society work in unity. Search has shown that 80% of relationship between societies is strictly bias and profit minded which make it difficult for equal society to exist. The rich hate the poor to reach the class and the poor hate the rich for always staying at the top. A quote says: the rich cannot sleep because the poor are awakes and the poor can not sleep because they're hungry. This are part societies from the pictures of seeing people equal or leadership doubtlessly working towards equal societies. Is any society that practice equality laws and equity for oneness in all shared resource?

I don't know what world the panorama you paint is from, but it certainly isn't from this one. In this world we will never be equal, and that's not a bad thing, the world is the way it is. What we have to be is equal in rights and tend to try to equalize in opportunities, not in results. Although I doubt you understand what I am saying.
You are making the same mistake that the Bolsheviks made in the USSR - confusing equality and sameness. Sameness is impossible, because all people are different. But the equality of people is quite an achievable goal, and you yourself recognize that people should be equal in rights and strive to give everyone equal opportunities.

The trouble is that not everybody can do every trade. A seamstress might not know how to make car engines. A car metallurgist might not know how to make glass for the windows. Only a few people know how to organize and direct the affairs of society to benefit everyone equally. And there is where the problem lies. You can't trust the leaders to keep from enriching themselves above the rest, and making everybody else their slaves. If they say that you can trust them, how do you know they aren't lying... or at least delusional?

It just hit the fan! - Horowitz: Confidential Pfizer Document Shows they Observed 1.6 MILLION adverse events Covering Nearly EVERY Organ System



https://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=224449
Hold onto your seats, folks, because a few hours ago, Daniel Horowitz from Conservative Review unleashed Pfizer's Post Marketing Adverse Event Report ..

Daniel Horowitz

Over 10,000 categories of nearly 1.6 million adverse events – many of them serious and debilitating – brought to you by Pfizer!

You might not have heard it in the news, but in recent months, Pfizer's pharmacovigilance documents requested by the European Union's drug regulator, the European Medicines Agency, have been released. They show that Pfizer knew about a sickening level of injury early on. An August 2022 document shows that the company already had observed the following scope of vaccine injury:

508,351 individual case reports of adverse events containing 1,597,673 events;

One-third of the AEs were classified as serious, well above the standard for safety signals usually pegged at 15%;

Women reported AEs at three times the rate of men;

60% of cases were reported with either "outcome unknown" or "not recovered," so many of the injuries were not transient;

Highest number of cases occurred in the 31-50 year age group, and 92% did not have any comorbidities, which makes it very likely it was the vaccine causing such widespread, sudden injury.

Top FBI Deep Stater Who Played Key Role in Trump Raid FLIPS -- Admits FBI Search Was Illegal

The official in question is Steven D'Antuono, a particularly notable whistleblower given the integral role he played in the kidnapping entrapment plot of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.), which earned him a promotion as Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office (WFO) in 2020.

D'Antuono's office subsequently quarterbacked the mass arrests and prosecutions of hundreds of Trump supporters following the January 6 protests.

In a letter sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) claimed D'Antuono voluntarily came forward to the House Judiciary Committee to reveal his objections with how the bureau executed the raid of Mar-a-Lago.

"On June 7, 2023—days before the reported indictment of former President Trump—the Committee conducted a transcribed interview of Steven D'Antuono," Jordan wrote.

"Mr. D'Antuono served as the former Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office (WFO) and one of the most senior FBI officials in charge of effectuating the unprecedented raid of President Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago. During his testimony, Mr. D'Antuono expressed strong concerns with the Department's pursuit of the raid and noted several unusual features in the Department's handling of the case."

Tucker Carlson Takes Aim At "Wannabe Dictator" Joe Biden



https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tucker-carlson-joe-biden-wannabe-dictator
After delivering an epic condemnation of the Deep State ('permanent Washington') in his previous episode - which has now been view over 90 million times - Tucker Carlson turns his acerbic eye first to his former employer - Fox News - and then to the "wannabe dictator" in The White House.

On Tuesday this week, shortly after former President Trump's arrest, Fox News ran two video feeds (of Biden and Trump) simultaneously with the following chyron: "wannabe dictator speaks at The White House after having his political rival arrested."

The words were on the screen less than 30 seconds but the effect was immediate inside Fox as Carlson notes "the women who run the network panicked... first they scolded the producer... less than 24 hours after that, he resigned (he'd been at Fox for more than a decade, considered one of the most capable people in the building."

Then, the company issued a public apology: "the chyron was taken down immediately," adding ominously that the situation was "addressed."

The rest of the media were 'outraged' - "suggesting Biden is a dictator crossed the line" remarked The Washington Post.

Several members of the liberati called for the banning of any criticism of the President, laughingly demanding an action that only dictators would do, demanding actions against Fox News, such as banning it from military bases or revoking its broadcasting license.

But here's the former Fox News host's first point:

"Democrats were very very angry... but why were they angry? If the banner was false, why the hysteria? Lies don't seem to bother anyone anymore... if some cable news producer had called Biden a genius, or secretly Sudanese, would anyone be yallin gabout it?"

I think even after the crushing victory of Russia, the media in the USA will convincingly explain to ordinary Americans why this is a victory, not a defeat - some Russians (from Russia) killed other Russians (from Ukraine) and this is a good waste of American money. And damn it's hard to argue with that, given that most ordinary Americans can't seem to find Ukraine on the world map. Grin

I know where Ukraine is on the world map. But only if I use a modern map. Russia was there on the world map for centuries longer than Ukraine. In fact, Ukraine used to be part of Russia. Why did they rebel?


Suspended For Providing Balanced News On Ukraine

They concern a Radio New Zealand, or RNZ, broadcasting employee — unnamed, but everyone in the small New Zealand broadcasting world will soon know who it is — who has been placed on leave while their professional conduct is investigated. Obviously, a career hangs in the balance.

The malign ghosts of Orwell's 1984 stalk this story.

'Russian Garbage'

This unnamed person in RNZ committed the cardinal sin of "inappropriate editing" of incoming Reuters news feeds on the war in Ukraine to insert "Russian garbage" in the contemptuous words of Paul Thompson, chief executive of RNZ. That is to say, they drew on Russian news sources to insert balancing pro-Russian material to the incoming Western news agency feeds. The Guardian tells us that in fact accurate information about Ukraine was added to the Reuters copy:

"The articles in question made a range of amendments: adding the word 'coup' to describe the Maidan revolution; changing a description of Ukraine's former 'pro-Russian president' to read 'pro-Russian elected government'; adding references to a 'pro-western government' that had 'suppressed ethnic Russians'; and on several occasions adding references to Russian concerns about 'neo-Nazi elements' in Ukraine."

And more truth was added to the story, The Guardian says:

"In one article, a paragraph was added reading: 'The Kremlin also said its invasion was sparked by a failure to implement the Minsk agreement peace accords, designed to give Russia speakers autonomy and protection, and the rise of a neo-Nazi element in Ukraine since a coup ousted a Russian-friendly Ukrainian government in 2014.'

...

The war in Ukraine now winds steadily towards its inevitable pro-Russian denouement. Russia clearly has the military edge and this will not change now. Billions of dollars’ worth of supplied U.S./NATO equipment continues to be destroyed in combat.

^^^ Sometimes it is difficult getting an understanding of the things Jesus really meant.

Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into Heaven. Which should a person want? Earthly riches that last for a hundred years (maybe)? Or Heavenly riches that last forever?

However, Jesus also said to His disciples when they asked what they were going to get, that everybody who left their earthly 'riches' to follow Him, would receive a hundred times the former earthly things they had in this life, along with persecutions, and in the end eternal life.

What happened to the disciples who left everything for Jesus? At the Pentecost, they received the Spirit of God in a powerful way. Then, after the Pentecost they received all kinds of wealth from the thousands of people who converted to Christianity in Jerusalem. Read "The Acts of the Apostles" in the Bible to see this.

We aren't told exactly, but it seems that the Twelve disciples forgot about serving a little. They appointed 'the seven' to oversee the distribution of food and clothing among the members of the first church in Jerusalem. If you read between the lines in Acts, it seems that the seven (even though Stephen was stoned) received at least as much power from God (for a time) as the disciples had. Why? Jesus showed the disciples the way of the servant when He washed the disciples' feet. And servants were what the seven became.

Think about it.

My understanding is that Biden isn't the President. After a new President takes his oath of office - swears on the Bible - he has thirty days to sign an affidavit of the oath, that he is accepting the office in government. All government people are required to do this, both swear on the Bible, and sign the affidavit within 30 days.

Nobody has been able to find Biden's affidavit. They haven't been able to find the affidavits of many of the high-up officials in Biden's regime... including the AG, and Biden's cabinet. FOIAs (Freedom of Information Act) requests for these affidavits have not produced them. They don't seem to exist.

The point is, if they don't exist, Biden's Oath of Office and Presidency expired 30 days after he took the oath in public. Same with the others, if they even took the oath... if they didn't sign an affidavit of the oath.

The big point is this. Government people who take orders from Biden and the AG (and others), are acting in their private capacity without knowing it. This includes the armed forces. These people should be sued, right along with Biden.

Money should be brought back from Ukraine, along with the military equipment sent. It was sent illegally.

Can anybody provide copies of certified/verified affidavits of Oath of Office for these people?

Cool

So assuming what you are seeing is true and he is not legally the president because he never signed on that document then, who is in charge or the country or who should be the legitimate president of USA. I assume that the most logical step to take after uncovering such irregularity would be to hold new elections and then elect a new president.

Also, I doubt that it would be possible to recover much of the money from Ukraine, most of it I think has been bought on spendable stuff, like ammo and tanks, I doubt defense companies and factories of military equipment would not be willing to give money back for they have worked for, there are contracts and deals which have been already signed.

Recovering money from Ukraine might be a problem. But Trump will make it all better for us when he gets back in office.

The country is not what you think. If the Federal government shut down permanently right this minute, the State governments would easily fill the gap. In fact, it is the Federal government that is holding them back. Much that the Federal does is counter productive, so things would get better just from the shutdown. In fact, the biggest problem would be integrating all those Federal workers back into society... which could be done easier if they spread out into the States rather than staying in D.C.

If the State governments couldn't fill the gap, the counties would take over. In some counties, it might take the people a 'moment' to start moving, but when the people realize that they can govern themselves, they suddenly become very practical and capable on their own issues right at home... I mean their real home... not regarding all kinds of money deals across borders.

With no Federal, the States would each make their own money, and make agreements with other States for cross-border acceptance of their money. The Federal Reserve Bank would shut down, and the Fed owners wouldn't get any more loan promissory note money. This would stop the Ukraine war, and all kinds of interference that the wealthy elite of the world make among the nations of the world........

Note that all money is based on something that is conjured into being. All world money among the major nations is simply "printed" into being. Banking and other money laws are simply the controls to stop overenthusiastic bankers and government money people from overdoing it, and destroying the system thereby. All the wars and police actions in the world are attempts by the banking elite to keep the fake fiat money system growing, and to destroy any money system that wants to work on 'stuff' that has literal REAL value rather than simple 'said-paper-value'.

Looks like Trump was legal in keeping the records and documents, after all. The 'Presidential Records Act' allows the President to keep any government records as personal records, as long as he removes them from government while he is in office. This was adjudicated to be so in a case where Clinton did this.

What the whole thing means is that everybody who raided Mar-a-Lago, did so as theft and invasion of privacy, against the 4th Amendment. It will be interesting to see if Trump files against them.

God is an alien. He built a 'computer' the heavens and the earth. He programmed the computer with all kinds of programming, including life. As the Creator, He exists within his computer and programs, and without.

It's a bit like a person who builds a house. The house is not him, and the things of the house are not him. Yet he exists both within the house at times, and outside of it at other times.

The difference with God is that He actually became part of the house when He became Jesus... Jesus Who is both part of the House as man, and part of God Who is outside the house.

The 40-day fast that Jesus did, was something that was a righteousness and a perfection that fit a being Who was both God and man. Remember, God made the universe, and made it to act perfectly. So, as the Perfecter of the universe (through His life, death and resurrection), Jesus had to act and live perfectly.

Remember, it was the Holy Spirit, who settled on Jesus in the form of a Dove at Jesus's baptism, Who drove Jesus into the wilderness to fast for 40 days.

My real point in this thread is to figure out the reasons why Jesus fasted, that is, how His fasting was part of perfection... why He had to fast to be part of perfection. Then, once we figure it out, perhaps we can become more godly by acting out Jesus perfection, knowing what we are doing and why, rather than simply imitating some of His activity.

Bradley may be replaced, and probably even quickly, but the Leopards .. they will also be replaced, but instead of 2A6 it will be the ancient 1A5, after they are restored to a sane state. So, Ukraine should not rely too much on Western tanks, especially since Kiev has already become disillusioned with them, they say the old Soviet ones are better, easier to operate and live longer on the battlefield.

Riiiiiight. So how come Putin's glorious armed forces using the best-in-the-world soviet military equipment couldn't defeat Ukrainian forces that had very little Western equipment at the beginning, and still can't defeat Ukrainians with more Western equipment (albeit inferior if we were to believe your story). Something not adding up.

In the beginning, it wasn't Russia's goal to defeat. They were simply attempting to bring freedom to Russians and Ukrainians in the Donbas area and other nearby areas. Russia wasn't against the Ukrainian people freely making up their own mind. What they were against was the Ukrainian government using military means to destroy the freedom of the people, many of whom were Russians.

Now that the US has made a big deal about conquering Russia through Ukraine, things have changed. But one of the major things that has not changed is that Russia still doesn't want to do more than bring peace by taking out the evil Ukrainian government and military.

The point is, if both militaries killed each other off 1 person to 1 person, the Ukraine military would be long gone, and the land would be free to Russian takeover. As it is, in general, it's 6 or 7 Ukrainian soldiers (or whomever else they are getting from Nato) that are dying for every 1 Russian soldier.

Each sovereign voluntarily supports ideals that they individually hold. They voluntarily support these ideals with other people who hold to the same or similar ideals. The simple words in the Pledge, cause a person who recites the Pledge to convict himself/herself of their sovereignty... handing their sovereignty over to a government.

What is a government? It is a group of people who have pledged themselves to ideals in some words listed in the government. The word 'State' really means 'state of mind'. It is written down in constitutions, laws and other documents, because people forget the words of their ideals most of the time. Government is simply words that maintain a state of mind.

Wen you take a sovereign man/woman, and get him to pledge allegiance to something he has little knowledge about, even if he isn't serious about obeying all the stupidity in the government words, his honesty bends him in that direction, thereby eroding his sovereignty.

This is direct evidence against Ukraine. Maybe you, in contrast, have direct evidence against Russia, in addition to unfounded accusations? No, you don't have them, and no one has them, otherwise they would have been circulated by all Western media. There is no evidence that Russia did it and there is no motive for Russia to do it. The best argument against Russia is that if there had been no invasion at all, then the dam would have been intact. This is a ridiculous argument.

A himars hit that occurred more than 6 months ago is not a direct evidence against Ukraine. You don't seem to know what a direct evidence is, so I'll help you with that.
When someone gets murdered and that person was attacked some time before, this is not direct evidence against that former attacker. The fact that he tried to do it a year before doesn't mean he did it again and succeeded. A direct evidence would be if you had a murder weapon with his fingerprints or you'd found victims blood on his clothes.

That hit in 2022, or any other existing plans for it did not blow up the dam. Planted explosive devices did. Ukraine doesn't have a single missile capable of such destruction. It would require multiple hits to level the dam and there's evidence for a single explosion.

Even one test hit and a frank admission of it is much more than zero.

It used to be direct evidence and now it's more than zero. Your confidence seems to be decreasing with time.
Again, a test hit 6 months ago is not an evidence against Ukraine.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/why-patriots-shouldnt-pledge-allegiance
Though conservatives will be most aghast at this undertaking, the open-minded ones will soon discover they should be among the pledge's greatest critics.

Before I open fire, a brief explanation for international readers: The Pledge of Allegiance is recited by children across America at the start of start of each school day. It's also incorporated into many meetings held by federal, state and local governments and private groups as well.

Standing and facing the flag with hand over heart, one recites: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

A Government Loyalty Oath Written by a Socialist

Many who consider the pledge a cornerstone of conservative values will be surprised to learn it was written by a Christian Socialist named Francis Bellamy, who was run out of his pulpit at a Boston church for preaching against capitalism, and who called Jesus Christ a socialist.

...

I haven’t always felt this way. Conditioned by 13 years of public school, I continued sincerely reciting the pledge at various functions far into my adult life. Following my U.S. Army service, I’d even stand at attention with heels locked -- Bellamy would’ve been proud.

It was only after learning the true meaning of liberty and the animating spirit of our system of government that my mind was changed. If your experience is like mine, once you begin recognizing the pledge as the authoritarian loyalty oath that it is, you’ll soon develop disdain for its nearly every phrase.
