^^^ A person who fails a lot, but keeps on going, is really a great success. Why? Because he has learned a lot of things that don't work. This means that there are fewer things to 'try' before he has direct success. The failure knowledge lets him do a better job with his success.

If Biden's success is to run the USA into the ground, I'd say he is having reasonable success at it.

One important consideration regarding 'enough' question is, what is money? In history, all kinds of nations used all kinds of things as money... including salt. If we only think of money as the cash and cards in our pockets, we are limiting ourselves to our own harm.

For those of us who understand that money is anything of value that can be traded for something else, congratulations. This is the first step to gaining more stuff of value.

Now all we have to do is figure out which 'things' will increase in value with regard to other things, before we trade away our things of value that are going down in value.

The case against the idea of kicking Russia out of the UN is this...

The UN is a big forum where nations of the world meet to discuss all kinds of things. After discussion, the nations might decide to act together regarding some part of the world. Often such actions help people in places where natural disasters strike.

If we kick Russia out of the UN, we won't get Russia's input. But consider, when you include Siberia, Russia is the largest nation in the world. Why would anybody NOT want to hear what the largest nation in the world has to say?

To understand what is happening regarding corruption, we need to first understand what corruption is.

The greatest form of corruption is to not love God above all things... and the second is to not love other people. Corruption is in all of us. But, as bad as things might look, it is being corrected by God.

Let corruption be gradually corrected in yourself. Continually seek God and what He is all about... while at the same time, helping other people.

because we, humans, will not be able to live if the earth changes above 80C temperature, we cannot live under water, we will not be able to live without food sources in the form of plants or animals when they also die due to ecosystem damage here and there.  We are the ones who have an interest in survival, not the earth. human presence means nothing to this planet.  long before humans existed, the earth was fine.
COVID and the wars and the natural catastrophes has changed the overall face of the world
And the world needs healing and there is a lot we need to do to save the planet.
if we don't save the planet, our are we going to survive?
The planet Earth needs to be clean and if we don't try our best to ensure that we put certain things in other then we might end up making the worse decision.
We need to join hands together and make sure that we don't make a big mistakes that would make our generation to regret our actions.

We can't save the planet. Why not? Because we can't even save ourselves.

The planet has millions of cubic miles. But we are so tiny that you could easily fit all the volume of all people into 2 cubic miles. We are nothing.

However, we exist. That means that the One Who made the planet, also made us. We need to look to Him to find salvation for ourselves. He will take care of the planet.

As for God, God requires perfection in all of us. Since we can't do perfection, we need to accept the Jesus perfection that God wants to give us. If Putin accepts, he is forgiven. If you don't accept, you aren't forgiven.

Part of being forgiven is to forgive others. Since you aren't forgiving Putin, you probably don't have forgiveness and salvation. Die with the rest of the wicked unbelievers... or will you change and believe God?

I have read it somewhere that Putin is having some serious health issues but in his recent meeting with turkish and other leaders
HE looked amazing and there was nothing wrong with him
Putin announced the war - he survived the sentions and he made it to the end. Job well done

So, what end might you be talking about? The end of the day? The end of some meeting? The end of his life; did he die?

Putin - like all the other government leaders of the world - is in power because of two things:
1. God's direct action and manipulation;
2. The ability of these people to manipulate the things of the universe that God has set in place.

For each of us, we lose the universe when we die. It's like the universe isn't there for us any longer. But God made us and doesn't want us to be lost. And to keep from being lost, we need to seek and find Him and His mercy in Jesus.

God manipulates everything so that all people have a chance to be drawn to Him... even Putin and all the leaders of the world... as well as everybody else. Most of us reject His plan but try on our own. Doesn't work that way. That way we are lost.

Think of it.. had zelensky gave up the donbask region. (Crimea was a gift to them afterall) had Putin and zelensky sat for a solution some 4years ago..

Zelensky was elected in 2019.

But this was not a feasible solution for many reasons other than calendar. Donbas is not Zelensky's to give - Ukraine is not a kingdom where the king owns the country. He (like other government officials) is constitutionally obligated to protect territorial integrity of Ukraine and to do otherwise would be treason. Also giving in to blackmail never works. You give Donbas to Putin today, he'll want Lviv, Poland, Germany, Portugal, and the state of Oregon next.

Instead of trying to appease murderous dictators we should be grateful to Ukrainians for trying to stop one.
The only peace can stop the Russian and Ukraine crisis
The leaders of each country should think about the people and the innocent lives they are killing - they affect are long lasting and there is no end to it

Big Money is behind the US push in Ukraine. And Big Money doesn't care about people... only more money.

A sudden reduction to $0.00 in the value of the US dollar would stop the war over night

By adopting the same method of analysis, America and the West did not win any war either. The Afghanistan war, the Korean war, and even the invasion of Iraq and the Syrian war, which both sides fought by proxy on Syrian territory.

At least, Russia can be compared to its American counterpart in that neither of them fought a war on their own soil. During World War II Russia was facing German enemy forces on its soil.

The wars you all mentioned were not during the last century, but during the previous century.
I agree what you have mentioned about American and Afghan war
What a bad day in the history of American Forces - the exit was horrible - people were sticked to the plane and they fell off the plane and died.
Now USA again wants to enter Afghanistan

... And any country that stops using the US dollar in world trade. And they don't want to enter for anything good. We'll see. Oh, btw, it isn't the USA. It is simply some government usurpers who happen to have Big Bank money behind them.

Biden stopped Trump from being President, Trumptards will forever attack him at all costs.  Which fits perfectly with the Putin narrative.


Biden didn't do anything. Big Money used all kinds of vote/election fraud to do it. And we see the results, below. But big money doesn't care. And loads of Dem-tards don't understand, even after they are living in the streets.

EDIT: I would have said Biden-tards rather than Dem-tards, but there aren't loads of Biden anything except criminal activity.


Inflation under Biden, Democrats costing Americans more than $11,000 a year per household


Yes, that extra pinch you are feeling in your bank account and checkbook at the end of the pay period is real.

Thanks to the inflationary spikes under our fake president, Joe Biden, and a Democrat-controlled Congress, Americans are paying a lot more for their basic necessities than they were a year ago — like $11,500 more, according to a new analysis.

According to a study by NerdWallet that was published in August, Americans have to spend that much more today than they did in 2020 if they want to maintain the same standard of living, The Epoch Times reported.

The firm’s analysts said that 2020 was the “last full year when inflation was relatively stable” — around 1.23 percent. Last month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the inflation rate stood at 8.3 percent, down from a June high of around 9.1 percent.

Inflation has been above 5 percent for more than a year, according to BLS stats. And it’s been above 8 percent since March.



“In all of 2020, American households spent $61,300, on average,” the analysts wrote. “This number includes everything we spend our money on housing, food, entertainment, clothing, transportation, and everything else. In 2022, it stands to reach $72,900, a difference of more than $11,500 if consumers want to maintain the same standard of living.”

The analysts also said the annual cost is just an average estimate, and therefore, one that’s “exact to a very few.”

“Those who earn (and therefore spend) more will see more dramatic dollar increases. Those who earn less may see less dramatic dollar jumps, but the impact of these rising prices could be more significantly felt,” they noted.

The Epoch Times went on to note:

According to analysts, total monthly household expenditures are up by $961 from 2020, while spending on groceries is up by $101. Shelter is up by $120 and household utilities are up by $70 per household, while gasoline has risen by a whopping $209.

There isn't any Ukraine advantage. Russia won't stop until the whole world is shut down, if that is what it takes.

Russian nukes are far superior to all others... even those of the US. And the Russian system is in place so that if one nuclear missile fires, the rest of them will fire automatically.

Beyond that, nobody knows. If the US has away to stop Russian missiles and nukes, we don't know. If Russia has a way to stop US missiles and nukes, we don't know.

There is no Ukrainian advantage except to get out. Why get out? Because when the nukes fly, Ukraine will be the first to go.

You and I don't have to worry about Covid the actual disease. What we need to worry about is Covid the mental disease of the people. They live and die, believing that the vaxx will help them. What we need to do is keep ourselves as separate as we can, so that we don't catch either of these Covid diseases from them.

I pity those people who have a spouse who believes in Covid while they don't. Their spouse might get all the shots, and they won't get any. And as their spouse catches whatever disease the shots give them... how do you live with a spouse like that, and not get the disease from them yourself?

The best we can do is not give up... warn people, especially friends... try to save up some kinds of property that will hold value for when the masses die off... and, especially, turn to God and pray for His help.

Banking has finally figured out a way to keep banks from failing.

The nonsense has a simpler mathematical explanation. Since the 2007 crisis many banks failed, the smaller and weaker ones. That does not mean that it is impossible for any of them to fail, but it is much more difficult. In addition, central bank policies help them.

Sorry you are having such a bad day, but you would have to get into the failure of each bank that failed to see why. However, thanks for agreeing with me in the area of 'central bank policies', sort of.

A lot of the failures come about because the bankers are too greedy, and make dangerous deals. Or they become a bit upset when they finally realize how corrupt the banking system is, and they simply let their bank fail as a way out.

But I am a bit curious. Why are you picking on this topic of mine? Are you afraid that the 'system' might fail because this info is coming out into the open? If that's the case, all you are doing is helping with the advertising.

Or is it the fact that I proved that God exists in some other topic, and you just don't like God very much?

Or what?

P2PECS, a perfect example of somebody who doesn't what to know how it works.

I do understand it, and that's why I don't believe what you say. We are in a forum that was born in good measure against the banking system. Just as this that I just said is true, what you say mixes truth and falsehood and some statements are outright lies.
General statements about lies are simply blab. You are just like millions of Americans who don't see what's really going on. Or you are a banker who has been brainwashed. No problem. Having faith is a good thing. Believe what you want to believe.

Tom Schauf, the UCC, and the banker's manuals show what is really going on. "Two Faces of Debt" stumbles through the things we disagree on. It seems to say that both things are happening. Tom simply puts it into chronological perspective, which the pamphlet doesn't... very well.

"Modern Money Mechanics" is harder to read. You have to sit down and think it through. But both of these Federal Reserve Bank money manuals state what I have been saying, right out in the open.



Actually, it's happening right now. Lots of people default on so-called loans. It doesn't hurt the bank at all.

You have no fucking clue.

Banking has finally figured out a way to keep banks from failing. Between themselves, the government, and international entities, they simply have "loaned" enough new money into existence, that, since they are all tied under the Fed, there is no way a bank has to fail, except that it is part of a cover-up... to make it look good in the eyes of the local people. That isn't a failure, btw. That's simply damage control.

In other words, supporting things like Ukraine armament in the war, only exists as long as people believe that fiat has value. So, continue to believe the lies. But also look at the truth.

I don't know which is more pathetic, the OP's nonsense or the other guy asking for a one liner.

The nonsense mixes correct ideas with incorrect ideas, as it usually happens with this kind of arguments, because if they were clamorously incorrect nobody would believe them.

But because of the wording on the paperwork, what you really did was to prepay your loan, just like you can pay your car off early.[/size]

Ehhh no. So what follows is incorrect as well.

Sorry about not being brief. For people who don't understand any of this, it can't be brief.

For those of us who understand it, it's clear that it's too long on purpose.

P2PECS, a perfect example of somebody who doesn't what to know how it works.

And that is the problem with millions of Americans. They simply can't believe that government and the banks would do something like this to them. So, they go on and give their labor away to the banks, and we have wars and trouble from it all around the world, because they made the banks and government rich enough that they can do just about anything... even give $billions away to Ukraine.

However, like people are reading the ingredients more and more, on the labels on grocery products they buy at the store, even so these same people are starting to read more about all aspects of life. Will there come a time when they stop enriching the banks for nothing?

Actually, it's happening right now. Lots of people default on so-called loans. It doesn't hurt the bank at all. The bank already made their money, by selling discounted promissory notes on the various markets. Ah, but, we could go on forever. Simply search on "Tom Schauf, bank freedom" to get the info.
