As long as you teach the next generation about freedom and you teach classic philosophy, the United States will carry on.
Freedom does not come from paper. It comes from the soul, it comes from God. If you yourself are not free, you cannot free others.
The people of the world have put themselves into subservience to the USA by being reliant on the USA for their economies. But now the people of the USA have become enslaved to debt, retirement accounts, healthcare, and social status. How do you expect to have a free society when people cannot free themselves from their own mental shackles?
I am predicting that we are seeing the gradual collapse of the US federal government and the majority of governing institutions, including the dollar. Even if you have an IRA, don't expect anything to be there when you retire. Those stocks and bonds are hardly even paper at this point. Good luck claiming it has any value when the courts collapse.
Your community is all you have on this Earth. Treat your community well and they might treat you well. Withhold from your community, and your community will likely withhold from you.
People will believe anyone is a scientist if they are WASPy and put on a white lab coat. Under the right conditions, about 2/3 of the population will carry out commands of the scientist akin to someone under hypnosis.
See the Milgram Experiment.
Nothing is different between the people of the Wiemar Republic and the people of the USA. They make science their idol, and then are surprised that they end up goose-stepping to the popular ideas of the day.
BLM doesn't understand felony murder nor conspiracy charges. Lol.
If BLM people start firebombing a police station, that's a felony. If the police kill anyone in a reasonable process of resolving the criminal behavior, the felon is charged at minimum 10 years in prison for indirectly causing the death of another. And those who impede an arrest are also guilty of a crime, and therefore if any live, they will potentially serve time in prison as well. They could also be charged with conspiracy to commit the original crime, and therefore be charged with the original crime and resulting crimes just for coordinating to hold up the police.
"Well, it still needs to be independent. We get to choose who audits"
"We're paying for it, aren't we?"
"Yes, but we're allowing you to pay for it."
"No. The court is allowing this to happen. You merely refused to pay for it."
"Exactly. We think it's best that you put your money towards this because you want it so bad."
"Yes, so get out of the way."
"No. You have to use our auditors."
"Then you pay for it."
"No."
"Ok, then deal with our auditors. Or take it up with the judge."
When God spoke through Jeremiah, He said that He would not deliver the Israelites from the Babylonians because their sins were overwhelming. He said that it was better that some die by the sword than live under their false idols. So he said that everyone gets to choose: die by the sword, die by pestilence, or live in slavery. But it is said in another place that those who die by the sword are blessed over those who die from famine.
Remember that if our day comes and we must choose our fate, that God's plan is not our own. We submit to him alone.
Until that day, we must at the very least arm our fellow citizens with the Word and to prepare them to discard their false idols. Those of us who would rather die by the sword, should learn to use the sword to protect the weak from abuse. But also realize that we should perhaps be prepared to cast off our Earthly nationality. Our eternal President is Jesus, and we temporarily reside under the Earthly government that is not our home but our temporary residence. We should protect the righteous, but should not blindly follow any flag nor idol.
But also, we may be in for a lot of retribution for what "we" let happen under centrist leadership for the past 50 years.
Arming ISIS, CIA drug/gun running, PATRIOT Act, gun bans in minority neighborhoods, student loan crisis (we let the universities call the price, the banks give the loans, and the government/you insured the loans for free).
The population has been worshipping false idols for too long, and they have forsaken God's teachings. For example, making an idol of medicine. Also, making an idol of stocks and retirement. Making an idol of social status. Making an idol of academia. Jeremiah says how God lets crisis come upon the people and lets them "pray" to their idols to save them, only to watch their idols turn to ash. God lets their kids fall into misery so that they may see how foolish their parents were in worshipping idols.
The Dems are saying that the Republicans are trying to use the audits to intimidate Democrat voters by making a list of voters for party partisans.
These people live in a fantasy world. It's like talking to a Chinese national about China. You won't pull them from their ruling party because they don't want that drama even if it's the right thing to do.
She straight threatened that guy. Wild moment.
But she didn't realize that she wasn't dealing with a Smollet like she expected. Seems like that guy has already lost his life a couple times.
Then the woman complains that people are hot headed and uppity. Fucking racist.
Journalists are usually morons. If you meet them in real life, you will be more disappointed because you will realize that it wasn't just a meme or a joke. You'll be saddened because you'll think that surely they have worked on interesting things or that they like to seek information, but you'll find out that they actually just like to write stories and rub elbows with powerful people. They will be the most arrogant dumb person you talk to all week.
It's mostly fuckin white kids doing the rioting. It's the children of the city officials. The police know that the Dems are handing the keys of the city to their kids and letting them terrorize the city with their multiracial friends.
The rich kids get street cred, and the thugs get power. It's a win for everyone but you. Especially a loss for minority families who are now having to ditch their proud ethnic neighborhoods to avoid being overrun by gangs.
Gosh. No direct sources anywhere in that article. The only pictures are completely innocent text messages of a guy who lost his drivers license.
Are you retarded or malicious?
You guys are worse than QAnon. "CNN says anonymous sources tell them that the FBI got information on Matt Gaetz and that he's totally going down for having a CIA sex island with underage girls."
In theory, yes. But it is better to be polite, even when demanding an attorney and refusing to talk.
And also, there are magic words to get an attorney and have them stop questioning you. You have to request an attorney, not just say you need one.
The autopsy report showed that. It's not a surprise to anyone who is familiar with people who do narcotics.
I called it that he accidentally took a speed ball to the grave.
Of course he didn't intentionally do meth and fent at the same time. He took some pills and the dealer didn't dose out the fent properly. Fent requires laboratory procedure to dose it out safely, so it's likely that the dealer fucked it up and gave him dangerous pills.
Happened to a friend of my friend. They didn't survive.
You know how many times God destroyed the Israelites for worshipping pagan idols? Please stop with the Easter bunny. The White House is showing fealty to the Easter bunny instead of God on Easter, and it should make us sick.
Sure, the Easter bunny is a nice fun little game on Easter, but it has nothing to do with Jesus. It's a game made from pagan idols for springtime.
You think this is a joke. But God doesn't fuck around when it comes to giving him the reverence he deserves. Jeremiah talks about how God gave the Israelites to the Babylonians because of their insolence. But when Jeremiah spoke to the Israelites it was already too late. Their choices were either death by combat, death from disease and famine, or slavery for 70 years. Some who rebelled further were tortured by the Babylonians and their children killed in front of them.
Drop the Easter bunny, folks. For your kids' sake if not for your own.
You have so much to learn about this world.
When you work hard to sustain your Earthly body, and yet it fails you, I just hope you will come back to Jesus and repent your foolishness.
You only see Jesus as evil because you don't know actual hardship or evil. Go live amongst humans instead of spending all day reading about them.
If you really think Jesus is evil, then go talk to people struggling and help show them the way.
If you are frustrated that Jesus won't approve of you having an orgy, then go have an orgy. It's a horrible idea, but you obviously see yourself as wiser than anyone who came before you. So let your mind take you to where you want to go. But don't blame God for what happens when you rebel.
The Garden of Eden was not without labor. God instructed Adam to grow a farm and orchard. However it was without drought, disease, invaders, jealous neighbors, mortgages, guilt, blackmail, taxes, and death.
But Adam and Eve were not satisfied with what God had provided them, so they entertained sin. They were not satisfied with their farm, and they wanted to know what else they could get. They wanted innovation, and so they got obsolescence and rust. They wanted a kingdom, so they became enslaved and raised the kids of others. They wanted riches, and so they got debt, jealousy, theft, and rot. They wanted an enhanced life, and so they got disease, betrayal, and death.
If you doubt God, I encourage you to get to know God by reading the Bible.
If you reject God, I think it's wise to live the most hedonistic life you can afford to live. Get busy living or get busy dying. The faster you become buried in guilt, the faster you will seek Christ's redemption. The faster you become enslaved to addiction, employers, bankers, lovers, blackmailers, bullies, pride, and the government, the sooner you will plead for Christ to set you free. Try to prove me wrong ASAP. But know that you will have to face your slavers even after Christ sets you free, and they will be angry when you proclaim your freedom. It will be a glorious struggle to overcome your oppressors by the grace of God, but it will be filled with hardship and perhaps death. It's much easier to get to know God early and inherit his wisdom and wealth before you take on the debts of your sin.
And it's funny that you say the doctrine is the torture rack. The doctrine is not condemnation. The Word of God is the wisdom to avoid sin and thereby avoid the debts and disease it brings. The torture device we point to is the cross. It's the perfect way to condemn someone for their crimes. It puts you where everyone can see your naked body and mock you. Your sins are labeled on it, so they can point and say to your face that you deserve it. Your lovers will deny ever loving you, and they will mock your genitals, if they even pass by. Your parents can come and weep, for their last name is borne on the cross with you, and they weep for failing to protect you from your sins. Your employer does not even show up because they are embarrassed by you, not that you sinned, but that you have been punished in public and they don't want to be publicly associated with criminality. You will beg for food, but the passersby cannot reach you. They will instead throw stones at you and tell you to shut up for your screams are unbearable to listen to. You will beg them to stone you to death for your hands and feet are burning from infection and each breath strains your wounds, your exhausted muscles, and your stretched ligaments. Your body slumps forward, but your hands are bound to the wood by big nails, so your arms start being ripped from your shoulders. You beg to see your kids one last time, but your family cannot bear to see you like this, even to calm you. Eventually your only friends will be the criminals on their crosses, the flies that bite your face, and the vultures that await your death. You will probably drown before your start to hallucinate from thirst.
We point to the cross.
The cross is what we deserve for our sin. It represents all of the different punishments rolled into one. Jesus takes it upon himself so that we may be justified in heaven. The ultimate oppressor in this world is death, and Jesus makes it such that we do not have to fear it.
We point to the cross to convey that we cannot be enslaved by death.
I'm waiting for Crowder to have a "people at work" segment where they test out whether tasers can kill. And in the segment, the lady employee yells "TASER" and shoots the intern with a gun. Then she says, "oh shoot!" And then repeatedly yells "TASER" as she shoots dead the witnesses including the camera man.
