I’m ready. Let’s launch 🚀 Thanks for the tag! Love me some stonk comms!
😜
I see a 10 & 2 on clock gesture there.
Just got word that my old ship, the USS Eisenhower (CVN-69) will be departing with her battle group tomorrow, heading for the Med. That makes three carrier battle groups. Trump isn't fucking around. Had the same scenario when I was over there in the '80s - the Ike, the Nimitz and the Enterprise were all there. Man, I miss those days, but hope my shipmates are safe on their journey.
With all this business going on with Menedez, I wonder if he is arrested whether that will determine any future direction, although I don't think he is the first arrest.
Have a blessed day. I love this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d_oYr-P16M
I have been watching Billie The Kid on Amazon firestick. It is 1877 and involves secret societies. The Santafe Ring that is screwing small farmers and taking their land. Pretty interesting !
I saw an article that said chronic procrastination is a symptom of trauma response. I saved it for later.
That makes a lot of sense for me and my brother. I never thought about it before. I've always compared myself to Scarlet O'Hara mainly because I watched the movie so much growing.
I'll worry about that tomorrow
My dad was verbally abusive and still is difference now is I don't have to put up with it. Weirdly I work better under pressure. If traveling I do laundry and pack at the last minute. If I try to plan ahead it always backfires.

Darn. Makes me wish I hadn't deleted my comment so soon.
If only I had procrastinated a little.
Prayers for those suffering and gone. Lost my first love on Tue. 2 friends just had deaths in their immediate family. 2 of 3 vax related. Been a sad week.
Prayers for you my fren.
Our world is just a small handful for God, when our souls leave it they go to dwell in God's heart, may this comfort you. I am sorry for your losses.
Am praying with you similar prayers. 🙏

Have a blessed day.
After watching PJW's take on Israel lying about that chick being killed when her mom herself even says she is still alive, This dumb video showed up as a reccommended video:
https://odysee.com/@wolverine151:2/And_Their_Lies_7:6
The Babylonian Thalmud is a corruption. I am neither Jewish nor a Zionist, nor do I care what Jews may think of me as a Gentile. That said, I spot checked several of the supposed scriptures that flash on-screen in this video at the 0:42 mark: Baba Mezia 114b, Sanhedrin 57a, 74b, 107b, Soferim 15. Not one of these lists anything resembling what this video claims is said in the stupid Thalmud. Yet I have done the same for the Quran and have easily found much depravity, yet the statements listed that are claimed to be in the Torah I cannot find. I fully expected it to talk shit about Jesus, but that's not there either. I acknowledge that Judaism devolved into a supremacist religion and have no doubt of Zionist conspiracies and such, but I don't want to be put into a position of defending the Torah, which I do not believe in nor could I care less about. I have an open mind, so I double-checked these sources, only to come up empty-handed. I've done this before. If I look up some Thalmud scripture that's said to endorse murdering "goyim" but it ends up being about repaying debts instead, it leaves me a bit confused. I don't like being lied to, whether be it by Jews or anyone else. This sort of crap is stupid.
Here...go sniff around a bit. I went right to "Q" in the index and wasn't disappointed with several if the entries: https://combat.ws/S4/MILTERMS/MT-Q.HTM
E.G.- Q-SHIP : a WARSHIP camouflaged as a noncombatant vessel with its armament and other defensive equipment hidden, arranged with special provisions for quickly unmasking its weapons; also called "decoy ship". Also, an anti-submarine platform disguised as a merchant ship with its guns, depth charges, and other fighting equipment concealed so as to invite SUBMARINE attack. See DECOY, CAMO, DECEPTION, ASW, GHOST SHIP. [nb: the Geneva Convention specifically prohibits entrapment, such as an ambush during a truce]

Are we asleep to this? Distracted?
No... we're busy taking care of what we, as individuals, can actually control... like our own back yard and neighborhood, family etc.
We're also keeping our equipment clean , adjusted & in tip top shape, practicing, training and preparing, like any good boy scout should - and following the plan, until instructed to do otherwise.
Eternal vigilance and preparation, covering YOUR OWN territory, isn't doing nothing.
That will be hard for urban people. I was raised in a city but left when I was 27, the voice within was shouting at me to do that. I think those of us in rural settings have it down pat, but to help our sisters and brothers in urban areas is something that should be organized, hopefully there are places of worship that are doing that.
We told our suburban and urban peeps to "come on down" if the shtf.
You need people... and they need you. We got the room - even if you gotta sleep on a cot - now everyone can get a good night's rest, swapping overwatch in shifts and pitching in with the slop and washing up.
It's hard to do on your own... and not everyone can be lead dog or stay in their castle (near the city) - so adjust expectations accordingly.
And now a word from Hank
Excellent response.
#PreparedByGod
Lots of fear prawn lately...
There seems to be a push to somehow scare us with this border invasion sleeper cell horse puckey story....
Get comfy.
Suit up in the full armor of God.
Realize your eternal nature and relax.

A powerful observation via Neil Oliver
I agree fren
I agree! There’s a lot of fear porn going on, and people forget we have guns. Do United States of America has more guns than the rest of the entire world.
The reason why things went South for Israel this week, is because number one… Their own government allowed it, and two… Because they don’t have the right to bear arms the same way Americans do.
Now we hear stories about them, loosening their gun laws in arming there people. Well, it’s a little late for that don’t you think? If the enemy knows that you bear arms 24 seven, an attack would be foolish. Same goes for anybody tries to do any uprisings here in our country. It’s not going to end well for them.
I've noticed this narrative being pushed, and I'm wondering where the basis (aka empirical data) is, or even if it exists.
Hot Take on this Israel nonsense:
First Trump did his Tour de Everywhere and individually China, north Korea, UAE, Saudi Arabia and others all bended the knee. The global network was established. Literally 99% of everyone, our ally. United by the stand against evil.
Then we started taking out our targets, one by one, by proxy.
The mainstream media couldn't ignore us any longer when we, under cover of Russia, liberated Ukraine.
WE ARE SAVING ISRAEL FOR LAST. SPECIFIC REASON NOT MENTIONED A SINGLE TIME
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???????
TOTAL FUCKING CONTROL
MOVIE ALMOST OVER
Q NEVER ONCE MENTIONED 'KHAZAR,' 'KHAZARIA,' 'KHAZARIAN,' DESPITE THIS BEING THE NAME OF THE ENEMY WHOSE HOMELAND IS UKRAINE, THE ENEMY WHO LARGELY REPLACED THE JEWISH PEOPLE DURING WW2 AND BEFORE AND AFTER, THE ENEMY WHO PAINTED THEMSELVES AS THE NOBLE AND LOVELY JEWISH PEOPLE(MANY OF WHOM HAVE GIVEN THEIR HEARTS TO JESUS), THE ENEMY WHOSE FILTH GAVE RISE TO THE GERMAN NATIONALIST MOVEMENT WHICH THEY THEN USED AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR THEIR OWN CRIMES.
'NAZI' WAS A TERM HITLER DESPISED, FOR IT DESCRIBED THE HEART OF HIS SECRET POLICE, THE ASHKENAZI PEOPLE WHO HAD PAINTED THEMSELVES JEWISH TO ESCAPE RUSSIA MURDERING THEIR ENTIRE COUNTRY BECAUSE OF THEIR HORRIFIC CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY TAKING PLACE IN THEIR THOUSANDS-OF-YEARS-OLD DEATH CULT.
RUSSIA MADE THEM CHOOSE RELIGIOUS CONVERSION OR DEATH.
THEY CHOSE JUDAISM AND NEVER ACTUALLY CONVERTED TO IT, INSTEAD OPTING TO SEEK/DESTROY/REPLACE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE, ATTEMPTING TO FOOL THE MASSES INTO GIVING THEM THE RESPECT THE JEWISH PEOPLE DESERVE.
LONG LIVE THE USA
LONG LIVE RUSSIA

Thanks - I wasn't privy to the whole Awan thing. I had to research it.
For others, just search for Awan on this board and follow the links and crumbs to get a rudimentary understanding.
I see used car lots in a new light now...
There is an Alvi Alwan on LinkedIn that lists Alvi Alwan as an account manager for Amazon, Pakistan. Not sure if it is old or someone else, but it is there.
NAZI was an abbreviation for the party name "Nationalsozialist" and has nothing to do with Ashkenazi Jews. And "Ashkenaz" was a biblical character whose name was used to describe Jews who settled alone the Rhine.
Not sure where you are getting these wacky stories from.
🔥
Edit: this should be a post imo, thought provoking, worthy of discussion and/or research
lol u/PepeSee no worries. But I agree, would love some people to expand further on this. Really seems noteworthy or some discussion and more research imo. Maybe a Mod could see this and post it if they see fit
Matthew 20:16????-So the last will be first, and the first will be last'? Regarding Save Israel for Last. In the dimensions we do not see.
Oh I hope so
Maybe this is what the Bible is referencing, then.
We have established dominance of The Plan over the entire globe. Israel is truly last.
For so long we lived in ignorance of The Cabal. Even myself. I wasn't really a big conspiracy theorist growing up. From my life experience I knew that the CIA was in charge of the street gang that is in charge of the other street gangs, so I wasn't too worried about feeling unsafe due to gangs(govt VIP).
However I knew about more erm, shady shit the CIA was involved with, at least I did after I started digging into every government agency after the sketchiness Snowden uncovered. Found it kind of weird but like, that's their job right? They need to know what happens when you torture someone and give them LSD on a regular basis for years, right? Like, they must have given the test subjects soooo much money and therapy! So I thought. Voting for fucking Obama. Still no idea about spiritual ANYTHING.
I became vegan. I started meditating. 2016 election coming round.
I WANTED BERNIE. THE ENTIRE INTERNET WANTED BERNIE(who we would later discover to be a shitbag globalist). EVERY AUTISTIC FUCK ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET COULD AGREE ON ONE THING AND THAT WAS THAT WE WANTED BERNIE SANDERS. A LITTLE SPARROW LANDED ON HIS FUCKING PODIUM AS HE WAS SPEAKING. THE SPARROW LOOKED INTENTLY AT HIM. HE LOOKED INTENTLY AT THE SPARROW. THE INTERNET IMPLODED AS EVERY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD DEMOCRAT FELL AT THE FEET OF SANDERS.
AND WE GOT CHEATED. OHHHHHH THE RAGE. THE HEARTFELT DEEPSET ABSOLUTE BOILING RAGE AT THE AUDACITY OF THE DEMOCRATS TO RIG THE PRIMARY VIA THEIR STUPID FUCKING SUPERDELEGATES.
Hillary Goddamn Clinton. And Bernie, forced to endorse her so he can keep playing Democrat! The bylaws of their political party dictating he HAS TO?!?!? That fucking Dolores Umbridge looking ass bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The entire autist army raging with an absolute fire at the system's flatout refusal to give us what we wanted... we started digging. Digging for any tiny way Sanders could get the nomination back..... any possible way.
AND THEN COMES WIKILEAKS. We have all her fucking emails!!!!! Hahahahahahaha fuck you bitch let's dig through here and try to find something embarrassing or technically illegal!!!!!! Hahahahahaha 4chan and Wikileaks will be the end of you bitch!!!!!! Holy shit they're actually doing illegal shit.... holy shit wait what? Who is this John Podesta talking about random weird shit? Wait wait this is the slang the weirdos use for PEDO SHIT?!?!?!?!? People in POWER doing this shit?!?!?!? What the FUCK? Here we thought it was just mom's basement LOSERS into this shit en masse, but it's literally the people right there at the top of the government who have access to shit like planes and infinite money and authority????? Not only should she not be president this shit is bad!!!!! Like super bad!!!!!!!!!!!!
We began looking for a brick to throw through their goddamn window. Our party super corrupt, it was gonna have to be a Republican. As much as we hated these do-nothing, know-nothing, miserable limp-dick faggots we needed their NON-RIGGED primary to beat this Hillary bitch.
The brick we selected was Donald John Trump, for the simple reason that he was the heaviest, most offensive brick. Ohhhhhh, we selected someone that went against every single thing our party cared about. Yes it was an absolute troll of a pick. We picked who we deemed the MOST OFFENSIVE to the entire Democrat party. Because at the end of the day, Democrats don't win elections, WE DO GODDAMMIT.
Our precious party of weirdos needed a good harsh REMINDING of who was in charge. So FUCK THEM IT'S DONALD.
This idea had a good bit of momentum, but still many naysayers and hesitants remained. However. There would come a moment which would alter the entire course of human history.
All of the autists, at least at this point in history, adored 4chan. We lived on 4chan. We breathed drank and ate practically nothing but 4chan. Our community of freaks was spread across the globe. This platform, or any platform that doesn't restrict the postings of its users, is the backbone of the global autist network. Yeah we like. Sense each other. Idk.
Anyways. Every posting is assigned its own unique number. The numbers are iterative. There is a post #1 and a post #385638104, on any "image board"(style of website) that uses this format. Now, on a site like 4chan where people are rapidly posting one after another, the number, or at least the end digits, are essentially random. So, people would be proud when they managed to post at just the right time to get their post to end with 2 identical numbers at the end of their post number, even more pride if it was three, everyone is happy for you if you get 4, and 5 same numbers is just godlike. They are called dubs, trips, quads and quints by the community, respectively.
I'M GOING TO TIE THIS BACK IN I PROMISE.
Now, when a "big" number is coming up, such as like for example, post number 3522222222, a phenomenon known as "GET" threads develop. These are conversations on an image board that pertain ONLY, or in the least PRIMARILY to GETting the lucky number. People will post and post and post in the thread, only attempting to get the significant post number.
The more significant the number, the more truth/authority the post is supposed to have, in our quirky little autistic culture.
Anyways, the number 7 holds a special significance on 4chan. It is seen as the luckiest number on 4chan, by some kind of unseen tradition. Getting a 'dub' 77 is way cooler than getting a post ending in 22 for instance. And the ULTIMATE 7get was coming up.... right, I think to myself. We call those 7gets. No other number is used as an adjective to "get" in this way on 4chan. No one talks about 3gets or 4gets. Feels weird even typing it. But a 7get is significant, be it a dub, a trip, whatever.
BUT THE ULTIMATE 7GET WAS UPON US. The number was getting sooooo close, we were seeing numbers like 77777527423 and absolutely freaking out wondering what kind of silly, meaningless or mind-boggling bit of information would be contained by post 77777777777.
You know what the fuck that post said?
"The next president of the United States will be Donald Trump."
The internet the fuck imploded. The small movement to defy the Democrats with the most offensive Republican we could find went from a grassroots campaign to THIS IS HAPPENING literally instantly. Literally instantly.
I tell you all this in order to say. I could write quite a thick book on what has happened to get us all to this point. First, we thought we had a shot at control. Then, we thought yeah, we picked the right man, our boy Donald Trump is in control. Then we thought, Q is in control.
BUT AT A CERTAIN POINT IT IS JUST TOO MANY COINCIDENCES. TOO MANY COINCIDENCES FOR IT TO BE OUR POWER, TOO MANY COINCIDENCES FOR IT TO BE TRUMP, TOO MANY FOR IT TO EVEN BE Q.
WE ALL HAVE HAD A FRONT ROW SEAT TO SOMETHING EQUALLY ENCOURAGING AND TERRIFYING
AND THAT IS, THAT
GOD IS IN CONTROL.
AND NOT IN THE SENSE OF YOUR CORNY FUCKING BAPTIST PREACHER OR SOME OLD SOUTHERN GRANNY HARPING ON ABOUT SHIT SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.
NO. GOD(it feels like those three letters could never convey the power I am trying to tell you of) NOT ONLY EXISTS BUT IS IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL, ALL OF THE TIME.
WE ARE LIVING IN BIBLICAL TIMES.
SOON ALL WILL SEE AND BE UNABLE TO DENY TRUTH.
Hey u/TDanonDJTJR2024 see you are talking meditation, and the 7 post being God as a form of synchronicity in a sense and the universe unfolding itself. I think we may hold some of the same "beliefs" as I too am not a pastor or preacher listener, so my question here is what is your experience with psychedelic's, if any?
Wow, I have never heard that about the 4Chan post 77777777! Amazing
AMEN.
Reposting my question from yesterday, since I did not get a satisfactory answer:
Taking our mind off heavier political issues plaguing the world, I have directed my attention to the culture wars, which is getting badly neglected by this board.
Looks like, in the aftermath of the conclusion of the writers strikes and the economic storms facing Hollywood and LA in general, many of the animation jobs over there are getting outsourced overseas due to drastic increases in costs of hiring LA animators.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDIsgfDnmpM
What makes me confused is, do we really need that much fluid (and expensive) animation to entertain children, which is the majority market for these animation works? I remember the older cartoons (probably produced in the 70's) from Sesame Street and School House Rock very well, examples below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTr_HS_O4Ek
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8lRKCw2_Pk
In fact, the multiplication tables sung in School House Rock does a far better job in teaching me multiplication than my school, and it stuck to me this day when I need to multiply stuff in my head.
Back to the main point, I can't see how these iconic pieces of animation are that expensive to create. Factoring the amount of digital tools that are available to us now, a lot of these projects can become one-man shows and still be a hit with the main audience of kids. What is driving the need for more "fluid" animation for an audience that might not appreciate it as much?
No. We don't need any of it. I grew up watching broadcast television in all 6 to 8 channels of it's glory and was exposed to programming for adults I'd never have viewed growing up in this era. Lean times.
People 10 years younger than me are now infantilized super hero worshipping puppets because they didn't have to make the tough choices between Meet the Press and The 700 Club reruns on Sunday morning.
Me. This is absolutely me. But in a grandmotherly way with less potty mouth. Lol.
It all started with my daughter walking in my room and saying, “Mom, you gotta check this man out. His name is Bernie Sanders.
And so it began …
Jeremiah 8:8
How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us"? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
Preachers following sectarian doctrine and not following the Holy Spirit.
Learning to follow the Holy Spirit is the most important thing to the new born Christian.
Isaiah 1:2-20
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: “Children have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me. 3 The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master's crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.” 4 Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. 5 Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. 6 From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil. 7 Your country lies desolate; your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence foreigners devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners. 8 And the daughter of Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a lodge in a cucumber field, like a besieged city. 9 If the Lord of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we should have been like Sodom, and become like Gomorrah. 10 Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom! Give ear to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomorrah! 11 “What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats. 12 “When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts? 13 Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations— I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. 15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you, even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, 17 learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause. 18 “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. 19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; 20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
This trips me out. I was reading this very passage yesterday. What are the odds? Thank you for this.
FWIW it seems to me that God wanted His people to be in a heartfelt right relationship with Him as opposed to a cold religious exercise of non-worship. I have no idea what you may do with that thought but may God bless your attentiveness to His Word!
