John 13:2-5
 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4 rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Plants Rely on Quantum Mechanics BY FRANK SHERWIN, D.SC. (HON.) * | THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 2025 Scientists will probably never fully understand photosynthesis as additional research uncovers even more fascinating mysteries.1,2 ICR’s Dr. Jeffery Tomkins gives an overview of this incredible biochemical procedure:

Photosynthesis is a highly complex process in plants that produces carbohydrates from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight using a light-to-electron energy conversion process that operates at near-perfect levels of quantum efficiency. The light energy harvesting process to fuel this amazing system starts with the absorption of sunlight. In the machinery of the plant cell, the light-based energy is rapidly transferred from a specialized antenna network to a reaction center, where a charge transfer process converts photon-based light energy into electrochemical energy.3

Now, the mysterious field of quantum mechanics4 has been discovered to be another part of the equally enigmatic transformation of light energy into life energy.5 Science writer Eric Ralls stated recently in an article on Earth.com,

When sunlight streams onto a leaf, something remarkable happens. Energy from those rays flows through molecular pathways with an efficiency that has sparked curiosity for generations....Researchers around the world are intrigued because these plants seem to tap into the puzzling principles of quantum mechanics to manage light energy with hardly any losses.6

Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that investigates the behavior of light and matter at the atomic and subatomic levels. In 2010, biologist Brian Thomas, Ph.D., described quantum mechanics in lowly algae.

Experiments have shown that light, as well as electrons, can travel along two wave-like paths at the same time and yet arrive at the same place. In quantum-speak, these paths are said to exist in “coherence.”

Scientists have measured the control of light in coherence by a protein that is involved in photosynthesis. Certain proteins with molecular “antennae” are structured to capture and transfer light energy. When combined with a host of nearby as well as faraway protein machines, they use this energy to build the chemicals on which all other living things depend.7

Now another quantum mechanical phenomenon has been found in plants: “There is a concept known as a superposition where energy or particles overlap in multiple possible states. It sounds futuristic, yet plants have harnessed it for billions of years to maximize their solar intake.”6 (Notice evolutionists admit to how advanced and high-tech such a process is, but they must nonetheless see it in terms of purely random events and deep evolutionary time.) Professor Hauer, from Technical University Munich (TUM), explains, “When light is absorbed in a leaf, for example, the electronic excitation energy is distributed over several states of each excited chlorophyll molecule; this is called a superposition of excited states.”6

But this energy must be kept from leaking away. This has driven scientists to investigate something called fast relaxation steps that keeps the energy flow from decreasing, “These fast steps include a balance of vibrations, state couplings, and energy release in the form of heat.”6

Are these fast steps (not to mention superposition and a protein controlling coherence) really the result of chance, natural processes, and deep time?

It should be noted that brilliant scientists using sophisticated equipment and having millions of dollars in research grants are peering into the subatomic realm to copy what supposedly blind chance (“Nature”) has done. Once determined, they will apply the quantum mechanical discoveries to electrical technology to improve efficiency. One scientist from TUM stated, “Applying these findings in the design of artificial photosynthesis units could help to utilize solar energy with unprecedented efficiency for electricity generation or photochemistry.”6

But like it or not, the scientists are copying what God—not evolution—has designed in the beginning. The apostle Paul addressed this misplaced emulation when he stated,

Because, although they [i.e., all humans who suppress the truth of God in unrighteousness] knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals, and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness....And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind.8

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (April 16th)

"The precious blood of Christ." — 1 Peter 1:19

Standing at the foot of the cross, we see hands, and feet, and side, all distilling crimson streams of precious blood. It is "precious" because of its redeeming and atoning efficacy. By it the sins of Christ's people are atoned for; they are redeemed from under the law; they are reconciled to God, made one with Him. Christ's blood is also "precious" in its cleansing power; it "cleanseth from all sin." "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." Through Jesus' blood there is not a spot left upon any believer, no wrinkle nor any such thing remains. O precious blood, which makes us clean, removing the stains of abundant iniquity, and permitting us to stand accepted in the Beloved, notwithstanding the many ways in which we have rebelled against our God. The blood of Christ is likewise "precious" in its preserving power. We are safe from the destroying angel under the sprinkled blood. Remember it is God's seeing the blood which is the true reason for our being spared. Here is comfort for us when the eye of faith is dim, for God's eye is still the same. The blood of Christ is "precious" also in its sanctifying influence. The same blood which justifies by taking away sin, does in its after-action, quicken the new nature and lead it onward to subdue sin and to follow out the commands of God. There is no motive for holiness so great as that which streams from the veins of Jesus. And "precious," unspeakably precious, is this blood, because it has an overcoming power. It is written, "They overcame through the blood of the Lamb." How could they do otherwise? He who fights with the precious blood of Jesus, fights with a weapon which cannot know defeat. The blood of Jesus! sin dies at its presence, death ceases to be death: heaven's gates are opened. The blood of Jesus! we shall march on, conquering and to conquer, so long as we can trust its power!

The Sum of All Fears, around 29:50 mark, this is said:

Is that because he knows where all the bodies are buried?

the answer:

Probably because he buried them himself.

Food for thought...

At the 33 min mark, it appears that the bad guy who purchased the nuke from the Arabs is shipping it out to his buyer from a shipping dock in Haifa, Israel. Is Israel a point of export for illegal arms from the ME to other nations?

The bomb was purchased by a Nazi, white supremecist coalition in Ukraine. Mind you this movie was made in 2002

They called Hitler crazy, but Hitler wasn't crazy; he was stupid. You don't fight Russia and America; you get Russia and America to fight each other.

Does anyone have much information on artificial flavors used in coffee? I've noticed that over the past year, I've gained back all the weight I began losing in November '22. I haven't been exercising as much for one thing, but I've also lost motivation to reduce carbs as much as I can. Not completely, but significantly.

I've been thinking that part of my problem is that this past year I've started drinking instant coffee that has French vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, and such. Then recently I was looking at the ingredients and it says that they use artificial fragrances. It's the fragrance that causes it to taste good. This could be messing with my metabolism.

https://www.chefsresource.com/faq/is-artificially-flavored-coffee-bad-for-you/

https://donpablocoffee.com/blogs/donpablocoffeenews/the-hidden-dangers-of-flavored-coffee

Well, buttcrap. Here I thought I was being healthier by ditching honey in coffee and going with these flavored coffees that taste pleasant without sugar. They don't contain any crappy-ass aspartame or any artificial sweeteners, but I think they may still have an effect on metabolism.

“Buckle up” posts in past months, would be too much of a stretch to say directly connected to El Salvador president “Bukele” - but he seems to be a timely! helpful character as deportations are ongoing.

Does anyone have a link to a full compilation of video, science etc around 911. Links to videos to trump saying it was a demolition and the video of dancing Israelis, the student project that might have been thermite installation, links to the money trails for those who made money, the video on BBC of tower 7, what was in the buildings, the stuff around the owner, the wargames that were ongoing during the highjacks etc? Thermite vs the strength of steel vs a plane jets fuel?

Someone I know who is only partially redpilled on this subject got their eyes opened with the tucker interview. She thought it would shock me. Lol.i was like you were shocked we were covering it up? It's worse than that. I haven't saved anything on the subject as I am almost always on a phone these days and not a laptop.

Thank you in advance if you saved such a pile.

TRUMP COMMS POST

Date: April 16, 2025Time: 6:50 AM

Text: "Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is GREAT!!!"

MATCHED Q DROP:

Q Drop #650Date: January 31, 2018Time: 21:54:16Board: 8chan /qresearch/ #229128

Context: A user quoted Trump’s 2018 State of the Union:

“I call on the Congress to empower every Cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the American people.”

Q Response:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(52 exclamation marks)

INTERPRETATION:

Q confirms this quote as mission-critical. The legal authority to remove corrupt federal actors has been granted. The excessive exclamation points = code-level signal that this moment activated deeper operations.

TRUMP TIMESTAMP COMMS:

Trump posts praise of Stefanik at 6:50 AM, matching Q Drop 650.

This indicates she is being highlighted as part of that original “removal authority” mission.

The post uses "GREAT!!!" (triple exclamations), echoing Q’s non-verbal emphatic response.

Conclusion: Stefanik is not just being praised—she may be:

A key player in draining the swamp inside New York, or

A signal marker of deep state takedown moves happening behind the scenes.

SYMBOLIC EXTRAS:

52 = full deck, Trump card, completion

Reward and Remove = scriptural-style justice principle

Time-coded comms = confirmation for watchers

I have a question but don't want to post the screenshot here, regarding deciphering - wanna make sure you're (someone knowledgeable) is in agreement. How do I accomplish this 🤣

So ... did you decide to pay your income taxes this year?
