So it took me a little while to wrap my brain around this undoubtedly fake story. Once I stopped being pissed off about yet another cover-up I was able to think calmly and logically. I think I got it.
The House doesn't come back until today July 7th, and there were rumors they might take another week off. The Senate is supposed to be back on the 8th.
What if the evidence is really chock-full of compromise material about CONgress? As in the kompromat that is rumored to be collected on nearly everyone... Perhaps some CONgress critters caught wind of the evidence about to be shared and the FBI was afraid all of CONgress would disappear so they wouldn't be jailed. I would have to change my way of typing CONgress to GONEgress. They would likely also notify others they knew were on the list.
Maybe the FBI decided to release false information to make sure CONgress came back and could be easily arrested. Then once they all go into session the feds move in and conduct mass arrests. The whole thing about CONgress not being able to be arrested while in session is BS - except for civil cases. The Constitution says they can only be arrested for "treason, felony, and breach of the peace"...
However...
The Supreme Court has interpreted "treason, felony, and breach of the peace" to cover all criminal acts, meaning members can be arrested for any crime while in session. They are not immune from criminal law enforcement, even during legislative duties.
I think this is disinformation to ensure CONgress is back and in session so they can be easily arrested. It's a CON on CONgress. If it is, we will know either this week or next week (if they take another week off as "comp time" for working the holiday weekend to pass the BBB).
i dont know about that. or dont recall.
Gideon, with God's help, achieved victory against the Midianites using a clever strategy and a small force of 300 men. He reduced his army to this number by having soldiers drink from a stream; those who lapped like dogs were chosen, while those who knelt were sent home. Gideon then equipped his men with trumpets, torches, and empty jars, and launched a surprise attack at night, creating chaos and confusion among the Midianites. The Midianites, believing they were vastly outnumbered, turned on each other, and Gideon's forces were able to rout them.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
The Lord's Confirmation:
God confirmed to Gideon that he would be victorious, even with a small force.
The Reduction of Forces:
Gideon's army was initially 32,000 strong, but God instructed him to reduce it to 300 to ensure that the victory would be clearly attributed to Him, not to the Israelites' strength.
The Night Attack:
Gideon's 300 men surrounded the Midianite camp at night, each armed with a trumpet, a torch, and an empty clay jar.
The Element of Surprise:
On Gideon's signal, the men broke their jars, creating a flash of light, and blew their trumpets, creating a cacophony of sound.
Panic and Defeat:
The Midianites, already on edge and believing they were facing a massive army, were thrown into panic and confusion, fighting amongst themselves.
The Midianite Retreat:
The Midianites fled in disarray, and Gideon's forces, along with reinforcements from other tribes, pursued them.
(disinformation at its finest) 😂👌
that seems to be in opposition to the statement "Well, the Bible says otherwise. God despises us lying."
did we do a circle? A certain type of deception in itself. It feels like you are going somewhere, and indeed you do travel. It comes down to the purpose though. Getting somewhere else away from the start, and Gaining a different perspective than the starting point can offer? Or excersise, like a nervous gerbil running off energy to relieve the anxiety of powerlessness and terror?

Yes I learned while I’m having conversations with people here at GAW. To be perfectly honest, I do find God’s word to be quite confusing sometimes.
I’m actually reading through the Bible chronologically and in the book of numbers chapter 2, the Israelites are sinning against God and worshiping BAAL. He commands Moses to Send somebody to kill the Israelites who are sinning against the Lord. They were having sex in tents right out in front of the Temple with Moabite women.
So this guy named Phineas, goes into the tent, and thrust a spear through this man and woman sinning against the Lord. Phineas is one of my favorite characters in the Bible BTW. Also, the Lord blesses him and his family for generations because after he did this, this is Israelite and stop sinning against the Lord!
All that to say, my question is… is God considered an antisemite because he commanded to have some of his own people murdered 😂😂😂 just saying 🤪
(Also - I use Siri for talk to text, and when using the word sinning, she literally refuses to type it out for me. I have to do it manually. It’s almost as if she actually knows what’s sin is) weird?
i dont know enough about the taxonomies of the biblical worlds peoples to be able to draw much from the story you mentioned, really. Pretty action packed stuff, though!
now go be good
The Bible makes a lot more sense when you read it as a psychological drama meant to teach us metaphysical truths about how faith creates our experiences than when you try to read it as a factual history of the middle east with some spiritual drama tossed in. The entire thing is a spiritual drama. Every miracle described in the Bible is possible through faith, but that doesn’t mean every miracle described in the Bible actually happened in the real world as described, or by the characters depicted therein. Hell one of the biggest clues to that is what the names of these characters mean in the original languages they were written in. It’s the same story told over and over again with focuses on the role of different aspects of our psyche. The Bible is literally the story of YOU.
