That's because trading stocks is not the main method they use for getting kickbacks, so this is something easy they can do to say "see we are fighting corruption". The main money maker comes from giving benefits to the companies that are owned and operated by their family or friends, or to the companies their kids are employed at, then they receive kickbacks from this. Multi-billion dollar contracts awarded to their buddies who do crappy work. Or like in Washington now they require porta potties if you are doing anytype of work requiring a permit on your home, even when the bathroom at the home works, the only reason for this I can see is chances are some politicians kid or friend owns the portapotty company! Shit like this is their goto method, its literally the entire reason they get involved in politics, stock trading is just the cherry on top so to say. Oh yeah and can't forget that they all scam donations for personal gain when campaigning too, have their wife or kid be the campaign manager. Anything of this nature is their true money maker.
Edit: There will likely be some type of loophole where they can continue to stock trade anyways, but mainly I wanted to point out that even if there was no loophole they likely wouldn't care.
Honestly assassinating Trump would definitely turn him into a martyr and would likely start an actual rebellion in this country. If there is to be rebellion in this country you can bet your ass that they want to be in control of it from start to finish, killing Trump would throw elements of it out of their control quicker than any other move they could possibly make as far as I'm concerned. Basically I ask myself this, how would they benefit from killing Trump? I can't come up with a good answer. For this to be definitive proof of good guys being in control there needs to be no other good explanation, but this isn't the case whatsoever here.
I think a much better example would be why on earth do they keep letting Biden come out and talk, making a complete and utter fool of himself, especially when it's in a video where you can tell it was green screened in the first place. Why put out something like that when you are clearly doctoring videos in the first place? Outside of some type of psychological demoralizing of the populace I can't come up with a good explanation, and that's a flimsy one because it's had the exact opposite effect of waking people up and it seems to me pretty obvious that this would be the result. When a good explanation can't be found elsewhere then the whole good guys are in control theory starts to become much more viable doesn't it? But when there are other explanations good guys in control seems much more like wishful thinking then a well thought out theory. Atleast that's my take.
If people like this have their way will our language eventually be reduced to simply grunting and pointing? Scratch that because grunting in the wrong tone or pointing at the wrong thing might offend someone... what's the end goal here?
Nah, we need to stop letting them take over our language. Man and woman have very definite definitions that use male and female as part of that definition. I don't think these people should be taken seriously whatsoever, but if people feel like taking them seriously they already invented a prefix "trans" you can slap on before the word man or woman to let people know you aren't actually referring to a man or woman. No need to start abandoning language just because people are twisting it, also let's say we do drop the word man and woman completely, what is to stop them from pulling the same crap with male and female? Absolutely nothing as far as I can see.
We know so little about this planet, to say that there is a 100% definitive "normal" climate is the ultimate arrogance. Also the climate change crowd completely ignores the fact that all living organisms are constantly adapting to changes in their environment. There are now certain types of fungus that thrive off of radioactive waste, however I'd wager 95%+ of the people on the planet have absolutely no idea anything of the sorts exist. Whenever someone talks of humans as some type of fluke that doesn't belong on this planet, and that our activity is not a part of nature unlike every other organism on this planet, you can be absolutely certain this person has an agenda. What type of agenda might benefit from treating human life like a disease on this planet? Well one that wants to justify treating humans like absolute shit would be the first thing that comes to my mind.
Nice post my man, here's some Bible verses and a bit of my thoughts for anyone who is stressing and worrying during these troubling times.
Issiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."
Don't go asking God to make it so there are only good things in your life, as how do you even know what is good except in relation to what is bad? Also our understanding of the world is very shallow, who's to say what actions are truly good and truly bad, the broken leg that is bad today might be the greatest thing ever when the military starts drafting people for an unjust war the next day. Likewise you cannot have a state of affairs where only bad things happen, as what is bad is always in relation to what is good. Given this state of affairs, what's the big worry about? And if that's not enough then:
Matthew 6:34 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
Do not worry about the future as the future only exists as a thought in this present moment. If we constantly stress about our previous actions and constantly worry about what the future will bring we never truly experience the magnificence of life simply as it is.
Truly there is nothing to worry about in life, all we need to do is discover that everything we could ever need or possibly want is available to us right now in this present moment. Like Jesus we must discover and come to accept our Union with God, rather than pushing God away and seeking him in whatever you consider to be good, find God in all things and that includes yourself.
I just have a tough time seeing a scenario where people suddenly see gold and silver as valuable again. Like I say I don't want to be the guy that offers advice as if I have some oracle and know the future but when I really think things through if we had a true and complete collapse of all current systems, silver and gold seem to me to be some of the most worthless things around to have.
I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to buying gold or silver. Take what I say with a complete grain of salt and don't even really take it as me giving advice, but these are my thoughts on it:
The most worthless thing you can do with any material on this planet is to use it as money. I think it would be best if we can move away from a system that puts money as the most important aspect of it. Another thing is that if fiat fails and everything goes to shit, it seems to me that gold and silver are going to be some of the most worthless things available to barter with. Who wants something they can do very minimal with when they are starving? Anyways that's just my thoughts don't take it as advice, if I were to give any advice I would say give more thought as to what would be useful for bartering, because at the end of the day what are you stockpiling silver (or gold) for? It's to use it to buy something that you want, the things that you can buy with silver like food, fuel, livestock animals, etc. atleast to me seem to have a much higher "value" than silver or gold itself.
My response went over your head, so I pointed that out. I don't find it insulting whatsoever what I said, I don't get what you are trying to even say you are just rambling at this point. I didn't even disagree with your original post just added to it that the way the world is now we don't have any need to have somebody "represent" us, we can do it ourselves. I even said that some sort of government is likely to form no matter what! I was literally agreeing with you and adding to what you said and for some reason that went totally over your head man. No reason to get upset over it, reply if you want I don't have anything else to add because fundamentally we dont seem to disagree, just my original point went so far over your head I can't seem to place where it went.
Ok heres what you are missing, in any situation involving government you have people that are being governed. Change a bit of my post to "The main reason why people might go along with a", instead of "I think the main reason for a", and I think you'll get the meaning I was going for far better. I was talking much more about the reasoning of people going along with such a system then who might create and promote such a system and their reasons behind doing so. My point is that the reason that people had for going along with such a system no longer exist, and yet here we are still going along with things. You read way the hell too far into my post such that the meaning of my words went completely over your head.
I think the basic response to this especially in a legal setting where linguistics are of extreme importance is to respond with an extremely basic trap. Ask them what they mean by absolutely any word other than something related to gender. If they respond with what is essentially the dictionary definition then you have successfully trapped them, if we are to agree on the meaning of any words we must have a common definition of them, if you choose to source some words from one dictionary and others from another than we cannot communicate in any meaningful way. Currently male and female are very well defined words in any dictionary, and even Trans people agree that when they start changing things the intention is to change from a very definite thing "male or female" to another very definite thing "female or male". The funny thing too is that if they try to escape this trap by saying that they cannot define any word, then they have stepped right into the trap once again, as now nothing they say means anything, all terms they use are undefined and thus are simply grunts and groans. So there we go, we have caught them in a linguistic trap, they cannot communicate in any meaningful way if they want to change definitions of words willy nilly.
I think it's quite obvious she's trying to pull a "Gotcha" trap linguistically by bringing up Trans people, but what she doesn't realize is that this is the equivalent of her diving head on into the mother of all linguistical traps: not having a commonly agreed definition for any word! What language is she even speaking in? Some weird new fangled English?
I think the main reason for a "representative government" was that back in the day communication was much more difficult and thus if you wanted to have your voice heard where the decisions are made you need to pack up and start walking or riding on horseback all the way across the country to do so. So a "representative" actually had some type of reason to exist back then. Nowadays communication is instant and easy, it's available to absolutely everybody in the country. We do not need "representatives" to speak for us anymore because we can speak for ourselves to absolutely anybody in the world, and we can do it from even the most remote areas in the world. The reason for having a representative no longer exist, but for some reason we've kept the representative. Its long past time to get rid of the middleman. I'd argue that we don't even really need a government for local matters, I'm sure that something resembling a government might naturally form in a lot of areas, but truly the "need" to have somebody else make decisions for us no longer exist.
Honestly they'd just come in a different way, rather than throwing money at a problem why not remove the incentive that is causing people to flock here? Problem solved and no money blown on a wall that we don't need. A wall doesn't do anything to stop the actual source of the problem and the reason for people coming here.
Lol assuming all the data is legit they list sleep as being more effective than the medications the WHO suggests, sleep!
