Just my two cents, I've got into nasal snuff tobacco lately and so far as I can tell it's one of the least harmful and most effective and pleasant forms of tobacco I've encountered. Can be hard to find in stores in the US though.
Nobody should put their faith in anything but God, but the kneejerk hostility toward the shroud of Turin always seems off to me. Why are some people so threatened by the idea of a piece of physical proof remaining? And why do they imply anyone who believes it is genuine is somehow lacking in faith?
There are a number of issues with their translation (not to say there aren't serious problems with some other big ones). And that's before you even get to the theology. To present JW as "just the Bible" seems like a stretch from everything I've seen highlighting those differences.
I don't have trouble putting my trust in God. Where I get screwed up is the idea that I can just tell Him what he's going to do for me. Maybe things will get better and I will end up happy. Maybe there's a reason God wants to keep putting these sort of hard hits in my path. If I sit here and say "God's going to do X, Y, and Z for me." it will still ultimately be up to Him. I've got to be braced for any outcome.
Something fishy is being planned over there. I watched a Count Dankula video the other day where he made a case that monarchy is better than democracy, which is a perfectly fair argument for someone to make in a broader sense, however he was saying it in reference to the fact that King Charles could technically dissolve Parliament if it got bad enough.
I would prefer a truly benevolent monarchy to a captured democracy any day, but to let Charles take over, even temporarily, would be nothing more than shifting from one member of the managerial class to another. I see this narrative being pushed a lot on social media, a family owned by the same people who own the Uniparty, is somehow supposed to be an improvement over the Uniparty.
All this makes me suspicious that they'll do this and have Farage ride in and save the day.
Hopefully this is just his version of Pence and Farage is on our side, but it's always so hard to tell.
The problem is people who fill a cart with items and then expect the workers to just "let it go" once they get in line and decide they don't really want to renew, thinking they'll just be let by.
It's like letting whoever wants into a private country club and assuming "I'm sure nobody will cause any problems.". It's the general public, they will cause problems.
We might need to stop being hopping on the "____ has fallen" doomer wagon. They push that trend because it instills hopelessness and implies places are beyond repair.
If we really wanna play that game, they all "fell" 20 years ago when they let leftists in charge. Kicking them while they're down isn't helping anyone.
We can talk about the problems without giving up on solutions in advance.
On a side note, I'm thinking there's another reason Trump is quiet on the conspiracy front regarding his shooting.
The second he starts getting conspiratorial in his speaking, the left will have the green light to push the "Trump wasn't really shot." narrative. It's perfect cover, "Well he's pushing conspiracy theories about the shooting too so it's the same thing!" and Trump doesn't want to give them that cover.
Why wouldn't they just kill off Kamala? So long as they have "Biden" under control that would give them pretty much carte blanche to put whoever they want into the race.
Plus they could do a big show of voters "demanding change" and then throw in a Trojan horse candidate like RFK Jr.
or Tulsi Gabbard.
(I know some of you get a big defensive boner about her but I just don't trust her.)
I sometimes wonder if part of all this is allowing these companies to continue to operate but taking away all of their ability to monopolize the healthcare industry.
Are we going to watch the cultists line up year after year (hopefully fewer each time) for more boosters and turn to them for treatment? Would seeing this play out wake up normies? I think so.
They're going to try.
Biggest single thing that could let them succeed is if we listen to all the doomers and accept this as our inevitable future. A narrative I see coming from an alarming number of people on our side.
I think it's clearly some sort of intentional messaging.
Plus an alternate possibility is he needs millions of boomer Republican voters who've been on all kinds of pills for years and cannot yet grasp the concept of the medical industry being so inept and malevolent as to facilitate a scamdemic. These people cannot reconcile that reality with their own situation and likely will not within the next three months.
I was saying that as a generic example, my point being that I see what seems to be easily a solid third of the conservative voices out there pushing doom and gloom 24/7. The kind of people who talk as if all of this we're doing is more so we can go down swinging instead of actually win.
I don't think that attitude is so prevalent by accident. I'm saying I think our enemies are purposely seeding that thinking through some people they control, and pessimism spreads like a disease if we let it. Everyone's personal life is different and I can't blame them for getting pessimistic when that goes south. But as far as this movement, I think the pieces really are there to see the bigger picture playing out.
Is this gonna be where they finally give up and just own it and double down defending him?
