I'll try to be charitable here. I agree that Jesus definitely is the founder and perfecter of liberty for all people. But I don't think Farage was intending to draw into conflict with Christ. It helps to remember history when interpreting statements like this.

Think about it in terms of classical British patriotism. He's exuding a wistfulness about the positive side of his nation's history. For Brits, the Monarchy is kind of a symbol their cultural paradigm and history. He's using that as a synecdoche for the English role in promoting early abolitionism and the cultural standards which guided the Industrial Revolution that ultimately improved everyone's economic conditions.

More importantly for our topic of discussion, the monarchy was originally cast as being established "by the grace of God" during the Middle Ages. So his sentiment kind of incorporates a deference to Christ inherent in viewing his Monarch as a steward in His service.

Of course, for most of us Americans that sentiment isn't one we think with naturally. So we kind of miss the point with it. But it does bear analyzing because we can't always make the same historical assumption that the English did anymore when interpreting these cases. Especially since the Monarchy doesn't always seem to live up to Christ's teachings which the pedophilic scandals of some of its recent members now seem to demonstrate.

But from what I can tell, Farage doesn't seem to be anti-Christian. So I doubt he incorporates any intent of usurpation to the liege of his liege.

If the role of the Gou'auld "Ba'al" was a subtle way of exposing some fact about what happened with our government in reality, this might have been a way of silencing the witness... Just sayin'.

What stings is the hypocrisy more than anything else. The evildoers think they're doing nothing wrong even though they know we call it evil. The anger involved here is mainly the desire to make them realize how evil they really are. However, we also know they will ignore that.

The language of pain and death is the only language that the Left truly understands. Without a clear demonstration spoken in that language so even they cannot deny it, they will continue to smugly think they're right and we're stupid for standing for the truth.

Phyllotaxis. Fibonacci Sequence. According to "reptiliandude" the God-fearing ETs see it like a name of God. We're supposed to be able to be recognized as a civilization if we somehow communicate that via FTL communication but his claim that it's supposed to be sent via QM, Fusion and particle entanglement seems infeasible.

FWIW, it's exactly what "reptiliandude" is proposing. The angels/aliens interpreted the "series of tubes" creatively as a "wall of reeds" so they could conduct their info OPs here.

No trouble. Honestly, this wasn't going how I was expecting this to go. Now that I see your response I realize the strange irony of the whole thing.

I have to admit the idea of these "destroyers" as servants of God is one that's kind of unusual and I should give some credit where it's due. That idea isn't entirely something I just came up with by myself. I actually ran across a version of it as part of some guy's ideas. This is one part of his stuff that sense to me. I'm not sure what I'd have thought if I hadn't read it before this came up, but this is what set my conviction about it.

Why I find it ironic is that this dude is definitely is NOT a pro-Trump MAGA fan at all. I believe his exact words for Trump were "ginger haired Lex Luther." (obviously thinking him a megalomaniac) He described Q as a "Nostratrumpus." He also said to me last December "If you expect Trump to change the welcome sign outside United States of Potterville, you’re sadly mistaken." So it's kind of funny that I'm here using one of his thoughts to discuss Trump's painting of Abaddon.

But back to now. I actually agree with the angle you're proposing now that I've heard your point. Yeah, Trump definitely should not to be seen like a god or hero. He is like an archetype for the common man and their frustration against the corrupt elites. A kind of figurehead for the populist movement. And, I think, he's been one of the best leaders we've had as a country. Like I said in response to that dude, "Trump is the guy we chose to do this job and I want him to lead the charge if that's what's coming." But we didn't get that. We got stinky Joe cheating his butt in with the help of 30 Pence Judas.

Anyway, I agree. Trump is a man. And we should take him as a man. We should cherish and respect the great amount of good he's done for us. And we shouldn't be afraid of criticizing him when he doesn't live up to the ideals that we all should strive for either.

Go to the main reference for the word Abaddon/Apollyon: Revelation 9:1-11

The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).

Notice that the Bible never once equated Abaddon with evil. The destruction given by these "locusts" is a punishment to those who are evil. The "locusts" being led by Abaddon ... "were told... to harm... only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads." (Rev 9:4) The "locusts of Abaddon" were not allowed to kill the followers of Christ.

If this was meant to be the devil, as you seem to imply, then why they attack their own kingdom? Think about this. Jesus Himself says "if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?" (Matthew 12:26) Can we not know them by their works? How do you know that these "locusts" and their general aren't being sent by God to cleanse Satan's minions from this planet?

Think about it like this: Why would anyone assume that Trump meant this picture to be an alignment with the very evil that is going to be expunged by the claws and stingers of these creatures? No, it's him CELEBRATING that he's part of the army that is kicking the Deep State minions that will be on the receiving end of those stinges.

Stephen Spielberg's Taken. Around the premier there was a shindig by John Podesta to disclose UFOs. Sure clammed up real quick after though. Probably he did the whole Madeline McCann initiation to get what he wanted and ignored everyone else.

The Founding Fathers were the successors of the Protestants fighting for the right to worship without the Pope’s dominion. The early Protestants were the first to pioneer the principles of religious freedom because the Holy Roman Empire necessitated their defense of the right to reject government tyranny of religion.

Every time they put ads in it's a slap in the face to the taxpayers. Billions of tax payer dollars they pissed away on this quixotic crusade against Trump. Every time they put an ad on anything they should get another thousand years of special torments in Hell.

Agreed. God provides salvation for all in Christ. However, the very Being they're fighting is the One making the provision for their salvation. All I am saying is that breaking down willful resistance like that isn't an easy task. We should not expect it to be.

Membership in organized Christianity is certainly less than 1% of the Japanese population. Japanese culture has always had a looser structure to religions in general and the Tokugawa shogunate period with the whole "Kakure Kirishtan" subculture which hid Christian symbolism beneath Buddhist and Shinto concepts has made it all the more likely that organized forms of Christianity would be generally rare. They don't want a repeat of what happened to them after the Shogun took control where they were forced to perform a fumie on icons of Christian faith.

Don't trust the "beautiful tall people." I hear they're actually the "watchers" from the Book of Enoch and the primary backers of the Deep State. They act super-enlightened and rational but they also treat humans like cattle for their genetic experiments and use chosen specimens of humanity for consciousness uploading when avoiding death.

Similar story here. Fortunately, my 72 year old friend worked in medical research so we've been keeping up with the C, D3, Quercetin, Quinine and Zinc. Unfortunately, my friend's taste has only partially come back... still can't taste the meat... but otherwise is fine. Either way, not something to lock down the universe for.

It's these "old aunt Tilly" stories that are really causing people to go stupid. Everyone has an anecdote of some person that just died of COVID and blows it hugely out of proportion. If you take proper prophylactics it's probably going to go over like a small cold at worst. There's clearly some other underlying condition that causes COVID to actually go deadly besides just "old age." I suspect it's a nutritional deficiency of some sort.

I think medicine has also been covering up the fact that our food supply isn't giving us great nutritional value. HFCS and other GMO-related components likely destroy necessary nutritional value which exacerbates the problem and they're being paid to cover that up.

Fair enough. I'm compelled to acknowledge an attempt at reconciliation.

I recognize that the "civil discussion" rule has been in place for a long time but I'm concerned about how it is evolving. Its intention is clearly stated to permit people to participate in the discussion rather than to "divide." The problem is that someone can always take offense to something. I think that any form of language policing is a very dangerous road to go down in general and this is one of those "open ended rules" that is very difficult to keep in the bottle. The big problem is that everyone's standards of "decency" differ. When one side makes their "decency" the law, everyone else who doesn't share that standard suffers.

At the end of the day, this mechanism... this rule... whilst originally meant to include everyone... can become a threat to to the mechanism of communication itself by alienating "unpopular" words and behaviors. This is precisely why Reddit and other platforms are failing. When we alienate one person for an unpopular opinion, we eventually alienate all people because someone will take offense to something no matter how innocuous.

Most people don't like the "N-word" which is what stirred up this ban hammer festival in the first place. But where do we stop? This is like a canary in the coal mine.

Think about it this way: What happens when an atheist decides Christianity is offensive? Do we ban talk of that?

What happens when the FBI shills claim Q is offensive? Do we void our entire forum by rejecting Q?

Banning for speech must be treated the same way as the US government treats nuclear weapons. It's a form of "mutually assured destruction" that must be treated with the UTMOST caution. That's the hard lesson that any moderating group has to keep in mind. You are literally wielding a tool with the power to destroy the forum itself. Think carefully and use it wisely.

P.S. People are really sensitized to this NOW because we've seen this "meltdown" occur several times. It gets annoying, really, to think "yet another Reddit."

Translation: "Use a conditional phrasing rather than a declarative phrasing because it's offensive to my feelings."

Fine, I'll play your little game. "We have observed that you have been going down the road of language policing and it is creating concerns amongst some members that we're repeating the mistakes that made Reddit the CCP controlled platform that it is now."

How's that? Suitably facile and flowery for your tastes?

You're not wrong, but you're also going to have to take into the account both sides of God's plan of salvation. The Law, which you point out, but also the grace by which He reconciles sinners to Himself.

Yes, a good case can be made from Romans 1 that the wrath of God is being revealed against us. The USA acting like the symbolic Whore of Babylon with its heaps of sins reaching the heavens as the Deep State gets our country into endless wars and our culture rots inwardly from the filth of Hollywood's licentious and evil practices. This chapter lists many of the symptoms of succumbing to rejecting the Creator and we do fulfill many of them.

However, I would also argue that these symptoms in and of themselves are markers and not the true problem. The issue is that we have not kept our mooring on the grace of God. Otherwise, we would understand that we are all sinners and are thus relying on the work of Christ to reconcile us to God. The Deep State and the Cult of Molech which has infested it has done its worst to erode the pillars of faith. And so our culture has forgotten what grace is. We laud our laws and justice without understanding that they are complemented by God's forbearance and mercy. We now have lefties claiming to support "social justice" but these cries are vain lies and slanders against their fellow men based on misconstruals of historical sins of others. Thus as the Prophet Amos, the LORD would despise our assemblies and festivals. (Amos 5) For they have been tainted by the ignorant wishing for the Day of the Lord to come against those who built the nation. A nation divided against itself cannot stand. A nation which destroys its heritage is doomed to die.

And this leads me to Jonah. Because of their sheer evil, I can think of this like Jonah did about the people of Nineveh. For Jonah rightly despised Nineveh for what they did to God's people in Israel and Judea. However, much to Jonah's chagrin, God chose to even show the Ninevites mercy. God's grace gives all of us sinners far better than we ever deserve. And we should not take the righteous declaration of the Law against the unrepentant to hold itself above the promise of grace, either.

Rather, we are to promote God working in the sinner to draw us all to repentance and faith. We are to all seek His promise of reconciliation and its fulfillment in the accomplished work of Christ. Thus we may, with gratitude, set about the work of seeking to honor His commands given to us through the gift of reconciliation and the promise of eternal life given in Him.

Yeah, 80s kid here too. Agreed, not much of this is really new. It's just been suppressed and development going at a snails' pace due to our corrupt economic system and the "rich bastards" in charge.

The problem with fusion isn't that it's hard to accomplish. It's that fusion is way too rare at normal pressures to be a net positive source of energy. Philo T Farnsworth, the same guy who invented the Cathode Ray Tube used in early TVs, also invented a cheap Fusor.

However, even if "real time" communication can be established such that the "speed of light" ceases to limit communication you still have a problem in that you cannot send information to the actual past. You can only communicate and coordinate your plans in a way that it appears like you are communicating with the past to those with SOL limitations. To permit such a means to make "predictions" there has to be a "plan."

There's several of these "mystery droppers." Q, "reptiliandude" and Cicada 3301 are some of the ones I'm more familiar with. I have a sneaking suspicion that these might be "projects" to prepare mankind for something that's about to be disclosed.
