The first video is not from this week, it's from the beginning of the pandemic and it was taken from the Wuhan lockdown. The man speaking has a Wuhan accent, not Shanghai. The second video with the drone I'm not sure about. The third video is new and he mentions the date April 5th.
Just because someone says a video just happened, don't just trust it. So many videos are taken out of context and misrepresented.
Seeing as the title of this post is misinformation, I would recommend taking away the sticky at least.
Or the computer repair shop made bit for bit copies of the hard drive and gave them to the FBI, law enforcement and Rudy Giuliani. A copy like that would have deleted files which would still be accessable with some extra work. They dunt need the physical laptop, only a perfect image of the drive.
That movie is about how sin is good and it's what adds interest and color to the world. It satires goodie two shoes Christians and portrays them as hypocritical, close minded, bullies and bigots who if they would just give into their sinful minds could be free. If there was ever a cabal movie in sheep's clothing, it's Pleasantville.
The purpose used to be for people to have more daylight in the early hours because we were an agrarian society. As the seasons shifted in order to maintain regular hours, the clocks shifted to provide an hour more daylight in the morning and an hour less in the evening. Now we are mostly 8am to 5pm workers. We want daylight in the evenings, not the mornings. Who cares if you drive to work in the dark? We want an hour of daylight when we get home at night to spend with our kids outside.
The earth isn't flat but this guy is totally worth the time. His voice changes as it goes along and by the end I was addicted. He's talented, and it's the best grand narrative conspiracy theory I've seen. I might live in this world but I wish I lived in the one he describes.
What it made me realize is that the world being flat or a sphere doesn't really effect my life. I'm not a rocket engineer. I live my life as of it's flat and the next tall mountain I see I will at least consider it may have been a giant tree...
Seriously look into Ewaranon.
I don't know if this means anything, but I have never in my life seen an actual Christian refer to Jesus as, "Jesus H. Christ". Unbelievers take his names in vain like that, but actually refer to him... Never.
Theologically I want to point out "unity" is not something Christians have with unbelievers. The thing we all have in common is sin, and by God's grace, his people are forgiven their sins... But unity? Never. God promises there will never be unity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. Jacob God loved and Esau he hated. Jesus didn't come to bring peace, but a sword. We are called to forgive and bless our enemies and the enemies of the cross, but not unite with them. The division is hard and fast.
Unity as Americans? Maybe. But I've found so many Americans who hate that namesake.
I really hate seeing that picture used for Jan 6, because that isn't the national capitol, that isn't Washington D.C., that's a state capitol and the people were allowed in. There are plenty of grandmas walking around the national gallery in the Jan. 6 footage, but this one just looked better and people started using it for memes.
Used twice in sticky posts...

Why anyone would want to program a computer to pick someone's sex is beyond me. Have you ever been present when a homely girl is miss-sexed by someone? It's beyond humiliating for them. Some women are simply homely and mannish in their appearance. I find the "Michelle Obama is a man" stuff interesting and it's made me wonder. But if I ever actually met her in person there is no way I would ever remark on it, because if she is a she, I would deserve to be on a rack for making that mistake. I know with some trans, you can just tell, but Michelle Obama is not one of those.
Just be careful out there. Some manly women are just that, women. They know they are homely, but be gentle. Being unattractive sucks enough in itself without someone miss-sexing you.
Businesses are not simply "left to do what they want" according to her philosophy. If anything the people would have greater legal recourse against big companies for damages they cause them. According to Objectivism any act that causes harm or impedes on the liberties of another party must pay restitution. She rails against the kind of thing Big Pharma is doing by coercing government to mandate their product. People would never buy from Pfizer with their track record without government backers propping them up with "studies" and "approvals". With no government approval system reputation would mean everything with drug companies, and Pfizer has a terrible reputation. Moderna had never made a vaccine before COVID, etc.
As a Christian I certainly don't prescribe to Objectivism, however I do find it the most true secular philosophy. If there was no God, Ayn Rand would be the person to follow if you wanted society to work.
If you're a Christian with a dismal view of the end times I recommend you look into post-millennialism. It's only recently in history that the sad defeated view of premillennial dispensationalism has come to light. Christ is King now.
The enumeration of rights in the Constitution is not manifold, hence the 9th amendment. "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." The line of argumentation above leads to the Constitution becoming a bestower of rights, however its true roll is a protector of certain rights. Certain rights are so important that the framers decided to enumerate their protection, others thought enumeration would lead exactly to this line of argument... if it's not enumerated, it's not a right. I think Thomas stating that "liberty" may be the right in question is where the 9th amendment is leaning. (I'm actually surprised he asked the question the way he did. I think maybe he just wanted to know what the lawyer would say).
It's not the argument we should want to make anyway. The argument is simple: is the fetus a living human being and when do you count it? The lawyer is arguing 15 weeks is too early, and viability is the cut off. Most pro-lifers argue conception is a good cut off, while liberals argue birth is a good one. The court had to declare Blacks to be human beings worthy of human rights at some point. It's done the same for disabled persons. It completely has the authority to declare a human gamete a human life with human rights.
You are representing one view of eschatology and in the scope of the history of Christianity, it's the minority report. It's called Dispensational Premillennialism. Other than a few interpretations of early Fathers who tended to write on the Gnostic side of things, it's a recent creation of the 17th and 18th century. For most of Christian church history the idea of a great tribulation and a subsequent rapture and literal 1000 year reign of Christ on earth has not been held. On the contrary, the predominant view has been of an ever increases sanctification of the earth and reign of Christ from heaven over all things preempting his physical return . Despite the contemporary setbacks, or historical setbacks for that matter, Christianity remains mostly free throughout the world. There are literally Christians in every country on earth. God's Word has been translated into most languages. Most Christians experience enough freedom to practice the necessities of Christianity. In the greater scope of history, Christianity has progressively done better, not worse.
I would warn against relying purely on your own personal interpretation of God's Word. Prophesy (that includes all of God's Word) is not of private interpretation (2 Pet 1:20). God spoke through the Holy Spirit to his people (or his Church). The Church receives God's Word and through a sanctifying process the meaning and interpretation is to be adopted. If any person could simply read their Bible, invent a novel way of understanding something, and promote their new understanding among the Church.... well we call those people heretics. More learned men than you or I have spent their lives under the scrutiny of the Church at large writing and commenting on well established doctrine and theology.
Premillennialism has some establishment among the early Fathers and though its influence was mostly inconsequential in the past 2000 years we have seen it re-emerge in the past few hundred years. I don't think it comes to the level of heresy, but it is historically on the fringe of Christian orthodoxy. I recommend you at least become familiar (if you aren't already) with postmillennialism. Try starting with Augustine who regarded the millennium as a present spiritual reign by Christ in the earth. Everything before Revelation 20 is regarding the tribulations experienced in the sacking of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. This is backed up by Jesus who describes this in Matthew 24 stating that all this would come to pass within the current generation. In Revelation 20 you have a description of Satan being loosed from his currently bound state... but he and his false prophet are quickly put down and defeated. The battle is over in an instant by God's hand. We are reigning with Christ now. This is the millennial period.
God Bless.
How could they get the witness to testify without giving him immunity, and why would the prosecution give a witness like that immunity? He just incriminated himself. Sorry, I'm not following the trial super closely. It seems to me, if that witnesses testimony was going to hurt the prosecution, all they would want him to do is plea the 5th to any questioning. Him taking the 5th wouldn't look good for the prosecution, but it's better than this.
It's a two year old video out of Wuhan. Things are shitty for the people in Shanghai right now, but this old video is making the rounds as "evidence".
