In one of Gaddafi's many awesome speeches at the Arab League Summit in Damascus (2008ish), here he is protesting the assassination/extrajudicial killing of Saddam Hussein. Assad and others are laughing, because Gaddafi is joking about the absurdity of how they're all just letting it happen without question. I always think about this speech when I see the shitstorm they've thrown at Assad post-Libya.

I think the sentencing hearing was coming up for in mid-December for the existing convictions. I assume it was to save Hunter the trouble/risk of being handcuffed and jailed after sentencing.

Happy martyr Anniversary JFK. You did the right thing.

Well, I do believe this is the American calculus of escalation. They want Putin to attack Europe. But Putin is on to this. He might take the shot here (and not attack Europe), but support the efforts to attack Israel and draw the U.S. into middle eastern war, where we can be more easily weakened. Hurting the Empire by attacking Europe hurts Russia. Hurting the Empire by supporting Arab's hurts U.S. I don't think the warmongers care either way. War is coming. EDIT: Ultimately, I think the U.S./Israelia axis is willing to sacrifice Europe, and I believe Europe is on to this as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the "betrayal" (or appearance of betrayal, perhaps already planned) of U.S./Israeli is on the agenda.

Still buffering. Who won?

I don't know the guys whole history, but this appointment is the only one I'm truly happy about. I wasn't a big hippy when it comes to food, clean water, vaccines, etc. I followed the schedule for my first kid and never really paid much attention. When Covid came around and I did all the research, I informed myself about not just Covid, but all these supposedly "great" vaccines. It was a book from RFK's website called "The Vaccine Book" by Robert Sears that convinced me that basically the entire schedule is unnecessary if not dangerous. I had a kid born in 2020 and another in 2022 who are vax free thanks to his efforts. Anyway, I followed his campaign and watched his concession/endorsement speech where he cried and said he prayed for 19 years for God to put him in a position to help children. As a Christian I do think there is a lot of signs that a shitstorm is ahead. But God can do many things at once, and we shouldn't put Him in a box. I do find it odd that this administration has the appearance of one that could significantly change things. I mean "significant" to me, at this point, would be getting flouride out of the water and getting the poison out of our food til we're at least at European levels. So without knowing exactly how much hope this warrants (he hasn't been confirmed), I do find this one appointment a particularly hopeful sign, and I'm very happy for RFK. He's put in a lot of work, and I believe he is sincere.

If you want to nerd out and read the word.... www.cogwriter.com That is the website of the "Continuing Church of God" (CCOG) led by Bob Thiel. It is the most pure successor to the old Herbert Armstrong Church of God. I'm not a big believer in his pushing adherence to Sabbath observance and Hebrew Holy days (but I am somewhat a believer), but I do believe his scriptural and prophetic interpretations are the best I've seen anywhere. His scriptural research is amazing. You can probably type any religious question and add "cogwriter" to the search query and find pages of material he's written. He has in-depth knowledge of the Catholic Encyclopedia and constantly references it (sometimes to contradict it, sometimes to show their beliefs used to be different). The most fundamental point on which CCOG differs from both Catholics and Protestants/reformed theology, is the understanding of the 1st and 2nd resurrections and also the rejection of trinitarianism (in favor of Binitarianism). For the subject of the hell/resurrection, highly recommend free book "Fire of God's Anger" by Lewis Carter Baker.

Not sure I'm on board. Don't like the word "efficiency". Accountability, morality, integrity. What about those? Without those, efficient could mean "twice the evil, same low price!"

Is it war? My guess is war.

It's very frustrating as a programmer to see things like this. Why does every attempt at organization start with a stupid app instead of an actual workflow? I don't understand the point of this site. It looks like a crappy reddit ripoff. If there is no result of the work people put into this, then why participate? Same gripes I had with CFL, but by comparison, CFL looks like a beacon of grassroots innovation. At least that has a basis of actually trying to connect people at the local level. Plus, the top voted "peace" issue is banning transgender surgery? Just goes to show how easily the right has been played. Boogeyman gays and weirdos are the main enemy of peace. Oh yeah, and the economy, and probably the borders. Can't do nothing about that welfare/warfare state at the root of everything, because muh troops, and muh schools. RFK, Tucker, Tulsi, Rogan, Jordan... These people are the mainstream media now, for the minority of people who are paying attention. They are your babysitters for the shitshow about to ensue. The anti-establishment has been co-opted by the establishment, and now doing an about-face will be very difficult.

Thanks for all the support liberty folks in getting me elected. As a thank you, I'm inviting you all to participate in yet another echo chamber. The first 50 to sign up, will get an "echo chamber" pillow, brought to you by the Mr. Pillow guy. So when you get frustrated voting or seeing the truth, you've got your very own echo chamber pillow to scream into. Now with 30% extra tear absorbance.

Yeah, but Trump is slick in this regard. I feel like we're playing the game of: "Scared me for a moment, I thought it was gonna be Pompeo." "Scared me for a moment, I thought it was gonna be Nikki Haley." "Scared me for a moment, I thought it was gonna be Marco Rubio." ...meanwhile, the actual picks are substantively the same.

right? I don't even believe Obama isn't gonna serve in his administration.

Just sayin'. Ther Germans thought they were experiencing a cleansing as well. Then it all went to hell, and they were the scape-goated evil 'enablers' of history. Trumps weaknesses are many. He's going to be surrounded by horrible people who love to do horrible things. People keep saying "God put him in this position". So what? God put Pharaoh into his position as well. People are celebrating way too early. It's like the "Obama's gonna pay my rent" but for the snake-flag people.

What is in danger, is Trump's legacy as the saver of millions of lives because of the Covid jab. Trump is incapable of eating crow from what I've seen, so not very hopeful he's going to reveal the documents. Covid is a bioweapon. Evidence is pretty dense that supports this. Trump owns all of it. He's either gonna eat crow or betray the Rand/RFK wing. I think he's more likely to betray based on past behavior, but maybe he found Jesus.

Thanks. So confirmed that the department of war and "american interests abroad" will be headed by an Iran hardliner. Not a death sentence, but doesn't scream peace and prosperity. I just suspect the likes of Gabbard, Musk, RFJ, Ron Paul, et al, will be nothing but ornaments. We will find out I guess.

Word on the street is that the transition team will be led by Pompeo appointee Brian Hook. This guy was an Iran hardliner. He was appointed by Pompeo to direct the policy of "Maximum Pressure" against Iran. No doubt involved in the assassination plot of Soleimani. We're off to a great start. Can't wait to see what's next.

Not curing my apathy, this whole thing. I mean, I see a lot of promises, just still feels dark, staged, fake and gay. Pretty much ZERO has been changed on the Palestine/Israel equation, so I feel like Iran war is on deck. And now American's are married to promises of Trump-topia, so if Iran heats up they will lash out in unison demanding quick-brown deaths. So yeah, it's a nice set of promises we've all bought into, but it's also a REALLY nice setup for walking the messianic mess into a big middle east conflict that truly bankrupts our country, and sets us up for balkanization. I just don't buy that this "resistance" is organic our authentic. I think people across the country are having an emotional moment with this cult of personality, but when he starts blowing things up, that only makes it worse, because no one will want to criticize him, just like they gave him a pass when he assassinated Soleimani.
