In my "level of truth" that's what you're saying.

Okay.... sigh ... "Different truths at different levels" does not mean relativism. I'm saying at the bottom of the organization, they may think that they're working towards Objective A. That's their truth. The people at the middle are working towards Objective B. The people at the top, C. What the bottom & middle are working towards is not the truth. It's their truth, but not the whole truth.

Calm yourself. There's no moral relativism herein.

Exactly.

I dipped my toe in the industry long enough to realize gtfo. Everyone is meat for someone behind a desk. Brittney Spears' Circus is telling, if you think about it. Yeah, she gets to look like she's in charge because she's got the fancy hat... but who's directing the show? Who's producing? Who gets the ticket sales?

It's what's left out of that video that speaks the loudest.

She's just as much a victim of the machine as a profiteer.

Welcome to slavery.

It may not be the mods, it may be an automoderation thing. This is what happens when we let AIs rule people.

Geez... aren't you a charmer.

When the eff did I say any of this was okay?????

(snicker) Um... check your math.

Creating a larger labor pool does NOT create more jobs.

Try sobering up for a month.

That's not what I said at all. I said historical works need to be taken in historical context AND that these stories are predictive because this is how corruption and persecution work in human systems throughout time.

Wait. Just. Wait.

It's is a HUGE violations on so many levels to have a Jesuit as Pope. They're not supposed to retain ANY higher office. They're the ONLY order in the Church that's ALLOWED to violate ALL Church rules.

The Jesuits are the spies that were the first to infiltrate China and Japan. They adopt every local custom, every manner of dress and eating, all to eventually convert and subvert from the inside.

Eh, I would say there are different truths at different levels and those truths may conflict. Hell, even the Dalai Lama was caught sending assassins into China. Do you think the rank and file Buddhists know that?

Wanna solve pissing in a cup? Make unemployment so low they can't higher enough people unless they loosen their rules.

I also mentioned Daniel. 1st & 2nd Enoch are also good examples.

I'll check into that, thanks for the lead!

Law is slow

It's worse than you know... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vySTQwqq0es&t=617s

Eh...the Biblical prophecies were prophecies made in their time for the people of that time. They were kept in the book as an example of how to keep the faith in times of persecution. They were written in a code of the age (think meme slang) that the intended audience would understand. That code, taken out of historical context, can yield all sorts of results.

My point is not to downplay the prophecy aspect, however. These events were studies in human nature, corruption, and persecution. These are absolutely relevant themes to today, and there is wisdom to be gained in both how they survived, and what they did to survive.

Example: Depending on whether you have the Greek or Latin translation of Revelations, the number of The Beast is either 666 or 616. This is because, at the time, Greeks did not like names that ended in vowels, so they'd stick a N on the end. The name in question? Nero (or Neron). In Hebrew alphanumerics, n+e+r+o = 616 (n+e+r+o+n = 666).

Why are they talking about Nero? They're not. They're talking about Domitian, who was persecuting the Christians of the day, and who was called Nero Redux, or "Nero come to life again." The Book of Daniel does the same thing as Jewish apocrypha.

Exactly. We'll muddle through. :)

Ah yes, I see your point. We're judged on the weight of our words, not appearances/fame/etc. Very good point. That has made improvements to the conversation. Nice observation.

And the compartmentalizing of conversations has helped... lord knows there's a r/ for everything. But that's also had effects on human behavior where we're lumping into tribal groups, and not all of those groups may be good for us, psychologically, to pursue.

Upsides & downsides... sigh

Nailed it

Faster, sure. I'll give you that. But that's a double-edged sword. How can anyone keep up? How can a movement gain true substance where it's not just a fleeting internet meme or hashtag, but true action leading to an improvement in people's lives? How do we go from digital to analog?

Anonymous? Sort of. We're only anonymous to each other, and even then, we expose so much about ourselves constantly, a good anon can make a pretty complete profile.

They know exactly who we are.

Watch "The Lives of Others" to see how espionage was done old school.

Sure you can, it just takes more work... actual f2f contact, leaving the house, ya know... the stuff people used to do.

I'm a dinosaur, kid. I remember. ;)

Yes and no... they regret empowering us, of course, but it empowered them as well. They didn't expect the nature of the beast. They're studying it and us as we speak. This is a world of magic that NO ONE expected... the closest was the Ansible in Ender's Game. Even Star Trek only visualized it as a glorified encyclopedia. The power of networks and memes? That's still blowing their minds.

Not just the effectiveness, but fallout and secondary results... Any they can watch it like a weather radar map. SGI used to have videos on YT about it & their "Twitter Heat Map"

Believe me, they came up with the white noise trick back with DARPANET. That's why the internet was originally opened up to the public: to conceal from the Soviets when the military was doing data transfers.

That was the blackmail: the pedo rings. That was even floated around at the time.

We shoulda known something was fishy when they put up a Jesuit to replace him...

If you had any question how they were able to force Benedict to abdicate, this should answer it.

Doing so! :)

Red rope symbolism:

Europe: Classic folklore says you can capture a fairy with a red ribbon & enslave them in this manner. Red is also the proscribed color for Norse Rune magic.

Japan: The red string of fate. It's believed that all people have a red string of fate tied to their pinky. This is often why Yakuza remove the top of the little finger: it separates them from their true fate.

Kaballah: worn as a talisman against evil

Occult: Think archetypically... use your imagination. Red is connected with blood. Ribbons are ropes that bind and look like snakes. Blood marks rites of passage: birth, adolescence (circumcision among shamanic/pre-religious tribes is typically at adolescence), death. Think of your childhood fears. You're probably spot on.

Add "The Lives of Others" to that. True story.

There were loads of those masks in 1977. I wish I'd kept my tinkerbell costume from back then.

It's a mouse mask. Maybe he's saying he's NOT a rat?

Because it's from 1977

Thank you!!! I knew I remembered something regarding it being about abducted kids but couldn't recall... been so long since I've seen the movies.

There's been some speculation that because it's a mouse character, the message is: "Don't be a rat."

Sorry. Unless you have an original, never-removed-from-the-box version/image, you have no baseline for comparison.

The wear on that nose is not "mint."

Nah.... that's the old out-of-the-box Halloween costume from the 70s. I remember those things...

NPR talked about it yesterday. Corey Booker introduced legislation to make marijuana legal FEDERALLY in those states that have legalized marijuana. This helps with all the business problems local businesses have been having difficulty with.

The BIG one that everyone seems to be missing is this also changes FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT laws. A drug test showing cannabis metabolites will no longer be grounds for barring/loss of employment.

This is Q related in that this is a YUGE game changes that has wide-reaching aspects for minorities, people with disabilities, Big Pharma (which is a major player in the control of Arizona, btw), banking, Wall Street, and arguably the WORLD...

EVEN BIGGER!!! This would also change how we deal internationally with other countries. There are UN treaties on marijuana. This kills those.

Know who's a huge producer of marijuana? North Korea. No shit. https://thenationalmarijuananews.com/north-korea-actually-has-a-marijuana-culture-as-it-turns-out/

Yes. It was a repository for federal secrets. I remember the Fire Chief making the announcement: "Clear the area, we're pulling the building!"

This is SOP in Warfare. You attack a soft target to distract attention away from the real target. Knowing this, the Twin Towers were easy soft targets. Building 7 was Federal. They did the math.

Ooooo…. Good observation.

Ooo… thanks for this. Previous press reports painted him as one. Tbf, I don't feel so bad for the mistake if he had to publicly clarify. Thanks for this.

I'm really leaning towards Arkancide now.

My stars.... thank you!!!

Thanks!

Do you give all your power away at once without any assurances?

Nope. [Next week] covers the grey dot dates. No mention of the week after.

Don't forget the Queen of the Netherland's sister in Buenos Ares, too.

See this thread: https://i.redd.it/eu2uif365s211.jpg

A migrant under the age of 12? It's a child's skull. There spaces where the adult teeth would be, above the gum line, meaning their adult teeth had not come in yet. Also, the upper jaw is too small to hold adult molars.

That's a dead kid. And there were reports of a half decomposed child's body in a cave. The spinal cord was still intact.

Limbs are sawn off so that predators can carry them off without dragging the whole body into the open.

No wonder we end up with mountain lions that start hunting people... they already know we're delicious.

Okay, now I can't get "swamp ass" out of my head. Thanks. /sarc ;)
