This is why just-silently-not-helping was a "strategic" footgun:

not-helping while putting up VISIBLY a set-of-criteria that had to be met before one would join/contribute, could have worked, strategically.

Instead, the countries which deemed Trump's being Netanyahu's puppet to be not-worth-responding-to, have now allowed Trump to do the framing, & use that framing to torque more world-compliance.

( maybe I've just had too much experience dealing with machiavellianism )

ALWAYS make the dispute explicit, always make the standards explicit, always make the triggers explicit, & when a machiavellian's demanding that one be participating in their rabies, enforce that the future will hold one's action to be not-reframeable by that same machiavellian.

Dismissed, .. but not charged.

People, please read the dead-or-missing-scientists chapter from this book: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/hidden-history-13

When I set about validating what it was saying, all that I checked, checked-out.

& please don't include the obviously-not-conspiracy deaths in the "suspicious" category.

That one murdered by a jealous former-colleague, that's just narcissism murdeing someone, same as mass-shooters: it doesn't need any conspiracy.

_ /\ _

The ONLY chapter I've read in this book: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/hidden-history-13

..is the disappeared/murdered scientists chapter, and what it was saying seemed to check out.

That may be the root of the current thing: it may be that the stuff in that chapter primed us to see it happening again..

_ /\ _

Have them detail exactly what resources they'd put against the same set-of-wildfires that they had 1y ago, without these 2 waterbombers, & see how the outcome would change, & then make them accountable for that.

( why the hell wasn't there a S.O.P. to get all such assets fixed as soon as the fire-season ended, just in case parts were delayed? )

Enforce accountability, to the degree we can.

_ /\ _

OK, so AI seems to deem demon-managing ritual to be something it needs to be pushing..

Here's Trump's demon-ritual, from the other night:

https://youtube.com/shorts/v1E-s5BJDEE

'bit of commentary, of course, & I've no guarantee that that video's going to remain up, but .. which is "insaner", in your eyes: the recommendation of an AI, above, XOR the behavior of the US President, ( or his AI-created avatar: it's bad video-quality ), in being cristened from a chalice of blood?

_ /\ _

I think people NEED to segregate the mundane from the possibly-not-mundane, so get the suicides, the neighborhood murders, etc, OUT from the set of the machiavellian ones, because I cannot believe that all scientist-deaths are "suspicious": that's idiocy.

https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/hidden-history-13

I have read ONLY the chapter on the disappeared/murdered scientists, in that book, & it seemed to check-out, when I tried verifying what it was telling me..

You might want to read it..

_ /\ _

Corporations have already established that they, like herds & packs before them, aren't responsible or accountable:

they simply dissipate when either accountability or responsibility threatens.

Authority they wield, but not the other 2, right?

That is fundamental to the narcissism & machiavellianism & sociopathy/psychopathy characteristic of herds, packs, AND corporations, with their collective-identity which vanishes when consequences threaten.

Anybody "surprised" by this principle, when it's been in-evidence for millenis .. has been ignoring it.

_ /\ _

But of course not the people high-up in the Trump regime, oh, no: law only chops-downward, as an axe, not cuts both-ways, like a double-edged-sword, as Lady Justice depicts, of course..

_ /\ _

It was the original, official, version of that image which caused me to understand, finally, that sycophantism & religiosity are related.

_ /\ _

Just reminding people that the Christians' bible warns of the coming beast-lover "Jezebel", or whore, or tramp, or .. strumpet.

To understand the Sahel, right now,

please view this video, Africa Today channel, on the 3 countries who stood-up against the corrupt gov'ts they had ( via military-coup ), & have, while sanctioned simultaneously reduced terrorism & increased their economy.

Eye-opening.

The increasing involvement of Russia's BAD, but the improved-conditions for their citizens, are real.

My life is the consequence of a previous-suicide, committed by a human-category-life that my soul/continuum had before this-life.

Universe recycles ALL energies contained in it, even meaning-energy.

Suicide means waking-up in another life, later, worse-off: all the karma one had on one, before, AND the karma of suicide on top, making things worse.

If you won't believe that universe CONTAINS the meaning-energy in it, & that universe's recycling of ALL energies contained in it, which is the magical-"reasoning" of the materialist/physicalists ( yes, if meaning *consistently alters the behavior of matter, then that ITSELF proves that meaning is physics-REAL, no matter what institutionalized making-believing believes-in ) ..

if you won't believe that universe contains, & will-recycle, you/your-meaning, then by all means make your future-someone's life worse, & pretend that you've no responsibility for doing that..

Sorry to be gruff, but I'd rather people learn this through my mistakes than through millenia of their-own.

The problem, that the New Age types ignore/deny, is that karma can be gained through both yin and yang cause:

my soul/continuum wouldn't believe that murder was in-universe-real, therefore it committed denial against murder, got in murder's face, & .. essentially pulled murder onto this-soul/continuum's cycle. That is yin-acquiring-karma
some continuums/souls murder because they can't believe that others are real, & therefore can't believe that there are any consequences for them. That is yang-acquiring-karma.

BOTH acquire karma.

ALL the continuums/souls which, being unconscious/inexperienced/ignorant don't believe that evil is real .. are prone to getting in evil's face, getting obliterated by evil, & then spending millenia climbing-up "Jacob's Ladder" through universe's recycling of their-continuum.

All the souls who were unable to believe that the inquisition or the 1000+ nazi extermination-camps, or the American Indian human-sacrifice-cults, or the holocausting of the Israelites described in Deuteronomy 20:17 ( "17 Rather you must destroy them completely — the Hitti, the Emori, the Kena‘ani, the P’rizi, the Hivi and the Y’vusi — as Adonai your God has ordered you;" CJB version ), or the holocaustings in Asia, or in Africa, or between non-Jewish Semitic peoples ( Arabs included ), or by the Romans .. all the souls who were unable-to-believe that that is in-universe-real, & go get themselves caught in it .. then have no alternative but to work-through what they got themselves caught-in.

It can't be avoided.

It's like the endless-stream-of-universes is a special trap which entraps ignorant-souls especially-well..

But, exactly as both Hindus & Buddhas have explained: it is entirely possible to harness/yoga one's mind, & to evolve one's mind until nothing in the outer-world is able to harm one, anymore: then one's inner-wealth is sooo great, that one cannot ever be impoverished.

One has earned wealth that one can take with one then, see?

Please read the big-3 books by Elisabeth Haich ( who isn't AwakeSoulist/Buddhist, as I am )

"Initiation"
"The Wisdom of the Tarot", on the archetype-states of human-life's sentience and why they are presented as shuffleable-"cards", because different lives experience them in different order ( the ebook version doesn't include the archetype-illustrations: get the physical-book )
"Sexual ENERGY & Yoga", on why souls caught-in-lives are "male" or "female", & why they want other-than-themselves, which is actually a mistaken perspective, incorrectly believing that what-completes-one is external, instead of one's-own-latent-soul, which is only realizable within.

Haich gives more profound-psychology in her Tarot book, than I've ever found in any other book in Engish.

Please also read Huston Smith's "World Religions", to gain much better framing of human-meaning, life, & world, so you better understand that each branch of humankind specialized in 1 fraction of human-meaning, & each got deep-gift in that-branch's meaning, but now we have to grow-up enough to understand that different individuals need different-branches, so your need may be matched by 1-specific-kind-of-religion, and that might not be the one you were born into..

Huston Smith doesn't pull punches: his books give real intellectual-exercise.

( because I'd experienced soul-memories of other-kinds-of-lives, years earlier, & been forced to ditch the Abrahamic-religions because they were too dumbed-down to match the evidence that carved itself into me, I only read the Hindu, Buddhist, & Primal religion chapters in his book.

& those 3 chapters gave me sooo much leverage, that I outright recommend the book to anyone who's got the mental-horsepower to earn that book's meanings.

It changes one's eyes, so one sees the world-of-human-meaning differently.

I now know that the Buddhists would be wise to understand the Primal religions' key-understanding, as a means of removing ego/self..

only providing this extra-context so you understand that the gold in it from your perspective is going to be different from the gold in it from "my" perspective. : )

As Stephen R. Covey identified, in the important "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families", you can't always choose your circumstance, but you CAN choose how you are, inside, & that decides how your reaction-to circumstance is.

Some would say "what's the point", if one can't be a professional-geek .. ?

IF one can't be a professional geek, well, that's circumstance on one's life.

Does that mean one can't geek?

on one's own..

For the 2-million-years before the IBM PC, personal geeking wasn't really a thing, was it?

All the ones throughout our known history who couldn't play with computers .. all their lives unable to engage what we can do, now, easily.

Including the greatest programmer in history: Lady Ada of Lovelace ( no university, recursive calculus program, 1 century before computers worked ).

You're responsible for your-continuum's/soul's future-condition/consequences.

Same as I'm responsible for mine's.

I may not like it, I may hate my life most of the time, but that-context is non-negotiable.

& the well-below-thinking level of instinct-fear of the consequences of suiciding again .. that is real.

I've nearly done it repeatedly, but always either that underlying-fear, or someone's intervention, or "mere coincidence" intervened, to derail it.

So, I'm paying it forward by trying to get you to understand that universe isn't escapable, now, before you make the same Eternity-damaging-mistake I did, in some previous life.

Sorry if I don't reply to anybody's reply-to-this, I've got 840 notifications on here, & I only live for insights/understandings, not for tangling-lives-together: I want out, & the ONLY out is earning my soul's/continuum's release-from-"me", permanently:

making it OUTGROW this-kind-of-life, so apologies in advance.

Title is factually-wrong:

"Trump Administration Is Using Christianity to Justify Murder and Empire"

SHOULD be

"Trump Administration Is Using 'Christianity' to Justify Murder and Empire"

The whole "justification" for the inquisition's murdering of Jews was that they were guilty of murdering the root-guru of the Christians, benJoseph, right?

The problem with that, is that Gospel of John kept calling benJoseph Rabbi, which is as Jewish as can be, & was calling-out the "Jews", NOT the Jews, but John didn't have falsifying-quotes, because they hadn't been invented yet.

At the beginning of Rev, it's explicit, something like "those who call themselves Jews, but are the synagogue of the adversary" ( CJB version ).

The SAME principle applies to ALL religions: false-Muslims, false-Christians, false-Buddhists, false-Muslims, false-Atheists, etc.

Call-out the false, honestly, & directly.

Put falsifying-quotes on their pretended-religion, for all to see.

Quit helping them to gaslight the world & displace integrity.

I don't have enough dyslexia to help you ( it scrambles letter-order when I write, sometimes ), but wikipedia's got a page on that font, & it's engineered to disambiguate as clearly as possible.

Since the hottest temperatures in the US are recent, not older, that is .. gaslighting.

Maybe they're pretending that the cold-temperatures back in the day were extremes, but the hot temperatures now, aren't?

Pimsleur language learning ( learn at instinct-level, not the prompted-stuff or memorizations that many other language trainings work at )
Tandem app ( probably not great for privacy, been awhile since I tried it ), you help someone learn your language, & they help you learn the target language one you want
simplified short-stories, books of collections of the things..
TV in the target-language
songs because they wire-up your other-hemisphere ( right-hemisphere for the 85% of people who have language in the left ) with the language, & that reinforces the language's patterning
flashcards for the stuff that actually requires you to remember specific arbitrary things, like difficult words, or whatever, for random moments throughout the day

Some of this I got from a book by a guy who knew .. 29 or something? .. languages & worked for the CIA.

Other stuff ( songs ) from science news, & my discovering that language-destroyed-by-stroke people could sometimes still communicate through picking a song which had the idea they were trying to communicate..

I have a bad time learning anything through hearing, though, so .. language-learning seems itself to be kinda broken ( I learned English before anything, & it was my 2nd wave of braindamage which took much learning from my life, not the autism 1st-wave ).

These are the best tools I know-of.

I wish I could learn languages.

I wish everybody learned other-languages, to understand just how diverse humankind's meanings can be..

_ /\ _

IF by "solve the labor equation" you mean remove employment from existing for humans, it's certainly a step in the "right" direction..

Years ago, when I believed that all non-knowledge-worker work ought be automated-away, I read the words of someone of India, who pointed-out that people who either can't, or don't want, higher level of work, have to have work at their level.

& then I began realizing the chauvanism in my attitude..

Some people are wired for doing that kind of work, doing it well, & it helps them work on something in their unconscious-mind's meaning.

Now I understand that there is a whole category of meaning that has zero to do with knowledge-work, that only is reachable through honest physicality ( did a few years of part-time construction work ).

What a healthy economy has, is a complete diversity of kinds of work, & let people have what's good for them, right now ( people change ).

Automating-away all the categories of work possible .. makes humans become .. incapable of autonomy?

& the consequence of that will be slavery, as the concentration-of-wealth-archy progression heads towards its endstate.

That isn't strategy.

Yes, such can work, & work well, but the whole business of looking at the overall-situation, with greater & greater unemployment, heading towards a police-state, & rapidly-increasing homelessness .. lots of people seem to be solving the wrong problems, & creating a paradigm-shift that makes everything worse.

_ /\ _

Pay down the debt, to get that off your people, to the degree that you can!

_ /\ _

Someone did research, a few 2+ decades ago, which did ultrasounds on rodents, & then checked to see if any harm was done to the cells in their guts..

Cell-death was happening in their guts, at a too-high rate, as a result of the ultrasounds.

As any idiot can understand, if that's a normal effect of ultrasounds, that there's no visible damage, but that the cell-death-rate is measurably-increased, then doing that on not-yet-born lives may provide useful information, while damaging those lives.

& the same with turning the tech into a means of gaming.

( actually, typing this in .. I wonder what the correlation is between ultrasound & autism, since autism is definitely a kind of brain-damage, as my life has proven .. is there any population, anywhere, which doesn't get ultrasounded, & do they have a statistically-significantly lower autism-rate? )

The habit of presuming things, like food-industry chemicals, or ultrasounds, or whatever, to be safe, instead of actually measuring isn't competent, or evidence-based-medicine/science: it is .. profitable self-delusion.
