They HAVE to keep the 'Ol Sick Corpse alive til Nov. so that Dumbocrat Voterz can be enthused about balloting for the Very First Woman (of Color) President...if he croaks between now and then it'll curb their enthusiasm. Joe the Paperweight/Doorstop Biden hang in there you old pro-Semi-Segregationist! She's basically having Fake media run 2 campaigns even while she hides out and is more reclusive than Michael Jackson or Howard Hughes. One campaign against the Oldest Whitest most racist pedophilic president in 100 years who was selected to be her master in 2020 (poor victimized KowMala!). The second campaigning as Anti-Trump MAGA; the cause of all historic and current injustice and inequity on the planet.

I like to call her Kamaduro

WP William's avatar

Translate PLEASE... KamaDuro that i've heard several times indicates what exactly? Hard Bed i can only assume-- indicating her affinity and adeptness to climb to the top from beneath or to come from behind for a surprise finish? I think i might get it now.

She's worked under some powerful men, and now it should be her turn to mount the highest position and put men under her direction.

KowMala easily translates to Spanglish as a milk cow (for the Lactose-phobic Feminists to digest) and Mala for bad or perhaps even Mad. Cow with evil intention or perhaps MadCow. Colorado's CD 8 Democrat incumbent (funded by Jewish Lobby) Ydira CaraFeo (won last time by 1600 votes allegedly) is yet another moniker play for our Spanish speakers

Loved the story about the praying lady in Britain. think it’s important not to underestimate the intense bravery and effect of a moral, law abiding person going into a situation where he or she is placed in the tenuous space between following God’s authority and following man’s. A silent prayer, an uncovered face, a commitment to live not by lies…this is the protest every one of us can and should practice daily.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” Daniel 3:16-18

Yes, yes, yes. Only problem will be that the people doing this must be ready to get arrested. TPTB can't let these things go. And they will react violently. Some will go to jail. The problem I've seen is that our side is not as organized as they were for MLK's marches. Our side fractures and judges those doing the silent protest as doing something wrong. The police must have had a good reason. There is little to no help with legal challenges to jail time. The people that come out to support the ones doing the work have been abysmally small in ID and CA and WA where I've seen this happen. Part of the issue is the media. Part of the issue is judgment. Part of the issue is apathy. Part of the issue is fear. I don't know how many would show up if the media wasn't biased the way it is.

We still have a grandma in Idaho with an outstanding arrest warrant because she showed up in court in September 2022 in person but the judge was having zoom court and declared her failure to appear. The originating charge was being in a health board meeting sans mask in 2021.

Expand full comment
Susanna Bythesea's avatar

I hear you but I think it’s important to recognize that not everyone can do the same protest but everyone can do SOMETHING. For example, a friend of mine was arrested for not wearing a mask in Dec 2020. She also defied the judge and refused to wear a mask to her multiple court appts - arraignment and then trial (? I don’t know if it was called this; when she was assigned to plead her case and the judge made a determination of guilt and sentenced her). She asked me to come to her court dates along with a few other friends to act as her witness (not speaking just observing treatment, etc). I was the only other one of her witnesses who refused to wear a mask. When I left home each time to go to these court proceedings my husband asked me not to get arrested - we weren’t in a position to make that statement at the time (I am a stay at home mom and had five small children including a nursing baby at home). My friend had made her stand despite it being extremely inconvenient (to say the least) and we had great respect for that. Despite the intensity of both court days (they were SO angry at us for not being compliant; police officers threatened, the judge threatened, a sheriffs deputy shadowed her to court like she was a flight risk…it was nuts) I supported her to the best of my ability in that moment. But my husband and I, and my friend, were in agreement that I would stop short of actually being arrested (that meant one proceeding I had to wait outside instead of in the court room). But I continued to protest by never wearing a mask throughout Covid, despite, as many who did this know - it feeling like that made you a target in many instances. We all have a way we can protest but it might not all look the same.

Liz, this is so hard for me. I absolutely hate confrontation, but there is something in your response that I feel I need to respond to. You are correct when you ponder about how Jesus sees the abortion issue that we face today. I think he looks at us with tears in his eyes, for his little lambs who are so lost on both sides of this issue. I do believe that all life is sacred and that the choice for abortion was not one I could live with- so I had my son at a very young age. I have friends and close relatives who made another choice. My heart is broken that we as the church of Christ have not come alongside those who have gone through this a loving and compassionate way and persecuted those who have had to make this choice. I hope one day we (the Church) can make amends to you for this lack of mercy and grace.

13 and a man has intercourse with her and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she is undetected, although she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act,

14 1if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has defiled herself, or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has not defiled herself,

15 the man shall then bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring as an offering for her one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall not pour oil on it nor put frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of memorial, aa reminder of iniquity.

16 ‘Then the priest shall bring her near and have her stand before the Lord,

17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware vessel; and he shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.

18 ‘The priest shall then have the woman stand before the Lord and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and place the grain offering of memorial in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy, and in the hand of the priest is to be the water of bitterness that brings a curse.

19 ‘The priest shall have her take an oath and shall say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you and if you have not agone astray into uncleanness, being under the authority of your husband, be immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse;

20 if you, however, have agone astray, being under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you”

21 (then the priest shall have the woman swear with the oath of the curse, and the priest shall say to the woman), “the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people by the Lord’s making your thigh waste away and your abdomen swell;

22 and this water that brings a curse shall go into your stomach, and make your abdomen swell and your thigh waste away.” And the woman shall say, “Amen. Amen.”

23 ‘The priest shall then write these curses on a scroll, and he shall wash them off into the water of bitterness.

24 ‘Then he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings a curse, so that the water which brings a curse will go into her and cause bitterness.

25 ‘The priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand, and he shall wave the grain offering before the Lord and bring it to the altar;

26 and the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as its memorial offering and offer it up in smoke on the altar, and afterward he shall make the woman drink the water.

27 ‘When he has made her drink the water, then it shall come about, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, that the water which brings a curse will go into her and cause bitterness, and her abdomen will swell and her thigh will waste away, and the woman will become aa curse among her people.

28 ‘But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will then be free and conceive children.

29 ‘This is the law of jealousy: when a wife, being under the authority of her husband, goes astray and defiles herself,

30 or when a spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife, he shall then make the woman stand before the Lord, and the priest shall apply all this law to her.

31 ‘Moreover, the man will be free from guilt, but that woman shall bear her guilt.’ ”

Completely agree about the two choices… I have heard more than a few testimonies from women who have had abortions at women retreats. It is heart wrenching to hear as they in such pain… thankfully, they do find forgiven in Jesus and they start their healing. As for the other, i think the expression “Birds of a feather…” apply to them. They need to be with others who are in the same pain.

Copernicus's avatar

Hi, Liz,

It's hard to know what to say in these gut-wrenching and soul-tearing situations. Certainly heaping messages of condemnation on the women who regret their abortions is utterly not what Jesus, or human decency, would do. I agree with you that often the zeal to end killing unborn humans brings folks to say and act in ways that do not help women who have unwanted pregnancies or who have had abortions.

The lives of these women matter. They matter deeply. God loves them - each one of them, regardless of their abortions.

It is Evil that twists our guilt into self-hatred and condemnation. Whether that is coming to us from our own minds or from others who condemn.

What is true is that for those who come to Jesus, there is no more condemnation.

Now, do all of his followers live in accordance with this? Nope. However, this is the ideal to which we are called.

I cannot imagine what it must be like for a woman who realizes that she allowed someone to take the life of her unborn little one. The agony. I pray she is able to find forgiveness from Jesus and for herself. The good news of Jesus is precisely that he brings what is dead back to life - he himself is the first example in his death and resurrection.

Blessings to you.

However, focus on God and reaching others and He will do the rest even though evil has compromised the churches.

After an ultrasound, 5 CT's & an MRI, we were told he has metastatic melanoma of unknown source which has spread to lungs, liver, spine, bones, ribs, lymph nodes & the lining of the abdomen. He starts immunotherapy Tuesday." Turbo cancer, for sure!

Last night at our members' meeting, we read our church covenant. I am in agony because everything is just business as usual while so many are suffering.

I am not sure that is quite right as 'the point of everything'. Because without how Salvation works with such concepts as Adoption, Justification, Sanctification, the working of Law and so on, Christianity becomes quite empty, shallow, eviscerated, a de-fanged vessel... almost without point.

In five years at our little country church ... none of the above was preached upon. Never was the Baptist Confession of Faith looked at or expounded up, not once ... and I barely knew that such existed. The people were salt of the earth, but the church was fallen and the people with it.

That the people in your church are eyes wide shut points directly to a fallen pastorate that cannot preach there way out of wet paper bag because the pastors are invincibly ignorant of both theology and the world around them. This may sound harsh, but nothing like what will happen once the world around us becomes totally unglued.

Salvation is important. But Christians after being saved have responsibilities as large a what is in The Book from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation.

At first, I drifted into Christianity almost as against my will. Although that would be somewhat inaccurate. It was more like 'against my inclination.' Some now sixteen or seventeen years ago, the first thing I noticed about the Christian churches, the pastorate in particular, is that the churches could not defend themselves against anything ... and many of the men in church congregations were utterly spineless. It was only when I began to read the Reformation literature, pre-Reformation writings and the 20th Century voices of dissenters did I begin to change my mind about Christianity, and what Christianity is and what Christianity it is not. And what Christianity is not are the mainstream 'Christian Churches' in America from at least the 20th century onwards. Judge for yourself. Judge by the fruit of the vine, and say that this is not so.

And so, while I personally empathize with you and what you say, I must demand that there be clarity in all things. And I cannot abide by the Old and New Testament perversion which is rampant in today's 'churches', more Synagogues of Satan than not. And when you say you rather lose your life than your soul, I count you as sincere. And God bless and preserve you.

Daverkb. Ae you a Reformed Baptist? They are first cousins to us. I read the Puritans regularly.

Expand full comment
daverkb's avatar

We first went to a country Baptist church in rural Virginia. Not Reformed in any Reformation Era sense. Really a fallen church ... but nobody in the church knew this. We ended up more Reformed Presbyterian, Westminster Confession, because all along, I knew something was missing.

I knew that something was missing because I always equated results with causes. I could see that all was broken in the Western World, and I knew that there must be causation to account for this. And I now know that if the Christian pastorate throughout the past centuries in the Collective West had done their job doctrinally correct, we would not be where we are today ... at Death's Doorstep.

I agree with your statements. The Evangelicals have enthusiasm, they emote well ... but what do they understand? I also agree that the Reformation era writers, churchmen, etc., understood the human condition much better than not only the evangelicals, but the rest of nominal Christian believers today now living. The reason for this is that these people understood Scripture with fidelity to words, the meaning of words ... and the organization of words into coherent thought. Amazing people the Reformation people.

And to be honest, who is a Christian these days? It's a question I regularly ask myself. And in truth, much to my astonishment, most churches today calling themselves 'reformed' are not.

Everything is much worse now compared to 100 years ago.

Jesus repeatedly warns us in the last days there will be many who claim Jesus but are deceivers. Not everyone can handle the truth (about human sacrifice etc) as well.

Satanic abortion rituals….we watched this last night and while it’s amazing in the sense these people awakened and saw their need for Jesus….and their transformation…. the satanic blood abortion rituals this woman describes during her former life as a witch is reprehensible and grotesque in all its demonic manifestations. People better wake up. There is a reason the Bible says have nothing to do with witchcraft. Satan is real. And if you doubt the existence of God…..then take a look at this 30 min video from people who participated in the occult. The testimony is amazing.

If you don't believe in God, just look out your window. Creation speaks as to the existence of God. Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse."

Wholeheartedly agree, you are exactly right it says have nothing to do with occult practices whatsoever. That means a Ouija board, tarot cards. psychics, even horoscopes for that matter. When people dabble in this stuff they are opening the door to a spiritual realm that isn't of God, why take the risk?

The Bible says don't do this stuff and those who believe God is real should take it seriously. Also from a simple risk management perspective, how does the benefit of dabbling with this stuff in any way outweigh the risk? Even if it's just goofing around, no good can come from it.

Doesn't this passage from the bible sound like witchcraft?

'Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “This shall be the law of the leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest. And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall examine him; and indeed, if the leprosy is healed in the leper, then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living and clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop. And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field. He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean.'

Christians say not to practice witchcraft or astrology but they celebrate the resurrection of a dead guy on the Sunday after the first full Moon of the Equinox.

And then they drink wine and eat bread as his blood and body and enchant over their animal sacrifices before they feast.

Don't you have a college dorm room bull session you are missing? Most of us grew out of the ignorant atheist phase around the same time we gave up getting stoned and drunk as a lifestyle and actually decided to do something with our lives.

The Bible says don't participate in witchcraft but do remember Christ's resurrection. So there is zero hypocrisy despite your juvenile attempt to link the two.

This is from the Brave search engine's "Ask LEO" AI query. My question was:

Pallets of bricks in chicago for dem convention protests

LEO's answer is:

According to recent reports, pallets of bricks have been discovered near protest sites in Chicago ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC). This development has raised concerns about potential violence and property damage during the demonstrations.

Confirmed by Chicago Police

The Chicago Police Department has confirmed the presence of these bricks, sparking speculation about their origin and purpose. While no group has claimed responsibility, the strategic placement of these pallets in key locations raises concerns about an orchestrated campaign to turn peaceful protests into violent outbursts.

Construction Projects or False Flags?

Contrary to some claims, there is no evidence to suggest that these bricks were deliberately placed for protesters. In some cases, news reports and officials have attributed the pallets to construction projects or existing storage locations, debunking the notion of a coordinated effort to incite violence.

Chicago’s History of Political Machinations

Chicago has a history of political corruption and manipulation, including the infamous 1968 Democratic National Convention protests. The city’s legacy of political machinations raises concerns about the potential for orchestrated chaos and political manipulation during the DNC protests.

Conclusion

The presence of pallets of bricks near DNC protest sites in Chicago is a concerning development that warrants scrutiny. While some may argue that these bricks are simply a coincidence or part of construction projects, others see them as a potential tool for inciting violence and delegitimizing peaceful protests. As the city prepares for the DNC, it is essential to remain vigilant and monitor the situation closely.

Perhaps also used as a turn-off for some, by expecting violence that they may not want to form peacefully in protest. I be only skimmed mms “nus” about the UK riots very apparently deliberate chaos formations. It’s dangerous, no matter what at this point- out of peaceful reach as it appears that there’s going to be backlash. As much as I abhor violence, I cannot stand to see injustice, especially at the hands of control freaks using every fascist technique we’ve likely already experienced or viewed in horror. With our children’s future at stake, I cannot judge anyone taking up defense against such threatening actions. God help us all.

There is a theory out there that at some point soon, FJB will “resign” so that Kackala assumes the mantle of incumbency. NewsMax reported this morning that after FJB’s “speech” tonight, he will be leaving & not staying for the rest of the convention which, for a sitting president, is unprecedented (isn’t EVERYTHING this year???).

As a 62 year old English woman I have concluded that almost all my fellow UK subjects deserve the current nonsense, and they certainly deserve the horrible Labour government as one in five voted for it - in my opinion one in one hundred would have been far too many. (Btw, we are not citizens but subjects of the monarch - that evil, moronic man-child issue of the truly awful, extraordinarily stupid, lazy and complacent Elizabeth the Neglectful).

Why are so many so deserving of these evil times? 99% of them wore masks during the recent massive scam.

Now, I know that mask wearing may seem like a small thing, but imagine if everybody, like me, had decided to call bs on such a diktat. Imagine if they had all laughed at the patently obvious nonsense: the evil government of the time wouldn’t have been able to do a thing. But they didn’t laugh. They avidly watched, listened to and read all the MSM, and became high on the fear. My own brother wore a mask whilst alone in his car. My own sister-in-law told me she wore a mask ‘because we are told to.’ Like most of the U.K. population they don’t question, they just do as they are told by the BBC. And now a very large number of illegal and legal immigrants are being housed in hotels in every town where the once, present and future masked morons live. The morons don’t like it. I don’t like it, but I didn’t vote for it. I didn’t demonstrate to the evil government that I would do anything it told me to do, up to and including poisoning myself with untested ‘vaccines’.

The British won’t rise up. The summer skirmishes were a flash of anger, there have been a few such flashes in the recent past, nothing can or will come of such chaotic events. The woman who prayed silently should be celebrated, but most British people think she’s a religious crank, most of the British masked morons don’t ‘do’ religion, including those who attend churches. Honestly, the native British are too old, too fat and yes, often too stupid, to do anything but whinge. I have become an observer, watching all the sheep nod along to the BBC, the Daily Mirror, The Guardian and The Times.

My late lovely "Mum" was from England, subject to "The Crown," and became a naturalized citizen of the US after marrying my dad. We didn't call her "Mum," because she Americanized her English because she thought it respectful of her adoptive country, but she'd signed cards and such that way occasionally to give us a tickle to our funny bone.
