Klaus Schwab’s ‘World Economic Forum’ Cuts Off “All Relations” With Russia, Scrubs Putin From WEF Website
March 10, 2022

No other evidence but I live next to an interstate and it's been looking emptier for the last day or so.  I think we're a few days from collapse.

A video was just released by a trucker filming himself at a gas station, over $1050 to fill up his truck in Tennessee.  He's driving milk because there's no other way to transport milk and points out that next month, we'll be buying milk for $11.

It's a very straight-forward video, directly to the point and deservedly-scary for that reason.

Unlike After Trump's Election, ‘Doomsday Clock’ Will Remain Unchanged Under Biden as Russia Puts Nuclear Arsenal on High Alert
March 10, 2022

□ [“Biden Moves to Revoke ‘Permanent Normal Trade’ Relations with Russia"]

Whoever's in charge of him is actively trying to start a war with a nuclear power and thinks we can win because our soldiers use the correct gender pronouns.  The only other alternative I can think of is that they absolutely don't want us to win and that's why they're doing it.

And they can increase their own tyranny by cutting off any of their people's contacts with Russia, or anyone else they don't like.

□ [“U.S UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield Denies Russian Allegations of Bio Labs in Ukraine"]

They're just doubling down on the lies.  All these decades liberals claim the US is such an evil warmonger, spreading weapons all over the world, defying treaties, and all of a sudden 'we would NEVER do such a thing."  They're including China in the list of enemies.

Did Putin plan this?  Is he the one actually calling the shots, telling Biden what to say and so-on?

Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic have been trying to prove their independence since the 2014 Russian invasion.  Russia supports that, Ukraine doesn't.  We don't know (I don't know) anything about the conflict for the last eight years but if Ukraine has been attacking supposedly-independent nations, then Russia has the right to defend its allies, end of story.  The US *can* get involved if we really need to, so can the EU or the UN.  But do we actually have a reason to?

I'm trying to remember leftist rhetoric from 2003 or 1991, about how we don't care about some far-away nation invading another far-away nation, let them solve their own problems.  Saddam was doing that to Kuwait and the Kurds, Democrats opposed US getting involved.  There were protests and everything.  Whatever happened to those?  Now Biden attacks Syria on his first day in office and nobody minds.  He bombed Somalia a couple weeks ago, where are liberals?

That's what he's doing.  I still have no idea what Putin is doing and still don't like anything China is doing but Soros is projecting his own desires on others, this is what he's worked for his whole life.  The virus and the leftists in charge of our economy wasn't enough, he wants WWIII.

And he needs to come out and give the orders himself?

People who don't steal elections can go "Make sure we don't do anything really stupid, we want to look like we take seriously what's going on in the world.  If we don't, it'll cost us votes."

These people aren't doing that.  They have no incentive to do that, it's not like they're going to lose an election.  This is just a way of putting out the official narrative and everybody has to accept it, no questions permitted.

Biden Whispers into Microphone About Blowing Up the Russian Stock Market
March 11, 2022

Not being religious, I don't read scripture, but a day or so ago, I was thinking of the Tower of Babel, so I looked it up.

The tower itself didn't seem that big of a deal to me, just an early attempt by God's adversary to try to get man to raise up in defiance of God who responded by scattering the people.  Nothing about the tower itself, just a lot of references to everybody speaking the same language and the scattering across the face of the earth was repeated in verse 8 and 9.

As an explanation for the different languages in this region, it makes sense.  The repetition of the scattering suggests God and His adversary both dictated a verse but who did which?

What struck out to me is how, with no connection at all, suddenly it starts covering the generations of Shem.  Shem was one of Noah's sons and was born well before the flood.  I hadn't even looked at Noah so I just discovered now that his great-great-great grandson Peleg died before he did.

At this point, I have to throw up my hands, even if this literally happened the way Genesis says it did, there's no way that these people can be considered human.  You don't get old enough to reproduce and then live through the next *FIVE* generations, not if you're human like we are.

Ok, that's just how God wanted it to work back then and later changed how things work, ok, but that's the same thing, God's will isn't on the same level as human beings and if everybody was living for hundreds of years back then through His will, that's qualifies as totally non-human.

Not putting them down, jus' saying, is all.

And what other options are there to account for the difference in ages?  Maybe their perception of 'years' was far different from ours, but that falls apart when you realize that they were already living in cities - like Babel - so they could watch the season change year after year.  Even if they didn't have actual calendars yet, if you're counting the time between 'first snowfalls,' that's going to add up the years pretty quickly, even if they aren't exactly correct.

It's possible that the term used for 'year' referred to the moon rather than the sun, 'full moon to full moon.'  That's somewhat more workable.  If Noah lived for 950 years and we're counting a year as 'full moon to full moon,' that's roughly 79 years-in-our-time, @29 of those years after the flood.  His descendants are getting really old after they've reproduced but it was a hard life, that's understandable.

The problem there is that Shem's descendants specific reproductions are at much more normal age, even if it's seems a little older than normal.  Most of them were around 30 when they had the son whose lineage would carry on to the next verse.  There's not way their ages there can be turned into moon-years, even Terah who was 70 when he had the kids he's known for and wouldn't have been 6 years old yet when he begat triplets.

The only explanation I can think of there is that the text hadn't been that clear for all those centuries and when the King James translation was given to us by Shakespeare or whoever, they did the best they could to make it workable.

Otherwise, it's just drawing the line from Noah to Abraham and I quite enjoyed that for its own sake.  I come at it from a 'history' perspective so I don't care if I've never heard of these people or read anything about them outside of this scripture.  It's enough to know they kept track of this guy having this son who had this son who had this son who had a son that went and did something else.

Beyond that, it was only verse 29 that stuck out at me.  Since I wasn't planning to read any further (for the time being) I wasn't going to follow the family from Ur to Canaan and find out what happened to them next.  But the buildup to that point mystifies me.

Terah has three sons, one of whom, Haran, begats Lot but then dies young.  Ok, that's sad but it happens.  The other two sons pick wives.  Abram marries Sarai but they don't have children.  [Remember, I'm not reading any further and I know this is the famous Abraham so whether or not he ever reproduces isn't a big deal to me right now.]  But then there's verse 29.

Nahor marries Milcah.  She is "the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah."  WTF?  He's marrying his niece and the text even makes sure to repeat that so we can't miss it?  And then "and the father of Iscah."  Who is Iscah and which male mentioned in the last two phrases is the father?

Even though, not long ago, I was looking at my printed KJV, I can't find it now, so I can't confirm it's the same as this internet version.  I did decide to google and the suggestion is that Iscah is also Haran's son.  Ok, that makes sense but why put it in this verse instead of the previous one that mentioned another of Haran's sons?  It makes sense but it's not completely convincing.  It doesn't help that the writing itself is from before modern-English and a translation of Latin of information dating from the days when Ur was the big place to be and Canaan was becoming the new hot spot.

But that's Genesis 11.
