They have a plan to replace him.  No idea what it would be, possibly at the convention scheduled for August, but this is one thing where I have to believe the rulers know what they're doing.  There's simply no other reason to do something like this otherwise.

Otherwise, they could just tell him to go out and look presentable, energetic, like someone who's spent the last half-century as a paid politician.  Instead he acts like... Joe Biden, and this is supposed to be some official statement on how Ukraine deserves all the money because their borders are important, like anyone's going to believe him.

That's why I'm convinced they have the plan in place to replace him.  But I can't figure out how they expect that to work.  It's getting too late to replace him on state tickets and they don't even have a replacement ready.  The bar is already so low that even Kamala Harris could qualify.  Ok, they'll just ignore their own rules, but that still leaves with no obvious alternatives which are kind of important if you want to pretend the election isn't stolen.

In theory, the rulers could just be delusion and assume everybody loves Biden the way he is, having made our lives so much better, but I just can't believe that.  They couldn't have gotten this far without somebody who'd be able to point out problems and be listened to.

Just another note about scripture, I've started trying to work out who's related to who and how they named their tribes/cities/states.  I'm only partway done, but I've noted a few things which exemplify what I've looking for, the reason I'm paying so much attention to scripture.

There's part of Numbers where they're dealing with people from Moab.  As you might remember, Moab was only mentioned as a living breathing person very early on, born after the drunken experience Lot had with his daughters after the collapse of Sodom.  And remember, Lot was the good guy who got to survive the disaster.  He'd been the one hanging out at the city gates, looking for strangers to bring home with him.

Anyway, we don't know anything about Moab, he's dead, but his land is still occupied by his descendants.  In the scene in Numbers that caught my eye, there's arguments involving the "elders of Moab" and the "princes of Moab."  This is a living city-state and it's still named after the original founder.  Some descriptions even look like it's an actual person, the identity of a nation, just as Israel is expected to be.  It has a wikipedia page, it was a real city-state.

And that's the point that's being gotten across, building a nation that stands as its own individual.  Thousands of people lived and died to make it happen, but at some level, the effect is the same.  We can see this with the land of Edom, which was an alternate name given (for reasons we'll never know) to Jacob's brother Esau.

It is fun paying attention to this stuff and I haven't even gotten into the actual scripture yet.

Another aspect of scripture I noticed in passing was also at the end of Numbers, or maybe somewhere else, but there was a recap of the 12 children of Israel and their respective sons and their tribes.  I'm just mentioning this as a note because I still need to work through the material to be sure, but it looks like some of the sons were moved around.

Nemuel was listed as a Simeonite, but he's the son of Reuben, not Simeon.  Hamul and Hezron are both called the sons of Phareh, but they were listed elsewhere as the sons of Reuben.  Zerah is also a Simeonite, although he's the son of Judah, as is Phareh.  Worth noting, Simeon, Reuben and Judah are all brothers, begat by Jacob and Leah, so it comes off as a very interconnected family.

It's things like this that tell me is actually the word of God and remembered for centuries, not something pieced together and edited by Babylonian media moguls.  If it was, they'd have fixed the typos and clarified the confusing parts.  Instead, they left it exactly the way it was.

My current theory is that they were probably just as close as it looks like.  It brings a family together, in good ways and bad.  At the dawn of civilization, men didn't know any better.  And it may well be a factual mistake, it must have been very difficult to memorize every name and relation and how would Tribe A settle a disagreement on this with Tribe B?

Or how many people can you remember without looking it up?  Can you name a friend's family members the way Jews remembered Pharez and his father Judah and uncles Simeon and Reuben?  How about their parents, Jacob and Leah?  How about their parents, Isaac and Rebekah?  How about their parents, Abraham and Sarah?  And that's just the ones who became famous and are still remembered.

How about Abraham's father, Terah?  Tarah's father, Nahor?  Nahor's father Serug?  Serug's father Reu?  Reu's father Peleg?  Peleg's father Eber?  Eber's father Salah?  Salah's father Arphaxad?  Arphaxad's father Gomer?  Gomer's father Shem?  Shem's father Noah?  Noah's father, Lamech?  Lamech's father, Methuselah?  Methuselah's father, Enoch?

That's not even counting when more than one person has the same name.  Abraham's brother Nahor had the same name as their grandfather.  The first Enoch was Cain's son.  This Enoch is the son of Jared, who was the son of Mahalaleel, who was the son of Cainan, who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was Adam and Eve's third-born.  Who's going to remember all that?

For that matter, who has time and interest to make that up and convince other people?  If you're willing to do that, you're just not as devoted to the material as those who have believed in it since it was happening right in front of them.

□ [“Former Obama Adviser Susan Rice the ‘Central’ Figure of the Administration’s Border Policy"]

It's just a leak that's probably passed through several people, and really it's just an argument about who to blame.  This is standard leftism, the ruling class needs to find people to purge or they'll be the ones getting it.  And of course it's Obama administration people, they don't even need to worry about elections.  Few of them are even famous, which is how the most effective tyrants like it.  Stalin had been ruling Russia for two years before most citizens had even heard of him.

And it just runs downhill.  Unlike leftism, the military knows it has to actually keep its people together and focused on the mission.  That's why it's the best example of working socialism, because there's a strict chain-of-command and problems are solved at the lowest-possible level.  Even better, individuals are given maximum freedom to do whatever they want within those parameters.  That's why it works.  Leftism doesn't.

You can see why the rulers want a war and why there's already increasing discussion about bringing back the draft.  That's the best way to make everyone government property, especially since they're losing volunteers every day.  Just make it official, people don't get a choice and you stick whatever you want into them if you're in charge.

□ [“White House Confirms No Cognitive Test for Biden’s Upcoming Physical Exam"]

They're just showing off how they can get away with anything and there's no consequences.  That's how Biden's made it this far.  Otherwise, they'd feel obligated to actually show the public what kind of shape he's in.  For that matter, why don't they just lie and say he had the cognitive test and it came out great, here's the scores.

Remember a few years ago when anybody who disagreed were against 'the science'?  Actual proven tests that verify the biological status of their subjects?  But now the rulers can go 'nah, not interested' and those who say what great shape he's in don't need to be scientists themselves.  The peons must accept that.

For that matter, how would this test be something you can choose to avoid?  Nothing about age or leftism, I would think anybody who claims to be POTUS would be required to take this sort of thing on a regular basis to make sure nothing's going wrong, so Biden can do it too.  Or maybe that's the excuse they laugh about in private, that yes, the POTUS does have to take such tests regularly, so that's why Joe Biden is exempt.

□ [“Guns'n'Roses - "The General" (Official Video)]

Showing how up I am on pop culture, G'n'R released a video last month for a song they released last December and I'm just now hearing about it.  It was supposed to be released last October but we know how devote the band is to putting out new material to the audience.  Apparently the basic recordings go back to the late-90s, meaning it's closer to when they were a real band than to today.  It also means they've now released more official material in the 15 years since Chinese Democracy came out than they'd released in the 15 years before it came out.  Not that anybody cares, that's what Axl and his employees have been reduced to.

As a song, it's probably better than almost anything they've released since their crappy cover of "Sympathy for the Devil" in 1994, obviously a low bar.  Like everything else they've done since, it's just sounds piled together with Axl's whining vocals, there's a few bars of low volume noise, then it's repeated.  Then there's a bit of airy whining, again with repeated voculs, and then another repeat of the same verse.  It's possible there's different lyrics or vocals, but to the extent you understand any of it, it's still meaningless.

This is not remotely a song, this is just random noise repeated over and over until it just stops suddenly.  All that said, I kinda liked the sound of the band in the background of the verses.  Buried under tons of noise, but it actually might sound good if it was just a band playing and adding a competent singer.  But that's not what they're paid for.

The video is cgi generated by A.I. and it wins a point for novelty, although it doesn't do anything interesting.  Apparently G'n'R even had a press release about how proud they were to finally have something to release so they could pay someone else to make this.  If you have any fond memories of what Guns'n'Roses used to be 30+ years ago, you aren't missing anything without this song.  If you still want to hear it and have nothing better to do with four minutes of your life, I suppose you could do worse.  Probably.  It's at least 50-50.

Still trying to figure out if the elites actually enjoy this garbage or if they had really expected the world to remain as thrilled by Axl and his employees as we were when I was a teenager.  I also think they were a tool to manufacture a large amount of obedient servants, given how popular the tours have been since Slash and Duff were re-hired.  If you really want to hear Appetite for Destruction, just play the album at home, the way it should be.  Don't spend so much money to hear lousy live versions.

But I remain focused on this band, at least somewhat.  They were never my favorite, but they were high on the list of faves and about the only act on that list who didn't get together until well after I was born.  So they stand out for that, if nothing else.
