Still struggling through Leviticus, the first half is not fun to get through.  It's just the specific instructions on different animal sacrifices, not something useful.  It is interesting in the sense that this was the priority.  Don't need laws or morality or even running a brand-new nation, it's the priests who need special outfits when chopping up various forms of cattle that get all the attention.

So I've been going slowly and needed a break.  I was scanning through the upcoming chapters and suddenly Chapter 18 looked quick and easy.  It was, a pleasant change as I learned which family members we can't see naked.  It makes sense, the Jews had been hanging out together for quite a while by this point, so this is probably a new rule they needed to learn yesterday.

This was aimed at men, which is also understandable.  They're in charge and they live in a region of the world where alcohol is the best way to maintain drinkable water, so instructions like this were needed.  There wasn't much precedent for humanity at this point, and their main experience was in Egypt where the most important people are revered for carrying the family line without adding anybody new to the mix.

One detail that stuck out was how virtually every single rule was specifically about seeing them naked.  This is King James, English from the 1600s translating Latin, Greek and Hebrew from centuries earlier, so it's understandable that they didn't use language the same way we do today, but it's not because they didn't know the right words.  Verse 20 is very specific about lying "carnally with thy neighbour's wife."

Ok, got it, but does this mean I can lie carnally with my sister if it's really dark and I don't see her naked?  Morally, biologically, it makes sense, but our understanding of the matter is different in 2024 AD than it was in 2024 BC.  Remember, if we start with 4004 BC as the beginning of Genesis and take the years men were born, begat and died as complete truth, 2024 BC is only a few centuries after the great flood and Noah himself will still live for several more decades.  Noah was ten generations before Abraham who was six generations before Moses.  I'm not sure this chronology works as it's presented in scripture.

Anyway, it's believable that God decided man needs to learn a few things about what not to do.  It is presented in a tedious way, listing how you're related to people, but that makes sense.  They didn't have the sense of family relations we have today, so your mother and your father's wife can be two very different people, but don't see either of them naked.  You may even have a half-sister from Egypt or some other country.  She's still your sister, don't do it.

Granddaughters, aunts, uncles and their wives, even step-sisters, it's just going through a list of all the relations that no, this is bad.  It is very specific about your brother's wife, and yes, we're all thinking of Hunter Biden doing that.  For all intents and purposes, she is your brother whom you are seeing naked.  And yes, we are still thinking of Hunter Biden doing exactly that because that's the kind of family they are.  They learned it from Dad.

The later verses start getting a bit vague, possibly because they're including details which don't seem to be relevant in the matter under discussion.  Verse 17 tells us that if you see a woman naked, you can't see her daughter or granddaughters because that's wicked.

Verse 18 is partially sensible from our perspective and partially not, taking a wife and her sister.  "Beside the other in her lifetime" makes sense out of decency, but it's still a bit unclear in a literal sense.  No threesomes, but...?  It also adds taking her "to vex her."  Getting your wife vexxed off by banging her sister or vexing the sister with evil magical spells?  It could be both, that's entirely possible, just stay away from her.

There's an unclean woman, there's your neighbor's wife, and then we're told no seed shall pass through the fire of Molech.  This suddenly took a different turn.  It's Molech's first mention in scripture, there's several lines about him in a later chapter of Leviticus, and that's it.  Don't give him your seed, don't be his whore, that's all.  If you know who Molech is, you didn't learn it here.

Maybe it made more sense in context at the time, with multiple religions and cults running around, so this was a topic for discussion.  "I like Molech's tax reform and I'm interested in Baal's foreign policy and plans for Palestine, but I just think God would do more to protect my children."

But after Molech, we're told not to lie with men the way we do with women, that's an abomination.  Or beasts, it defiles men to lie with beasts.  Women can't do it either, it just confuses them.  Ok, that's funny, different reasons to forbid the same thing.  And it's gender-specific, there's been no mention of what to do if your daughter or step-sister is hot and bothered for you.  It was an earlier time without traditional family values, but isn't it remotely possible that a girl growing up back then might do something crazy or stupid?

After this, Chapter 18 gets more generic.  It's specifically a nation that does this, and what has happened to the nations that came before. [That's what she said!]  They had defiled the land, so it vomiteth out her inhabitants.  The land is female and it can vomit, that's good to know.

With several more lines about not committing these abominations and the previous nations who were abomined, the Lord tells us this is what we have to do now, or rather, not do.  It would be bad.  End of discussion.  You can get back to work, make sure you sign the attendance roster being passed around, have a nice day.

So this was an interesting change from the first half of Leviticus.  I definitely needed a break from chopping up animals, and this was just short and direct.  As far as not having sex with family members goes, this was probably cutting-edge biology at the time and this would make a big difference in the long term.  It's very unclear why it suddenly switches to covering nationalism, and yet somehow that seems to fit perfectly.

This is an example of what I think scripture's main purpose really is.  From our perspective, it's the word of God, to be thought about and incorporated into our lives.  But more importantly, it's a discussion between God and His adversary, effectively telling the female land to not vomit us out, at least if we're following the rules.  Because we all agree with this, or at least obey, nations are built from these rules, just as the sons of Ham had done, the sons of Shem and Noah.  Abraham was the father of a many nations,  and was effectively a diplomat during a war between other nations.  [Genesis 14]  I suspect that's also the point of renaming Jacob, and why Israel is named after him.

It's as though the man is the seed being planted and the nation is the coat where he grows.  Same policies, same structure, and at their respective levels, the same results.  This is the agreement under discussion between God and the vomiting female land, what will be planted and how it will grow.

It's just speculation, but this is an example of why I'm skeptical about beliefs in Satan, the Devil, or any of the like.  They may actually exist, I'm fine with remaining ignorant about them, but my impression is that they're all subjects to vomiting female land.  She has always promoted earth worship and defiance of God.  Progress has only been made by defying her will, except on those occasions where she's actually learned a lesson from God.  This does happen, but it's not something to rely on.

This is what scripture is actually teaching us.  We can learn many other lessons from this, but God and vomiting female land [yes, if I'm going to keep saying this, I'll need a better name] are both watching us every step of the way.  'All right, you can have all these generations centering their lives around butchering animals for various forms of burnt offerings, but in exchange, you'll stop banging your sister.'  'But, but, but I want the priests to wear girdles and bonnets!'  'All right, but no banging your mother-in-law either.'  'Way cool!'

Sure puts all the earth-worshippers in a different light.  No wonder they'd rather stay in the dark.

‘Transsexualism’ is Rising Wildly in the Military, According to Seven Years of Public Health Data

□ [“United Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 Suffers Gear Failure, Crashes Off Houston Runway"]

This is the second United Airlines problem in two days.  Far as I know, nobody has died from either of these, maybe third time will be the charm.  Last month a wing fell off a United Airlines plane and other parts fell off a United Airlines plane in January.  You can understand why US CEO Scott Kirby's priority is skin color and what gender someone wants to have.  That's far more important than preventing plane crashes, at least according to the guy who's supposed to prevent plane crashes.

It's things like this that makes you wonder if the ruler's goal is to prevent peons from travelling by air, barely a century after they were able to start doing that and maybe a half-century after it became remotely common.  Or is it just incompetence, being promoting DEI rather than airplanes that work?  If UA and the other airlines have any sense, they'll make sure customers know which option is most important, and it's not going to be airplanes that work.

You can see why the left always hated Atlas Shrugged, as every day brings new examples of that book brought to life.  A Russian female atheist can see these problems, but the left can't.  It's probably safe to assume that the airline CEOs and their rich leftist cohorts don't subject their own fossil-fuel burning aircraft to the same low standards they require their customers to conform to.

□ [“Haiti State of Emergency and Curfew Extended – Looted Port Is Shut, Prompting Fears of Famine"]

Because the world doesn't have enough problems.  It's Haiti, so I'm not that bothered by it, but the US is because of our long-standing relationship.  Apparently American citizens can't even escape now, although I'm sure the Clinton Foundation members can come and go as they please, as they've done since the 2010 earthquake that helped them dominate the country however they wanted.

Are the looting gangs working for the Clintons or some other 'new world order' entity or are they working against them in the traditional Haitian manner?  No idea, no clue where this is going to go or who will benefit.  Beyond that, it does look like the sort of thing our masters want to push world-wide.  We expect it to happen everywhere else, but isn't it sensible to really start in Haiti?

Or maybe it's just another excuse to bring in thousands more of these people for "protection."  And their slaves.  There's the centuries of witchcraft, there's the fact that Cuba is right next door to the west and (along with the Dominican Republic) Epstein Island just to the east.  Many interconnected things can happen there.  Although maybe I'm just being paranoid, all these islands are juuuuust outside of the Bermuda Triangle, so nothing bad can happen.

Still haven't given much attention to Biden standing in for the POTUS in a speech to Congress last night.  I have a couple dozen webpages I've barely even looked at, so to the extent I have any idea what happened last night, it sounds like he did provide energy throughout however long it lasted, speaking as coherently as he ever gets and far more than in every other public appearance for the last few decades, which is why he's not allowed to do this very often.

Beyond that, all the attention seems to go towards some comment he made about a woman killed by an illegal alien.  He couldn't be bothered to get the woman's name right, showing how much he cares, and is being attacked by people like Nancy Pelosi and Ilhan Omar for daring to criticize the murderer as an "illegal."  They should write a law to punish anybody who insults a murderer, at least someone who murders a woman.  They're in Congress, they can do that.  It'll totally work for anyone who obeys the law, which illegal immigrants do not.

A couple of days ago, there were a number of articles about media and celebrities attacking any criticism of illegal immigrants, probably a preview for Biden's speech, as well as the upcoming protests against illegals in general.  It's another example of everybody being fed up with this leftist propaganda and our rulers refuse to accept that.  It just shows how they want us replaced and, to the extent they'll keep pretending to allow votes, they're lining up millions of people who have no interest in fair  elections.

□ [“Disney Quietly Cancels Movies and TV Shows as Bob Iger Pretends the Company Is Well-Managed"]

Iger was one of the few people in charge of Disney who actually owns a lot of stock in the company, and he started selling that off a couple weeks ago.  That's a good sign of how much he wants to remain in control.  I'll just assume the upcoming elections will be stolen, but we'll see.

The quiet cancellations show how unserious he is about this.  This should be the sort of thing that should be a public event, showing as many people as possible how he's changed his ways.  Bring in Sydney Sweeney or whoever in a skimpy outfit to present a list of cards in the next cancellation.  Wouldn't be hard to make it entertaining, for that matter.  I can't think of any songs about humiliation off the top of my head, but bring in some big music stars to play those songs in the process.

He was in charge of Disney for a long time, he was gone for what, a year or so, and he's been back since then.  Can't blame your temporary replacement, he needs to admit that he's the problem if he wants any chance of fixing things.  Obviously he can't do that, but just go with it for the sake of argument.

To to the extent I have any interest in whatever Disney does, it's all based on youthful interest in Marvel.  This is also demonstrating the problems of having any kind of creative franchise.  To me, Star Wars is three movies, nothing else.  Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is one of my favorite movies of all time but that and Howard the Duck are the only other Lucasfilm releases I've seen and liked.  To me, Pixar is limited to The Incredibles and I've seen "Luxo Jr." at some point but no idea where.  [Liquid Television?  A short before some Disney movie I saw decades ago?]  So I'm interested in this for the collapse and whatever historical interest I have in Disney, no other attachment.

The problem with a franchise is that you're limited to the characters and, if you're going to move outside animation, that limits you to the actors.  The world waited decades for a Han Solo movie and when we finally got one, it was the first huge bomb in Lucasfilm history.  The Marvel characters weren't about forming a franchise, they were about helping the respective creators [mostly Stan/Jack/Steve] fill pages with entertaining stories that stood on their own.

It's possible to go a different way, like James Bond or Dr. Who, which do focus entirely on the characters, but then you need to get those right or it's over.  That even goes back to cartoons, when was the last time anyone wanted to see the new Mickey Mouse adventure?

It also helps that comics, and cartoons, are a regularly scheduled release.  20-some pages a month, that once you get a copy, you can read over and over and compare to other comics without paying for it.  The Simpsons did a good job on this as well, with a weekly series, before it gained all the drawbacks of a franchise with none of the benefits.  But in these cases, you can still produce the regular work and that's good enough for everybody concerned.

But with franchises or Disney, there's the massive corporate weight overwhelming everything.  They have to focus on their own I.P. so there's no point to creating anything new.  Merchandising and test groups aren't free, so that needs to be accounted for.  Can't do any stories that don't connect to every single other part of the company, and that's not even including the obsession with superheroes, but it all accounted for even without going *woke.*

My affection for superheroes is as a fond memory.  One reason I enjoy the Avengers movies so much is because they're characters that I never had emotional connection to, but I'd been engaged in enough Marvel comics that I knew everything I needed to know about them to enjoy the movie versions.  But I've had more than enough fictional muscle men in tights, and so have the people who never had an interest in the genre.

So Disney spending tons of money on worthless tv shows and movies, and now having to cancel them, is very entertaining in its own way, but not on behalf of Disney.  And Bob Iger, who made all this happen, now pretends to be noble and courageous enough to start cancelling the ones that aren't good enough.  Where were you before wasting all this money, Bob?  You were exactly where you are now.

You claim you watched each of these movies "three to five times" and got paid for that, but now you want to get rid of the ones that aren't good enough.  You could have said that five years ago, well before you took your 11-month vacation.  By the way, Avengers:  Endgame came out almost five years ago, for those keeping track, and what has Iger added to the franchise since?  What has he spent on the franchise since?

At this point, I'm cynical enough to assume the board votes will be stolen and Disney/Iger will carry on their merry way.  But they've already got people raging against them, and those are just the ones with well-paid Disney salaries.  Then there's the rest of us poor people who don't want any more of this.  It's not something you can come back from, at least not without a serious amount of self-evaluation and taking other people seriously.  But people like that want nothing to do with Disney, so who does that leave you with?

They're going to keep trying and they're going to have successes, but something about the last several weeks has the *woke* agenda has reached its maximum level.  It's a bit simplified, but collectively all our problems come from leftists pretending they fight problems and the only solution is to give them more power against everything they hate, which is basically everything that exists in reality.

□ [“Senate Dems Drop $1 Million Funding Plan for LGBT ‘Fetish’ Center"]

They keep looking for new weapons, such as the *woke* agenda, they never admit any mistakes and they always go after children.  They're just increasing suffering as an excuse to keep fighting it but they never succeed at that either.  However you want to describe Trump as POTUS, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that this was the point, that either they'd overthrow him to impose this tyranny and be overthrown themselves or he was always working for them as an excuse to expand tyranny, and that won't work either.

As always, the worry is what they're going to do when things finally get real.  They can turn off the economy, they can send in even more armed invaders, they can launch nukes and bioweapons.  From our perspective, they have all the weapons.  But we have the numbers and there is a level where even they have to admit failure before they can actually do anything.  We can only pray that they'll can't do much worse than they already have, before the 'worse' happens to them first.
