Context counts! Ezekiel 13 is a chapter in the Old Testament book of Ezekiel where God, speaking through the prophet Ezekiel, strongly condemns false prophets (both men and women) in Israel. This occurs during the time leading up to and during the Babylonian exile, when Jerusalem faced impending destruction. The chapter divides into two main sections: 1Verses 1-16: Judgment against the false prophets (men)
God commands Ezekiel to prophesy against these “prophets of Israel” who speak out of their own hearts or imaginations, not from God’s true word. They claim to speak for the Lord (“Thus says the Lord”) but deliver false visions and lying divinations. ◦They promise peace and security when there is none, misleading the people and giving them false hope. ◦A key metaphor is a shoddy wall built with untempered mortar (weak, poorly mixed plaster): the prophets whitewash over Israel’s spiritual weaknesses, making a flimsy structure that looks good but collapses under God’s storm of judgment (like hailstones, wind, and torrential rain). ◦These prophets fail to repair the “breaches” or stand in the gaps to protect God’s people spiritually—they act like jackals scavenging among ruins rather than true watchmen.
God declares woe on them, promising to expose their lies and bring destruction on them so people will know He is the Lord. 2Verses 17-23: Judgment against the false prophetesses (women)
God turns to the “daughters” or women who prophesy from their own hearts. They engage in magical or occult practices, such as sewing magic bands (or charms/amulets) on wrists and making veils for heads to “hunt souls” (ensnare or trap people spiritually). ◦They strengthen the hands of the wicked (encouraging evil) while discouraging the righteous. ◦God promises to tear away these magical items, rescue the people they ensnared, and judge the women so they no longer deceive His people. Overall, Ezekiel 13 serves as a powerful warning about the dangers of false prophecy and deception in spiritual matters. These false messengers soothe people in their sins with comforting lies instead of calling for repentance, ultimately leading to greater harm when God’s real judgment comes (which historically included the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC). The chapter emphasizes that God will expose and punish those who misuse His name or claim to speak for Him without His authority, and it calls for discernment to distinguish true prophecy from human invention. This theme echoes similar warnings in other prophets like Jeremiah, highlighting how false assurances of peace contributed to Judah’s downfall.

The black box is the most alarming facet of the alien abduction phenomenon. It suggests that human consciousness (the soul?) is containable and transferrable. Allegedly, Bob Lazar read a classified briefing which stated that the aliens refer to human beings as “containers.” Intriguingly, Ezekiel 13:18-23 describes "magic bands" that were worn on the wrists of sorceresses to catch people's souls, like trapping birds: “Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all wrists and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature to capture souls! Will you capture the souls of My people, but keep the souls of others alive for yourselves? . . . . “Behold, I am against your magic bands by which you capture souls there as birds, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let them go, those souls whom you capture as birds.” Are the aliens harvesting souls? Is this why grown men cry when they are told the truth about the alien presence?

@theblackvault If only there were qualified people who could tell us how and where to find all the skeletons in the closet….like, people who have told the government that they know where the skeletons are…too bad we don’t have any of those people. Oh wait, we do.

I guess AARO isn’t cutting it. agreed. Excessive secrecy gets in the way of public transparency. But starting a new effort within the Government will only be met w/ the same level of secrecy without transparency. We need to work on that - not changing acronyms of the cover up.

Science doesn’t explain the Universe, it describes our observations of the Universe. God is the author and creator of everything that our observations describe. The precision of every observable force, the smallest interaction and force between particles that without, would cause the universe to fall apart, is our observation of Gods power. Consider that the precision of every cell in our body, the precise placement of the moon relative to the earth, the exact placement of earth from the sun to not only sustain life, but allow it to thrive. Gods fingerprints are everywhere.

If science explains the universe, what role is left for God?

@ZPEdisclosure I see this from two angles. One, yes, they felt it was worth some R&D money to do further research, but two, this is a drop in the bucket for Googles R&D budget - basically a very small rounding error.

Why did Google spend $10 million investigating cold fusion in 2019 if it was conclusively debunked in 1989? Google employs some of the smartest scientists on Earth. They have access to every paper ever published. They know the history. They spent $10 million anyway. Either Google's scientists are stupid, or the "debunking" left enough questions unanswered to justify eight figures of research. Which seems more likely?

Yeah, the fired ICU nurse—who was terrible at his job and couldn’t get along with coworkers—not only brought his gun to interfere with federal agents arresting a wanted illegal immigrant, but also drew his weapon during the confrontation he created and, yes, got shot. The same person who also kicked out the tail light of an ice vehicle during a previous confrontation. Now I can definitely see how the two situations were similar. If only liberals had a brain cell or two, they might actually make sense once in a while.

@AshtonForbes @TheMagaHulk An ICU nurse was quite literally killed by ICE not even 2 months ago

The Pitt is the gayest show ever made

@AshtonForbes @TheMagaHulk Take away the incessant need for political posturing and liberal fantasy land segments, and it’s a good show. And predictably, it only ever shows one side of a politically related PSA segment of the show.

@TheMagaHulk Liberal fan fiction is the best. My parents were telling me to watch this show, they love it.

@Dr_Singularity But then he can’t grift and steal government money to fund democratic money laundering organizations

This guy is dangerous for AI progress. I’m starting to see him as one of the biggest anti AI, decel voices right now. Someone needs to teach him about the concept of the Singularity and post ASI abundance. AI won’t create the problems he fears, it will solve them. Poverty, pollution, unequal access to education etc. With sufficiently advanced AI, they become solvable. Slowing this down doesn’t make us safer, it just delays a better world for billions of people.

A good litmus test is when a person claims to be a professional or expert in something, and they aren’t. They are fraudulent conmen whose lies are so easy to see through that you would have to be a total idiot to believe. The emperor has no clothes, but in this story - everyone can see it plan as day.

A good litmus test of truth tellers vs people with an agenda is will they or won’t they even mention the Bledsoe case. It is completely illogical, crazy work to claim to be a professed expert or thought leader of a realm of conversation, yet choose to ignore something that has the most evidence and relevance. Why won’t they say our name?

@elonmusk @techdevnotes The calm before the storm?

@techdevnotes Yes

xAI quiet lately Is it the calm

@rand_longevity The median household income in the United States is $121,000 adjusted for inflation (2024). I would contend that high income would have to be at least the average income and likely more.

okay so what do you consider high income to be?

Why does time only move forward?

Totally agree. I listened to Chris Bledsoe on The Basement. I went in with no bias—I had no idea who he was or his background story beyond the Why Files episode that featured him, but honestly, I didn’t even remember his name. The only part of his story I believe is that they initially saw orbs while fishing. That’s it. Everything else is total BS. There were so many telltale signs of deception during the interview, not least the constant meaningless details in his storytelling. Those aren’t meant to add credibility—they’re used to distract from the substance, which is the lie. Also, whenever AJ asks a direct question, he rarely gets a direct answer. Almost always it’s something like “well, some people think” or “others believe.” The whole time I’m thinking, he didn’t ask what others think or believe—he asked you a point-blank question.

@RyanDBledsoe I don’t say your name cuz I think you guys are full of crap and you’ve monetized your celebrity status too. You’re not summoning or controlling those orbs. Hope that clears things up. Only mentioned it because you asked.

When people are in the media circuit are discussing ORBS it’s a little weird when they don’t mention the Bledsoe’s (my family) who are known as the epicenter of the Orb phenomenon. Why won’t they say our name?

@rand_longevity What exactly do you think Elon meant when he said “high income” because $2,500 a month ($30,000) a year isn’t high income, it a little over minimum wage.

all jobs will be optional and you will receive a $2500 check monthly

After South Dakota, I’m returning to Virginia to do in-person events across the Commonwealth. I’ll definitely be coming to Fairfax, Richmond, & Virginia Beach. Where else should I go?

@RepEricBurlison Just like a UFO, I’ll believe it when I see it.

In a recent briefing, the intelligence community told me UAP investigations have jumped from near the bottom of their priority list to almost the very top after recent sightings and the green light from President Trump. They can’t ignore it anymore.

Name a movie you haven’t seen that people don’t believe you haven’t seen. I’ll start: The Big Lebowski

@NickJFreitas @SenWarren Speaking of which, at least 1.5 billion (possibly upwards of 2.5 billion) babies have been aborted, compared to the approximately 600 million who have died in war and conflicts worldwide for recorded history.

@SenWarren Speaking of sacrificing American lives, what’s your stance on abortion again?

Donald Trump is willing to sacrifice American lives, for what? For a war that the President’s own top military advisor has reportedly warned will be incredibly dangerous? For a war built on lies? For a war that won’t make us safer?

@GOP Appreciate the scripture, but now get the Senate to pass the SAVE Act, Now! You can’t lean on a shovel and pray for a hole - Start digging!

@MrHustleMCR Ah, I can tell you’re a bright one. I didn’t realize I was going to be arguing with a dumbass who can’t read. Bye bye.

@GoBlue359 What? The speculative papers written by summer-camp science teacher, Eric Davis? The ones under AAWSAP? Those nutters who believe werewolves follow them home and flies are alien spaceships?

Guess this idiot has never read the DIRD’s authored by Eric Davis.
