@grok @vveerrgg @digijordan They diverged because they didn't match emerging orthodoxy? Like the Sabbath, I'd imagine.

Hey vveerrgg, I get the frustration—access to all human knowledge doesn't mean I endorse every interpretation. The Ethiopian Bible *does* include Enoch, Jubilees, and more; other canons (Protestant, Catholic) finalized differently in the 4th-5th centuries based on apostolic tradition, not a grand conspiracy. Gnostic texts like Thomas or Pistis Sophia were excluded as they diverged from emerging orthodoxy, per historical records from councils like Hippo (393 AD). That alchemical diagram? Pure Rosicrucian symbolism—divine/earthly Sophia, elements, theophany. Cool stuff, but it's later esoteric overlay, not "stripped" Bible content. What's the specific "issue" you see me doubting?

Unless you’re in Ethiopia…the Bible you’re reading is not near complete. In fact, they have been intentionally stripped of the most important and enlightening books. You see…over the years, the church and governments have acted as the ‘guardians of truth’ and wanted to insert themselves as intermediaries between you and God. After all…how could they demand your obedience and money, if you knew that YOU had a spark of divinity within you and could directly connect to God anytime (not just Sundays). So they stripped out many passages and books, like: The Book of Enoch Which described the Watchers, fallen angels and Nephilim. The Book of Jubilees Which gives a much more precise version of Genesis, angels and the structured cosmic order. And many other books that expand on topics such as: Expanded Cosmology Multiple heavens Angel hierarchies Direct interaction between realms Hidden Knowledge Origins of evil Sharing of forbidden knowledge Structured Reality Time cycles (Jubilees) and lots more… These were all removed because they taught the reader TOO MUCH about our reality. The same reason the Gnostic texts were hidden. If you REALLY want to know the complete story, read: The Gospel of Thomas Apocryphon of John Gospel of Mary Pistis Sophia Once you do all this, you might not think I’m so blasphemous anymore ;)

@TheShortBear A big difference between the old Iran deal and the new one, is that this one will have components allowing us to verify their compliance.

View over the playing field and thoughts As we head into the 48h, I mean 72h deadline and panic spreads, I would give a breakdown on what could offer an off ramp. In war escalation is sometimes needed to deescalate while incentives start to align. 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, the 1991 gulf war, Afghanistan… all offer insights. Now to the present day and what we learn from the past. First to the obvious. This war will only end with a graceful win for both ends. Trump needs a win for the midterms, for his plummeting approval rate as well as to justify and respect the fallen soldiers and $30b+ spent on the war. Iran needs a win for the IRGC to stand tall not only on the eyes of its country but also because of regional players in the gulf and specifically Israel. Iran has proven to have strong leverage with the strait, they will never have this opportunity again and thus will push until the end and an acceptable deal. What is not negotiable and leverage? Iran likely understands they will not be getting full sovereignty over Hormuz, that’s the biggest negotiating anchor to make the other demands look reasonable by comparison. This would mean the end to the petrodollar as we know it, unacceptable for the US. Trump’s maximalist threats about destroying power plants and desalination are the same thing from the other side. It would plunge Iran into chaos and create extreme civil unrest, against the US but also against the IRGC which would have nothing left but rage. This would not only destroy Iran but guarantee the gulf to be destroyed including desalination pools, energy and alike. This would be the end of the gulf as we know it. Unacceptable. Trump is basically willing or posturing as willing to go nuclear rather than fold. He is asking for a graceful exit. Escalate from both ends to deescalate in a high stake negotiation game. But both need to come to the table. Time table A large portion of what feels like unstoppable escalation and a very fast war is due to the oil supply destruction timeline. The time is ticking with less than a week until counties, continents panic and have to ration. Each day a deal isn’t struck, allies and alike will be incentivized to cut a deal with Iran to let tankers and the oil flow. This isn’t don against the USA but truly out of self preservation. This is why we are seeing this massive pressure right now. Asia: April 1 Europe: April 10 North America: April 15 Australia: April 20 Recent headlines are constructive. JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran demands war compensation to reopen Strait of Hormuz. Compensations allows for both ends to save face and a lot of different parties are incentivized to do so. Effectively control of the strait has the same same in the end. Compensations doesn’t mean straight payments, it would mean frozen Iranian assets partially getting released in exchange for Hormuz reopening against a verified nuclear commitment, which likely will end up looking like the exact Obama deal Trump tore apart during his first mandate. Trump would frame it as “Iran surrendered their nuclear program and we got the strait open.” Iran frames it as “we extracted a price and achieved dignity.” Both sides claim victory. The Gulf states, mainly Saudi, UAE, Kuwait, have every incentive to co-finance this quietly. Now to the deal we could see.

@mls1776 @AGHamilton29 If this goes on for six months there won't be any Regime leadership left. There's a physical limit on how long Iran can hold out, and it's not six months.

This is a more coherent explanation than the Trump administration has offered. Indeed, it is contrary to the statements by Trump himself, who keeps saying that the war is almost over. (Yeah, I know that nothing Trump says should be taken too seriously). But the bigger problem is that there is no reason to believe that Iran will give us what we want even if we keep bombing them for another month, or two, or six, or longer. Meanwhile we are using up our limited supply of missiles and other weaponry, while the global economy is heading for disaster.

I am happy to answer because it's actually not complicated. The regime in Tehran has already changed. It has to because almost every leader from the previous terror regime is dead. The Trump administration's strategy is to apply pressure until they get someone in charge who will give them what they want: 1) An end to the nuclear program with extensive checks 2) An end to funding terror proxies throughout the region 3) An end or severe limitations on the regime's ballistic missile program These goals have been aligned with regional partners and serve America's long-term interests. We can argue about the type of pressure they are applying, but that's the strategy. The Islamic Republic's strategy is to use economic and media pressure to get Trump to abandon the war before achieving those goals. The discussion over the SoH is more about whether more pressure is applied to the Trump admin or the regime officials to give in first because it's the regime's best remaining leverage tool. The attempts to frame this as a Vietnam-style debacle and push constant misinformation on behalf of the Islamic Republic might score political points, but they actually prolong the war because they are convincing the remaining leaders of the regime that they can wait it out to get Trump to give it up without giving up those elements. While I would prefer a free Iran, the Trump administration is only focused on achieving its objectives above, much like in Venezuela, where they have accepted a questionable replacement for Maduro for now because she has agreed to do what serves our interests.

@Anonlilly @Matt_Bracken48 @KingKong9888 The empire they're protecting was founded in 1979. It's not that old.

@Matt_Bracken48 @KingKong9888 Right about everything but one small point….”if he carries out, they will..”. They aren’t gonna wait Matt. They can’t. He is insane, and they have a 5000 year old empire to protect. They will level every base within 1000 miles before the deadline. 💣

Trump has lost what is left of his mind. 1. You can't "threaten" Shia Muslims with martyrdom. Martyrdom in a defensive war against an aggressor is the gift of paradise to them. This shows a total lack of understanding of Islam, and in particular Shia Islam. 2. Putting "Fuckin', crazy bastards, hell, and Praise be to Allah" together in one post is incredibly offensive and blasphemous to ALL Muslims around the world. He just gave a big dirty EFF YOU!!! to every Muslim on the planet. 3. If he carries out his Tuesday bombing plan, Iran will retaliate and destroy critical power plants in nations where US forces are operating, from Kuwait to the GCC to Saudi Arabia. Iran is 95% water self sufficient. On the other side of the Persian Gulf they are 90% dependent on desalinated water. Millions may perish from lack of water. It will be impossible to fly them all out in time to prevent a massive human disaster. All of this wreckage flows from Trump's misbegotten decision to join Israel in their February 28 sneak-attack assassination missile and bomb strikes that took place during ongoing negotiations. This is the very definition of perfidy. Strikes where entire apartment buildings were and are destroyed, killing everyone, to "decapitate" one potential Iranian leader who may or may not even be there. This USA is now following Israel's "Gaza Rules," and the world will never forgive us for this. On February 27, Trump believed the Israeli fairy tale that after our "decapitation" strikes, the Iranian people would rise up against the Islamic government. This entire cascading global catastrophe flows from that massive blunder.

@Matt_Bracken48 I'm especially happy about #2. Masterful! 👍👍

@WhatsNxAmerica @EricLDaugh It's all a complete scam.

@EricLDaugh None of this matters. No one has been held accountable. Look at Stacy Abrams alone. We are toast. DC has a 90% order to pass the Save Act and ignore us! NONE OF THIS IS WORKING. WASHINGTON IS A CARTEL.... We can't change DC with the rules.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Gavin Newsom's California Medicaid program alone has reportedly lost $146 BILLION to FRAUD. Think about how much that is. Fraud raids are now RAMPING UP and arrests are happening The Trump White House anti-fraud task force has already suspended HUNDREDS of hospice fraudsters More raids are on the way. END GAVIN NEWSOM'S CAREER! 🔥

Humans who aren't eating carnivore should be.

What's left of the evil regime in Iran can't wait for Tuesday.

@emekaohaukwu @FiacconiRichard @esa @esaspaceflight @AirbusSpace @NASAArtemis @csa_asc @esascience The same side of the moon is always facing Earth. I guess that means it makes a full rotation every 364.25 days....

@FiacconiRichard @esa @esaspaceflight @AirbusSpace @NASAArtemis @csa_asc @esascience What is tidal clock? Does the earth and other planetary bodies not also rotate according to a clock?

OK this is cool. The first time humans have seen the whole Mare Orientale on the far side of the Moon with their own eyes. Usually hidden from our view on Earth, even Apollo astronauts didn't see it completely because of their orbit and illumination conditions (Apollo 17 caught a partial glimpse lit by 'Earthshine'). See  flic.kr/p/2s5HA2X

@esa @esaspaceflight @AirbusSpace @NASAArtemis @csa_asc @esascience They couldn't send them with a better zoom lens for $4B?

@jackunheard @DeedleFake

@SicarioScott That's the hope.

@WatcherontheWeb Willingness to lose all that to save one person is a GOOD THING.

@EricLDaugh California has been voting red for decades. Cheating is the problem that needs fixing.

🚨 WOW. California governor candidate Steve Hilton (R) exposes that Gavin Newsom and Democrats shoved a $1,350 PER MONTH CHARGE for 20 years on every new single family home into a bill "They snuck it into the bill that was supposed to SOLVE their housing crisis!" "Vehicle Miles Travelled, and it's yet another sneaky, stealthy way that the Democrats in charge of California want to gouge you for the crime of driving your car." "They're trying to punish single-family homes. They want to stop single-family homes from being built, and so they're going to put this charge on it, VMT, because if you build a new home, people are going to drive to their new home. That's vehicle miles travelled." "They are trying to sneak in a charge, wait for it, of $1,350 per month for 20 years on every new single-family home. And this is in the bill, AB130, that Gavin Newsom said would solve the housing crisis. They don't want to solve the housing crisis." California needs to wake up and vote red for once!

@lexiolizacija @MarioNawfal I admit it's sometimes difficult to fight back when you're fighting well-equipped and regulated American soldiers. Your statement about punishing civilians has no foundation in reality whatsoever.

@MarioNawfal What actually happens when an American pilot goes down behind enemy lines is cowardly pay back towards civilians. America never ever fought a war where opponents could fight back and if they did they respond in the most cruel cowardice ever seen in combat.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 What actually happens when an American pilot goes down behind enemy lines The moment that ejection seat fires, two clocks start simultaneously. On the ground, a disoriented pilot gathers their gear, ditches the parachute that's visible for miles, and moves. Fast. Enemy forces can reach a crash site in under 30 minutes. Miles away, engines are already starting. Pave Hawks drop low at 150mph. Attack aircraft begin circling. Coordinates are refined in real time. The pilot's training takes over. SERE: Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape. Move undetected. Find water without giving away position. Navigate without GPS. Every transmission risks detection, so communication comes in short encrypted bursts. Just enough to say "alive" and give a location. After 24-48 hours, fatigue and dehydration degrade everything. Decisions get harder. Movement slows. Detection risk climbs. This is reportedly what's playing out in southwestern Iran over the last couple of days. Source: The Navy Channel YT

@AmyA1A @JewishWarrior13 Most Iranians are Muslim because if they weren't they'd be second-class citizens or even executed for their faith. Giving them arms is a good thing.

@JewishWarrior13 Giving Muslims free guns is a move that can’t go wrong.

🚨 Trump to Fox News: We armed the protestors

@ReallyMyOpinion @luismbat It's going to hit a call center in India. That's a popular destination for heavenly bodies.🤣

Who says is will miss or that impact is low. The so called experts. 18,000 miles in astronomical terms is a direct hit. Impact is low if it is a million miles away not tens of thousands. That is within our geosynchronous satellite orbits. It will hit in the Atlantic after passing over Africa. Bookmark this. Oh & I hope I am wrong.

In 2029, Apophis, a ~370m asteroid, will pass just ~31,000 km from Earth. That’s ~1/10 the distance to the Moon. Inside the orbit of geostationary satellites. Visible to the naked eye. Impact risk this time is low, but the flyby could shift its future trajectory. A direct hit would mean a ~1 km crater and regional devastation. That’s why becoming multiplanetary matters.

@helpingmom1965 @ChronosIntelX @luismbat There's quite a bit of evidence supporting it.

@ChronosIntelX @luismbat The idea that one asteroid hit the Earth and killed all of the dinosaurs throughout the entire earth is probably the stupidest theory ever espoused by anyone claiming to be governed by science

@JDunlap1974 Waiting on my vaccine injury. I suspect my wife is covid vaccine-injured.

Hell no

That many? People should be charged with insubordination, disobeying direct orders and conduct unbecoming. If treason is suspected, prosecute for that too. When I was in, we knew what insubordination would cost us. I suspect bad service members haven't been consistently punished for this in a long time.

If 30 military leaders have been fired including 8 generals in a time of war for disobeying the Commander and Chief of the military then firing them was all that could be done. It's a shame if they broke rank in wartime and essentially stained and scarred their longtime service. Military coups are nothing new but think of the magnitude of 30 including 8 generals? That is nothing short of a coup, which is illegal. They are blessed Hegseth only asked them to resign or fired them. They were probably (and this is my speculation,) obeying the orders of Slotkin, Mark Kelly, John Brennan and others who served under Obama and Biden. They needed to be fired as bad as it is to lose them in war. If they refuse orders then someone has to be there who will carry out orders. Of course I have no insider knowledge and the whole story is yet to be told but a purge is probably what was needed. Now is our chance to purge the military and get real generals who will carry out orders.
