SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: If weapons and training aren’t for you?

Too bad. What do you think a VOTE is?

Like it or not you have a GUN in your hand.

Watch this video.. this is what a VOTE has the power to do.

Dice.

Communism is no remedy for Imperialism*.

The remedy for Imperialism is nonintervention.

* some conflate Imperialism with Colonialism but they do so, it seems to me, with ulterior motive.

At noon darkness came over the whole land

until three in the afternoon.

And at three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice,

“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?”

which is translated,

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Why did Jesus say this as his last words? It wasn't a cry of desperation; it was an EXPLICIT REFERENCE to Psalm 22 which everyone at the time would have known by heart and recognized. Here are the chilling words of Psalm 22 (excerpt):

But I am a worm, not a man, scorned by men, despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they curl their lips and jeer; they shake their heads at me: “He relied on the LORD—let him deliver him; if he loves him, let him rescue him.” For you drew me forth from the womb, made me safe at my mother’s breasts. Upon you I was thrust from the womb; since my mother bore me you are my God. Do not stay far from me, for trouble is near, and there is no one to help.

Many bulls surround me; fierce bulls of Bashan encircle me. They open their mouths against me, lions that rend and roar. Like water my life drains away; all my bones are disjointed. My heart has become like wax, it melts away within me. As dry as a potsherd is my throat; my tongue cleaves to my palate; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs surround me; a pack of evildoers closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and my feet I can count all my bones. They stare at me and gloat; they divide my garments among them; for my clothing they cast lots. But you, LORD, do not stay far off; my strength, come quickly to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword, my life from the grip of the dog. Save me from the lion’s mouth, my poor life from the horns of wild bulls.

In this final moment, Jesus was calling attention to the insanely specific prophecies from 1000 years before being fulfilled at that exact moment.

My wife caught a swarm of bees this morning at the local rodeo.

They were talking about spraying them with raid to kill them but luckily one of the staff told them not to and called her up..

Our kids got to put on suits for the first time so they could see her transferring them to a new hive up close. They were quite stoked.

Hopefully the bees like their new home and stick around. We need all the pollinators we can get!

I AM SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF OUR TEAM AT OPENSATS.

IF YOU WORKED ALONGSIDE THESE PEOPLE YOU WOULD NOTE IN CAPS TOO.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, CORRUPT POLITICIANS WILL ATTEMPT BITCOIN BANS, WE WILL MAKE THEM IRRELEVANT. 🫡

Today marks 25 years since my country was bombed, in the operation called “Merciful angel” or “Angel of Mercy” - whatever.

In 78 days of air strikes:

- 420k bombs were dropped on us

- 4k died (81 child)

- 25k homes destroyed, plus:

- 14 airports

- 18 kindergartens

- 39 hospitals

- 69 schools

- 176 historical sites

- 500+ kilometers of roads

Etc

I was nine. I remember my nose bled from fear. I don’t know how me being scared caused my nose to bleed, but it happened.

I remembered the duffle bag packed next to the door, with a few cans of food inside of it, some clean clothes, passports, and all gold jewelry we had- cuz we didn’t know if it would get worse.

I still have ptsd triggered every time I head air strikes sirens. Luckily, I don’t hear them much- only when they are testing if those still work, or when are paying tributes to the casualties.

Anyway, for years to follow, my father would use any opportunity to gift us gold jewelry. Why? Because: “If it gets bad again, money won’t worth much. We learned that in 1994. You exchange these ear rings/bracelets/necklaces for food or anything you need.

Nowadays, I don’t have a run away bag prepared. But trust me when I tell you, I could pack one in jut a few minutes.

Nowadays, I don’t buy my kid gold jewelry, I stack sats.

It could be one of the reasons why I’m bitcoining. It gives me a hope. An escape plan, among other things.

As for the first part of my note, let’s stop for a second to think about all kids around the world, their traumas, bleeding noses from fear and sleepless nights. Let’s pray for their beautiful souls and innocent lives.

Is that what that comes to?

There’s a lot of people in the comments saying “but the water wasn’t safe to drink back then!”

Yeah, no shit, but did Jesus turn dirty water into clean water? No. He turned it into wine, at a wedding… like 600+ liters of wine…

It’s clear JC was trying to party. Get over it. nostr:note1mxl7gvjrreet7uxs27k3rmqpahp4ztp7v5gdukd7dv6rq94akufsgpxlhf

Remind me why .1 btc is generational wealth again?

I was asked a while back whether I would be richer if I wasn't Christian. The main implication being that there are so many immoral ways to make money that Christian values prevent. And while I agree that there are ways to make money that are closed off to me, there are also ways to lose money that were closed off, too.

There are a lot of monetary pit traps in the world today. There's all kinds of addictions that can destroy your balance sheet, drugs, sugar, power, games, etc. Christians exercise self-denial muscles through God's grace. So in that sense, I think I've been saved from the many ways in which I could have lost my stack.

To hold is hard. And it requires a lot of self-denial. If you want to hold, Christianity is a sort of super-power.
