Can you clarify for me, is a zap the sending of Bitcoin via Lightning, or is it a message that accompanies the Bitcoin sent over nostr?

The secular view of life versus the #Christian view

I've heard figures as high as 900 million, but who really knows? As this article pointed out, the U.S. government is forbidden from tracking this information.

But this article also refers to "advances in military technologies that rendered personal firearms all but useless against professional armies." Do you think that's true? That's also what Joe Biden once claimed; what can citizens do against F-16s and nukes?

ALEISTER CROWLEY’S ALIEN

_______________

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) was an English occultist, writer, and ceremonial magician who played a significant role in the development of modern Western esotericism. He gained notoriety for his involvement in various mystical practices and his influence on occult and spiritual movements.

One of Crowley's lesser-known aspects of his work involves his encounters with an entity he referred to as "Lam." In the later years of his life, Crowley was known to have engaged in a series of visionary and trance-like states, during which he claimed to have communicated with a being he depicted in a drawing as a somewhat androgynous figure with a large, bald head and slit-like eyes. Lam bears a remarkable resemblance to the speculated alien grays in popular UFO lore.

This resemblance does bring up an interesting possibility. Crowley was called by the tabloids of the day the “Wickedest Man In The World,” and a “Master Of Darkness.” He was defiantly trying to communicate with beings from other dimensions, what we could call demons. It is very possible that the aliens that are encountered are in fact demons and not visitors from another planet. This would have profound and even biblical implications if true. It would mean that we are most defiantly alone in the universe, unique and miraculous creations. It would also mean that the UFO phenomenon is an encounter with a spiritual realm that we know little about.

I heard a podcast months ago where Timothy Alberino made the case that if you believe the Bible you believe in extra-terrestrials by default because "angels," which are all over Scripture, are ETs (starting at the 45 minute mark):

"A terrorist is someone who has a bomb, but doesn't have an air force."

– William Blum, Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower (2000)

"At companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Amazon, the upper management levels had always included veterans of the national security establishment. But with the new alliance between U.S. national security and social media, the former spooks and intelligence agency officials grew into a dominant bloc inside those companies; what had been a career ladder by which people stepped up from their government experience to reach private tech-sector jobs turned into an ouroboros that molded the two together."

Indeed. The CIA was carrying out assassinations abroad left and right under his administration. Then, when they did it on U.S. soil to JFK even former president Truman, who approved the creation of the CIA in 1947, realized they had created a monster.
