    My post went right over your head. Well, I thought it likely.

    I have an exceedingly strange theory on what could turn out to be a significant piece of the full puzzle..........
    The theory that Satanists..... have infiltrated churches.... and political parties.... and almost every influential and wealthy organization would explain a lot of weird things that seem to go on in our nations.

    The gifted Rick Joyner was shown that HOPE.... will
    seriously mess up Satanists...... and specifically the fallen angels and Hungry Ghosts controlling them...........
    and the whole formula will rapidly shift once HOPE has been given
    to the "spiritual wickedness in high places" who assist in the deception of all nations.

    Twenty seven years of researching NDE accounts and I simply had to initiate something back on November 1, 2017.... even if it one of the last significant things that I try to do in this lifetime.......


    I want to start an online outreach to Satanists....

    Be careful that the hand with one finger of accusation.... does not have three pointing back at yourself.............

    Is a Unified Theory of Modern World Problems even possible?


    Was Moses - Moshe a brilliant economist?

    Is the following statement one of the most accurate ideas regarding what we human beings are actually capable of IF..............we can actually agree on the need for a particular project?


    "And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

    And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." (Genesis 11)


    For the record...... my explanation for what I feel I have been given since 1990.... is that like all of us.... I am a little bit psychic...... and I have been guided to this..... .I believe by Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus in the state that he has been in since his resurrection........... I could never have thought this all up myself........

    You made me curious......

    http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/17/technology/trump-social-media-followers/index.html

    How many social followers does Trump actually have?
    On the other hand... I don't think I use twitter at all.... but through Facebook I actually end up reading quite a few of President Trump's tweets..... so I suspect his number of 100 million.... is probably more accurate than what CNN will admit.

    Ha ha. I gave obama 4 years before I rendered judgment, and while I did not vote for trump, it is only fair that I give him 4 years as well, before I draw a conclusion. I did vote for obama, the first time, but saw it was just more of the same, and the oligarchy, corporate state or whatever you call this aberration in gov't got stronger, not weaker. The Swamp grew, and became IMO, even more beholden to rich special interests. And even more politically corrupt, thanks to obama. After all, obama got more support from MNCs and the big banks than the GOP did in 2012. That speaks volumes as to who owned him and the DP. They already owned the GOP and DP, but we saw that they also owned obama. In DC, money talks, BS walks. BS being the 300 plus million americans who are not at the top.

    On the plus side.......
    if AboveAlpha's Multiverse Theory is a relatively accurate portrayal of what we humans are really in the middle of..... then.... perhaps President Obama deserves credit for delaying and delaying and delaying........
    a variation of the Mark of the Beast that may have been set up by the year 2008 in another
    time line / example of applied Multiverse Theory / alternate universe?


    President Obama delayed and delayed, Iridium System Mark of the Beast

    I dunno man, for I am not that fond of the multiverse idea. I prefer the idea that we live in a virtual reality, created by something, a metaphorical intelligent computer from outside the universe. That would replace the materialistic dogmatic view that the universe has no purpose, and it exists only by an almost infinite number of chances and luck. If a VR, then there is purpose, a method to the madness, and life has much more meaning as well as the universe itself. So I prefer this idea over the multiverse idea. And I have no idea what the truth of this actually is. I am just more fond of some ideas over others. ha ha

    This is one of the approaches that could put some form of Intelligent Design......
    back into universities... and later into schools.......
    and it really could make life better for our young people.

    I take the Virtual Reality Theory very, very seriously!

    This article is intriguing......

    Trump Promised to Eliminate National Debt in Eight Years. Good Luck With That
    His administration plans to balance the budget with what he says will be huge gains in economic growth.

    Going bankrupt is an experience.
    If you haven't had that experience, you haven't learnt the lessons from it.

    Experience counts.
    Trump is an expert.

    However, something like 1% of Trumps businesses went bankrupt.
    He has many.

    To put that into perspective for you, about 80% of mine have.

    All I can say is, back in 1992 I came so close giving up and filing for bankruptcy protection...but Mother Nature stepped in and saved my ass. The Northridge earthquake.

    I answered 'yes' even though it is not true that Trump declared personal bankruptcy. That is bullshit. But it was a 'business' bankruptcy, so, what the hell....

    The main point I'd make here is that we all learn from both our successes AND our failures! Trump acted on his ideas and plans. Trump risked failure in the hope of attaining success. He took a CHANCE.

    Compare that attitude with, say, some jive-ass 'community organizer' who never held a job in the private economic sector in his whole damned life -- but who had the gall to tell business owners, "You didn't build that!"

    You know what's worse? We, the American people, not only elected that jive-ass 'community organizer' once -- we REPEATED that same intellectual and ethical 'bankruptcy' a SECOND time. Sometimes 'bankruptcy' can be very instructive....

    Correct, one of those facts that not many know. Trump has not been personally bankrupt. He's wisely used the bankruptcy laws to get rid of companies with debt. He's played the system, like many do.

    It doesn't come as any particular surprise that the bankruptcy claims were full of ****.
    Basically if you just ignore anything bad they say about Trump you will be correct.

    Free pass Donald. Go murder some babies.

    It's probably worth mentioning again that Donald Trump has never (NEVER) declared personal bankruptcy.
    OK, one more time, as an assistance-aid for those with mental disabilities: Donald Trump has never (NEVER) declared personal bankruptcy. :deadhorse:

    Given the state the US economy was in when Obama handed it over would certainly help.

    I don't think it was in a better shape when it was handed over to Obama.
    Probably far far worse.

    He wasn't an economic disaster.
    Lol. Unlike Clinton.

    Trump is something else though.
    That stuff really is where he comes into his own.

    It's no skin off anyone's nose not to be as good at economics as Trump.
    None at all.

    I agree that President Obama deserves credit for handling the economic crisis of
    2008 and 2009 in a manner that probably turned out far better than what might have happened if
    the G.O.P. had been in charge of things.

    The majority of G.O.P. politicians will not publicly discuss the method used by President Abraham Lincoln that saved U.S.A. taxpayers about FOUR BILLION DOLLARS in interest payments!

    President Lincoln saved taxpayers four billion dollars...how can we do this in 2013?

    My apologies for wording the title of this discussion in a flawed manner.

    Here is an explanation of my very, extremely high expectations for the obviously brilliant Ms. Faith Goldy
    and for the movement that she is beginning in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

    I was only trying to refute the contention that Donald Trump, himself, has ever declared personal bankruptcy.

    The U. S. dollar was turned into being nothing but a big, cheap whore during the 'Great Recession', and now the Federal Reserve (which deliberately crushed interest rates and churned out huge quantities of excess dollars at the same time) is trying -- inadequately -- to 'suck up the pudge' by increasing interest rates a microscopic quarter-point ever four or five months. It isn't enough, but as it is the 'emerging market' countries are going to probably go belly-up trying to pay back all the money they owe. Cheap money chased 'toxic paper' in order to save a pack of criminals that were "too big to fail" -- and this was the result....

    It's a horrible, f*cked-up mess -- exactly what happens when a central bank (i.e., the "Fed", the "ECB" -- European Central Bank) tells the government what to do instead of the other way around! BTW, neither Russia nor China have that problem. In those two countries, the government tells the central bank "how it's going to be". But, in the U. S., way back in 1913, liberal Democrat president, Woody Wilson, saddled us with the Federal Reserve system, and it dictates all the important decisions regarding our economy.

    There is wide eyed, and there is flat out ignorant. Trump knows NOTHING, so pulling the wool over his virgin eyes, is a small matter. EVEN for Putin.
