So, finally admits and then rushes to defend himself?
Pens, ketchup and cigarettes are designed for civilian use , yet used in frontlines around the world .
You don’t get to make your arbitrary rules. There is no law forbidding Ukraine from using what has now been restored.
Murdered those children in Ukraine .
And What we sow to the earth is reaped from the earth !

He also said:
“Make them (His disciples) ONE like we are ONE.”
Are you revealed as me?
Or is our “unity” not the “one”?
How about at the Tower of Babel?
“The people are one.”
Does that mean one giant Greek Odyssey of a Cyclops revealed in many men?
Or a man and a woman become ONE.
Maybe you and your wife walk around stuck together as one person at the hip. 🤔😜
Christ came to represent one government!
Isaiah 9:6 prophesied:
A Son was given before a child was born.
And the Government of Heaven (note to self: government is united as one, yet has 3 different branches) will rest on His shoulder. (An ambassador represents a government.)
And so, His name, representing the Government of Heaven, would be called:
Mighty God: The executive, President, King. The Father we now know.
Crown 👑 Prince of Peace: Crown princes set laws and legislation on behalf of kings. Today, this is Parliament or the legislature. The Son of God, who said the Father has delegated all judgment to Him, like Pharaoh delegated authority to Joseph, in John 5:22.
The Counsellor: The Judge in the judiciary. Jesus, in John 14:26, confirmed this as The Holy Spirit.
Three different beings who operate unitedly as ONE. The Lord our God is UNITED.
ONE means united throughout scripture.
God bless.

In this powerful monologue, Joe Scarborough proves that Trump and his cronies acting as cheerleaders for putin are no different from the Nazi sympathisers of the 1930s. It’s a chilling, crystal-clear wake-up call about what happens when leaders trade American democracy for a dictator's favour.
Joe Scarborough:
“… just peeling what putin has had a collection of useful idiots across America do now for the past five years.
I really I really don't say this often in American politics. but when you're defending vladimir putin, an ex KGB agent who is committing war crimes by the day, I'm not sure how you sleep at night.
And this phenomenon though, has historical parallels. It was 89 years ago this month in October 1937, that the former king of England walked up the steps of Adolf Hitler's mountain retreat in Bavaria. The Duke of Windsor had given up the throne less than a year earlier, but he toured German factories, inspected the SS and was photographed greeting the Führer. Time Magazine reported that Hitler gave the Duke a Nazi salute as they parted and Edward returned that Nazi salute. Later he told friends that Britain shouldn't fight Hitler, the war should not start. Winston Churchill had to actually send him to the Bahamas to keep him away from his new friend in Berlin. But the Duke wasn't alone, just like Donald Trump isn't alone. Here at home, Charles Lindbergh, an American hero who accepted the medal of freedom from Hermann Goering in 1938, went on to lead America First. And in a 1941 speech in Des Moines, he blamed Jews and the British for pushing America toward war. Even FDR's US Ambassador to Britain, Joseph Kennedy, predicted democracy is finished in England. His appeasement and his lack of moral alarm cost Kennedy his job. In Britain, aristocrats like the Astors and Lord Halifax thought Hitler was a man they could do business with.
Does that sound familiar?
Sounded so respectable, trade, stability, money, peace in our time.
History remembers them now as morally vacuous opportunists who looked at a tyrant who was devouring his neighbours, the only thing they saw, a business partner.
The parallels with Trump are too on point. Now on Friday, Donald Trump got on the phone with vladimir putin who always plays him when they get on the phone and what happened? He lifted sanctions on the Russian diesel deal, he did it three weeks after Republicans had forced him to sign a Russia sanctions bill in honour of Lindsey Graham. The White House says his gift to putin will lower prices at the pump, but it won't. The first shipment is only about 2.2 million barrels and America burns through more than that every day. It's not going to lower gas prices in America. But it will help putin kill innocence in Ukraine, a country Trump has always hated. Trump's four billion dollar gift to the man he kowtows to every day will buy missiles, drones, and glide bombs that will keep terrorising and killing Ukrainians who are fighting for their country's freedom and their children's lives and yes, our freedom.
A bipartisan group of senators including Susan Collins wrote in a statement Sunday that the United States should not provide putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. But Trump's aping of putin’s talking points, they just keep getting worse. With this weak president attacking Ukrainian freedom fighters and perversely calling for new leadership in Kyiv. We do need new leadership, Mr. President, but not in Ukraine. Donald, I've known you a long time and I know you don't read history, so let me tell you how this story ends. The Duke of Windsor ended up a footnote, a cautionary tale in a fancy suit forever assigned to the dustbin of British history. And your time to finally do the right thing in Ukraine, Mr. President, it's running out. Stop bowing down to putin. And start doing your job.

It’s a breath of fresh air to hear someone articulate the fundamental principle that governs every opinion about this war:
Are you on Russia’s side or Ukraine’s side?
If you’re on Russia’s side, you’ll always find excuses for:
Russia’s bombing of hospitals and civilians.
Breaking Trump’s alleged ceasefire within just one hour.
Refusing Ukraine a 60-month ceasefire to allow it to hold elections.
You’ll even find ways to blame Ukraine for being the victim of overt Russian aggression.

Ever been to a greenhouse?
I visited a huge Victorian-style one at Alexandra Palace Garden Centre, North London. It was warm and humid.
Should visit one. It’ll help you understand why greenhouse gases, like the glass of a greenhouse, help keep the earth warm.
The gases are necessary, but the problem is humans are pumping too much into the atmosphere, and the earth is getting warmer as a result.
Think of it like thickening the glass of a greenhouse. Sunlight gets in, but more heat is retained.
It’s a simple, observable fact. The average temperature of the earth is rising. If it continues, the consequences include more extreme heat, rising sea levels and other climate impacts.
Without the natural greenhouse effect, the earth’s average surface temperature would be around -18°C instead of approximately 15°C.
So yes, greenhouse gases are natural. But we’re increasing them too much, upsetting the balance.
That’s the science. You can debate what we should do about it, but the basic facts aren’t debatable.
We are baking the earth with the waste gases of modern life.

Brother,
There are basically 3 types of independent entities: a government, an individual, and a company/association/charity.
The Norwegian government you are talking about was established in 1814. Its debts and obligations don’t just disappear because generations pass. They remain with that government as long as that independent entity continues to exist.
It’s the same with an individual. When someone dies, their estate still has to settle debts and claims. There is a period for creditors to make their claims, and if they miss that period, the “debt dies with death”.
Same principle when states change. The Ottoman Empire didn’t simply leave all its debts behind when its existence came to an end. It held an international period for claimants before passing on assets to the modern state of Turkey. Obligations are transferred to a successor state.
So my point is simple: the British government that authorised and maintained slavery did not cease to exist in 1834 when it claimed to end slavery. The UK government today is still the continuation of that state and the debt of stolen wages - a crime against humanity is legally active eternally- the blood of the debt a curse on the earth of the government eternally till it’s paid.
The government that benefited from that system still exists. It invested into you and I as tax paying clients of the state. I am really grateful !
But slavery hasn’t ended because a workman is worthy of his due.
And inheritance is the children’s right.
You wouldn’t let me or the are take your great grandfather’s inheritance because his grandson and son are dead…same with the UK debt to the descendants of the 800,000 mainly Caribbean’s Individuals of the British empire.

The founding fathers committed no sins simply because they were white, and no white person or European can be held collectively responsible for slavery merely because of their race or ancestry.
The relevant question is legal responsibility.
The U.S. government, as a legal entity, created, recognized, enforced, and protected the legal system of chattel slavery for generations. It therefore makes little sense to transfer the legal responsibility of that government onto people based solely on geographical or ethnic classifications.
The government is the entity that enacted and enforced the laws.
Under that legal system, human beings could be treated as property from birth, subjected to forced labor, sexual violence, family separation, sale, and other forms of exploitation. These were not simply private acts occurring outside the law. The institution itself was legally recognized and protected.
Therefore, if we are discussing historical responsibility, the focus should be on the government and legal institutions that created and maintained the system, not on people today—or entire racial or ethnic groups—who had no role in creating those laws.
The economic consequences are a separate question, but if the unpaid labor of enslaved people is calculated at approximately $14 trillion under a particular methodology, then that figure represents a claim that should be debated on its economic and legal merits.
Geographical and ethnic classifications are meaningless when identifying a legal entity responsible for a particular act.
It is fundamentally wrong to blame an entire people for the actions of a government.
The leaders and institutions of the United States influenced society and established a legal framework that permitted human beings to be treated as property. That government and those institutions are where legal responsibility must be examined.
TheWisdomRoom.net retweeted
We must accept that American chattel slavery was uniquely different in ALL human history.
To exploit generations of people from birth to death, across five or six generations. To enslave entire families, including children born into slavery, and then enslave their children and grandchildren on an industrial scale, raped, murdered, exploited at an owner’s will,
while the government used the law of the land to define human beings as property.
This was an extraordinary system of generational exploitation.
And the fact that the United States government, which legally sanctioned and protected slavery for generations, still exists today without having provided direct compensation for the labor extracted from the slaves means
slavery in America can never truly be considered ended when the economic debt created by that system has never been addressed?
The value of the unpaid labor of the approximately four million people emancipated at the end of slavery has been estimated as 24 trillion dollars, for a basic daw wage over 6 days .
Slavery wasn’t illegal as it is in many countries, the US government, a legal entity under the law , indemnified slavery.
Even the most basic principles of justice point toward two eternal laws:
1. Inheritance belongs to the children. Descendants have a right to what was taken (unpaid wages) from their ancestors, by the US government.
2. “ A workman is worthy of his due.”
You can overlook rape, murder, and exploitation of new born babies, fbut not the tangible wage debt.
The United States enacted laws that protected and indemnified the institution of slavery. Therefore, the moral and historical debt created by those laws does not simply disappear because slavery was legally abolished.
The blood and suffering of those enslaved still form part of America’s history. Until the debt created by that system is honestly confronted and paid in full, the question of slavery remains unresolved.
The legal institution of slavery ended, But the direct debt created by slavery remains unaddressed.
This is America’s greatest moral crime to its own people.

The apostles had autonomy in proclaiming the message of Christ. Their authority did not come from a centralized state religion or from political power.
Let’s be wary of state-centralized appointed officials, religious leaders appointed by the state. When political interests become intertwined with religious authority, obedience to the state takes priority over obedience to God’s commandment to love without discrimination.
Jesus gave a clear outward test of discipleship/Christianity.
“By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you love one to another.”
Society is becoming more ANTICHRIST to Jesus’s law to love.
Strengthening love, therefore, means strengthening obedience to Christ’s law. Mere claims of faith are not the measure Jesus gave.
Jesus warned:
“This people worship me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”
Jesus’s NEW single commandment should motivate all Christians to do what is right, for love never fails God:
“A new commandment I give to you, Love one another.”

Mixing Jesus’s call to love your neighbour with a state that teaches its people to hate and discriminate against their Ukrainian neighbours, without seeing the irony, is just bizarre. 😓
Please don’t sell out the harmony of Jesus’s instructions to treat everyone as you want to be treated just to turn a blind eye to Russia’s crimes against Ukraine.
I have no problem with Russians. My issue is with a state that teaches its people to hate others and murder them for their land.
You cannot claim to follow Christ’s command to love your neighbour while excusing the deliberate destruction of your neighbour.
TheWisdomRoom.net retweeted
Many Christians are also Democrats who believe in Jesus’ all-encompassing law:
“Love YOUR (your own) neighbour as yourself.”
Sadly, hate and discrimination towards YOUR OWN neighbour have become normalised on the right of American politics. Yet, hypocritically, enormous attention is given to intervening in someone else’s neighbour.
American politics has become so polarised and so contrary to Christ’s law of love that the centre-left has now become the new independent political centre of the country.
Jesus said:
“By this shall all know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Sadly, at this particular period of Trumpism in America, that sounds increasingly more left than right.

We all condemned attacks on Jews, and we continue to do so.
But condemning attacks on Jews does not require us to justify attacks on Palestinian civilians.
Mothers are mothers. Children are children. Innocent blood is innocent blood.
Human rights do not come with an ethnicity, a religion, or a flag.
If your principles disappear when the victims are Palestinian, they were never principles to begin with.

Because Muslim is a belief system, not a country. 🤦♂️
No one refers to Christians as oppressors simply because Christian Americans controlled a government that maintained discriminatory, racist slavery against children for almost 200 years.
So let’s stick to the actual issue: justice, regardless of the belief system of the government responsible.
The question is not whether a government identifies as Christian, Muslim, or anything else. The question is whether it is committing injustice, and whether we are willing to condemn that injustice consistently.

Neither “the Turks,” the Ottoman Empire, nor the Slavs are existing independent legal entities.
Debt owed by an independent legal entity does not automatically survive its dissolution(i.e its death) . It survives where a legal settlement or succession agreement provides for it.
The Treaty of Lausanne (1923) established the international legal framework for the modern Republic of Turkey. Turkey, as the principal successor state, assumed an allocated share of the Ottoman Empire’s debt. Other successor states, including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and several Balkan states, were also assigned portions.
Turkey did not inherit every Ottoman asset, territory, or legal obligation. The Ottoman Empire was dissolved, and its debts and certain rights were distributed through international agreements.
So, if your ancestors or an independent Slavic nation like Poland or Slovenia believed they had a legally valid financial claim against the Ottoman Empire, they would have had to pursue that claim at the settlements of 1923.
Again, by the same general principle, if the United States were dissolved as an independent legal entity, and its debt and assets were about to be distributed among successor states, any outstanding obligations owed to the descendants of enslaved people it had indemnified would have to be addressed through that legal settlement.
That is the principle I am applying. It is technical and legal, but the general point is straightforward: the legal obligations of a dissolved state do not automatically survive unchanged. They depend on the terms of succession and settlement.

Stop this cherry-picking of revisionist history.
Your ancestors, (like most people’s ancestors) were most likely practicing child sacrifice, murder, rape, and enslavement. But that is not the point.
Europe, Africa, and America are not independent legal entities. The United States is. It was established roughly 250 years ago, and it legally sanctioned/ indemnified the forced rape, enslavement, and theft of labour of some of its children born within its borders, from birth to death.
That creates a very different question: What does an EXISTING legal entity owe the people it enslaved for lost wages. Direct money, not apologies, not affirmative action, but wages unpaid to to enslaved kids.
The USA is still in debt for the lack of direct redress. At the very least, it owes the descendants of those children compensation for the labour stolen from their families, estimated at nearly $14 trillion.
And before you lecture anyone about slavery, understand the distinction:
Slavery was never the law in England, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, or Ivory Coast in the same way it was in the United States. Your country made it law.
Yet it failed to recognise two basic principles:
1. A workman is worthy of his due.
2. Inheritance (the debt owed ) is the children’s right.
So until your government addresses what it owes its own citizens, pointing fingers at other people while ignoring the slavery your own legal system authorised is deeply hypocritical.

I (virtually) was lowered into Hell a few years ago, in meditation, and the “books of the Bible’s” testimonies made sense.
1st.
Hell is a mental place, (not physical, not spiritual). The only way to describe it is as a bad dream that you can’t voluntarily/physically wake up from.
Or VR (virtual reality).
As an observer, I was quite aware of the reality of what was happening, even though my presence was not acknowledged by people or the tormentors in Hell.
This is why the scripture (Revelation 20) says Hell (and its contents) will be destroyed in “the lake of fire”, followed by (Rev 21), and there would be no more “memory of pain or sorrow…”
The tormentors looked like dragons on many Chinese and English buildings. They looked like underwater dragons. A lot of references to this in the Book of Revelation to beasts from the seas . But I haven’t studied enough to understand why. I do know the location of Hell and depth of the seas are close. They looked like dragon mermaids (part dragon part aquatic )
But they were very excited, with exaggerated wide mouths of smiles, and they enjoyed tormenting the inhabitants of Hell.
It was a long procession. It certainly wasn’t a final destination. It was a queue of people passing through. I remembered the heads down, the feeling of intense guilt as they walked in a queue, like prisoners in chains being led forward. They were on their way somewhere while I observed from a still position. There was an angel chaperoning me. Our presence didn’t seem to be noticed or disturb the tormentors, who seemed to be having a very good time.
Jesus often spoke about these tormentors in Hell. They are a pretty big deal, like jailers in a prison, but enjoyed human suffering. Hell was like a cell before prison. This is why the lake of fire now makes sense. It’s the suffering before the destruction. The lake of fire destroys Hell and its contents forever, but Hell is the place one pays the price. There would be no memory of them. They minds destroyed in The lake of of fire. The soul is the mind but knowledge is stored in our brains. We don’t take that with us to hell. We just take the guilt . There is a separate record in the invisible world of all our works, Love seems to transcend both worlds. This is why Jesus said the unscrupulous servant made friends in heaven by his acts of charity. Jesus said an unsaved person (children of this world) being wiser than children of light by using his money for charity to buy friends in heaven. Love is the only law recognized . Jesus even said Christians that discriminate (hate without cause ) go to hell.
Not everyone suffered the same. There was this universal smoldering floor. It looked like coals in a volcano. Very hard to explain. The floor wasn’t all liquid, but not solid either, just hot coals or rocks, sitting on lava. And smoke from the ground, and the feet of the prisoners were black and smoldering as they walked on.
But some were specially picked on for torture by the jailers, while others just walked the heat. I have always imagined people like Hitler or rapists get special treatment in Hell. Like when prisoners get tortured in jail for raping kids, or sent to hard labour. This is why I understand Jesus made it clear people suffer for evil.
I wrote about this on our Facebook page, but without consulting, here is what I recollect from the vivid experience. It wasn’t a dream but a “vision of the day”, a dream during prayer. My soul or spirit (dont know) was taken there with special observer status… I’ll check my notes and update anything I left out.

I’m Irish by love.
Many of my best friends growing up in London, were Irish. I visited Ireland, worked on behalf of Irish companies, and have always had a genuine love and respect for Irish culture.
For most of my life, I thought the Irish were among the most welcoming people in Europe. That was my experience almost 30 years ago.
But let’s not pretend that everything is fine now. In the post-Trump era, there is a very visible raw hostility towards people who are different, and that kind of hatred is poisoning parts of the culture.
Ireland can be proudly Irish, protect its culture and traditions, and still be welcoming to people who don’t look or sound Irish.
After all, Irish people themselves have been emigrating, building lives and communities, and contributing to countries all over the world for generations.
There is nothing contradictory about being proud of your culture while welcoming others into it. In fact, that is what confident cultures do.

Jesus himself makes the distinction:
“Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you…”
So perhaps the more objective question is not simply, “What did Moses permit?” but, “What did God actually establish?”
8 Scripture itself gives us the evidential principle:
“In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.”
That principle appears repeatedly, and the New Testament writers apply the idea of multiple witnesses to establish truth.
So if a teaching appears only as a Mosaic provision, while Jesus later identifies that provision as something permitted because of human hardness of heart, why automatically assume that Moses’ provision represents God’s original and ultimate standard?
Moses can be a witness. He is not God.
The question is whether the teaching is independently confirmed by the wider testimony of Scripture, particularly by Jesus and the other witnesses.
In other words: don’t confuse what Moses permitted with what God originally intended. Jesus himself tells us to make that distinction.

The absence of coercion alone doesn’t make FREEDOM meaningful.
You can be legally FREE to start a business, get an education or pursue a better life.
But if you’re sick, hungry, uneducated and lack the means to participate, that FREEDOM exists largely on paper.
Government should NOT guarantee equal outcomes. It should help PROVIDE the BASIC CONDITIONS needed to exercise freedom.
A free market cannot be truly free when large parts of the population LACK the MEANS to participate.
Providing education and healthcare isn’t an enemy of freedom.
They are infrastructure for freedom.
Foundations of national security.
Otherwise:
“You’re free to participate, provided you can afford the entry fee.”
That’s not FREEDOM.
That’s PERMISSION without the means to exercise it.

You cleverly avoided my question by equivocating with things I already agree with, such as self-defence and the right to live alongside peaceful neighbours.
So, here it is again:
Do we need to treat the non-militarised rest of the population any differently simply because they are called Arabs rather than Palestinians?
I’m asking about the children, and the many people who were not dancing in the streets on October 7th, who are not members of, or influenced by, the military wing of a political party.
Do you really want to put everyone in the same box?
Should you be blamed for the children murdered by some settlers or by bad actors in the army simply because they are Israeli?
Being Jewish /an Israelite doesn’t mean supporting ever strong the current Israeli government…
This is the problem with intelligent people who become so partisan that their “team” can never be wrong, even when it clearly is.
I stand “eternally” with Israel: its faith, heritage, people and the idea of Israel.
What I will not stand with is partisan propaganda, extreme hatred, or an ideologically driven government being treated as though it can do no wrong, even when many Israelis themselves are taking to the streets in opposition of the government.
That kind of partisanship ultimately betrays Israel.
Because if you keep defending everything your side does, eventually fewer people will have the courage to stand up for Israel when it genuinely needs defending.
I don’t have to defend my father for breaking the law simply because I love him.
Love does not require moral blindness.
