Why would citing the system that the government set up to ostensibly track adverse events from vaccination be equated to conspiracy? Again I have to ask, what is the point of VAERS if anyone who cites it is instantly tarred as a conspiracy theorist?

Well, it would be nice to show some empathy for all the lives who were destroyed by the poisons being delivered by these smugglers who have been rightfully designated as terrorists.

'No more Mr. Nice guy!' Trump erupts as Dem lawmaker he pardoned sticks with party​

President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) on Sunday after learning that the lawmaker – whom he had pardoned this week following bribery and conspiracy charges – still plans to run for re-election as a Democrat, decrying it as “such a lack of loyalty.”

Click to expand...

I have no doubt Trump is using, I mean abusing, the presidential power in a transnational means. More than one person has claimed in Trump's first term through Rudy Giuliani a pardon could be bought for 2M. One one hand that could be just a Rudy thing, but on the other hand Trump is know for demanding compensated in one form or another for his actions. Several pardons are of people who campaign donated or enacted business transactions with his sons.

So, what's happening to people in Acts 2 and Acts 4?

What does Paul mean when he says this:

Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality, as it is written: “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.” -- 2 Corinthians 8

It is useful for tracking trends, as an early alert system for possible problems. For instance, if a significant number of unexpected adverse events followed a particular medicine or procedure, then that should be investigated. What did you think it is for?

Click to expand...

That makes sense, as an alert subject to verification.

But people making judgements on unverified reports in this environment is witch hunt quality thinking.

Consider that so many think they should be paid for even the simplest gesture. Tip jars abound. They have forgotten the meaning of loving all as self and think their time is more valuable than a good deed for the sake of it itself. When did a helping hand (altruism) get commercialized and worse yet, politicized?

I only see tip jars where people are doing actual work for pay...and the pay is low. I don't see tip jars at places where people are volunteering their labor.

I watched the video you posted, and here were things I thought of in response to "what's stopping you from helping others?":

• Do we have the knowledge to help others? For example, homeless veterans that have mental health problems. I sure wouldn't know what to do.
• Do we have the resources to help others? We can help an individual when we see one on the street, for example, someone asking for money. Do many people now carry cash with them? Do people even have the money to help others?
• How is current help set up? They're usually organizations and programs. Not individuals we seek. For example, if we're in need of food and don't have any, we can go to a food pantry.
• Do we trust the person that needs help? I hear from others that there are scammers out there asking for money, pretending to be homeless and jobless people. I also question it when I see someone in the same situation.

My wife, who has the irrepressible Charisma of "helps" has discovered this after many well-intended misadventures.

Christianity was designed to operate as a body with individual parts using individual skills and gifts working in synergy, not as a bunch of disparate do-gooders. It really doesn't work except as a body.

Maria Billingsley said:

It is ingrained from the beginning, starting with the founding fathers of this land. The modern concept ,identified as social justice today, which includes land rights, abolition, and gender equality, did not align with the hierarchical, patriarchal, and colonizing framework established by the Pilgrims in the 17th century.Their system was built on a foundation of patriarchy, land acquisition (colonization), and the use of unfree labor, which required the silencing of women and the subjugation of Indigenous and enslaved peoples. Consequently, their pursuit of religious freedom for their specific group did not translate into a vision of universal equality, making the Pilgrims' society a prime historical example of how the drive for self-governance can coexist with, and even necessitate, deep social inequality.
Thanks for sharing your video.

The US social system isn't based on that of the Pilgrims, it's based on that of the corporate entities that established all but one of the colonies. All but Rhode Island were centered on earning profit for English owners. Rhode Island was a co-op (and also practice religious freedom and abolition of slavery).

“The practice of non-violence requires the belief in God’s vengeance.”

Wow!

Those who do not believe in God thus cannot be non-violent. Maybe a rare individual, but generally we can expect violence from them if they feel it opportune.

Following 9/11, Congress granted the executive branch the authority to define who qualifies as an enemy combatant—primarily in relation to terrorism, based on specific guidelines. The President holds the power to label certain groups as enemy combatants, which, in my view, reflects an expansion of presidential authority. Moreover, since the attacks, Congress has also permitted the President to initiate military action without needing congressional approval.

Since that time, many members of Congress have attempted to reassert this power, but presidents from both parties have been reluctant to give it up. Currently, the enemy combatant designation applies only to terrorism cases; it does not extend to narcotics or other crimes. If a president wanted to include narcotics as enemy combatants, Congressional consent would be necessary to grant such authority. However, much time has passed since 2001. Today, it seems the current President or his supporters are less concerned about whether Congress approves these measures, and I doubt the current Supreme Court’s would object such action.

Terrorism: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

What political objective do drug traffickers have? I submit none.

This is not a simple situation which is all black and white. There are many shades of gray involved with this.
