FOIA on files on the DOJ's handling of the files. (like sitting on Pam's desk, maybe) Judge moves to expedite the process for some of the request.

Because Democracy Forward has demonstrated that the Department’s handling of the Epstein files is a “matter of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exist possible questions about the government’s integrity that affect public confidence,” 28 C.F.R. § 16.5(e)(1)(iv), its FOIA requests are largely entitled to expedited review.

Possible Questions About the Government’s Integrity
Democracy Forward has also established that this widespread media coverage raises
“possible questions about the government’s integrity that affect public confidence.” 28 C.F.R. § 16.5(e)(1)(iv). As the plain text of the regulation makes clear, a requestor need not point to actual evidence of government misconduct; they need only show possible questions regarding government integrity.

Democracy Forward has cleared this bar. As its submission to the Justice Department showed, prominent outlets have reported that the Department’s change in position has generated widespread controversy that has undermined public trust.

For the reasons explained above, the court will GRANT IN PART and DENY IN PART Democracy Forward’s Motion for Summary Judgment. The court will order Defendants to expedite processing of Democracy Forward’s July 25 and July 28 FOIA requests, except with respect to the overbroad search terms “whistleblower” and “flight logs.”

SabbathBlessings said:

Rev 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

Direct quote from the 4th comamndment

Exo20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Our salvation is from sin Mat1:21 no one is saved in sin Heb10:26-30 and if we allow God to define sin, it is breaking God's Laws 1John3:4 James2:11, why they sit under His mercy seat where justice and mercy will come together soon.

Mark 1:15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

The good news or gospel is Jesus died for our sins and we too can be free of the bondage of sin though Christ if we repent, which means turn from and abide in Him. If we are in Christ we would be doing what Christs asks and not rebel Rom 8:7-8 why He calls on if we hear Him Heb3:7-13 so yes God's Law- His version is very much part of the gospel message.

The saints get to meet Him in the air when He returns. He calls on everyone, sadly many use their will over His.

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. What is the faith of Jesus what He taught and how He lived. Jesus kept the Sabbath Luke4:16 and never once changed it, He promised He would not change His commandments, not a jot or tittle Mat5:18-19

Christ knows who is in Him and is not, we can't hide anything from Him Ecc12:13-14 He will sort out the wheat from the tares, but He said plainly not everyone who says Lord Lord will enter into heaven, those who do what He says, obey Him, the way He said and not what feels right to us or is popular with the world. Mat7:21-24 Luke 6:46-49 Mat7:13-14 Mat15:3-14 Mark7:7-13

Jesus never fulfilled the Sabbath commandment so we can profane it, just like He never fulfilled the commandment for murder so we can go commit murder.

The rest in this verse is not the Sabbath rest, His rest is from sin

Psa 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

If we go to Him and ask for His help in overcoming our sins, He will help us, this is the rest He speaks of not that we can profane His Sabbath commandment. The rest He gives is not the Sabbath- the Sabbath is about resting from our works and labors on the seventh day so we can keep the Sabbath day Holy Exo20:8-11 to honor Him on His holy day Isa58:13 so we can spend sanctified time with God on the day God set aside and blessed and sanctified.

There is no rest in disobedience Rev 14:11 and that includes the 4th commandment.

Isa 48:13 Oh, that you had heeded My commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river,
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Jesus said come to Me and I will give you rest and still kept the Sabbath day holy as a holy convocation Luke4:16 so obviously His rest didn't delete the 4th commandment. We would actually need a verse for that and there is none. Also God has always had more than one rest throughout the entire Bible, never once does it say it deletes the 4th comamndment. In fact the opposite is said, those who enter His rest also (which means they do something in addition) they also cease from their works Heb4:10 as God did on the seventh day Heb4:4 Exo20:11 because God's people are made in the image of God to do what He does and follow Him that comes with His power of blessings and sanctification. Never did Jesus tell anyone not to keep the Sabbath commandment.

Actually that's what one is doing when they don't keep the Sabbath according to God Eze20:16 Eze20:24 I am advocating we do what God asks over and over again in the Scriptures. Not only did He speak this He personally wrote it our plainly so we will have no excuses once He returns. Its a test of our loyalty Eze20:20

The antichrist doesn't care what you do as long as you are not obeying God the way God asks because anything less is rebellion.


Heb5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

If God blessed and sanctified Tuesday and told us to keep it holy, would are we to replace it with a different day. He was very specific, the seventh day, He came down from heaven and even wrote it out.

Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, never did He say He is Lord of the first day. The Sabbath is the Holy Day of the Lord, thus saith the Lord Isa58:13. God made a sign between Him and His people if we hallow the Sabbath day Eze20:20 its a sign of His sanctification Eze20:12 and He blesses us when we keep it Isa56:2. Sad so many people deny this over someone man made instead.

Sen. Mark Kelly:
"When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.
In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets.

At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.

Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."

Of what use is "immaterialism" in making vases, pyramidal resonators, or cutting (or pouring) stone blocks?

Click to expand...

First the thread is not about the science of making stuff. Or a scientific thread on the technical aspects of making stuff. This was merely one example of trying to work out what level of knowledge ancients had.

But knowledge can come from other aspects like belief and conscious experiences.

As mentions like the experience of colors. If conscious experiences or beliefs are a real phenomena that gives the ancients insights into nature and reality that the material sciences cannot give. Then the immaterial experiences of reality is the knowledge that got them there when the material worldview could not.

If belief in God or spirituality can actually alter the material world then that is knowledge beyond the material sciences. If consciousness is beyond brain then that is the knowledge that material sciences cannot tell us and what allowed the ancients to manipulate nature and reality.

If that was a deeper understanding of natural geometry, the material nature of substances that allowed them to manipulate it. Or just the direct experiences of nature and reality that revealed to them experientially something about nature and reality that affected them or their world. Which gave them the knowledge.

camille70 said:

James isn’t out of the woods yet. They can indict her again. She might have a separate case requesting dismissal over malicious prosecution pending though. If so, I don't know what happens with that since this is currently dismissed.

Click to expand...

Comey can be indicted again despite this dismissal if it's done by someone properly appointed. This article discusses the issue:

We're now past the statute of limitations for Comey, it is true, but if an indictment is filed within the statute of limitations but dismissed after the statute runs out, the government normally gets another 6 months to bring the case; see US Code Title 18 Part II Chapter 213 Section 3288. Here's the full thing:

Whenever an indictment or information charging a felony is dismissed for any reason after the period prescribed by the applicable statute of limitations has expired, a new indictment may be returned in the appropriate jurisdiction within six calendar months of the date of the dismissal of the indictment or information, or, in the event of an appeal, within 60 days of the date the dismissal of the indictment or information becomes final, or, if no regular grand jury is in session in the appropriate jurisdiction when the indictment or information is dismissed, within six calendar months of the date when the next regular grand jury is convened, which new indictment shall not be barred by any statute of limitations. This section does not permit the filing of a new indictment or information where the reason for the dismissal was the failure to file the indictment or information within the period prescribed by the applicable statute of limitations, or some other reason that would bar a new prosecution.

The key points are the bolded. It was dismissed, and thus they get another 6 months to bring a new one. Unless the dismissal was failure to file the indictment within the period prescribed or something else that would bar a new prosecution. That is not the case for this dismissal; all they have to do is have a properly appointed prosecutor bring the case and they can do it again.

That said, there were other motions to to dismiss Comey filed that aren't in front of the same judge that did this dismissal, and some of those might end up triggering the second bolded section by virtue of "failure to file the indictment" due to grand jury shenanigans, or the conclusion it's a vindictive and selective prosecution (which wouldn't be any less vindictive or selective six months from now). Despite Halligan doing a bad job with the grand jury, no doubt due to her inexperience, from my understanding it doesn't seem like the issues are enough to conclude that it was actually a failure to file, but they might. In regards to the vindictive and selective prosecution, the fact it's vindictive is easy (if this can't be ruled vindictive, what prosecution can?) but as I understand it, you need more than just that--you need to also prove it's selective, meaning other people aren't getting prosecuted for similar alleged crimes, which is where things get more murky. If the case is also dismissed on those grounds, then it seems like it would prevent another indictment for coming to Comey on this... but this current dismissal doesn't preclude another indictment.

Deflect, as in refuse to look at or deny evidence that the whole cadre of pseudoarcheologists you've been citing are deeply tied to Hancock and his predecessors, personally, or "intellectually". You do it every time it comes up (and you are right now). I see no point in laying out detailed evidence if you are just going to dismiss it.

Click to expand...

Actually this is an assumption that I dismiss the idea that what I am saying could be construed as what you are trying to point out to me. I have said I know the difference and that you underestimate those who may speak of the idea of lost advanced or alternative knowledge.

The topic itself is not a conspiracy theory and those who investigate and propose such an idea are not grifters. That there are some who do does not make everyone the case. This is my objection to your tarring everyone with the same brush.

Even Hancock gets stuff right. I showed you how Dunn was correct in his idea that the pyramid may be some sort of energy generator. This idea is now being proposed by mainstream science.

So a person is able to take what is good and leave the rest even if the person may promote some conspiracy. The very topic is primed for that type of elaboration. But that does not make it all pseudoarcheology.

Hans Blaster said:

They is what they is, and you are deflecting right now.

Click to expand...

No I am not. I have acknowledged the difference. But you have not. It is you who are deflecting in that you cannot admit that these people are sometimes right and on to som ething in some cases. You reject it all based on assuming ots all bunk.

Whereas you have not actually shown any evidence for this assumption. I can show that some of the stuff they mention is supported by the science.

You seem to be tarring the whole topic or any mention of ancient advanced knowledge as all (hancock grifting) when its clearly not. Its a genuine hypothesis and line of investigation.

Hans Blaster said:

I don't care.

Click to expand...

Well thats the problem then. You don't care to properly investigate human behaviour as far as culture and belief and creating legends and myths are related to real events.

This is dismissing a good chunk of the evidence and imposing a specific epistemics that we must exclude such considerations from how we can understand the ancients and human behaviour.

Hans Blaster said:

That doesn't make it a good basis for an understanding of history.

Click to expand...

It depends what history your talking about. We are talking about legends like Atlantis and the Flood. Understanding the cultural aspects of human behaviour such as belief helps understand how legends and myths are based on real events.

It links the two. Thus it lends weight to informing the science ie if the flood myth is based on a real even then there will be geological evidence. Or eveidence of mass destruction in places that match the stories. Thus giving a real basis for the event that became the legend or myth.

That is more or less what some people are doing. Believing the legends and myths have some substances. Not the magical and unreal stuff. But real events that happened that sparked the legend.

So I mentioned the bible events and how archeology is actually finding the real places and events that may have been made into myth or moral tales as a comparison.

Hans Blaster said:

I have a separate post calling this out, but stop talking about conspiracies. (or claiming I am talking about them.)

Lol I thought that was already happening in this one. Except its been spread to everyone mentioned. They are all in the Hancock mould. Even the presenter in the OP.

Remembering that this thread was actually about the idea that there was a flaw in the orthodox/mainstream narrative about our history. That it was actually the orthodoxy that was hiding stuff and pushing a particular narrative that conformed to the establishment.

So in reality this thread actually involves issues like Hancock and determining what is conspiracy and what is not. That this thread has decended into arguements about the credibility of the sources is evidence for this.

Hans Blaster said:

Click to expand...

This is interesting that you say this. Considering that the very beliefs and alternative knowledge is beyond just being an ape. This a physical explanation.

That human belief and culture is just a biological byproduct. Its begging the question that the whole idea of human spirituality and culture is an aspect of humans independent of any such physical explanations and a force in itself that can bring knowledge.

Hans Blaster said:

The thread has been about the physical evidence for earlier settlements (at first) and the technologies used on certain Egyptian objectss. These are not "worldview" topics, for the ancients or for us. (This also isn't a "worldview" section of CF.) You have not discussed Egyptian culture, you have instead denigrated their stone working skills.

Click to expand...

But the thread is about the flaw in the narrative of our history which is more about the epistemics and metaphysics. Which is related to scince and including behavioural sciences. But can include science in the form to determining the level of knowledge and tech in what they made. Which seems an obvious way to work out how knowledgable they were.

But its not restricted to just that and in fact as I mentioned earlier we could argue about the specific micron of difference or marks on one item and make it a threead in itself like the vases. But it still does not help. We would need to do a global assessment of all the works and not just Egypt.

Because its not the specific examples but the overall examples and patterns we see which then relate to the legends and align. Its not just the knowledge of making stuff. Its the overall worldview they had. Its understanding that compared to today and other times. Its a massive topic and restricting it to just measuring objects is narrowing down things and missing the point.

Hans Blaster said:

Your principle sources aren't doing anything but speculation.

This is false. The articles on stone softening, casting and weakening and others on the piezoelectric and electromagnetic effects are not spectualtion and warrent further investigation. There are several lines of investigation into the ancients knowledge and tech from mainstream science that is justified and not spectualtion.

There are many archeologists who are proposing and invesigating such possibilities. Are the clear and obvious images I showed you that everyone seems to want to deny spectualtion.

I don't either. It was merely to point out how even today people testify to alternative and advanced knowledge and its not conspiracy. In this sense its related to the thread in that if the orthodoxy narrative is flawed. Then maybe part of the flaw is pretending there is no alternative and advanced knowledge that is beyond what is suppose to be the case.

Hans Blaster said:

And of course "lost advanced tech" is somehow (thanks to you and your sources) the subject of this thread. (Karoly even has it as part of his YT channel name, or is it his podcast.) But "UFOs and DNA" are not.

"Lost advanced tech and knowledge" is the subject of this thread. A flaw in the orthodox narrative is what is being said that denies the lost advanced knowledge. Thats the point. The links I have posted are in support of this.

But you have turned everyone presented into Hancock of the worst types. Even a extreme caricature made of Hancock himself and then presented as the big bad boogy man who is lurking in everyone presented on this thread. As grifters and woo merchants. By doing so you have turned the thread into conspiracies.

Once again guilty by association. You assume that if there are linked sites with spectulative ideas that somehow Karoly is a quack. Without actually finding out what he actually has said on this lol. But then you would not believe him anyway.

Then on top of that you tar me and others by an association of an association lol. Assuming everyone and everything said is all conspiracies.

So Button in the OP is pushing conspiracies. You have already claimed Hancock even though I have not mentioned him. But Dunn, Ben from UnchartedX, Karoly and I assume everyone they were associated with that helped them.

The peer review and other science articles were dismissed as speculation and fringe science. More or less psuedoscience. I don't know if there is anything left. I think you have classed it all as conspiracy or at least dismissed it as not important enough to take seriously.

Hi Brother, Thank you.

I checked your wall, and I knew you write through the context of Asia. Yes, our culture and context is similar to what you said.

First of all, I see you are living at Philippians, the Fung Wong Typphoon is badly hitting right now? Are you safe? Our prayer is to the safety of people there.

To get back to the topic, I totally agree to what you said. Sharing the gospel to the first take or the first hearers are the best to share about Christ. While I was in Bible school back to many years ago, as practical class for requirements we used to share about Christ every Saturday. When we asked them "If they ever heard about Jesus?" They replied, "We never heard the person name, Jesus, if a thing or person or male or female?". Sharing about Christ to these people, challenge about life, witnessing, showing kindness is the great achievement we ever had sometimes. They willingly wanted to hear us. They expect the next visit.

Sometimes when we were sent to the wolves as a sheep, we have to be be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves (Matt. 10:16). But sometimes the past missionaries did the wrong witnessing like they did as they wished and left with a bad reputation. Buddhist believers had idols or kind of worshipping at home. A missionary the past rented their home, and throwed their gods, as they considered their sacred god, at the street to bin. When they found out, they had some problems then chased him out of the village. A second time, a lady came to the village some years later. She act wisely, and taught their kids as preshool students, showed them kindness. Later, as she was also in a rent, she has some problem with the landlord, then had a mean to leave.

This village is another way that they don't like Christian that they did every kind of indirect way. Giving something with showing kindness is also considered that we persuaded them to become Christian. This is the biggest mistake that they did the past.

When I situated this village, they considered me as I would do the same. But to this day, I never give anyone but I tried to involved with community work like we are poor village, I helped them repaired the road, or help need of school tables or some other works. They acted weird before but when I slowly did some community works, they talked me or greet me.

As our country is in a bad situation, if they report in a bad way about me to destroy me, then military easily come to arrest or torture me. This is happening everywhere. So I am very carefully to take any step further. As far as the situation concerns, I need to show some kindness, like involving some help for the community, not to individual but a whole so that they knew our care, love and act of Christ. This required physical needs, but challenging my condition. I knew the Lord would do some transformation one day.

I would like to ask to pray for us. God bless you.

Greetings mkr,
The utmost thanks to you for persevering in your preaching and ministry under such clearly difficult circumstances.

Including bringing the Gospel to those who need to hear it most, meeting both spiritual and material needs for a flock who clearly appreciates what you are bringing. It's not much I know, but we wish you the best and pray for your safety and bless you and all around you for what you are doing.
