America really is the 80s mini series ‘V’.
So has it often been with organized crime.I do think the major Mexican and South American cartels do all four.
This is great idea info. Thanks for sharing!The US military has not previously directly attacked drug operations. However, the military has provided intelligence support to Latin American militaries:
"In the 1990s, the U.S. military assisted Colombian and Peruvian antidrug law enforcement activities by sharing information about civilian flights suspected of carrying drugs — like radar data and communications intercepts. But after those governments started shooting down such planes, the Clinton administration in 1994 halted the assistance for months.
The Office of Legal Counsel produced an opinion saying that military officers who provided such information while knowing it would be used to summarily shoot down those aircraft could be putting themselves at risk of later prosecution. Congress eventually modified U.S. law to permit such assistance.
And the Navy has long participated in intercepting vessels in international waters that are suspected of smuggling drugs toward the United States. But naval ships typically do so as a law enforcement operation, working under the command of a U.S. Coast Guard officer. Under an 1878 law called the Posse Comitatus Act, it is generally illegal to use the military to perform law enforcement functions."
....and such operations can lead to misidentifcation and inocent civilians dying:
"On 20 April 2001, the Peruvian Air Force (FAP) shot down a civilian floatplane, killing American Christian missionary Veronica "Roni" Bowers and her infant daughter Charity.[1]
While flying into the Loreto Region of Peru, Bowers, her daughter Charity, husband Jim, and six-year-old son Cory were being followed by a United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) observation plane. The Peruvian Air Force was operating as part of the Air Bridge Denial Program. The CIA did not attempt to identify the tail number of the church-owned plane per procedure."

Yeah I agree, there is nothing wrong with carrying a weapon it all depends on what you intend to do with it.My only reason for responding the way I did is the fact that many anti gun proponents use scripture to try and make the gun the problem. My only point was the weapon is not the problem it is the person using it . If it was the weapon that was bad I do not believe Jesus would said to get one in any context.
What is the evidence that infants receiving the vaccine 24 hours after birth have a better or worse outcome than those receiving it at three months?
If you pay attention to these posts you would know that "saturated with lies and misinfo" aren't my words so putting them in quotes and declaring them to be my beliefs is careless or worse.
I don't think VAERS is saturated with lies - although lies are put in by some people for their own agendas - there is much misinformation primarily, imo, because correlation is not causation but such correlations when they reach a concerning significance trigger investigation. Tracking trends is done by statistics to filter noise from data, which are then studied. This is pretty basic.
Have you ever looked into the VAERS database yourself and actually read some the cases as submitted?
One case was of a patient who died some time after getting a covid vaccine, but she had also been run over by a bus (or something similar, this was a while back so I don't recall the exact details) shortly before dying. VAERS had this flagged as death post vaccine which was true chronologically. Now, if hundreds of patients died by bus post vaccine, then that should be looked into as well as to why.
There is a ginormous difference between evidence and proof.
What was the point of the statement? Get the beam out of your own eye then you will see clearly enough to take the speck from your brother’s eye.Christ often used things like parables, hyperbole, metaphors, and similes to make his point.
For instance he commanded that we be perfect even as God is perfect and yet none of us are in ourselves.
Jesus gave extreme commands to people at times that were all but impossible to obey such as telling a man who had been lame for 30 plus years to take up his bed roll and walk. Or commanding a person with a withered hand to stretch it out.
These commands fortunately came with his divine power so that the impossible became possible.
Unfortunately many who are obsessed with social Justice are attempting the impossible by their own power. They believe that what they deem as just and unjust is a fact and that could be the biggest log they have in their eye.
The industry of social Justice is a very hard place to check one’s ego where as in the gosple the ego finds no purchase.
Is he here illegally? Can he be deported?Hernandez is believed to be in the United States after Trump pardoned him.
If I wanted to get cute, I could point out that, with a sample size of 1, it's actually Jews who have the highest propensity for establishing ethnonationalist state entities in the regions they control.
Except for the clear observational evidence of melted, weakened or softened stones. I gave you th evidence you you skipped it. Its easy to claim no evidence when you skip it.Get through your thick skull you have not presented a shred of evidence of anything in this thread that supports your nonsense.
So what do you think this is. How is this stupid. It is you I think who is being silly by claiming that this is not evidence for stone melting and softening.The sheer stupidity is for you give lectures to educated individuals in this thread who at the very least know what evidence means.
Evidence is physical in nature, it is measurable and/or observable not your idiotic definition where it is derivable and interpretable according to one's bias.
Its not just about Egypt. But they definitely had some way of softening stones. Similar signatures are found between the Egyptian stones in walls and the Purvians.When it comes to melted or softened stone in the case of Egyptology there is not a shred of evidence of any physical changes occurring when subjected to petrological testing as shown in my previous post.
Already did last post and you ignored it. So please go back and check. As well as what is provided above.If concentrating on Egypt is too narrow by all means supply petrological tests for any of your non Egyptian images showing the rock has been physically changed.
Otherwise as you have demonstrated images are subject to interpretation where bias not evidence is the determining factor.
I do think the major Mexican and South American cartels do all four.Agreed. But tell me, what is the intent of drug cartels?
Is it to:
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping;
....or, perhaps, make a profit on an illegal substance?
LOL
remember now, I was referencing the time period 14jun1775 - 09dec2025.
I think you have me mistaken, good friend. I dont get to pick nor choose a thing.
If I wanted to get cute, I could point out that, with a sample size of 1, it's actually Jews who have the highest propensity for establishing ethnonationalist state entities in the regions they control.I've provided the numbers before, pretending the two are equivalents would be dishonest.
One clearly has a higher propensity for that type of preference for power consolidation.

State religion - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Roughly half of the ~50 Muslim majority countries end up with an officially codified state religion that gets special constitutional treatment (and severe punishments for insulting the faith or leaving the faith)
Of the ~120 Christian majority countries, a much smaller percentage of those have an official state religion, and of the ones that do, most are a historical holdover/relic that's no longer enforced or carries any legal weight. (for example, the Icelandic government isn't throwing rocks at anyone for leaving the Church of Iceland)
So while one can say "they both do it, so that means it's a wash", that's too blunt an instrument to perform any pragmatic problem solving or knowing what needs more focus.
In the same way that if:
Bill drinks 4 beers a night
Ted drinks 15 beers every night
Yeah, we can say "they both have a drinking problem", sure...but clearly one needs more urgent "priority focus" in regards to tackling the problem.
The last 30 years of the 20th century.Sir can you please list a Presidential Administration, after the day of 14jun1775, where military lawyers did NOT bow to the political tides and ideology of whoever happened to be in power at that time?
Yes the Christian zionists. They don't like to hear anything contrary to what they believe. It is hard to talk to them.Even though true I am not anti-Semitic . There are many scriptures to prove Jerusalem is the harlot city. Revelation 11:8 Too many people today don’t realize that if that day is not Far off they will be worshiping the man of sin. Revelation 12:9 People refuse to believe that Satan has indeed deceived the world. The big revival they say is coming is when they are worshiping the man of sin. Then if you try to warn them you make yourself a target.
Many people of various religions over the years have immigrated because of the religious freedom we offer. I personally know Moslems who have done the same, yet you assert that it is impossible for them.I've provided the numbers before, pretending the two are equivalents would be dishonest.
One clearly has a higher propensity for that type of preference for power consolidation.

Sadly, but we are seeing cracks in Trump's MAGA base.Only Congress can stop the President from waging war without their declaration. They won't, because they're MAGA
I think you have me mistaken, good friend. I dont get to pick nor choose a thing.All three condtions A, B & C must be met. You (and Trump) don't get to pick and chose.
I think many who think that they are Christians will be shocked.When Jesus returns most people are going overwhelmed by his wrath.They are going to cry out for an avalanche to bury them to hide them from the wrath of Jesus. When drug smugglers see Jesus they're going to want to be taken out my a missile, rather than face the wrath of Jesus. Revelation 6:16.
I think perhaps you don't know enough about Jesus to gage what his attitude is.
