"Aim for the pilot, not the plane."
~ Manfred von Richthofen.

The devil causes or incites others to something like 90% or more of the worst problems. If then we were rid of the devil, and assuming we behaved ourselves otherwise, we would be rid of 90% of our worst problems and suffering. Yet who talks of doing this? Space Force? What about about a Hell Force?

Diseases are also extremely powerful. But that doesn't mean you must be in awe of and reverence them.

Yes, there are indeed such who do like and think well of them; these dumb people with the thinking capacity and mentality of herd animals that is.

He is a crime boss or else friend of one, not a great or especially talented artist. Even so, insists he be seen as an artist, and if you don't pay him tribute, they will forthwith have you hounded, harassed, beat up, and blacklisted.

The truth? In the old days, movies were made to please people. Now they are made solely to please producers with hardly a shred of real humanity left in them.

It is not that we would deliberately offend or insult them; rather we stay away from and avoid them because they are literally carrying an infectious disease (i.e., ties to criminal spirit people.)

"It is dangerous to tamper with popular prejudice. No man who has any value for his life ought to do so. It is a sheer act of suicide."

I like the animals certainly. They are very cute. But THESE people (of yours)? I can't say I think much of them.

There is a grumbling in the air,
I can feel it everywhere.
But who he is and why so upset
THAT no one will tell you (not yet.)
-----------
One can never hope to be free unless they are duly are honest and rational, or at least ruled over by such who are. There are no end of people who would correct and save the world. Yet who makes the point of advocating and preaching honesty? Who rational consistency?
-----------
There is a school of thought that thinks that autocratic spirit people don't really know what they are doing. While you may not agree with it, you ought at least be aware of its existence.
-----------
People tend to assume evil is done for love of money and lust for power. What they fail to understand is that some do evil to avoid torture by Hell people, and so get blamed for the wrong reason.
-----------
What is dirty is unhealthy. Yet why are there those who celebrate, would make fashionable, and encourage others to be dirty?
-----------
Say to yourself: Never will I suffer or take seriously the judgment and opinion of persons under the spell of hypnotism and or mind control.

These people, even as bad as they are, would not do what they are doing, if they actually knew what that was.

["1967 The Supremes - The Happening"]
[ch. 41]
...But whether Orpheus, Parmenides, Empedocles, or even Homer himself, and Hesiod, are the persons whom he means by “inspired poets,” let any one show how those who follow their guidance walk in a better way, or lead a more excellent life, than those who, being taught in the school of Jesus Christ, have rejected all images and statues, and even all Jewish superstition, that they may look upward through the Word of God to the one God, who is the Father of the Word. Who, then, are those wise men and philosophers from whom Celsus would have us to learn so many divine truths, and for whom we are to give up Moses the servant of God, the prophets of the Creator of the world, who have spoken so many things by a truly divine inspiration, and even Him who has given light and taught the way of piety to the whole human race, so that no one can reproach Him if he remains without a share in the knowledge of His mysteries? Such, indeed, was the abounding love which He had for men, that He gave to the more learned a theology capable of raising the soul far above all earthly things; while with no less consideration He comes down to the weaker capacities of ignorant men, of simple women, of slaves, and, in short, of all those who from Jesus alone could have received that help for the better regulation of their lives which is supplied by his instructions in regard to the Divine Being, adapted to their wants and capacities.
~ Origen (c. 184-c. 253), Contra Celsus, Book VII.
Although the subject is not at present at the height of general interest, I was drawn to the subject of the JFK assassination of late out of curiosity; combined with a desire for retrospective overview. So much has been said and written on the case that it isn't so easy now to know where to start or re-start. After doing some sifting, two YouTube most excellent offerings I would at the moment recommend for others who might possibly be similarly interested are these. The first is an excellent brief summary; the second is an in-depth, indeed college course, by attorney Daniel Sheehan and which, and allowing for understandable and reasonable difference of opinion on certain points, I found well worth the entire listen through:

Banned an entry in the imdb, the 1967 and original "Equinox" is the one to see -- NOT The crummy re-edited version with the park ranger. While sometimes and understandably ridiculed for the bad acting and lip-syncing, this low budget horror (possibly made on LSD) is one of the very few films that effectively recreates or can you give actual nightmares. The well-thought out and imaginative script, though it could use some fine tuning, works subtly on a number of levels, luring the viewer onto new scares and unexpected surprises. When it comes to real evil, and allowing for some literary license, this movie tells it like it is. Don't watch this before bed time if you intend to get some ready sleep!

["EQUINOX ... A Journey Into the Supernatural 1967"]
[ch. 39]
...He [Celsus] is not aware that this reference to the two eyes, the eye of the body and the eye of the mind, which he has borrowed from the Greeks, was in use among our own writers; for Moses, in his account of the creation of the world, introduces man before his transgression as both seeing and not seeing: seeing, when it is said of the woman, “The woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise;” and again not seeing, as when he introduces the serpent saying to the woman, as if she and her husband had been blind, “God knows that on the day that you eat thereof your eyes shall be opened;” and also when it is said, “They ate, and the eyes of both of them were opened.” The eyes of sense were then opened, which they had done well to keep shut, that they might not be distracted, and hindered from seeing with the eyes of the mind; and it was those eyes of the mind which in consequence of sin, as I imagine, were then closed, with which they had up to that time enjoyed the delight of beholding God and His paradise. This twofold kind of vision in us was familiar to our Saviour, who says, “For judgment I have come into this world, that they which see not, might see, and that they which see might be made blind,” — meaning, by the eyes that see not, the eyes of the mind, which are enlightened by His teaching; and the eyes which see are the eyes of sense, which His words do render blind, in order that the soul may look without distraction upon proper objects. All true Christians therefore have the eye of the mind sharpened, and the eye of sense closed; so that each one, according to the degree in which his better eye is quickened, and the eye of sense darkened, sees and knows the Supreme God, and His Son, who is the Word, Wisdom, and so forth.

["Ed Ames - My Cup Runneth Over (1967)"]
[ch. 35]
Seeking God, then, in this way, we have no need to visit the oracles of Trophonius, of Amphiaraus, and of Mopsus, to which Celsus would send us, assuring us that we would there “see the gods in human form, appearing to us with all distinctness, and without illusion.” For we know that these are demons, feeding on the blood, and smoke, and odour of victims, and shut up by their base desires in prisons, which the Greeks call temples of the gods, but which we know are only the dwellings of deceitful demons. To this Celsus maliciously adds, in regard to these gods which, according to him, are in human form, “they do not show themselves for once, or at intervals, like him who has deceived men, but they are ever open to intercourse with those who desire it.” From this remark, it would seem that Celsus supposes that the appearance of Christ to His disciples after His resurrection was like that of a spectre flitting before their eyes; whereas these gods, as he calls them, in human shape always present themselves to those who desire it. But how is it possible that a phantom which, as he describes it, flew past to deceive the beholders, could produce such effects after it had passed away, and could so turn the hearts of men as to lead them to regulate their actions according to the will of God, as in view of being hereafter judged by Him? And how could a phantom drive away demons, and show other indisputable evidences of power, and that not in any one place, like these so-called gods in human form, but making its divine power felt through the whole world, in drawing and congregating together all who are found disposed to lead a good and noble life?
