Chamo isso de Dilema do Cadeado: se Deus me protege e me ama, por que trancar o portão? Por que vidro blindado no papamóvel? Eu não estaria desconfiando de Deus ao me proteger? Há uma resposta simples e outra complexa sobre isso.
A simples está na Escritura: Não tentarás o Senhor teu Deus. Quando você percebe a possibilidade de perigo e mesmo assim a ignora sem motivo apenas para provocar a proteção divina, você cai na tentação que o diabo apresentou a Cristo, de se jogar do templo para que os anjos o segurassem. E Cristo responde: "Não tentarás o teu Deus".
A complexa está no final do comentário aos analíticos posteriores de Aristóteles feito por São Tomás de Aquino: quem abdica da razão perde o direito à boa providência. Se Deus te dá uma faculdade, é para que você a exerça. Se sua razão consegue conceber a possibilidade real de perigo, então está nas suas mãos te proteger quanto a isso. Se você abdica da razão, abdica do dom de Deus, e portanto de sua proteção. Mas que proteção, já que me protejo?
A proteção quanto às coisas que você não pode lidar. Por isso Paulo diz que Deus não permite tentações que não podemos vencer, ou seja, permitindo as que podemos vencer, pois estamos aqui para agir; mas quanto àquelas coisas que não podemos controlar ou até mesmo perceber, é aí que a providência de Deus sempre nos custodia conforme seus desígnios, e isto se usarmos nossa razão para nos protegermos daquilo que conseguimos conceber.
Resumindo: tranque seu portão.
We owe you a clear update.
The last few days at Magisat have been bumpy, and we’re sorry for that. We recently scaled down parts of our infrastructure to reduce costs and make sure we can keep building through this bear market.
It’s not the most exciting work, but it’s the kind of work you do when you actually care about the product and the market. While others are shutting things down, we’re choosing to adapt, tighten up, and keep going.
During that process, one of our indexer servers got corrupted. Restoring and resyncing it from the latest backup took longer than expected, which is why the website felt rough for a few days.
That’s the whole story.
We’re not closing. We’re still here. We’re not giving up, and neither should you! 🫡
Rare Sats are one of the best things Ordinals has created, and that hasn’t changed one bit!
The kidnappings and brutal murder of school children and teachers in Oyo and other states of the federation have absolutely nothing to do with Islam or the teachings of Prophet Mohammed.
The reason our women and school children in Oyo are forced to sleep in the forests for weeks and are ruthlessly tortured by rag-tag militias is not because of Jihad or Islam or whatever nonsense propaganda the media wants you to believe. The real reason is simply because Oyo state is heavily blessed with massive, unmined deposits of Uranium, highly sought-after lithium, pure gold, and rare earth gemstones.
Now, the good people in Oyo State who are the primary victims of this manufactured insecurity, who are forced to sleep in total darkness and depend on highly expensive diesel just to sustain their petty businesses, may not be aware that they have enough uranium buried right under their feet to build nuclear reactors that could comfortably power the entire country for the next three hundred years.
But this local ignorance is completely insignificant in the ruthless geopolitical arena. Nigerians may very well be kept ignorant, but the Western nations who desperately need this uranium to power their massive industrial grids and nuclear submarines are absolutely not ignorant. The struggling youth in Oyo may not care about the raw gold beneath their soil, but the ruthless financial cartels in Dubai and Switzerland who melt, refine, and launder these blood minerals for American dollars are very much interested in them. The educated middle class in Nigeria, who would rather abandon their country and reduce themselves to overworked cleaners, taxi drivers, and caregivers in Canada and the UK instead of violently challenging the oppressors who have captured their state institutions, may very well be ignorant of the existence of huge deposits of lithium scattered all over the country. But the Silicon Valley conglomerates who desperately need these precious stones and rare earth elements for the new Apple M-series neural chips, Tesla electric vehicle batteries, and advanced military microprocessors are very much interested in these minerals. They will do absolutely anything to violently lift it out of the ground in Africa and ship it directly to their high-tech research labs overseas.
This is exactly why whenever there are sudden insecurity challenges such as mass kidnappings, brutal terror attacks on schools, and massacres at worship centers, there are always massive illegal mining activities running quietly in the background shadows. Indeed, in this year alone, almost forty people including heavily funded foreign nationals have been arrested by our local security agencies on strict charges related to illegal mining. Even a massive convoy of seven heavy-duty trucks loaded with raw uranium and lithium ore was intercepted and seized by state security forces just this year alone in Oyo state.
The terror activities are definitely not a holy jihad. They execute these bloody campaigns to install absolute, paralyzing fear in the local population and violently chase them away from their ancestral lands. Once the villages are emptied, these foreign companies and their local political enforcers can then seamlessly move in with their heavy drilling equipment, excavators, and chemical processors to extract these precious stones to power their trillion-dollar corporate empires.
The brainwashed recruits who physically carry out these terror attacks on their behalf may very well tell their traumatized victims that it is a Fulani agenda to Islamize Nigeria. They may very well release highly edited, pre-recorded videos claiming how these terror attacks are done to honor the teachings of Mohammed. But you must understand that these are all carefully constructed psychological operations and cheap propaganda.
What foot soldiers believe they are fighting for is completely irrelevant. Those ideologies are merely fairy-tale stories created to condition them psychologically to sustain the brutal war efforts for their hidden masters. For example, if George Bush had told the American troops the honest truth, that they all needed to go to the desert and die simply so that American defense contractors and oil majors could make an extra hundred billion dollars in corporate profits, they would have all dropped their rifles and badges and immediately renounced their duties. In the worst-case scenario, they would have stormed the White House, dragged the president out of the Oval Office, poured kerosene on him, and lit him on fire. So obviously, this truthful tactic will never work for any empire.
So instead, these gullible American troops were fed the lie that they were fighting a global "terror regime" that was secretly building weapons of mass destruction to wipe out humanity. This total change of narrative is crucial because the soldiers need to see themselves not as disposable, brainwashed tools fighting for corporate profit margins, but as heroic freedom fighters working for global peace and democratic stability. But at the end of the day, when you ignore the political speeches and simply follow the money trail, you get to understand what is truly happening. When Iraq violently fell, their sovereign gold reserves were immediately loaded onto armored trucks and shipped to the US to be deposited securely into the vaults of Citi Bank and the Federal Reserve, the uranium and critical aerospace assets were seized and transported to hidden military black sites, and the massive Iraqi oil fields were forcefully cleared of their local owners and drilling monopolies were permanently awarded to Halliburton, ExxonMobil, and Chevron.
The exact same imperial logic applies to the bandits and terrorists currently ravaging our rural communities. They may very well look you in the eye and tell you that they want to establish a pure Islamic state. But when the indigenous people are successfully uprooted from their resource-rich communities after relentless kidnappings, systemic torture, and public executions, the very same foreign conglomerates that secretly supply these terrorists with their thermal surveillance drones, high-grade military gear, encrypted satellite phones, and untraceable black-market cash quickly move in and start extracting these resources to be shipped overseas.
Wars are never genuinely fought on the superficial grounds of religion or ethnicity. They are, and have always been, ruthlessly fought over land, resources, and money.
In the case of Nigeria, Salafi Wahhabi Islamic ideology is what they use to brainwash and recruit most of the foot soldiers for this neo-colonial imperial plunder of Africa.
