Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, & Jerome Powell will go down in history for running the most criminally insane scheme of trying to centrally plan an economy around colossal asset bubbles and fake wealth effect. These are the heads that should roll when it ends in ruin
@HighImpactFlix@Peace_theprize Eucharist is a metaphysical act of communion with God, not biological destruction of flesh. If God can create from nothing, then logically He can also change the substance of a thing while the accident remains. Actual satanists target Eucharist to desecrate it. Why would that be?
@HighImpactFlix@123MelissaB Too literal. Reduces salvation to phonetic magical spell. In Acts 4:12, "name" signifies the Divine Person, the Son of God. Even the Apostles translated Yeshua to Greek Iēsous to reach the world. God’s Substance is unchanging; languages are changing accidents used to signify Him.
@HighImpactFlix Names are signifiers; the object of faith is the Divine Person. Using "Jesus" doesn't invalidate faith; it connects you to Christ via your own language. God understands the intellect’s intent regardless of language. You call on the same substance through a different accident.
@HighImpactFlix Former agnostic here: Christ’s life, death, & resurrection are uniquely credible. With eyewitness testimonies written within a generation & more manuscripts than accounts of ancient figures you probably accept, faith is a rational response. Reflexive skepticism might be the cage.
The US DOES have a plan as it attacks Iran. And it isn't "Trump's" plan - but a plan that has been pursued continuously from at least as early as the Bush Jr. administration to today.
Just like Iraq wasn't toppled just in 2003 - but after years of war (Desert Storm, 1990-91), sanctions, and covert operations spanning multiple administrations, this current war with Iran is just one step of many meant to weaken and eventually destroy Iran.
Look at the trajectory that brought about this conflict and use that trajectory to trace out the most likely future US foreign policy will take.
Whether this US strategy succeeds or not depends on both Iran and its allies - but also the larger picture trying to topple Iran fits into - especially in regards to US ambitions to ultimately isolate and collapse Russia and especially China and how the former helps facilitate the latter.
@zerohedge So Trump is the mirror image of Biden who stole Russian stocks held by Americans. As Russia is to the "left"; China is to the "right". Both criminals.
@zerohedge Hopium is one hell of a drug. He's got a shit cabinet full of neocon warmongers and big gov shills with a sugar coating of a couple decent tokens like Gabbard.
@beinlibertarian The logical reason is that he lied to get your support and get elected. Just like 99.99% of politicians in history. You're just gullible if you fell for the pandering.
@ComicDaveSmith Put down the wishful-thinking crack pipe. He's putting in neocon clones. You're very gullible if you thought it was going any other way.
