I do think food is going to be the main problem. I don't know how you could force a nation into lockdown for a decade. There aren't enough police/military to do that in the US.
okay, have fun playing by yourself.
Space is irrelevant if you don't believe in it. Why spend time trying to debunk it?
Cool, prove it.
Could be a poorly drawn woman in a dress, but the times are past where we can default to a reasonable conclusion like that.
I watched it. He didn't seem to be saying quite what you thought.
Where is the full clip?
She has lost her marbles. Time to retire.
If you believe I said those things then you're being emotional and I see no reason to continue this conversation.
Nothing you said in this reply applies to me. I never claimed any of that.
You sound very arrogant, supposing that you know the mind of god. I'm just a humble doubter.
God gave us minds capable of logic and reason, then tells us not to use them - but only have faith. Eh, no thanks, that's not a god I want to worship.
If he had made us dumb, ignorant and incapable and told us to believe in the unseen then that's an easier sell.
I'm glad you're a contributor here and I like reading your historical comparisons - it's valuable to have that perspective on the forum. I think you sound a little too certain about your long-term conclusions, though. There's no way to know if what you're predicting will happen and I don't see much talk of how it could be halted from going so far, or what to do if it does. What we are focusing on is immediately in front of us, the shots, for example, and it's easy to see how to resist that in a decentralized fashion.
The other aspect that may cause a lack of engagement with your posts is the repetition without adding much new. Perhaps people have said all they want to say about the ideas you've put forward, so they up-vote it and move on. Perhaps you could try slowly expanding on your connections between the "Great Reset" and Khmer Rouge and how these horrible outcomes are linked.
The third point I'll make is that I don't think this forum is very large, so it needs to spread to other platforms if you want it to be seen by more people. I'm not a social media person, so I don't have much advice on how to do that.
You'd have to catch it and survive, presumably. Or not catch it.
Are you suggesting that a spiritual being can interact with the physical world?
How are demons manifesting in physical form and getting access to computers?
All you can control is yourself and maybe your family, if you have one. I don't think a centralized plan to stop them will be needed because we have already shown that a decentralized and unorganized resistance is effective. People everywhere are refusing the shots and refusing to obey the orders. If they try a hardcore lockdown, we won't do it.
I think we are in agreement. They could do it if they redesigned the rocket using modern engineering techniques. I don't think they could take an old design and build it today, though. Especially not quickly or cheaply.
As for how long it would take to redesign and build an old rocket, I have no idea. NASA doesn't seem motivated to do anything quickly these days. I think they opted for a new design (SLS/Artemis) with more flexibility for advanced missions, not just to the moon, but to Mars as well.
I like the bit about blue origin... that capsule is suspiciously clean!
I've never heard of Trappist 1, so I'm not sure what dots you're connecting there...
It hasn't regressed, they've made advances in rocket technology. The problem is that a rocket is a very complex system that has to get every variable correct or else something very bad happens to the rocket. It's not like they can just rebuild old designs from the 1960s... the fabrication techniques they used then don't exist anymore.
I'm sure other people can explain it better than I can, but building a rocket that can take humans to the moon (or mars) is really expensive and requires a lot of trial and error to get it right. The government is incredibly inefficient and NASA has become more motivated to ensure safety (and avoid bad PR) rather than getting results. What they accomplished in the 60's was done by a completely different organization than today's NASA (just look at how the rest of gov't has changed).
It is going to take longer this time than it did in the 60's because of the politics. Every time a new president is elected, he has changed NASA's objectives for the next 4 - 8 years, making it hard to get to the finish line of a big project.
That's why my real interest is in what SpaceX is doing. They're much faster at prototyping and testing. They've launched (and blown up) quite a few Starships already and are far ahead of any other space org.
That's exactly right. Going to the moon was really expensive and those missions used the Saturn V rocket - the biggest rocket ever launched by the US - which they stopped making in the 1970s. The space shuttle was not capable of reaching the moon - it was billed as a cheap, reusable system for low earth orbit and it ended up being super expensive and time consuming to refurbish (not to mention dangerous). This decision caused NASA to no longer have a moon-capable rocket for humans.
Since the shuttle program ended they've been working on their next moon-capable rocket, the Artemis rocket, but it is years overdue and overbudget and is already outdated compared to the Starship being tested by SpaceX.
The Christians in my life are science-educated and intelligent but they have a massive blind spot around religious matters. If something contradicts their belief, they don't adjust their belief, they reject the new information and hold to the belief. . They can "do all the research" and still arrive at the wrong conclusion due to religious bias. They don't see anything wrong with this - they see it as a strength.
They definitely want to demolish everything. Maximum carnage and chaos is the goal. After the whole thing is burned down, they expect their offer of stability and prosperity in building the New World Order will be gladly accepted.
It's very difficult to see past Chaos though, so there is no guarantee it will go their way. For me, I believe humanity will pull through on the other side, more free than we are now, without THEM.
It's not censorship - it's someone trying for a quick payday. Good. Let them do this and be forgotten.
