There's also Indian Barbarika.
Krishna then asks the boy whom he would favour in the war. Barbarika reveals that he intends to fight for the side whichever is weak. Krishna asks him if he had seriously given a thought about the consequences:
Krishna tells that whichever side he supports will end up making the other side weaker due to his power. Nobody will be able to defeat him. Hence, as he will be forced to switch sides to support the other side that has become weaker. Thus, in an actual war, he will keep oscillating between two sides, thereby destroying the entire army of both sides and eventually only he would remain.
You have to think of who it affects and how its effects incentivize behavior.
15/hr & Stimmies the more financially responsible of the 'new money poor' are looking to buy houses with their government cheese. Moving on up to a deluxe 3-bed 2-bath in the skyyyyyyy.
Too big to fail middle managers the less financially responsible of the middle class who bought a home slightly above their means will be looking to sell and downsize. Something without a pool, maybe no MiL suite outbuilding. Maybe a nice 3-bed 2-bath in the skyyyyyyy.
The entire lower and middle class is being displaced into the middle-lower infrastructure.
Will we import people to fill the Project Housing? Will the empty apartments fill themselves organically? Who's going to be scooping up the upper-middle estates? Who will live in those? Will we be importing overlords for those homes or just baiting a new cheddar-on-a-stick for the next leg of the rat race?
The vaccines are for an as-of-yet unreleased massively deadly bioweapon that the US can't admit they know exists. Covid is the excuse to put the cure in us ahead of the 'leak', and our demonstrated ability to custom-build vaccines on the fly is a disincentive to anyone releasing the next wave of pestilence.
You're being vaccinated against every disease in Wuhan's lab, not just the one we noticed had leaked.
According to the manufacturers, the mRNA vaccine causes the transcription of an arbitrary protein within cells. Our research has shown cells are affected systemically rather than locally to the injection site.
Assuming you write your mRNA to code for proteins which are necessarily deleted from cancerous cells (think along the lines of p53) Link1, the result would be for cancerous cells to discover their own mutation during mitosis and self-regulate accordingly (apoptose) while healthy cells already contain the above protein and will continue to exist just fine.
Basically either A) you don't believe the vaccine technology is real, therefore you can't trust the medical system because they are pushing snake oil, or B) you believe the vaccine technology is real, which proves they want to keep you sick by not using the technology in obviously beneficial ways, so you shouldn't trust the medical system.
Either way, you shouldn't trust the medical system and anyone who does is a fool.
As a whimsical afterthought: maybe they're poisoning/killing 99% of the world because this new technology is the key to literal immortality and they simply don't need us anymore.
If they can just print proteins, then mRNA injections could easily cure cancer, basically starting today (or as long as it takes to type the code).
Unfortunately, instead, you get a mystery sequence that (if it goes according to plan) puts harmful spikes into/onto your cells.
It's the same way Nuclear discovery could have made limitless electricity, but instead we make more and more bombs.
Yeah, we're fucked. It's like a train rolling down the line: you can't divert what's coming; all you can do is get off the tracks.
The fuze has been lit. The piano is already dropped off the building. The bullet has left the gun. The shockwave is on the horizon and approaching fast.
It's obvious both that 1) it's coming, and B) that it's too late to stop it.
He was gonna rat on someone, and now his silence makes this whole mess all go away, we can avoid filing charges, but you owe me!
Same thing with Billy G banging kids. How can you go against the banks when they can put you in prison forever?
"I have a sincerely held religious belief that prevents me from vaccination. Signed, John Doe"
Leave the onus on them to dissect your beliefs without being given any specifics. Don't hand them enough rope to hang you.
-
"I'm X religion" -we talked to your leader and he said it's okay
-
"Abortion" -we looked at the ingredients and think it's fine
-
"Cloning is bad" -it's not cloning because it's not a whole organism
-
"My pre-existing health condition" -don't be silly, is safe and effective
Just say no and mean no, and give HR what they need so they can check your box as 'Resolved'.
Basically you hit the nail on the head.
You can't describe lightness without defining darkness. In this way, the darkness may continue to exist.
Ten commandments? 10 worst things you can do.
How to manipulate someone into self-destruction? Eve's serpent.
Torture methods and the devil's pride? Look at the book of Job.
How to weaken the church? John's letters to the seven churches can illuminate potential weaknesses.
How to topple the entire planet to create a new world order? Revelations.
The book can't show you the truth without showing also the false.
You see this crop up today?
"By rats"
The bridge upon which we are traversing to avoid our fall has become a balance beam and then a tightrope, and ahead looks like a strand of yarn, a spider's silk, and then eternal void.
It's mostly disheartening when all our threads appear to be running out at the same time.
When it's the coldest May on record but the warmest October on record, it seems like the seasons are shifting but not changing in intensity.
It would be nice if these scientists would see the holes in their reporting and express things in a less ambiguous way.
He makes it uncool to ask the questions whose answers would disturb the status quo.
No one could have possibly guessed that the son of a CIA operative would have a pro-CIA agenda...
"They're doing child sacrifice in a pizza place in DC." They aren't doing exactly that, so I guess nobody in government is corrupt at all.
It would seem to be in their best interest, then, to never allow this to be all over.
