Clues of God - his works

God wants to remain hidden with no absolute proof. This allows for a certain amount of free will.

But he does subtly intervene in small ways and sometimes world-impacting ways.

I will start this off with my own miracle in answer to my prayers.

Since December 2010 I have had a systemic disseminated bat fungus (histoplasmosis). It caused cancer in my late wife and by June 2011 she was dead. In August 2011 I was ready to intensive care but through a series of serendipitous events found out what I had. Started Itraconazole and it was amazing at first.

But in November 2023 the fungus became resistant. I was ready for hospital except I knew there was no cure. No conventional medicine cure that is.

In desperation I drank colloidal silver (CS) solution. 150 ml morning, noon and night. The next day I was fine. But I felt I needed to kill the fungus once and for all so I did not need so much CS. I had previously tried with CS but only got a small improvement.

Since fungus likes sugar I went to a Hydro for a fast. Did six full days on water alone. Suffered the whole time although it is not supposed to be like that. Blood sugar stayed at about 4.2 to 4.4. On day 5 and 6 I drank a lot of CS. One days 7-10 I broke my fast with all the right foods.

Day 9 and 10 I felt great. I had forgotten to bring enough Itraconazole. A few days at home and I was in great shape. Not hunched over from pain. Not on 5 pain tablets a day. Only 6-8 hours of sleep instead of 12-14hrs. No brain fog.

A few days later I decided to take the Itraconazole with a meal. I suffered the next 24 hours and nothing could relieve it. I concluded the Itraconazole was causing it.

So now I am fine with 150ml a day of CS. Energy and feeling good. No tablets. Avoiding vitamin supplements like the plague. Had no idea they were so bad.

God put events in my life for me to learn about CS. And at the Hydro I met a lady who gave me information on making my own. R400 (about $20) for 2 liters is a bit much when the ingredients are distilled water and pure silver.

I learned of 2 other "miracles" while there.

WW2 fighter, part of, found on beach

During december 2023, several storms hit the Danish West Coast. This always digs up stuff from the bottom and sends it onto the beaches of Jutland and the Islands along the coast. For instance, between Xmas and New Year, those people that braved the cold, wind, and rain on the beach of the island where I live, found a good deal of amber. Among them were many of the German tourists that literally flock to the island most of the year.

One such German tourist also spotted something else: A large piece of what seemed to be an aircraft. By help of the internet, he tentatively identified it as part of an FW190 fighter from WW2.

He contacted the local WW2 history association, of which I am currently chairman. Our normal work area is the 400+ bunkers left strewn over most of the 50 odd Km² island, but of course this was also interesting.

Unfortunately, before I could locate it, our local beach-cleaning team had picked it up and dumped it in the scrap metal container at the recycling station. :(

However, I found it there and recovered it, so it is currently in my backyard.

So, after studying photos and drawings, I can in fact confirm the identification: Focke Wulff 190. It is on surprisingly good condition after 80+ years in the sea. Presumably it have been buried in the sand bottom for most of the time, this also explains why it is largely free of anything growing on it.

It is the bottom and port side of the rear fuselage, between the cockpit area and the tail assembly, all flattened out. I enclose a picture of it as it was found on the beach (the finder's photo). It is about 2 meters long, and in the foreground in the picture you see the bottom with the ventral hatch (for some equipment access), and above the square side hatch, also for various service access. The oval shape of the ventral hatch hints at it being an FW190A-6, as that hatch was round on most other models.

The goal now is to stabilize and conserve it. We will then endeavour to prop it in some scaffolding so we can bend it back in roughly original shape. It will then be put on display in our museum bunker. As the association has it's 25 year anniversary this year, it is a nice present from the sea.

What is an annointing and can science test it.

I grew up as a Christian when I was a kid, but now I see Christianity as organized crime for conmen and sex predators. A fake personal development industry with a collection plate that puts ideas in people's heads to make them vulnerable to predators and exploitation.

The main leverage the pastors seem to have is the anointing that can be felt in church during the singing, and their claims to be leaders and experts in the field of anointings. In churches where the anointing is stronger, singing in the chord of C seems to influence the strength and changing the songs to an Ab seems to turn the tap off again.

I understand there will be sceptics that scoff at the idea of some kind of spiritual atmosphere being real in a church, but it will be science and scrutiny that proves it exists or does not. That doesn't mean the jokes about it shouldn't exist.

The pastors use anointing, to recruit people to joining their religion and submitting to their leadership and collection plate. It's effective and it sucks a lot of people into believing that God is real, and He is with them. Even if people are smart enough to see the pastors are frauds, they still go to church just to feel the anointing every Sunday. It's because of the chicken soup for the soul.

The scam includes the church being the only place people can feel the anointing. If they come to church every Sunday, you can put ideas in their heads and the only way to make money out of the anointing is the collection plate. Unless science and scrutiny can look into the anointing and see if it is just a natural part of personal development and social bonding the fraud will continue for as long as the pastors protect their power, control, and leverage.

The million-dollar challenge has been withdrawn now and it's a pity because it would have been a great way of putting an anointing to scrutiny and making a million dollars. Does anyone know of anything similar that will be willing to risk the wrath and intimidation of the church to put an anointing to scrutiny and test it. I don't see the pastors as having a legitimate claim to anointings being their spiritual property, I see what the pastors are doing as prohibition and exploitation.

So, if I wanted to get an anointing tested and understood, where would I start? Academia will probably cave in under pressure from the church and a peer reviewed study is unlikely. You will not get burned at the stake anymore but there would be consequences.

Do the pastors pass their expertise and leadership in the field that includes anointings as part of academia? They make a lot of claims associated with intelligence, education and academia but there are no peer reviewed studies on anointings. It's like they are above peer reviews, or they are hiding something. Or they refuse to acknowledge their accountability to their peers.

For the record, I am not an educated academic, I am a comedian.

So, other than a million-dollar challenge, how do you provoke academia into doing a study on anointings?

Why not hanging for carrying out the death penalty?

This thread was sparked by this article:

https://www.themarshallproject.org/2...-death-penalty

The article is about an upcoming execution in which they are going to use nitrogen suffocation to kill the prisoner. It's a method never used before, and it does seem - like the article says - entirely experimental.

If you read the article, you'll see that there are a variety of methods proposed or being used yet I see nowhere is using hanging. It's been used for centuries, carried out properly it is instantaneous, we know how it works, there are even hangmen in some countries that could give hands-on advice.

So, my question is why all these weird and experimental execution methods when there is a perfectly good method they could adopt? What is the reluctance to use hanging?

(Thread isn't meant to be about the punishment of the death penalty itself, not interested in a debate about whether it is right or wrong in this thread.)

Dispassionate Review of Current UFO Beliefs

If you are looking for an an analysis of the current state of belief in alien UFOS, this is quite dispassionate and even handed without getting down into the weeds

Are UFO Sightings Real?

Quote:

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence—and as of this writing, despite tens of thousands of UFO reports, there simply is no conclusive evidence that Earth has ever received visitors from an intelligent extraterrestrial species. But if you accept the idea that all things have an explanation, even if we don't have it yet, the study of UFOs and UAPs starts to look more like a problem for better imaging and AI, and less like the province of fools. Throw more and more photons and pixels at the issue, and eventually, we can shove outward the perimeter of human understanding. It's only a matter of time.

I rather like that as a conclusion. Pass it along to those who are on the fence and not too deeply in to Government Coverups and other such conspiracies.

The MSM can occasionally get it right. :th:

The greater Middle Eastern conflict

Iran seems to be intent on enraging all it's neighbours.

this time it's Pakistan.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-67999465

Any ideas how this can help Iran with it's anti Western/Sunni/Jewish conflict?

Starting this thread in politics to allow wider discussion than that allowed in the specific Isreal/Gaza threads.

Help with a scene from Russian history

This is a video of the current Russian national anthem, with various scenes of Russian geography, culture, and history. The visuals and the music are outstanding; for those so inclined, I would recommend watching it in hi-def with a decent sound system.

[yt]VJcnuZB4Xt4[/yt]
My question is, what's going on in the scene that starts about the 1:00 mark (right before the scene of Napoleon retreating from Moscow), and who are the two guys whose names are written in Russian cursive? Also, anyone who wants to identify any of the other scenes or locations, feel free. (I'll post about a few I've identified later.)

As a side note, I was tempted to write in the comments that "It's sad that a country with such a rich culture and history has been, and continues to be, responsible for so much evil in the world," but I figured it would just get deleted, and possibly draw attention from Russian trolls. :rolleyes:
