    Kenyan president telling his finance people that the need for dollars will decrease significantly in a few weeks.

    They will be buying oil with their own currency.

    This is becoming a trend around the world.

    I finally found a good video that captures some of the impact of what translator Mauro Biglino has revealed with his translations of Old testament books.

    Now the O.T. earns its place as a truly important history book. With deep implications.

    I consider this to be an important video.

    Good sober conversation from the owner of the Skinwalker Ranch.

    I have paid little attention to most of this topic. Hearing two intelligent men discuss this peculiar place was more interesting then I had thought it would be.

    The Judeo and Christian part of Judeo Christianity should be separated. The whole 'chosen people' schtick of the Jews harkens back to a time where different tribes of people had their own gods. And, of course, each tribe thought they were chosen.

    But that's been dropped by most people when they swapped polytheism for nationalism sectarianism and other weirdness, under the rubric of monotheism.

    Jews are still laboring under the antiquated bs of 'chosen people.' And they have suffered for it, terribly. At this point the Israelis are causing suffering because of it, but insistent that they are on the moral high ground.

    You will see African countries, who have been edged out of global markets, fight back in other ways, too. They can threaten to use their own currency when purchasing oil, for example, or pressure the U.S. to get cracking with proper trade agreements and quit raping their countries for natural resources....or else. There has never been a proper, 'or else' before. So, good!

    If you watched the video, it reveals a story with no God, transcendental as we imagine, present in the Hebrew text. It is detail rich and contains litttle fantasy.

    There are only flesh and blood beings mentioned on the Old Testament. Some are larger, smarter, have flying vehicles and they get mean from all the alcohol they get their people to supply them with to make them happy and protect them from the other Elohim and their people.

    There is no transcendant 'God' in the Old Testament and no existential "sin" was commited to necessitate a Savior in the future or any other tiime. The Christian savior myth is based on Original Sin. The whole story falls apart.

    Ontologies, based on an error, and their derivative philosophies make for a clown world with lots of dead heretics.

    Mainly women. That is the quiet part.

    Lightbulb

    I've just decided I'm going to create a new augmented-reality game, to be played by way of one's smartphone. The game will employ the smartphone's built-in high-resolution cameras to overlay game-specific visual elements onto the three-dimensional real-world environment of the player.

    The objective of the player is to locate Social Justice Warriors™ and virtually tag them on screen with a gender-neutral third-person pronoun. Every Social Justice Warrior™ can be tagged up to five times, provided that they are being tagged by different players — only one tag per player is allowed for each Social Justice Warrior™. Every time the player tags a Social Justice Warrior™, they get ten (10) points.

    One exception to the rule of five allowed tags per Social Justice Warrior™ is when one encounters a Social Justice Warrior™ of a specific type called a Snowflake™, which can be encountered at random places in the augmented reality map of the environment. Snowflakes™ may be tagged only once in order to not cause any trauma resulting from social stigma, but unlike with regular Social Justice Warriors™, tagging an as yet untagged Snowflake™ yields the player twenty (20) points.

    There is however a catch: while attempting to tag regular Social Justice Warriors™ beyond their maximum of five allowed tags simply results in an on-screen error message, any attempt to tag an already tagged Snowflake™ will cost the player fifteen (15) points. Also, if the player mistakenly tags an individual who is not a Social Justice Warrior™, then the player will equally lose fifteen (15) points.

    All throughout the game, the player will also encounter strategically dispersed virtual — i.e. on-screen-only — characters in either human or animal form that act as ChatGPT-powered interactive guides to where Social Justice Warriors™ and Snowflakes™ can be discovered, but here too there is a catch: some of the characters appearing as guides are actually MAGAlodons™ — named after an extinct species of giant sharks — that will attempt to lure the player into tagging individuals who are not Social Justice Warriors™ and/or into tagging an already tagged Snowflake™, either action of which will cost the player fifteen (15) points, as explained above.

    The challenge starts on the 1st of May 2023 and runs until the 31st of December 2023. On the 31st of January 2024, the three highest-ranking and ten lowest-ranking players will be officially notified via email by a registered member of the US Democratic National Committee.


    • The highest-ranking of the three winners shall obtain the indisputable legal right to freely drive around in one of Volodomir Zelenskyy's new Leopard tanks — albeit while respecting all locally applicable speed limits and other traffic regulations, of course — for the duration of one year. All fuel expenses for the Leopard tank shall be paid for by the citizens of the European Union.

    • The two remaining runner-up winners will be given a chance to partake in — and film with their smartphones (in portrait mode!), so that they can upload it to their favorite social media accounts — the next sabotage of an international gas pipeline by an unnamed NATO member state, as well as an exquisite dinner at the best vegan restaurant in Taiwan under a fully protective armed escort from the US Secret Service.

    • All three winners also get an autographed and framed A3-sized full-color photo of Joe Biden in an antiqued birdseye maple frame, and a lifetime free pass to attend all meetings of the US Trilateral Commission as a spectator.


    The ten worst-scoring players will also be rewarded, albeit with a free lifetime membership at Project MAGAlon™ — with a handwritten pledge from El Sombrero™ himself that these members shall not be banned for at least five years, regardless of their online behavior — as well as a high-quality all-weather MAGA hat and an autographed and stainless-steel-framed A2-sized color photo of Donald Trump in full Orange Jesus™ makeup, and with his baldness tastefully combed over by the skillful hands of Stormy Daniels Melania Krauss-Trump.


    The game is called Wokemon Go ®, and will be freely downloadable under the terms and conditions specified by the Creative Commons License.

    I am enjoying content from India and their perspective,

    This short video represents them well through a well spoken former ambassador to Sudan. This refers to the current events happening there.

    His less formal attire in the video befits him better, IMO.

    This video turned out to be a wilder ride than I expected.

    Gaming and role playing as part of deciding war strategies. I found it chilling to watch "decision makers" at work.

    Shocking, and the arrogance is absolutely disgusting.

    I guess the positive takeaway is that at least they're coming out of their closets about it now. This means that they're pretty sure of their game — pardon the pun — but also that they're setting themselves up for the fail of the century, because this is not going to go down as they're planning. The Chinese also have satellite TV.
