#however if that can't happen it is enough to make it factually true

Still thinking about NHS and I really do think big chunk of what's going wrt his vengeance yearnings is that he needs/wants Jin Guangyao to regret it. It's important to him that it wasn't worth it, that Jin Guangyao would have been better off doing literally anything else.

As has already been reported elsewhere, Penders recently took to his personal blog to announce a major milestone...

The first Lara-Su Chronicles book (which is mostly a Mobius: 25 Years Later collection) is real. The proof copy has been manufactured. These will be in peoples' hands in a matter of months.

We've already seen the godawful cover art plenty of times before, but I'd like to highlight how bad the back cover blurb is here. It's mostly background info with very little about the actual story. "Some characters would be married with families of their own. Others walked different paths. The fate of a world would be determined." That's all it says about what happens in the comic! The rest is inside baseball stuff. Not exactly a great hook.

However, I feel like this weirdness may be because Ken had to very carefully design the front and back cover so that it isn't selling itself as a new Sonic book. As we've discussed before, Ken regained ownership of all the stories he wrote for Archie Sonic after the settlement with Archie, as well as all the characters he created for the series. He's allowed to do whatever he wants with his old work and his own characters, but he's forbidden from selling new Sonic-branded products. They have to be distinct at a glance. Per the settlement, Sega needed to make sure Ken's future works didn't "have a look or feel as though they were part of a Sonic universe." This is one of the reasons why the cast has been redesigned in a new (bad) art style for The Lara-Su Chronicles.

So while the old comics reprinted inside the book still contain Sonic characters, since Ken can still use that existing material that was forfeited to him in the settlement, you'll notice that nowhere on the new front or back cover does Ken show a character owned by Sega. The only characters shown using their appearances from the original comics are Julie-Su and Lara-Su, who Ken owns. Knuckles has been replaced with his TLSC equivalent, K'Nox, who's probably juuuuuust different enough to be considered a legally distinct character. In the blurb, Ken can mention that he wrote the original stories for Sonic and Knuckles-branded comics, because that's just a factually true statement, but he can't advertise that the book he's selling contains Sega-owned characters like Sonic, Knuckles, or even Sally. They're just... "some characters."

I remain fascinated by the weird needle Penders has to thread here due to the very specific copyright situation he's found himself in.

Dominant Blade and Fist is a perfect event to me but i understand how it can feel confusing and regressive(?) if you haven't kept up with the Akatsuki stories, and it probably would've benefited from a chapter where Souma and Keito do the stuff they talk about in the end.

A really, unfortunately common sentiment is that Souma and Kuro are being held back/used by Keito, and that Keito becoming involved is a negative, because he can get overprotective and controlling, but it's never been as simple as that. Never trust the enstars unreliable narrator, especially Kuro Kiryu, in this particular story.

The thing about Kuro Kiryu, is that he... Self-harms in a way. When he feels hopeless and depressed, he digs a deeper hole to die in. He becomes sacrificial, resentful and pessimistic.

The vibes are so rancid that they replicate the ones that the audience in Kanatas execution.

Kuro is absolutely right when he monologues about his dependency on Keito. It's true that to an extent, they've still been letting Keito do the heavy lifting in terms of unit proposals.

However, the one time he tries to help out, his outfits end up becoming the critical weakness.

He's not good enough, Akatsuki isn't good enough. This is like. Factual. They cannot compete with full on traditional performers, and traditional idols. They're starting at the bottom.

Unfortunately, this is a lot for Kuro, who gets stuck in his own head, to bear. He immediately sticks himself in an extreme line of thinking. That his dependence on Keito is a complete weakness and flaw,

And once again, while this is true to an extent, it isn't to the extremes that Kuro is seeing it.

And well, He avoids Keito because Keito would tell him as much. (Unfortunately, Hasumi is right again lol. You can't take on the burdens of the world on your own, Kiryu!)

Instead, Kuro turns to Souma, another person that Keito 'protects'. He asks Souma, isn't it unfair that Hasumi does all the thinking?

And... Souma is inclined to agree! I mean, he's being left out of the unit conflict and proposals.

However, one thing about Souma

He LOVES akatsuki. He loves when all three of them perform, side by side. And he recognizes, when Kuro relays his plan, that Kuro is self-destructing.

I mean, if it wasn't obvious that Kuro's plan is a form of self-deprecating it should be via the references to the Ryuuousen, and the fact that it's centered on making a power grab, regressing to their old platform at Yumenosaki.

He's going to villainize himself, take all the blame, so that Akatsuki can regain their 'power'. And they'll do it WITHOUT Keito, to protect Keito, to prove themselves.

But... Souma can't let that happen. Because it would mean the end of the Akatsuki he loves.

So he fights to protect Akatsuki, for three whole days, he does nothing but dodge and take hits, not even fighting back, until Kuro is exhausted.

When he wins, he brings Keito back into the picture. And they still go through with Kuro's plan, but they do it together, with the goal of trying new things, using Yumenosaki as grounds for experiments, having fun.

And at the end of it, Kuro is able to come to terms with the fact that he's not 'perfect', and that he's going to make mistakes. But he won't stop fighting and let himself fall. He'll be reborn through his struggles.

And he wants Keito and Souma right there with him. To watch him grow into someone he can be proud of.

Because at the end of the day, they're barely adults. And it's not fair to expect them to be the Best. They have to become okay with the process of learning their ABCs.

And MOST IMPORTANTLY. That they're there for eachother, to rely on, to work together with. With Keito's help, they were able to rework the plan into something that allowed them more freedom than they agency ever granted. And Keito also held back and let them take charge.

Akatsuki is a three person unit! It's always been! It's a three person unit of three people that have shouldered so much responsibility, have had to mature so fast,

Learning their ABCs all over again, with eachother :) akatsuki iroha uta

I have some minor complaints about this

Firstly, the vast majority of the COVID deaths in the US were coming from people over the age of 60. And most of those, people in their 80s. And the obese. If you were old AND have pulmonary/respiratory problems, there's not really a whole lot that could be done to save you. That 3,000 deaths a day figure is misleading and uncharitable.

Secondly, the damage to infrastructure and personnel from targeted malicious explosions is worse and more intelligent and dynamic than dealing with a virus, and allowed to propagate on its own, Islamo-fascism does just that.

Thirdly, you can bomb mafioso estates and suddenly end targeted attacks and guerilla warfare for generations. As proof, I point to the fact there's no Nazi Germany anymore. You can't make viruses extinct so easily. Whatever ones feelings on Islamo-fundamentalist terror waging guerilla wars on southeast Asia and the rest of the Middle East, it is objectively true global jyhad was and still very much is a thing, and was not going away.

9/11 was not devastating solely because it killed a few thousand people and then the debris caused health issues. 9/11 was a problem because it was an organized terrorist attack against a structure that you aren't supposed to be big enough to antagonize like this without your entire culture and way of life vaporizing. It's one thing for a religious organization to sweep in and take over a sleepy little hamlet somewhere and subjugate the entire population to their religious authorities and organizational tyranny. It's another to do it to a society that has an organized military force and the right and means to turn your castle to glass and your very identity into a memory.

If it helps, imagine if an American megachurch decided to.. oh. I don't know.. carry out January 6th, but this time actually use weapons and actually had a ready made religious imperative and structure, rather than a flash mob, with the ACTUAL intent on taking over the country in their name of their god, culture and structure and social order. That's what the world was facing, at the time. A dirt poor initiative and will and determinism to impose their way of life and morals and the language of Islam on all that were not.

The US government can't do anything about people getting old, and has a very difficult time keeping them from getting obese if they're dead set on making themselves obese. It can, however, solve a problem of insurgency with a few well placed explosives and end ambitions of things like ISIS/ISIL from seizing and holding power for long.

People that have determined they want to kill you in an organized way because you won't carry their beliefs in your heart, subjugate your systems of government and supplant them with their own parallel governments based on their religious authorities, are a different enemy altogether from an illness you get by not social distancing and washing your hands. Which may or may not have been a targeted bio-terrorism weapon designed from the start to be a source of economic destruction. And just because you aren't seeing the deaths at home from Islamic religious terrorism quite the way it's happening across Asia and Africa, doesn't mean it isn't taking place and didn't deserve confronting.

Also that sneer towards oil companies; You know who consume petroleum products? People. You know who consume a lot of petroleum products? Sick people, old people. They need more things to continue existing. That means they need other people to provide those things. That means if there's a global pandemic, oil companies see to lose more in sales by loss of customers than they'd gain by whatever ventures they profitted from during Iraq and Afghanistan. This meme about how US oil companies just went in and slurped up or monopolized Iraqi oil is factually wrong. For some reason this meme about dirty capitalists and oil (which Soviet and then Russian chemical energy moguls seem to avoid stigma from, despite being the next biggest sources for these fuels) seems to suggest they're smart enough to take over and steal other peoples resources but somehow not intelligent enough to know pandemic deaths mean greater lost profits than the benefits of an illegal war. Suggesting mindless evil, solely by how much that doesn't make sense.

9/11 makes less sense if you think the tragic thing about it was just the thousands of people that died from the initial attack and ignore what the brazenness of running up to the biggest source of certain death and destruction for getting too uppity and tyrannical in the area and punching them in the face. That was a sign that absolutely no expense or pragmatic limit was considered by the Islamo-fascists. It meant they would not stop and were willing to carry out any kind of brutal inhumanity imaginable, regardless of whether they could be opposed and destroyed or not. That the enemy was not reasonable, and would not accept anything less than total victory at any acceptable loss.

Why I'll Never (Fully) Embrace My Culture

I will never (fully) embrace my culture. Never. People can call me a hardhead for this and/or say it isn't all like that…and you would be correct. However, when certain things happen in life, they shape you as a person or influence how you feel. Especially when it is trauma based. What I also want to say is that other ethnic backgrounds can have their own fair share of stubbornness. It isn't fair to just pick on Spanish culture. I understand all this. This is personal and how I feel. If you resonate with this and can apply it to another ethnic background, a person, a job, the usual things, you'd probably feel this way too. You should also consider parting ways with it.

From a young age it was always mostly seen but not heard. I'm also aware people had it way worse. I also however, always had this thought, children are seen but not heard. That sounds bad on paper, doesn't it? For me, it isn't about not being as fortunate as others. Everyone works on different incomes and my folks did well to keep up even when struggling. Thanks for the lessons. It's when what always seemed like a bad expression of how to treat a child started bleeding into bigger things. Work ethic must be a certain way. You have to dress a certain way. You have to ignore your emotions entirely and push forward. That's not normal. Claiming to have an open door policy on talking and then shutting down every concern or suggestion with the equivalent to hearing "it's gonna be okay" when they damn well know it isn't or may even be the cause of the problem is disingenuous. It doesn't leave a good feeling. It leaves you abandoned and unheard. It makes you feel like something is wrong with your mind. You get depressed or anxious. You get a tutor in place of the mental health benefits of a therapist. You're always on guard or don't know how to let someone in. If you get yelled at or have a meeting with an authority figure in a manner that feels like the principals office…well…you might even cry. Not because anything bad is actually going to happen, unless of course it does…which makes it worse. You get that reminder that what you did or said wasn't good enough and the explanation as to why comes down to non factual statements. This is how I did it so it is the only way. You must drive at this speed. You just threw up your food but you should have it anyway because it is good for you. What you did was good but it wasn't what we talked about so don't dare do that again. This kind of relationship gets toxic very quickly. Why am I being yelled at right now? I did exactly what you wanted. Chances are they wanted something else but didn't share it...but admitting to that would be admitting fault. Elders always know best, right?

There's a certain stubbornness to Spanish culture and I just can't get behind it. Maybe we don't need to find random objects to just beat the shit out of our kids with? Have we stopped to consider that? Probably not. Our parents did it to us, so we've gotta do it to our kids too, right? To make sure they are "raised right" in your eyes. Give me a damn break. Workplaces swearing you need to come into the office when you can damn well do that job from home. Micromanaging to make up for the lack of being able to actually manage anything and just want to make sure the team that may or may not be trained or trained very little makes you look good…but get mad at them if they don't do it to expectations as well.

As I say all this, maybe I should be more forgiving and take my own advice…but I'd be lying if I pretended that at least to some extent that this wasn't how I lived and in some ways was conditioned to. It's really just being closed minded in general. So maybe I should be nicer about it…unless this rang true for you and how you've treated your peers. In which case, stay the hell away from me. I've lived that life and the occasional person or workplace forces me to go back. I try my hardest to avoid it.

Newspaper article for a change! Lucy is up and about, minus one (1) immortal soul, plus an urge to drink the blood of several little children. Charming. I bet Renfield is dying from envy. So far, she hasn't killed any, but she lures or takes them away from their way home and nips a bit before letting them go. Clever of her to take very young children who can't give much detail beyond "there was a bloofer lady" (which I've read elsewhere means "beautiful lady", and I'll run with it). I think it's funny that they suspect a dog of biting the children, what with Dracula's doggo days... Not so funny is that Lucy is not all that concerned with how weakened she leaves the kids. Can't be long before she takes it too far.

Mina is meeting van Helsing. Beforehand, she tells her journal and us that she wants to learn more about Lucy's last days in this life, but also can't get Jonathan's journal out of her head and hopes some light can be shed on his experiences. What a neat concidence. Stoker, your characters are not clairvoyant. Then Mina allows us the tiniest look into her actual emotions - stress over all the shit that's been going down, nervousness over having let her still-not-all-that-well Jonathan out of sight for the first time since they married, grief for all her losses, confusion about the journal, guilt for feeling she hasn't done enough for Lucy and Mrs. Westenra - and has a good cry. God, don't I sympathize.

And... it was all about Jonathan after all. Well, at least Mina has a ton more words to feel sorry for him rather than for Lucy once her meeting with van Helsing is over. Not to speak of dedicating an entire paragraph to the latter's goddamn looks. Mina, I do know that a head is typically to find on the neck (and if not, it's probably Dracula's fault). And with the phrenology again. Anyway. Van Helsing asks for a full report on Lucy's somnambulism adventures; Mina takes the opportunity to brag about her shorthand, but once he's appropriately impressed, she tells him all that happened and they have lunch together. Van Helsing insta-crushes on Mina, can't blame him, and drops this queer-dreamy bit: "I [...] who have studied all my life men and women", so Ace Abe is officially Bi Abe now. He inquires about Jonathan, Mina pours her heart out, and Stoker gets in the obligatory sexism about how there are "still good women left who make life happy" (go suck on a blood blister, Stoker; I'd make you miserable on purpose!) and that Mina must take care of herself solely to keep Jonathan happy. I'm not having a good day to be graceful about this bullshit.

However, I'm here for Mina admitting to van Helsing that what she's about to tell him of Jonathan's misadventures is "queer". Heh, it sure is. I refuse to let go of this joke. Van Helsing gets the type-written copy of Jonathan's travel account, having promised Mina not to wave off all the weird stuff as foolishness. He asks Mina to see Jonathan on a date with him the other day after he has read through everything she has given him, and that very same evening, he sends her a brief note, confirming everything Jonathan has lived through as true. FINALLY! I think that's the first factual statement van Helsing made regarding this! Can we stop talking in "I have to be sure"s and vague speculations yet? He's also majorly impressed by Jonathan's sheer brainless balls on having survived Castle Dracula, having escaped from there, and having whacked the sleeping Count with a shovel. That's the type of guy who's immune to long-term PTSD! Trust van Helsing on that matter; the man's a doctor. Mina is relieved for half a minute that Jonathan is not hallucinating hardcore, then realizes the implications of Dracula being a goddamn reality just over in London. She invites van Helsing to drop by for breakfast as soon as Jonathan has come back next morning. I assume she wants to tether the polycule back together, now that the Lucy glue is missing.

I NEED MY ANTI-LARRIES, LARRIES, HARRIES, LOUIES, AND EVERY OTHER GROUP INVOLVED WITH THIS GOD FORSAKEN SHIP TO PLEASE GATHER AROUND UNDER A FLAG OF TRUCE!

I ASK YOU TO PLEASE TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO HEAR ME OUT, REMEMBER ASSUMPTIONS WILL BE KEPT OUT OF THIS DISCUSSION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!

So I'm sure you guys have looked at us Larry shippers like we are completely delusional. Even I have been blown away at the reaches some shippers will make. I can't really blame you for being skeptical, but I want you to understand why there is such a vast majority of us that doesn't think the idea of Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson secretly being in a relationship or have in the past is an all that crazy idea.

(Please take note I'm going to be as FACTUAL and as REALISTIC as possible using the GIVEN FACTS I already have.)

Why do you think Harry and Louis are together?

I'm keeping this portion extremely small as it can be annoying to look at, but I just want to show some weird things us fans have noticed between the two that caused all the research I'm about to show you. (THERE WON'T BE MORE THAN THREE LITTLE SNIPPETS I PROMISE, ALL THREE BEING COMPLETELY RESPECTFUL TO THE TWO OF THEM)!!!

Now this video does actually exist on the internet today (I'll leave a link) and it does arise some questions. It seems a little strange to answer yes to this question while looking completely serious, especially since the dating rumors were already in full blast at the time. All things considered, it really just doesn't make sense.

(X)

This tweet can definitely be explained. Louis could have gotten hacked that day. But the weird thing is, is that the tweet still exists on his Twitter account today and has picked up quite a bit of noise (being the 4th most retweeted tweet in history). Again, I'll leave a link so you can access it.

(X)

Harry deliberately turned his entire body to face Louis and sung a very romantic line, neither of them laughing or trying to make a joke of it. Some people claim they hear "I'm in love with Lou" and "All his little things" which is entirely based off of ear so I'll let you decide. Unexplainable at best. Link:

(X)

How realistic can a situation like this actually be?

The thought of two boys who are both gay/bi/other being put into the same band and just happen to want to be together is already a pretty crazy thought to have, now add the theory that their wealthy and incredibly professional management team wants to cover up any remnants of an ongoing relationship between the two of them who also happen to be in a worldwide successful music group entirely appealing to the female audience and the thought has basically become an unrealistic fantasy.

But it's happened before.

I'm sure you've heard of the Irish pop band Westlife, who also have very impressive record sales. 13 major releases, 11 of which are albums, over 1,000,000 subscribers on YouTube, have sold over 55 million records worldwide, and over 550,000,000 streams on Spotify. Their achievements range from Top Album Sales of the 2000s in the UK to holding the Guinness World Record for 'First to Achieve Seven Consecutive Number One singles in the UK'.

But the most important resemblance this band has to One Direction is that they were signed by Simon Cowell, and Louis Walsh became their manager. They were signed with a Sony BMG company, very similar to One Direction's.

Little known fact about one of the old Westlife members Mark Feehily who later left the band, is that he is gay. He got engaged to a male British Fashion Photographer without any public awareness. In fact, everyone seemed to believe he was straight, as he was 'dating' women at the time.

The band has come out and said that while being signed under Louis, they suffered mistreatment and relationship cover ups.

I would highly recommend reading the article, the band members talk a lot about being forced to keep a squeaky clean image for the ladies and they even warned One Direction that they had a storm coming being signed under Simon. (X)

I understand that Mark and his ex fiance's situation was different than Harry and Louis' but it proves that the entire corporation Simon Cowell and his team run is not afraid to cover things up if necessary.

So even if this conspiracy is true, how would Sony realistically cover something like this up?

For the record, you can't count on me to understand what goes on in celebrities lives' especially when it comes to image management. I tried my best to do as much research as possible and get reliable sources, but this is a tough one to answer.

One thing that's true is that Hollywood has been proven to use fake relationships to boost Public Relations and create drama within the celebrity gossip world. These are called 'PR stunts'. While there aren't many celebrities who have come out and told the public that the relationship they were in wasn't actually real, a Hollywood publicist Jack Ketsoyan has exposed PR stunting in all it's entirety:

Many fans have long suspected that relationships Louis and Harry have been in were actually just stunts to hide the fact the two of them were together, specifically Elounor (Louis and Eleanor Calder). While the reasons these fans believe this doesn't seem logical, they also directly correlate with what Jack says defines a PR stunt:

Link to the article: (X)

So PR stunting is nothing new in Hollywood apparently. Now if Larry Stylinson is true, this would be a really good way to cover it up.

Why would Harry and Louis agree to this?

Life is very different nowadays then it was ten years ago. Gay marriage in the United States wasn't even legal until after One Direction disbanded. Homophobia was still extremely rampant in 2010, it wouldn't have been a good idea to announce that two boys in an incredibly famous band were actually gay and with each other.

It wouldn't be just about record sales. The band had a reputation of being girl loving and constantly available. Statistics show that 80% of One Direction's fan base was female. This is not saying that every single fan was a teenage girl who lived and dreamed about being with a One Direction member, but it was enough of them to build a brand around.

Even now, actors and singer still shy away from coming out immediately. There are still a lot of people who don't support it, and that kind of hatred, especially to somebody young, can be detrimental to their mental health.

Conclusion:

This post was NOT made to make you a Larry shipper. This was post was also NOT made to start a debate in the comments or through reblogs on wether or not Harry and Louis have/had something more than friendship.

This post was however made by a TIRED Larry shipper who just wants you to know that we are not crazy, or delusional, or even stupid to believe that this situation can be entirely realistic based on the circumstances

If you've made it this far, let me know in the comments if I've changed your viewpoint on us shippers or if this post opened your eyes a little on the secret mistreatment of celebrities.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, you are an absolute legend! TPWK!

No Conspiracy Minded But Something Ain’t Right-Worth Reading 

*~5G NETWORK IS THE MAIN PROBLEM* *CREATED BY PROPONENTS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER (ANTICHRIST)* ● Revealed By A Former Executive Of Vodafone Telecommunications Company, Newbury England. This article may be long but it is a must read for those who wish to survive these evil days. What is really occurring with this Coronavirus? This is going to be difficult for people to accept. But let me tell you categorically, factually and scientifically, Coronavirus is not the problem. It is questionable whether it is even a contagious disease in the contest of a disease that is spreading from person to person. What we are seeing are symptoms of a virus. What we are not aware of is the what is causing those symptoms. This has nothing to do with biological warfare or any other kind of stuff you might be hearing about on the internet. Those are lies spread to distract us from the truth. What you see is the bodies of people reacting to what is known as radio spectrum radiation or radio frequency radiations. I know that sounds bizarre. But let me tell you scientifically what is happening and then I will tell you contextually why it is happening. I will also tell you what we can do about it. *Origin And Cause of Coronavirus* Globally, I was the head of the largest business unit at Vodafone Telecommunications Headquarters at Newbury England between 2013 - 2015. I was privy to a number of the new technologies that was coming in the pipe, that was going to be implemented. Namely, the internet of things and secondly, the 5G technology. I knew a long time ago that 5G was dangerous, but I didn't understand the corelation with the Coronavirus, which I now do. And I want to explain that to you. What is happening now is that there is a deliberate strategy to install the 5G Network,  which is the 5th generation internet radio spectrum frequencies that enables mobile phones, smart phones and all devices to function at much faster processing ability. And with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the internet of things where all devices will be connected, whether it is your car, phones, refridgerator, electricity, etc; your house is all going to be on the smart grid. This is effectively a type of matrix,  unfortunately. So what is happening is that this technology has to be rolled out globally. The company I use to work for and running their largest worldwide business unit is Vodafone. Vodafone are in partnership with Huawei a Chinese Telecommunications company. They have been rolling out  a systematic implementation of the 5G Network in multiple locations around the world. What is the relevance of this 5G frequency they are using? I also ran my own Telecommunications company that specialized in radio spectrum with this ability to take external signals from satellites into buildings. So that the frequency on the building and the power  you experience on your phone inside your house is the same as you experience outside the building. When mobile networks were created initially, they thought people would be using it only when they are on the road. That's why they were called mobile phones. But actually people use their mobile phones inside their houses, where the signals were not strong enough to penetrate the buildings. This is called radio spectrum. There are different megahertz frequencies and the 5G frequency is a very high frequency. Infact, it is just below the classification of a weapon. And I will tell you why. The 5G frequency is 10 times faster than the 4G. Unfortunately when the 5G comes into connection with the human body, it causes cell poisoning.  So our bodies try to fight the radiations that is in the form of cell poisoning caused by this 5G frequency radiation. As a result, our bodies excrete the toxins with some proteins, DNA and RNA from our cells in the form of a chemical which is called "virus". Most disease are also excretion from cells that we are trying to push out of our body and they will exit through the orifices of the body. Now what is happening is that the 5G frequency and power, which like I said is 10 times stronger than the 4G is reacting adversely with human cells in our bodies by poisoning them. And as a result our natural defence mechanism the human body  is pushing out that toxin which comes out in the form of a virus. So what you are seeing happening to people in most parts of the world is not any Coronavirus per se, but cell poisoning caused by 5G frequency, manifesting with fluids, chemicals and viruses that the body is trying to dispose off because it is harmful to it. So all these are occurring around the world  and I hear your mind thinking how could that be possible. I will explain. Like I said, all that is occurring in the world now is a reaction of human bodies to the electrification of the universe to the 5G satellites,  5G Towers and 5G Cells that have populated major cities around the world. This is what is causing the pandemic. The scam called Coronavirus is the largest global cover-up in history.  In actual fact, what the world is experiencing now is the impact on human beings caused by  technological advancement. So what is happening is not Coronavirus, but a virus produced by body cell poisoning which is really a measure of affected cells excreting toxins caused by exposure of the body to 5G ultra high frequency. This is what is killing people. I will give you some facts that will hopefully make you to understand what am trying to say here. *Why Did Coronavirus Start In Wuhan China?* One of the first cities Vodafone, Huawei  and some other telecoms companies installed some of the ubiquitous blanket technology is Wuhan China, where this so-called Coronavirus supposedly started in a fish market. That is complete nonsense. The truth is that it started as a result of the ultra high radioactive or radio frequency creating radiations that was toxic  to the human cells. That's why people were falling over and dying in the streets, etc. So they were trying to cover it up. And because it has a fluid type characteristic, they are using the fake story of a Coronavirus to try and hide the true fact that people are dying from the ultra high 5G frequency. Note that when installed, it takes over 6 months before the 5G frequency can start impacting on the human cells, and that is what happened in Wuhan. There are other major cities that also rolled out the 5G Network  last year. Obviously, Wuhan was the first city,  then Spain rolled out 5G, Italy also rolled out 5G, etc. Now we are seeing an uncommon level of deaths because of the high level 5G penetration in these countries. Italy has had more deaths than any other country because it is densely populated with 5G and the older generation doesn't have the strong immune system to fight it. So Italy has rolled it out, Spain has rolled it out, most major cities have rolled it out around the world. In countries,  London is one of the biggest CCTV centers and obviously they are in the process of rolling out 5G. What is the relevance of all these? The relevance is that the Coronavirus is not what is killing people now. It is clearly, categorically, unequivocally and scientifically proven that the radio frequency that these people are being exposed to is what is killing them. *Agenda Behind The Installation Of The Ultra High 5G Network Frequency* Why they are allowing all these people to die is because of their multiple agendas. Primarily because the 5G is the only network with the speed to handle the future and where we are going rapidly is a world run by Artificial Intelligence (AI), the internet of things where everything is interconnected on the internet. A new global currency is coming out, that is why I have been pushing for what I have been pushing for the last 5 years for Africa to create it's own system of currency, to combat what was coming. In addition, there will also be driverless cars and a number of different gadgets that basically need to run on 5G. All these are in line with what the Book of Daniel 12:4 said that in the last days, knowledge shall be increased. Do you know we are already in those last days? Based on this, they can't reverse the implementation of these technologies and they are happy to sacrifice millions of lives around the world to Satan in order to get them running. Just to prove the point further, the Cruise ships were installed with 5G and the people quarantined on those Cruise ship were getting sick because of the 5G. Some hospitals have 5G, major cities have 5G, airports have 5G, and these are places where people will automatically get sick if they are exposed to the  inordinate levels of radiation caused by 5G radio spectrum poisoning. *Origin Of The 3 Pandemics of The Last Century* We have had 3 Pandemics in the last 120 years. The first pandemic was in 1918 which was called the Spanish Flu Pandemic. However, that pandemic was caused as a result of their implementing radio waves globally and increasing electrification of our universe. Millions of people died 6 months later as a result of the pandemic the called Spanish Flu. A few years later and after World War 2, another pandemic broke out which was caused by the implementation of radar equipment. During that period also, global satelites where launched to what they call the Van Allen Belt in space. This is basically where they send satellites. When that was implemented, there were a number of deaths from a pandemic. The last major pandemic was in 1968 which was called the Hong Kong Flu. This also broke out when they rolled out another level of satellite penetration in the Van Allen Belt, where over 100,000 satellites were transmitting radar signals to radar fields in the cosmic field. These were satelites that were pushing telecommunications and radio communication. So we had radio waves first at the beginning of the century and then the implementation of radar equipment and telecommunications satelites. All these caused pandemics that killed multiple millions of people. The last one like I said was in 1968. So guess what is happening now. They have rolled out 5G and this is impacting on people's lives. Killing thousands around the world  and they are covering it up in the name of Coronavirus, like they did with previous pandemics. This is a fact. Please go and do your own research on this.  Study 5G and the implications of its implementation. And just to help you further, one of the countries,  which is a huge country that has millions of people with cold weather, which is Russia has had no fatalities in the area of the so-called Coronavirus, why? This is because they have not implemented  5G on a public use yet.  They have only implemented it for the exclusive use by the military, hence they have had no deaths. To prove the point further, you are seeing in the news now that people without underlying health issues or compromised immune systems are now falling sick and dying of Coronavirus.  That makes no sense. The reason they are dying is because of the 5G radiation which doesn't discriminate between  the old and young. Both succumb to the power of 5G radiation. This is the fact of what is really happening. This is part of their strategy because of the importance of 5G and this is a global phenomenon that can not be reversed.  So please understand that there is a lot more information I can give you. But please do your own research as there are alot of articles on the impact of 5G on the internet. *Coronavirus Is Not Contagious* However,  the true fact is that this Coronavirus is not contagious.  What they are doing is spreading it to people via the tests and supply of contaminated face masks etc. We are aware of news about millions of face masks supplied by China to most European countries which were recalled as they were found to be useless and possibly contaminated. Now it has been said that those masks have been redirected to African countries of which Nigeria is the major recipient. So when one goes for Coronavirus test, it gives them opportunity to get them  contaminated with the virus. This is because they want to cover up for the millions of people who die from the excessive radio frequency  radiation of 5G. It is certain that hundreds of millions of people will die as a result of the 5G implementation and the Coronavirus vaccines. However this is in fulfilment of the Book of Revelations 6:8 which prophesied  that this pandemic will wipe out one fourth  of the population of the earth. This includes people in cities exposed to the ultra high frequency 5G Network and those that will accept the contaminated Coronavirus vaccines. *Secret Purpose Of The 5G Network Frequency* So the question is, where is this going and why are they doing this? We now know the technological reasons behind the 5G. They need it for a robust, scalable, fast and capable internet that can handle the professing of information about all of your movement, journeys, banking transactions, identification,  CCTV camera monitoring of activities around the world, etc. They need visibility on what everyone is doing. But the primary reason is beyond that. What they are doing which  is luciferic and satanic, is that they are implementing 3 new strategies which are: 1) Vaccines   2) RFID chips   3) Global Digital Currency. *1) Vaccines* The vaccines contain toxins. One thing about vaccines is that they give your body some part of the virus. Also in that vaccine also contains chemicals that lights you up  effectively  to respond even more powerfully to the radioactive signals.  So it's a bit like chemotherapy or radiotherapy. What they inject in your system enables the cells of your body to be destroyed. The Coronavirus vaccine will consist of a substance that will enable the frequency of 5G to be more effective in causing more deaths. What you are witnessing around the world now is that they are buying time to build capacity for the hospitals, warehouse and all the places they are going to convert into huge morgues to house the millions of people that are about to die. But God has a plan. So you don't need to worry. God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love and of a sound mind. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. So please know that this is a weapon that is being formed, but it shall not prosper against God's people. I will tell you why. You may not be aware that humans  are electromagnetic beings. I know that sounds a bit weird. But we have electric circuits; our nervous system is really a complex network of wiring that our masterful Creator created us to have. So brain signals, nerve signals, information that travels down the body that tells you to move, sneeze, fight disease, etc are  created by electrical circuitry that is in our body. The electrical circuitry then creates chemistry or chemicals, different types of chemicals, that we react to when we eat and do different things. Human beings are predominantly made up of water and it is the physical mass of the body that houses everything. But ultimately, we are an electric circuit. We react to frequency, respond to vibrations and electromagnetic energy such as gamma rays, infrared rays, etc, which are visible. Other visible rays are ultra violet rays and the visible light. So that's one part. The other part is charged particles like electrons, protons, etc. I won't go into that now. But roundabout our universe, we are given a capacity by God to cope with these natural forces of energy running around the system. What is the relevance of this? These frequencies affect our sense of well-being.  How can we combat, because all of these emit frequencies; our heart, mind, etc all emit frequencies. So what we Christians refer to as anointing, fire of God, might, power, spirit, etc can all be scientifically proven by the  electrification of our beings that the regenerative atmosphere affect us. Whenever we gather for worship and prayers, there is a level of spiritual energy which we call the Holy Ghost which is a physical energy than can be felt. I won't dwell much on this for now. However, the game plan is to  create a new order. Unfortunately, we are now in the era of the New World Order which has commenced. This is why for the past 5 years I was pushing my economic model with presidents in Africa to give them an alternative digital currency  and economic model than can  sustain them; independent of the World Bank and the  New World Order controlled by the 1% of the 1% global elites. Now what are they doing? Already in the news today, there is announcement of the Coronavirus vaccines that will soon be made available. Like I said earlier, there will be three developments, the first is the vaccines, which will have catastrophic  impact on our physical being when exposed to the radioactive  radiation. Now  the second is the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Chip. *2) RFID Chip (Mark of the Beast)* The Coronavirus vaccines will come with a tracking device called a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Chip. It is a microchip that will be inserted  in the body at the same time with the vaccines. They are not even being subtle about it, but are making it plain as Bill Gates is proposing. This chip will give them the opportunity to track and know who has taken the vaccines and who has not. So they know who is "safe" and who is not, who can be given license to travel and to do things on the basis that they are no longer a threat to humanity. Based on this spurious ostensible notion of the Coronavirus, which is a complete fallacy and doesn't exist in the context of what is actually killing people. They are using it as a means to justify where they are going. However,  this chip is also a fulfilment  of a Bible prophecy. According to the Book of Revelations 13:16-18, this chip is the Mark of the Beast which shall be implanted on the right hand or forehead. So that those who refuse to accept it shall not be permitted to travel, work or engage in any economic activity (buying and selling). To further prove this, the Bible says that the Mark, name and number of the Beast which is 666, is the number of a man. The person after whom this virus is named after is known as Saint Corona,  who is considered by the Roman Catholic Church  as patron saint of plagues. Now if you calculate the numerical value of his name, according to the order of the English alphabet, you will arrive at 666: *C=3, O=15, R=18, O=15, N=14, A=1 =66* Then the name Corona has 6 letters. Add it to the 66 above and you will arrive at 666, confirming what the Bible said. This is why everyone must reject the Coronavirus vaccines and the RFID Chip which is the Mark of the Beast. For according to the Book of Revelations 14:9-11, anyone who recieves the Mark of the Beast is doomed forever, as they will not enter the Kingdom of God. *3) Global Digital Currency* The introduction of a global digital currency is their third agenda. It will start with the USA and then spread to the rest of the world. This is why I developed my own Blogg Chain Platform which is my own digital currency. This will help Africa create it's own independent and strong digital currency that can compete with the digital currency of the Antichrist New World Order in the financial market. This is what we have been doing behind the scenes in the past for the Kingdom of God. Nevertheless, this has hailed a new era of the Mark of the Beast. It is real, it is here with us now! They are expediting action rapidly on it because they realise that there is a level of esoteric enlightenment going through the earth. There is also a level of technology that can fastrack other people's agenda which may be contrary to theirs. And they would want to shut it down before they come up. So what they are doing systematically, systemicly and simultaneously is that with the lockdown, they are now shutting down the global economy because they want to introduce 2 things: *i) Monopoly/Oligopoly* By creating monopolies in the global market they will select 4 or 5 key multinational companies; Amazon will be the first, then Google is obviously one, there will be others too. These companies will manage the supply chain of everything that we purchase. So every transaction is going to be streamlined, from food to electronics, to flow of money, etc. And only those that have the RFID Chip  (Mark of the Beast) can be allowed to use this system. The rest may be allowed to starve to death, killed or imprisoned for refusing to accept the Coronavirus vaccines and the RFID Chip implant. *ii) Creation of Unemployment* The second thing they are doing within the system is that they have shut down the global economy. By so doing they want to make as many people as possible unemployed so they can be forced to accept the new system in order to regain employment. So please do not believe these measures they are talking about payments to help the unemployed. It's not going to happen. Right now the world is heading to the largest global recession in history, just as prophesied  in the Book of Revelations 6:8. All these will happen because they are changing the game. So what they are bringing in now is a new system. The new blogg chain global digital currency which no one will have access to unless they prove they are no longer a harm to humanity by accepting the Coronavirus vaccines, which will be mandatory because they will force people to have it. Also they will insist that one has to take the RFID Chip (Mark of the Beast) which is a part of the same simultaneous process. Another reason why they are shutting down the global economy is because they want to take back the control of the economy from entrepreneurs and businessmen, etc. They want to completely disrupt the fabric of society viz a viz education, employment, religion, politics, etc. Everything will be completely different in a matter of months, not even years. So this is their strategy to ultimately control in terms of visibility such as Wifi, internet and all that gives them access to internet of things and the control of money. If you control money,  you control power. And it is their agenda to also control the world population. *Bill Gates The Antichrist?* Bill Gates has resigned from his position as Chairman of Microsoft and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He is now vigorously pushing the Coronavirus vaccines agenda. He has developed technology in that direction. He is also responsible for alot of what is going on presently. So please for those who held him as an innovator, know that he is innovating for the demise of humanity. Vaccines have always been a danger to humanity because they contain pathogens harmful to the human body. Please take note that the Book of Revelations 13:16-18 identifies the Antichrist as the man that will spearhead the implanting of the Mark of the Beast (RFID Chip) on human beings. Bill Gates is the chief proponent of implanting the chip on human beings, so is Bill Gates the long awaited Antichrist? *Way Out* What does the Body of Christ need to do now? What do we do? First, we must repent from our evil ways and change our worldly  gods like money (mammon) back to the living God. This is the time for the Kingdom remnant, who have been prepared for this time, to come together. We need to unite as Christians. This is the time the people who were not feeding into the church normal restrictions, who have got all these assignments and mandate beyond the church, will be repositioned. This the defining moment for the Kingdom of God to rectify the things that are going wrong in the Body of Christ. Very soon you will see a collaboration around the world as people will come together to combine their resources and collaborate to make a positive  change; by creating alternative platforms/systems. I have been working on this for 5 years and there are a number of people around the world who are doing the same. Secondly, you will see a change of the entire world religious system. One of the reasons why there has been a ubiquitous shut down of worship, prayer and congregation of religious organisations is because they are making way spiritually for the Antichrist. When we pray and worship corporately, we create a frequency, a vibration, a move of God that disrupts their satanic agenda. So they have shut down worship and prayer gatherings to pave way for the Antichrist to come to the fore. Otherwise he would have been restricted by the universal concert of prayers and worship of God's people. This is what the Bible is saying in 2 Thessalonians  2: 6-8 that as soon as the corporate prayers and worship of the Body of Christ is removed, the Man of Sin (Antichrist) shall be revealed. And this scripture is being fulfilled now. So what is happening now is deliberate. It is not because of  the Coronavirus contagion that we can't congregate, but because they have to systematically dismantle for the first time in human history the corporate gathering of the religious people to pray and worship. This is because their prayers and worship  changes the spiritual atmosphere so they can't have power to achieve their aim if that continues. I wouldn't doubt if there are sacrifices going on behind the scenes as well to empower them for this move. However it is clear that all the people dying now from the 5G induced Coronavirus pandemic are also being sacrificed for this purpose. They are moving very fast and within a matter of weeks we are going to be shocked by the revelation and implementation of these things. The vaccines will come in a matter of months if not days. The new global digital currency will follow suit. The whole new economic system, which I have created one that I am going to implement as a strategy to counter what they have, will also emerge. I have been prophesying this for 15 years that the Kingdom of God needs it's own economic system. We have been working on the blueprint of God to advance His Kingdom, to save souls and to preserve posterity. In conclusion,  the best thing we can do now is to raise our own frequency by living a clean life in righteousness and removing anything from our bodies that affect the flow of God's Spirit upon our lives. The only counter we have is prayer and worship which creates it's own forcefield of frequency. Heaven's frequency will protect you to a large degree, as God is working on His own strategy He is going to implement to save us.

Submitted December 02, 2020 at 03:02PM by eldrad17 (Via reddit https://ift.tt/3myQVxb) Had a bit of time free, so decided to answer "48 questions Atheists can't answer". Where I can I name the logical fallacy they use in the question. For 'unanswerable questions' they were surprisingly answerable. Good exercise to clarify your position, even if only to yourself.

48 Questions Atheists can’t answer (answered)

I'll be honest, these questions weren't really well thought out. If I didn't get these directly from the website below I'd imagine someone was deliberately strawmanning their own arguments for some reason. I recommend having a go yourself, though, it helps to organise your thoughts on the matter! By the time I finished I figured I'd put it on here.

https://creationsciencestudy.wordpress.com/2014/06/10/clever-questions-atheists-cant-answer/

I feel I should mention there were certain questions which I felt I should avoid (specifically regarding race, rape and Hitler) but I got the sense the writers were trying to put people off of answering them, and I had set out to answer the 'unanswerable'.

1. If creationists can’t do science, then why do Kent Hovind and Duane T. Gish, who are creation scientists, have professional degrees in science?

A: This appears to be an ambiguity fallacy- Science is a broad term that covers many subjects and can be misused in certain circumstances as I think has been done in your question. If ‘creation’ science can be backed up by peer reviewed scientific journals that can be verified by other scientists around the world then yes that would make it a solid science. If Kent Hovind and Duane T. Gish have any such papers that have been peer reviewed I would be very interested to read them and check their claims. As it stands this has yet to be done.

‘Dr’ Kent Hovind in particular got his degrees from unaccredited institutions. He just added Doctor to his name so people will believe his claims which happens more than you think. I personally know someone who got his doctorate in writing a few years ago- doesn’t make him a scientist. I could go into Kent’s tax evasion here but I’d rather stick to the facts rather than commit a ‘Tu quoque’ fallacy.

2. If dinosaurs turned into birds, why are we not afraid of them?

A: Because birds aren’t a threat, we had millions of years to figure that out once the dinosaurs weren’t around. It would hardly make sense for a species to evolve and develop a fear of a predator that didn’t prey on them.

3. If homosexuality is right, then how come two people of the same sex not produce a child?

A: You’re assuming there is a morality position to take on this. Whilst I have heard there may be some evolutionary benefit to homosexuality I myself am not aware of it. Live and let live.

4. What purpose do we have if evolution is real?

A: Again you are making an assumption- this time that we have a purpose. As an (optimistic) nihilist I see no reason to think that life and the universe has any purpose. I determine the purpose of my own life.

5. You say Jesus never existed, but have you heard of the Shroud of Turin?

A: I never said Jesus didn’t exist. As for the shroud- It’s a sheet that looks like a face. I can make one at home! Jokes aside, if you can prove that it is in fact the face of Jesus and not someone else via genetic science or some other means that can accurately verify it (peer reviewed scientific journals again I’m afraid) then I will admit that Jesus did factually exist. You then have the problem of proving that he was the son of God and performed miracles as you say he did via the same means. Good luck with that.

6. Why do we not see humans being born in the zoos from monkeys if we came from monkeys?

A: The personal incredulity fallacy- because you don’t understand how something works ergo it must not be true. This demonstrates how little effort you have put into researching evolution. Monkeys can’t give birth to humans and vice versa- we descend from a common ancestor. For the final time (please!) Monkeys, Chimps, Gorillas and Humans all descended from a common ancestor millions of years ago- Apes!

7. Why do we go to church if God is not real?

A: The bandwagon fallacy- because most people think a certain way or believes something it must then be true. The most common way to explain this fallacy is pointing out that a popular opinion at one time was that the Earth was flat. Didn’t make our ancestors right back then just as I’m certain there are many things we all assume to be true that will one day be proven otherwise. It’s called progress.

Everyone likes to be reassured in what they believe, hanging out with like-minded people is a good way to do that and people are welcome to do so whether that’s at a Church, Mosque or even a pub. Personally I think it’s a waste of a good Sunday morning.

8. How did the Grand Canyon form?

A: Over millions of years due to the same naturalistic processes we can measure and observe around the world. There are many peer reviewed scientific journals that back this up.

9. Do you know that Jesus loves you?

A: Fallacy- an appeal to emotion. Trying to prove your point by ignoring the facts and attempting to win me over by making me feel good. That isn’t going to work with someone like me who doesn’t equate Jesus with love. Zombies and vampires love me too, apparently, but I’m hardly going to run over to them and make friends!

There are a lot of claims made about Jesus that require solid evidence for me to change my mind as to whether he actually existed, had a beard, was white, was male, told stories, performed miracles, whether he was the son of God and if so that there is a God. Start at the beginning and keep proving it through the scientific method (peer reviewed journals, remember) and I’ll convert. Simple.

10. If Christianity is false, then why is it popular?

A: Again, Bandwagon fallacy. Just because an idea is popular doesn’t make it true. If that were the case you might want to convert to Islam pronto as they’re soon going to take over the number of Christians!

11. If you say Christianity is not true, then why do hundreds of people continue to become saved every day?

A: Bandwagon. Belief is a fluid thing, it is different every day for every person. In the UK where I am from secularism is on the rise. Islam is apparently (so I read) on the rise in China. The demographics are changing constantly.

12. Why do we not see half trees and half carrots, fronkeys, and crocoducks if evolution is real?

A: Personal Incredulity again. Cross speciation is impossible due to genetics. Any one of those things may have evolved into existence if the right conditions for it arose.

13. Why is Richard Dawkins afraid to debate Ray Comfort?

A: He has better things to do. Such a high-profile debate would only afford legitimacy to the creationist view which he feels (and I agree) it does not deserve. Better to ask why an (actual) scientist does not take creationism seriously enough to bother debating it.

Saying this I have noticed a trend in secular/ theist debates where the Atheist side will debate the Bible/ Qur’an/ belief and its fallacies whilst the Theist side will try their best to argue the science. As interesting as it can be to watch it would be interesting to see a Theist try to debate the legitimacy of their claims rather than attack science in general.

14. Did you know Christopher Hitchens was saved before death?

A: Fallacy: appeal to emotion. I am pretty sure this was thrown in here to make me angry and make me say something you might use to trip me up. Christopher Hitchens was one of the finest minds of our time. I am sure his work will last the ages. As for being ‘saved’- again, evidence.

15. Are you aware Ray Comfort disproved atheism with a banana?

A: That depends on your definition of ‘proved’. I am going to say this is a combination of an ambiguation fallacy (‘proved’) and an appeal to authority (which would also go for other creationists brought up in these questions, like Kent Hovind).

First off, you and I need to be specific about what the term ‘proved’ means. For me it would mean that scientists around the world studied the evidence of his claim and by a majority came to the same conclusion. That would be some serious headline news.

Secondly, an appeal to authority is usually a good thing in debate as it allows the opinion of experts to weigh in on it. However, you really need be careful and study the level of authority a person has in their field. Ray Comfort is, in mine and I’m sure many people’s opinion, not an authority on Evolution, Biology, Geology, etc. etc. In fact, I’d go so far as to say he isn’t much of an authority on theology if he uses a banana!

Lastly, I hope you and Ray Comfort are aware that bananas were specifically made the way they are today by humans through selective breeding? That became a sort of (not so) natural selection. Google it.

16. Why do people laugh at evolutionists?

A: I was not aware they do. I assume for the same reason that 98% of scientists (including leading biologists, geologists, astrologists, cosmologists, historians, etc. etc.) do not take creationism seriously, which opens it to ridicule around the world.

17. How did the planets form when the Big Bang explosion all of a sudden happen? After all, you don’t see round objects form when something blows up.

A: There is a lot of misunderstanding in that question. (Personal Incredulity fallacy.) The planets formed long after the Big Bang. The early universe was filled with formless atoms that gradually started clumping together and, through a steady process of quantum mechanics and then gravitational pull started forming astral bodies, eventually forming the ones we see today.

I can’t help but add in a Tu Quoque here (yes, I know, but I think it’s relevant.) How did the human race come into existence when at one point (according to Genesis) the only people on Earth were Cain, his mum Eve, his dad Adam and his brother’s corpse? Who did he mate with to conceive the next generation whilst avoiding long lasting genetic problems in humans? Remember, according to your book they were the only people in existence.

18. If evolution is real, how can it explain gravity, angular momentum, human emotions, and why we worship God?

A: Evolution doesn’t concern itself with any of those. It simply focusses on the development of life over time. It doesn’t affect gravity, which has its own theory (The theory of gravity), or angular momentum (pretty sure that’s mathematics and physics). Human emotions are the domain of psychology but it’s easy to see how our survival as a species would depend on how we treated each other as a group, so emotions and a common focal point (religion) would have contributed to that.

God is more the domain of Theology which in itself can be said to have evolved over time- Judaism used to be a polytheism until someone decided that one God must be better than all the other (Jehovah) and eventually all the other gods were just forgotten. If ancient Greece, early Rome or the Vikings got here instead, we’d be worshipping Zeus, Jupiter or Odin instead of God (all four of them do look very similar when you think about it)

19. How did pond scum make living things appear out of nowhere?

A: Personal Incredulity fallacy. Honestly, we do not know yet. Science is still working on that. That doesn’t remove the legitimacy of Abiogenesis (or even Panspermia for that matter) - it isn’t too far a stretch of the imagination once you understand that we are essentially made up of things common to this planet- we are 80% water, carbon-based, with elements of iron, calcium, and various other squares on the periodic table of elements which can be found, inorganically, across the planet. The only two things that make us and this planet unique (as far as we can tell right now) is Protein and Chlorophyll, once we’ve figured that out we’ll have a better idea of how life began to form here.

20. How can evolution be true if we don’t see pocket watches or airplanes form by themselves?

A: Personal Incredulity (again). How can God be true if planes or pocket watches don’t appear magically after 7 days with zero human input? Planes and pocket watches are inorganic and were made specifically by humans with a purpose in mind. To assume the same with the universe and all life is demonstrating a narrow view of the subject.

21. Did you know that dinosaurs and man lived together?

A: Citation. You’re making a claim and need to provide evidence to back it up. Show me one example of dinosaur fossils being found in the same sediment as human fossils and I will genuinely start to question what I have been taught. So far, I haven’t seen a single one.

22. If evolution is real, then why do caring people like Rick Santorum argue that it must be challenged in the classroom?

A: I’m going to label this question as another appeal to authority/ emotion case. Just because something ‘feels’ right or good doesn’t make it true. Drugs feel good but I don’t take what a drug user says as gospel. People can still be caring but mistaken.

However in this case I do agree it needs to be challenged on every level. It is only when a theory is challenged we can see the strength of it. The theory of evolution has only lasted as long as it has because it has withstood scrutiny from the finest scientific minds over the last 150 years. It has changed with new evidence in that time but nonetheless still remains the best explanation we have for how life has arrived at this point today.

I am an atheist because I put both the anthropomorphic God and the Bible under scrutiny and I didn’t even need my scientific knowledge to see the various problems with them. God and creationism form at best a poor hypothesis.

Before leaving this point I would also like to add the notion of a black-or-white fallacy. It’s being implied throughout these questions that the only two options are either evolution or creationism, which isn’t necessarily the case. By implying that these are the only two options you are trying to add legitimacy to creationism by ignoring any other options that may exist. I still maintain that evolution is the best explanation for how life came to be the way it is today, but why are you ignoring all of the other creation stories in the world? Hinduism, Buddhism and various other faiths have their own claims, what makes them any less legitimate than creationism?

23. Why are youtube atheists like AronRa and Thunderf00t afraid to debate Ray Comfort?

A: This is the same question as the Richard Dawkins one. However I am familiar with Thunderf00t and AronRa and can tell you there are plenty of youtube videos that put their point across. They probably feel they don’t need to debate creationists anymore until their original videos are satisfactorily debunked.

24. Why do we celebrate Christmas if Christianity is not real?

A: I’m going to tentatively label this as a No True Scotsman fallacy. Saying that only Christians should celebrate Christmas is inappropriately glossing over all the people who celebrate Christmas who aren’t Christian.

Christmas was originally a pagan holiday celebrating the winter solstice. It’s in no way solely for Christians. It makes for very interesting reading if you want to look it up. Anyone can get behind the idea of people coming in from the cold and sharing a meal with their family, religious or otherwise. Easter was also about sex and fertility (the rabbit and the eggs anyone?) where I come from its only the religious who try to make it about them.

25. If creationists can’t do science, then why does the website Answersingenesis have proven science articles from creationists that do science?

A: Ambivalence Fallacy (again). Again, science is a very broad term covering many different areas and the term ‘proven’ is very ambiguous. If you said peer reviewed scientific journals from established experts in the fields of Biology and Geology instead, I’d pay more attention. But since we both know that isn’t the case here I’ll accept that the computer science/ theology majors that usually add the ‘Dr’ part to the names of the authors who write these articles make what you say in this question ‘technically’ true (except the ‘proven’ part). In this case it is a question of authority. I choose to listen to the experts of the fields required (biology, physics, etc.) instead of the people with a ‘Christian Science’ degree, especially since its biased groups like answersingenesis who usually hand out those degrees anyway.

26. If evolution is true, then why can’t white people compete to be good in basketball like black people? After all, white people can’t jump!

A: Personal Incredulity. I would also add the begging the question fallacy and possibly red herring to this as well. You’re trying to frame the question in such a way that the answer you want is in the question- and moving the argument in a direction that doesn’t add to the conversation but instead to a place where you think I won’t come out well. Also, I’m fairly certain there’s exceptions to this rule- I’m pretty sure there’s some good white basketball players out there. I come from the UK where basketball isn’t such a big deal so I have no background knowledge on this, so I could be wrong.

However, saying this, it isn't ridiculous to imagine that any general variations between races may be due to different environments that favoured different traits (Africa is different to Europe, Asia to America, etc.) I am no expert in this, so I won't comment further.

27. Where do you decide to fit God in your everyday life if you don’t believe in him?

A: Begging the question/ Burden of Proof. You’re assuming your position is the natural stance to take and putting me in a place where I have to justify my stance. Here it is anyway- I place God in the same place I fit Santa, the Tooth fairy, Leprechauns, Unicorns, etc. etc.

28. Why is Christianity the fastest growing religion if it’s false?

A: Citation. Last I heard it was Islam and non-belief that were rising. Even if Christianity were rising it doesn’t change the fact of whether it is true or not. A billion people could believe the Earth was square but I would still call them wrong.

29. Do you feel free to commit murders, homosexuality, go to strip bars, steal, commit adultery, and do other sins since you believe there is no God?

A: I will throw my hands up here and say that this is actually a good question to ask an Atheist. I did have to think about this one so well done on that. There’s nothing wrong in admitting your debating opponent has made a good point or asked a good question.

Whilst I do not believe in any moral absolutes in the universe I do believe in the Golden Rule: Do unto other as you would have them do unto you. It’s simply the best way to function in a society, hence why I don’t care about what people do in the bedroom or do with their bodies- it’s their choice so long as they leave me to make my own.

However if extreme circumstances dictated it necessary (i.e. my own survival) I can’t say I would be able to keep to that rule, but that’s only in extreme circumstances, and I would dare anyone to admit otherwise to that.

30. Why do the fossils say no to evolution?

A: Citation to your claim. Fossils don’t say anything. They’re rocks. If you are hearing rocks talking I suggest you seek help. OK in all seriousness show me the evidence (remember, from peer reviewed scientific journals from unbiased geologists across the globe) and I would start to question what I know. Simply asserting that fossils say no to evolution doesn’t make it so.

31. Why did Darwin admit that how the eye formed is impossible?

A: Again, Citation to your claim. I’d certainly be interested in knowing if this was true. Even if it was though it is true that Darwin had a lot of issues with his theory. He spent the rest of his life working on it.

When a Theory is first made it rarely remains the same in the face of new evidence. Over 150 years it has been fine-tuned with new evidence so that the current model fits best with what we know. One solid piece of evidence to counter evolution would throw the whole thing into question. Darwin wouldn’t recognise the theory of evolution today.

We have since been able to explain the eye and have even found species that still have remnants of an eye in early evolutionary forms as well as species that have evolved to not need eyes as much as they used to. We have seen how the eye can change over time.

32. Where did everything come from if there is no God?

A: The God of the Gaps argument. ‘We don’t know the answer, so God.’ In short, we don’t know either, just like you. Current science can only take us back to a moment after the big bang. There are a lot of ideas floating around at this stage and I for one look forward to what we find next.

I’m personally drawn to the ‘Big Cheese’, ‘Multiverse’ and 'One Electron Universe' theories which sound promising as well as exciting. None of this requires that a supreme intelligent being started it all- and even if it did, it would then beg the question of where that supreme intelligent being came from.

33. If there is no God, then why do we have laws that govern us, such as speed limits?

A: Because society had to function. I don’t look at society as something formed around the collective worship of deity but rather as a collective agreement that this is the best way for us to get along, rather than hitting each other with clubs.

I’m curious about this now, thought: what is the Bibles stance on speed limits?

34. Do you know where you are going when you die?

A: Another good question to ask! These types of questions are genuinely making me think about my stance and if you want to convert me someday then that is what you need to do.

I personally want to be cremated and placed in a biodegradable urn with a tree seed that could feed off the nutrients in my ashes. That way I could help towards keeping the planet clean and not just be some boring old gravestone. Those are creepy. I’d probably visit passed loved ones more if graveyards were vibrant forests rather than morbid tombstones everywhere.

As for the next life I don’t know and frankly I’m not too concerned- I’m in the same boat as every living thing that has ever existed, currently exists and will ever exist. Not existing isn’t something to be scared of- it didn’t bother me before I was born!

Having said that, however, if I were brought before God (if!) for judgement when I die, then it would depend. If I were judged by the quality of my actions and words in life, then God would be just and I should have nothing to fear (the golden rule, remember?)

If, however, I am to be judged based on how many times I exclaimed I loved God, attended church and never questioned dogma, then that is an unjust God who isn’t worth worshipping and I will happily walk into hell with the moral high ground.

If there is no God, then I will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of my loved ones.

I thank Marcus Aurelius for this observation.

35. Why do we not act like monkeys if it is true we came from monkeys?

A: Personal incredulity (Again!) I’m guessing these questions were written by different people because I’m genuinely impressed by some and slapping my head with the others. This is the latter.

Who says we don’t act like monkeys? I love climbing trees and eating bananas! I’m glad of my social circle and I groom a lot (well, as much as a bald man can!)

This question seems to imply that man is somehow superior to monkeys, but I think the implication is backwards- Theism and Creationism seem determined to prove that the universe is governed by an anthropomorphic being (one that has human characteristics- awareness, rules, jealous, loving, etc. etc.) but the way I see it the universe is completely indifferent to our existence- mountains don’t care if we fall off of them and water doesn’t care if it drowns us. The universe is what it is.

By comparison, primate species are incredibly anthropomorphic- they have tight family groups that they love, they can be jealous, they have rules, they have a mild awareness (enough to use tools and sign language) so it really isn’t that big of a stretch to think that we are distantly related, especially when you consider the fossil evidence!

36. Why do we display The Ten Commandments in the courtrooms if you say the Bible is not real?

A: Appeal to Authority. Which in this case doesn’t apply to me because I’m not in the US. I’m British and we don’t have that, I think. I’ve never been in a courtroom.

However, there is nothing wrong with a society remembering its roots- the UK has almost 1000 years of history and Christianity has been there throughout (remember- doesn’t make it true!)

As for the US system it has only been in recent times that these have popped up- America was founded on secular principles (something I feel we could do more with on both sides of the Atlantic) it’s nonsense that it was based on anything otherwise. Google any of the founding fathers and I’m sure you’d find similar sentiments, or even in the constitution. As a Brit I feel I shouldn’t need to have to tell you about the very piece of paper that cemented our loss in the war for independence!

37. Why should be it wrong to rape if God is not real?

A: Red herring/ appeal to emotion. Moral implications shouldn’t impact on a debate about the existence of God, Jehovah or otherwise. You’re attempting to frame the question in a way that provokes an emotional response and makes my stance appear less valid (but only appear!) (Again!)

As before- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It’s very simple. Rape in particular is a horrendous crime and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. As a society we have in place the means to severely punish those who rape as well as the social stigma attached to it (even in prison) to act as a deterant to would-be rapists. None of that, however, is dependant on the existence of a God.

38. Why is The Passion of The Christ very high on the Box Office?

A: Red Herring/ Bandwagon fallacy. This quiz is probably very old- again I have to reiterate that just because something is popular doesn’t make it true! At the time of writing Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time, it doesn’t mean I’m going to preach about how we need to find Pandora. I don’t believe in the force because Star Wars is so popular, or Hogwarts because of Harry Potter.

I would also argue that box office ratings have nothing to do about the existence of Jesus of the veracity of the Bible. I find it weird that I need to point this out.

39. How can America not be a Christian nation if there are way more churches than mosques?

A: Bandwagon (again). America can have as many churches, mosques and temples as it wants. It doesn’t change the fact that it was founded on secular principles. Calling America a Christian country marginalises the other religions who are protected by the constitution to practice their faith (or non-faith) freely.

I may also argue that there are more McDonalds in America than pizza huts- does that make America a burger nation?

40. How is the bible not real if it’s the most popular book read by man?

A: Citation for your claim and bandwagon fallacy (again! This is becoming a habit!) At the time of writing the most popular book by number of sales is the Qur’an- 3 billion copies sold compared to 2.5 billion Bibles. Again, I have to reiterate (and it’s getting repetitive) that just because something is popular doesn’t mean that it’s true.

41. How did the moon form?

A: Red Herring. What does this have to do with the existence of God? I’ll indulge anyway.

As I understand the moon formed when, some 4.5 billion years ago, a mars sized planet name Theia crashed into the Earth. The resulting chaos threw a lot of debris into Earth’s gravity that came together to form the moon.

Again, I’m curious to know where creationists think it came from.

42. Did you know that famous scientists like Newton, Sir Richard Owen, Einstein, Galileo, and Copernicus were creationists?

A: Citation needed/ Appeal to Authority. Newton, Galileo and Copernicus I can understand since they were from a time where that was the norm. It doesn’t impact their contributions to science or lessens their impact on history.

Sir Richard Owen I would find hard to believe since his only problem with the theory of evolution was that it was too basic and was likely to be more complex (in a way he was right) and Albert Einstein only ever referred to God in a pantheistic sense (i.e. he believed in a non-anthropomorphic God which is against what is taught in the Torah- he was from a Jewish background) I find it highly unlikely that he was a creationist.

Admittedly the first three I just applied common sense to and the other two I had to look up (I didn’t know who Sir Richard was) but a simple search brought me the answers there.

43. Why do we not see black people come from white people?

A: Personal Incredulity. Because, as I explained before, genetic traits get passed down from one generation to the next. They can’t leap from one person to the other without somewhere to come from.

I would again add begging the question and possibly red herring fallacies to this as well. Again, you’re trying to frame the question in such a way that the answer you want is in the question- and moving the argument in a direction that doesn’t add to the debate but instead to a place where you think I won’t come out well.

This is a very vague question, by the way. It seems to imply that black and white people can't produce offsring together, which is completely incorrect.

44. Why are fruitflies still fruitflies in the lab experiments if they are claimed to prove evolution?

A: Personal Incredulity. Because a fruitfly isn’t going to be able to evolve into something that isn’t a fruitfly in the short time we’ve been able to observe. Give it a few thousand generations and maybe you’ll be surprised.

45. Did you know that the Piltdown Man was a hoax used for Darwinist propaganda?

A: The composition fallacy! At least this question is different. The argument being that because one thing wasn’t true the whole argument shouldn’t stand up. We have so much evidence pointing to evolution that it is no longer a question of if it did happen but how did it happen. Mistakes are going to be made as it would be in all endeavours, scientific or otherwise, but it doesn’t change the facts.

46. Why do we not see frogs turn into birds?

A: Personal Incredulity. This question has been asked multiple times in different versions. Refer to my previous answers.

47. Why is Fox News dishonest if it is a network run by truthful Christians?

A: Citation for your claim/ Red Herring/ Begging the question/ Appeal to emotion. You would need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that all Christians are truthful. The Vatican wasn’t exactly honest in its dealings with the paedophile ring it tried to cover up! (A low blow I know!)

There are many examples of untruthful Christians as I am sure there are many examples of untruthful Atheists, Muslims, Buddhists as well as communists, capitalists, feminists, etc. etc. and etc. Christians don’t own a monopoly on honest or dishonest behaviour.

As for Fox news, I’m not so sure a network with such a heavy political bias can always be considered ‘honest’, I genuinely thought Bill O’Reilly was a comic character like Borat when I first saw him! The rest of the world can see Fox news footage and generally laughs at it- ‘Tide goes in tide goes out, you can’t explain that!’ Really?! (It’s the moon, by the way, Bill. Were you not taught that at school?)

Again I need to state, though, that the honesty/ dishonesty of a television channel, intentional or otherwise, doesn’t impact the debate on whether a God (or Gods) exist.

48. Why did Hitler fail to make a superior race if evolution is true?

A: Appeal to emotion. Subtly trying to equate Hitler and Evolution is another logical fallacy. In fact I’d also say it’s a combination of a loaded question mixed with a genetic fallacy. You don’t want me to answer it, you want me to say something that may be taken out of context and perhaps later use it for an ad hominem attack whilst also assuming that absolutely everything Hitler believed/ did makes it evil by association, like you did with the questions about race and rape. Adolf Hitler was a human being- he was also an artist, does that make art evil? He also breathed oxygen, are you really going to breathe the same air as him? He was also confirmed catholic…

As for the ‘Master Race’ thing I’d say that he may well have created a new breed of human if any eugenic plans he may have had carried on as they did. Thankfully he was stopped before we had a chance to find out.

As for eugenics in general, setting aside the moral implications of human breeding programs, we have today certain species (particularly dogs and, as mentioned above, bananas) that have been successfully bred into certain forms. The British bulldog wouldn’t exist today if it weren’t for selective breeding. The fact is as with any eugenics project it would take a lot longer than the time Hitler had to see the results. The Bulldog in particular was a process that started over a century ago and even with modern genetic science we are scratching the surface on what we might be able to do.

Of course, there is still a lot to discuss in terms of what would be immoral and what could be allowed- modern purebred Bulldogs are generally suffering with genetic problems no one could have foreseen when they first started breeding them, and history is unfortunately littered with royal families whose genetic flaws due to inbreeding were all too well known.

​

If you made it this far then thanks for reading- I feel I should mention, again, there were certain questions which I felt I should avoid (the race, Hitler and rape related ones specifically) but I got the sense the writers were trying to put people off of answering them, and I set out to answer the 'unanswerable', so I did to the best of my ability.

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

So first and foremost let me say I'm a poor sonovabitch. A person making 100 grand a year could bury me. Also the people from RPA are co-founders of Scion. The CAR brand. If what I found is correct. And you are right 100% that lying is bad.

However, as "Conclusive" as what you think you have found through them I have a question. Why are allegations now coming out? Ballards been in and out of the news for a while. And to your, "No kids are not just taken off the street" bit. YES. They fucking are. The footage they used in the movie IS real. CCTV footage etc. I've personally seen a person be snatched off the street.

My ISSUE with what you are saying is that the "Evidence" that RPA provided which is minimal at best, and inconsistent in its presentation. Which I pointed out in my post prior. I have friends in the military, fbi, and a few friends in swat and the PDs where I used to live. And if you ever listen to their stories, you'd be shocked shitless how often and BRAZEN traffickers can be.

And so my POINT is the fact that you are taking all of this as if it's absolute fact. When:

The people presenting it used to be staunch Obama supporters.

Said "-triggered the death of unconditional trust in the scientific peer-review process-" according to reports as it's listed as an exact quote. No one should have unconditional trust in ANYTHING for the most part. That's some Faucci level speak right there of "Trust the Science".

Have you considered the fact that rather than trying to disprove Ballard, they are running an actual smear campaign against him?

We KNOW Ops happened in colombia. And my suggestion to you was that I either look into it myself. OR that we collaborate. I now realize that you are SO LOCKED on to the IDEA that RPA can't possibly be wrong, your sooner to just listen and believe then actually change your mind.

We know that parts of the movie WERE instances of artistic freedom by the creators. It does not imply the entire movie was a lie. Which is what you have presented. Shit I'd normally expect from a neo progressive able "Settled Science". Not from you.

So in short. I'm going to do my fucking research like I said that I'm going to. You are going to continue believing that EVERYTHING being said about Ballard is true. And that's fine. You do you. All I'm going to say is I expected you to be a bit more open minded than this. Because this:

Trafficking victims are not snatched up off the streets, that's a huge risk-

Which again is factually untrue. YES the rest of what you said is OTHER methods. But the method you said DOESN"T happen, does in fact happen a lot. There are videos, online right now, of kids walking home from school with vehicles following them but because adults were near enough nothing happened. HELL I've seen videos of babies and young kids be snached only to be run after and be caught. Traffickers are normally more prepared with transport. So kindly don't tell me it does not happen. My buddy Steven in swat has seen footage of that kind of shit.

Lastly, and this is me not trying to be an ass to you. Understand that the movie revolves around facts. And if RPA are just very charismatic grifters you are falling for it wholesale. And yes. We should call out liars. But typically it's only neo libs that go on outright character assassinations. And I ask. When did you become a guy who mindlessly believes in allegations? Another guy that was part of them movies supporters got accused and turns out, it was a fucking nothing burger. He was helping a girl get away from an abusive situation and nothing actually happened. So why is the accusation relevant? When he has ZERO history that would suggest he'd do something like that?

YES. Let's call him out if he lied. But I'm not going to carte blanche take what RPA said as fact. Not when they have been doing nothing but running a smear campaign against him for over a month now. And not when they documents they provided were in inconsistent forms. Which go back and forth between scans and typed up docs. Docs I HAVE NOT SEEN personally and will be looking up in this process. All I know, is that if this was a leftist doing this shit would you feel different? OR is it only because RPA says they are right wing that you are just packing it in early? And I will CALL OUT Ballard 100% if it turns out the movie is 100% fake. But I doubt it is highly. So again. You do you.

How many kids have you raped? You're a conservatard so the answer is not zero.

what level of irony is this

like there's no way you actually are trying to "dunk" on a "conservatard," that's too blatant, that's too route-1

so are you mocking liberals by pretending to be one and imitating the worst possible argument?

or is it so bad, so stupid, and so lazy that you're actually mocking conservatives, by the implication that conservatives are so stupid they'd think it was plausible?

Trump Election Lawsuits Have Mostly Failed. Here's What They Tried

— November 10, 2020 | Miles Parks | NPR

Despite calls from many for a concession this weekend, President Trump and his campaign say they are pushing on to fight the election results tooth-and-nail.

Practically speaking, that means lawsuits.

"Our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated," Trump said in a statement Saturday. "The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots."

The problem is, Trump's campaign has spent much of the past week in court with little success and without presenting anything close to evidence that points to a fraudulent result.

"You can't go to court just because you don't like the vote totals," Ohio State election law professor Ned Foley said on MSNBC over the weekend. "You have to have a legal claim, and you have to have evidence to back it up. And that's just not there."

Here's a run-through of the litigation the Trump campaign has filed so far:

Pennsylvania: Extended deadlines, observers

Philadelphia may be the central location in President Trump's quest to prove the 2020 election was stolen from him.

As expected, Republican voters voted more heavily on Election Day in Pennsylvania, a critical swing state, and Democrats voted in significantly larger numbers by mail.

Because laws around the vote counting process did not adjust to that reality, it took days before it was clear that former Vice President Joe Biden had won the state.

The Trump campaign and many Republicans, however, have seized on the time it has taken for officials to count ballots as a sign of something fraudulent happening. But the lawsuits they have filed have not borne that narrative out.

Thus far, the campaign has scored a few wins in court but none that will have an effect on the result of the state. A state court, and separately the U.S. Supreme Court, ruled that local officials must segregate some ballots in case deadlines that were extended by the secretary of state are found to be unconstitutional.

It's unclear how many ballots that will be at this point, but experts are extremely skeptical it will be anywhere close to enough to overturn Biden's current 45,000-vote lead in the state.

Separately, a federal judge ruled that election observers could stand slightly closer to election officials than they were previously allowed to, but a request to stop vote counting over the issue was dismissed.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro told NPR that despite President Trump's rhetoric about "big" legal wins in the state, the lawsuits thus far have yielded no material changes to election processes.

"I'm not going to get into a rhetorical battle with the president ... but it's hardly a big win," Shapiro said after the court decision, which allowed observers in Philadelphia to stand a few feet closer to election workers. "It has no effect on the outcome of this election."

At a press conference Monday afternoon at the Republican National Committee headquarters, a number of top Republicans announced a fresh lawsuit in Pennsylvania over what it claimed was unfair and unequal treatment of Republicans in the state's election. That litigation is ongoing.

Michigan: Unfounded claims of lack of transparency

Similarly, in Michigan the Trump campaign has tried to allude to improprieties in a major city in a state it won in 2016, but lost this year. In Michigan's case: Detroit.

The campaign's claims have focused on an alleged lack of transparency in the vote-counting process, but in two cases, judges have not been swayed.

"This court finds that while there are assertions made by the plaintiffs that there is no evidence in support of those assertions," said Judge Timothy Kenny in denying a request to delay certification of election results.

"On this factual record, I have no basis to find that there's a substantial likelihood of success on the merits as relates to this defendant, nor am I convinced that there is a clear legal duty on behalf of anyone who is properly before this court to manage this issue," said Judge Cynthia Stephens in denying a separate request to stop the state's vote counting.

Still, the Trump campaign says it has more evidence to come regarding the elections process in Detroit.

"We have only begun the process of obtaining an accurate and honest vote count," said White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, at a press conference Monday afternoon.

Arizona: Baseless Sharpie conspiracies

A rumor, which has been debunked by the Department of Homeland Security, still led to a lawsuit by the Trump campaign in Arizona.

The campaign alleged that some voters had their ballots incorrectly rejected because they used Sharpies to fill them out. It's a claim that went viral on social media, despite officials insisting it was not true.

"Don't promote disinfo! Stop spreading #SharpieGate claims," said Chris Krebs, the director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

The agency debunked the claim on its Rumor Control website, which fact-checks election misinformation.

Republicans in the state dropped the Sharpie lawsuit Saturday but then filed a separate suit alleging other votes in the state were incorrectly rejected.

Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, called the suit a "repackaging" of the Sharpie conspiracy theory, in a local TV interview.

"The claims are baseless," Hobbs said. "At this point folks are grasping at straws."

Georgia: No evidence of late ballots counted

A Georgia judge summarily dismissed a Trump campaign lawsuit last week that alleged ballots received after a 7 p.m. Election Day deadline were mixed in with legitimate ballots, according to The Current, a nonprofit newsroom in Georgia that partners with NPR member station Georgia Public Broadcasting.

Republicans in the state based their allegations on testimony from a Georgia GOP poll watcher who was subsequently unable to provide any evidence.

"The court finds that there is no evidence that the ballots referenced in the petition were received after 7:00 p.m. on [Election Day], thereby making those ballots invalid," Judge James F. Bass wrote, in dismissing the case.

On Monday, Georgia's two sitting Republican senators called for the state's Republican secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to resign after alleging "too many failures in Georgia elections this year" but without mentioning specifics to support their claims, as reported by GPB's Stephen Fowler.

Raffensperger shot back.

"My job is to follow Georgia law and see to it that all legal votes, and no illegal votes, are counted properly and accurately," he said. "As secretary of state, that is my duty, and I will continue to do my duty. As a Republican, I am concerned about Republicans keeping the U.S. Senate. I recommend that Sens. Loeffler and Perdue start focusing on that."

Nevada: Rejected requests to stop machine verification, processing of mail ballots

In Nevada, another state Biden seems to have won by a fairly thin margin, Nevada Republicans filed a lawsuit that, had it been successful, would have slowed down the vote-counting process.

The campaign and the Nevada Republican Party claimed that "irregularities have plagued the election" in Clark County, the state's most populous county, without providing evidence. They argued that the county should not be able to use a machine to verify signatures, but federal Judge Andrew Gordon rejected the request.

The Trump campaign also earlier sued unsuccessfully to stop the processing of mail ballots in Clark County.

The Problem with MSM

So I honestly don't have many followers. I'm also prone to going on tangents. And most of my posts are rooted in politics. Not by choice mind you. I was not the one that decided literally everything in existence is political. I'm also not the one that created the view points that want everything to be political. TL;DR At the bottom.

To start off however, I need you to understand the process of radicalization.

Find someone who feels discontent with how a situation is, or how their life is

Tell this person that what's happening to them is not their fault

Place the blame for this person's problems on a certain group (political group, racial group, religious group, etc.)

Talk to the person like you know how they feel, "drop your guard" and tell them "problems you've had that were not your fault" blaming that same group

Show them that they are either a victim or oppressed in some way, shape, or form.

Slowly start swaying their views further to the extreme, by showing them other instances of "others who are being attacked or are victims" of said group.

Promptly but softly oppose any "differing views" with warped information or flat out lies

Get them to start going to events and taking to others that have already been radicalized

Have you and another radicalized individual, keep track of this person and say you support them and their issues

Sit back and watch

Now this is a rough lost but more or less the bare bones basics of radicalizing other people. Though in some cases it takes more steps and in some others it takes less. So what does this have to do with MSM (Mainstream Media)? Quite a few things in modern day actually.

The job of MSM is to get you information, as fast as humanly possible. This however was not the first goal priority in the past. In the past, the first priority was to cover a story as factually as the could, and look for more information keeping people constantly updated. Here we get to our first real problem for Media today. Technology. The Advent of modern technology has been both a blessing and a curse in this regard. And of course I'm talking about the internet in its current form. The internet being the very center of information distribution in 2019. And it has been for almost 12 years now.

So what did this change? Basically everything we know today. "Old wives tales" are now a Google search away. Feeling sick? WebMD says you have Cancer. Looking for the next hour story? Check CNN's Twitter account. The Internet brought us a great, many things. But it has taken away just as many. MSM has had to slowly move operations into social media in order to try and stay relevant. This because many people have unplugged, and have gone full digital. The only real exceptions being places of business. And with the world at your finger tips at the clock of a button, being factual has lost its relevance. Not to mention that as far back as 2013-2014 activists started working for MSM companies. Most notably progressive activists. This causes many problems we currently see today. Below is an example of what a headline used to look like, and what most headlines look like now:

Normal headline: Shooting in Birmingham leaves 3 dead and several injured during city wide festival.

Headline now: White, Trump supporter, Nazi, KKK, skin head, punches 2 people in hate crime.

See the difference? The first headline shows the basic facts and dives into known details during the article. Often they'd avoid opinions all together. The second one one the other hand, blatantly discloses anything that could generate clicks. Why? Because true or not, outrage sells. So over the past several years, MSM has been slowly radicalizing us. But they do this on a bipartisan level.

Are you black? The cops will kill you, and the white man is evil. Can't find a job? Racism. Are you a woman? Then you're unhappy because "rape culture". Do you regret having sex with that guy? Well guess what? He actually raped you without you realizing. Are you white? You're evil. Are you strait? You're a monster and should give all your money to gay people. Are you a man? You are responsible for every rape ever committed. You're also a pedophile and violent. Are you a strait white man? Oh boy you won the jackpot because you're basically Hitler.

See my point here? MSM spends most of it's time trying to rage bait you into clicking their articles. And in doing so we've gotten so lazy as a country that half the time, we don't even read past the headlines. And MSM knows this. They don't care if you read what they write. They are just radicalizing you so they can keep feeding you outrage. Because the more often they do it, the more often you will click it, skim all of 3 lines and then hop on Twitter and talk about how outraged you are. Sure, we are just as to blame for letting it happen to us, but most of us used to have at least some trust in the media. But after SEVERAL severely awfully false hit pieces that were headline news for almost months, many of us have started staying away from MSM.

What incidents might I be talking about?

Covington Catholic controversy (Almost every media outlet took a 7 second clip and ran with it. Turns out, there was a full 2hr video out there, and the Native American man, whom CNN interviewed, lied his ass off. Most media also chose to ignore the VERY beginning of the video which showcased a group called The Black Hebrew Israelites. These individuals, called Trump a homosexual, called the Native Americans there "Uncle Tomahawk", and said Gay people should not have rights. THESE CATHOLIC STUDENTS, were appalled by this statement. But what did we see in the media? "Racist Maga hat kid threatens and blocks the path of a Poor innocent Native American man."

Duke Lacrosse. Years after these kids were crucified by the Media and many others, the girl actually came out saying it never happened. You know who reported on this? Next to no one.

Ferguson. Now as controversial as this one is, the media took and RAN with it. What followed after the skewed coverage was a cult like gathering that led to phrases like, "hands up don't shoot" and "oink oink, bang bang". But Obama had the issue federally investigated. Both witnesses and the coroner report said basically the same thing. That he was aggressively wrestling with the cop trying to take his gun. But, it's too late. Now all cops are evil, and Democrat politicians are quoting it like it happened yesterday, and claiming the cop guilty. Why? Because MSM already got what they needed. They radicalized the individuals they wanted, people who will come back to them for, "facts".

And what does all of this boil down to? A video that made me write this out.

2 things need to be said here. 1. The "manifesto" as it were, was actually debunked to have been uploaded by the shooter, by the site admin himself. As well as several other sources. 2. If, by some chance the manifesto was real, and he had someone upload it for him, he mentions several liberal talking points, like universal basic income, saving the environment, among other left policies.

But this brings me back to both the beginning and to this story. Assuming for a moment, the manifesto was his. How did this happen? Most of you might just jump and say, "RACIST NAZIS", or something slightly more colorful. But here is the thing. MSM is partly responsible for all of this. Assuming the conspiracy that the CIA or FBI is responsible is false, I agree with the YouTuber in the picture. I believe that if you belittle and berate someone enough over time, you can cause them to do extreme things. I mean look at this site. Look at Twitter. Look at MSM. "White people bad", "white people are evil" "K*LL all whites" "white privilege", "fuck men", "male tears", "man spreading", "mansplaining", "Yes all men". All of this. This is popular. This is a trend. And it's unacceptable. Because frankly, it's basically bullying someone into a corner. Personally? I've been told by a few companies that are scared of social justice warriors and the online hate mob, that their company is actively not hiring white individuals. And I wish, REALLY WISH, I was making that up.

Is it any wonder, that people who go to the internet as an escape end up in a low point in their lives and then decide to do something awful? And it's the same with school shootings too. The news puts out, the name, ethnicity, how tall they are, and their entire life story, for weeks at a time. And now for much longer, because they support the desire to ban guns. So they need these things to happen more often. So the glorify the shooter, and keep talking about him/them for months. But here is where the story gets fun.

Columbine's shooting, was actually supposed to be a bombing. The kids who did it? Not the "school losers" the media talked about. The trench coat club? They were not even apart of it. More info on that here. As well as other places on Google.

More or less This video covers what the media got wrong in their rush to cover everything. What they did not intend on, was making these two boys heros to those bullied in school. Mostly boys, who are torn down and told they aren't enough, that they don't matter, they are isolated, bullied, harassed. So they look for someone who stood up to their bullies. What they were given, was a sociopath who manipulated a suicidal boy into helping him commit mass murder. Almost all of MSM were quick to say they were bullied into it. What's worse however, is Parkland. The Parkland 5, (the students whom MSM propped up for months) one of them came out admitting, that she bullied the guy who shot up the school. Said he was weird and that she needed to do it. This is one of the teens the media has PROPPED UP, saying we should listen to their infinite wisdom. A girl who is probably half responsible for the shooting.

Start paying attention. Start doing research. And for the love of all that is holy, STOP BULLYING PEOPLE! I don't care what your narrative is, or what it means. IE:

White people are human

Black people are human

Hispanic people are human

Gay people are human

Strait people are human

Women are human

Men are human

Stop normalizing anything to the contrary. Because when you do, you become part of the problem.

TL;DR The media only cares about themselves and clicks. They don't care who they radicalize, so long as you keep giving them traffic. Which for them is money. Do your research, look into things, and don't bully people. I'm looking at you progressives.
