Mene mene tekel upharsin Part 4 - USA UK to fall - Money laundering Of Biden Harris in Ukraine
Russia demonstrating far superior nuclear weapons and missiles than whole west USA UK Europe combined, it is obvious current Biden Kamala Harris Democrats administration, is trying to wipe out proofs of its MONEY LAUNDERING in Ukraine by ensuring nuclear annihilation of Ukraine and risking total wipeout of Western Empire USA UK Europe and western civilization at the hands of EURASIAN EMPIRE Russia
They have also quickly adapted to changing battlefield realities, and are innovating and mass-producing new war tools previously seen only as novelties, but now acknowledged as essential.
In short, the Russians are not only winning this war in an impressively decisive fashion, but they will emerge from it as the single most formidable and battle-hardened military force on the planet.
Most significantly, Russia has exposed for all to see that the empire not only has limitations, but that it is vastly weaker and more vulnerable than hardly anyone had previously been willing to believe.
THAT is why so much of the rest of the world is now emboldened to defy imperial edicts.
THAT is the reason new alliances are solidifying between heretofore reluctant friends.
It is time to impeach Biden or use the The Twenty-fifth Amendment to give power over to Republicans before January 20 to ensure survival of US Uk EU civilization!
To be continued .... look out for More Part 5...Part 6... Part 7... More proofs coming

Isaiah 47: mene, tekel, and parsin
Isaiah's prophecy was fulfilled before Daniel's very eyes, who was called in from retirement to explain God's handwriting upon the wall of Belshazzar's dining room. #BelshazzarsFeast #MeneTekelParsin #MeneTekelUpharsin #FallofBabylon
Judgment on Babylon In contrast to God’s loving patience with God’s own own people, and God’s promise put God’s salvation in them, was the judgment coming to Babylon. Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter Babylon!Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter Chaldea!For you shall no more be called tender and delicate. Isaiah 47:1 (NRSV) V0034440 The fall of Babylon; Cyrus the…

Mene mene tekel upharsin. … Part 3
Mene mene tekel upharsin. … Part 3
As it has turned out (and contrary to the fantastical western narratives of Russian humiliation and massive losses), the Russians have prosecuted a remarkably economical destruction of not one, but five successive iterations of increasingly NATO-armed and NATO-trained armies.
And they have done so while assembling, equipping, and thoroughly training a reserve army twice the size of the one they have used to methodically wreck the armies arrayed against them in Ukraine.
They have achieved the greatest industrial mobilization since the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Their massive increases in production of the implements of industrial-scale warfare dwarves the combined capabilities of their adversaries.
To Be continued.....

"To sailors, oaths are household words; they will swear in the trance of the calm, and in the teeth of the tempest; they will imprecate curses from the topsail-yard-arms, when most they teeter over to a seething sea; but in all my voyagings, seldom have I heard a common oath when God’s burning finger has been laid on the ship; when His “Mene, Mene, Tekel Upharsin” has been woven into the shrouds and the cordage."
I love these little details of sailing life and the character of sailors

Belshazzar's Feast
Artist: Washington Allston (American, 1779–1843)
Date: 1817
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Collection: Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, Michigan, United States of America
Who Was Belshazzar?
Belshazzar was the last king of ancient Babylon and is mentioned in Daniel 5. Belshazzar reigned for a short time during the life of Daniel the prophet. His name, meaning “Bel protect the king,” is a prayer to a Babylonian god; as his story shows, Bel was powerless to save this evil ruler.
Belshazzar ruled Babylon, a powerful nation with a long history and a long line of powerful kings. One of those kings was Nebuchadnezzar, who had conquered Judah, bringing the temple treasures to Babylon along with Daniel and many other captives. Belshazzar was Nebuchadnezzar’s grandson through his daughter Nitocris. Belshazzar calls Nebuchadnezzar his “father” in Daniel 5:13, but this is a generic use of the word father, meaning “ancestor.”
During his life, King Nebuchadnezzar had encountered the God of Israel’s power and was humbled by Him (Daniel 4:34–37), but twenty years after Nebuchadnezzar’s death, his grandson Belshazzar “praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone” (Daniel 5:4). One fateful night in 539 BC, as the Medes and the Persians lay siege to the city of Babylon, King Belshazzar held a feast with his household and a thousand of his noblemen. The king demanded all the gold and silver cups and vessels plundered from the Jewish temple be brought to the royal banquet hall. They filled the vessels with wine and drank from them, praising their false gods (Daniel 5:1–4). The use of the articles from the Jewish temple was a blasphemous attempt for Belshazzar to relive the glory days of his kingdom, to recall the time when Babylon was conquering other nations instead of being threatened with annihilation from the Persians outside their walls.
As the drunken king reveled, God sent him a sign: a human hand appeared, floating near the lampstand and writing four words in the plaster of the wall: “MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN.” Then, the hand disappeared (Daniel 5:5, 25). The king paled and was extremely frightened; he called his wise men and astrologers and enchanters to tell him what the writing meant, promising that “whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom” (verse 7). But none of the wise men of Babylon could interpret the words.
Hearing a commotion in the banquet hall, the queen (possibly Nitocris or even Nebuchadnezzar’s widow) came to investigate. She remembered Daniel as one whose wisdom Nebuchadnezzar had trusted, and she told Belshazzar to summon the Jewish prophet (Daniel 5:10–12). Daniel was brought before the king, but he refused the gifts Belshazzar offered him—the kingdom was not his to give, as it turned out (verse 17). Daniel rebuked Belshazzar’s pride: although the king knew the story of how God humbled his grandfather, he did not humble himself. Instead, he dishonored God by drinking from the sacred items of the temple (verses 22–23). Then, Daniel interpreted the words on the wall. Mene means “God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end.” Tekel means “you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.” Parsin means “your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians” (Daniel 5:24–28). Daniel never revealed what language those words belong to.
That night, the Persians invaded. Cyrus the Great, king of Medo-Persia, broke through the supposedly impenetrable wall of Babylon by cleverly diverting the river flowing into the city so that his soldiers could enter through the river duct. Historical records show that this invasion was made possible because the entire city was involved in a great feast—the feast of Belshazzar mentioned in Daniel 5. “That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain, and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom” (Daniel 5:30–31). The demise of King Belshazzar illustrates the truth of Proverbs 16:18, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”

also White is right, the answer is "we do have the authority to determine whether or not Walter Nixon was tried according to the meaning of the Constitution, it's just that within a reasonable test, given the text and reasonable interpretations of the text, he was tried. If the Rule XI states that the evidence should be burned in a fire and if it blows ashes or smoke onto enough members, the impeached shall be convicted--then he would not have been "tried"! But here he has been measured, in accordance with their rules, and found wanting."
fuck yes walter nixon, I've been waiting for this one since Vladeck references it all the time on Nat'l Sec. Law but never explains it beyond "political question doctrine", "non-justiciability", "commitment of textual authority to coordinate political department" and "lack of judicially manageable standards". But from the selection of the Rehnquist opinion here, that's basically all there is!

Savior Complex 17/? (SPN/TWD Crossover)
Excerpt from Savior Complex: Castiel lays siege to the Sanctuary:
Chapter 17: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin
The sun never rose over the Sanctuary. The people tilted their faces skyward, desperate for even a glimpse of natural light through the thick, swirling whiteness, but salvation never came.
Without sunlight, the passage of time became impossible to measure. Hours bled into days, into weeks – perhaps even months. Inside the Sanctuary, every clock had stopped, as though time itself had been warped, corrupted by the unnatural mist. And although the sun never rose, the wind, it whispered. A chorus of a thousand faceless voices carried through the fog, distant and unintelligible. Unfathomable.
Sometimes, something else appeared in the sky.
An immense arched shadow would come drifting high above in the smoky mist, sweeping over the Sanctuary like some otherworldly satellite, gliding slowly at first, then faster and faster with every pass, wreathed in violent bursts of lightning too blinding to behold.
The soft wind would swell into a howling storm, and with it, the whispers – closer, louder, insistent. In, in, let me in.
Until, finally, the voices would come together in a single, deafening shriek. And when the colossal ring passed over the Sanctuary one last time – its people writhing, clutching their ears against the terrible cry – it was as if the air itself burned away, leaving behind a jarring, absolute silence. Those who still had breath in their lungs howled in voiceless terror, mouths agape, eyes bulging, yet no sound escaped into the vacuum.
It was always a mercy, when the whispers returned.
(Read the entire story here. )

BELSHAZZAR'S FEAST (1820) by JOHN MARTIN
The painting depicts the biblical story of the writing on the wall from the Book of DANIEL. It is considered one of MARTIN'S most famous and important works, showcasing his trademark style of epic, apocalyptic landscapes and dramatic lighting.
The painting depicts a lavish banquet hall, with the BABYLONIAN king BELSHAZZAR at the head of the table, surrounded by his courtiers and concubines. The scene is set in the midst of a decadent feast, with opulent decorations and extravagant displays of wealth.
In the left side of the painting, a disembodied hand is seen writing on the wall, with the words 'MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN' appearing in fiery letters. This is the moment when God's judgment is delivered to BELSHAZZAR, foretelling the downfall of his kingdom and the end of his reign.
MARTIN'S use of light is a key element in the painting, with the source of the light coming from a large window behind the writing on the wall. This creates a striking contrast between the brightly lit banquet hall and the dark, ominous figures of the courtiers and the writing on the wall. The use of light also adds to the dramatic and supernatural atmosphere of the scene, emphasizing the divine message being delivered to the king.
MARTIN'S meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate and elaborate decorations of the banquet hall, showcasing his skill as a painter. The use of rich, vibrant colors adds to the opulent and grandiose atmosphere of the scene, further emphasizing the excess and decadence of BELSHAZZAR'S rule.
