Stimulus check wasn't exempt from garnishment. Creditors win again.

Ted Talks are for people whose ambition exceeds their talent.

People prefer to make money without having to work for it. Witness Bitcoin. Day traders are Bitcoiners without the patience.

Mike Norman said...

What guinea pigs? It's science, bro. Stop with this nonsense.

Peter Pan said...

Are you naïve?
Why do you think I mentioned polio?

Experimental vaccines are dangerous. Your participation should be based on a personal risk assessment. Why should someone like you, who is supposedly in excellent health, go for this?

I have no intention of taking a vaccine for a pathogen that poses near zero risk to my life.
I sure as hell won't take it to show "solidarity" with this fucked up society.

Mike Norman said...

It must get tiring being so cynical and negative all the time. I am impressed by your stamina.

Peter Pan said...

This from a guy who admits that people are treated better when they have money.

That's not entirely unreasonable since:

1) Some net fiat creation is necessary to accommodate population growth and potential economic growth.

2) All fiat creation should be for the general welfare.

THEREFORE:

All fiat creation beyond that created by deficit spending for the general welfare (e.g. infrastructure spending) should be via an equal Citizen's Dividend.

The Pfizer and Moderna are mRNA so not a traditional 'vaccine' ... I think the J&J is more typical 'vaccine'...

This should be promoted to a post.

They don't know if it prevents contagion. When you take a cold suppressant, you feel better but you're still spreading the bug.

It’s supposed to create an immune system response to the B.1.351 spike protein that is the basis of the Chicomms bio weapon here

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33594378/

Natural antibodies:

“ This study examined whether CD8+ T-cell responses from COVID-19 convalescent individuals(n=30) potentially maintain recognition of the major SARS-CoV-2 variants. Out of 45 mutations assessed, only one from the B.1.351 Spike overlapped with a low-prevalence CD8+ epitope, suggesting that virtually all anti-SARS-CoV-2 CD8+ T-cell responses should recognize these newly described variants.”

The mRNA injections are supposed to create the same reaction to this spike protein the chcomms spliced into another harmless protein to create the COVID-19...

Sometimes polio can be a good thing.

Canadian folksinger Joni Mitchell contracted polio at the age of 9. She wrote in her autobiography:

"A great sorrow hath humanized me."

You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio

Ahmed Fares said...

Between the human being and God are just two veils—health and wealth—all other veils come from these. Those who are healthy do not look for God and do not see Him, but as soon as pain afflicts them they cry out, “O God! O God!” calling out and surrendering to God. Therefore, health is their veil and God is hidden in their pain.

As long as people have wealth, they gratify their desires, and are preoccupied night and day with pleasures. The moment poverty appears, their spirits are weakened and they turn to God.
—Discourses of Rumi

“When the money is gone, love flies out the window” - Olde Pennsylvania Dutch wives’ tale

Ahmed Fares said...

Socrates was asked: "Which is better, to marry or not to marry"? he answered:- "By all means, marry. If you get a good wife you will become very happy. But if you get a bad one, you will become a philosopher and that is good for any man."

Peter Pan said...

Talk about taking a cheap shot at your wife...

Andrew Anderson said...

And someone should have told Rumi to speak for himself given the example of Job who had both wealth and health and yet worshipped God. Indeed, the strategy of Satan (as allowed by God) was to attack Job's wealth and health in an effort to get Job to curse God.

Ahmed Fares said...

who had both wealth and health and yet worshipped God.

He worshiped God with even more intensity when health and wealth were gone.

Indeed, the strategy of Satan (as allowed by God) was to attack Job's wealth and health

There is no power outside of God. He expands and constrains the sustenance. He gives disease and He heals.

His Life and Almighty Power

He Most High is living, almighty, overmastering, triumphant, unaffected by inability or weakness; unsusceptible to drowsiness, sleep, annihilation, or death; possessed of absolute sovereignty and might, of irresistible power and force. His is the majesty and sway, the creation and command. The heavens are enfolded in His right hand and all beings are powerless in His grasp. He alone creates, begins, gives existence, and originates. He creates all beings and their acts, ordains their sustenance and terms. Nothing possible is out of His grasp, the disposal of no matter is beyond His power. The number of things He can do is limitless, the amount He knows is infinite.


His Will

He Most High wills all that exists and directs all events. Nothing occurs in the physical or spiritual world, be it meager or much, little or great, good or evil, of benefit or detriment, faith or unbelief, knowledge or ignorance, triumph or ruin, increase or decrease, obedience or sin; save through His ordinance, apportionment, wisdom, and decision. What He wills is, and what He does not will is not. Neither sidelong glance nor passing thought is beyond His design. He originates all and returns it, does what He wills, and none can repulse His command. There is no rescinding His destiny, no flight for a servant from disobeying Him except through divinely given success therein and mercy, and no strength to obey Him save through His choice and decree. If all mankind, jinn, angels, and devils combined their efforts to move or to still a single particle of the universe without His will and choice, they would be unable to. His will, like His other attributes, exists in His entity and He ever possesses it. He has willed from preeternity the existence of all things at the times He has chosen. They occur at the times which He has destined from beginingless eternity, occurring neither before nor after, but taking place in accordance with His knowledge and will, without substitution or alteration. He directs events without successive thoughts or waiting for time to elapse, which is why nothing diverts Him from anything else.

the amount He knows is infinite.

Not so since God regretted making mankind and He regretted making Saul King, etc. etc.

And in Jerimiah 17:9-10

The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?

“I the Lord search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”
Jerimiah 17:9-10

But if the Lord already knows everything then what need for Him to search hearts and examine minds?
