6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
and that a life form
that wasn't supposed to be here?
Accelerated
an increase in wickedness?
Then you will never understand
what is going on
in your world right now,
right in front of you.
"in the latter days ye
shall understand it plainly."
Its pretty simple.
The trouble is in accepting it.
Let me help ya out a lil bit:
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
"The U.S. administration remains concerned by what intelligence officials have described as accelerated progress by Iran toward a nuclear weapons capability. Current assessments indicate Tehran is closer than ever to assembling a deliverable device, prompting increased urgency within the National Security Council and Pentagon."
"Electromagnetic observations help support the theory that neutron star mergers contribute to rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis[28]—previously assumed to be associated with supernova explosions—and are therefore the primary source of r-process elements heavier than iron,[1] including gold and platinum.[53] The first identification of r-process elements in a neutron star merger was obtained during a re-analysis of GW170817 spectra.[78] The spectra provided direct proof of strontium production during a neutron star merger. This also provided the most direct proof that neutron stars are made of neutron-rich matter. Since then, several r-process elements have been identified in the ejecta including yttrium,[79] lanthanum and cerium.[80]
“It’s not a complicated formula. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Right now we have countries that have nuclear power that shouldn’t have it.But I’m sure we’ll be able to negotiate out of that too as part of this later on down the line."
Ive read a number of articles about the coming "negotiations" this weekend
some yesterday when they were announced, some this morning.
Most of them contained:
“It’s not a complicated formula.
Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon."
But then left out the very next sentence:
"Right now
we have countries
that have
nuclear power
(And he wasnt talking about
"nuclear power"
for residential, commercial,
or industrial use.)
that shouldn’t have it."
The fact that he said that?
Right after he said:
“It’s not a complicated formula.
Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon."
tells you
EXACTLY
who he was referencing
(IRAN)
"Right now we have countries
that have nuclear power
that shouldn’t have it"
and it also explains why,
that sentence didn't receive near as much coverage,
or face any scrutiny, questions from the press etc.
I went looking for that sentence in coverage of this story this morning and I couldn't find it covered anywhere else but in the piece referenced above.
(Article Thursday Aug 15th Award given earlier in the week. )
(They spilled the beans about Iranian having a bomb, or a couple.)
"Behind the scenes:
The source said Burns gave the award
to his Qatari counterpart in
"appreciation of his role
in maintaining
national and regional security,
and the
exceptional support
he provided to the CIA
in preserving the interests
and security of the U.S.
and Qatar."
"Another main reason for the award
was the cooperation
between the CIA and Qatari intelligence
in counterterrorism
and the ability of the
Qatari State Security Agency
to prevent and foil
threats and attacks
in the Middle East, the source said.'
They tipped us off, to what Iran was up to.
I have maintained all along, that having a bomb is one thing, and that having the delivery mechanism is the most complicated part of the process. Combining the bomb with the technology to get it to its desired location, and to work in the manner you want it too.
This is why Israel took out their underground nuclear testing facility, to prevent further testing, as well as their ability to make more fuel for their missiles. They will not be able to launch multiple waves of missile attacks as, whatever fuel they have is what they have. They do not have the technology (they got it from China) nor the time, to rebuild and restock.
Now throw in a once in a lifetime attack that effectively disabled Hezbollah, (Pager/walkie talkie), the destruction Iran's advance warning radars (some in Syria) and their antiaircraft capabilities and
any discussions about negotiations,
is just going through the motions
for an already predetermined course of action.
Its why we were putting B52's in Qatar during the Biden administration. There is no going back, there is only one way forward and it really couldn't be any more obvious.
“It’s not a complicated formula. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Right now we have countries that have nuclear power that shouldn’t have it. But I’m sure we’ll be able to negotiate out of that too as part of this later on down the line."
"The U.S. Air Force has used B-2A Spirit stealth bombers to attack Houthi targets in Yemen during the recent campaign against the rebel group, a U.S. official told The War Zone. That campaign began March 15 with a series of aviation and missile strikes against the Iranian-backed group. You can read more about the deployment of B-2s to the remote Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia here.
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational details, declined to say how many of these aircraft were used, how often or when.The confirmation however, provides more context about the collection of these jets on Diego Garcia. CNN was the first to report that B-2s from that island attacked the Houthis."
With all the other evidence we have of everything else going on in the region?
Seems like we would have more evidence than just an "official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity" who "declined to say how many of these aircraft were used, how often or when."
"Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed late Sunday that he would be talking about the tariffs with Netanyahu, but remained vague on the other items on the agenda.
“We’re going to talk about trade, and
we’re going to talk about the obvious subject,
you know what the obvious subject is,”
he said. “There are a lot of things going on with the Middle East right now that have to be silenced.”
CNN runs it piece about how an anonymous DOD source told them they (B2's) had been used against the Houthis, giving no details about when, how many, what was hit, what the results were ect, with no evidence to back it up, satellite images etc.
(And if there is? I Already know for a fact there is not a religious text with light on two separate instances in its creation story to go along with it, so it would be a moot point anyway.)
"But physicist Michael Vopson is taking a different approach. Instead of looking for broken pixels in the cosmos, he’s searching for efficiency—patterns that suggest our universe is built like a well-optimized algorithm. At the heart of his theory is something called the Second Law of Infodynamics."
(Just because somebody
with a bunch of letters after their name
makes something up?
Hardly qualifies it as a theory.
Our programming?
Our souls?
"The immaterial part of man"
(is what this calls it in its cyclopedic index.
)
Are massless.
Data is massless.
Weigh a hard drive.
Put a Terabyte of data on it.
Weigh it again.
It will be Unchanged.
We
(and all other matter)
are virtually massless.
99.9999999999999%
Electromagnetic energy.)
"Unlike the traditional laws of thermodynamics, which describe energy and entropy, Vopson’s lawapplies to information itself.
He argues that over time,
the universe doesn’t tend toward chaos
but toward compressed order.
He suggests the universe is operating like a vast data optimization program."
(So is in an argument or a theory?
And why wouldn't it be:
"operating like a vast data optimization program"?
Remember,
Theory's have
multiple streams of documented evidence
to support them.
His "theory",
is more like an idea or argument
than a theory.
And?
It Violates the entropy Laws.
So lets see.)
"This behavior extends beyond physics, too.
Genetic information,
for instance,
doesn’t behave as randomly
as Darwinian theory might suggest.
(WELL THATS BECAUSE IT
SIMPLY CANT!
Information
is the opposite
of randomness.
Information
requires
logic and sequence.
From a cave painting,
to a ballet
and
anything and everything in-between,
nowhere ever,
has anyone ever seen,
or experienced
any information
that was the result
of a random process.
SO FUCK DARWIN.
It's stupidity.)
"Instead,
it seems to minimize information entropy over time
in the same way a system is designed
to store and transmit data as efficiently as possible.
In short, Vopson believes
this could be evidence of
the universe’s source code at work.
(They will call it anything
but what it is:
THE LIVING GOD ALMIGHT.
"universes source code at work"
Awesome,
who wrote the code dipshits?
Anybody ever seen code write itself?
As if you say AI?
Ill wanna smack ya.
Because somebody wrote the AI code initially,
It didn't write itself either.)
"Of course, not everyone’s convinced—and why should they be? Some scientists are skeptical, saying the
simulation theory treads dangerously close to pseudoscience
or even theology dressed up in tech lingo.
(They will call it anything but what it actually is.)
"After all, is there a real difference between
an all-powerful creator
and a superintelligent programmer?"
(No, no there is not.)
"Still, Vopson’s claims open the door
to a new way of looking at the cosmos."
Somebody needs to tell

"...modern holographic images really derived from the work of Emmett Leith at the University of Michigan and I had the privilege of being with him in his laboratory in the early 60s looking at some computer-generated Holograms so Holograms are it's worth your trouble to stick with me here to see what a hologram is let's assume I have a three-dimensional object I'm using here the bust of Lincoln as an idiom on the slide and now the piece of photographic film okay I can arrange a laser beam to flood that image directly okay and I'll call that the reference beam because the laser is very collimated I use a beam splitter a spreader to spread that over the spread of the image I can also have that same laser deflect some of its light and shine it directly on the object of interest you with me so far so I've got the laser driving and illumination of the film plate and the object simultaneously by highly highly organized light that's what a laser does it's temporarily uh it's in Phase all together so light will reflect from the bust onto the film and it'll also get light from directly from the laser what you end up with on the film when you process the film in the dark room you hold up the light and it looks like a fog piece of film you think it's a darker mistake until you set it down and you shine the laser on that piece of film and you discover it acts like a window into a three-dimensional space that was in front of it when this thing was formed and it has some very unusual product that's called the Hologram it's some people call it lensless photography it's a little misnomer because you do have some lenses trying to organize the light to get it where you want but but so the point is there's a what's on the film is what mathematically is a Fourier transform of the image it's not in the space domain it's in the frequency domain
(My comments follow below:
My friend is happy lol and I have no problem with the idea of the far reaches of space being a hologram, none. All these astronomers/cosmologist etc are studying is based on what? Light. Why couldnt the creator of it create a hologram to simulate what he wants to? This explains the JWST finding galaxies that didnt fit models of galaxy formation etc. In fact we see this all the time, what scientist think it has to be like and then it gets completely destroyed, why? Because the encoder of the hologram has a terrific sense of humour. They study his creation (light) and then he changes the encoding up on them after they figure something out...How hard is that to understand? Why wouldnt you want to spend eternity with the encoder of it all?)
and that has some profound implications
it acts like a window
in three-dimensional space
let's imagine how three-dimensional hologram three-dimensional space and as we look at it as we move our eye around you can look around things let me give you an example: let's assume that I held up my Bible and you took a photograph of me you would not be able to see my tie would you but if you took a hologram you could move your eye around the Bible and see my tie and tell what color it was follow me that's what I mean by a three-dimensional effect and so it uh it requires proper illumination it's useless in natural light you really need to have it illuminated by laser I'm talking about a true hologram not a synthetic one um something interesting the information of the Hologram is spread over the entire piece that doesn't I could cut the Hologram in half and get two complete pictures if I took a photograph and cut it in half you're going to get one half or the other right but if I take a hologram cut in half you each have one and gives you a complete picture one might not be as sharp as you know not quite as sharp as it was you lose a little resolution you can cut a hole in the Hologram and doesn't hurt you because you can look around it see what was behind it follow me see every piece of information is on every inch of the Hologram it's spread okay there's no loss from dropouts it's also resilient to specific interference there's no way to jam it so to speak it anticipates hostile jamming now where I'm headed here as you can probably tell you have the equivalent of a hologram in your lap (Their Bibles) just like a natural hologram in normal white light there's it has no form to come to this there's no reason for you to desire it but you illuminate it by the light that created in the first place you get an image and we take your Bible and it's illuminated by the Holy Spirit you get an image of what Jesus Christ it goes oh by the way if you illuminate it with a laser that's of a different frequency than created you get a false image oh you're with me you're get you pick it up I could tell okay good the Bible's a hologram it has Fourier transform properties it's it's a transcendent of any parallax and that's exactly what Isaiah says is the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept precept upon precept line upon line line upon line here a little there a little what's he saying these the message of God in the Bible is spread throughout the entire Bible you could conduct an experiment take your Bible randomly tear out a page don't literally do it but do it conceptually what have you lost there is no important Doctrine no important truth in scripture you will have lost it's immune in fact it's been designed in anticipation of what we would call a Communications during hostile Journey there's no chapter on baptism there's no chapter on salvation there's no Chapter and pick a Doctrine it's not all in one place it is deliberately spread and that if you're a Communications engineer and you're given a certain bandwidth between two points and your job is to design a communication system to communicate between those two points in a lot of ways you can go about it but if you say if you want you they want you to design it in anticipation of hostile jamming someone's going to try to jam your signal what do you do you do several things one of which is you spread your message over the available bandwidth you don't concentrate it you spread it because it's harder to jam that's exactly what's been done in the scripture the scripture has been designed with a sophistication that will astonish you as you get into it so we have the Bible as a hologram we have what we what the engineer would call spread Spectrum design it exploits the entire bandwidth and therefore has immunity to hostile jamming I've often threatened to do this we're going to have a meeting tonight and we're going at the meeting we're going to tear out the page of the Bible That's unimportant and then when everybody gets together I'll take the page between the old New Testament and tear it out and it's one book not two okay I thought that would smoke out the fundamentals okay (lol)
it's not a quaint rhetorical device for ancient people who had no background that's what a lot of people read this it reads so it could do that but even more astonishing the more sophistication you have the more comfortable these passages will be."
