Morning

 

My Sunshine.

I love you my Queen :-).

ps

 

Just because I aint postin don't mean I aint readin.

I

 

suppose man made all this too right? 

Since man "made up" the laws of mathematics as some would claim?

Seen #8 in full effect. 

I'll have my chance to explain here shortly.

I love you honey.

Thx for putting up w me. I put up with a lot too babygurl.

Good night honey. 

Love it

Yup

 

Hosea 9:7-9

The days of punishment are coming,

    the days of reckoning are at hand.

    Let Israel know this.

Because your sins are so many

    and your hostility so great,

the prophet is considered a fool,

    the inspired person a maniac.

The prophet, along with my God,

    is the watchman over Ephraim,

yet snares await him on all his paths,

    and hostility in the house of his God.

They have sunk deep into corruption,

    as in the days of Gibeah.

God will remember their wickedness

    and punish them for their sins.

Said

 

 these things a good while back as well.

After studying Quantitative Easing during the financial crisis my summary was pretty straight forward and stark and went something like this:

Okay great, you put a bandage on something that needed a tourniquet. (QE during the financial crisis). So what happens the next time you need a tourniquet? (ie, Covid). 

As this article states, There are just no good options left and central banks and fiat currencies have pretty much ran there course

"...we’re fighting with our hands tied behind our back, because meaningful interest rate increases – which are kryptonite for inflation – are currently impossible...."

"In 2007, the federal government had borrowed a total of $9 trillion and paid about 5% interest on it, with an annual interest total of $450 billion. Today, it owes $29 trillion at 1.6%. Annual interest: $464 billion. It’s a neat trick racking up debt without paying more for it, but it leaves us vulnerable. For every one-percentage-point increase in rates, the interest payment will go up by $290 billion or more per year. That’s nearly half of the annual U.S. military budget – unless we start reducing the debt.

This risk is multiplied by other forms of debt, including mortgages, car loans, student loans, municipal and corporate debt, and financial leverage. Altogether, the total is in the ballpark of $100 trillion, much of which needs to be rolled over or refinanced on a regular basis, just like the federal debt. At least $2 trillion of this belongs to "zombie companies" that cannot make ends meet without borrowing more at ultra-low rates, and there are many near-zombie companies yet to come out of the woodwork.

As a result, the Fed has largely lost control of its most powerful tool against inflation."

Current feels

 

all at the same time.

It's a lil much to take anymore

Feeling like my very soul has been ripped away from me and I'm tired of it. Lived in this Valley long enough Lucy.

So

 

if man invented math?

 Then by default he invented time dilation as well?

Time Dialation

It's

 

already becoming the Hal 9000 in 2001 a  space odyssey.

"In November, a group of researchers at MIT published a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrating that analyzing trends in machine learning can provide a window into these mechanisms of higher cognitive brain function. Perhaps even more astounding is the study’s implication that AI is undergoing a convergent evolution with nature — without anyone programming it to do so."

Good Read

 

The rise and fall of rationality in language

The article starts off with:

Significance

"The post-truth era has taken many by surprise..." 

Matthew 24:3-4

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

Hearted maybe...

 

I

 

know this pain all to well.

It's slowly killing me...

I spoke

 

about this a while back.

What if Math Is a Fundamental Part of Nature, Not Something Humans Came Up With?

How in the world, anybody can think, the language of the universe was invented by man, is beyond my reasoning capabilities. To me? It shows just how far mans arrogance has reached.

Excerpts from the article follow below with my comments listed in bold and Italics

"Everywhere you look, the natural world is laced with stunning patterns that can be described with mathematics. From bees to blood vessels, ferns to fangs, math can explain how such beauty emerges."

Well no kidding, maybe there's a reason for it, ever thought of that? People like to say you can't prove God exist, I completely disagree. The physical laws that govern the heavens and the earth are proof enough of the almighty's existence.

"Math is often described this way, as a language or a tool that humans created to describe the world around them, with precision."

Since when and says who?

"But there's another school of thought which suggests math is actually what the world is made of; that nature follows the same simple rules, time and time again, because mathematics underpins the fundamental laws of the physical world."

This is the correct school of thought, the "other" school of thought should be that man created it. And it's not a "suggestion" if the evidence of it clearly seen all around us every day.

"Fractals are exquisite, self-repeating patterns which, besides some cauliflowers, are also found in fern fronds, branching blood vessels, and the rings of Saturn. Fractals are geometrical shapes made up of smaller and smaller copies of themselves, creating a mesmerizing 'self-similarity' that is infinitely deep."

I suppose man invented those as well, right?

"Whether they know it or not, bees build hexagonal honeycomb in a way that produces the most storage space using the least materials – a theory known as the 'honeycomb conjecture' which was finally demonstrated by American mathematician Thomas Hales in 1999."

"Well how in the world could that have ever happened?"

"Let's not forget nature's 'favorite' numbers, Fibonacci numbers, where each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two. Fibonacci numbers are seen in sunflower seeds, pine cones and pineapples.

Spiral galaxies and nautilus shells also mimic so-called golden spirals by growing in a logarithmic ratio with every quarter turn."

"But even though mathematical patterns are everywhere to be seen in nature, recent discoveries suggest the connection between math and nature runs deeper still, in ways we're only just beginning to appreciate."

Maybe the author and others of her ilk are just starting to appreciate, others of us have been appreciating this fact for a long time already.

"In a roundabout way, that discovery leads us back to the idea that mathematics provides a structural framework for the physical world. It's an interesting idea to entertain – so long as your head doesn't explode."

If you understand where the physical laws of the universe came from? I assure you your head will not explode. And besides, I thought the scientific method involved the use of empirical data verified repeatedly? How much more evidence do you need to see around you daily?

"nature follows the same simple rules, time and time again, because mathematics underpins the fundamental laws of the physical world"

Well I wonder how that ever came to be?

Jeremiah 33:25

This is what the Lord says: ‘If I have not made my covenant with day and night and established the laws of heaven and earth,

Job 38:33

Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth? 

Big mans getting a lil tired of us rejecting the evidence of his presence that is in our plain sight daily.

As I said before, you got a better answer that explains math and where it came from? I'm all ears, please come enlighten me, I'll gladly listen to any other explanation that makes more sense if somebody wants to come explain it to me. Got a feeling I'll be waiting a while, just like I've been waiting for some french fries.

I love you honey, just well beyond fed up right now.

Coming

 

from the same person that said six months in we were "half way there"?

It rings a lil...well...lets just say I've been hearing it for almost a decade now, talks cheap, so tell me something I haven't heard like...I'll see you Saturday love of my life, something like that.

Check your email.

I told you what needs to happen to get me to start listening to you again.

Till then?

Not gonna happen.

Morning Sunshine

 

I love you baby.

Hey

 

honey :-).

Wish you were with me tomorrow AM.

Didnt really wanna do this without you...

I love you.

TTYS

Yup...

 

U.S. is 'fully prepared' if Russia invades Ukraine, secretary of state says

"While Blinken hasn't ruled out sanctions, Vindman is convinced they won't work.

"Russia's actually hardened against sanctions," Vindman said. "In addition to a hardening against economic sanctions, in addition to indigenizing technologies and supply chains to Russia. So being less concerned about what comes in from the U.S., being less concerned about what comes in from Europe, they've also built a massive war chest — $620 billion — that gives them a significant cushion to ride through some of these sanctions."

Somebody was saying the same thing last Sunday Morning. 

Yup.

Plus they don't have a national debt. None.

I look like a a "former director for European affairs at the U.S. National Security Council." to you?

It's the reason Blinken isn't saying what were gonna do if they do invade Ukraine. Cause there's nothing we can really do. Theses guys (Russians) or their actors, can cripple our electric grid and Biden and Blinken and lots of others know it. They're just trying to make it seem like everything is just the same old status quo as always but its not. This is the first time in my lifetime Russia has came forth and just absolutely demanded things first in negotiations. And they've been downright gleeful about it at times. 

Why?

Because they can cripple the grid, perform financial sector cyber attacks etc...The Solar winds attack is still ongoing for goodness sakes.

Sayin it before the experts...

Out here in my own lil desert Lucy :-). 

Not much longer honey. I love you so much sweetheart.

My

 

first "intercessory" prayer.

:-).

LORD of earth and sky. We stand in awe and wonder of your creation daily. Help us to hear the silent speech of the heavens as they pour out your glory nightly. Our humble wish is to be a special people, set apart, at a special place, in a special moment in time. Father our world is in such darkness as many have never seen. We seek knowledge as we know all is working to your glory. We seek understanding as we know you alone are in control. God of the Angel Armies, only you  are worthy of honor and praise and worship. Amen.

Opening prayer for Sunday.

I love you honey.

You

 

can keep on with the Lion in the stars bit :-).

Digin' that stuff:-)

Yup.

Happy

 

Birthday Buddy :-).

TTYS I'm sure.

I love you. 

Miss you.

Have a great day.

Hey

 

honey...

I love you baby...

My Queen

Well

 

no s*&@ Sherlock.

People are running out of money

As the oceans go so goes life on the planet. Ocean calcification has been a part of the last four extention events the earth has suffered through. It doesn't matter if you think it's a myth, or if you think it's man made or not, the fact is it's happening.

Hottest ocean temperatures in history recorded last year

"Estimates of future carbon dioxide levels, based on business as usual emission scenarios, indicate that by the end of this century the surface waters of the ocean could have acidity levels nearly 150 percent higher, resulting in a pH that the oceans haven’t experienced for more than 20 million years."

What is Ocean Acidification?

I would say better late than never, but unfortunately? It's already to late. People who study such things and anticipate crises in other countries say that about 18 months after a populace has been "radicalized" armed conflict usually results. I told my son this right after becoming aware of it.  Upper Middle class persons, educated business leaders, and small business owners buying into conspiracy theories as well as preachers of the gospel buying into down right lies are evidence of such a populace. Fanaticism has gone mainstream basically. Thrown in some untamed inflation, some pandemic fatigue and a bunch more factors? It's not hard to tell where it's all heading.

The Justice Department will create a domestic terrorism unit to counter rising threats

The good news is...There is an eternity of peace that awaits for you if you can muster the courage to see the truth that is being presented to you daily.

 

"Suddenly

 

I turned around and she was standin' there

With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair

She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm..."

It's actually about Wisdom, every instance where he says "her"

Good listen. 

Great song.

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood

When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud

(Sound like right now to anybody?)

I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form

(I am not who I once was anymore)

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

 

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured

I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word

In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved

Everything up to that point had been left unresolved

Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail

Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail

Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there

With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair

She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost

I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed

Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount

(Circuit riders anybody?)

But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts

And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove

And old men with broken teeth stranded without love

Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose

I offered up my innocence I got repaid with scorn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line

Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine

If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born

(See yesterdays post about wisdom being female)

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Anyway...point is everything always points me back to him/us/ whats going on etc...

Goodness...

It just happened again. Welcome to my world :-).

"Mother, mother

There's too many of you crying

Brother, brother, brother

There's far too many of you dying

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today, yeah

Father, father

We don't need to escalate

You see, war is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Talk to me

So you can see

Oh, what's going on (What's going on)

What's going on (What's going on)

What's going on (What's going on)

What's going on (What's going on)

Right on, baby

Right on, baby

Right on

Mother, mother

Everybody thinks we're wrong

Oh, but who are they to judge us

Simply 'cause our hair is long

Oh, you know we've got to find a way

To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Come on talk to me

So you can see

What's going on (What's going on)

Yeah, what's going on (What's going on)

Tell me what's going on (What's going on)

I'll tell you, what's going on (What's going on)

Right on, baby, right on

Right on, baby

Right on, baby, right on

I love you baby.

Yup...

 

Psalm 139:4-6

Before a word is on my tongue

    you, Lord, know it completely.

You hem me in behind and before,
    and you lay your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

    too lofty for me to attain.

"Sunshine beatin' on the good times

Moonlight raisin' from the grave

Coyote chewing on a cigarette

Pack o' young boys going howlin' at the moon

Hey darlin'!

Sleeping on the blacktop

Hey darlin'!

Running through the trees, honey

Hey darlin'!

Less'n my sense catches up with me

Three dead in a crash on the number 4

Two witnesses below and up high

Not sure whose will be done

You can call me a sinner for wondering why

Hey darlin'!

Sleeping on the blacktop

Hey darlin'!

Running through the trees, honey

Hey darlin'!

Corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town

Could it be it's the same as the last?

I swear I've seen ya face elsewhere before

Just as familiar as a bottle and a glass

RNM absolutely gets it when he sings:

"There aint no hiding place from the father of creation"

I just...run into things like that constantly. 

Theres just never a time its not right there with me.

Revelation 3:12

The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never again leave it.

He's just got me comin and a goin

 

Well, he came from Northern Ireland

Searchin' for the free man's ground

And he came to bet his fortune

On a West Virginia plow

He built a house of timber

And raised a redhead son

Then they worked the land together

And prayed the rain would come

There's a scarecrow in the garden

That looks like Lucifer

And I've been readin' Revelations

With my bare feet in the river

Well, the readhead son got older

And took a brown eyed wife

And the fields were green as dollars

'Cause the dirt was black as night

I came in late September

The youngest one of three

And my sisters off and married

So the land was left to me

There's a scarecrow in the garden

That looks like Lucifer

And I've been readin' Revelations

With my bare feet in the river

I know every single fence post

Every rock to go around

I've been starin' at the red oak

Where I know they'll lay me down

The fields ain't what they once were

The rains just seem to flood

And I've been thinkin' 'bout that river

Wonderin' how it turns to blood

I've been sittin' here all mornin'

I was sittin' here all night

There's a Bible in my left hand

And a pistol in my right.

First of all it's, "the REVELATION of Jesus Christ", not Revelations. Singular, as in one.

Pretty obvious what this song is about. Relax. Aint me.

I see it a different way.

"And I've been thinkin' 'bout that river

Wonderin' how it turns to blood"

Revelation 11:6

They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

I already know my interpretation, have for a while, can't wait to share with everybody :-).

I love you honey.

Hey Baby...

 

I love you honey :-).

hittin all the obscure ones I guess :-)

"We'll shine like stars in the summer night

We'll shine like stars in the winter light

One heart, one hope, one love"

(Additional lyrics that version :-)

Daniel 12:3

Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

Rise up!

 

In a stairway on the stone walk

In a doorstep, golden light

In a cold wind blowing

In the danger, out of the storm

I remain in you

I will recall this storm

This storm recalls you

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

In the lands you have a garden

In the garden it's going dark

In the cold a wind blowing

In the cold wind blowing

I am in this doorway

Feel her in this doorway

Golden hills and golden memories

I follow the ocean wherever it goes

In the doorway I don't know where to start

Emotion in the cold

In the day, darkest night

In the darkest night I know

I stumble in these shoes

Ah, this dark night

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up

Go in the lonely, lone

Loneliness a path to go

Only if you know

Our love helps me know

Your love will help me

Discover you beneath the thing

Only if you know

Only rise up, rise up

"I remain in you"

John 15:4

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

"Feel her in this doorway"

Proverbs 4:8-9

"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Exalt her (wisdom), and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

Proverbs 8:22-31

"I, wisdom, was with the Lord when he began his work, long before he made anything else. I was created in the very beginning, even before the world began. I was born before there were oceans, or springs overflowing with water, before the hills were there, before the mountains were put in place. God had not made the earth or fields, not even the first dust of the earth. I was there when God put the skies in place, when he stretched the horizon over the oceans, when he made the clouds above and put the deep underground springs in place. I was there when he ordered the sea not to go beyond the borders he had set. I was there when he laid the earth's foundation. I was like a child by his side. I was delighted every day, enjoying his presence all the time, enjoying the whole world, and delighted with all its people.

"I follow the ocean wherever it goes"

Habakkuk 2:14

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord

    as the waters cover the sea.

"darkest night

In the darkest night I know"

"In the lands you have a garden

In the garden it's going dark"

Christian mysticism

"The Spanish had Ignatius Loyola, whose Spiritual Exercises were designed to open people to a receptive mode of consciousness in which they can experience God through careful spiritual direction and through understanding how the mind connects to the will and how to weather the experiences of spiritual consolation and desolation; Teresa of Ávila, who used the metaphors of watering a garden and walking through the rooms of a castle to explain how meditation leads to union with God; and John of the Cross, who used a wide range of biblical and spiritual influences both to rewrite the traditional "three ways" of mysticism after the manner of bridal mysticism and to present the two "dark nights": the dark night of the senses and the dark night of the soul, during which the individual renounces everything that might become an obstacle between the soul and God and then experiences the pain of feeling separated from God, unable to carry on normal spiritual exercises, as it encounters the enormous gap between its human nature and God's divine wisdom and light and moves up the 10-step ladder of ascent towards God.

It just kept going through my head and I just kept listening to it and singing the chorus over and over to myself. I didn't even know the lyrics but when I looked them up? As usual it all made sense. It might just be an obscure b-side/out take from a pop record to most.

Not to me. Not anymore.

Rise up!

Indeed.

I love you honey.

This assumes the luxury of time which we simply do not have at this moment. It also assumes our adversaries will just willingly allow us to catch up and leapfrog.

“There are two protests in Kazakhstan,” said Kassymkhan Kapparov, an activist with the Oyan, Qazaqstan (“Wake up, Kazakhstan”) civil rights group. “One was caused by a surge of price for [liquefied petroleum gas] in western Kazakhstan, which is a peaceful demonstration. And what we saw in Almaty is an attack of armed criminals on the city. We have no clue who are these people. Locals would never do such awful things.”

Hypersonic etc

 

(Quotes from the articles are posted above the links to the accompanying articles. Notes not in quotes are my comments.)

 "The technology also has great potential for enhancing weapons capabilities. In April, a hypersonic weapon test by the U.S. Air Force ended in failure. By contrast, China sent a hypersonic missile into orbit in October using technologies that reportedly mystified U.S. officials."

A New Hypersonic Wind Tunnel Will Put China '20 to 30 Years Ahead' of the West

US Military Successfully Tests Its Hypersonic Cruise Missile

"The Month Of Hypersonic Tech Success

"On November 21, Global Times reported that China’s one-meter-class hypersonic aerodynamic wind tunnel, called the FL-64, passed major calibration tests. The tunnel was made by the Aerodynamics Research Institute under the state-owned Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC).

Its objective is to serve China’s aerospace strategy and support the development of hypersonic weapons and equipment. The tunnel’s success in the tests implies that the facility is officially capable of conducting tests for future projects.

"More recently, it was reported that a team of Chinese scientists has developed and tested a prototype hypersonic flight engine that is based on a design that was prepared by a Chinese-born US scientist around 20 years ago and was rejected by NASA. The scientist, Min Han Tang, had proposed the Two-Stage Vehicle (TSV) X-plane.'

A ‘Miracle’ Engine

"The scientists behind the creation of the new hypersonic engine believe that it will help China quicken the pace of large-scale production of hypersonic weapons at a relatively low cost. The manufacturing process will not only lower expenses but will also be able to maintain high quality and performance.

The team also noted that the new manufacturing method allows them to make titanium alloy components. A laboratory test, as well as trials outside of labs, have found that titanium alloy components perform far better than those made using traditional methods.

These components can go “straight from the furnace to the engine assembly line without further processing”"

Big Boost To China’s Hypersonic Technology; Engineers ‘Crack Codes’ Of A Highly Innovative, ‘Miracle’ Engine?

"A statement from US Space Force Lieutenant General Chance Saltzman, the Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Operations, Cyber, and Nuclear during an event, giving a new twist to China’s hypersonic weapon capabilities.

"The Chinese hypersonic weapon, according to Saltzman, has an orbital character, meaning it may stay in orbit indefinitely unless the user decides to deorbit it. This is the most recent piece of official information on this unique technology, which apparently employs a hypersonic glider capable of launching its own projectile in order to carry out a strike."

China Can Station, Launch Nuclear Missiles From Space Without Fear Of Being Intercepted – US Official Suggests

After China’s ‘Hypersonic’ Test, US Alarm And Many Unanswered Questions

"In an exclusive interview with CBS News, General John Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the No. 2 person in the U.S. military, revealed new details of last summer's Chinese hypersonic weapons test, which sent a missile around the world at more than five times the speed of sound.  

"They launched a long-range missile," Hyten told CBS News.  "It went around the world, dropped off a hypersonic glide vehicle that glided all the way back to China, that impacted a target in China."  Asked if it hit the target, Hyten replied, "Close enough." 

"The U.S. is developing its own hypersonic weapons — but not as quickly as China.  Hyten told CBS News that in the last five years, China has carried out hundreds of hypersonic tests, while the U.S. has conducted just nine.  China has already deployed one medium-range hypersonic weapon, while the U.S. is still a few years from fielding its first one, according to Hyten."

"Chinese scientists say they have developed next-generation hypersonic weapons with technical breakthroughs in infrared homing technology – which the US military may not have until 2025.

Heat-seeking capability allows Chinese hypersonic missiles to home in on almost any target – including stealth aircraft, aircraft carriers and moving vehicles on the street – with unprecedented accuracy and speed, according to the researchers."

With effective hypersonic precision strike weapons, the critical value of "strtegic depth"in traditional warfare will no longer exist. all the critical political, economic and military assets of a country will be at risk."

China says it has hypersonic missiles with heat-seeking tech – years before US

Not only do we not have this capability? We don't even have the capability to even do the testing necessary to get it.

"Named the JF-22, the wind tunnel located in the Huairou District in northern Beijing would be able to simulate flights of up to 10 kilometers per second or 30 times the speed of sound, making it the fastest in the world. To recreate such flight conditions, the JF-22 would produce 15 gigawatts or 70% of the power generated by the Three Gorges Dam. 

(This wind tunnel would need to produce 70 % of the power that could be generated by the dam pictured above.)

"Unlike most other existing facilities which use mechanical compressors to generate high-speed airflow, the 265-meter-long wind tunnel relies on chemical explosions. It will offer an operating time of 130 milliseconds per test, over 4 times longer than the US equivalent LENS II.

"Being in possession of the two facilities will put China “about 20 to 30 years ahead” of its competitors, Chinese Academy of Sciences researcher Han Guilai claimed in an online lecture quoted by the South China Morning Post."

"The Chinese military already fielded several hypersonic weapons, such as the DF-17 and DF-21 ballistic missiles. Russia with the Zircon and Kinzhal missiles has also been at the vanguard of hypersonic weapon development."

China to inaugurate “world’s fastest” hypersonic wind tunnel

My buddy's step son was telling us last week how International Harvester faltered as a company because they believed their products were so far above everybody else's that no one could ever catch them. This family collects their tractors and other products etc and he has an extensive knowlege of that company. In short, their executives arrogance led to their companies demise to due a failure to invest in research and development.

How is that any different from our country deciding not to invest in Hypersonic technologies years ago when other countries already were? We just never believed it would amount to anything (Hypersonic technologies).

Opps.

What were the sins of your sister Sodom again?

Ezekiel 16:49...

“‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned

Reminds me of:

Daniel 2:40-43

Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

What we've been doing to others can now be done to us basically. And it was our country's arrogance and greed that got us to this point.

My barber buddy brought up a good point, "But what can I do about it?" Nothing...but rejoice...like Brother Brian said, "this is the time that the prophets of old wanted to see but didn't."

My contention is simply this: If you know whats coming? It's easier to prepare for it, psychologically, spiritually, etc.

To use a football analogy, you don't have your defense prepare for a wishbone offense when your next opponent runs four and five wide receiver sets with their offense. If you do? You might get caught a lil off guard. 

It's a post tribulation rapture or I wouldn't have been showing you whats going to be expected of true believers when the time comes. Just trying to minimize the shock value when things do happen, thats all. Pretty simple stuff really.

I love you honey.

"Run

 

away my son, see it all, oh see the world..."

Happening.

Morning

 

my sunshine. My light of my life.

I love you baby.

Went

 

to my buddys and his friend was there.

I'm impressed. 

It wasn't what I was expecting at all. My buddy either.

Kudos and a tip of the hat sir. Nicely played.

Thank you.

To him and his wife, handling things as bad as they were.

Just had enough.

Dont know what else to say...

I love you honey

Brain is a lil frazzeled to say the least.

At least its only ever 4 years as opposed to every four days like it was back in the day :-).

Yup...

Talk to you soon baby.

AM..

"And

 

I roll

like I roll..."

Well lets see here...

If we do finally make it to the big event?

You've lost your rights to have any say about the following for the next 9 years:

Christmas Eve

Christmas

Thanksgiving

My Birthday

Your Birthday

Our anniversary

New Years Eve

New Years Day

Super bowl Sunday.

Christmas Eve and Christmas day will be us by ourselves where we choose to be.

If others wanna come by later on Christmas day that's fine but Christmas morning is ours. Period.

I didn't go through all this shit to just have to share you with everybody else. Particularly on special days. Just not gonna happen. Non negotiable. Deal breaker. Run now. Lord knows you ought to be good at it by now sweetheart.

Oh, and its kind of hard to beat somebody that don't mind dying and doesn't have anything to loose. Seems to me like that's the last person you'd wanna mess with at this point.

Let it be known you don't want your gifts going up in flames and I'll stop. Im not the one making this decision you did. 

Until told otherwise? I might need some marshmellows...:-)

If you're gonna get stupid? I'll get stupider, promise, it kinda comes a lil easier for me than you :-). Some reason...can't quite figure it out :-).

and let buddys friend know he will be compensated.

Kinda

 

"The insanity I live in is knowing what people are up to without them telling me and then they freak out not being able to accept the facts that have been so obviously displayed right in front of them. People shouldn't act like I don't know what weve done for them without them telling me. Accept that I do know, and were all good, act like I shouldn't/cant know etc and were gonna butt heads. I can hear Brother Brian off in the background saying "It's not that complicated!" People don't need to tell me what I already know, so my advice is don't act like I don't know what we've done. It's insulting to me and its insulting to God who gave me the spiritual gifts I have. Whether it's an off the cuff comment about saving up for children's college education when I know we've already taken care of that, or a hat rack/key hanger, or a meeting that gets blown off for no reason, or inviting someone to your home only because you have false intentions/ulterior motives in your heart. 

goes right with:

Daniel 12:10

Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

1 Corinthians 2:14

The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

Jude 

10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.
