Theseus

One issue, there is actually strong contention Jesus was not crucified on a Friday; rather he died on a Wednesday and resurrected three days and three nights later, on a Saturday. I actually am in the Wednesday crowd for there is not enough time between the time he was taken down from the cross and entombed to his resurrection on Sunday. Two articles explain the stance: 1) favors Wednesday and 2) favors Friday. These are interesting articles and these differences should be noted when the Bible Code is looked at because the argument stems from how Jesus/Yeshua (definitely not Isa) explains when he will be resurrected. This comes from the tale of Jonas earlier told in the Bible where Jonas was inside the whale Three days and Three nights. Also Leviticus tells us the days of the Holy Sabbaths. John tells us that Mary went to the tomb when it was dark and the stone was removed before she arrived. So there are some discrepancies with the actual day of the week in which he died and was resurrected. However if you go back three days and three nights from how John describes the story, one cannot come to the conclusion Jesus was crucified on Friday as it makes no sense given the other verses found within the Bible. One of the major issues is how we are very much removed from that time in history and how we view the calendar and how they viewed the calendar has very much changed in that time. The reason I am for the Wednesday theory is Good Friday is more a day of convenience for Church goers on Sunday. Take Christmas for example and the controversy surrounding that as it falls in December for most of the christian world but for the orthodoxy Christmas falls in January. This is the day of birth. No one rightly knows so is this too a day of convenience given and mandated by the Holy Roman Catholic Church? If no one actually knows, can it then follow Good friday is also a day of convenience mandated by the Holy Roman Catholic Church? The Bible tells us so. However, we must also realize when dealing with the Bible Code, not just with the Birth, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus, the Bible itself is not wholly formed. Thus we must look at the version of the Bible we are using. Are we using the Catholic version or the Protestant version in which two books appear in the former but not the latter. When dealing with the Bible code, we must not conflate our individual beliefs and what we have been taught with what the Code is showing us. This is difficult at times as you have so eloquently illustrated and the controversies not only surrounding the actual resurrection and the birth but with other controversies surrounding the Biblical times. To postulate the birth one day will yield a different result in the Bible Code if we postulate the birth on a different day. These differing results is why when looking at the Bible Code, we must take into accounts the controversies and their conclusions. Another reason why so many give up on the Bible Code or only run it according to their beliefs and conclusions. There is just not enough time in the world to run through all the different scenarios required to make actual sense out of all the possibilities the Bible Code has. Maybe god wanted it that way and then again, maybe not.

Revaluation 12 is a special book. Critics say that the book is an elusive novel. Others claim it to be a scam. However, in the codex of the book can be found in the great halls of Babylon. Revaluation 12 is made up of chapters or some might venture the chapters are like articles. Currently, the author has only written as far as Chapter 4 but has plans on writing Article 8. The author claims Revaluation 12 will talk about the aftermath of Chapter 8 in which Job takes center stage. Job discusses his trials and tribulations and how the rapture from Chapter 8 moved him and the prophecies of the so-called prophets which came before Chapter 8 spoke in false tongues. Job talks about the patience he endured as the rapture crept upon him and all the nations of the world. Like a stillness in the wind, Job recalls the time when many false prophets proclaimed the coming but soon was all anyone heard. Job with all his incredulity attributes the coming rapture to a spiritual awakening as his world changed. He speaks of long nights of where the yellow glow of the candle fire and the brimstone of his chair he sat upon tore at his very soul. Tomorrow they said, today they said, but always the word from on high was soon. And the word of revaluation was the word. In the beginning and in the end the word will forever be the word, soon. Job a special man recants his journey in Revaluation 12 and we are forever more quoth the raven.

I used to have a program that searched through like 15 different versions in different languages for the Bible Code. One day I entered supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, (hum diddle diddly eh, that's the hardest word you'll ever have to say... yeah try spelling it..without a spell checker on....go on!) I got very interesting results to say the least. Now I am gonna have to check the Quatrains to see if anything shows up.

Shh... don't say that too out loud. Before the ISIS debacle, Article 140 was declared a done deal here. To be implementing the final, final, final, <gasp> final step of Article 140 can't be according to some. Why? You might ask. Because its already implemented.

If it is connected to the internet, it can be externally hacked. If a human created it, a human can break it. Nothing, I repeat nothing, in this world today is completely hack proof. The best thing to do is to set up confidential information on a system that does not connect to the internet. Or go back to paper files. Paper files are much harder to hack but they too can be hacked.

The Iraq National Oil Company (INOC) was founded in 1966 from passage of a law. Since then the INOC has continued to exist in various forms. The 2007 Draft Iraq Oil and Gas Law states it will formally disband the INOC and recreate it with new oil ministries. However what Iraq has today is not a national oil company rather a "...North Oil Company, South Oil Company and Oil Exploration Company, as well as a drilling division and a crude oil division at ministry headquarters. It stipulated that the oil minister will replace the board of directors of INOC wherever the latter is mentioned in all applicable legislations and regulations" More can be found in a September 2009 MEES journal article written by Ruba Husari detailing the history of the INOC from a political perspective.

If you could afford the ACA mandated plan, then the high cost of the deductible put ever accessing the plan into the stratosphere. Just because a ACA may be 300 dollars does not give the full picture. A 300 dollar plan with a 12K dollar deductible per family member is what makes the ACA very unaffordable to the majority of the people. In the end if the deductible is so high that the insurance can never be used it is the same thing as paying for out-of-pocket healthcare. To those who think the VA Healthcare is any better think again. Or that Canada's or Britain's healthcare is any better. The real story behind all of this is what isn't being said. Hospitals and others that provide health care have two menus to choose from. If you choose the insurance menu, you get the insurance price for the services. If you choose the cash and carry price, the cost is so much cheaper. However, with very few people being able to pay out-of-pocket for their healthcare, they have relied on the pre-ACA healthcare model for a long time. This is why the invention of HSAs were so warranted. The only problem with the HSAs was that if the money wasn't used by the end of the year you lost it. This caused problems because one could only save for what they needed that year. If this mandate of losing your money at the end of the year were to be removed, more individuals would be in favor of HSAs provided that they could take advantage of the out-of-pocket price for their healthcare services. Then the only thing remaining would be what would happen upon death to the HSA. While this may seem like a single payer system, it is in addition to the pre-ACA system. They could keep a few things such as the pre-existing stance. However get rid of the stay on until 26 policy. If by 22 they have not either joined the military or graduated from school with a bachelor degree then they need to be out working provided we get rid of the H1=B Visa crap as well. And yes Victoria, Healthcare for all is a fantasy, if that means we have to pay for everyone's healthcare, including our own.

Once it is proven, they can't disprove it therefore no defense is necessary. However, they will defend the corrupt individuals until it is proven. Stupid is as stupid does.

Going to say something like this:

A better video:

And for those who don't know about this incident here is an article describing it: (Yep McLame caused the Forrestal fire!) McCAIN THE HERO NEARLY SUNK AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER & KILLED 134 SAILORS Via Lew Rockwell McCain, when a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy was a Navy pilot (they call themselves aviators). July 29, 1967 while on the deck and in his plane on the carrier U.S.S. Forrestal he managed to screw up procedures (officially denied and covered up by him and the Navy and also even promoted on Wikipedia if you care to look–reason to follow). He did a smart ass punk attention getting trick by doing a “wet start” up of his jet. When a pilot wants to be a wise ass or show off, this type of engine start creates a large startling flame and lots of surprise noise from the rear of a jet engine on start up–this was no accident. This and the large subsequent electrical surge and apparent (incorrect and against policy) weapon arming (by the pilot) caused the launching of a powerful Zuni rocket across the carrier’s deck hitting other parked planes (photo below) that were packing 1,000 high-explosive pound bombs. The subsequent massive explosions, fire and destruction went several decks below and nearly sunk this major 82,000 ton U.S. aircraft carrier. This stunt and aftermath caused the death of 134 sailors and seriously injure (blow off arms legs, cause blindness and burns to another 161 sailors) and took the ship off the battle line for extensive repairs. Any other Navy pilot causing this type of death and destruction the Navy would have raped him and he would probably still be in the brig. Why not McCain? Well, first with many powerful connections this “little infraction” was covered up by the Navy (our most politically involved/connected service by the way). You see his grandfather was a famous FOUR STAR Navy admiral and his dad was at the time of the incident was a powerful Navy FOUR STAR admiral and McCain graduated from the Navy Academy. So the old boy Navy tradition cover his ass network went into high gear immediately; and make no mistake, it does exist and it did for him.

If you think that is fun, here is the same ship on July 29, 1967 (this incident changed the Navy forever. I saw this video in boot camp and will never forget it.)

Loesch (pronounced Lash) is both on television and radio. She has her own radio show for awhile now. Before Trump was elected Loesch signed on with Blaze TV a Glen Beck outlet. The Blaze was formed after Beck was fired from FOX NEWS. She signed on with the Never Trumpers and put her John Hancock along with the other RINOs including Beck. She found out it took her nowhere. FOX NEWS only gives her airplay because 1) she is a syndicated radio show host 2) she fights for second amendment rights as a woman and 3) they don't have her as a host because she won't change her hair color and her temperament as evidenced by her radio show is to whiney that and she signed on with a Loon.

So you go to bed before 10PM thanks for letting us know Shabs.

Loesch may have the body of an angel but she sided with Loony Toon Beck.Her mind is in question. She also orchestrated a coup d'etat over Rush Limbaugh. She would eat her own children if it meant being on the radio and television. She espouses all the right principles but she will eat her own to espouse them. She is no more than a RINO in the making by selling her soul to the Company Store.. Besides I can't stand her when she goes ape-crap batty and starts yelling and the pitch of her voice goes into the upper stratosphere. My dog starts howling and the birds take flight. I swear somewhere wine glasses are breaking. I would rather listen to her scrape her nails down a chalkboard than to listen to her nagging high pitched voice.

Italy could soon become the first Western country to offer paid “menstrual leave” to female workers. The proposed law is currently being debated in the country’s parliament. If passed, it would mandate that companies enforce a “menstrual leave” policy and offer three paid days off each month to working women who experience painful periods. Health experts and local media outlets have praised the proposal, saying it was a step in the right direction and would shed light on the silent plight of women suffering from debilitating cramps that can sometimes affect their ability to work. The Italian version of Marie Claire described it as “a standard-bearer of progress and social sustainability.” But the bill also has critics, including women who fear this sort of measure could backfire and end up stigmatizing them. Writing in Donna Moderna, another women’s magazine, Lorenza Pleuteri argued that if women were granted extra paid leave, employers would be even more reluctant to hire women, in a country where women already struggle to integrate the workforce. In fact, due to enduring cultural stereotypes, Italy has one of the lowest rates of female labor participation in the workforce , with a staggering one in four women getting fired just before or after getting pregnant, according to the Italian National Institute for Statistics. Miriam Goi, a feminist writer, made a similar point in Vice Italy. She fears that rather than breaking taboos about women’s menstrual cycle, the measure could end up perpetuating the idea that women are more emotional than men and require special treatment. The bill was presented to the lower house of Italy’ Parliament on March 13th and could become law in a matter of weeks. Menstrual leave is already a legal right for women in other countries, including South Korea and Japan, where it was made law 60 years ago. A number of private companies, including Nike, have also introduced a similar policy. - NOTE: Didn't I read somewhere men also menstruate? If so, Italy needs to include men on this as well! Since is proven scientific fact that men go through menstruation as well! Sign me up, baby!

And ratings is what makes the money. Any news director or television station not concerned with ratings is nothing but a government subsidized radio and television station. Ratings are what sets the price for spots and spots are the money makers for a television station. News is one of the biggest draws to advertisers because more people watch news than they do any other programming. In radio, again ratings matter combined with TSL. Hannity is good for Fox News Television and Radio because he has the highest ratings which draws in the advertisers. The advertisers are willing to pay top dollar for their spot to be aired during the Hannity shows. At least Hannity has never pulled a raving mad cow Maddow stunt to get ratings. That should have cost her job. Even Shaky "I'm Gonna Wet MY Pants" Matthews has never pulled a stunt like Raving Mad Cow Maddow in the name of news.

Hannity had a show with a gentleman who recently passed away and was a shrill for the left. That is how he got his start with Fox so many years ago. After Colmes demanded to be rid of Hannity did Hannity get his own show. In all actuality if Colmes did not make the demands he did, Hannity would have never been a solo anchor on Fox News. Second, Hannity is not a journalist as he does bring news, albeit, through his opinion, which is not journalism. Hannity will tell you he is not a journalist because he interjects his opinion. Too many people conflate an individual's opinion with the way journalism is suppose to be. It's not and any journalist who says they have the First Amendment right to interject their opinion into their writing cannot be considered a journalist. A journalist is objective and should stand outside of the story. A journalist interjecting biases, such as disparaging adverbs and adjectives, into their piece, the piece becomes an opinion piece not a news story. Many many so-called reporters do this under the auspices of the First Amendment and this is why there is fake news because its not news, it is opinion of the reporter to sway the masses in the direction the reporter/anchor leans. Until news goes back to being objective rather than subjective it will continue to be fake news as opinions are not news. (Disclosure: I used to help write for the six o'clock and saturday news shows. I also edited video packages for the news. I quit after the OKC bombing.) Koppel was once an objective reporter and anchor but as time went on like rather he allowed his personal bias to enter into his stories. I no longer consider him a viable reporter or anchor.

However they could gift it to all of Iraq on June 25, 2017

They better do something before May 26, 2017 or we are going to be waiting until after the 2018 budget is passed.

Iraq suspends Mosul offensive after coalition airstrike atrocity Move comes as international outrage grows over airstrikes that killed at least 150 people in Mosul Jadida neighbourhood Resident of Mosul Jadida retrieve bodies from the rubble following the coalition airstrikes. Photograph: Felipe Dana/AP View more sharing options Shares 6,567 Martin Chulov in Mosul, and Emma Graham-Harrison Saturday 25 March 2017 18.31 EDTFirst published on Saturday 25 March 2017 12.13 EDT Iraqi military leaders have halted their push to recapture west Mosul from Islamic State as international outrage grew over the civilian toll from airstrikes that killed at least 150 people in a single district of the city. The attack on the Mosul Jadida neighbourhood is thought to have been one of the deadliest bombing raids for civilians since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Rescuers were still pulling bodies from the rubble on Saturday, more than a week after the bombs landed, when the US-led coalition confirmed that its aircraft had targeted Isis fighters in the area They carried out the attack on 17 March “at the request of the Iraqi security forces”, and have now launched a formal investigation into reports of civilian casualties, the coalition said. Analysis The west condemned Russia’s bombs – now coalition attacks are killing civilians in Mosul The leaders who denounced Putin for deadly airstrikes in Syria are not speaking out over the siege of the Iraqi city Read more British planes were among those operating in western Mosul at the time. Asked if they could have been involved in the airstrikes, a spokesman did not rule out the possibility of British involvement, saying: “We are aware of reports [of civilian casualties] and will support the coalition investigation.” There had been no reports of a UK role in any civilian casualties in more than two years of fighting Isis, he added. “We have not seen evidence that we have been responsible for civilian casualties so far. Through our rigorous targeting processes we will continue to seek to minimise the risk of civilian casualties, but that risk can never be removed entirely.” A UK report on the 17 March fighting, which was issued just a couple of days later, described “very challenging conditions with heavy cloud”. Tornado jets were sent to “support Iraqi troops advancing inside western Mosul” in intense urban fighting, where crews had to “engage targets perilously close to the Iraqi troops whom they were assisting”. They used Paveway guided missiles to hit five targets. The coalition said in a separate statement it had carried out four airstrikes aimed at “three Isis tactical units”. They destroyed more than 50 vehicles and 25 “fighting positions”. The deaths have intensified concerns over up to 400,000 Mosul residents who are still packed into the crowded western half of the city, as Iraqi security forces backed by foreign air power advance on Isis’s last major stronghold in the country. FacebookTwitterPinterest An Iraqi rescue team searches for bodies in the rubble. Photograph: Cengiz Yar Civil defence workers say they have pulled more than 140 bodies from the ruins of three buildings in Mosul Jadida and believe that dozens more remain under the rubble of one building, a large home with a once cavernous basement, in which up to 100 people had hidden last Friday morning. Advertisement Local people at the site told the Observer that the enormous damage inflicted on the homes and much of the surrounding area had been caused by airstrikes, which battered the neighbourhood in the middle of a pitched battle with Isis members, who were under attack from Iraqi forces. The UN’s humanitarian coordinator in Iraq, Lise Grande, said: “We are stunned by this terrible loss of life.” Chris Woods, director of monitoring group Airwars, said: “The Jadida incident alone is the worst toll of a single [airstrike] incident that I can recall in decades. The coalition’s argument that it doesn’t target noncombatants risks being devalued when so many civilians are being killed in west Mosul.” He warned that the deaths, and other recent attacks in Syria that have claimed dozens of lives, risked turning public sentiment against the coalition. “We have until recently always credited the coalition for taking care to avoid civilian casualties, compared with the Russians. But since the last months of 2016 you have seen this steep climb in ­civilian casualties and public sentiment has turned very sharply against the US-led coalition.” As the scale of the disaster became apparent, Iraqi military sources confirmed that they had been ordered not to launch new operations. The Australian defence force issued a statement on Sunday in response to questions about its involvement. “While there are no specific allegations against Australian aircraft, Australia will fully support the coalition-led (Operation Inherent Resolve) investigation into these allegations.” Mosul Jadida residents said three homes had taken direct hits from airstrikes and others had been damaged by debris and shelling. “They started in the morning and they continued till around 2pm,” said Mustafa Yeheya. “There were Isis on the roof of several of the buildings and they were in the streets fighting. But the strange thing is that the house they were hiding in, their military room, was not even hit. None of their bases was.” Mosul's children were shouting beneath the rubble. Nobody came Read more Journalists were banned from entering west Mosul on Saturday and Iraqi commanders could not be contacted. Iraqi and US forces have previously said that Isis deliberately blended among the civilian population and, in some cases, fighters were posted near civilian targets in a bid to increase casualties and slow the offensive against them. A United States Central Command statement said: “Our goal has always been for zero civilian casualties, but the coalition will not abandon our commitment to our Iraqi partners because of Isis’s inhuman tactics terrorising civilians, using human shields and fighting from protected sites such as schools, hospitals, religious sites and civilian neighbourhoods.” Muawiya Ismael, who said he had lost six members of his clan in the attack, said: “It is true that this was a battle zone and that Isis were here. They had about 15 people in the area, and they were in high positions. But they did not have heavy guns. Nothing that should justify an attack of this scale. It was not in proportion to the threat and soldiers could have fixed this.” Topics Mosul The Observer Iraq US military Middle East and North Africa Islamic State news
