Jesus is indeed a figure who stands out in history and theology for several unique attributes and claims:
Divine Claims: Jesus made remarkable claims about His divinity and relationship with God. He referred to Himself as the "Son of God" and often spoke of God as His Father. These claims set Him apart from other religious figures.
Miracles: According to the New Testament, Jesus performed numerous miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, and turning water into wine. These acts were seen as signs of His divine authority and power.
Teachings: Jesus' teachings, as recorded in the Gospels, emphasized love, forgiveness, and compassion. His Sermon on the Mount, in particular, is considered a profound ethical and moral teaching.
Resurrection: One of the most distinctive aspects of Jesus' life and belief among Christians is His resurrection. According to Christian faith, Jesus was crucified, died, and rose from the dead on the third day. This event is central to the Christian belief in salvation and eternal life.
Impact on History: Jesus' life and teachings have had a profound and enduring impact on human history. Christianity, founded on His teachings and resurrection, has become one of the world's major religions, influencing art, culture, ethics, and philosophy for centuries.
Global Following: Jesus has a unique and unparalleled following worldwide. Billions of people across different cultures and centuries have considered Him their Lord and Savior. The spread of Christianity and the devotion of its followers are remarkable.
Moral Exemplar: Many people, even those from different religious backgrounds or those who don't identify as religious, admire Jesus as a moral and ethical exemplar. His teachings on love, forgiveness, and humility continue to resonate with people seeking guidance in their lives.
Sacrificial Love: The concept of Jesus willingly sacrificing Himself for the redemption of humanity is a central theme in Christian theology. His crucifixion is seen as the ultimate act of selflessness and love.
While there have been other religious and spiritual leaders throughout history, Jesus' unique combination of divine claims, teachings, miracles, and the belief in His resurrection make Him a figure unlike any other. The belief in Jesus being alive, as affirmed by Christians, is a fundamental tenet of their faith and sets Him apart as a living presence in the lives of believers.
Another n a future world dominated by AI and Deep Fakes, the landscape of online dating has undergone a radical transformation, reminiscent of a dystopian scenario straight out of the Terminator universe.
1. The Rise of AI Matchmakers: AI has evolved to become the ultimate matchmaker, analyzing vast datasets of personal information and preferences to connect individuals with uncanny precision. These AI matchmakers, reminiscent of Skynet's calculating efficiency, promise to find the perfect partner for every user, eliminating the need for the tedious process of swiping and messaging.
2. Deep Fake Romance: However, the shadows of deception loom large as Deep Fakes have infiltrated the realm of online dating. Users now grapple with the constant uncertainty of whether the charming profile picture and eloquent messages are genuine or cunningly crafted by AI-driven imposters. The line between human and machine, like the T-800's synthetic skin, blurs.
3. Love Algorithms vs. Human Connection: As AI algorithms dictate the course of romance, genuine human connection becomes a rarity. People struggle to distinguish between authentic emotions and AI-generated responses, questioning whether love is real or merely a simulation. The quest for love, once a deeply personal journey, has been mechanized, akin to the cold efficiency of the Terminator's killing machines.
4. Privacy Invasion: The all-knowing AI matchmakers collect and analyze every aspect of users' lives, much like the relentless pursuit of information by the futuristic robots in the Terminator series. Personal boundaries have eroded, and the concept of privacy is almost extinct. Users are constantly under surveillance, their every move and preference monitored.
5. Resistance and Hope: In this grim future, a resistance of individuals yearning for genuine connections has emerged, echoing the resistance against the machines in the Terminator saga. They seek to break free from the control of AI matchmakers and Deep Fake manipulations, striving to rediscover the warmth and authenticity of human love.
In this Terminator-esque future of online dating dominated by AI and Deep Fakes, the quest for love has become a battleground between the cold efficiency of technology and the enduring human desire for genuine connection. The line between reality and simulation blurs, leaving individuals to question whether love can truly exist in a world where machines dictate the course of romance.
In Vladivostok this week, the 'Russian Far East' was on full, glorious display. Russia, China, India, and the Global South were all there to contribute to this trade, investment, infrastructure, transportation, and institutional renaissance.
You confused Trump with Biden. Biden freed the slaves and helped G. Washington cross the Delaware, all showing off his silky legs so the revolutionaries could touch them and feel the smoothness.
Well my Meth smoking Gay half of a couple will be having another yard sale and he totally freaked the last time. Plus he had a Psychotic break last week where he thought he ran over his cat. They have money. So it should be a fun weekend.
But you did something similar with Trumps wife in one of your comments. Basically you are a hypocrite.
Stars fixing things right here. Then help FREE JULIAN and end the US occupation and OIL theft in Syria. Sure Trump didn't find you noticeable so you are angry, like any woman.
Our briefing, ‘“It’s not just a crisis, it’s a national emergency”: Addressing the challenges in social care’, presented the results of a survey of our members regarding the impact of social care on the NHS. Many of the 50+ leaders surveyed said care pressures are driving urgent care demand, with a lack of social care capacity having an impact on their ability to tackle the elective care backlog. 100 per cent of NHS leaders agreed there is a crisis in the social care workforce, with a subsequent impact on patient care and safety. Action is needed now.
The social care sector requires appropriate resource and a sustainable workforce, with pay parity with the NHS. The work of the National Care Service Expert Group and consideration of a national care service does provide an opportunity to address issues in the sector and improve system integration. Health inequalities and cost-of-living
Health inequalities – unfair and avoidable differences in health and access to healthcare across the population, and between different groups within society – have long been an issue, but have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising cost-of-living. The cost-of-living crisis is likely to increase health inequalities across communities, leading to a rise in poverty and ill health, putting more people out of work and placing a greater strain on the NHS, social care, housing organisations and the third sector.
The NHS alone does not have all the levers to reduce these inequalities, which is why we need to shift the focus from public health initiatives delivered through the NHS and local authorities to addressing factors such as poor housing, transport and food quality. As highlighted in the Welsh NHS Confederation Health and Wellbeing Alliance report, ‘Mind the gap: what’s stopping change?’, addressing the factors that cause ill health in the first place should be a central focus for the UK Government, Welsh Government and local government – a whole a cross-government and public service approach to inequalities is needed.
So what you tried to hit on Trump and he ignored you? So much hatred for a person you don't know and lives literally thousands of miles away. meanwhile tour own country is invoiced in killing hundred of thousand of people for the MIC profits. Fix your own nation. Lead bny example. Why aren't you interested in the fact Hunter use sex trafficked underage women? Jimmy Saville fan?
Not when Biden pushes for WW3. History becomes new and improved. It takes less than a generation to manipulate people into believing something. And I'm not even talking about the already thirty percent diehard puppets on either side. One of my big problems is the US is pushing for WW3, Julian is still in prison, the media is being manipulated and everyone is openly spying on everyone else. But Trump is the ONLY major concern of people outside the us? I would worry about those nice Russian Hypersonic missiles or their underwater tsunami torpedoes blowing the shit. out of my country. And I don';t even like Truimp, didn't vote for him. But I can tell you that every regular person I spoke to voted for him. Normal working lass people. Now they are all crazed terrorists by definition. Dehumanize, demonize then destroy. Fix your own nations and lead by example.
Trump is the most discussed candidate getting free press. Even the mug shot is making him money. The best thing would be if everyone would just shut up about him. You know the way they do about RFK jr.
Are you naive enough to think Biden has any control? The money was gifted while he was VP and included his family. ( Actually since he started politics but odds are knowing hjow corrupt Delaware is well before, you know befor he let those kids touch his legs and pissed off corn pop) The family have been corrupt since the beginning of when Biden ran the uinderground railraod for Abraham Lincoln, before he hammered the golden spike. Do you NOT understand politics, rich people and shell companies? Don't play annoying games here. It doesn't place you in a better light.
Earlier this year, the NYT reported that Hollywood entertainment lawyer Kevin 'bong rip' Morris lent over $2 million to Biden to help with his taxes.
Of note, an IRS whistleblower from the agency's criminal investigations unit told the House Ways and Means Committee in June that Hunter Biden illegally deducted tens of thousands of dollars spent on prostitutes and a sex club from his taxes, according to testimony from June 1 which was released by House Republicans.
"So some of the items that he deducted were personal no-show employees. He deducted payments that were made to who he called his West Coast assistant, but she was essentially a prostitute," said the whistleblower, who worked directly on the IRS's investigation into Hunter's tax issues, speaking of the younger Biden's 2018 return.
Another whistleblower, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapely , told the committee on May 26 that he found several instances of Hunter expensing flights for prostitutes.
"There were multiple examples of prostitutes that were ordered basically, and we have all the communications between that where he would pay for these prostitutes, would book them a flight where even the flight ticket showed their name. And then he expensed those," said Shapely , who noted that they were expensed to Biden's consulting firm, Owasco, PC.
What's more, Hunter expensed a deposit for an elite Los Angeles sex club (which he was kicked out of for 'grabbing women's asses' and 'acting like a spoiled child').
But hey, he also owned a gun while being a junkie. Get 'em boys.
Hunter Biden has been indicted on three counts related to the possession of a gun while using narcotics, court documents show. As Techno Fog notes via The Reactionary;
Here is the indictment, and here are the charges which all relate to the same 2018 purchase of a handgun:
Count 1:
In October 2018, in connection with the purpose of a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver, Hunter Biden knowingly made a false statement, “certifying he was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance, when in fact, as he knew, that statement was false and fictitious.” This is in violation of 18 USC sections 922(a)(6) and 924(a)(2).
Count 2:
In October 2018, in connection with the purpose of a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver, Hunter Biden made a knowingly false statement to the company that sold him the gun “certifying he was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance, when in fact, as he knew, that statement was false and fictitious.” This was in violation of 18 USC section 924(a)(1)(A).
Count 3:
In October 2018, Hunter Biden possessed the Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver “knowing that he was an unlawful user of and addicted to any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance” as defined under the US Code. This was in violation of 18 USC sections 922(g)(3) and 924(a)(2).
Here’s the issue - with the plea deal falling, through, is the original diversion agreement still valid? Hunter Biden’s attorneys think so. In response to the Weiss’s notice to the court that he would seek the grand jury indictment, Biden’s attorneys responded that the agreement was still in effect and that “Mr. Biden has been and will continue to follow the conditions of that Agreement.”

The move, a "historic indictment against the son of a sitting president," comes after an absurd plea deal fell apart, and days after House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry which seeks bank records and other documents on the Biden family's business dealings.
The case is being overseen by special counsel David Weiss, who also headed the investigation. Weiss is a Trump appointee who was kept on as U.S. attorney for Delaware because of the sensitive and unique nature of the investigation into a president's son by the Justice Department, a part of the executive branch headed by the president. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland named Weiss special counsel in August, as negotiations over the tax and gun charges collapsed.
Of course, none of this has to do with perhaps the biggest grift in the US history - as the Biden family raked in more than $20 million from foreign sources - including figures in China, Ukraine, Russia and Romania, all funneled through a complex arrangement of corporations, according to House GOP investigators and whistleblowers who are currently seeking Biden bank records.
For example, in 2017, Hunter pulled in over $2.3 million - with $1 million of that coming from a company he formed with the CEO of a Chinese conglomerate. He also took in $664,000 from a Chinese infrastructure investment firm, $500,000 from a Ukrainian energy company (we assume to be Burisma), $70,000 from a Romanian business, $48,000 from an international law firm, and $666,000 from domestic business interests.
In 2018, Hunter made over $2.1 million according to the unraveled plea deal - which came as his drug addiction went critical. According to Biden's memoir, cited by the document, that year saw "a spring and summer of nonstop debauchery."
Remember Ruby Ridge, MOVE and those poor people in Texas? The Biden show has been great though. Best reality tv ever, corruption, drug addiction, stripper babies, incest, open graft and corruption. Plus the bonus of watching his handlers utterly destroy the EU and pretty soon turn the world into smoking radioactive ruins. All to avoid a REAL election and the ongoing depression and third wold banana republic slide the US is in. The Trump indictments remind me of how Clinton bombed an aspirin factory to get everyone mind off the splooge on a dress.
I offer this. Back when Joe was a racist he had brain surgery. People often have impulse and s*xual control issues after brain damage. I cut Joe a break on the kid hair smelling, and banging his nanny Dr. Jill for that reason. I cut Hunter a break because he was the loser son trying to be dominant, banging his dead brothers wife and a niece. Joes handlers though, they deserve to be jailed.
Now what nation will be experiencing Russia's return compliments? At least Prince Andy gets off the sex offender list. Poor Julian, could have been freed if so many people didn't have TDS.
Ukraine Used British Cruise Missiles In Devastating Sevastopol Attack, UK Confirms
"This week's major Ukrainian attack on the Russian port of Sevastopol in Crimea was likely the largest strike on Russian naval targets since the war's start.
Significantly, the UK's Sky News has confirmed that British-supplied long range missiles were used in the overnight Sept. 12-13 attack which likely damaged a Russian submarine and warship. "A Ukrainian and a Western source said that British Storm Shadow cruise missiles were deployed," Sky News reports."
Just pop into Moon Of Alabama every now and then both sides are represented there. Mostly Europeans as far as I can tell. Otherwise it boils down to cartel like money laundering and governments getting rid of old useless weapons so they can line their pockets with brand new MIC purchases. Plus they don't need to actually decommission those old useless weapons. And they testing ground for both sides new and improved weapons. So far the Russians have the best. The US is also trying to destroy the EU by forcing them away from Russia, like making them purchase much more expensive LNG. Sadly though when they force WW3 to avoid having a real 2024 election, up most of the world goes in smoke. So start rewashing the original Mad max films.
For those who don't know Marco Polo had to "sanitize" the Hunter pictures because it would be illegal for the average person to view child porn. Wrap your head around that double standard.
Hunter Biden Sues Former Trump WH Aide Who Published Laptop Contents
"In response, Ziegler told CBS News: "I nor the nonprofit, Marco Polo, have been served with a lawsuit — but the one I read this morning out of the Central District of California should embarrass Winston & Strawn LLP. It's not worth the paper it's written on," adding "Apart from the numerous state and federal laws and regulations which protect authors like me and the publishing that Marco Polo does, it's not lost on us that Joe's son filed this SLAPP one day after a so-called Impeachment Inquiry into his father was announced. The president's son is a disgrace to our great nation.""
"nevitaby there will be both nefarious actions and frivolous accusations of politically motivated play, such is human nature. To bring a weak, chaotic case is utterly foolishly leaving yourself wide open to those very challenges.
The reason why accusations about Trump's legal charges being politically motivated are falling flat is because those indictments have been structured so well. All the frivolous counter-suing by the Republican defendents is getting them nowhere. It's like watching a frustrated two year old trying to beat down a calm parent."
What world do you live in? can't you just sit outside Belmarsh with a FREE JULIAN sign?
The Biden family are gifting idiots. Original Trump supporters will not vote for him again and most think RFK jr is the better choice. The Biden family have always been gritters and thieves.
I do so enjoy how a Brit can criticize US politics and people they don't personally know before getting their own politics in order. I am no fan of Trump or either party, well they are one now. But the Biden reality show has everything from incest, drug abuse, political corruption and out right gifting, to dementia and pissing away money to start WW3 just as a means of avoiding depression and actually attempting to win an election. When you get your own nations running optimally then feel free to involve yourselves in the rest of the world. Lead by example. For the record, MAGA involved a LOT of normal people who were disgusted with US politics. Trump was the FIRST president since Eisenhower who was neither a governor nor senator. And Dwight warned about the MIC. But he was still a general who killed millions of German soldiers AFTER they had surrendered. Trump did three things I actually respected, other than the supreme court appointments and beating down every attack on his character and family. First he passed an EO to investigate human trafficking and child molestation. Guess what since then tens of thousands of people have been arrested world wide for those crimes and a massive number of children and human trafficked people have been freed, Second he passed an EO investigating the deaths of Indigenous women. Third he passed an EO that cat and dog meat can not be used in US products, including pet food. Despite all the present propaganda Trump will go down in History as one of the best US presidents. Now share some videos of Black and Hispanic MAGA voters? Or the recent released new full videos filmed in the capitol showing how the police actually guided people around and opened doors. But first put your own governments in order, You know make them work for the people instead of the corrupt few at the top. Unlike most of you I have spent DECADES watching US politics ( Paying attention to both sides of any topic and deciding for myself instead of merely accepting what is fed to me by compromised media) and always voted Third Party starting with Barry Commoner and later Nader. Now with RFK jr I may vote again.
