There are many who need to held accountable -- from Fauci to Mehta to Boasberg and more. I want to believe we are in the beginning stages of the justice phase -- the public face of the justice phase. May the punishments be equal to the crimes. Gen Pop in Angola comes to mind. I know that vengeance and justice is up to God. And His ways are far better and more fitting than mine.

Iran -- I wonder if we will ever really know what is going on. But there are many countries who can and should step up and step in to help rein in that government.

More and more I am coming to like Rubio. I'm not saying I trust him, but I am seeing more about him to like. Gut instinct? Did he see the light? Did he finally realize that what is happening in this administration IS the way government should be running? Or getting to the point of running? I like him more than JD right now, that's for sure. I'm not calling anyone an heir apparent, but I do like him. And Bessent. I am coming around on Bessent as well.

I agree - but like the psalmist notes (37 & 73 - as examples) there is danger in demanding accountability (above all else) in this lifetime. We live in a fallen world because God chose to create us in His Image and Likeness; which includes free-will. The fifth seal reveals the heart of the matter (Rev.6:9-11): "How long O Lord...?" His response was to give those who suffered assurance of their acceptance in His presence and that they "rest a little longer".

BTW - for those who wonder - being in His Image and Likeness was the only way we could truly share in eternity; choosing right (as He defines it) is our narrow gate way into the broad place of Rev.22:1-5!

Bleighv05 aka Believe05's avatar

I do realize that. I almost always say justice in this lifetime or the next. I do know that God is the ultimate judge and I know that His justice is always fair.

JC's avatar

My continuous prayer is for justice in this world, so the name of the Most High will be elevated and the foolish who have been deceived may turn toward wisdom. It seems like a fair ask.

HisGloriousVictory's avatar

All prayers of faith are a fair ask!

Margot Wooster's avatar

Yes! Always primarily for the glory of God.

HisGloriousVictory's avatar

Indeed you do! My comment was less for you than for myself and for those who also read your comments. I should have made that clearer. (I actually began typing it as a stand alone comment when I thought to add it to yours since you addressed my constant frustration!)

I seem to be asking the “Fifth Seal Question” many times a day…and need to remember Jesus’ response - which is, as you say - to trust Him!

Bleighv05 aka Believe05's avatar

I am glad that we get to have these conversations in this group. My study into Genesis and the Shemites has been fascinating. I am waiting to find out the next step I am to take. But I am seeing it so differently now that I have ever seen it before.

HisGloriousVictory's avatar

One key that I was given: The first two thousand years of Biblical history uses the language of creation to declare His purposes (think creation itself, the flood and the changes to animal life, the dividing of the lands and languages…). The next two thousand years of Biblical history uses the language of covenants (with the foreshadowing of the promises to Noah after the flood) running from Abraham and the “sacrifice” of his son to the New Covenant and the sacrifice of God’s Only Begotten. Then this last two thousand years has been the language of Pentecost - the indwelling of the Spirit, the people of God being the temple of God. The Şemites line was founded on the language and acts of creation but then continued through to the New Covenant and the tearing down of the wall of separation - the time of all people, nations, languages and tribes!

Blessings!

I’ve been doing HGV’s studies for about a year and have learned so much. I’m always behind, but each study has given me so much more understanding.

ALtab's avatar

Thank you, HGV, for pointing this out as I have always known God is the ultimate justice and He’s clearly told us vengeance is His alone. This is a sincere question: wasn’t the rule of law (Biblically based) assigned to man on earth? Did we lose that when Adam chose? I consider that we can’t return to order (albeit imperfect) without justice. Civilization stability is based upon that, isn’t it? I’m looking for your thoughts, please!

HisGloriousVictory's avatar

IMO - The blood of man was required of man under the Noahic Covenant. The Laws of the Abrahamic Covenant were intended to bring blessings to all nations (that said, the Noahic was not revoked). The Mosaic add-on had laws for those under covenant but we clearly see that He declared His righteousness and therefore accountability on all nations - not just Israel. God often used one nation to bring His judgment on other nations. And since all nations are corrupt, the impression of injustice is often emphasized in our analysis.

Ultimately we will all sit (for those who have accepted Jesus’ offer to let His record overwrite our own) or stand (for those who prefer to let their own deeds determine their innocence) before Him.

Not sure if that answers your question very well…

ALtab's avatar

It definitely does as to the nations. We here (for example) will have to face His justice for allowing millions of unborn to be sacrificed for convenience, profit, and so on.

What about individuals in our government that have committed crimes against humanity? They will, of course, face God to answer to Him as we all will, but aren’t we responsible for the earthly justice in these cases? (I’m leaving out treason intentionally for this query.)

Thank you for taking the time to address this!!

Margot Wooster's avatar

The Apostle Paul seems pretty clear to me in Romans 13, that God is the One Who gave us civil government, and its job is to punish wrongdoers!

HisGloriousVictory's avatar

Great opportunity for discussion. The context is of interest. But there is clear indications as to why, as New Covenant believers, we should honor and respect the authority that God has allowed to be in place! Hard in this format to address the nuances. 🤓

Best. Comment. Ever! Thank you, Ashe!

GregoryPravda's avatar

Hi Anna, if you'll indulge me - and without looking it up - how do you spell the last name of the creator of Peanuts?

Anna's avatar

Ah, it is Schulze. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and gang, are probably my favorite characters of all time. I even have the t-shirts, at age 75!

I'm ready to compare Scott Bessent to Snoopy aka the Red Baron, after his Japanese yen maneuver. Gen. Blaine Holt compared him to one of the greatest generals currently fighting the globalists in this 5G war.

Bleighv05 aka Believe05's avatar

Not to start any argument here -- I just looked it up. Schulz. I didn't see anything with the ending e. If you have stuff with an ending E, I wonder when that changed?!

GregoryPravda's avatar

It's called the Mandela effect. For me it was Schultz. And I'm 100% certain of this because as a young child I remembered it being such an odd spelling (not understanding anything about foreign languages). My mother had a copy of a hardcover grey collection of the Peanuts and i read it almost every day during Summer vacations over a period of years. Schultz. Over and over. Charles M Schultz.

So what exactly is the Mandela Effect?

It's not just names. It's entire geography. That is what really freaked me out when i first realized it. They didn't change things by editing published works like books (including the Bible), movies, and advertisements in the past such that we get discombobulated. It's literally different physical Earths.

I've been developing software for 30 years now. A major issue in communications and project management platforms is locale time adjustments and I've worked on numerous international teams (global agrochem, pharma, banking, investment, etc). Well after doing that for so long, I just memorized that eastern time is either -5 or -6 GMT depending on daylight savings or standard time. But then one day I was "corrected" in a mtg that EDT was -4 GMT. No. No it's not. I looked it up and suddenly it was. And then i looked at the map. The entire North American continent was shifted MUCH closer to Europe. I legitimately almost freaked out.

I'd run Bayers "Region American" transnational SOX compliance team for years. I had multiple meetings weekly with international teams. The time zones were geographically fixed, immutable. And yet... they had changed. Schultz was Schulz. Berenstein, a German name also, changed to Berenstain, advertisements and product logos were different.

If you didn't experience any of this, you are lucky. You were born into this version of reality. If you suffered the insane confusion of things being different, you were mocked openly.

No way at all for me to prove when this happened the first time, but it happened multiple times starting sometime around 2010 or so. Another classic for me is "Meet The Millers". That's what the movie was called and that was AFTER the whole time zone freak out. Here? Now? It was only ever "We're The Millers". Fine. Whatever, it's a movie title so who cares. But from a marketing perspective- Meet and Millers is far more on American market brand than W M. Isn't it called alliteration?

I don't know what it all means. Parallel reality collapse? Nuclear annihilation? CERN breaking space-time continuum? And of course the popular condemnation: that MILLIONS of people all just hallucinatef the exact same false memories together.

Whatever it actually is, Schultz was the first marker for me. Just like learning about WTC7 collapsing was my marker for 9/11.

How bizarre. My only response is to trust the One Who knows all things, God, more than ever!

That's really the only peaceful path. Unyielding faith.

Wild Bill's avatar

Funny. I'm in the timing business (my company makes GNSS synchronized clocks, accurate to <0.0000001 second) and I always thought it was EST = UTC - 5:00. And that is what this website says:

https://www.utctime.net/utc-to-est-converter

But on the same search page, Brave's Leo tells me that it is 4 hours different. This website agrees:

https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/utc-to-est-converter

My LaCrosse Technology WWVB clock, sitting next to me on my file cabinet, says EST = UTC - 5:00.

(GMT has been obsolete for many years, replaced by UTC. But they are the same time zone.)

It looks like your reality warp was not an event. It is a continuum and we are still in it.

Featherjourney's avatar

Wow!!

Is the world speeding up because we are getting older?

I get how perception has everything to do with how time passes…but why should it be so significantly different in the course of just a decade?

Timepieces like clocks unify our perceptions…but there is still the variable of individual vs collective constant adjustments through a day.

Time is the great illusion, a construct of not just our brains but our minds!

Fascinating subject.

Anna's avatar

Would DST have anything to do with that? If UTC didn't change, that would make sense, but is there a designation for UTC on DST?

GregoryPravda's avatar

That's impressive accuracy. I've never needed anything that precise in my direct work. I assume you must handle aerospace contracts?

Anna's avatar

That's fascinating! I have heard of the Mandela effect. There was a discussion maybe a year or two ago about who was in the vehicle with JFK when he was shot and where they were seated. Different people had different recollections about a third row of seats, situated between the driver and the back row where JFK was seated, and who was seated in the middle row.

I can imagine the frustration you feel over the discrepancies you described.

Your question gave me pause because I didn't remember if there was a T in the spelling. I actually have several t-shirts with his signature but it looks more like a squiggle under the graphic. So I was guessing and hoping I was right.

GregoryPravda's avatar

Ahhh, but you very likely ARE right. And that's what makes this so deeply disturbing. LOL!

GregoryPravda's avatar

Also, perhaps multidimensional parallel realities have always existed and our soul consciousness just vibrated into a different reality? For example.... maybe my prior timeline was destroyed (nuclear). Many believed Obama was the antichrist. And I noticed this after his first term. Maybe he destroyed the world and we all died in some nuclear holocaust and then woke up in a new reality version 2.0?

I just don't know. Might never know. CERN seems most likely to me. Somehow what they did actually shifted things Universally. If that's the case, the implications are astounding.

Anna's avatar

Wow! That's a rabbit hole i am not ready for, yet. But I agree, things are weird, and getting weirder.

But Obama, well he is a true cut-out and major disruptor.

I also think anyone who sides with the devil is an Antichrist. There are millions of them, IMHO.

Featherjourney's avatar

We are all under an illusion spell of one sort or another 😉

ALtab's avatar

This is truly an eyeopening moment, Gregory! I’m actually amazed and have some thoughts jiggling around that I’ve always wondered about….🤔

Featherjourney's avatar

I just read your comment again. It fascinates me.

Years ago I had some books on Edgar Cayce readings and though I no longer have those books, I remembered he gave quite a number of reading on time lines.

Using Brave AI:

“Edgar Cayce viewed timelines as dynamic paths determined by collective human choices and spiritual efforts rather than fixed destinies. He famously stated that his predictions were conditional, operating under the proviso of "if everything stays the same," meaning that if humanity continued on its current path without spiritual awakening or behavioral change, the predicted karmic events would manifest.

According to Cayce’s teachings, spiritual work and prayer can shift timelines.”

“Edgar Cayce elaborated on parallel timelines through the lens of conditional prophecy and the non-linear nature of time, teaching that the future is not a single fixed track but a spectrum of probabilities shaped by human consciousness.”

Cayce didn’t talk about this but reading your comment got me thinking about the possibility that there are people who can visit, in consciousness, the different parallel time lines which could be viewed as people who are versed in where the parallel divergences occur…if you see the collective energy supporting one timeline but you know the errors in perception that are supporting it, then you know how to challenge the narrative to support the timeline more favorable to the future of humanity.

Quite a few references to Trump being a Time Traveler. Maybe it’s not because he is from the future (classic time traveling concept) but can witness parallel timelines that exist Now and can see how the collective choices made in each one turn out, what strengthens the best, most favorable to unfold The Golden Age as THE timeline that wins.

Anna's avatar

I think game theory plays into this, too. I'm no expert on this, but what I have read is that every possible scenario is gamed out (on a quantum computer?) ending in different conclusions. I believe Digital Soldier wrote about this.

Featherjourney's avatar

Interesting concept, tweaking our memories both individually and collectively.

GregoryPravda's avatar

Don't be so quick to doubt your memory. This is a very disturbing rabbit hole that we can't do anything about, but also shouldn't be simply ignored either. SOMETHING happened. From people recalling ads differently to when or if Nelson Mandela died to what color the sun is. Millions of people have been screwed up by this.

Anna's avatar

Memory is a strange thing. When my grown daughter retells a story from our collective past together, she usually tells it in a way I don't remember it happening. I have tried to interject my recollection of events a few times, but sometimes I just let it go. It is mind bending, though, especially when I was one of the central characters in the story and she was more of an observer, and much much younger. I'm glad you asked the question, though.

Bleighv05 aka Believe05's avatar

I also know how things can change though. So it wouldn't have surprised me if there had been an E at some point and then it got dropped.

GregoryPravda's avatar

In this reality, there was never an "e" but that was very gracious and kind to offer.

GregoryPravda's avatar

Also... I'm sorry. You're very likely not wrong.

Featherjourney's avatar

I defer to your expertise on identifying character traits in our current line up!! 👏

Charlie Brown is classic Americana!! ❤️

But I was more a Pooh fan (less political) with classic Zen overtones 😉

GregoryPravda's avatar

My niece just got the most beautiful Pooh book I've ever seen for her birthday. Hardcover, illustrated maps. I wanted it!! It reminded me of my Pooh bear I took everywhere until his stitching started falling apart. Then i found out I was 4 when he went away. I was quite surprised i remembered so much about him. Hadn't thought of Pooh in decades until i saw that wonderful book. :)

Anyone who participated in the imprisonment of us J6ers needs to be held accountable for their crimes, PERIOD!❤️🇺🇸💪🏻

Gary's avatar

Accountability is fundamental to justice, but takes many forms. Fauci must be held to account but not in a way that wins him public sympathy. What we want is not a martyr, but a pariah. Future generations should be inspired use his name as an epithet, an insult. "You're literally Fauci!" should be on a par with similar phrases about that former German Chancellor.

GregoryPravda's avatar

Exactly. Like... we did Nahtzee this coming, Fau-chi.

Featherjourney's avatar

Pardon or not, criminal prosecution or not, prison time or not…the fact remains that we are entitled to Truthful Answers from the man who labeled himself: “The Science” during the worst abuse of Americans’ Rights.

The Medical Community themselves should be outraged for being used. Where are their voices? You can find some of them and they’ve been around since 2020 (heavily censored back then). But mainstream doctors are still way too quiet.

Margot Wooster's avatar

“Mainstream doctors” still have signs in exam rooms urging us to get freaking “flu vaccines”. Yikes.

Anna's avatar

The medical people with ethics who refused the jabs were fired and the ones who would comply were turned into an army working for covidiocy. I read something about that yesterday, somewhere, I believe in the notes section of substack. Let me find it.

Bleighv05 aka Believe05's avatar

I refused in my purchasing job at the hospital. Yea, not a fun time at all. I did end up losing my job because of it. I ended up quitting because I couldn't take it anymore.

Featherjourney's avatar

It was a terrible situation for you and for so many.

My husband was still working as a Paramedic back then. At first, they had a choice of personal protective equipment (PPE) vs the jab but there was pressure to take it. He was near retiring from the ambulance company anyway, so he left.

What bothered us so much was the FD Chief in our small town was super on board with the Dept getting the jabs. There have been a few with health issues since then.

Interesting... this guy Max calls it 'the hierarchy.' Others call it the Cabal, System of Systems, myriad other names.

The important thing, regardless of what [it] is called, is that more and more, people are recognizing it for what it is.

PER GOOGLE - COVID 19 Global/National Totals

"GLOBAL REPORTED DEATHS: Over 7.1 MILLION DOCUMENTED FATALITIES worldwide.

Global Estimated Toll: The World Health Organization estimates overall impacts (including indirect effects) reached roughly 15 to 35 MILLION EXCESS DEATHS."

"The Nazis and their allies and collaborators murdered six million Jewish people in a genocide now known as the Holocaust. They also murdered millions of non-Jewish people between 1933 and 1945."

I guess if we want tribunals, we need to determine the COVIDIOCY VICTIMS bloodlines...........

Wild Bill's avatar

Don't forget that the Nazis also killed (directly or indirectly) at least 25 million Russians in WW2, with some estimates up to 40 million. 'Indirectly' means through starvation or exposure, which happened because of wartime conditions. That is, they would not have died had there been no war.

I wish someone would do a poll on why those who saw thru the plandemic vs those who blindly rolled up their sleeves & took the shots, made their choices. Was it based on the amount of TV/Internet time? What was it in certain people that made them instantly KNOW & see thru the lies of the media & politicians and others stay in a fog?

Why didn't certain people succumb the the proposed 'mass psychosis?'

This will be studied for years on the future and the reason needs to be found so this NEVER happens again.

I became anti-vax when I started seeing vax after vax after vax for kids and adults. Pneumonia, shingles, HPV, on and on and on. I realized this was wrong, wrong, wrong.

My hubby is one that took the dr's word for it every time. However, he didn't see the need for boosters. I think my comments on shingles vax, etc is slowly changing things for him. He is much less likely to do a vax now. I am so thankful!

In September of 1857 the U.S.S. Central America sank in a hurricane on its way to New York. On board was about $8.6 million of Gold from California. The loss of that shipment plunged America’s economy into depression. Many say it was worse that the one that came in 1929, but America was a much different country in 1857.

Here is some data to show us how different it was. The national debt in 1857 was $28.7 million while the GDP was $8.3 Billion. So, our debt was 0.359% of GDP. The average citizen made under $400 per year. Total federal government spending was $70 million or 0.84% of GDP.

The problem in 1857 was our economy’s expansion relied on an expansion of our Gold in circulation. Without that new input of $8.6 million, the economy fell apart because it needed that Gold desperately. But one thing is clear to me. Our economy was sound and our government was also sound. Our Treasury held $120 million in Gold versus a total debt of $28.7 million. There were more than $4 in Gold backing every dollar of debt.

Eleven years later that had all changed. The Civil War increased our debt to $2.527 Billion, our Gold was all but gone, but the GDP was just $9.7 Billion. Instead of our debt being about 1/3 of a percent of GDP as in 1857, by 1868 it was 26% of GDP and our government was broke! It still is, but the numbers have just gotten worse.

Today our debt is 126% of GDP. The good news is we are still going despite the fact that we are bankrupt. The key is to never admit failure. It is much easier to just keep our citizens confused with bullshit. In America we call this “Politics”. It is the answer to all of our concerns. They merely vote to increase our debt. Their job is really quite simple.

This works so well that a new concept is being put forward in 2026. Just print more money and make everything free! Who needs that silly GDP to screw up the numbers? The counting is the problem, not the debt.

If you have any questions, look at our history. Debt isn’t the problem. Affordability is the problem. Too little money is what needs to be corrected. Vote for the Communists! That will make our problems go away.

I hope I have helped with some absolute facts. The truth is what needs to be told.

Wild Bill's avatar

And where did that $120MM of gold go?

Hmmm... I bet I know.

Anna's avatar

False flag?

Jim Schout's avatar

In 1868, if you were shopping, there were two prices shown. Standard price in Gold backed dollars and the price in Greenbacks. The Greenback price varied by the exchange rate but was about $1.25 versus the Gold equivalent. At one point it was $2.85 to $1.00, but it settled at $1.30 around 1868.

Later, it surged again as the Treasury ran out of Gold and J.P. Morgan stepped in and loaned the government $100 million in Gold to keep it afloat.

So, Chase created the problem that Morgan solved. But the real question is, “Where did the Gold come from? Was it from the City of London?” That is something I have never been able to find out. But, I am suspicious.

Jim Schout's avatar

The Gold was being used to buy back the fiat dollars the North created to fund the war. They represented debt that was not backed by anything of real value. These dollars were called greenbacks and bore the portrait of the Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase…the same Chase whose name is on today’s biggest bank J.P. Morgan-Chase.

You would think America learned the evils of fiat currency by 1868. But apparently Americans have a very short memory. We bought the same craziness in 1913 and are still suffering today.

"Russia Collusion was real ... and it was a good thing." If this isn't a world class proof of BB's Sovereign Alliance (more than) Theory, I don't know what is. Assuming the story isn't just that, there is no way this kind of cooperation is a result of a mere 15 months of discussions and negotiations. This implies a level of trust between the 3 countries that takes years of trust buildup not only between the leadership but between the lower levels that are actually executing it. And to announce this publicly is a clear indication of how far along the alliance has come.

Ghost although the story of Cuba is in the bonus track here… I will reiterate this one more time because it seems to always get overlooked it certainly excluded from facts…The plane that Cuba shot down and Raul was accused of a crime, was a CIA operation by Brothers to the Rescue. BTTR was founded by Jose Busalto a CIA operative. Cuba had warned that constant incursions into their airspace was being done and they would not tolerate it. There are FAA documents proving this. It was not a crime it was self defense so we need to at least state the facts and not promulgate half truths.

Jim Schout's avatar

Cuba has the same problem as Iran but its problem is much harder to solve. Communism is the common problem but Iran has a fairly easy fix. They just need to stop wasting their immense wealth in oil reserves and start freeing their people to produce personal wealth. But, if we totally destroy their power plants and infrastructure, it will take decades and Trillions of dollars to just get back to zero. The citizens will be playing catch-up for many years.

Cuba has no really rich assets. Their main money maker before Communism was sugar and tourism. Americans loved to visit Cuba and spend money. It was sort of an expansion of Miami but with legal gambling. Oh, and Cuban cigars were considered the world’s best!

Today Americans can legally gamble all over America. And, we make our own sugar. Who needs Cuba? Can making Cuban cigars legal again save the country?

It seems to me that Cuba has a far more difficult way out of their morass. But, the first step is to get rid of Communism. Surely we can help them use Capitalism to their advantage because they are hard working and intelligent. That is the building block of a vibrant economy based on personal property rights.

Shelly Mexpat's avatar

I totally agree with you. There is a great Substack article on Cuba and its history about things I didn’t know and have never heard before. Viva Mariposa does any amazing job going all the way back to how cuba has been controlled since its constitution was formed and the foreign influences including US. It explains so much!! But her conclusion aligns with your assessment. It is the Cuban people and not just the government that will need to do a major shift to rebuild their country.

JC's avatar

The search for justice is most complicated when the targets are treasonous actors, who are themselves part of the political and governmental apparatus of a country, and doubly so when their crimes are widespread and shared by their ideological fellows (e.g. a rebellious conspiracy).

It is complicated because political actors are such due to their ostensible representation of the public. To the extent that they DO represent the public, that public either shares in the conspiracy (open or not) or has been deluded by lies. Regardless, the first step toward justice is to separate the subject from supporters; this is done initially by demonstrating the bad behaviour and essentially asking onlookers "do you want to carry this shame?"

In olden days the behaviour was repudiated by the community literally picking up stones to execute those who had betrayed the Law. The modern approach is the humiliation ritual of public disclosure, wedging public support away from whatever Overton foundation covered treason. A sufficient shift in public opinion enables sweeping application of the law (small 'l'), with at worst the grumbling indifference of former fellow-travelers.

By analogy, it's dumping agent orange on the foliage cover the traitors use. Now... agent orange has negative side-effects and results in deformed [political] children, etc. Which is why I view the "America First" party that Musk et al started back during the theatre spat with Trump as a refuge for Democrats who no longer want to tar themselves with the label of the criminals. You give the public a place of safety, while preventing the traitors from hiding, and the result is sudden and violent shifts in opinion, followed by sudden and sweeping enablement of justice.

From Brave's 'Leo': "The phrase completes the definition of punctuated equilibrium, an evolutionary model proposed by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould in 1972. This theory posits that species remain in stasis (long periods of stability) for most of their geological history, which is then interrupted by brief episodes of rapid evolutionary change and speciation."

They were talking about evolution of species, but the theory also applies to politics.

Now if JD will sign it off, we'll see what DoJ does with it... criminal contempt is grounds for serious jail time, and IIRC there would be 111 counts in the indictment.

Just sayin'...
