I wouldn't want to take the number of the beast to buy and sell though. Some Christians think as long as you believe in Christ, you can take the number without committing sin, I don't think so myself.

Quote:Post-conscientious people who grew up in the hothouse conditions of the Soviet Union were not ready to meet the Western propaganda system. We were used to the fact that the information provided from television, books and newspapers is 100% verified, filtered by censorship, and truthful.
Therefore, we believed everything that poured from the television screens. We were very disappointed and didn't know how to live on and what to believe in. The ideals and value system of an entire country were destroyed overnight. Therefore, it is not surprising that people who have lost their moral guidelines began to do anything.
As soon as the USSR collapsed, radical anti-soviet propaganda poured in from all sides, the destruction of Soviet ideals and the education system, the propaganda of free sex, hedonism, drunkenness, banditry and the imposition of liberal ideas. The basic principle of the new ideology was as follows: "The minnow who does not dream of becoming a shark is bad." If you don't rob another, then others will rob you. The law of force. The law of the food hierarchy.

I must disagree. We each have individual responsibility for this mess, allowing prevailing conditions to thrive is ennabling vice. We have no one else to blame but ourselves. The evil we put out into this world, every negative emotion, thought, and deed contributes to making it worse for all. How did Hitler come to power? It was because people sacrificed the higher considerations for the practical/lower, they put themselves first before others, so they worshiped false values (power, glory, honor, wealth) instead of doing everything they could to transform society, they turned indifferent, were reduced to an utter state of carelessness.

I do not care about what he may do to Society, because he cannot do anything to it without it's permission - if it gives that permission, it gets what it gets. If Society wants to give him that power over them, then they can live with the results of their own actions.

I withdrew from Society quite some time ago, I saw the cliff it was intent on driving itself off of, and wanted no part of it. Oh, I still offer my opinions on what it does to itself, but those are offered primarily as a disinterested observer, rather than as a frantic member.

The values you mention (power, glory, honor, wealth), are societal values, not mine. They are the very tools Society uses to deconstruct itself and leave itself vulnerable to manipulation by ne'er -do-wells like an Antichrist. My withdrawal from Society was not because I worshiped those values, but rather because I rejected them and Society clung to them for dear death. That necessitated a parting of the ways.

Quote:Ihr vertreibt die Falschen. Es sind Ausländer im Land, die herzlich willkommen sind, an die keine Behörde die Hand legt, die bei euch freundlich aufgenommen werden, und die ihr fast als eure Brüder betrachtet. Nicht die, die ihr haßt, weil euch deren Leben fremd und unheimlich ist, werden zu eurem Verhängnis werden, sondern jene, die ihr als gleiche betrachtet. Die werden es sein, die euch gefährlich werden. Es werden keine zehn Jahre vergehen, da wird eine Macht von Fremden einen eigenen Staat in eurem Staate gebildet haben. Sie werden die Geschäfte beherrschen und euch diktieren, was ihr machen und wieviel ihr zahlen müßt. Aber die wollt ihr nicht draußen haben, weil ihr ihnen vertraut. Sucht euch eure ausländischen Freunde richtig aus. Sonst werdet ihr bald von euren gefälligen Freunden nicht nur beherrscht, sondern offen erpreßt. Euer eigener Staat wird machtlos sein. Und bringt die, die ihr als Freunde erkannt habt, näher. Ihr werdet sie während des kommenden großen Kampfes gegen die Nicht-betenden brauchen.

Please share your insights with us. I find your posts interesting. 

Plus, if you publish your material, I won't have to buy the book because I got it straight from the source here. Yeah, I'm a cheapskate.

Quote:Dictators have no peers; only sycophants to do their bidding. That is how it was in Nazi Germany. And so it is wherever autocrats rule in government or in business. Dictators and braggarts cause their own demise, because when they finally are in extremis, they have only their lackeys to call on, while their adversaries attract the best of men.

There will be an attempt to wipe out the earth's vast populations and completely lay waste to its forests. We each have individual responsibility for allowing it to happen to the planet. Also, there's no room for neutrality in the struggle between tyranny and freedom. Admittedly, neutrality can be a temporarily justified position as president George Washington noted. It's better to be a disinterested observer, than falling to the level of the masses. Only intense studying can provide a safeguard.

Quote:On the other hand, it seems like even people with spiritual connections with Nature, have given up on trying to change society and are focusing more on preparing for a post-collapse world. An inventor friend of mine told me, "I don't really think much about the progress of American politics anymore. I think far more about how I can prepare for the eventual downfall of our country, what things I'll have to do, what role I'll have to play, what political opinions I'll have to pretend to entertain." I think he could make for a competent president if he enters into politics, so I gathered together his posts and insights.

Quote:My fellow Americans,
There will be a tsunami coming from overseas, such a possibility was demonstrated by the earthquake in Kamchatka, how it caused waves to reach Alaska and Hawaii.
If anyone lives in the west coast, like myself, it'd be inadvisable to go along with official evacuations, but make your way up to the mountains. I'd rather take my chances with volcanic eruptions. But I don't believe Rainier, Yellowstone, etc. will erupt.

Quote:I've attached the predictions I've gathered about the two or three earthquakes that will devastate California, as well as predictions pertaining to the upcoming Civil War (estimated 2027-2032, unless Trump succeeds in effecting ceasefires, which could delay events up to 2040). We should expect a nationwide blackout event, during which China and Russia will begin making their move. I've found many predictions about a paramilitary event going on over Europe and about sleeper agents embedded in the US.
I think that Trump's going after the wrong targets, it's not illegal immigrants and our neighbors who represent a danger, but the various races that are servile, pay obsequence, resort to flattery, conquer by economical means and briberyl

1. Flood myths have little to do with the subject at hand. There probably wasn't a global deluge but we don't know if it was confined to local regions or encompassed a continent. People in ancient times weren't so primitive to believe that their world was the center of the planet, and to think that a local flood would mean the end of the world's civilizations.

"The earth’s firmament was shaken, and the waters of Lake Baikal flooded the entire earth up to the great ocean," Lake Baikal contains more than enough to spill over the whole continent of Europe.
I read that there's indications a tsunami hit Lake Tahoe after a massive earthquake:
https://www.tahoedailytribune.com/news/tsunami-research-ongoing-at-lake-tahoe/

My friend Kristina from Reno, who frequently visits Lake Tahoe, shared a dream her mother had about Tahoe spilling out and flooding the Central Valley. She also had a number of dreams about Tahoe having a tsunami.
https://old.reddit.com/r/Retconned/comments/11awiqj/surreal_ufolike_cloud_in_turkey/j9wxk1w/
She has shared with me detailed reports of strange wave patterns she had observed in the lake. Regardless of whether she was clairvoyant or not, her observations deserve a careful examination, I think it may contribute to future research for detecting earthquakes sooner: (see attached pdf)

"They looked like multiple black humps arranged in a perfectly symmetrical manner and not moving much. Then we saw what looked very much like a wake left by a boat, like a long churned-up strip of water, but there wasn't a boat around. Then, it started to come closer. We saw a large, inky black hump wave coming towards shore. It looked like the water was rolling almost. The wave kept it's form and didn't crest or have a whitecap."

"The thing that stood out to me was how shiny looking the waves were, glinting like metal almost."

"When I was watching those waves, it appeared like the water was pouring down into some sort of trough/trench. Almost like the lake was split in two and had this long rift down the middle that it was draining into."

"The waves were really dark. They were moving almost like they were folding over each other. They were staying in one area, but they were very chaotic. They dissapated before reaching the shore."

As you can see, she's very meticulous in recounting her observations. She also reported observing strange anomalies going on during March 2020, which seem corroborated by other reports around that time. Besides being a nature enthusiast, she also has a passion for chemistry and nuclear physics.

2. Except I didn't confine my presentation to medieval prophecies. I include modern predictions from contemporary clairvoyants. Not always premonitions being shared on social media.

As far as I'm aware, many savants in the premonition field prefer detailed accounts of contemporary clairvoyant visions and remoteviewing sessions to medieval prophecies, which were colored/corrupted by religious interpretation. One of these savants, who's scientifically-oriented, told me: "Precognitions usually scatter a lot, are short glimpses into different futures, not long narratives."He described it as a "series of short realistic/ lively pictures".

This is also how a clairvoyant explained how he sees his visions:
https://old.reddit.com/r/precognition/comments/1f4rjj1/how_do_we_feel_about_this_guys_premonition/lkok2wb/
"The true dreams are typically a brief flash of fairly mundane moments or you'll get one specific detail that comes true. Like a flash of information, not a whole saga."
https://old.reddit.com/r/Dreams/comments/1gy4k1o/has_anyone_had_warning_dreams/lyn7wf1/?context=3
"True future dreams are usually short snippets of a moment in your future life, an exact replica word for word, and thought for thought OR a short snippet of only one sense (e.g. sound only) of the future moment."
