Rickards Latest on Election Fraud
We keep learning more about how the 2020 election really was rigged
despite the histrionics from the New York Times and others about
"election deniers” and "conspiracy theorists.” The evidence of election
rigging is now overwhelming. This does not mean the voting machines
were rigged (although they were in Arizona where the scanners were set
for one-sized paper and the voters were given a different size, so the
machine rejected the ballots, which were then put in boxes and never
counted. Of course, this treatment was limited to strong Republican
districts). The rigging took place in many other ways. Fake ballots
were detected in many states, including Pennsylvania and Georgia.
Tell-tale signs included mail-in and drop box ballots that were printed
on different gauge paper than official ballots, districts in which
voter turnout was greater than 100% of voter registration, supposedly
"mailed” ballots that were never creased to fit in the envelopes, and
situations like Wisconsin where Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of
millions of dollars to hire supposedly nonpartisan voting
administrators who were in fact partisan Democrats out to hide their
cheating from poll watchers and the media. Among the most egregious
vote rigging operations was the systematic censorship of conservative
comment and analysis. The Hunter Biden laptop with thousands of
documents showing the Biden crime family at work was dismissed as
"Russian disinformation”

Both the northern hemisphere and antarctic are setting cold and snow records right now.
Northern hemisphere
"By late Thursday, Anchorage had a 21-inch snow depth, or the total amount of snow on the ground. This was Anchorage's greatest snow depth for so early in the season, according to Alaska-based climatologist Brian Brettschneider. Already, 26.6 inches of snow has fallen in Anchorage this season, which is 17.5 inches above the average snowfall to date for Nov. 9."

Antarctic
"In a paper published by the American Meteorological Society, a group of international scientists note the "statistically significant” rate of temperature decline with the strongest cooling occurring in spring. During this season, the temperature fell by a massive 1.84°C every decade between 1999-2018. In the winter, the decadal fall was 1.19°C. The cooling was measured by a number of databases, while an accurate consistent record was collected from the Marie Byrd weather station."

Anyone with basic intelligence, a passion for a topic, a willingness to dig through piles of crap and most importantly, an open mind, you can learn just about anything. Opened mindedness is probably the most important. That’s why kids learn like little wizards. Einstein spoke of looking at the world through the eyes of a child.
Really, the only events in which solar radiation matters on our planet is day to night and the change in radiation received during seasonal changes. The El Niño and above are all determined by the forces of gravity and Tidal Pumping.
I was aware of GW170817 (observation using LIGO (U.S.) and VIRGO (Denmark) on August 17, 2017) some years ago but did not appreciate its significance. This was the first observation of Gravity Waves from a Neutron Star merger (NSM) about 23,000 to 25,000 years away. These devices can detect space perturbations the width of a proton. The scientific papers regarding GW 170817 have exploded.
The observations on Aug. 17, 2017 detected the Gravity Wave then 7 seconds later a Gamma Ray Burst. Gravity Waves can go faster than the Speed of Light and they can accelerate as they sprint towards us. They are just like the waves of the ocean. We first experience the slightest ripple, then the waves pop up in regular wave sets. Then the waves are big enough to start breaking. Then the waves start to form curls that the surfers like.
Then God breathes on the waters more deeply, bringing the Tropical Storm, then the Hurricane.
Through this progression the Gravity Wave accelerates, covering 25,000 light years in a few decades.
Then Climate Catastrophists will finally realize their folly as they are buried beneath the ice.
Man is as Nothing.
Quoting the Starburst Foundation.org, Non-profit Scientific Research Institute. Founded Jan. 1984:
"Astronomical and geological evidence indicates that the last major superwave impacted our solar system around 12,000 to 16,000 years ago and produced abrupt changes of the Earth's climate ( the Younger Dryas). It is estimated that approximately one or two superwaves strong enough to trigger an ice age are presently on their way to us from their birth place 23,000 light years away. (Neutron Star Merger, Gravity Wave GW170817). There is a finite chance that one such event could arrive within the next few decades. It is estimated that approximately one or two superwaves strong enough to trigger an ice age are presently on their way to us from their birth place 23,000 light years away. There is a finite chance that one such event could arrive within the next few decades.”
12,000 - 16,000 years ago was approximately the end of the last series of glaciations (the Younger Dryas) and the beginning of the Holocene.
If you want to donate to a worthwhile scientific non-profit, I would encourage the Starburst Foundation.

On Facebook I take down a moron and his champion.
Alan Genestine posts this:
George H Smith considers the conception of the idea of supreme being the most widespread and destructive of all man-made myths. With this provocation, George Smith attempts to argue against centuries of scholars and researchers in theology. He exposes the historical and psychological devastation caused by religion in general and concludes, in a very subjective but rational way, that religious belief can have no place in the life of a modern and rational man. His goal, however, is not to convert people to atheism, but to demonstrate that belief in God is irrational and absurd. He admits the freedom to believe in everyone and especially in God, but he absolutely wants to attack those who support and justify their behavior on their belief under the pretext of substituting it for reason and a higher moral necessity.
Taking on Blaise Pascal's probability theory, George Smith wants to counter the famous gambling argument. "If you bet on Christianity and there’s no God, you don’t lose anything,” he explains. George Smith therefore analyzes the phenomenon of the adoption of belief by resuming Pascal's Pari theory on the inequality of the issues between believing and not believing. Living an atheist life and being wrong exposes each of us to an eternal existence in hell. The psychological cost is huge. Believing in God has weaker psychological cost than atheism. George Smith argues that the existence of God, involves the use of reason. And, if we apply the cannons of reasoning to theistic belief, we come to the conclusion that theism is unfounded and must be rejected by reasonable people.
George Smith admits reason can be faulty. But, in that case, reason may convince us that if God exists, He does not meddle in the affairs of human beings. And so, believing or not believing has no influence in the afterlife. We die, period is all. But if God exist, He is good. He punishes bad actions or moral turpits. He cannot condemn to eternity hell those and those who haven't practiced a behaviour of faith throughout their earthly lives. If He has given us the ability to reason as a basic tool for understanding our world, then He must be proud of the conscientious and scrupulous use of reason by each of His creatures. George Smith then uses a euphemism to represent atheism, which he calls "an honest error of belief".
In the event that God would be unjust, that is, he would not differentiate between venial errors of not believing in him and other more grave errors, nothing could predict his future judgment. A believer could very well burn in hell for the rest of his eternity if God's judgment is arbitrary. A believer would not be in any better position than an unbeliever. The issue of behavior based on this rational anticipation is equivalent to believing and disbelief. Therefore, there's no such thing asymmetry in anticipation. Pascal's bet is being replaced by George H. Smith.
I reply: more...

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) filed a judicial ethics complaint Friday against the New York judge overseeing former President Trump’s civil fraud trial, claiming the judge has shown "inappropriate bias and judicial intemperance” toward the former president and calling on him to resign.
Judge Arthur Engoron has displayed a "clear judicial bias” against Trump and broken "several rules” in the state’s judicial conduct code, Stefanik wrote in a letter to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct.''''

Ukrainian President Zelensky Can't Legally Hold Scheduled Elections. His detractors without don't know this, or are deliberately playing ignorant so they can paint Zelensky as a dictator, and Ukraine as undemocratic.
By Not Holding Elections The Ukrainian Parliament And President Zelensky Are Obeying The Constitution.
Martial law rules were established in the Ukrainian Constitution and last updated by the national legislature in 2015, before Zelensky had even entered politics.
Postponing elections was not a function of any fear on Zelensky’s part, since his approval ratings have soared during wartime with various polls among Ukrainians putting his approval rating between the low 80%'s to mid 90%'s. So it's unlikely any potential opposition candidate could threaten Zelensky's position.
Article 83 of the Ukrainian Constitution states that if the term of the Verkhovna Rada expires under martial law, it shall automatically be extended until a new Rada is seated following the end of martial law. Article 19 of Ukraine’s martial law legislation specifically forbids conducting national elections. Thus, for Ukraine to conduct elections while under martial law would be a violation of legal norms that predate Zelensky and the full-scale Russian invasion.
That said, Zelensky has previously made three commitments.
Firstly, if the parliament voted to replace him, he'd step down.
Secondly, if the parliament voted to change the Constitution which currently makes elections illegal while the country is operating under Martial law, then he'd agree to hold elections.
Thirdly, if the second commitment is met, Ukraine's would need the help of the West, to help figure out and run safe and fair elections under the circumstances Ukraine is in. How would soldiers at the front lines be able to safely vote? How would those in the occupied territories be able to cast a vote?
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Ukraine has seen nearly 14 million people displaced—nearly a third of the country’s entire prewar population. About 6 million of those have been displaced to other areas of Ukraine (as internally displaced people, or IDPs), while nearly 8 million have fled abroad as refugees. This is the largest displacement of people since World War II.
These problems might be able to be overcome, though no doubt many would find the solutions unfair. But would the results of the election be deemed a fair outcome, given the limitations on politicians to campaign while the nation fights for its existence against Russia?
One argument that can't be made is that President Zelensky has personally chose not to hold elections, or that he did so to selfishly hold on to power.
Zelensky and his Party Servant of the People, won the 2019 elections in what was considered a landslide back then. But since Russia invaded Ukraine support for Zelensky and his party has soared. Therefore any election held now would see him and his party re-elected in a resounding victory with an even greater majority.
The only potential winner of elections held while Ukraine is under attack, are the Russian attackers. Their propaganda arms would use the opportunity to sew disunity and division among Ukrainians. Political candidates and bureaucrats would be distracted from the task of fighting the war. The security of soldiers, citizens, election officials and those charged with scrutinizing the election process, would be put at risk as they try to hold the national ballot.
Russia and those who do not support Ukraine are using Ukraine's inability to hold fair elections as material for the propaganda they feed to their useful idiots who simply repeat their talking points.
More information in why Ukraine can't hold elections is covered here:
War in Ukraine and parliamentary elections 2023 - Заборона
zaborona.com
Tim adds:
I would take those popularity polls with a grain of salt. You aren't going to get accurate polling in a time when a nation is being invaded. I doubt it's possible to know what the Ukrainian People think. That said he probably IS popular as he has kept Russia from overrunning the country and generally people rally around a successful leader in wartime. What Zelensky should do to avoid this very charge (and history is replete with democratically-elected Presidents using crisis to stay in office) is publicly tender his resignation and ask Paarliament to vote on whether he stays or goes. That would quiet dissent. But of course it won't happen. I wouldn't do that were I he, even though it would be a good strategy for public relations abroad.

Pope Francis continues his purge of conservatatives from the Church, this time firing the conservative Tyler Texas Bishop Joseph Strickland:
"The probe came after Strickland, 65, had been posting social media messages and making other announcements critical of the Pope's support of "radical left-wing changes" to Church teachings.”
[...]
"Michael J. Matt, editor of the traditionalist newspaper The Remnant, wrote, with the firing, Francis was "actively trying to bury fidelity to the Church of Jesus Christ."
"This is total war," Matt wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Francis is a clear and present danger not only to Catholics the world over but also to the whole world itself."
[...]
"Last year, Francis defrocked Father Frank Pavone, the nation's leading Catholic pro-life advocate.”
[...]
"The pope reportedly criticized American Catholics during a visit to Portugal in August for having a "very strong, organized, reactionary attitude" on issues such as abortion and sexuality rather than focusing on concerns such as climate change and caring for migrants.”
Pope Fires Bishop Strickland, Conservative Critic Targeted
newsmax.com
Francis sacked Raymond Burke, then head of the Curio (essentially the Vatican Supreme Court) and made him Patron of the Knights of Malta.
https://www.ncronline.org/news/vatican/pope-removes-cardinal-burke-vatican-post He then sacked Burke last year from that role too, early of his retirement.
Burke earned eternal emnity from Burgoglia by sending him a letter suggesting positions he was taking were flirting with heresy (he was right, and they weren't just flirting). https://www.ncronline.org/news/quick-reads/letter-signed-more-1500-accuses-pope-francis-canonical-derelict-heresy
Then in 2017 he sacked the head of the Knights of Malta - Grand Master Matthew Festing - over criticisms of his policies. In fact he canned the entire leadership of the group and not only replaced them but gave them a new constitution.
Frankie has been on a reign of terror in the Vatican since stealing, er, assuming the Cathedra of Peter. And he is employing the very same techniques used by the Democrats or communists to consolodate power.
It will take generations to rid the Catholic Church of the parasitic radicals being put into positions of authority by this lawless renegade Pontiff.
I don't know if Pope Francis is the False Prophet of Revelations or not, but he certainly isn't acting in the Will of Christ. He is promoting a worldly view of Catholicism that worships the creature rather than the Creator.

Walmart is the worst offender, completely forgetting the words of Founder Sam Walton.
This is modern America; a place where customers are just an annoyance.
In a training speech Sam Walton said:
"I'm the guy who goes to a restaurant, sits at the table and waits patiently, while the waiter does everything but write down my order."
I'm the guy who goes to a store and waits quietly, while the salesmen finish their personal conversations.
I’m the guy who walks into a gas station and never uses his horn, but patiently waits for the employee to finish reading his newspaper.
I'm the man who explains his desperate urgency for one piece, but doesn't complain that he only gets it after three weeks of waiting.
I'm the guy that, when he enters a commercial establishment, seems to be asking for a favor, begging for a smile or just hoping to be noticed.
You must be thinking I'm a quiet, patient, never troublesome type... Get fooled.
Do you know who I am? I am the customer who never returns!
I love seeing millions spent annually on all sorts of ads to get me back to your company. Because when I first went there, all they should have done was just a little, simple and inexpensive kindness: treat me with a little more courtesy.
Theres only one boss: THE CUSTOMER. And he can fire everyone in the company from the president to the janitor, simply taking their money to spend elsewhere. "

I may have previously mentioned the phenomenon of Tidal pumping causing seismic activity. The gravity field of the larger object opens up the tectonic plates on the smaller object and produce volcanism. On Earth, this seismic heat release is prominent in the trenches of the Ring of Fire.
Just to repeat, as a celestial object moves through space, it carves a gravity well. The Sun and major planets are continuously moving and producing their individual gravity wells. These individual gravity wells can overlap on a predictable periodicity, ergo El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), pulling open the trench system which are termination points of the Ring of Fire, the Tonga Trench (La Niña ) and the Peru/Chile Trench (El Niño).
Rather than list them here, the Earth’s geochemical reactions are myriad and almost all give off heat, including reactions to produce CO2 and hydrocarbons in prodigious quantities, vastly exceeding human activity. All planets conduct these reactions. None of this geochemical heat has been considered in the heat balance of the Earth. In fact, from the New Horizons mission, it is now known that Pluto is very seismically active with lava plains and mountains as high as the Rockies made of Nitrogen/Water Ice. Astronomers were astounded because Pluto is too far distant to be affected by the tidal pumping by the gas giants. Rather, there is another cause of Pluto’s seismic energy release. Gravity waves from distant galaxies routinely wash across us. Such was the cause of the Little Ice Age, the Medieval Warming Period, the Dark Age Cooling Period and the Roman Warming Period.
In fact, given the impact of geochemical heat and released by Tidal Pumping, solar radiation is a minuscule contribution to the Earth’s heat budget. Solar radiation is an adjunct for photosynthesis and heats up the asphalt ….. and that’s about it.
On a galactic scale, a massive gravity well is produced by a Neutron Star Merger (NSM) which causes a massive gravity well and sends out gravity waves, just like a wave generator at a water park. On Aug. 17, 2017, a tremendous NSM occurred at a distance of 23,000 to 25,000 light years from us. This verified Einstein’s prediction made over 100 years ago. It bears the designation GW170817. The research papers on GW170817 have exploded.
In addition to gravity waves, NSMs also produce the very heavy fissile Actinides, far more than what comes from Supernovas. Several mechanisms, both the great density and Electromagnetic properties allow these fissile elements to consolidate and become natural nuclear reactors (i.e. the Terra-Centric GeoReactor, —Herndon & Tuttle), stellar ignition trigger (like an H bomb — Herndon), as well as solar flares (M.a. Padmanabha Rao). Jupiter was a "failed star” — not big enough to form a star.
Galactic gravity waves have a wavelength about equal to the width of a proton, they travel faster than the speed of light, and accelerate even faster. GW170817 was detected first, followed 7 seconds later by a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB). Just just like ripples on the water signaling an approaching storm, we are just now feeling the initial cooling brought on by GW170817. Predictions are that the fuller strength of GE170817 will arrive in a few decades (Starburst Foundation ). We may be back in weather conditions similar to the Little Ice Age.
After a gravity wave passes through our neighborhood, it drives on, accelerating more. With no shoreline for the wave to "break”, the wave passes on and on, expanding the boundaries of the Universe.
The Universe is unbounded going forward and unbounded going backward. We will never know if there was a Beginning and we will never know if there will be an End. We just go on and on, held in the Lord’s Hand.

Why didn't the corrupt media report this? We know why:
Franklin Graham
When Hamas terrorists attacked Israel killing more than 1400 people, they also targeted ambulances, shooting and burning them. Magen David Adom is Israel’s first response service and they lost 14 ambulances and, tragically, 11 first responders. These heroes were on duty, trying to help others in the crisis when they were killed. Yesterday we told them that Samaritan's Purse would replace these ambulances. They were so grateful for the help, support, and prayers. We are now in the process of doing that as quickly as possible. Continue to pray for all of the lives impacted by this war and for the peace of Jerusalem.

On Facebook I'm having an argument about the existence and nature of God with some atheists. Thought everyone here would profit from the discussion.
Helen Hamann asks
Who created god?
Tim replies:
I guess then the U niverse just created itself. Nice trick, especially as we see absolutely no evidence to support a spontaneous creation from nothing.
Helen Hamann snorts:
you are falling into your own logical trap. Existence exists, it was not created, it is.
I respond:
Helen Hamann In oyther words you have no explanation for it and so refuse to accept any. 'It just is' is no more valid than saying God created it - less so in fact. It requires the total suspension of all known laws of this universe.
The Universe had a beginning and will have an end and we know that from Science. But we also know that the laws of this universe are solidly against spontaneous generation from nothing. Hoyle floated that idea and was shot down; the Steady State made no sense and never did gain mamority in scientific circles.
So we are sTILL left with the issue of where it came from. Your hypothesis merely kicks the can down the road.
Now I would point out that every human culture, ever group of people, believed in God or gods of some sort. The only truly atheistic societies were the Communists, and even then they tolerated some religion. Of course they are largely gone, eliminated by the contradictions in their philosophy.
There is such a thing as Natural Law, and belief in God falls within that scope. Just the fact that we all seem to intrinsically grasp that there is a God is a strong argument for His existence.
There is the Anthrropic Principle too. Change one force in this universe by any degree and you get a universe where life is impossible. We just luckily live in a sweet spot that makes our existence possible.
When we find exoplanets we don't find them by seeing them; we see their effects on stars. God has no direct proof and yet we see His handiwork in so many ways. Now, an astronomer could deny an exoplanet because he hasn't seen it. But he'd be wrong.
Helen doesn't like that. She snaps:
you obviously know very little about philosophy. Existence exists is an axiom. Do you know what that is?
My reply:
And yet you try to claim God doesn't exist but the universe does. A created thing a-priori requires a creator. If not you mus tbe able to prove something exists for a reason in this particular universe. You are indulging in sophomore philosophy here.I am saying there is ample evidence for a Creator based on what we can infer from the nature of the universe. You are saying "like I don't see it dude" and then saying "it's all there is" which is a CONCLUSION not based on rationality or on logic but on a presupposition. The laws of this universe are that there si a cause for every effect, ergo there must be a prime cause or the universe violates it's own fundamental laws. That is an axiom. Do you know what that is?
Helen again:
"yet you try to claim god doesn’t exist but the universe does” — duh? You cannot prove the existence of god, but if the universe didn’t exist, you wouldn’t either. To prove the existence of the universe, all you have to do is look around you. Existence has not been created from nothing, it just is. The notion of a creator is the most primitive of notions, when savages couldn’t explain all the phenomena around them. Some men evolved from those savage notions, some others remain glued to primitive explanations of reality.
To which I retort:
Helen Hamann Sorry but that is both shallow and immature logic. It is the primitive explanation of reality, not the belief in a God who is seen through multiople aspects of this same universe. How do you explain the anthropic principle then? By all menas give me your sophisticated explanation. You do admit the unverse had a beginning, right? That is fairly well established. So if it "juist is" how did it have a beginning? What caused the Big Bang? Oh, it just happened. I guess everything just happened then? Life just spontaneously generated from chemicals because it just happened? You have in one comment completely dismantled all of science and Western thought. Kudos!
Little children say "BECAUSE" to explain reality they do not understand. That is exactly what you do by saying "it just is".
At this point a polite atheist named Dale Mullin interjects himself. more...
