I have often pondered the matter of privacy and our lack of telepathy. As society grows increasingly knowledgeable about the workings of the brain and how to access information from it the matter becomes of critical importance. We are reaching the stage where we can no longer hide in the privacy of our own minds, and once we reach that point I think our civilization will be in peril.
In the Book of Genesis it is said that God "sewed clothes of animal skins for Adam and Eve" when He booted them out of Eden. Why? Why were they disturbed about being "naked"?
My view is that everyone - the angels and then Adam and Eve - had the ability to see into the minds of others, to read their thoughts. It would be a great blessing and joy if your thoughts were pure but a horrible curse if they were not. Adam and Even didn't really care about their physical nudity so much as their psychological nudity. They wanted to hide their THOUGHTS, not so much their bodies, because their thoughts were now polluted and embarassing to them..
So God gave them animal bodies that they could hide in.
So human history began metaphorically with the loss of telepathy and the rise of privacy.
And since then governments and merchants and those with certain interests have labored dilligently to find ways to force thoughts and memories out of human heads.
It has been a work that has been ongoing for millenia. And now with modern technology we are reaching the point of being able to do it.
One wonders if this isn't the beginning of the end for Mankind.
Isaac Asimov, no believer nor even Conservative, wrote a story once about a kind of time viewer. A historian became exasperated in his efforts to obtain time on the machine, and he found a young physicist who helped him build his own. It turned out it was a lot easier than everyone thought it would be and worked much better. In fact it was limited to just about a hundred years in the past - but it worked very, very well with the present. It was possible to spy on anyone you wanted to spy on. The government had purposely suppressed the development of it and all the "research" it did was bogus. They hoped nobody would realize a portable, cheap model could be made. In the end the physicist and historian agreed not to publish - but the physicist's uncle had read the research and published it anyway out of fear of the government. In the end they realized civilization would collapse under the weight of the prying eyes and loss of any privacy.
Human beings are private animals. We are now at the point of dragging people into the group like it or not. This can't end well.

The markets are finally realizing that fundamentals matter.
Mercedes plunged on Friday as sales of its slick new range of EVs went into freefall. Net profits were down 21% on Friday.
Porsche abandoned its sales targets for battery-powered
Ford is losing nearly $50k on every EV it sells, while Tesla’s profits dropped 45%.
Battery manufacturers such as Germany’s Varta are getting hammered.
Economists have long warned that net zero provides a golden opportunity for waste and rent-seeking. But some elites chose not to listen. We should start holding them accountable.
Lobbyists argued for the subsidies, civil servants supported them, and finance ministers enthusiasticall

As if cuing ominous music, we hear incessant warnings today about "Christian nationalism” and "fundamentalism.” We’re supposed to fear these forces and, in particular, their alleged inroads into education. In fact, as the Los Angeles Times writes this week, this phenomenon threatens to "destroy” our schools and transform us "from a democracy to a theocracy.”
Why, if students hear about God at all, they just may get the crazy idea that government is not their highest power.

Kamala's record:
===============
Co-sponsored legislation to protect illegal immigrants from deportation
Backed banning private health insurance
Supported giving taxpayer-funded coverage to illegal immigrants
Supported banning fracking
Backed defunding the police
Compared ICE to the KKK
Wanted to ban plastic straws
Defended banning offshore drilling
Wanted to "undo” the Trump administration’s border security, taking 94 executive actions in their first 100 days to rescind nearly every Trump-era measure
Supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings
Said she wouldn’t "treat” illegal aliens as "criminals”
Called for "starting [ICE] from scratch”
Argued that temporarily closing the border violated federal law
Raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a far-left organization that pays to bail out of jail violent criminals, including accused murderers and rapists.
Supported Los Angeles’s cuts to their police department
Called efforts to add more police to the streets "wrongheaded thinking”
=============
And if she gets into power that will be just the start of her far-left agenda.
Seriously, Democrats … is this the suicidal direction you want the US to go? more...

As if we didn’t have enough to worry about, now we have to worry about our food supply! Concentrated power of nearly all food production is owned by mainly 4 companies. Wait until meat is banned in line with the UN 17 sustainable climate goals! No one voted for the people who implemented policies to lower our standard of living! We cannot afford to allow another democrat into office for a very long time.

Tim adds:
I've warned about the control of food production for years now. It's been a systematic assault family farms and the production of food.
This is the implementation of the Hydraulic Empire. The hydraulic empire theory argues that some states in the past - notably Egypt and China but there were others - controlled and rationed water and by doing so controlled and rationed food. The end result was they were able to create totalitarian states because anybody who rebelled would starve or die of thirst.
What we are seeing now is essentially this theory being applied without just controlling water (although they are doing that, especially in places like California). The Gang Green gets regulations and laws passed "for the environment" but in reality it's for the empowerment of government and to drive societal change to make a new world, one where people are restricted and forced into high-rise apartments and cannot travel easily or go outside of the lines. It's in U.N. Agenda 21 and 30 and they keep updating this.
And since they are all agreed on the need to drop the human population down to about half a billion they are going to need to restrict food to the point where people stop having children and maybe starve to boot. You reduce a population by restricting food. That's how the Indians were decimated; the buffalo hunters came and wiped out the big buffalo herds, thus starving the Indians into submission. This is no different.
When Japan first industrialized they did not start by building factories but by reforming land and creating small farms. They understood that the first thing they would need would be the power to feed their people. Once that was secure they could concentrate on building industries. It worked. In fact it was largely the only country that every moved from Third World to First World status on it's own. All the rest required massive aid from Western countries.
There is an old saying "an army moves on it's belly". Don't think the radical Left doesn't know that.

Attkisson’s list of 161 major reporting errors by the media on Donald Trump, entitled on her website as "Media Mistakes in the Trump Era: The Definitive List” dated July 14th this year.
Attkisson herself was the target of Obama’s FBI for critical reporting on the Obama administration while she was employed by CBS News.
She has ongoing litigation against the DOJ and the FBI for hacking into her CBS News laptop and her personal laptop computers at home in 2013. She has first-hand experience of being targeted for daring to question and investigate untouchables, like Obama, within the DC political establishment.

Good news!
Republicans are now well ahead of Democrats in voter registration in Arizona. The GOP leads 1,434,432 to 1,192,205.
Of course that doesn't take fraud into account. By current standards the two parties are probably running neck and neck.

A new study by the Canadians entitled "Disruptions on the Horizon" is causing a stir as it looks at the likelihood of American order breaking down.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that America is ona precipice.
Who is to blame? The Democrats, media, and Left, who have tried desperately to foment a socialst revolution in this country and have changed it beyond all recognition. They don't like the fact that average Amerians have started fighting back against the transformation of their country.
But the Left never sleeps and believe this is their time; they will not go quietly into that good night. They will use bloodshed if needed. If Kamala Harris loses the election they will believe it is needed now.
Buckle up.

In yet another assault on American history the Biden Department of Justice plans to strip 20 soldiers posthumously of their Medals of Honor won at the battle of Wounded Knee.
Wounded Knee was one of the last fights in the Indian Wars. The Dakota Sioux had a dance craze, the "ghost dance" which was intended to eliminate the white man. There was every reason to believe this would lead to a general and bloody uprising.
So now, 130 years later, the Army is kowtowing to Native Americans because, like, minorities are ALWAYS right and good after all.
This is just another way to dmonize white people and to erase our history. Demonized people don't fight back, and people who forget their history are easily molded.

The Biden junta paid Lisa Page and Peter Strzok two million bucks in a "settlement".
Hush money probably, or pay for a job well done.
The Left always takes care of their own. It's why so many on their side will risk so much.

HAMAS Continues Firing At Israel Civilians Targets While Hiding Behind Their Own Civilians
Why is the focus of governments and journalists around the world on demanding Israel's cease fire in the war with HAMAS.
They never mention that HAMAS continues to fire thousands of rockets at Israeli civilian targets. Rarely do they mention that HAMAS continues to hold over 100 civilians as hostage, including non-Israeli citizens. And they never mention the one in 5 rockets HAMAS fires, misfires landing in Gaza and killing and wounding Gazans, and destroying buildings, for which Israel is blamed.
The demand from the world should be that HAMAS immediately cease firing rockets, hand over the hostages or their bodies, and unconditionally surrender. HAMAS are unfit to rule Gaza. HAMAS has inflicted great harm on her citizens. Israel go to more effort protecting Gazans than does the Gazan leadership.
As far as HAMAS is concerned, another dead Gazan is another propoganda tool they can use against Israel.
The only reason we are not mourning the deaths of tens of thousands of Israeli women and children and other civilians, is because Israel invested heavily in the patriot missile based 'iron dome' system which intercepts many of the missiles fired at Israel.
This defence system isn't cheap. Each iron dome interceptor costs about US$50,000. Since 7 October Israel has spent almost US$1bn on its iron dome ammunition. Israel would not need the Iron dome system nor blast rooms in every home, and public bomb shelters throughout Israel if the Iran-financed terrorists stopped attacking them.
Gaza didn't spend money on public defence even though they knew their 7 October attacks would prompt a response from Israel. Instead, aid money going to Gaza has been spent supporting HAMAS, providing the rockets, and building a massive network of tunnels and missile launch sites. Often with the full knowledge and even participation of doctors teachers, police, government administrators and NGO Aid Workers.
Pressure needs to be put on HAMAS leaders living lavish lifestyles in Qatar. The first thing to be done is to freeze their bank accounts and assets. Such sanctions should be placed on all known terrorist leaders around the world..

Rasmussen poll has Trump at 62% and Kamala at 35%.
All the others polls say even or Kamala slightly ahead.
For an uninformed fool who thinks polls are honest that’s an amazing difference that suggests Rasmussen have gone nuts.
For an informed person it’s probably a fair reflection when one polling company gives us the actual situation, and all the rest give us the ‘adjusted for fraud’ figures.

So, I asked ChatGPT what is the anthropic principle? The answer follows below Even though ChatGPT says that the anthropic principle is not foundational, I maintain that God, the Creator of the universe, endowed humans with the ability to reason and recognize such philosophical and scientific realities. And, therfore, the anthropic principle is true otherwise I would not exist to write this post nor would anyone else exist to read it.
ChatGPT:
The anthropic principle is a philosophical
consideration that observations of the physical universe must be
compatible with the conscious and sapient life that observes it.
In other words, the universe's fundamental properties and constants are as they are because if they were different, we wouldn't be here to notice them.
It addresses why certain physical constants and laws of nature appear to be finely tuned to allow the existence of life.There are two main versions of the anthropic principle:Weak Anthropic Principle: This principle states that the conditions observed in the universe must allow the observer to exist.
It suggests that the universe's physical and cosmological parameters are constrained by the requirement that life can develop and observe the universe. This is more of a tautology and doesn't necessarily provide a deep explanation but highlights the observational bias. This principle goes further, positing that the universe must have properties that inevitably lead to the emergence of conscious life at some point. It implies that the universe is in some way compelled to produce life.
The anthropic principle is not foundational in the same way as physical laws and principles like Newton's laws of motion, the conservation of energy, or quantum mechanics. Rather, it is a philosophical framework or perspective used to interpret why the universe has the properties that allow for the existence of life.
The anthropic principle is often invoked in cosmology and theoretical physics to explain why the fundamental constants of nature fall within the narrow range that allows for the existence of life. For example, it helps address why the cosmological constant or the strength of fundamental forces are within specific ranges that permit the formation of stars, planets, and ultimately life.
While not a scientific theory that can be tested or falsified, the anthropic principle raises important philosophical questions about the nature of the universe and our place in it. It challenges scientists and philosophers to think about the deeper reasons behind the apparent fine-tuning of the universe.
I'm with you here Carlos. It is every bit as foundational as any other theory that can't be quantified. Certainly more so than Darwinian theory. Atheists hate it for obvious reasons. That is why the Many Worlds Interpretation is so popular among a certain segment of the science community; it gets you out of the Anthropic Principle by postulating an infinite number of universes and saying of them all we just happen to inhabit one of the habitable ones! Pure chance! But it requires an infinity - something that goes well beyond the limitations of our universe and our understanding. It's easier to believe God created it for us than to believe in an inifinitely dividing universe and we just happened to get so lucky as to wind up in this one.

Before any of my foolish but Patriotic friends give me the standard, "Let them try, my guns are loaded and ready”, you have to understand I am not talking about guns.
"WEAPON” – "a means of gaining an advantage or defending oneself in a conflict or contest.”
So let me ask you a few questions:
Who has the WEAPON of the Press?
Who is taking the WEAPON of your speech, little by little?
Who is WEAPONIZING the education of your children and grandchildren?
Who is WEAPONIZING your movement within your country?
Who is WEAPONIZING the Climate?
Who is WEAPONIZING Antifa, BLM, and the Communists?
Who has WEAPONIZED your tax dollar, where it is spent and what is it spent for?
Who has WEAPONIZED your sports teams for propaganda purposes?
Who has WEAPONIZED your vote by disregarding it?
Who has WEAPONIZED your borders? Who is flooding you with Child traffickers, illegal and dangerous drugs, illegal guns and other criminals?
So, clutch your gun to your chest and go once a month to the range. They don’t care. The gun is a minor weapon in this war. China attacked us with A VIRUS, no guns involved, no explosions, no way to defend ourselves. China now owns your politicians, your justice department, your courts, and the rest of your government. They have infiltrated and purchased the Democrat Party. Your gun is useless.
Our WEAPONS of choice are KNOWLEDGE and TRUTH. We need to expose them and since they are open about it, it shouldn’t be too hard.
STAY A DEMOCRAT FOR ALL I CARE, BUT UNDERSTAND THIS AND GET YOUR PARTY BACK!!!!
Don’t you understand WHY the Democrats want to change the rules for SCOTUS? Term limits or the adding of additional Justices. They want to WEAPONIZE SCOTUS, too.
WEAPONS give them control and control gives them power against you. It’s all about WEAPONS!!!
