Someone just shared this video with me, and it's not bad. I especially like the part about the IRS and the Fed soon coming to an end! It makes me wonder, though: if Obama really were convicted of treason, would Trump pardon him? Or would a recent Supreme Court decision give Obama immunity from prosecution since he was president at the time? If Obama were convicted of treason or even executed that could really provoke a civil war along political and "racial" lines... https://rumble.com/v6ws0iy-big-update-condensed.html

#TodayILearned that Edwin Booth, older brother of John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated U.S. president Abraham Lincoln, is considered by many to be the greatest American actor of the 19th century. Edwin Booth also once saved the life of Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, from serious injury or even death, during a train platform accident in early 1864 or early 1865, but did not know the identity of the man whose life he had saved until some months later. "The fact that he had saved the life of Abraham Lincoln's son was said to have been of some comfort to Edwin Booth following his brother's assassination of the president." #TIL

> "We all live under a lawless regime, one to which the Supreme Court dutifully defers. And it’s not just the destructive paper-money system under which they plunder and loot us and bring us an endless series of economic booms and busts.  There are also the unconstitutional wars that presidents wage without the congressional declaration of war that the Constitution requires — wars to which the Supreme Court, again, dutifully defers. There is also the military draft, which is not among the powers that the Constitution vests in the federal government. Indeed, where are the powers to establish a welfare state and a national-security state? Where are the powers to engage in state-sponsored assassinations, torture, coups, and wars of aggression? Where are the powers to establish a socialist (i.e., central planning) system of immigration controls and the militarized immigration police state, including mass violent deportations, that comes with it? > > "The dark reality is the federal government forces us to obey its laws, such as with its evil and immoral war on drugs, while, at the same time, ignores the higher law of the Constitution that we the American people have placed on federal officials. Let us never forget that as Thomas Jefferson pointed out in the Declaration of Independence, when any government becomes destructive of the rights and liberties of the people, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish that government and institute new government that protects, not destroys, our rights, freedom, and well-being."

> "So, why is it that America now has a paper-money system? It is undeniable that the Constitution has never been amended to abolish the gold coin/silver coin system and replace it with a paper-money system. Yet, it is also undeniable that despite the fact that the Constitution doesn’t vest the federal government with the power to issue paper money, it has been doing precisely that for almost 100 years. Moreover, it is also undeniable that although the Constitution prohibits the states from making anything but gold coins and silver coins legal tender, the states have been making paper money legal tender for that same length of time."

> "Instead of adding to the deficits and total debt, which is what this [Big Beautiful] bill does, I would have liked to see an outright default on the national debt. > ...The Fed should be abolished. Gold should be reinstated as the national currency. About 90% of Federal agencies should be abolished. The “defense” budget should be decreased by 75%, instead of being increased to a trillion dollars per year. All US troops should withdraw from all foreign bases. The government should resign its membership in the UN, NATO, and scores of other clubs and treaties. All aid and subsidies of domestic corporations and foreign governments should cease… There’s a lot more, but that’s a good start." –Doug Casey

Amen! Good stuff. I "read" through the Bible every year. I say "read" in quotes because I actually listen to audio Bible podcasts that break it down into a few chapters a day (can that be called "auditing"?) This year I am going through a recording of the New Living Translation, which is not the most strictly literal, but is still very good, in my opinion, and sounds like the way we speak today, and can be a way to have a fresh look at Scripture. If reading the #Bible or the same passages ever gets stale to you, it can help to read it in a different translation. In recent years I've been listening to a different translation each year. Last year it was the #Christian Standard Bible, and the English Standard Version before that, etc. I like to read the Bible in contemporary English because even though it wasn't written in contemporary English, it was writtren in the everyday speech to the original audiences. We don't speak in "thees" and "thous" today; the Pilgrims and Puritans did, and for them that was their contemporary, everyday speech, but we are 500-600 removed from their time! I'm glad to have your faithful voice here on #Nostr encouraging people on the path! "Then #Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples." (John 8:31)

> Biden also pardoned Anthony Fauci, former chief medical advisor to the president; former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley; and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots. Less than half an hour before Trump became president, Biden also pardoned members of his family, including his brothers James B. Biden and Francis W. Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens and brother-in-law John T. Owens. And his son Hunter. And still, there will likely be another Devilcrat in the White House again, if the Republic doesn't fall first.
