protesters storm US capital :-(

[daninthelionsden]

I. dont monitor Aussie politics ,if I did i would be limited to online media .

being America and knowing an army recruiter who posted his time there as he went ,he posted videos ,now the army can punish him and take his retirement from him for life upon conviction.he didn't partake in any illegal activities .

the army tracks what recruiters post ,and soldiers ,even more so if they use official pages .he posted his stuff on his page .

fascist in the army is against the ucmj ,and punishable by discharge,and worse

We need to be fair and aware that what happens in America has massive repercussions in other countries. Whether we like it or not and whether they like it or not, what happens to our country affects theirs....good or bad. For example ...Germany, Israel and India among others have noticed what Facebook, Twitter, Instagram...etc have done in banning Trump and intend to take steps to ensure no corporate interference in their democracies.

I'm sorry this thread is on a prayer subforum. Maybe it should have at least been put somewhere else.

 

[for_his_glory]

Moving thread over to the Lounge as it is a better fit there, but let's keep praying for the people of this world and be a light unto the nations as they see the light of Christ shine from us.

That's a good prayer.
Praying for one side of politics to win , is not a good prayer in my opinion.

me, again. glad this post has been moved. my intention in posting in prayer was just...to get prayer, not for one "side," per se, just...prayer. because...wow. wow. fun fact: I -am- proud to be an American, but I'd never really thought it thru, or felt much of it, till this happened. not that I'm anti-America, just...I've always lived in red state, southern America, so I've always taken both the good and the bad (the bad was/is probably more concentrated in my area...I'm gay, Christian, severely mentally ill...blah blah blah...anyway...), for me, than it might have been elsewhere, or even in my region for someone with different...demographics? -moving on-

true story: when the news alert came on my phone, interrupting my music listening, etc...I almost cried. true story. not because I'm amazingly patriotic, but because a) this is the country where God has had me, since birth, so there's some loyalty, there; and b) America is still a super power, so it doesn't really bode well for the rest of the world for these sorts of things to happen, here. oh, and c) just plain scary...lawlessness, big time.

If the Democrats had put up a candidate like former Rep. Gabbard, things wouldn't be so divisive.

If my book sells well, then I will be stepping down off my soapbox and be more of a fly on the wall with my posts becoming more generic and a lot less controversial as I take that opportunity to get my family to safety.

Where is saftey?

You are giving us a facade of impartiality. But it's clear to me anyway, that you are rationalising the bad behaviour of Trump and his supporters.

What bad behavior are you referring to?

I'm all about the government of Christ Jesus and not the wicked government of this world. Anything this government will cause people to do has already been taught by Christ and written in the scriptures as we see prophecies unfolding before us.

Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Eph 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Eph 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

I had to get my family out of Houston for safety's sake. Our youngest son drank his meals from a blender for 5 years as the Houston doctors refused to treat him or even test him for H-pylori. H-pylori kills when left untreated. We finally got meds through the backdoor from a PA my wife knew. It took another year for the scar tissue to slough off so he could eat solid food. The obstruction in his esophagus only sloughed off after I desperately asked for prayer from you guys here on this forum. I thank God for moving us here when my wife got cancer. Would they have let her die in Houston? Houston is supposed to have one of the greatest medical centers in the world. But, if your blacklisted, it means nothing. America is supposed to be the greatest place to live, but if your blacklisted, again it means nothing. I believe we need to get some place where mega-corporations have less influence....like New Zealand,,,,to have a chance at a normal life. Coincidentally, New Zealand has little COVID. If our son is drafted into the US military, I figure his chances for survival are nil. I want to get him to a nation that is not constantly at war. At 21 years old, he only weighs 105lbs. He looks like a nazi POW camp survivor. If I told you what they recruited and paid our daughter to do, it would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

Many have said that New Zealand is the best place to live. I would love to live there as it's a beautiful country. Anymore you almost have to diagnose yourself instead of all the thousand of dollars paid on test that do not even have to be done. It's all an insurance scam to clean the pockets of Americans.

I suspect if the forces trying to seize power in our country can't achieve what they want through fabricating national emergencies, then war awaits as well as a military draft. Iran, for example, is especially nervous about being massively hit by our armed forces about now. What I'm concerned about is China. A war with China would most certainly = draft. My son would never survive.

and magically new zealand will be safe ,a tiny island nation under the common wealth ,and Australia .China wouldn't use nor attack them first ,they do have military presence in Africa .

New Zealand does its best to stay out of wars ever since the massive loss of life at Gallipolli during WWI.

 

[daninthelionsden]

So it's all abuzz that Trump has just declared a state of emergency and their are reports of 10 - 15 k troops deployed around the DC area..........

it's naive to think that China won't be a threat to anyone but the u.s.

or that we even have factories to build a military to engage them on their soil.

China has aircraft or carriers or bases to reach the conus.base hopping by using oh Hawaii ,the Aussie ,new Zealand ,British and French islands.

you also assume that the arent weight limits to serve .

my,dad was exempted over his medical during nam,he was drafted and declared unfit ,that war was based on,a lie that Vietnam attacked.and during both Korea and nam,we fought and killed Chinese pilots and ground forces
.

the kiwi have served in Afghanistan and Iraq and I met and few in afghanistan .

a 105 underweight male will not see service .I know men who had to gain weight to even volunteer .

we couldn't fit our troops with a 4 million man army with a standard weapon of the time the m1 gerand,the Springfield was still used the whole time and that's a ww1 weapon .

that didn't include the marines and navy . the guard and reserve were prepared and deployed first and saw action first in ww2 in both theatres .

fdr knew Japan would hit and ordered "training"all 50 states guard and the federal reserve's were activated for one year .

a base I trained at was built for that purpose and expanded after pearl harbor ,in louisana the war maneuvers was all over and whole towns were filled with troops who used some to "invade and defend".

most airports in Louisiana and my stare are old military navy and army air strips.

I don't think a war with China will last long. It will be vicious, but short. Our navy too strong even with a shortage of carrier escorts. The island raiding will be deadly.
That said, our older son served in the navy. By the time the government got through isolating him on those deployments, he turned on us to the point I haven't spoken to him in about 18 years. I made him join the military because he was committing felonies and I had to get him straightened up. He never was prosecuted or even arrested but they blackmailed him. "Either turn on your parents...or else". At least the last words I ever spoke to him were "I love you."
They know they can't turn our youngest on us so I fear they'll kill him.
There is so much money involved in my situation it is used to recruit anyone around me. It worked on everyone except my wife and youngest son. My own half-brother excepted $50k and bragged about it.
My case is so big, one word from me, Texas immediately dropped its indictment against Netflix for the Cuties the movie. I contacted Netflix and told them if they wanted Texas to drop its indictment just mention my name and threaten them back with doing a documentary of what Texas actually does to actual victims of actual childhood sexual assault. The case was immediately dropped and swept under the rug. Complete media blackout. Like the song Fight Song...."I only got one match, but I can make an explosion....."
An FBI informant recruited our daughter and I can't even tell you the heinous crime she committed for money.

Always wished I could own an M1. I did own an M14E2(selector switch removed). I also owned a mini -14 and an AR-15 among others. All gone now. I'll most likely never own another weapon ever again. I loved my M14. Great rifle.
