@BrianJopek
Pretty bold of these people to think they can order Jesus around.@Dougfir And that's exactly why they are the opposite of being his follower.

"Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war.
With the cross of Jesus, going on before.."Fucking idiots are still fighting the crusades .....
@oldguycrusty @mls14 @ArmyGirl @BrianJopek I remember that being used as a punchline in a satirical sketch about Tony Blair "singing from the same hymn sheet" as George W Bush while they were attempting to make their case during the run up to the invasion of Iraq.
Back then, Blair was seen as being dragged into it by Bush, and didn't want there to be any perception of it being a 'religious war'. It's scary but unsurprising that they're willing to use that language now, although I doubt that the motivation really is that for everyone involved.
(There might not be much in it, but do I wonder about the sequencing of Venezuelan oil tanker captures not long before a SMO pushes oil prices way up.)

The only reason why somebody like Hegseth would lose his mind over a corporation stating they would not participate in military mass surveillance of the US population or an automated killing, is because they are planning to do it.
This is the same shit that went on in Gaza that is where all of this technology has been field tested already.
Gaza is a blueprint
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @BrianJopek they better hope their AI systems are secure because it would only take one hacker to turn their automated killing drones against them

For standing against everything he ever stood for."
SearingTruth@SearingTruth @samiamsam @BrianJopek He would at the very least be very disappointed.

@BrianJopek Be really curious to hear what they say when that doesn’t happen.
The military didn’t light the signal fire right?
Not enough soldiers believed it hard enough?@reay @BrianJopek They'll double down, come up with some story like "you've shown that the world is worthy so it's been given a stay of execution" and it'll strengthen rather than weaken their delusion, exactly the same as you see apocalyptic cults.
I should say I'm saying this as someone with a faith of my own. I think this is a distinguishing sign between honest religious belief and a dangerous cult: one is willing to live with doubt and question everything, the other is afraid of ever giving any impression of doubt or uncertainty, so always has to go further in the face of contrary evidence.
I don't think anyone unafraid to acknowledge they might be wrong would come out with that speech. These people are fanatics, but sadly, they get seen as representative and thus give all religion a bad name.

@GerardThornley @oldguycrusty @mls14 @ArmyGirl @BrianJopek it’s always been part of motivation for the support of the Israel project. None of this stuff is ever caused by a single factor. Insider trading is a big element too, as is looking like a war leader coming into midterms.

> Now go, attack Amolek, and proscribe, kill and dedicate to YHWH, all that belongs to him. Spare no one, but kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings, oxen and sheep, camels and asses
As Netanyahu stated at the beginning of Israel's genocide on #palestine their objective was killing Amolek. Now they attack #iran in the hope of creating Greater Israel and the third temple for their Messiah, literally!

Oil proces disrupted, strikes all over the middle east? No visible plan on the part of Trump apart from thinking that killing the leaders would make a difference?

Jesus! I would have gone ape shit on any NCO or officer talking that crap. I thought it was always humourous when our ship's chaplain would pray for a successful evolution the night before an operation
