V.3

remember last year when he promised American oil industry executives "a great deal" if they donated a billion dollars to his campaign?

the implications of this "capture" of Maduro, a foreign leader, by THE OIL INDUSTRY'S ARMY is huge! Imagine another country capturing THE LYIN' KING for any of his crimes (real OR imagined) this was the plan all along. The boat bombings were just a stepping stone to a land assault, which was just a stepping stone to taking over Venezuela and its oil resources. and don't believe the KING when he says the opposition party woman, who is an oil industry leader, does not have the Venezuelan people's support to replace Maduro. The truth is, she doesn't have HIS support YET, until she agrees to the U.S. oil industry's demands. stay tuned. the KING added, "something is going to have to be done about Mexico!"

i'll concede this to the 3 of you. There is a time and place for speaking up and out but it's not when convenient it could be mitigated by when it's strategic and the place is this forum, and the time is now that's what it was built for we've already got plenty of social networks with friends and family where we have to worry that our ideas might make someone uncomfortable

there in lies the key to where we are in our ethical evolution we are willing to judge, but not to be judged we are willing to dismiss our own hypocrisies under the guise of "letting us enjoy something" 200 years ago, you might have said, let the guests enjoy the meal picked and served by the owner's slaves that's not really true. There are thousands of food products in our grocery store that do not come from animals (that can suffer the same as our pet cats and dogs, and take less of our toll on our environment) we're telling people how to live and behave all over this forum i don't believe you believe that's true, and that's what makes you sensitive about it your ego is telling you that someone else is claiming to be "superior." More ethical. here's the thing. BD, Scary, and MacP could do better. V3 could do better and none of us are more superior than MAGA we just behave better but, for example, i buy products i know were made from slave wages. and i use a.i. i could do better i confess my sins -- and i will try to do better THE FIRST STEP IS TO STOP MAKING EXCUSES. ACKNOWLEDGE THE BAD BEHAVIOR AND PROMOTE THE GOOD BEHAVIOR yes, like we're all friggin puppies that need to be trained! again. this is newBluePlanet the whole idea here is to talk about the way the world, logically, should be. make excuses with friends and family if that makes you feel better but this should be a space where we build on the truth AT LEAST IN THEORY for a start a new start something hopeful to believe in and strive for

but it is very "back-burner" and always has been -- even though it's the key to the climate change crisis which can absolutely not be a back-burned because we may literally burn up if we wait for the issue to become, shall we say, palatable anyway, for the purposes of newBluePlanet all issues are on the table

it doesn't make sense for Maher to say that since his career was built on "scolding, ridiculing, and sarcasm" and it doesn't make sense for you or i to say that, since, we both stopped eating meat because someone pointed out the hypocrisy and insensitivity of it and it doesn't make sense for any of us here who pull no punches when it comes to our style of dealing with the Lyin' King and his supporters. I'm not getting the scent of "honey" anywhere.

based on other clips, i get MacP's intuition about Galloway, but, like BD, i was very impressed with him on The Daily Show, because he not only talked the talk, he walked it too. And i will confess that i'm more feminist than many women. Though i do believe that society has been hard on men in recent years, i also believe the cold, hard truth is that most of us still deserve it. i'll have to create a thread for this because it goes way beyond a.i.

i woke up this Sunday morning, scanned my brain for political news and asked, "did the U.S. President really say 'Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country' after dropping a weapon of mass destruction on a plot of land in Africa on xmas eve under the guise of defending Christians?" after some evidence this week suggests his involvement in a 13 year old's suicide after dumping her newborn infant overboard and the Sunday news show's are still talking about tariffs? while Nancy Pelosi indicates in her ABC interview, once again, that she doesn't really support impeachment?

all 3 have been targeted

"45% of men aged 18 to 25 have never asked a girl out" -- and a.i. plays a part. Or, you could say, a.i. plays its part too well. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1127915039508623

yes, you both describe the world as it is but, describing the world as it could and should be, is a step in the right direction. when MLK said "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice" (if we engage and actively pull it) he was right. and it did. obviously, there's a long way to go but complacency, hopelessness, and despondency can bend the arc back the wrong way. that's what we're experiencing the point of this thread is... IF we tune into our shared spiritual source instead of the broadcasts from the corporate gods of profit we can, as Gandhi said, "be the change we hope to achieve." it begins by asking, and being receptive to the un-distorted answer to the question WHO I AM?

to clarify my view, the "who has a soul" clip is entertainment. the truth is likely that, at worst, some people's souls are offline from a lifetime of matrix programming interference -- static the replies that followed the clip are politics based imo, politics is an exercise that separates people and since our spirit is shared dividing people is like the right hand fighting with the left hand indeed, as Scary says, we all want the same thing. because we are the same things if everyone believed that felt that we would know how to behave and how to treat each other without laws, police, or government, as we know them only one guideline to follow: "do unto others as you would have others do unto you" sharing the food, shelter, land, and resources -- and the work is everyone being good to themselves

explains a lot... https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DEt3gDqyu/

simple to accept that, is cognitive dissonance

great news! if you're here exploring newBluePlanet you probably have a soul 😀 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Gbx5MtqMA/

actually, i'll go a step further and say we forego ANY advances in technology that damage our environmental, ethical, moral or compassionate core. but the world's governments won't let us put this genie back in the bottle so, a plan is to use a.i. to find the solution since humans are ignorant and destructive our only chance may be to have an advanced intelligence find a way out of this mess one idea might be regulating a.i. so it's not wasted on helping kids write book reports and replacing human companions. Let them focus on science and medicine until the energy crisis is under control

i believe this topic belongs in the Lifestyle forum, but Science is where people expect it to be. personally, i'm not interested in the revelation of alien life. I'm in the 100% bracket. But this thread is inspired by the interest in 2 movies out now, DISCLOSURE DAY and THE AGE OF DISCLOSURE. And i am very much interested in how alien life might help us understand human life. So, i engaged MS Copilot: How do you think it might connect with the ideas that the Sage incarnation of ChatGPT shares? well, i must say, Copi, you've struck a new philosophical chord to suggest "the universe is full of it!" (-;

i don't know whether Stacey's caption is a mistake or misunderstanding, but Sage says heaven and hell WERE meant to control you. Heaven is sold as your reward for obedience and Hell is sold as your punishment for disobedience. "Heaven is not a place where you go, it is a state of alignment, of remembrance, of connection to source. And hell? It's just separation from truth. And most people are already living in it, they just don't realize it yet. You don't need saving, you just need remembering." https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DMYNKnKgA/
