I think the so called antichrist moniker can be misleading. Taken from a biblical point of view and using Gematria, all results lead towards Rome and particular Roman leaders in that time period. Makes sense when you consider the oppressions of the time. Using gematria where totals add up to 666 works consistently for this. A lot of people presume that the bible is talking about future events with the beast etc, but for those a few thousand years ago it would very much have seemed the end of days. Understanding bible verses to be be prophetic is much like reading Nostradamus. You can make it fit anything that suits your way of thinking. Whether the state of the world today, from any point of view, is the work of the Devil or not is open to personal belief. Regardless of what is behind the world today, it certainly does consider the interests of the Earth or its inhabitants as important to its goals. In a hellish way, yes. In a nurturing way, no. I have books with reference to the Roman angle. When I have time I will screen shot the pertinent pages, if anyone is interested.

Elaborate please. Sounds interesting.

As a mod looking from the other side of things, I believe there to be far too many topics here. Hundreds with little or no response. As either a member or mod I think it can be off putting to trawl through so much. Ok, as a mod I acknowledge it is my responsibility to keep things in order. The problem arises that by merging content it can very often lead to incoherent posts because of posts being directly tied to time. There are some really good topics that deserve more attention Imo. I just don’t have the time or permission to go through everything. It would take weeks of dedicated time to resolve. There is then the issue of offending members when mods act. I shouldn’t really comment on moderation but I feel it is important for members to be aware of the logistics in resolving issues. Also that it’s difficult to keep everyone happy and find a middle ground. When you suggest members such as @lake get more involved in making others aware, I think you have a good point. The problem for @lake and others such as @Macnamara for example is that very often great debatable content is ignored or swamped by pointless replies. I imagine it must be demoralising to heavily research a subject to be met with indifference. Im not implying you do this @Captainlove. Just making a general observation of appearances on many topics. MOD NOTE: If more members of standing would consider being moderators it would make resolving the important issues more manageable.

All joking aside, I have learnt how many people view the forum as a stepping stone to meeting David Icke. Not you all. Prat’s who get banned straight away! You are all as nuts as I am. We can’t agree on anything so we are doomed to failure.

I have learnt that a lot of members feel they can abuse moderators without being punished. That members get pissy if they don’t get agreement to everything they post. Most don’t want to learn anything, they want an echo chamber. Virtually no discussion on most subjects. No one reads or respects the forum rules. Not to worry though you can slag me off on the Crowhouse.

First time I’ve read this. I agree with @Nicha. Come back and chat. I’m always up for it.

Do we need to use Twitter as the source of everything in this topic? It’s generally used by a bunch of idiots whose voice is not worth hearing.

Stop the bs and get back on topic please. No replies needed.

It’s not difficult to moderate. It’s not allowed end of.

Better drainage and more reservoirs would help. Scotland could probably provide for the whole of the U.K. Imo.

It’s poured down from January to April where I am in Cornwall. Still hose pipe bans in place. Seems to me where I am thst reservoirs are redistributing the water between themselves to give the appearance of scarcity.

MOD NOTE: Can we get Bach on topic please.

MOD NOTE: Best not to do this, because any member who votes will most likely be banned because of Forum rules.

Going further back. Wasn’t Horus the rewrite from Sumerian myths, as well?

I reckon my Lady is behind chatgpt. She makes no sense either and she is always right.

On another note. I think the isles have always faced invasion of some sort. Foreign or domestic. Not always by country’s but by ideologies or groups. Most likely the same in any country really. It’s not a good thing but to raise awareness makes you a nutter or bigot. My idea of country is a group of people working towards shared goals and values. I don’t care what personal beliefs a person may have as long as they support the whole. Maybe because I am from a pre internet generation I can see the harm the internet has done at all levels of society. Read an article a few minutes ago about younger people feeling more lonely. The net has eroded at an incredible speed people confidence, social awareness and ability to interact person to person imo. How many people interact with others and laugh and joke nowadays? All humour is not allowed by the left and woke brigade.

What do you mean by “your country?” Depending how far you go back the demographic changes a lot. Not digging just wonder what time period you consider the base standard. I can trace direct family ties to all U.K. countries. Pretty sure there’s some Germanic and Scandinavian as well. To be expected considering how many invasions our fair isles have seen.

Modern day Hieronymus Bosch.

Exactly. I do my best thinking surrounded by nature. Plus the healing power of trees is now well documented and proven. They release chemicals which interact with us at a genetic level. When we feel good surrounded by trees, we really do feel good.

On another note. I think we can awaken ourselves to a myriad of things just by slowing down and being in the moment. Today I was at a place called St Gothans nature reserve. Saw Canada Geese fledglings. Just starting out on their own journey. Moments like this put a lot of things into perspective for me. The universe carries on regardless of me, but if I take the time it will share beautiful moments always. It also teaches me how little it needs me as well. Nature always humbles me and is a great way to reduce the ego.

Rush did this for me. Lyrics always thought provoking. Smoking weed and listening to them opened up many lines of thinking.

I think “being awake” is a really broad subject. It’s easy to be aware of some things and not others. I.e: taking a non conformist attitude to health and well being, Spirituality etc, but still not being aware of the conspiracies going on around you. Though it’s probably a bit like drug use. Just because you take one drug doesn’t mean you will try others, though certainly the likelihood of exposure to others is likely. One part of being “awake” I think is to be able to sieve quicker through the inundation of misinformation, deliberate or not. My earliest memories are of resisting any type of indoctrination, regardless of the source. I chose music and books for really odd reasons. I would pick library books which had few or no stamps. (Remember those days!). Wondered why they were not borrowed. Turns out most was more alternate thinking. Same with choices in direction whilst walking. I always choose the least inviting looking path. Needed to see that it was fine, just imagination. Were all born to question, 100%. Just need to avoid time spent in places, or with people, who drain us.

An animal backed into a corner is the most dangerous imo. I was speaking to an ex squaddie yesterday about how Russia seems so crap. His response was to put their attempts at war to one side and look at the bigger picture. He stated that all the war zones he went to were political wars not wars. Something we are all aware of. Plus remember if the west wasn’t arming Ukraine and we didn’t have forces inside Ukraine, Ukraine war would have ended in Ukrainian surrender months ago.

This is crazy stuff. Never heard of it before your post.
