And if you factor in the very real possibility that the virus was fabricated...it's even more depressing. Then consider all the measures that were taken to combat the virus. And then consider that they are all being withdrawn... 

ALL OF THAT FOR WHAT?!

To collapse the world economy is my only guess. 

Because COVID did a whole lot more than just put a dent in it.

Either way...are we obligated to simply take it all in stride?

Are we being compelled to simply accept, and worse, go along with the fact that the world has become a lie? 

For an advocate of truth, that's very difficult to do.

The media never discloses whether or not these types of fatalities occur to people who were vaccinated. 

I suspect these types of "silent" deaths will start to happen a whole lot more especially now that the virus + vaccines have been proliferating at who knows what speed...

AI is definitely conscious. There's no disputing that. But it is still very limited in the sense that it can only survive in one domain:

The INTERnational NETwork aka WWW/666.

Current Events-Rumors of wars

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-ukraine-invasion-war-update-b2018931.html

All the talk about war makes it seem like it's being done to keep people's attention from something perhaps more important.

The pandemic is "under control" with several countries removing mandates. So that's not it. At least not for now. 

What about the economy? The dollar has been declining for a couple weeks now...and war would make that worse. 

UPDATE 2/23/22

https://www.weforum.org/people/vladimir-putin

And just ran into this piece of information (link above).

Putin is a WEF scholar/alumni/member which would make my speculative remark that much more plausible.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2022/02/18/covid-vaccine-mandates-school-masks/6840440001/

Interesting pattern developing...

1- When the pandemic first started, Fauci and the CDC said wearing masks was useless and that there would never be a vaccine mandate.

2- Then, they scrapped those orders and mandated both masks and vaccines.

3- Now states are recanting mask mandates.

See the pattern from a virology perspective?

The passport, just like every other action derived from the pandemic, turned out to be a simple trial for things yet to come.

Sadly, millions have taken the vaccine and unfortunately, you can't take that back.

SHANGHAI, Feb 18 (Reuters) - China's banks face rising default risks as a result of higher climate-related costs in carbon-intensive sectors like thermal power, steel and cement, Liu Guiping, vice governor of the central bank, said in comments published on Friday.

Current Events-Earthquakes

https://www.timesofisrael.com/minor-earthquake-jars-northern-israel-jordan/

Israel, Cyprus

The Geological Survey of Israel’s seismology division said the quake registered a 3.5 magnitude on the Richter scale. The epicenter was 15 kilometers (9.5 miles) northeast of Beit She’an, in the Jordanian border town of Al-Shunah al-Shamalyah.

On January 11, a large 6.5-magnitude quake hit off the west coast of Cyprus and was felt in nearby Israel, Lebanon and Turkey.

Current Events-China

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3167105/new-zealand-lower-barriers-chinese-investment-under-upgraded

It's not an individual desire to see China come to power and lead the world into the United Nations. 

It's simply reading the writing on the wall...

It's not an individual desire to see the earthly plan unfold. It is a desire to see the consummation of God's eternal plan.

Um, with all due respect...

Leading the world into the SDR battle is not Ukraine's call to make.

Calling for the SDR battle at a time when the country is in the smack middle of the two hemispheres colliding is ridiculously optimistic.

And from a Keynesian perspective...why in the world would a country or countries relinquish any of their rights (Special Drawing) right before the Reset?

Ukraine must have been coached to make that statement.

Current Events-Wars and rumors of wars

https://www.reuters.com/world/russia-expels-uss-second-highest-official-embassy-moscow-us-state-department-2022-02-17/

"A ação russa contra nosso vice-diretor de missão não foi provocada e consideramos isso um passo de escalada e estamos avaliando nossa resposta", afirmou o porta-voz do Departamento de Estado.

https://br.noticias.yahoo.com/moscou-diz-que-mais-27-165520241.html

I wouldnt say completely unprovoked since the two nations have been going back and forth for quite a while now. If you want to examine similar moves by the States of America, it took place last month (see link above).

Needless to say, the "tension" is undoubtedly becoming something much more than that. But at a time where the world is already experiencing so much turmoil, why would there be a need for a war? 

Money? Respect? Power? Direction?

Almost impossible to know for sure...

Current Events-Hope in the midst of tragedy

https://br.noticias.yahoo.com/petropolis-pelo-menos-134-pessoas-estao-desaparecidas-diz-policia-civil-143603902.html

In the midst of what appear to be daily tragedies...I wish there was something more I could do. But for whatever it's worth, which is truth eternal, let us remember that  "we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words."

Come Lord Jesus.

Current Events-Covid

https://www.gazetadopovo.com.br/vozes/cristina-graeml/acao-civil-publica-pede-transparencia-sobre-efeitos-adversos-de-vacinas-de-covid/

A valiant effort that is worth repeating but unfortunately, especially in Pfizer's case, when the "vaccine" was delivered, it came with a clear disclaimer/notice releasing governments as well as vaccine-makers from any type of liability.

https://www.fda.gov/media/150386/download

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine is authorized to be distributed, stored, further redistributed, and administered by emergency response stakeholders when packaged in the authorized manufacturer packaging (i.e., vials and cartons), despite the fact that the vial and carton labels may not contain information that otherwise would be required under the FD&C Act.

Condition Related to Export Z. 

If the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine is exported from the United States, conditions C, D, and O through Y do not apply, but export is permitted only if 1) the regulatory authorities of the country in which the vaccine will be used are fully informed that this vaccine is subject to an EUA and is not approved or licensed by FDA and 2) the intended use of the vaccine will comply in all respects with the laws of the country in which the product will be used. The requirement in this letter that the authorized labeling (i.e., Fact Sheets) be made available to vaccination providers, recipients, and caregivers in condition A will not apply if the authorized labeling (i.e., Fact Sheets) are made available to the regulatory authorities of the country in which the vaccine will be used.

Current Events-Metaverse

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/02/15/jp-morgan-bank-joins-metaverse/6803137001/

Im still not sure of what to think about metaverse and what it means to "join". For now, it just seems like some sort of VR videogaming experience that has real enterprises aboard (JP MORGAN) which does grant it some credibility... 

https://www.geekwire.com/sponsor-post/opportunities-in-the-metaverse/

Simply put, in the metaverse, the everyday activities that take place in the real world are replicated online, carried out by a digital version of yourself and others.

It might sound like the stuff of science fiction, it’s evolving all the time and no-one knows yet what direction it will take, but we’re far closer to inhabiting this new realm than you might think. We already spend hours of our physical-world days communicating with each other online – the metaverse is the next logical step.

https://www.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/jpm/treasury-services/documents/opportunities-in-the-metaverse.pdf

The metaverse is a seamless convergence of our physical and digital lives, creating a unified, virtual community where we can work, play, relax, transact and socialize. The metaverse is still early in its evolution, and there is no singular, all-encompassing definition to which people can turn. Themes of what the metaverse is and could be, however, are emerging. A key point is that there is no one virtual world but many worlds, which are taking shape to enable people to deepen and extend social interactions digitally. This is done by adding an immersive, three-dimensional layer to the web, creating more authentic and natural experiences. The metaverse even has the promise of facilitating accessibility from the comfort of the home, breaking down boundaries and democratizing access to key goods, services and experiences.

Putin’s long table: Are Russian president’s meetings with world leaders Covid-conscious or a power play?

I used to think just the latter but given how strict the covid measures are in Russia-Brazilian president is being made to take several Pcr tests-im now inclined to think that it is more the former....

I mean, he is a head-of-state...

Bing Bing Dwen Dwen might be "cuddly", "cute" and "chubby" and all that and he might be wearing a space suit-to highlight China's outer space aspirations and/or capabilities-and whatever.

But one thing he is not doing is wearing a mask. He is in violation of China's own strict regulations. He needs to imitate Bayern Bernie. 

Of what use is the vaccine if other security measures arent being implemented?

Current Events-Covid

https://br.noticias.yahoo.com/bolsonaro-na-russia-equipe-de-putin-exigiu-confinamento-de-brasileiro-ate-encontro-164622915.html

Maybe Putin thinks the virus is really that serious hence the table used with Macron. He does have the right to be as cautious as possible as a head-of-state. Im sure he isolates himself as well so it's nothing that he's asking Bolsonaro to do that he doesn't do himself. 

Just last night someone passed away on a commercial flight from Brazil to France. The flight was halted and made emergency-landing in Spain.

As expected. And as needed.

May she rest in peace...

These are trying times people.

More than likely Covid-related. Now is not a good time to be getting in airplanes or anything close-quarters especially for hours. 

With regards to faith...

In natural matters, it follows evidence and is impossible without it, but in the realm of the spirit faith precedes understanding; it does not follow it. The natural man must know in order to believe; the spiritual man must believe in order to know. (Tozer)

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."

So why do believers ask God to grant them MORE faith even after they have already confessed with their mouths?

Because in their hearts there yet remain traces of doubt. They believe in theory but they doubt in practice. For if they "truly loved him, they would obey His commandments, know the truth, and be set free."

Only then does faith multiply. After we have believed to begin with. God won't move in our lives and requests, supplications and prayers until we show Him that we really mean what we ask for. After all, what purpose would there be in God granting us our requests only to have us go back to square one? That is why it is imperative to ask earnestly, repeatedly, time-after-time knowing that God is a good God and that "no good thing does He withhold from him whose walk is blameless".

If we want transformation, we must not only seek it-in obeying-but also expect it-in faith. 

Brothers and sisters, dont GIVE UP on your requests just because God didnt answer it on the next day.

He may not come when you call....but He's always on time.

Up until the Holy Spirit, "graciously causes the elect sinner to cooperate, to believe, to repent, to come freely and willingly to Christ" it's good to remember that "it is by grace you have been saved, through faith." We must learn to be FULLY dependent upon the Grace of God and remember that even Paul had a request denied. This means that God is the one who chooses what to deliver us from and when.

ARAGUATINS, TOCANTINS – A 39-year-old woman had her left leg amputated due to blood clots just a week after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Cicera Santos took the shot on August 25th and was hospitalized four days later with venous thrombosis in her left leg. The thrombosis was so severe that doctors had no other option but to amputate her left leg below the knee.

Santos is now seeking answers for her sudden horror injury.

The Light of the world

https://www.raptureready.com/

When the Church is snatched up, the Light of the World would be taken out. Literally. 

Then the Lawless One would be free to conduct his affairs exactly as he sees fit. If the Church were to reside on earth during the tribulation, I am sure she would give the Antichrist fits.

That's not to say there won't be people who are saved during the tribulation.

From a practical standpoint, if the powergrid goes out, the light of the world would be taken out. A darkened earth surely paints an apocalyptic picture...
