Putin isn’t stupid. He’s intelligent and most likely very mentally stable according to Dr. Jordan Peterson. That doesn’t mean he’s “moral”, but he’s not stupid.
Whoever runs Grandpa Joe blew up the pipeline.

the claim that russia blew up its own pipeline functions, whether intentionally or not, as a test of our collective intelligence, and it’s worrisome how many fail the test.
as a former pentagon official put it, “a child could tell you that doesn’t make sense”.
they talk a lot about russian propaganda and suppression of their media, which i don’t doubt for a minute.

didn't know silicon valley bank was so important for start-ups....now there's some sort of contagion, people taking their money from regional banks to the big banks.
.
system seems pretty resilient and different from 2008. thoughts?.
SVB.. massive profits during the Lockdowns, closely linked to Big Tech.. same group supporting the Summer of Love, BLM, Antifa, censorship… The top dogs pulled out just in time to make their $$$.
Don’t worry, ‘Ol Grandpa Joe says this won’t affect taxpayers. Just watch Netflix…

mass shooting at a kingdom hall in hamburg, germany this evening.
at least 6 or 7 killed, dozens injured.
single shooter on the run, police doesn't rule out more shooters.
Not true Fishy-Face, at least not here in the USA. There are limits, of course. Self-defense can be violent, but that doesn’t legally make me an assailant for not being the victim as defending oneself is legal.
If I practice some vigilante/Batman style justice then legally I would be viewed as an assailant. I won’t argue with that. I just won’t get caught…

yeah, so shamima begum's challenge has failed.. the ruling body has declared that the home secretary's stripping of her citizenship in 2016 was lawful.. there are some people who say she was somehow 'groomed' but this is complete bullshit.
she was no more groomed by isis than a 15 year-old kid, who sees an advert for chocolate and then goes out and buys a chocolate bar is being groomed by cadbury's, or whatever.. glad to see common sense has won out this time.. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/22/shamima-begum-loses-appeal-removal-british-citizenship.
She should run for Congress in the US. I hear “The Squad” needs some fresh ideas.

“transferring blame to the Watchtower is wrong. Nothing it does warrants violence. Saying that it does or excussing it therby is morally repugnant.”
Nothing warrants shooting innocent people, but I disagree that nothing the WT does warrants violence.
If my child was damaged for life by a sexual predator and the local Elders could’ve prevented it, then someone is getting a beating. The Pedo would definitely not escape without a significant beating.
Some people are so afraid of “violence” that they allow violence to become rampant. Sorry folks, violence is a part of life. If you aren’t capable of violence when necessary then you will be a victim.

my first post will be hidden in the far more important news about am3.
incredible!
who knows what the ramifications will be.. as a pimo who still believes in the bible and christ, i wanted to share the following fun fact about the latest study publications.
Well, just do some research on how many people are watching “The Chosen” and you’ll realize that JW growth is a statistical impossibility at this point.
Even non-religious folks are more interested in Jesus than in the Watchtower, which leaves all the potential growth to born-in members and new converts, aka not the best and brightest…
JWism peaked long ago…

Sounds like we need some insider information.

a topic was started over at reddit directing people's attention to a depiction on jw.org of the governing body.
it's not in their publication, only on the website under the topic of "what is the governing body?
but who are these guys in the depiction?.
The GB’s biggest mistake was drawing attention to themselves in the first place. Now it seems as though they want to put the Genie back in the bottle. Makes sense as the older GB are becoming useless, or like Tomo…. an embarrassment.
A shadowy group around a table seems like a logical depiction to slowly draw attention away from the GB. That would be the smart move. Place the GB helpers in the spotlight as the GB are too busy with weighty, spiritual matters.
I’m not sure their egos will allow them to make the smart move.. I hope not anyway… I would love to see them burn in flames in my lifetime..

nicola sturgeon has resigned as snp leader for one reason or another.
nothing to do with her f**king up when she wanted to put a male rapist in a women's prison.
oh dear, how sad, missing you already .... .
She looks like a former child actor trying to make a living at a Comic Book convention.

first new zealand's dictator resigned and now nicola sturgeon the first minister of scotland has announced her intention to go.. nobody is certain exactly what the trigger was but there are plenty of possibilities.
the final straw may have been her 'gender recognition' act that would have made it possible for anybody 16 and over to legally change their sex on a whim.
the vast majority of scots were opposed but she battered the legislation through holyrood regardless.
I’ve always had the impression that Scots didn’t take any shit. That’s probably from watching too many movies, like The Highlander…
I was shocked to learn how many Draconian abuses took place during the Pandemic scare. Don’t Scottish people have guns? That shit won’t fly here in the US which is why our Government desperately wants to disarm us.
New Zealand, yeah… I can see those Watiti Worshippers folding, but I didn’t expect that from the Scots. I suppose the “No True Scotsman” fallacy could be asserted by some..
