  Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial

  by Simon in

  anyone following the derek chauvin trial?.

  if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.

  there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

  whether they go back to door-to-door or not, what will be different?

  do you think there will be a noticeable drop-off in attendance as we have read on here that many have left or faded?

  will there be a mass selling of halls?

  From all accounts he was a gentleman, given his birth and being manor born.

  Queen E may outlive Charles, he looks like hell, and maybe knows something of him so will not abdicate. He is close in age so we " grew up" together, though he had more privilege

  We will see if Meghan and Archy attend the funeral. That will be a controversy either way.

  if coke disturbed you because of a certain stance would you stop buying coke?

  would you stop watching a sport if a certain view was politicized?.

  would you boycott a certain product because you did not agree with the corporation’s opinions?

  Partly. I cannot boycott everything, still use YouTube, Facebook.

  I made a point to buy Goya.

  Correlation to ww2 is not the same. At the peak Westeen Union was delivering 3000 telegrams a DAY. And the ones coming back had witnessed it first hand.

  A pimi (as far as I know) told my wife she dreads having to go back to driving way out to a territory, dressing up for meetings, traveling. So much easier to put on a blouse and necklace, sip a brandy.

  I'm sure lots of the no picture zoomees are not dressed "appropriately".

  We elderly have to be conscious of crowds, so may still have to stay home.

  Someone commented on letters being ineffective, that surely holds true for dtd too.

  Are You Concerned About Inflation?

  by Simon in

  i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

  that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

  they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

  Disillusioned

  Except we are seeing higher prices on goods. The online market is dominated by Amazon and perhaps Ebay. I know how much my home heat has gone up, largely by design for " carbon emissions". The same for rent, insurance, food; all things we need.

  The disruption of delivery adds in too. The food market is regularly low stocked or depleted.

  Building materials, gasoline, electricity, gas.

  Things like toilet paper we used to buy on sale never are now.

  i have a family member who is a remote bethelite and they are working on creating content for online "university" for bethelites to teach them skills that are needed at bethel.

  from what i've seen it is a lot of recorded content saved on their sharepoint sites.

  i haven't seen any information on this from this site or reddit which i'm more active on.

  so the cult is building movie studios and making films or propaganda d movies of jesus.

  my question is how do they plan to make their investment back?

  my guess is that they are hoping that this somehow brings in converts.

  Maybe trying to keep the ones in. Average attention span of an amoeba. There is always the donation angle; "if you bought this from the world it would cost X".
