April 2016

12:26 AM - April of 2016 - Anna English forked into Math English at McDonald's Dien Bien Phu and later at Nguyen Hue. My stay at Anna Hostel ended around the middle of April of 2016 I'm guessing. Purio English resumed. FYG English stopped around February or March of 2016. I was trying to fix my visa. I was still emailing family and others about my visa problem. There were debate threads on Facebook concerning me, Anna, her family, my visa problem, etc. I was probably not at the 23/9 park a lot after like January 2016. I eventually began teaching Bank English around April or maybe May. I went with Anna and her family to Dalat in like March or April. I was watching The Walking Dead, Star Wars Rebels, etc.

Steem Banning?

01:10 AM - Steemit

When you say shadow banning on Steemit, you mean downvoting right? Because flagging means content is hidden. That means people have to click a button to unhide it. So, in some ways, that is like shadow banning. I don't like that content hides when it is flagged below zero dollars. I understand why people favor that system. I think there should be upvotes and no downvotes. We still have flags. That means like a democracy. But I prefer a republic over mob-ruling democracy in theory. Ironically, Facebook and Twitter has likes (upvotes) and no dislike buttons. Reddit and YouTube has likes and dislikes. I don't mind having a dislike or downvote button. But it might be dangerous and stuff.

I had a crush on my Mexican neighbor in Oregon in the early 2000's. I love Mexicans. Beautiful.

Jefferson YouTube Debate

01:48 AM - IWA

Thursday, the 22nd of August of 2019, Jefferson called into the War Room during the third hour at 34:20 minutes in talking about getting the U.S. government to regulate YouTube. Jefferson also mentioned having debates, like fights online. The question would be who decides who wins. Well, either government or perhaps everybody votes. It is possibly that if there was a debate between Alex Jones and the Young Turks, on a Pay Per View YouTube Red Exclusive, then millions of people would watch and vote Alex the winner. The loser should be punished. Maybe you have to pay money. Maybe you get thrown off YouTube for a year. The two parties could agree to the terms like you do in a poker game. You agree to the rules and to what is on the line. You go live in person in a debate for as long as you want. You agree to the length of the debate.

@Will,

You said you don't want to give government that kind of power.

I agree.

However, government probably already has that kind of power ALREADY or too much power some might argue. Technically, that's true. We try to make government, taxes, regulations, red flag laws, bad laws, red tape, federal tyranny, IRS tyranny, Big Pharma tyranny, corporate tyranny, CPS tyranny, Federal Reserve tyranny, crony capitalism tyranny, etc, etc, and other things smaller and smaller and smaller.

Make government smaller.

Jefferson might have been trying to emphasize on how we should use the power of the government THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, and the power of voting, as long as we have it.

At the same time, we should always try to make government smaller.

But if government was maybe too small, then tech cartels has or would have the potential of becoming governments in and of themselves.

I prefer a republic over mob-ruling democracy.

Leftists, globalists, and others, have been infiltrating government in turning our republic into a democracy. So, it is good to always try to reverse that.

But regardless of the history of how we got to where we are, we are in the middle of so many big problems.

If Trump doesn't actively do things that is better than this, then Jefferson might be onto something. It really comes down to making the better choices from whatever opportunities are currently available, one step at a time. So, if Trump doesn't act soon enough, then we better start stepping up more in trying to put pressure on Trump.

So, I'm NOT specifically saying we should do exactly what Jefferson said.

But we Americans should be trying to throw ideas at Trump, representatives, etc. We should be debating these things in order to create some peer pressure in regards to these things.

Two Big Problems

1. Big Government
2. Big Tech

If we get rid of big government, that might create a power vacuum that tech cartels, China, globalists, Jihadism, etc, etc, could and do in fact take over and occupy as seen in the Middle East as they divide and conquer, as they destabilize. Alex Jones talks about that.

So, some might argue that we need big government in order to defeat big tech. I'm not too sure if that's true, but better safe than sorry would be a good philosophy to have. We should try to shrink the size of both.

Technically, Robert Barnes talked about removing liability protection from Google for violating the first amendment. That is one example of what government can do and should do. There are probably other things gov should do as well.

So, in other words, these other ideas are probably better than the idea presented by Jefferson today.

But that does not mean we can't talk about the good and bad ideas in solving all of these issues and more in order to make this issue go viral more and more.

And ultimately, you never know in life what is going to happen. So many moving parts. Therefore, we should be suggesting all of these ideas and more. Now, that's not the same as implementing these ideas. Rome wasn't built in a day. We have to generate pressure in order to push Trump towards action. Maybe, he can look at all of these ideas and consider them.

2020 is around the corner and every day counts. We don't have a lot of time left. We have to try to push and open as many doors of opportunities as possible before it is too late.

Israel Debate

02:03 AM - IWA

Did God give up on Israel?

10:42 AM - IWA

I didn't even know that word, gentiles, could even be misinterpreted like that. The definition of it being not the people of Israel is so simple. I love the book of Hosea. It's all about dispensations, periods found in time, certain patterns.

Well wrote: "Clearly, you don’t spend much time reading the Bible. It sounds more like you just follow guides to how to interpret the Bible." You like mocking methodology while ignoring the source of the truth.

Well does not know how to read. I wrote what he wrote. But Well then said that what I wrote is not the same as what he wrote concerning Gentiles being not the people of Israel. Well responded with what I said but in different words. He said that the Gentiles are the Non-Jewish Nations. I said Gentiles are not the people of Israel. We both said the same thing. But then Well said that what I said is not what he said. Technically, specifically, we used different words. So, there are differences, perhaps. But in a general perspective, it was or could be the same. If not the same, what's the difference? If not the same, why not?

Free Market Alex Jones

10:49 AM - IWA

But was it a vacation if Alex Jones was working on the road and was Alex paid extra money to go on vacations or is he still paid the same regardless of whether he goes on vacation or not? Who does Alex work for? Nobody except we the people. Alex works for himself. Alex is an employer. Are we against free markets? If Alex is wasting his money on too many vacations, then please stop giving him money. Support another group. Support other people. Start a thread about a better organization and encourage us support better people. If Alex sucks too much or too much, then please find better alternatives and save us. Please save us and tell us to check out other people.

Zach Google Debate

11:07 AM - IWA

Google Gaagle or Google Gaggle, with your host, Zach or Zack. Now, did somebody say they forgot why Zach was fired from Google? Remember what he said on Project Veritas. He came forward in a video from around June 30th, 2019. Google was able to determine that he leaked to Project Veritas. Google spies on people. So, they're able to figure things out. They sent police to him. They were trying to kill him. He talked about this with Alex Jones. So, if you're still wondering why Google fired him, you could start with watching the first exclusive interview that he had with Alex. He talks about it. Don't miss it. He is the real deal. He is trying to stop tyranny.

Fake Israel vs Real Israel

12:25 PM - IWA

When I start to think about North Israel (Samaria) and South Israel, I begin thinking about my life in Vietnam for five years, 2012-2017, teaching English, because I saw North Vietnam during my first two months. After that, I moved to South Vietnam. So, I've talked to people about the differences between the north and the south. Reminds me of North Korea and South Korea. It reminds me of China and Hong Kong. It reminds me of Canada and Quebec. Specifically, the differences between South Israel (the tribes of Judah) and North Israel (the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh or the lost tribes) seems to be interesting. The history of Israel might be a bit long for people who may not be familiar with it.

Simple

Some of it may be more familiar with the history if Israel. Now, sometimes, some people might oversimplify the history of Israel to new people. So, we probably talked about some of that in this thread already. So, some of us get it as we have been following the details for many years. For new people, they may not know that the modern nation of Israel may not necessarily be the real Israel. People talk about Israel gaining independence in 1948 for example. Yes, there may have been and there may be bad people behind what happened in 1948 for example. The details can be complex for those who have not been following it for a long time. Some people have said they worry that the globalists or whoever are trying to do everything they can to bring forth the anti-Christ. Why? Because of what you might see in the Bible. It talks about certain conditions that must be met before certain things can happen. So, there are differences, some might argue, between the real people of Israel and what we might allegedly call Zionists (Zionism). Sadly, people conflate the two by insulting all Jews. It might be argued that Zionists are NOT real Jews. Well, technically, biologically, genetically, you might be a Jew by race, by ethnicity, according to your blood, your DNA. However, your religion might not be Jewish or any variation therein, that is any branch of Judaism. In other words, there is the RACE and the RELIGION. Some people conflate the RACE with the RELIGION. So, like I said, it's complex and simple.

Confusing

It's like fake news. To some extent, most people on earth may not know enough about Israel, about some of these things that some of us may already know. We know the differences between a race of people and a religion by the same name. But for a lot of people, they put the two together in the same way they put the religion of Islam with the RACE of the Muslims. Technically, Muslim refers to the followers of Islam. It's not a race. But their understanding of Islam is based on their understanding of the fake news about the Jews and everything that we're talking about.

Heart of the World

Some of us should try to sometimes explain these differences about Israel to the common folks. But please be patient with people who don't get it yet. Generally, people don't even know that they don't know. So, ask them questions and be patient, one day at a time, one thing at a time. We can throw a million things at new people and we could short-circuit their robotic NPC brains haha lol, but seriously speaking, that might be too counterproductive to try too hard to get new people to see why and how knowing this stuff matters. It does matter. It's important. But they may not know that. We probably know it's important. But it's hard to explain it to new people.

Stereotypes

Alex Jones talks about it sometimes. Every once in a while, Alex tries to explain it to new people in like thirty seconds. Some Jewish people might be bad. But that does not mean God is bad. That does not mean all Jews are bad. Some Americans might murder people. That does not necessarily mean all Americans murder people at night like Dexter Morgan. Same thing might be said about Muslims apart from the religious-political system of Islam through Jihadism and Sharia Law and everything which takes advantage of all the babies Muslim have. But I digress. Long story short, a lot of people can be too confused about the race and the religion of Israel.

Hollywood

A lot of people can say they are "JEWISH," and that includes Hollywood actors, etc, etc. So, the world may not know that some of these people might be Jewish by blood and not by religion. Some of them, allegedly, might have followed some of the Jewish traditions, customs, holidays, etc. Even that might not make them totally Jewish, religiously or whatever. Long story short, still, all of this confuses the general public. I mean, it confuses them and yet most people don't even know what the oatmeal that is all about. They don't even know they're confused. And some of what we talk about here are things people may not know much about including the talk about Israelites and Christians as seen in this thread. God has His Nation, Israel. When I say Israel, I'm not necessarily talking about modern-day "ISRAEL." But we probably all know the differences. That does not mean real Israel never ever comes back. God keeps His promises. In some ways, we become part of God's family because salvation came first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles. So, we all can be saved by grace through faith. So, salvation is one thing. We were drafted into the family. At the same time, Israel is a personification of that larger church of saints (Christians) and God wants Jewish people to be Christians of course, that is followers of Christ. The Old Testaments points forward to Christ. The New Testament talks about Christ. It's about following Christ, having His mind, loving Him as He first loved us and so on. It's valuable to explain some of these things to people. The Bible says that the world has and does and will always hate Israel and Christians. There are promises made in the Bible. Don't go against real Israel. Now, what we have right now might be fake Israel. But just because we have a fake nation of Israel right now, that does not mean we should throw the Bible in the trash. It means we are still in the middle of the story and that it is all ongoing. We should promote Israel because we care about those people because they are people.

Value in Israel

I don't care if the 1948 modern nation of Israel is fake or not. It might be totally fake or too fake. Bad people like so-called Zionists and globalists and Satanists and others may have been behind 1948. But that does not mean that real Israel will never come back. It also does not mean we should persecute religious and/or racial Jews. Does it sound racist when I say racial Jews? Maybe. But, people are people. Common folk people are people. Good or bad, I care about people including Jewish people. I care about Jews and I care about Christians. And then there are bad people that try to take advantage of the Muslims and the Jews and certain minority groups and sometimes majority groups to divide and conquer in the name of global enslavement, etc.

But that does not mean that Jews are all bad.

That does not mean God gave up on them.

We all can be part of God's story.

If we want.

Well is probably on drugs. Well said what we said but then said we did not say what he said. That's ironic. Well does not read what I write. It's complex. I can write books about it. We all can. Maybe we have already. This thread could be turned into a book with at least 255 pages so far. It's simple and complex. Sometimes, I write so much. Good thing I save it. I copy and paste what I write to a notepad on my computer. I archive it on my Steemit blog. I link it to this thread. New people can read it and click on it and come here. That's good. @well_well_well sometimes says what we say. We will say something and Well will say, "NO!" And then he will say what we said but in different words. People do this sometimes. Now, it can be complex because sometimes we are talking about different things. For example, I can point at a BANANA and say that is a BANANA. Well can say that is an APPLE. Actually, Well is pointing at an APPLE. He is not pointing at the BANANA. We agree that the APPLE is the APPLE. But then we talk about other things. Then @well_well_well comes in to disagree. But we are not on the same page. I've written several comments about this already. Sometimes I write short comments and sometimes I write THE NEVER ENDING OATMEAL STORY haha. It's the LAMP CHOP PLAY ALONG song that never ends with me. It goes on and on my friend. People started singing it not knowing what to do. But again, I don't know what Well is trying to do. We agree. And yet it is like Well says we do not agree. Technically, we agree with him on that one thing and then we go on to talk about other things. It's like we are changing the subject, the topic, and yet he didn't get the memo. He still thinks we are over here. Elvis has left the building. We are not over there, @well_well_well, we are over here. Hey there Wells, we are over here. We agree that is an APPLE. Yes. We know. But come over here. See the BANANA? What, an APPLE? No, the APPLE is over there. This is a BANANA. We agree that APPLE over there is an APPLE. But let's come over here and talk about the BANANA.

I agree with you. That APPLE is an APPLE.

Yes. Christians are not Jews. Of course. Jews (APPLES) are Jews. Christians (BANANAS) are Christians. But can God NOT eat both apples and bananas for breakfast? Are they not both fruits?

Ethically, am I American or am I Dutch German and part English? I'm all those things, historically and by blood. People are generally pretty mixed. If your mom or dad was Jewish by blood, then you could say you are part Jewish. If your dad was allegedly a Gentile or whatever that means, and if your mom said she was Jewish by blood, then would you call yourself a Jew or a Gentile or both? I say, by blood, not by religion, you could label and stereotype yourself and brand yourself as a a Gentile Jew or Jewish Gentile by blood and not by religion of course. So much is in the DNA. All humans are related, most likely. That means it's in the blood. But some people may have more of it. Some people may have less of it.

Steemit Debate

01:05 PM - Steemit

I don't think that is true. I know it looked like the links are inactive. I think that was simply a glitch in the blockchain or in the Internet. It seems that traffic can be too heavy at times. Plus, if you change the title to your post, then that may break an old link. Well, that depends on whether the URL changes as you change and edit the title. I have clicked on things and it did not work. And then I waited and clicked on the same link on Steemit and it would work. I agree with you concerning downvoting.

Very Short

02:45 PM

S, sorry if the meeting was short. When I agreed to meet, I wasn't sure if Bible Study was going to be canceled or not that week. I told my friend, N, who you met, I was going to be at McDonald's. I'm glad he was able to meet you guys.

Never Ending Story

You know I could talk all day, but I didn't want to overwhelm him. He told me he was having a hard time following what you guys were talking about. I can follow but I understand how he feels. Then we left and he was helping me practice driving. I have a permit. Yeah, I never got around to driving. I told you that he was teaching me some karate.

Becoming a Man

I also need to learn how to shoot a gun, etc, etc. So, you know, long story short, I feel so busy. You told me I should think about visiting Houston. Did you say they have a Little Saigon there? So, pray for wisdom for me. I need to make big decisions in my life concerning where I live and what I do and everything. One of my weaknesses is in being so scattered and divided in trying to do everything like a jack of all trades and a master of one or none.

Disabled Philosopher

I think a lot. Sometimes, I write better than I talk. I got to practice talking more. And talking better. In the next few months, like Infowars, I seek after going to the next level. I will be considering relocating in 2020. I really want to finish up some projects here first before moving.

Gradual Oatmeal

On one hand, I just want to get to where I want to go in life in one second. I want to force it to happen. But shortcuts in life can violate gradual original oatmeal L4OJ character development, story archs, etc, etc, within my own story (OR MOVIE FILM) and also in the stories of other people as we all interact and cross paths with each other; as history and life is a big orchestra or it is like synchronized swimming. Ultimately, if we're aligned with God's Will, we get to be part of God's story, if we choose to be part of it or not to the extent of our obedience.

APPLES AND ORANGES

02:51 PM - IWA

Well is taking Scriptures out of context. @well_well_well quotes from the Bible. It talks about the APPLE. But then Well says BANANA BANANA. But the Bible was talking about APPLE APPLE. Which reminds me of one of my favorite games, APPLES TO APPLES. It's easy to conflate and combine. We talked about race. We talked about religion. Sometimes, the Bible is talking about religion and not about race. But @well_well_well is trying to mix the two while saying he is not mixing the two. These are apples and oranges or apples and bananas. Two different things. Again, how many times have I said this? They are, and I repeat, two different things.

@Bingozee, I can't copy and paste my own words because my own words are not really my own words and you know that how and if you copy and pasted my words into Google Search or Duck Duck Go and clicked enter to see them leading back to Steemit and other blog sites, would you still accuse me of stealing my own words from myself? Am I stealing from myself? Remember what King Solomon said, that there is nothing new under the sun and maybe that is what you're trying to say?

Why does Hebrews 11:31 mention Rahab?

Was Rahab a Jew or a Gentile or what?

Why was Rahab included in a list of like Jews or who are the people mentioned in Hebrews 11, are they Jews or Gentiles or what?

Are there Jews on that list, yes or no?

Is that the only place in the Bible where it talks about stuff like that?

Did @well_well_well say that Gentiles are not Jews, ethnically?

Is Gentile a RELIGION or a RACE?

@well_well_well beats children while screaming: "Stop asking me why this and why that. Stop it, kids. Get to the point. You CANNOT ask questions. Adults never ever ask questions. And when they do ask questions, they're actually ONLY MAKING POINTS because adults are closed minded, another brick on the Pink Floyd wall. What's your BLOODY OATMEAL point you damned to Hell midgets?"

So, Gentiles are NOT the Non-Jewish People?

So you do agree with us then?

So, you do agree with her?

I have not been writing?

Are you mocking me? Are you mocking me?

I don't have a clue about what?

I agree with @Whisperatnight. That is true, historically speaking.

@well_well_well, is this thread only a debate between you and me?

Religiously, Christians are Christians. Ethnically, some Christians are Gentiles by blood. Your race might be Gentile (GOY). The Bible talks about race and about religion. Two different things. Jesus was religiously a Christian. What is Christianity? It is Judaism. But some of the Jews rejected Christ and they say that they're not Christians. But they should be Messianic Jews. No, they should be Christians. Judaism evolved into Christianity. By design, God intended all of it to happen as it happened, some might argue, retroactively maybe from outside of time. But people lie and say that these are two different religions. They're not supposed to be. But if you rejected the Messiah, then this is what happens. This debate is really a collection of different debates at the same time. We're dealing with several issues simultaneously. For example, we can go through the history of the Jewish people. We can talk about when they were called the Hebrew people as @Whisperatnight mentioned. They became a nation. They were captured. Then there was Nehemiah. There was the wall. There were two nations. Back and forth, these things happened. At different times, they were called different things. Specifically, that's true. But if you wanted to be very general, you could use more general terms to refer a person's religion or race.

Biologically, are any Europeans descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, that is by blood, that is in the DNA, are we related, are they related, is it possible that some of those people moved to Europe and became our super mega great great great super mega great grandparents, assuming that some of us come from Europe and how many Europeans became Americans?

Jefferson YouTube Debate

Did you hear the arguments Alex Jones mentioned that counters that?

Pork Farm

05:40 PM - Pork tastes like shrimp, but I prefer chicken over them. Plumbing stuff can be expensive, like 5.2K USD. Smart meters spy and 5G nuke us. People have cooked beans and other foods many feet outside of the microwave in the ice and snow on mountains in different countries in the 1900's around the world many times. Microwaves cook our brains. Phones do too. Airplanes. Animals. Chipmunk. Wheelchair. Scotland. Sisters. Choices. Independence. Cabs. Rent. Owning stuff.

Funnel Extension

07:50 PM - Curators are like employees. Paying them more money has a potential of motivating expanded curation. Content Creators are like employers. The newest Hard Fork (HF21) is scheduled for 11:00 AM EDT, Tuesday, the 27th of August of 2019. I've included some of my thoughts in this post. I have mixed feelings. Potentially, theoretically, if curation rewards is increased up to 50%, that may motivate more people to upvote as they may in fact earn more money that way. That decentralizes curation in that it gets more voters involved. It creates a win-win situation, possibly. Content creators are centralized units. If you pay them less and pay the curators more, you create a funnel that acts like a black hole. The center of the hole is the content creator for example. Giving curators more money theoretically expands the reach of the black hole to pull in more money into the centralized center of the black hole, the employer so to speak. The secondary pool for downvoting (flags) is potentially dangerous and yet I hope it helps as well. Overall, HF21 will be seeking to improve the world. To some extent, HF21 will succeed in some things and fail or decline in other things. Regardless, we can then prepare for HF22.

I love chess.

Dream

Words Words Words

09:51 PM - Steemit

I like using small words sometimes. But I agree with the dangers of oversimplification, etc. Also, if we are too blind to know what is good and bad, then you're right, we should try our best not to declare what we think is right and wrong from a subjective perspective. I prefer freedom and letting people decide what they want to do with private property to the extent they don't interfere with my stuff or your stuff, etc.

Steem vs Dlive

09:56 PM - Steemit

Does Dlive have evergreen content (videos) that can earn past seven days which, like you said, Steem has that limit currently? I thought maybe Dlive, which left Steem, was talking about that. But regardless, perhaps we should launch a competing blockchain network that allows for evergreen content, that is content creators and content creators.

Purpose of Steemit

10:00 PM - Steemit

One of the purpose is to protect content from being banned from tech cartels. Money is secondary issue. I'm here to save my work because I've lost thousands of videos, pictures, etc, on YouTube, Facebook, 1, etc. I've lost dozens of accounts, etc, in the 2010's, in the USA, in Vietnam. Millions of people are running into these issues. As the dollar dies, Bitcoin, Steem, and other cryptocurrencies will continue to rise.

There is more to Amazon than what you are talking about. So, it looks like you have no idea what I'm talking about. You will probably ask me what I'm talking about or you will think I'm stupid and not respond. Sadly, if you're not talking about what Amazon has in common with other tech cartels, you are missing out. Oh, and by the way, it is very expensive to maintain the means of production. Maintenance and upgrades is so expensive. Plus. Employer to employee ratio, money wise, is a reverse funnel. It is like a sprinkler system. The money flows through the hose and out of the sprinkler. Yes, there is more money or more water in the hose. It spreads out onto the grass, the employees. A decrees of water in the hose does not mean an increase in the output of what comes out of the sprinkler and onto the grass.

ALF

10:15 PM - Steemit

Write about ALF. I was born in 1985 and ALF was on back then. Cool dog alien creature. Pretty funny. I love philosophy. Recently, I've been mostly writing about my life on Steemit. I love eating from gardens.

Amazon War

11:27 PM - Steemit

You probably love China and Soros and Rothschild and others. If you follow the money and follow history, you can see the people and the groups who were behind the rise of tech cartels. One of the problems is that of DARPA, NASA, FBI, NSA, CIA, etc. In many cases, they are behind big things. China is buying up shares in big companies. Liability protection is a problem. Geoengineering is a big problem. The list goes on and on and the history is very long as well.
