Bret and Heather of Dark Horse Podcast, or at least Bret, apparently considers it a possibility that Charlie Kirk might have been he victim of a conspiracy rather than just a lone gunman, and they discuss the reasioning for this and similar ideas on their most recent show. They want to lay out rules for thinking about such things and not so much the arguments for any particular point of view so I end up wondering what their arguments are for a conspiracy. Clearly it's not an impossisbility but pretty unlikely so I'd need to hear their evidence. To mmy mind there were so many of Charlie's friends standing with him i their tent area and saw what happened from behind at least, and rasied no doubts themselves aobut it that I don't see anything in the shot itelsef that could have been evidnece against a lone gunman. I certainly don't see any reason to doubt ay of his friends as I heard a lot of discussion from all of them over the next couple of weeks and their sincerity is just not questionable to my mind. Again, not impossible I suppose but DSO unlikely. The level of cleverness needed to pull of any treachery from within that group is just behond ordinary talents among other things.
then ther is this weird idea they don't themeslves hold but is an idea some apparently do hold, that Valley college where the assassination occurred is laid out like a pentagram which is an occultic or stataic symbol and that points to something of a conspiracy too although I don't think he said anything to explain how. So they were disucssiong how you might follow rules for thinking about such things to keep you from gross errors and keep the doror open on ideas that may seem reote to you but end up being the truth. OK, although I found most of the discussion pretty boring, sorry to say. If such rules could be established I certainly wouldn't want to start my thinking with a review of them, I'd want to think it through and then mayb review my thought porrocess against them to see if I wentoff track. I guess I could see that as a practical use for it bu still I don't tlike the idea of laing out a list of rules like that. GFor one thing how do ou know you've arrived at the right collection of rules anyway? Oh well.
But I wans thinking abou tthis pentagram idea. Apparently the geographic layout of the land isn't a really great pentagram shape but some take it that way anywya. But what I would ask which isn't what Bret was asking, is whetyher Vallye College is known for its satanic or demonic incidents or at least for people thinking there are many incidents that should be thought of that way? If the murder of Charlie Kirk is the only one where that symbolic shape is applied, forget it, if the pentagram means anythihjg it means it for all the time the college has occupied land of that shape. It would have to have a reputation for such things for it to have any bearing on the Charlie Kirk murder. That should be on his list of rules somewhow.

Changing the subject, I think I might add a few things to the post where I said I was only going to say what I said and nothing more about he Mark Levin accusations of Tucker Carlson. Levin is the one who quoted Thomas Sowell fomr a decade or so aboutago about the importance of the US taking out Iran's nuclear capacity, and then I happened to hear Douglas Murray on Uncommon Knoweldge recently saying the same thing and thow e two are completely trustworthy observers to my mind so I was hapy to make them enough of a reason to oppose Carlson's suspicious that Israel had somehow forced Trump into the attack on Iran. I'd thought that was clearly false anyway but Sowell and Murray made good corroboration for mte. Now I'll add that Levin played clips of cofour Democrats who are now saying the same thing Carlson said, or at least saying that the action against Iran is just wrong, who over the last four years all said separately that we need to take down Iran's nuclear capacity. Funny how the Democrates change their minds jus because they don't like GTrump. They agreed with him about all kinds of things over the years that now all of a sucdden they condemn him for. Anyway, that adds four names to my two who strongly called for a US President to remove the threat of Iran's nuclear capacbility. Six is better than two althoughj my original two were strong enough to bmmy mind.

The Pope once dominated kings and already is acting like he has a right to criticize our President concerning illegal immigration and the Iran war. He doesn't have the power at the moment to do a lot about it but he does happen to be a world class voice even now and if prophecy is right as I read it he is going to be once again the rule oer of knings and all world leaders for a seve year period before Jesus retursn, and yes, that has felt very close for a long time abut all that means is that it is closer yet. Could happen anyway that the clock will start tivcking onthe last seven years before the world ends, he world as we know it. The trigger will be the Antichrist's making of a covenant, or "confirming" of a covenant with Israel, which he will breatk half way through those seven years, which is where those crucial numbers come from, twelve hundreed and sixty days, forty two months, time , times and half a time. Those last three and ahlaf years are knownas the Great Tribulation and no, youj don't want to be here for that. Well, it might be better than Hell, so rethinkik all that first.

Prophet Joel confirms for me that it is the Seventh Seal of the Book of Revelation that is the beginning of the tribultion perio d of sevewn years, otherwise known as the Seventieth Week of Daniel, Week meaning year in this conctencxt. That seventieth week was never fulfilled though all sixty nineof the weeks prophesided in Daniel were fulfilled right to the entering of Jerusalem by Jesus on the donkey. After that the seventieth just hasn't occurrted. YOu olook throughout history of it iand it isen't there. Therefore it has to beyet future and most Protestants findit in the book of revelation. I differ from tjhe usual idea about it in that I don't think the first five seals are to be included in that period of time, and I think the sixth seal is an announcewment of what is coming, and then the last seven years begins with the opening of the seventh seal, which has all the language of wrath that is lacking oin the first seals. That's my own reading and I have no idea how many others might be with me or against me in this. But the Protphet Joel describes the day of the lord as a horrific time of csuffering including for the cattle who find their grass all burned up. The burning up of the grass is the first trumpet to sound in the seventh seal.

As a believer in God, the biblical God and Christ, I now have a hard time sympathizing with those who don't believe, it is all so obvious to me. Of course I too was once in that same posistion. I couldn't believe. And sometimes I wanted to believe, I just had no idea how to go about it. It nenver occurred to me just to read the Bible, stupid. Or rad some Christian books, stupid. I heard nothing but the weird liberalish reinterpretations of Chrsitainity that were once popular in college town people of the sort I hung out with. The kind of people who went to the Unitarian Church which isno church at all but a sort of philosophical political and of course liberal indoctrination milieu. Read real Chistian books. Tozer is one although he's really for believers, not sure what an unbeliever could do with him. Come to think of it any book I could reccomment would be for believers, for the born again, and since you need to be born again to understand the thigs of God maybe it is all useless for anyone else. Ryle is another one, Edwards, Spurgeon, even a couple of mthe muystics although I hesitate with them and mention them only bevcause tozer also like s them. Molinos and Julian of Norwish are maybe trustworthy enough, maye even Madame Guyon. But when they get into Mary bewyond a mere metion that's where I stop, and none of them give a really clear statemewnt of the salvation message. Oh Tersteegen, he's anothernhr I think really can be recommended. I can't find his books in audible form unfortuantely for me.
About he Antichrist, reald Dave Hunt's A WQoman Rides the Beast. Also H Grattan Guinness Romanism and the Reofrmation. Guineness regfjects all furturism so I'm against him on that, but Hunt retjects the idea of the Pope as ntichirst so I'm against him on that. But either one gives a solid picture of how the Roman Church is not Christianity. And the Papa

And yes the US is unders God's judgmetn and I still don't see anything eer liikely to be done about it and that means we're going down eventually, mabye about the time of the beginning of the Great Tirbulation.cy.
