My friend Rick sends this link to a site that deals with UFOs and biblical prophecy. The section on the Mark of the Beast reminded me of Acts of the Apostles (the one I wrote, that is, not the earlier version by Luke. . .). Some good, wacky, scary stuff.

As expected, many participants reported stress, anxiety, and depression. But the study also looked into *what* exactly made participants feel distressed. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0163834320300839
What a great country to have created 80 million rich people https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1332836970930827265
Today’s Dems are the party of the rich.
GOP is and should be the party of the working class. https://twitter.com/benwinegard/status/1331252039234576392A recount seems highly unlikely. Some kind of investigation seems entirely appropriate. Can't imagine it happening, alas.
@kentuckywoman_2 @harrisonjaime people are wondering if there could be a recount or how we could force an investigation of Graham’s highly unusual win margin. Something about him intervening in GA’s election makes me think it’s not his first time at the election interference rodeo, you know?
Friendly reminder that trading US classified intelligence for money—or something else of material value, like, say, asylum in a foreign dictatorship—is a capital crime, punishable by [checks notes] death by firing squad? When did they change THAT? https://twitter.com/JenniferJJacobs/status/1333140861983584264
NEW: Jared Kushner and a small crew of White House advisers are heading this week to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, I'm told.
Check out a good portion of rense.com, and start scanning your shortwave receivers for GCN Radio Networks. GCN carries this kind of stuff (and a lot of Uber Patriot, Militia style gonzo right wing religious nonsense) daily.
I’m working up an article for HuSi on the whole phenomenon. I’ll drop a line if / when it’s complete.
By the way, like the site very much.
In their How to Debunk Just About Anything page (http://www.bibleufo.com/deb… copied from a book called The McDanel Report), this is my favorite quote:
“Equate the necessary skeptical component of science with “all” of science. Emphasize the narrow, stringent, rigorous and critical elements of science to the exclusion of intuition, inspiration, exploration and integration. If anyone objects, accuse them of viewing science in exclusively fuzzy, subjective, or metaphysical terms.”
If one doesn’t have rigor and skepticism along with intuition and exploration, and if one doesn’t use the critical faculty all the time — particularly in the middle of an inspiration — one is not a scientist. Period.
On the other hand, it’s hard to argue with this: “ At the center, rapidly and successfully gaining control of it all, is corporate greed, dedicated to the obsessive, unbridled, and ethically absent pursuit of wealth.”
Wacky site, John.
I guess you guys know that many of us Christian fundie types think this guy’s logic is inverted. It is the bad angels in the UFOs.
Trust me.
Thanks for the link,
wetmachine gets better all the time.
