Just finished up the interview… and I have to say that Putin is one hell of a calculated, sharp, and intelligent man. All of his points and objections to the West encroaching on the Russian border, meddling in foreign elections like Ukraine, and ultimately pushing Russia to take military action made complete sense to me, and had me wondering what the real motive for the war in Ukraine is… Defeat Russia’s war machine - or use it as an excuse to fuel our own because it’s real good for payoffs on the backend that nobody can see? After that interview, idk. But my gut tells me Putin is definitely not the evil madman they have made him out to be. Side note: When he asked Putin who blew up the pipeline, and Putin pointed right back at Tucker, that shit got me laughing for some reason. So brutally honest 😂

I was just gonna link the YT video, did not think they would post it there. Lol. The Russia history was kinda boring for me in the beginning, but I can see why Putin would want to give such a detailed history of the region... which is context. What I'm getting from this is Putin definitely felt pushed to the limit by the West and in many ways, he definitely was / has been. I also had no idea he tried to setup a connected nuclear missile system with the US under Bush Senior that we ended up rejecting. That's nuts.

Here's the link to full interview: https://x.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1755734526678925682?s=20

I don't understand why anyone would be against a 2hr interview with Putin that isn't controlled or censored if it weren't for a fear of losing the narrative that he is an evil madman. If Putin really is what they make him out to be, then that should be obvious in an interview. Truth is Truth. That should be your bias in all circumstances, even an interview with Putin.

@Yimpa Looks like a massive project from what I can tell on the website. Pretty cool and definitely interesting.

I have no idea who makes these or if they have been shared here before, but I stumbled upon one of their videos last night and absolutely loved playing it while I fell asleep. Thought I would share it here as I'm sure some of you would appreciate it: http://www.youtube.com/@SamaneriJayasara Here is the video I was listening to before bed, super profound:

Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you all for being such great mirrors. ❄️🪞 “We are all meant to be mothers of God. What good is it to me if this eternal birth of the divine Son takes place unceasingly, but does not take place within myself? And, what good is it to me if Mary is full of grace if I am not also full of grace? What good is it to me for the Creator to give birth to his Son if I do not also give birth to him in my time and my culture? This, then, is the fullness of time: When the Son of Man is begotten in us.” ~ Meister Eckhart

I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned Indigo Traveller: These are the rawest, no-bs mini documentaries I've ever watched. Some of the things I've watched in his videos have completely shattered my western paradigm and idea of cushy life. Reminds me of how blessed I am. I'm sure this would be a great source for those of you participating in the challenge. Hell, I'll even join in on the challenge as well. I love learning about this stuff.

@Husseinisdoingfine probably because the Sufi mystics were relatively advanced in their awakening. Almost all of Rumi and Kabir is about God Realization and Infinite Love. Mesiter Eckhart is the same, just from a different culture/time. Their Poetry is Incredibly profound.

Incredible speech. Wow. I am in complete awe of this man's cognitive development, ability to see both sides and go meta, and ultimately the vision of a new future he can so incredibly articulate and which we all intuitively feel needs to happen: I can't imagine resonating this deeply with any other candidate and their message.

Yeah, you're probably right. I hope not though.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I agree. But I don't think he is just all talk and posturing. I think he is down to get dirty and pragmatic, just in a new spirit/way. Aside from George Washington (just found out he was an independent, pretty cool), He is probably going to get close to if not the most independent votes in history, and that is pretty crazy to think about - regardless of who gets spoiled... and someone (or both?) definitely will. Yeah, it kind of makes me wonder - maybe the American people are at that point where "there is no other option" and RFK is the obvious choice for a majority of the people. I think everyone knows how its gonna go if we elect Biden or Trump again: another 4-year sh*t show. We are trying here, lol. Maybe one day I will run. My first signed bill will be to mandate psychedelic lockdowns at the beginning of each year, where you must take your "vaccine" (mushrooms) and realize your unity with life before you can go to the grocery store.

I mean he says a lot of things I intuitively think: Why the tribal warfare? Why the allowing of corrupt corporations into our government? Why the pesticides and chemicals in our food? Why the censorship? Why the fueling of a foreign war? But all that opinion/preference aside, it really is a general vibe - you can feel / see / hear the spirit of his message and philosophy. It is advanced in a spiritual sense and way beyond any other candidate. The fact that he is even able to go meta and look at "the entire field" in an unbiased way and say things like "we need to get out of this tribal warfare" is a huge clue to how conscious he really is. It's f*cking awesome. Just imagine if we had a leader like that.

Ok, so Trump is at fault for the economy. That's fine, a bit simplistic like my take, but fine. Still doesn't explain the ungodly amounts of money we are printing in an already unstable economy for a foreign war that can't be won with anything other than diplomacy (not lethal weapons). And I'm not saying to not help like everyone else is - of course we can help - but helping is a very different thing than America itself single-handedly supporting, perpetuating, and fueling the war. I don't like Trump either, but I'm wise enough to see that he is just an egotistical businessman that loves his country, not an authoritarian dictator that is pure evil (again - what a convenient description the ego can use to justify all sorts of its own evils). I rest my case with Putin:

This is a f*cking fantastic take on the current state of the country / Bidens Admin. What Jordan says at the 8:36 mark to end is perfect for some of you to hear that so blindly and adamantly defend the radical left and this horrible administration we have: Maybe we need to ask ourselves why the Bidens are so sheltered from any criticism, investigation, and legitimate scrutiny - while Trump is indicted and persecuted at almost every turn, (which, may I add, only makes him go up in the polls, lol) and for what? "To keep our democracy safe from the existential threat that Donald Trump is!" Yeah, I don't buy that BS. That's such a childish reframe to justify hatred and desire for control. You don't just get to oust someone because they piss you off. That's not how it works in our country. And Trump is definitely not perfect, but he can give a speech without fumbling words, remember where he is walking, and he sure as hell didn't fuel a foreign war and absolutely destroy our economy like the people in power are doing as we speak.

Yeah, maybe. I still think this administration is a joke nonetheless. We do not need to be printing billions upon billions of dollars to kill more people and fuel a foreign war that Ukraine will never win anyway. Especially when we have our own problems here. I think only giving $700 to the families in Lahaina was one of the biggest tells for me on how careless and detached this admin is from its own people. Not to mention the border situation.

Yeah, I tend to agree in spirit. But sometimes you have to go right at a problem and not avoid it. You have to go through it to really heal it. Kind of like a hard conversation with your spouse: you can't just avoid it and makeup. That's putting the cart before the horse. You have to go right at it, head on, figure it out, get messy, and then you can heal it. That's why I like Jordan, he doesn't beat around the bush. And right now is not a time to beat around the bush imo.

I don't even think Joe Biden knows what he is anymore, lol! In all seriousness though, I guess that would make sense. But isn't it the mark of a totalitarian state to weaken and diminish the quality of life for their average citizens? Like a sort of Stalin famine thing or what they do in North Korea? If Trump was the dangerous authoritarian, why was life so much easier to manage on a financial front when he was in office? My truck didn't cost $100 to fill up with normal gas, and groceries definitely didn't cost the insane amounts they do now... We also weren't in some pointless foreign war printing billions of dollars out of thin air that only benefits God knows who. So yeah, it makes sense in theory but in practice I see the opposite: a completely incompetent administration that is knowingly destroying and weakening the foundational middle class that is basically the heart and engine of this country. I know there are a lot of moving parts, and the economy doesn't stay the same ever, but to say that daily life in America was better under trump is an correct statement Imo. I think anyone who is just barely scraping by to pay the bills right now would agree. I also think that's why so many people like him. There is sort of an intuition that "until we take care of ourselves and make our lives great, we can't do that for you." Which the current admin has backwards: Give only $700 to the families in Lahaina that suffered an incredible catastrophe but give billions to fuel a foreign war in Ukraine.

Yeah this is the natural evolution man. You got what every guy fantasizes about: getting it on with a 10, and you realized it doesn't quite do it for you, so you've raised your standards for what it means to date. This is extremely attractive - especially if you come into contact with a 10 and don't chase like every other guy would, or better yet - you turn down a 10 because you know its a dead end. There is nothing more attractive than that. That's when you're at your peak "value." Because you've set the precedent that just because they look good, doesn't mean you will pick them. They have to actually prove themselves and their worth to you now. Choice is power. And women love a powerful man. Especially if their beauty doesn't blind you and turn you into a drooling dog like it does for the other 99% of the dating pool.

You've been taught to paint anyone who doesn't agree with the narrative as a conspiracy theorist, that's why you can't discern a legitimate counter-perspective from a wacky one. But if that's what I am to you, then so be it. The Truth is more valuable to me than your approval. Honestly, this has been a massive waste of time for all of us, so I'm peacing out. Best of luck to you on your journey.

No, but they did lose their jobs and were publicly shamed and gaslit for not doing so. @Yimpa so don't gaslight me like our government did, especially now that WE KNOW people like Fauci literally lied straight to our faces about its effectiveness and ability to stop the spread, mandated people to take it or else they would lose their jobs and entire livelihood, and publicly persecuted anyone who didn't. Have you ever heard how a frog will let itself be boiled alive if he's put into lukewarm water, before it's boiled? Well, I'd rather be cautious and jump out when I feel it getting hot than be the frog that says "ahhh, you're overexaggerating! It's just a little heat." - You don't get a special cookie for being a fool. Even if it's in the name of something heroic like "keeping others safe." Well, maybe you do, because that's the exact tactic you would use to get someone like a naive child to do what you want. You tell them they are a hero for doing so, and then give them a cookie when they do it.

via RFK on Instagram a few minutes ago: "I’m very grateful that alert and fast-acting protectors from Gavin de Becker and Associates (GDBA) spotted and detained an armed man who attempted to approach me at my Hispanic Heritage speech at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles tonight. The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID. He identified himself as a member of my security detail. Armed GDBA team members moved quickly to isolate and detain the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest. I’m also grateful to LAPD for its rapid response. I’m still entertaining a hope that President Biden will allow me Secret Service protection. I am the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection." Now who the hell would want to go out of their way to fake being a US Marshal to kill RFK? and why...? hmmm ? Original post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CxPSTjUu58S/

Yeah pretty wild. It was actually his private security that stopped the man, because he doesn't have federal protection from Secret Service. Biden's administration denied him SS protection earlier this year, which is a huge red flag if you ask me... But I agree, cops definitely don't get the credit they deserve.

I know its f*cking nuts! I've always read about stuff like this but something about that happening only a few hours ago just hits different. I guess we will see what happens...

Yeah I didn't save my test kit from 2 years ago like some kook, so you'll have to take my word for it. And why do you want proof so bad anyways? Does it challenge your paradigm of how things are? Are you in disbelief that someone could say no to the vaccine, contract covid, and kick it in a few days with nothing but healthy habits? Because it seems that way. And I've never said I'm anti-vax. You are tossing that around as a talking point. I've never said "vaccines don't work". Which is why, yes, I do agree with you on the effectiveness of them in the past, like with Polio. I know they can work. That's not really my point. My problem is with the manipulation, lies, and overall insanity of thought that has led us to think its okay to persecute people who would rather not take a vaccine. That doesn't make me anti-vax. It makes me anti-Totalitarianism.
