Week Ending 7/17/22

 


Welcome back to TWATs!! I had to take a few weeks of me time due to the heat making a living hell of my life. While not excessively hot (it stayed below 90), it was uncomfortable. I just don't handle the heat like I use to.

With that said,,,

So for some odd reason AiG and the Ark Encounter has been front and center in my thoughts of late. This doesn't help!!

As Hemant notes, this was a paid advertisement! https://twitter.com/hemantmehta/status/1546237272399437826

What I don't get concerning the Christian taliban - why do they lie. https://onlysky.media/hemant-mehta/christian-prophet-the-constitution-requires-biden-to-have-20-popularity/

What I’m saying right now is not a prophecy. These are constitutional facts. When a sitting president population—popularity—drops under 20%, the Congress and military can step in and make decisions. That’s all I’m gonna tell you.”

No sir, they are NOT facts!! Again as Hemant notes, there are only two ways to legally remove Biden from power - Impeachment and invoking the 25th Amendment.

What's scary, lies such as what you are spouting Mr. Johnson, came easy to one David Barton. For example, this recent foray into pseudo-history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNAK3c1kiEo

Notice the “out” he gives himself, “I literally can show you a Bible verse in the Bible and show you language in the Constitution and you'll go, 'That is the same language.'”

 

I find it hysterical that it took “god” 40+ years to destroy the Georgia Guidestones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CskAip7suLs

The apologetic is mind-blowing, "I don't believe the videos they put out, there's no time stamp on them..." Less than ten seconds later, they show the video, with the time stamp visible. 

What's worse, Kandiss Taylor celebrated the act of vandalism: https://twitter.com/KandissTaylor/status/1544691940083507204

And then there is Stew Peters take on the matter, lightening from god. Which one he doesn't say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLhhpuF03to

Stew also seem to forget there is also a video of the car that was used to plant the "lightning." (Borrowed from a comment)

In the end Hemant sums up well the entire debacle. https://onlysky.media/hemant-mehta/vandals-finally-destroyed-the-satanic-georgia-guidestones/

Either way, if this is a victory, then who won? Who knows. If a Satanic monument was destroyed, it’s not like our lives are any better today. If it was just an expensive toy for a long-dead eugenicist, we still haven’t lost anything of value. But as with so many mindless things that eventually become traditions, we have lost something that was special to a lot of people. They put their own interpretations on the slabs of rock and a little piece of joy was taken from them. The city of Elberton has lost its most prized attraction. Ultimately, the monument was blown up by people whose motives remain unknown but who may have believed the lies they were fed by right-wing conspiracy theorists.

As local historian Raymond Wiley told Religion News Service, the Guidestones were meant to survive the apocalypse, but “they could not survive Southern culture.” A frivolous-yet-fun monument was likely shattered due to Christian superstition and a mindset that says anything some deem “un-Christian” must be destroyed at all costs.

Overall the Guidestones may or may not have been of any value. For me personally, they where a curiosity with a questionable origin. The possible association with eugenics is troubling but warrants a definitive rebuke; especially with regard to our history.

For thirty or so years the GG didn't garner much attention except for the occasional freak show. It wasn't until the last 10 years the nationalist type paid them any attention. Going back to my original question, why did it take god 40 years to destroy such a satanic icon?
