Unprovoked and unjustified?

The armed incursion is a consequence of the previous redlines being a
denial of any possible inclusion of Ukraine within NATO and Russian
desire for a geographic buffer zone against Europe by countries
sympathetic to a neutral action.

Then there must logically be a consideration of a “Ukraine capable of independence without damaging Russia.”

And we note that such a notion being it’s total refusal as denial of
reality by the Ukrainian president which then has brought the invasion consequence.

Such APRIORITY CAUSE then being the impetus for provocation and
justification.

If course rightists are traitors who blame Biden for Putin's unwarranted agression. One day we'll line them up against a ditch with their Russian commie handlers and shoot them.

The price to pay for rightist traitors is death.

"FOR OUR CONVERSATION-G4175 IS IN HEAVEN; FROM WHENCE ALSO WE LOOK FOR
THE SAVIOUR, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST:

You are right therefore to consider Hitler's praise in TABLE TALK IDEA @
275 OF 1 AUGUST 1942: "IT ADDS LITTLE TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE CREATOR
WHEN SOME PARSON PRESENTS TO US AN INDIFFERENT COPY OF A MAN AS HIS
CONCEPTION OF THE DEITY. IN THIS RESPECT, AT LEAST, THE MOHAMMEDAN IS
MORE ENLIGHTENED (NOTE: "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger"), WHEN HE SAYS: TO FORM A CONCEPTION OF ALLAH IS NOT
VOUCHSAFED TO MAN.

The most pressing danger, as I see it, is that Christianity, by adhering
to a conception of the Beyond which is constantly exposed to the attacks
of *UNCEASING* *PROGRESS* [by implication *SCIENCE*], and by binding it
so closely to many of the trivialities of life which may at any moment collapse, is *RIPENING* mankind for conversion to materialistic
Bolshevism. And that is a terrible tragedy.

Man will lose all sense of proportion, and once he considers himself to
be the lord of the universe, it will be the end of everything.

And if the Church in Spain continues in the way it is doing, it will end
on the refuse-heap.

The rapidity with which Mustapha Kemal Ataturk rid himself of his
PARSONS makes one of the most remarkable chapters in history. He
*HANGED* thirty-nine of them out of hand, the rest he flung out, and St.
Sophia in Constantinople is now a museum!

In Venice, in 1934, the Duce once said to me: 'One of these days the

JAMES LEE (EXPRESS.CO.UK) @ 1427 HOURS ON 13 FEBRUARY 2022: "VIOLENT MOB
STONE MENTALLY ILL MAN TO DEATH FOR 'BURNING THE KORAN' – BODY HUNG FROM
TREE

The mob allegedly seized the man from police, threw stones at him and
*HANGED* his body from a tree. The incident is said to have taken place
in the Khanewal district in the Punjab province of Pakistan.

A custodian of a local mosque said he saw Mushtaq Ahmed, 41, burning the
*HOLY* *BOOK* inside the mosque on Saturday evening on 12 FEBRUARY 2022
and informed the police.

"The ill-fated man has been mentally unstable for the last 15 years and according to his family often went missing from home for days begging
and eating whatever he could find," said Munawar Gujjar, the area police
chief.

Police stated as many as 300 people were involved in the incident, and
have so far arrested 36 men in relation to the heinous offence.

According to witnesses, officers from Tulamba police station were rushed
to the mosque and took custody of a man.

But the angry crowd snatched him away from them and beat the police as
they tried to rescue him.

Officers tried to remove his body from the scene, but the crowd began
throwing stones at the police, causing three of them to sustain injuries.

More officers arrived at the scene later to remove the body and keep the
crowds back.

Mian Mohammad Ramzan, the mosque custodian, said he saw smoke inside the
mosque and rushed to investigate.

He found one Koran burned and saw a man attempting to set a second alight.

He said people were arriving for evening prayers at the time while he
shouted at the man to stop." <https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1565298/Pakistan-news-violent-mob-stone-death-mental-health-burning-koran>

YE HAVE CONDEMNED AND KILLED THE JUST; AND HE DOTH NOT RESIST YOU.

BE PATIENT THEREFORE, BRETHREN, UNTO THE COMING OF THE LORD. BEHOLD, THE HUSBANDMAN WAITETH FOR THE PRECIOUS FRUIT (ie. its *RIPENING*) OF THE

So it is reasonable for you to conclude that the AL AQSA MOSQUE is the predominant symbol of apartheid since no Jew can lawfully pray there and
in their Jerusalem Temple.

Given the first word of the BOOK OF GENESIS being rêʼshîyth (H7225): beginning then accords with a sun / moon chronological grounding
perspective as the view that the 10 commandments are firstly temporal
grounding markers relative to infinity which has a factual parallelism
with the archaeological discovery of the Book of time divisions by
jubilees and weeks.

Thusly the forty year EXODUS sojourn which occurred within the 49th
jubilee having a correspondence to the giving of the 10 COMMANDMENTS is
in and of itself 49 x #2184 (6D = #24 x #7 x #13 - PRIESTLY SERVICE
DIVISIONS) = 6J a validation of the Jewish claim to ownership of the
Jerusalem Temple:

EXODUS 49J1W2D (49th jubilee + 7 years) + 40 YEARS SOJOURN:

49 x #2184 (6D = #24 x #7 x #13 - PRIESTLY SERVICE DIVISIONS) = 6J as
294 x 364 days = 107016 days / 293 = 365.242320819112628 TROPICAL YEAR

IPSO FACTO: "THEN THE KING SAID TO THE WISE MEN, WHICH KNEW THE TIMES
(ie. 12 x 6J = 72J), FOR SO WAS THE KING'S MANNER TOWARD ALL THAT KNEW
LAW AND JUDGMENT..." [Esther 1:13]

There can be no argument (ie. 49J1W2D (49th jubilee + 7 years) + 40
years = 47 years as 2 years from the next Jubilee being within the
Promised Land) about such being the underlying scientific premise of the
BIBLE: "49J1W2D - 4. Wherefore I [did] ordain for thee the year-weeks
and the years and the jubilees: there are forty-nine jubilees from the
days of Adam until this day, and one week and two years and there are
yet forty years to come (literally “distant”) for learning the
commandments of the lord, until they pass over into the LAND OF CANAAN, crossing the Jordan to the west.

5. And the jubilees will pass by, until Israel is cleansed from all
guilt of fornication, and uncleanness, and pollution, and sin, and
error, and dwelleth with confidence in all the land, and there will be
no more a #351 - *SATAN* / *BELIAL* or any evil one, and the land will
be clean from that time for evermore.

6. And behold the commandment regarding the Sabbaths--I have written
(them) down for thee and all the JUDGMENTS OF ITS LAWS." [Book of
Jubilees 50:4-6]

In being mindful that I am talking to a Jewish community who know their
history (492 BCE–c. 460 BCE) better than myself, so I make the IPSO
FACTO observation relative to the value 6J as possessing a reasonable
temporal reference continuity as conclusion 12 x 6J = 72J expressed
within the later Biblical narrative as historical reference.

The testimony as faith of Jesus similarly relates to this same 364 days
x 6 = #2184 days sun / moon chronology having a continuity grounding as
given by the seventy weeks / ten jubilees messianic prophecy of [Daniel 9:24-26] where the intrinsic CHRISTIAN VALUE equates "AND AFTER
THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS SHALL MESSIAH BE CUT OFF" with the crucifixion
of FRIDAY 3 APRIL 33 AD and to the SIXTH COMMANDMENT: THOU SHALT NOT
BEAR FALSE WITNESS:

"HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS: HERE ARE THEY THAT KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND THE FAITH OF JESUS (ie. the alpha and omega)." [Revelation 14:12]

So the conclusion is that if one is using time divisions by jubilees and
weeks then the basic chronological concept of 6D = 6 x #364 as #2184
days applies as relevant to #24 x #7 x #13 - PRIESTLY SERVICE DIVISIONS
which are applicable to the Jerusalem Temple.

IMMANUEL KANT'S PROLEGOMENA (1783) as IDEA @275: "In the Critique of
Pure Reason I worked on this question synthetically, namely by inquiring
within pure reason itself, and seeking to determine within this source
both the elements and the laws of its pure use, according to principles.
This work is difficult and requires a resolute reader to think himself
little by little into a system that takes no foundation as given except
reason itself, and that therefore tries to develop cognition out of its original seeds without relying on any fact whatever. Prolegomena should
by contrast be preparatory exercises; they ought more to indicate what
needs to be done in order to bring a *SCIENCE* into existence if
possible, than to present the *SCIENCE* itself. They must therefore
rely on something [IDEA @275] already known to be dependable, from which
we can go forward with confidence and ascend to the sources, which are
not yet known, and whose discovery not only will explain what is known
already, but will also exhibit an area with many cognitions that all
arise from these same sources. The methodological procedure of
prolegomena, and especially of those that are to prepare for a future metaphysics, will therefore be analytic.

Fortunately, it happens that, even though we cannot assume that
metaphysics as *SCIENCE* is actual, we can confidently say that some
pure synthetic cognition a priori is actual and given, namely, pure
mathematics and pure natural *SCIENCE*; for both contain propositions
that are fully acknowledged, some as apodictically certain through bare
reason, some from universal agreement with experience (though these are
still recognized as independent of experience). We have therefore some
at least uncontested synthetic cognition a priori, and we do not need to
ask whether it is possible (for it is actual), but only: how it is
possible, in order to be able to derive, from the principle of the
possibility of the given cognition, the possibility of all other
synthetic cognition a priori." [pages 25-26]

Thus you can see the inherent antagonism but that doesn’t explain your
neo Nazism.

the howling dervish of the Turks and the negroes, at whom we laugh so scornfully. It angers one to think that, while in other parts of the

offers an undeniably broad basis for the religious-minded, Germans
should have been duped by a theological exposition devoid of all honest
depth." [pages 513-514]
