The explosion in Nashville was used to destroy voting machines to cover up voters fraud and prevent people from gathering on Jan 6.

There was a report by Sidney Powell that CNN center has the voting machines from the battleground states and Trump was in the process of seizing them for investigation. AT&T owns CNN and the their branch that was bombed in Nashville was suspected to be storing the voting machines.

There were gunshots when the RV first arrived, followed by warnings and the explosion.

Probably one of you magalots who can't bear trump lost so blew himself up.

HellVictorinho:
If all voters have trust,why do some have to be paid?
If people are compelled to vote,how does the voting signify freedom?
I think people should be convinced to vote for competent candidates.
I don't think they should be compelled to do it by campaigning with food items or 200-500-1000naira.
They know many are wretched so they use those things to make such people vote.

"Compelled to vote with food items or 200-500-1000naira"? So, if you "collect food items or 200-500-1000naira" for your vote, you would say you were compelled like someone put their knee on your throat and made you "collect food items or 200-500-1000naira for your vote? Is it not more true that you sold your vote for a pittance?

They don't just "know many are wretched". They make many wretched so you would be compelled by as little as ₦1000, which is why smart people go out and compel people to vote for them with something better, like a road or a library or less taxation or clean a swamp or protection or even $1000. That, after all, is the essence of voting, to elect people you trust and that mirror your values

Forgive me, but I truly can't understand your attitude to the right to vote that we fought for with blood but I guess you are free to sell your vote for "food items or 200-500-1000naira". Its probably illegal but who cares really, it's your vote. But when you now get say, bubu, and resort to moaning that he is not feeding lazy fuqs, I hope it is remembered one did oneself when one collected "food items or 200-500-1000naira" for one's vote.

HellVictorinho:
But why should I vote in the absence of trust?

Because your voting is what puts trust in it. If you do not vote, trust will be absent and no trust, as in nothing, will exist.

The essence of something, your voting which is trust, is determined by the use/application you make if it. If you make no use of it.........

HellVictorinho:
Ultimately, the onus is on the political parties to come up with strategies that will encourage more people to vote with less doubts.

Actually, the onus is on the voting people.

The political parties love when you think its on them because your abrogation of responsibility and lazy indulgence makes you so much more manipulable to their advantage. Its like slaves relying on the benevolence of their master to remove the chains from their necks. He might, one day, but he sooner will if you fight for your freedom, which is what your voting signifies.

Just one you encouraging more people to vote will loosen chains.

I can't see what

DEVELOPMENT OF RELIGION AND THOUGHT IN ANCIENT EGYPT

BY JAMES HENRY BREASTED

https://www.globalgreyebooks.com/development-of-religion-and-thought-in-ancient-egypt-ebook.html

The American archaeologist James H. Breasted (1865-1935) is best remembered for his 1906 four-volume Records of Egypt, which contains fresh readings and translations of almost all of the ancient Egyptian historical inscriptions available at the time, and remains an important resource. In this 1912 work, originally delivered as lectures, Breasted discusses the significance of the 'Pyramid Texts', preserved on fifth- and sixth-dynasty pyramids at Saqqara, and recently published in full, to the understanding of ancient Egyptian religious thought. He argues that mortuary practice as revealed by archaeology gives indications of the beliefs of a pre-literate society, but that by the time of the earliest inscriptions the Egyptian belief system was well established. He is particularly interested in the development of a moral sense in the context of the traditional pantheon with its multiple aspects of human/animal divinities, and in the influence of the developing Egyptian empire on its religion.


•••••••••
In this book, Breasted details the evolution of religious belief through thousands of years of Egyptian history. He describes (and quotes extensively from) the great funerary texts, most importantly the Pyramid texts, as well as the Coffin texts and the Book of the Dead. He covers the history of Egyptian religion from the earliest Osiran beliefs up to the groundbreaking monotheism of Akhenaton. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Ancient Egyptian religion.

•••••••
Contrary to the popular and current impression, the most important body of sacred literature in Egypt is not the Book of the Dead, but a much older literature which we now call the "Pyramid Texts." These texts, preserved in the Fifth and Sixth Dynasty Pyramids at Sakkara, form the oldest body of literature surviving from the ancient world and disclose to us the earliest chapter in the intellectual history of man as preserved to modern times. They are to the study of Egyptian language and civilization what the Vedas have been in the study of early East Indian and Aryan culture. Discovered in 1880-81, they were published by Maspero in a pioneer edition which will always remain a great achievement and a landmark in the history of Egyptology. The fact that progress has been made in the publication of such epigraphic work is no reflection upon the devoted labors of the distinguished first editor of the Pyramid Texts. The appearance last year of the exhaustive standard edition of the hieroglyphic text at the hands of Sethe after years of study and arrangement marks a new epoch in the study of earliest Egyptian life and religion. How comparatively inaccessible the Pyramid Texts have been until the appearance of Sethe's edition is best illustrated by the fact that no complete analysis or full account of the Pyramid Texts as a whole has ever appeared in English, much less an English version of them. The great and complicated fabric of life which they reflect to us, the religious and intellectual forces which have left their traces in them, the intrusion of the Osiris faith and the Osirian editing by the hand of the earliest redactor in literary history - all these and many other fundamental disclosures of this earliest body of literature have hitherto been inaccessible to the English reader, and as far as they are new, also to all. It was therefore with peculiar pleasure that just after the appearance of Sethe's edition of the Pyramid Texts I received President Francis Brown's very cordial invitation to deliver the Morse Lectures at Union Theological Seminary on some subject in Egyptian life and civilization. While it was obviously desirable at this juncture to choose a subject which would involve some account of the Pyramid Texts, it was equally desirable to assign them their proper place in the development of Egyptian civilization. This latter desideratum led to a rather more ambitious subject than the time available before the delivery of the lectures would permit to treat exhaustively, viz., to trace the development of Egyptian religion in its relation to life and thought, as, for example, it has been done for the Hebrews by modern critical and historical study. In the study of Egyptian religion hitherto the effort has perhaps necessarily been to produce a kind of historical encyclopedia of the subject. Owing to their vast extent, the mere bulk of the materials available, this method of study and presentation has resulted in a very complicated and detailed picture in which the great drift of the development as the successive forces of civilization dominated has not been discernible. There has heretofore been little attempt to correlate with religion the other great categories of life and civilization which shaped it. I do not mean that these relationships have not been noticed in certain epochs, especially where they have been so obvious as hardly to be overlooked, but no systematic effort has yet been made to trace from beginning to end the leading categories of life, thought, and civilization as they successively made their mark on religion, or to follow religion from age to age, disclosing especially how it was shaped by these influences, and how it in its turn reacted on society.

Albini, now you are home, can you do Naija please. It will be wonderful to look through your eyes that I think I must pay for the data up front.

What State are you in?

Ladyhippolyta88:
January 6 cannot come soon enough I wonder what they will be saying after that day.Do you know that some MAGAts still believe Biden will not be president despite all Trump's loses and the electoral college votes.
In their own words "Biden can never be president or president Trump keep fighting we the warriors or patriots are behind you,oh Biden cannot be president if not America will become China Beijing Biden is a part of China I fear for the misery we will be in and what Biden will do to America,no president Trump keep fighting"

These people are very sick and irredemable on January 20th when Biden takes office they will pray to wake up from their nightmare but they will not be able to.

My prayer is Dems win Georgia. Those magas can go hug something once they lose Georgia.

Timiofak:
Mazialaye

When i told you, mitch controls america, you argued with me

Here you have it

Mitch thinks he controls America and he talks crap to make you think he does and you forget the opponent he's playing against. Biden does not expect Mitch to let him win or pass policy, he'll find a way to crush his enemy so he wins!

Personally though, what twoface mitch says in private to donors is not what he'll be saying in public. But we shall see.

Dapcity007:
Wow
Pence will choose abortionist Harris over the republican party

Leftist imagination is bewildering

Pence will not be choosing. He will simply be affirming the choice of the ballot and the electorate.

It is dumb lack of imagination to think Pence or any single person chooses the American President.

Dapcity007:
He was never our strategic option, he proved to be a tactical nuisance who we discard accordingly with regards to his deeds and the other 5 other republican senators

It will be late for them to get back their political base when state electoral college voters and judicial options works out

Then you will know the truth and it shall set you free

You too will dump trump soon. In a few months you'd even be embarrassed at all you posted here, or at least I hope you are and don't just double down.

Funny. The Europeans you met never wanted anything from you and did not tell you their life story to elicit money from you and not even sympathy, nor did you jump on their back saying, you can raise their dead soja son if they take you to Dallas with them.

If na Naija, dem go de offer you juju for leukemia or tell you they know this person who will raise your dead soja son or throw sansan into your Texas and Dallas plans, which is why we do not tell you until we arrive in Malaysia make you no go spoil show for person.

DCatt:
He is and I feel sorry for him and the rest of his friends that will cry their eyes out come January. The liberal media has destroyed him with constant lying and gaslighting. I still don't get how people can be this disconnected from reality

I just wonder what you'd say come 20 January 2021 at 12:01pm when President Biden is sworn in. I will be here reading it I suppose.

DCatt:
the similarity between Lincon and Trump.

Try educating yourself with a book so you stop talking nonsense that shows you don't know what you're talking about. Only a person who knows nothing about Lincoln would say what you ignorantly say above.

I'd be interested how you spin it on the day.

LordReed:
Oh snap!

“You gained international infamy earlier this month as Rudy Giuliani’s so-called ‘star witness’ who could supposedly corroborate outlandish accusations that Dominion has somehow rigged or otherwise improperly influenced the outcome of the Nov. 2020 U.S. presidential election,” attorneys Thomas Clare and Megan Meier wrote. “Without a shred of corroborating evidence, you have claimed that you witnessed several different versions of voter fraud—ranging from one story involving a van, to other accusations that votes were counted multiple times. You published these statements even though you knew all along that your attacks on Dominion have no basis in reality.”

Percival9:
wish i had the free time

Free time Lol. I'm reading Lincoln by David Herbert Donald. Lincoln used to work on a farm chopping forest all day but every free moment he had he read a book.

I'd walk 7 miles from school Monday to Friday to save 50k to buy a book then stick it out the window to read all night with my neighbour's better than me.

I wish I could convince you to find the time to read books. As is said in some quarters, a page a day adds a day to life.

Newnas:
Rather every part of the year should be used without specifying or restricting to any particular time.

But as is written, just one word is sufficient for the salvation of some. It's not as if everyone is perfectly diligently thinking Jesus Mohammad all the time. I mean, bread got to get put on the table and all but I guess one can do God any and all the time.

Newnas:
Specifying a time for an act of worship must be based on revelation.

I agree with the previous more. All the time, and not, when revealed to me since I have the option to be blind to revelations.

Kobojunkiee:
So, if Jesus Himself affirmed the fact that the same God of the Old is He, why pretend they are not the same?

Please know. buda accepts the concept of the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It's sort of like the evolution of one from the other with none being the whole. It's like a holy mixture of three, and like a Tree, it grows.

Merry Christmas Kobojunkiee.

Easternmind:
Nothing was scorfed at or thrown away..
The two are still celebrated and liked today...

I think it depends on location. One can imagine places where either is a nono.

Mbeki:
Africans has nothing to offer the world except cheap raw materials, and poverty!

We only believe what was handed to us by others

You are either not African or you have a lot to give. Do you believe what was handed to you by others?

Newnas:
Firstly, Pristine Islam doesn't approve celebrating the birthday of any prophet; not Muhammad son of Abdullaah and not Eesaa son of Maryam (Solat and Salam of Allaah be upon them). All those celebrating it are only following their whims because of the money they get from their gullible followers. Even they know for sure that it's manifest error.

Secondly, the so-called birthday of Jesus has no proof in the book you carry around. So where did you get it from.

Thirdly, Eesaa bn Maryam never celebrated this pagan festival and neither did his disciples. Even one of your posts on front page explain that it's a fairly recent festival.

It's an opportunity to teach about them, Muhammad son of Abdullaah and Eesaa son of Maryam (Solat and Salam of Allaah be upon them), all part of ensuring we don't forget their lessons.

A good thing I'd think. Unless one wants to deprive the poor.

HellVictorinho:
It is the one that has to do with God(s) that I was referring to as unnecessary.
What else do you want to hear?

I've heard enough. Thanks.

VerifiedStalin:
It's a limited series. It ended just as planned.

They confusingly called it Part 1 though it was a complete series. They might have planned to do the next book but didn't because the first series was not as popular as the book and the second book was less popular.

"So congratulating them is forbidden, whether they are one’s colleagues at work or otherwise."

Well, let's see what the Bible says about God's plans for His creation, and who is responsible for the current state of affairs of this creation. Let us also see, who rules the Heavens and the Earth:
