EnochWalked: www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2313892 "Currently licensed and approved malaria subunit vaccines provide modest, short-lived protection against malaria. Immunization with live ... malaria parasites is an alternative vaccination strategy" Nov 22, 2024 11:03:44 GMT -6

EnochWalked: Now think back to this: www.cnbc.com/2017/11/28/bill-gates-released-swarming-mosquitoes-to-make-a-point-about-malaria.html "Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates released a swarm of mosquitoes on an unsuspecting audience at a TED conference in 2009." Nov 22, 2024 11:05:02 GMT -6

EnochWalked: Maybe this is his plan to get everyone to accept his next (patented) vaccine. There probably aren't any laws about infecting mosquitoes, or releasing them. All he would need is a way to release millions of them at scale. Oh wait, that exists too: Nov 22, 2024 11:07:42 GMT -6

EnochWalked: edition.cnn.com/2024/11/22/world/iran-iaea-centrifuges-censure-intl-hnk/index.html "Iran says it is activating new centrifuges after being condemned by UN nuclear watchdog". Presumably also timed to show that Israel's strikes haven't stopped them. Nov 22, 2024 11:37:14 GMT -6

EnochWalked: 'Earlier this year ... Blinken said that Iran’s breakout time – the amount of time needed to produce enough weapons grade material for a nuclear weapon – “is now probably one or two weeks,” the shortest breakout time that US officials have ever referenced' Nov 22, 2024 11:37:59 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdWIL8ki7do "Messiah 2030 - FAQ - Part 1". Some interesting insights into their position. They seem to think that the Rapture happens after the Tribulation, and that Christians will have to go through the 3.5 year wrath. Nov 22, 2024 22:36:25 GMT -6

EnochWalked: I am prepared to hear them out on that, but they've been quite evasive about it so far, which suggests either they are not very confident in their position, or they are trying to hide it because they know people will disagree (which feels deceptive to me). Nov 22, 2024 22:38:33 GMT -6

EnochWalked: x.com/awwstn/status/1860043057284153782 People can't help accidentally suggesting that Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is the antichrist. But if Elon convinces Trump to use the Defense Production Act to seize OpenAI, then Altman ("old man") is history. Nov 22, 2024 22:57:19 GMT -6
