  3. Get ready for the claims of racism when the storm smashed the rest of the nonfunctional public works there. Only to find out the politicians just stole the money? Didn’t we learn from the last 3 weather disasters about how corrupt and incompetent PR is governed?

  4. Tajikistan started the provocation, that later turned into the full scale war. Kyrgyzstan have absolutely no gain in this, they are in the process of making the alliances with neighboring countries, and that makes Russian authority in the region weaker. Tajikistan is Russian ally, so no wonder Russia used Tajikistan to invade Kyrgyzstan, and therefore scare them away from trying to get independent from Russian dictatorship. Tajikistan is an invador, Kyrgyzstan does everything in its power to protect its citizens

    The Tajik were the one who started the war, They started to invade the Kyrgyzstan by killing the innocent children and taking over the public school   by putting their flag as if they have done something to be proud about, the innocent people were killed and they made fun of the Kyrgyz corpses. It shows that Tajiks soldiers have lost the humanity. Please stop blaming the Kyrgyzstan.

    The Tajik side invaded the territory of Kyrgyzstan and accuses it of armed aggression. The Kyrgyz people do not need foreign lands. We just want to live in peace. Most importantly, how can an aggressor accuse the Kyrgyz Republic of aggression if the fighting took place on the territory of Kyrgyzstan.

    The Republic of Tajikistan invaded the territory of Kyrgyzstan and accuses it of armed aggression. Many Kyrgyz soldiers and incense people harshly die because of it! Kyrgyz people never needed a neighbor’s land. The only thing we want is to live a peaceful life in our home country, where nobody attacks us. Furthermore how the aggressors could even blame Kyrgyzstan if the war started in the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic, not in Tajikistan?

    الطاجيك هنن يلي بلشوا الحرب. هجموا على قرغيزيا وقتلوا اطفال ابرياء وسيطروا على مدرسة. ورفعوا العلم تبعن كانو عملوا شي بيدعو للفخر. عالم بريئة ماتت وقعدوا يتمسخروا عالجثث. هاد الشي بدل انو جنود الطاجيك مالهم بشر. حاج تلوموا قرغيزيا

    الجيش الطاجيكي يغزو أراضي قيرغيزستان و ويتهم شعبها بالعدوان المسلح.  لا يحتاج شعب قيرغيزستان إلى تدخلات أجنبية.  نريد فقط أن نعيش في سلام. والسؤال الأهم كيف يمكن للمعتد أن يتهم جمهورية قيرغيزستان بالعدوان إذا وقع القتال في أراضي

    Русский:

    Таджики напали на Кыргызстан и обвинили Кыргызстан в вооруженном нападении. Кыргызам не нужны чужие земли, мы просто хотим жить в мире. И самое главное, как может агрессор обвинить Кыргызстан в агрессии, если война происходит на территории Кыргызстана?

    ______________

    Таджики начали войну, они начали вторжение, убив невинных детей и захватив школы. Ради провокации кыргызов, они развесили таджикские флаги на наших школах! Гражданские кыргызы были убиты, и таджики публично издевались над телами убитых. Это показывает, что таджикские солдаты лишены человечности. Пожалуйста, прекратите обвинять Кыргызстан!

    ______________

    Кыргызстан – демократичная страна, у нас власть сменяется регулярно. А в Таджикистане диктатор сидит у власти уже более 20 лет. Подумайте логично, кому здесь более выгодно напасть на соседа? Кыргызстан работает над укреплением дружеских отношений с соседними странами, и это ослабляет влияние России в Центральной Азии. Таджикская диктатура в хороших отношениях с Кремлем. Сложите 1+1 и подумайте логически. Кому выгоднее это вторжение?!

    _____

    Таджикистан – страна агрессор. В отличие от Кыргызстана, у их прессы нет свободы слова. В Кыргызстане каждый говорит что хочет, даже власть регулярно критикуется открыто, потому что кыргызы – свободный народ. Вся информация о войне, которая поступает из Кыргызстана проверяется на легитимность, и благодаря свободе слова, мы не допустим фейков. Чего не скажешь о Таджикистане, где таджики слова лишнего боятся сказать против своей власти.

  15. because God loved the world so much that he gave his only son Jesus Christ for all mankind so that any man who believes in Jesus Christ may inherit eternal life through him if we confess our sins Jesus Christ is faithful and just to forgive us and only through Jesus can we inherit eternal life767

  18. We the people of Puerto Rico were not ready for this we have still been under constant blackouts since Maria years ago and the government is doing what? Nothing because the governor is as corrupt as the past Governor all the federal Monies are going towards things that the island does not need or want like CRT and gender ideology and sex books and free abortions but our roads are electric company or infrastructure is a sham and the only place where you can always find electricity and running water is where the rich people live and the tourists are the rest of the island is left in the dark

  19. The Solution For the Calamity of The Corona War and the Climate War

    Quote: From Allaah's caliph, Al-Mahdi (Arabic: المهديّ, The Guided One)

    to Joe Biden, the President of America and Xi Jinping, the President of China, along with all the leaders in the worlds and their peoples altogether … Be witnesses against yourselves and your peoples that I have told you, 16 years ago, that your world has ended, your end has come, and the time for your judgment has neared, yet you are heedlessly turning away. Also, I have let you know that I am Al-Mahdi; Allaah's caliph on you. The Owner of Sovereignty (Allaah) Has Chosen me, the One Who Gives sovereignty to whom He Wills and Takes sovereignty away from whom He Wills. And Who Honors whom He Wills and Humbles whom He Wills. That is Allaah my Lord and your Lord so worship Him alone no partners with Him. And obey me to guide you to the way of Allaah the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, with insight from Him which is the Great Quran that was revealed by Allaah to the seal of the prophets and messengers the illiterate prophet Mohammed, the messenger of Allaah, with the Great Quran, for people altogether; so they worship Allaah alone no partners with Him, the One who has never taken a wife nor a son, and there is none comparable unto Him

    O Muslims, Christians, Jews, and atheists along with people altogether, I bear witness to Allaah that I informed you of the Planet of Torment [A.K.A Nibiru] which was deep in the northern space of planet Earth and has started to approach your land from a place far-off. Certainly, it will rise upon you from the horizons of the south of the earth, and it will block the southern horizon of it when it [the planet of torment] rises, as per precisely and meticulously described; from the southeastern side to the southwestern side. Thereupon, it sends upon those who disobey Allaah, and the enemies of His messengers and His caliph Al-Mahdi, flames of fire and copper. Verily, I do not say about Allaah anything but the truth, and who is more unjust than he who fabricates lies against Allaah? And, I seek refuge in Allaah to be of the ignorants or those who say about Allaah that which they do not know

    I bear witness to Allaah the One, the Overpowering that I, Allaah's caliph, Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani, announce the absolute disbelief in the theory of global warming. And I have given you a ruling, 16 years ago, that if the worlds turn away from the call of Al-Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani, Allaah will declare war against them through the war of the skirmish of the Planet of Torment (Also known as Nibiru/Saqar) from a place far-off. It has become much closer than it was 16 years and a couple of months ago, and it is now skirmishing with the Sun, Moon, and Earth. As a result, Allaah has Raised the intensity of the calamity of His climatic war by air, land, and sea; in addition to, the torment of somewhat [like] a gnat [Arabic:بعوضة, Romanized: Ba'ouda] about which you encompass no knowledge. O children of Adam, the so-called Coronavirus is the ba'ouda of the blood and is not Corona. But, smart living beings that have been prepared through Allaah's Words of Power [the Word "be" so it is], and live on their own in land, sea, and air

    Verily, Coronavirus is of the calamities of the lesser torment that perhaps the worlds may turn to Allaah in repentance, believe in Allaah alone no partners with Him, worship Him alone no partners Has He, and obey Allaah and His caliph Al-Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani, but unfortunately, Allaah's lesser torment has not increased you, until now, except denial of Allaah Lord of the worlds, as if Allaah is not anything to be mentioned, Glorified and highly Exalted is He above what they associate with Him. It is as if you are the controllers over the kingdom of the heavens and earth by claiming that you will stop the calamity of Allaah's climatic war Exalted is He but I swear by Allaah that you cannot control the tiniest soldiers of Allaah (the blood gnat and its species altogether) in the Qur'an. Furthermore, your quarantines will not benefit you from now on, as at the beginning, the virus was content with locking you up and eliminating your livelihoods, or do you think that you will go back to your quarantines and lockdowns so that Allaah lessens the intensity of the virus from upon you, in return, like what had happened before?!

    And I had previously issued a ruling to you that the war of the blood gnat (the so-called Corona) is directly conducted by Allaah, it receives orders from its Lord, so they do what they are commanded. And I give you tidings that your vaccines will completely fail and be worthless, and you will throw them in the trash, because simply you will never find a saviour to save you from Allaah’s torment nor a protector.

    However, if you really want the solution that shall save you from the calamity of Allaah's climatic war and the calamity of the war of Allaah's soldiers; the blood gnat; the so-called Corona, then obey Allaah and His caliph Al-Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani. And respond to the caller of Allaah who invites you to worship Allaah alone no partners with Him; with insight from Allaah, which is the Great Quran, so call no one else with Him!! In addition, whoever worships another God besides Allaah let him call upon him to remove the evil of corona from upon him, if he should be truthful! Indeed, neither Allaah's prophets nor Imams (Arabic:إمام, leaders) of the Book and Allaah's caliph Al-Mahdi would not benefit you whatsoever, in line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted:

    {قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُم مِّن دُونِهِ فَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيلًا ‎﴿٥٦﴾‏ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَهُ وَيَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُ ۚ إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُورًا ‎﴿٥٧﴾‏ وَإِن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَسْطُورًا ‎﴿٥٨

    ﴾‏} [الإسراء]

    {Say, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]." (56) Those whom they invoke seek Al-Waseela* to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared. (57) And there is no city but that We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with severe punishment. That has ever been inscribed in the Book (58)} 17:56-58

    *Translator's note: (Waseelah) is a proper noun. It is translated as (The Means) —The Means (Al – Waseelah) is the name of the highest rank in Paradise that shall be obtained by one of Allah’s servants only, who will be the nearest servant to Allah, according to Hadeeth from prophet Mohammad PBUH. Meaning: (They seek to reach the highest rank (called The Means) which of them would be the nearest to Allah)

  24. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
    "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
    So you must be careful to do everything they tell you.
    But do not do what they do,
    for they do not practice what they preach.

    They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders,
    but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
    Everything they do is done for people to see:
    They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;
    they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
    they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.

    But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant.
    For those who exalt themselves will be humbled,
    and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
    Matthew 23 NIV

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.

    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
    BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
    And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
    your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
    But if you do not forgive others their sins,
    your Father will not forgive your sins.

    "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
    then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come
    when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

  32. … Today, Sept. 20th marks exactly 5 years Since Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico.
    ….. In Sept. 2017, They were first hit by Hurricane Irma, … Many are unaware, that although the island suffered damage, they gathered themselves enough to bring in people from other islands that were more devastated, … including NON U.S. islands.

    These guests were housed at the Convention Center in San Juan …. Cruise Ships ferried them in …….. And they were provided shelter and food.

    The people of Puerto Rico mobilized what little they had to help others even when they were hurt.
    A week later, Hurricane Maria Hit, and thousands lost their lives AFTER THE STORM HAD PASSED.

    TODAY, the American Citizens of Puerto Rico are again being tested … HELP THEM.

  34. Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for?
    In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look.
    It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world.
    We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet.

  43. Do not send any help or donations through the government of Puerto Rico. The government will keep it for themselves or hide it just like they did with hurricane Maria. Send it to an individual person that way you’re sure somebody will receive your help. Do not send anything to the government. The government will steal it

  44. And it's just the beginning of the last time. Many people refused God's Law. Vatican's pope still bow down and speak to statues 🙂 of Fatima, instead of praying to Lord Jesus Christ. As he sacrificed Ukraine & Russia to her, that's why it doesn't help. And he still teach to celebrate Sunday 1st day of the week instead of Sabbath 7th day according to Law of God. That's why we have got all these issues.
