    The Greeks called it hubris. Christians used to call it idolatry.
    A pandemic is a plague.

    "When they fast, I am not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them Rather I am going to make an end of them by the sword, famine and pestilence."-Jeremiah 14:12​

    But if Trump, The Chosen One, is our modern King Cyrus, then why are we dying of the plague?

    Didn't God hear our proclamation that Trump is the Chosen One?

    Or does God refuse to be a fool?

    Thank you for reaffirming Camus! Capitalism is homeless and will die from a virus.

    The Old Testament God says of idolatrous nationalism, "Make me a god of a hill? SNAKES FOR YOU!"

    "There have been as many plagues as wars in history; yet always plagues and wars take people equally by surprise.
    When a war breaks out, people say: 'It's too stupid; it can't last long.' But though a war may well be 'too stupid,' that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way; as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves. In this respect our townsfolk were like everybody else, wrapped up in themselves; in other words they were human: they disbelieved in pestilences."
    --Albert Camus, The Plague

    Yet we have always gotten through and always they pass. One would hope they would leave us a bit wiser but so many still lean on the shibboleth called big government.

    "Socialism is crab pot on steroids administered by a bureaucracy which grows ever more powerful as the masses grow poorer."

    I think you have the definition of socialism confused with the modern "corporation" as a private tyranny.

    “Humans are always blaming the gods for their suffering / but they experience pain beyond their fate because of their own recklessness.”--The Olympian god Zeus​

    There is a reason why Religion is in disrepute. Disgusting. Viciousness. Demonic.
    1. Social Fascism: Fascism, in the social sense, is ultimately an affirmation of “traditional values,” The Nazi slogan was , “Kinder, Küche, Kirchen,” or Children, Church, Kitchen.

    2. Fascism was ultimately born out of, and supported by, conservatism and the belief that Western Civilization had become decadent and self-ruinous.

    3. So fascism, as it developed, was reactionary; it was a reaction to the perceived problems of modernism, and the immediate perceived threat of Communism.

    4. Fascism labeled their enemies as decadent “liberals” and “Social Democrats.”

    5. Early on fascism was seen as a movement that embraced Christianity. In Germany fascists promoted what they called “true Christianity”, which was essentially “Christian fundamentalism.”

    6. The fascists opposed atheism, modernism, the Enlightenment, intellectualism, liberalism, democracy, Social Democrat activist, Marxism, secularism, true laissez-faire capitalism, and evolutionary theory. What is most important to note about this is that many people, not just the fascists, shared many elements of these same feelings. These sentiments are in essence the definition of right-wing social ideology.

    7. Hitler himself complained of evolutionary theory and advocated teaching creationism in the German schools. "God Is With Us": Hitler's Rhetoric and the Lure of "Moral Values" by Maureen Farrell “The book The German Churches Under Hitler includes his assertion that secular schools should not be tolerated while Hitler's Table Talk quotes him questioning the wisdom in teaching children both creationism and the theory of evolution. "The present system of teaching in schools permits the following absurdity: at 10 a.m. the pupils attend a lesson on the catechism, at which the creation of the world is presented to them in accordance with the teachings of the Bible; and at 11 a.m. they attend a lesson in natural science, at which they are taught the theory of evolution. Yet the two doctrines are in complete contradiction! As a child, I suffered from this contradiction, and ran my head against a wall. Often I complained to one or another of my teachers against what I had been taught an hour before — and I remember that I drove them to despair. Hitler on Religion "

    8. In 1929 Mussolini signed the Lateran Treaty with Pope Pius XI. This established Catholicism as the official religion of the State, gave the Pope increased political powers, gave papal sovereignty to Vatican City, ensured that the Catholic religion would be taught in all schools, compensated the Pope with $90 million for the loss of papal property since 1870, and cemented broad Catholic support for Mussolini.

    9. The Great Scandal: Christianity's Role in the Rise of the Nazis by Gregory S. Paul The Concordat , signed on July 20, 1933, was a classic POLITICAL KICKBACK SCHEME. The Catholic church supported the new dictatorship by endorsing the end of democracy and free speech. In addition it bound its bishops to Hitler’s Reich by means of a loyalty oath and in exchange for supporting Hitler the Catholic church received enormous 1.) tax income and 2.) protection for church privileges. 3.) Religious instruction and prayer in school were reinstated. 4.) Criticism of the church was forbidden. Page 11.

    10. The first concentration camp in Germany was Dachau, which opened in 1933. The primary prisoners of the Dachau camp were Communists, Social Democrats, and atheists. The first camps were essentially for "enemies of the State". Over time Gypsies, homosexuals, and dissenting clergymen were sent to Dachau as well.

    The Nazis advocated “Muscular Christianity,” as opposed to “Feminized Christianity” that portrayed Jesus as “a woman with a beard.” This same sect of Christianity is active in America today. Muscular Christianity: Masculine Christianity vs Feminized Christianity

    Do you mean China, the country that the entire US manufacturing base has been exported to? You mean RED COMMUNIST CHINESE that all our corporate CEO meet and deal with daily. You mean the country we are dependent on for pharmaceutical? Or do you mean Iran, another authoritarian country, that suppressed the fact the virus was spreading just like Trump and his mafia gang were busy exploiting their foreknowledge and power for profit.

    Like our economic situation, the Spanish Flu also originated in the U.S. at Camp Funston, Kansas 1918 which killed 50 million worldwide and is less lethal than this Covid-19 virus. So depending on this pandemic body death count we may be able to call it even. But why is it called the Spanish Flu? Hey, Tex. You need to sit down and read something, or you could be embarrassed very badly. Just some advice.

    The Trump admin. and his Christian fascists did not cause this plague--they just lied about it to protect their power and are trying to profit off the mega-death.

    We must turn to the Ancient Greek gods of space for the truth since the Christian god has become corrupt, unjust, and a fool.
    Even the limited Olympic gods of Ancient Greece would spew them out of their mouths...Tex.

    Yes, I was talking about China .. the land of stolen intellectual property, stolen technology, slave labor, genocide, and bat soup. The place that Trump (in his wisdom) has tried to wean us off.

    “The Chosen One” -- and very Holy, not unholy—President Donald Trump announces a new member to his Cold and Sniffles Task Force in the high tech field of Biological Science. Everybody says this new CEO of medical technology knows their ****!

    This genius and really smart CEO is based in SILICON VALLEY!!! Science and the American’s Greatest will lead us out of the wilderness to the Promise Land of Profits. This CEO-- PhD holder from many universities like Harvard and Pepperdine--is blazing a new trail into the land of “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!” to create a Sniffles test kits using only a small sample giving instant results. It’s really fantastic. It’s almost like magic….at a reasonable price.

    Trump knows this science **** inside and out and our new member is the REAL DEAL brought to you by the Real Deal Maker. This is incredible! Great! 100%. And really Good!

    With hard work, and even gooder ethics (not the bad ethics), and a no bid $10 billion free market subsidy contract this CEO will direct their vast intelligence to the demise of the Sniffles virus using state of the art technology thingys. This is beginning of a new dawn of American Capitalism moving forward by its own visionaries!!!!

    It works every time!​

    Plague of Ancient Athens

    Dr. Robert R. Redfield Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the Trump administration. Redfield authored the foreword to the book co-written by W. Shepard Smith, "Christians in the Age of AIDS" which discouraged the distribution of sterile needles to drug users as well as condom use calling those in favor of distribution "false prophets."

    Redfield’s book described AIDS as "God's judgment" against homosexuals. When nominated to head the CDC, Dr. Redfield still maintained close ties with anti-gay and anti-HIV activists.

    Redfield was the principal investigator over clinical trials of a treatment vaccine at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Often the patient would die from the trial HIV vaccines.

    "Either he was egregiously sloppy with data or it was fabricated," said former Air Force Lt. Col. Craig Hendrix, a doctor who is now director of the division of clinical pharmacology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "It was somewhere on that spectrum, both of which were serious and raised questions about his trustworthiness."(Source)

    Specimen: Redfield Parasitos
    Para (beside), sitos (food)
    Parasite: παράσι_τ-ος , ὁ,​

    A. One who eats at the table of another, and repays him with flattery and buffoonery, parasite, Epich.36, Arar.16, etc.; name of plays by Antiph., Alex., and Diph.; περὶ Παρασίτου, title of work by Luc.: c. gen., “κενῆς π. τραπέζης” AP11.346 (Autom.) : metaph., ἰχθὺς ἦν π. (v. ὄψον) Luc.Lex.6.

    This same version { H1N1 } in 2009 had like 500 deaths by spring
    and not until October of that year did this corrupted { Obama Idolatry }
    Mainstream media bother to write articles and report on the 1,ooo th death
    associated with that Pandemic that Originated in the U.S.
    Under Obama,the Annointed one.
    That Swine flu infected upwards of 60 Million in the U.S. killing appx.
    12,ooo.

    NO ... Trump made a National Emergency declaration when the death total
    was UNDER 40.A couple months into the Pandemic.
    Obama,contrarily made that same declaration Many months
    later { 6 months }.
    Compare 2 months to 6 months.
    40 deaths to 1,ooo deaths { 1oo children }.
    Because we all know how much Liberal democrats care about
    our kids.Because they keep telling us.
    Kinda like the way them democrats treat the unborn.
    Precisely the same way.

    Rationalizations. Bench-marking is rationalization. What if Obama screwed up like Trump and the deaths were 120,000? That's rationalization.

    You can tell the collective is getting desperate when they start talking all religious. Really scraping the bottom of the jar.

    Ask yourself, do you feel the love radiating from this thread?

    Oh trust me, this is hilarious to LGBT people. This is the exact same crap we dealt with during HIV/AIDS crisis.

    You wrote as your slogan, "Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it."- American Philosopher George Santayana." And you missed it. Missed it totally. Completely missed it. And then topped it off with a progressive talking point!

    Plagues follow bad leadership in ancient Greek tales

    I think you missed the context. Trump was claiming he was chosen by Americans to resist ChiCom market domination, not claiming he was chosen by God to be a messiah or prophet or w/e ur trying to narrate.

    To be fair though, its not impossible that the ChiComs, viewing themselves as deific, loosed this virus to retaliate against or 'smite' the American resistance to their domination of global markets. So I spose there may be a small amount of validity to your comparison.
