Good afternoon, Marilyn, it is nice to chat with you again.

I would be interested to know how many property owners think they have water and mineral rights to the property they think they own.

Have you ever heard of property owners who are nowhere near or associated with any water treatment facilities, with wells and septic systems, having to pay taxes on rain water flowing off their properties?

Are there any restrictions on collecting and using falling rainwater coming? If we think these ideas are preposterous, we need to think again.

 

Hi Dennis, and good morning from down under.

Yes, the Orwellian is coming true. Glad you see it too. Really it is only those on the land going through these horrific changes that see it. My hubby`s dad, (passed to glory) said he was glad he didn`t have to farm in this era, as he had the best back in his day. He worked very hard on the farm and raised 6 boys, some of which also went farming - my hubby as one of them.

Hubby (Trevor) says that there are things in place for farmers having to pay for water coming onto their land.

Ten Global Development Issues for Discussion:

1. Poverty: Despite progress, a significant portion of the global population still lives in extreme poverty. Efforts to reduce poverty are ongoing, but challenges remain.

2. Climate Change: The impacts of climate change are becoming more severe, affecting ecosystems, human health, and economies. Mitigation and adaptation strategies are urgently needed.

3. Food Insecurity: Millions of people worldwide face acute food insecurity due to economic shocks, weather-related disasters, and other factors.

4. Health Crises: Global health issues, including pandemics and other diseases, continue to pose significant challenges to development.

5. Inequality: Social, economic, and political inequalities persist, hindering inclusive development and exacerbating vulnerabilities.

6. Conflict and Instability: Political instability, conflict, and violence disrupt development efforts and displace millions of people.

7. Environmental Degradation: Deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity threaten sustainable development.

8. Education: Access to quality education remains uneven, impacting the ability of individuals and communities to thrive.

9. Gender Equality: Gender disparities continue to affect women's and girls' opportunities and rights.

10. Technological Advancements: While technology offers opportunities for development, it also presents challenges related to digital divides and ethical considerations.

Shalom, @Michael37.

I love it! These ten things are among the issues that the Messiah will address when He returns! As @Marilyn C said above, Yeeshuwa` said,

Mark 14:7 (KJV)

7 "For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always."

This tells us the REASON why we always have the poor around! They provide us the OPPORTUNITY to "do them good!" When they have received their "good," and they have learned how to take care of themselves and others (if they can), they can "pay it forward" to others! Yeeshuwa` will make it more possible for them to take care of themselves and others, as He heals the sick, the lame, the deaf, the blind, and raises the dead! WE, who are His emissaries to this earth, will also be given the same power over these ailments and will be His ambassadors to other places and countries, providing them a broader base of healing to "pay forward!" It's going to be a WONDERFUL time! God will use US as well as His Messiah to get the job done! This will be FUN!

At the end of the Millennium (if not some before), God will remake this earth and its atmosphere into the third state after the Fire predicted in Revelation 20 and 2 Peter 3. That will answer the problem about the "climate change."

Hi Retro, 

And scriptures for all that please?

Transgender category was not in this list.

Now that you have raised it, let's be clear about what Transgender Activists are trying to achieve under the auspices of Human Rights:

Transgender activists are working towards several key goals to promote the rights and well-being of transgender individuals. Here are some of the main objectives:

1. Legal Recognition: One of the primary goals is to ensure that transgender individuals can change their identification documents to reflect their gender identity without undergoing medical procedures. This is known as gender self-identification.

2. Anti-Discrimination Protections: Activists strive to eliminate discrimination against transgender people in various areas, including housing, employment, public accommodations, education, and healthcare.

3. Healthcare Access: Ensuring that transgender individuals have access to appropriate and affirming healthcare is a significant focus. This includes access to hormone therapy, gender-affirming surgeries, and mental health support.

4. Safety and Protection: Transgender activists work to reduce violence and harassment against transgender individuals. This includes advocating for stronger legal protections and raising awareness about the issues faced by the transgender community.

5. Visibility and Representation: Increasing the visibility and representation of transgender individuals in media, politics, and society is another important goal. This helps to challenge stereotypes and promote a more inclusive and accepting society.

6. Education and Awareness: Activists aim to educate the public about transgender issues and promote understanding and acceptance. This includes providing resources and support for transgender individuals and their families.

These goals are part of a broader movement to ensure that transgender individuals can live their lives with dignity, respect, and equality. This is why they march, wave banners, and push their demonic agenda.

The consequences are not seen immediately but over a few decades. As the price of water becomes too much for some small local farmers they sell to big consortiums or to other farmers trying to get bigger. Whereas the small farmers were self-reliant, the farmers trying to get bigger have to borrow for larger machinery to produce crops/animals to pay for the water and other rising prices (eg fuel).

The general public still buying `cheap` food in the supermarket do not realize the shifting of power. Instead of locally produced food to go to the local market (butcher, grocer etc) the large corporations are getting the food etc and selling it world-wide. Thus, only large companies can compete in that environment.

It is all part of the UN & elite`s plan to get the food, water, land, etc in a few hands. The EU`s `Free Trade` agreements sound good but eventually everyone will be beholden to buy from the large corporations and the general public will no longer be self-sufficient but relying on the government.

Universal Basic Income is coming in and will make most people servants of the State. Those with some finance will still have to use their pension etc in that month as they are controlled by the CBDC. (Central Bank Digital Currency). Finally, all nation`s CBDC`s will be connected to the IMF and that is the trap shut - we are all in one economic basket.  

You raise an interesting point on all these so-called global free trade agreements I have studied and pondered upon. Thousands upon thousands of pages of documentation for “free trade.” By design, for a long time now, the world has grown smaller and interdependent on one another to meet national needs and globalization.

To my knowledge, no country is now self-dependent or self-sufficient, able to survive alone. This five-mineral “deal” Trump is trying to make with Ukraine is of vital importance to America.

As I inferred, this globalization goes back to the Tower of Babel and Nimrod. That was the goal through the ages and kingdoms: a one-world utopia with two classes of people, the rulers and those ruled.

Have you noticed Trump’s statements and ambitions for Canada and Greenland? As I mentioned, these global plans are a hidden open secret. I could wear out my keyboard documenting all the symbolism and intentions of this age. I will mention only one, the pyramid and all-seeing eye on Americas dollar bill, it is not conspiracy theory, but symbology and initiatives.

To straighten out this global trade mess and inefficiency, something needs to happen to globalize it, to remove national sovereignty from the equation. As Jan Markell rightly quips, “The pieces are not falling apart; they are falling into place.”

Enter the 1973 Club of Rome, dividing the globe into ten economic trading zones. Look at their map and the pieces falling into place—the latest with Trump’s declared statements with Canada and Greenland.

I think of the possibility of oligarchies or the Ten Kings (Ten Horns) being handed over to the Antichrist for global control.

I am convinced that this generation will witness many, if not all, of these things come to pass from here on out.

Let's look at some of the players investing in water and crop seeds.  George Bush bought hundreds of thousands of acres in Paraguay that covers the largest freshwater aquifer in the world.  He also implemented NAFTA and the Intercontinental Corridor from South America to Canada.  The Dupont family has tried more than once to get patents and licenses on seeds and hybrids, some with zero capabilities of producing viable seeds so that farmers and countries have to keep purchasing seeds year after year.   It's not just about the big sales and revenue; it's also a tool for population control.  And, there is Bill Gates who invested in the Seed Vaults to contain heritage seeds in case of global disasters and annihilations.

There are some very big players.

I do admire Israel for how they have made the desert bloom with fruits and vegetables.  They are the largest exporter of tomatoes to Europe.  They work very hard at sustainability.

I am reminded of the Biblical adage that if one doesn't work one doesn't eat.

While this sounds good on paper, despite the DEI (aka communist agenda) lingo, the "niceness" and "fairness" and "mercifulness" of this is lost behind transgenderism being shoved down our throats, exposing children to sexual behavior (Drag Show Hour at libraries), allowing perverted men to pretend being transgender so that they can watch women dressing in locker rooms or rape them in bathrooms, and allowing subpar athletic men to dress the part and demolish women's sports.

That being said, what would Jesus say about this?

Would He support mean and women, boys and girls, denying His image that He created them to be?

Here`s one example - Water.

Hi,  That made me immediately think of who  bought one of the largest resource for fresh water on earth; George W. Bush.
