  • Long story short, he was always a slimy asshole, but here are some key points from wikipedia and just in regards to his mayoral position:

    • Hated the homeless and tried to have them “removed”(used cops to arrest them and shove them in overcrowded shetlers. A church ended up suing the city for their right to help homeless people)

    • “cracked down on crime”, by basically aggressively arresting people for minor crimes like jumping the turnstile.

    • Tried to stop multiple community service proogram for the mentally ill, elderly, day-care, etc.

    • Big fan of “eminent domain” to take buildings and give them to his sponsors.

    • Racist with multiple racist pollcies, many staffers and leaders left because of him.

    • He threaten funding for the Brooklyn Musem if they didn’t remove several pieces, specifically including one called “The Holy Virgin Mary” which was of a black person. Calling it a governement-supported attack on christianity and they had to sue the city.

    • Campaigned on fixing public schools, but cut $2bill of their budget and $4.7bill from the repairs budget

    • Two days after Columbine he said he wanted to “blow up” the Board of Education.

    • Wanted to imprison the teachers union president if they went into strike(their contract was up and the city hadn’t started any renegotiation)

    • Allegedly cheated on his wife with his spokeswoman

    • Tried to threaten Time Warner to have Fox on their cable network, and defended Murdoch when all the surveillance and bribery scandals came about

    • His administration lost 22 out of 26 civil liberty lawsuits against them, mostly for trying to stifle first amandment rights.

    • He wanted a deal with Virginia in which they had to take NYCs trash, in exchange for them being able to visit NYCs culture sites. He also tried to send it to New Jersey, and announced that wihtout actually talking to them first, at all. This all happened because he closed a landfill 20-30 years too early , because he didn’t like how it looked, so it had to be shipped out of town. Costing millions, causing even more pollution, etc.

  • The bible has a bunch of different references to oil, as it was used a lamp fuel(and some rituals).

    This one refers to Revelation 6:6

    And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

    From KJ or this one from the NIV

    Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

    Referring to how the price of food would go up, but oil and alcohol would not.

  • It’s a custom protocol that uses SSL/TLS for key exchange and such, so it can be detected. It’s actually causing huge problems for many large Russian companies, as it’s common to use those protocols for remote access, work, etc.

    As mentioned in the article you need something like “Shadowsocks” to avoid protocl blocking, since it fully disguises the traffic as standard SSL/TLS. Which was created for, and is still used to circumvent this type of blocking in “the great firewall of china”.




  • I’ve read these stories multiple times now and I still don’t quite understand what’s happening.

    That’s because it’s mostly lies and propaganda not aimed at you, but the Russian people.

    Russians have been burning those offices for over a year, with it ramping up after people started getting forcefully recruited. Russia as always is trying to say it’s not “real russians” doing it, but people influenced by “the evil west”. It’s their standard strategy when it comes to pretty much any set back, ever. In this case it’s mostly blamed on “evil ukranian scammers”, so they can keep justifying the invasion and occupation.


  • If you’re thinking of the modern pop-culture version of the anti-christ, then no.

    If you compare his behaviour to how the bible actually describes the anti-christ, then yes.


    According to the bible he is supposed to:

    • Be a divisive non-politician who comes into power against peoples expectations.

    • Be overly arrogant with great boastful speeches

    • Lead many people away from Jesus and cause them to blindly follow himself.

    • Lead a very powerful military nation

    • Publically threaten people as a common tactic

    • Be very focused on winning/conquering

    • Rise to power through collusion, lies and corruption.

    • His election into power will by some be seen as a miracle

    • Will use his power to enrich themselves and their allies

    • Spread lies and falsehoods as truth, general lies and deception.

    • It specifically says he will reward his allies with land/property

    • Become angry and threaten the “King of the south”(Mexico)

    • Be supported by some of the nations most powerful religious leaders(super churches and such support him)

    • See themselves as above everyone else

    • Disregard the needs of the most vulnerable in society

    • Some will rise up in protest and face violence in return


    Some things that are almost too on the nose:

    • Only see one term

    • Attempt to stay in power but defeated by the legal system

    • Use his armed forced to remove people from a church for their own nefarious needs

    • During their rule there will be large inflation in food cost, while oil remains cheap

    • There will be a pandemic and mass death during their rule

    • Supposed to worship the “god of fortresses” (in reference of walls and keeping people out)

    • Followers will wear a mark on their forehead (maga caps)
