The paradox of fear: An American on LinkedIn’s platform requests me to write about Google

 

Google is abusing its power of authority

Google is abusing its power of authority


An American contacted me on LinkedIn and shared with me all the Google violations and office abuse he couldn't bring himself to write about. I still remember that. I can understand why the businessman contacted me and requested that I write an article about Google, which he fears writing. Google is an omnipotent God capable of destroying your company or reducing its visibility entirely from its search engine.

 

Why should this businessman contact me for such an assignment? It may be likely that he had previously read all my articles I have written about the abuse of power by Google. I have been the only African writer brave enough to write about all the crimes and violations of Google without considering the repercussions, since I prefer to suffer than submit to undesirable elements.

 

I am currently experiencing such repercussions since it is incomprehensible for a site that was once receiving over 15,000 readers per day to drop to as low as 250 readers per day. If I were a powerful Black man, I would have sued Google for a huge amount of money for what they did to me. This would have made them reconsider misusing their position and attacking innocent individuals because of the truth.

 

They intentionally ruined our legitimate health blog, which was exposing the US government, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control, by entering my HTML and altering it to fit their needs because I am using a Google Blogger account. What offenses has Google not committed against me that, if I had done the same, would have resulted in my imprisonment?

 

There is no truth, and as the vulnerable and the poor continue to suffer, the world is falling apart at an accelerated rate. However, since nobody wants to become an enemy, they don’t give a damn, not even politicians or celebrities. Although I can sympathize with Jesus Christ's suffering due to the truth, I am proud of that Messiah because he rose from the dead.

 

Scientists have created many devices, such as oxygen respiration machines and incubators, but who can revive a deceased person? It is because your power is finite and only exists on earth. I despise those who believe they can rule or inflict suffering on others. I will not worship Google because power belongs to that unstoppable spirit we call God, not Google.

WAS JESUS CHRIST REALLY BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY - DECEMBER 25?

Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus

 

Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus 


There are more questions about the scriptures in the Holy Bible than answers. Many times, people ask who had a camera to snap Jesus for us to see him today in thousands of Christian religious magazines as a white man with a beard and long hair. And another intriguing question is, “Was Jesus Christ, the Savior, actually born on Christmas Day, which is December 25?


Christmas Day, which falls on December 25 in every calendar year, is an important occasion observed worldwide. This may be due to the fact that on December 25, the entire Catholic and most of the Protestant celebrate the Nativity of Christ, while on January 7, the Orthodox and a small part of the Protestant celebrate the Nativity of Christ. But the important question is, why this division?


An excerpt from the Catholic Encyclopedia reveals that "Christmas was not among the feasts of the early church. Actually, the word 'Christmas' comes from the word 'Christ-Mass,' that is to say, 'Mass to Christ.' Therefore, it is very likely that because of Christ's mass dedication by the Catholic Church, it eventually became a holiday, observed today as Christmas.


However, until the third century AD, no Christian church celebrated this event, and in the Bible, religious historians did not find anywhere that Christ was born on December 25 or that people observed the birth of Christ. Another important question comes: "So why did the Catholics choose December 25 as the birthday of Jesus Christ? 


What has been recorded in the bible long before the birth of Christ are some prophecies, for example:


And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” In Genesis 3:15

 “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” In Genesis 12:3

 “Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel.” In Isaiah 7:14

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” And this is found in Micah 5:2 


Yet, nothing is mentioned in them that Christ was to be born on Christmas Day or December 25. However, in those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world, forcing everyone to their own town to register. 

 

Joseph, therefore, went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, then to Bethlehem, the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.


While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger because there was no guest room available for them, and there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 


An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified, but the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”


According to the story, the shepherds were tending their sheep in the fields near Bethlehem when an angel came to them. It wasn't mentioned that the shepherds were tending their sheep in the fields in winter. Winter starts in December and lasts through February, and these months are very cold.


So, from this short article, which was written from the religious research I did, everyone can convincingly agree that our savior Jesus Christ wasn't born on Christmas Day or December 25.

.

This is one of the major reasons the Jehovah's Witnesses don’t observe December 25 or Christmas Day because the date of this winter season, or Christmas, originates at a time when the cult of the sun was powerful in Rome, which was associated with pagan celebration.


My conclusion is that it is not the celebration of Christmas or no celebration at all that makes one a good Christian. A true Christian does the will of God, is one who follows the principles of Christ Jesus, or is one who loves and cares about others without doing what he would never do to himself to other people.


And finally, we shouldn't forget that the Master himself warned, saying, " 


"Not everyone who calls me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do what my Father in Heaven wants them to do. Holman Christian Standard Bible "Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven.

THE HITLER-ISM IN MUGABE


Robert Mugabe liberated the Rhodesians from colonial oppression in 1980 but today's Zimbabweans demanded his resignation


Robert Mugabe liberated the Rhodesians from colonial oppression in 1980 but today's Zimbabweans demanded his resignation 


Do you know that Robert Mugabe before becoming the president of Zimbabwe was a teacher in Ghana? It was in the country formerly called Gold Coast; he met his first wife, a Ghanaian lady called Sally Francesca Heyfron. 


Like the late Ghanaian leader, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Mugabe fought tirelessly to free Rhodesia under colonial oppression and in 1980, the newly freed country became Zimbabwe. 

The controversial Mugabe ruled Zimbabweans for 37 years with an iron fist. Was he too old to think about the welfare of the suffering people in this country?


Mugabe, the highly educated 93-year-old leader, doesn't like both American and British leaders and has spoken against a wide range of topics; from homosexuality and Britain to Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

Mugabe ruled for almost four decades. His rule dramatically came to an end this week. Here are some of his famous quotes.


On imperialism


"Africa must revert to what it was before the imperialists divided it. These are artificial divisions which we, in our pan-African concept, will seek to remove." - Speech at Salisbury, 1962

"Stay with us, please remain in this country and constitute a nation based on national unity." - A plea to the white population of Zimbabwe at a Zanu-PF rally, 1980

"Only God, who appointed me, will remove me - not the MDC, not the British. Only God will remove me!" - Election rally, 2008. MDC is an opposition party.

"Our party must continue to strike fear in the heart of the white man, our real enemy." - Zanu-PF rally, 2002


On homosexuality:


"We ask, was he born out of homosexuality? We need continuity in our race, and that comes from the woman, and no to homosexuality. John and John, no; Maria and Maria, no. They are worse than dogs and pigs. I keep pigs and the male pig knows the female one." - ZDC radio interview, 2015

"We equally reject attempts to prescribe 'new rights' that are contrary to our values, norms, traditions, and beliefs. We are not gays!" - UNGA, 2015 
On Britain:

"Britain is a very cold, uninhabitable country with small houses." - Mutare rally, 2013 

"We are still exchanging blows with the British government. They are using gay gangsters. Each time I pass through London, the gangster regime of Blair 'expresses its dismay'." In reference to an incident in which human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell attempted a citizens' arrest on Mugabe during a visit to London in October 1999.

"We have fought for our land, we have fought for our sovereignty, small as we are we have won our independence and we are prepared to shed our blood ... So, Blair keeps your England, and let me keep my Zimbabwe." - Earth Summit, South Africa, 2002.


On Hitler:


"I am still the Hitler of the time. This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be Hitler tenfold. Ten times, that is what we stand for." - State funeral of a Cabinet minister, 2003


On the economy:


"Our economy is a hundred times better, than the average African economy. Outside South Africa, what country is [as good as] Zimbabwe? … What is lacking now are goods on the shelves - that is all." - Interview, 2007.


On Jesus Christ:


"I have died many times - that's where I have beaten Christ. Christ died once and resurrected once." - To state radio on 88th birthday

On cricket:
"Cricket civilizes people and creates good gentlemen I want everyone to play cricket in Zimbabwe; I want ours to be a nation of gentlemen." - This is a widely reported quote, but it was unclear when Mugabe said this.


On US presidents:


"Let Mr. Bush read history correctly. Let him realize that both personally and in his representative capacity as the current president of the United States, he stands for this 'civilization', which occupied, which colonized, which incarcerated, which killed. 

He has much to atone for and very little to lecture us on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. His hands drip with [the] innocent blood of many nationalities." - UNGA, 2007

"I've just concluded - since President Obama endorses same-sex marriage, advocates homosexual people, and enjoys an attractive countenance - thus if it becomes necessary, I shall travel to Washington, DC, get down on my knee, and ask his hand." - ZDC radio interview, 2015

"Some of us were embarrassed, if not frightened, by what appeared to be the return of the biblical giant gold Goliath. Are we having a return of Goliath to our midst, who threatens the extinction of other countries?" - UNGA, 2017

"May I say to the United States President, Mr. Trump, please blow your trumpet. Blow your trumpet in a musical way towards the values of unity, peace, cooperation, togetherness, dialogue, which we have always stood for." - UNGA, 2017


On grooming a successor:


"Grooming a successor, is it an inheritance? In a democratic party, you don't want leaders appointed that way. They have to be appointed properly by the people." - TV interview, 2016

Professor Colin Humphrey's great biblical discovery over "THE LAST SUPPER"


The last supper


The last supper



Christians have long celebrated Jesus Christ's Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, but new research released Monday claims to show it took place on the Wednesday before the crucifixion.


Professor Colin Humphreys, a scientist at the University of Cambridge, believes it is all due to a calendar mix-up -- and asserts his findings strengthen the case for finally introducing a fixed date for Easter.

Humphreys uses a combination of biblical, historical, and astronomical research to try to pinpoint the precise nature and timing of Jesus's final meal with his disciples before his death.

Researchers have long been puzzled by an apparent inconsistency in the Bible.

While Matthew, Mark, and Luke all say the Last Supper coincided with the start of the Jewish festival of Passover, John claims it took place before Passover.

Humphreys has concluded in a new book, "The Mystery Of The Last Supper", that Jesus -- along with Matthew, Mark, and Luke -- may have been using a different calendar than John.

"Whatever you think about the Bible, the fact is that Jewish people would never mistake the Passover meal for another meal, so for the Gospels to contradict themselves in this regard is really hard to understand," Humphreys said.

"Many biblical scholars say that, for this reason, you can't trust the Gospels at all. But if we use science and the Gospels hand in hand, we can actually prove that there was no contradiction."

In Humphreys' theory, Jesus went by an old-fashioned Jewish calendar rather than the official lunar calendar, which was in widespread use at the time of his death and is still in use today.

This would put the Passover meal -- and the Last Supper -- on Wednesday, explaining how such a large number of events took place between the meal and the crucifixion.

It would follow that Jesus' arrest, interrogation, and separate trials did not all take place in the space of one night but in fact occurred over a longer period.

Humphreys believes a date could, therefore, be ascribed to Easter in our modern solar calendar, and working on the basis that the crucifixion took place on April 3, Easter Day would be on April 5.
