  1. World War III Has Begun; How It Unfolds Depends on Us

    We think of the Russia-Ukraine war as a local conflict, but it is much more than that; it is a global war on multiple fronts. The war is not only a military conflict; it is also an economic war of attrition. With skyrocketing gas prices and shortage of staples, people all over the world are feeling the consequences of the war.

    This war is transforming the entire modus operandi of humanity. Since the dawn of time, we have been accustomed to living by the motto, “survival of the fittest.” By and large, the rule was that the strong determined the rules, and the rules were often abusive toward the weak. Now, it seems like a new mindset has set in: Wanting something and being strong enough to take it does not mean that the world will accept it.

    The war, therefore, is being fought on the inside no less, and perhaps more than on the outside. Our very makeup is changing from abusive to cooperative, from narcissistic to altruistic.

    It hurts, and it will not happen without a struggle, but it is irreversible. This is the path of our evolution toward the purpose of our creation—to encompass within us all of creation. To do that, we must come to care for it, just as a mother encompasses her child through her maternal love.

    The struggle to transition from our current uncaring and mean approach to all creations but ourselves, into wise and compassionate beings is called “the war of Gog and Magog” or Armageddon.

    Since the war is about our inner makeup, we can fight it within us. If we object to struggling with ourselves over who will rule—the ego or love—the physical reality will force us to choose love nonetheless. However, it will do so by hurting us in a very physical way.

    The war in Eastern Europe is nothing compared to what we might have to endure if we resist the process. The horrific descriptions of our sages and prophets hint at it, and we would not want to live through it.

    Alternatively, we can fight this war within us without firing a single bullet. The choice is in our hands. All we need is to continue in the same direction that nature is already leading us: toward connection. If we make an effort to care for one another, even though initially we don’t, then we are moving in the right direction. If we try to resolve conflicts not with guns or even legal battles, but by strengthening the care and friendship between us, then we are saving lives and sparing torments from countless people.

    In conclusion, let us try to rise above the hatred and see the human on the other side, who suffers too. Let us think that this war was given to us so we would think about each other more than we have so far. After all, were it not for this war, we would not notice one another. Now that it is here, we are no longer indifferent. Although our feelings our currently negative, now that we are aware of them, we can work on them together and turn them around. These are the wars of the Messiah who moshech [Hebrew: pulls] us out of the ego, and into mutual love.

  2. Yada Yada Yada, there ain't no darn such thang as climate change. 😄😄😄😄😄

  3. I feel so sorry for the people who are living through this nightmare.

  4. you know how do them wildfires start eh sound like someone is starting them so they can put them out

  5. move out of tx & not worry about it anymore

  6. Texas getting a little of their own medicine. It's called KARMA

  7. Refugees from Ukraine are being turned away at our Southern border Democrats only want people here that will vote for them

  8. Isn't that the governor and Republican state that said not to offer California any help when when they were being ravaged by fire's? Isn't that Texas's problem and not the federal government problem because Texans were very vocal about not helping California, Oregon and Washington state! I'm just saying! Maybe Joe Rogan can help put out the fire's

  9. I think the Texas GOP should take Trump's advice that Texas wild fires are due to them not raking their brush. This is the advice and blame that he talked about with California.

  10. Praying these fires will be contain, so no more homes will be burn. Looks so much like what happened in California.

  11. So is Abbott fighting fires or lieing like he did about the power grid ?

  12. Obviously. This is China's dirty job. Remember, 400 luxury cars burnt on the cargo ship. Then Taiwan's largest  warehouse burned away. Recently, walmart warehouse turned to ash. Then 2nd warehouse flamming.And now America Australia Canada faces wildfire bushfires. China experenced for it. Whats the China's next target? World leaders too naive, blind and too weak.

  16. Is climate change real yet? Couldn’t happen to a better state

  17. yes this good news less and less resources

  18. Red states don't want to pay taxes to support the Federal Government, but FEMA spends most of it's time and resources in those same Red states. I thought Texas wanted to secede from the Union. Maybe not until after FEMA bails them out. In the mean time, thank the Blue states Texas, FEMA is on the way.

  19. Climate change isn’t real, wildfires aren’t real either. Go contain yourself Texas, you’re everything wrong with the country.

  20. Joel 2: 1-11

    "Blow the ram’s horn in Zion;
    sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; indeed, it is near— a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness.

    Like the dawn overspreading the mountains
    a great and strong army appears, such as never was of old, nor will ever be in ages to come.

    Before them a fire devours, and behind them a flame scorches. The land before them is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them, it is like a desert wasteland—surely nothing will escape them.

    Their appearance is like that of horses,
    and they gallop like swift steeds. With a sound like that of chariots they bound over the mountaintops, like the crackling of fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army deployed for battle.

    Nations writhe in horror before them;
    every face turns pale. They charge like mighty men; they scale the walls like men of war. Each one marches in formation, not swerving from the course. They do not jostle one another; each proceeds in his path.

    They burst through the defenses, never breaking ranks. They storm the city; they run along the wall; they climb into houses, entering through windows like thieves. Before them the earth quakes; the heavens tremble. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars lose their brightness.

    The LORD raises His voice
    in the presence of His army. Indeed, His camp is very large, for mighty are those who obey His command. For the Day of the LORD is great and very dreadful. Who can endure it?"

  21. The response of Texas to meteorological events (freezing winters, wildfires) has shown to be very lacking.

    Texas is a state which emboldens the elite to skim money from budgets for their personal wealth rather than benefit the people. In other words…Texas is like Russia.

  22. Still a day of Winter left.
    Not even spring, and they have huge fires growing together.
    Looks like Karma is heading to Texas this year.
    Good luck.

  23. These people don't believe in climate change 🙄 gd for them

  24. These Teump supporters🇷🇺🐖 hate America‼️

  25. Texans🇷🇺🐖 laugh everytime California burns🔥.
    KARMA‼️

  26. AMERICA MUST FEAR GOD THEN FIRE WILL NOT CREEP ALL OVER THE STATE, GOD'S WRATH TO ATROCITIES

  27. Ted Cruz where are you your people need your help, TED TED TED

  28. Cruz – Cancun here I come.
