a diverse beast
A Fit In Daniel
A king of the south is Mohammed. His daughter is Fatimah. His commander(not prince) is Muawiyah the king of the north who gave us Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, a raiser of taxes, who placed the abomination that maketh desolate . The Dome of the Rock is now in the holy place spoken of by Jesus.

a significant color
A Red Sea
A "horse that was red". A "red dragon" with "seven heads" and "ten horns". A connection with Daniel. A connection with Babylon the Great. A location like the Black sea connected to the "black horse". The White Sea is not so interesting unless you consider the Mediterranean Sea AKA the white sea by the Turks.

a white sea
A White Horse
A bow not unlike the bow in Genesis 9:13. A covenant between God and man. The man with a bow in his hand was Constantine from the Mediterranean Sea AKA the white sea. He started a Christian empire where they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Color is the key to identifying the four horsemen.

a horse that was red
A Red Sea
A red dragon. "A great sword" to take peace from the earth. History records the two greatest threats to the Church have been Communism and Islam. One from the Black Sea and the other from the Red Sea. Mohammed is the rider of the red horse and Marx is the rider of the black horse.

a black horse
A Black Sea
A pair of balances. To each according to his needs. Sounds good but why would over a hundred million Christians have to die to bring this about. Ask Marx, the rider of the black horse, why "religion is the opium of the masses". Communism from the Black Sea is the greatest threat to the Church.

a pale sea
A Pale Horse
A rider named death. A sign of the times. Life expectancy declined in 2020. Somehow Covid will be blamed on climate change or Trump. Biden is increasing life expectancy everyday. Covid deaths are lowering it. Climate change is the real threat. What are you doing about it? Talking about it? Please don't scare the kids.

a new year
A Time To Start A New Life
A clean room. Clean your room. You have control over your room. That's about it. You also have control over how you treat the next person you come in contact with. Start there. You also have control over what you watch, listen to, and read. Watch what goes into your mouth but more importantly what comes out of it.

a fear of death
A Test Of Faith
A reason to believe. Liberty or death. That is the question. Life without liberty is not a good deal but comfort is all important except for those who believe there is something better waiting for them. We are being tested. The opium of the masses is promising but many have found an idol and will give up their freedom for it.

Every 'western developed wealthy democracy' (code words for America and our 'clones') is free.

What you and other extreme rightists mean by freedom and liberty is more akin to anarchism. Us liberals believe in freedom and liberty we just believe in at minimum a 'night watchman' regime, while you far(thest) right people believe in government by insurance companies (the logical end of anarchism properly applied in a 'nursery' environment where it is protected until it develops).

We'd rather have elections, frankly. That's why we liberals are democrats, in that we hold elections (democracy). There's no government in anarchism so of course there's nothing to vote about, so there are no elections, so you're not democrats. You don't believe in democracy.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch.

That's absolute democracy, yes. 'Democracy' is shorthand for 'liberal democracy', where the liberal institutions prevail; separation of powers (independent judiciary), constitutionalism, rule of law, civilian control of the military.

That sounds wonderful... but in reality is it completely corrupt.

Separation of powers has allowed for the growth of corruption in each separate branch, each of which is supposed to be self-regulating.

I would like to see some sort of source that supports your claim that corruption is particularly a problem in the western democracies like the US, Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, Australia, NZ, Canada, UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Scandanavia, Netherlands; and that it's not more particularly a problem in countries without the liberal institutions like the separation of powers, like Russia, China, Vietnam, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran. North Korea? And all the other countries where they don't have the separation of powers, just for one, of their missing liberal institutions.

The western democracies (the US plus all the copies of the US) are the most free from corruption among all the world's countries.

What a lot of words you wrote after that!

And none of them were "my claim"

 

[Idolater]

Your post indicated that corruption overall is a problem where there's separation of powers. I answered that notion directly. There is not that problem. And I further addressed that if there is the problem that you claim is occurring, then it must be that this problem is much less severe of a problem than you're indicating, where you're arguing against the separation of powers. Your alternative, where there is no separation of powers, is in fact where all the most severe cases of corruption occurs, not where there is separation of powers.

Am I misunderstanding your point?

I made NO SUCH CLAIM.

Yes, they are the best and they are STILL HORRIBLE.

 

[Idolater]

If you boys didn't want to talk about corruption why did you bring it up.

 

[ok doser]

That was enough

 

[Idolater]

That was enough

It was enough to get me to respond to your claim, suggestion, implication, accusation that the separation of powers is more responsible for corruption than other more unitary political situations. Yes.
