Can people hold on to their anger
against others, and then look for healing from the Lord?
Can they refuse to have mercy
on people like themselves,
and then pray about their own sins?
If they, who are just flesh,
hold on to anger,
who will secure pardon
for their own sins?
[ἄνθρωπος ἀνθρώπῳ συντηρεῖ ὀργήν,
καὶ παρὰ κυρίου ζητεῖ ἴασιν;
ἐπ᾽ ἄνθρωπον ὅμοιον αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔχει ἔλεος,
καὶ περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ δεῖται;
αὐτὸς σὰρξ ὢν διατηρεῖ μῆνιν,
τίς ἐξιλάσεται τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ;]The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)

A quotation from Salman Rushdie
At its most effective, the censor’s lie actually succeeds in replacing the artist’s truth. That which is censored is thought to have deserved censorship. Boat-rocking is deplored.
Salman Rushdie (b. 1947) Indian novelist
Speech (2012-05-06), Arthur Miller Freedom to Write Lecture, PEN World Voices Festival, New York CityMore about this quote: wist.info/rushdie-salman/85000…

Do not envy the sinner his success;
you do not know how that will end.

My word, how mortals take the gods to task!
All their afflictions come from us, we hear.
And what of their own failings? Greed and folly
double the suffering in the lot of man.

‘The CIA has been secretly training anti-Russian groups in Ukraine since 2015. Everything we know points to the likelihood that includes neo-Nazis inspiring far-right terrorists across the world.’ https://jacobin.com/2022/01/cia-neo-nazi-training-ukraine-russia-putin-biden-nato
Add put options before 9/11, so is it not time for the people to end the ‘big donors’ finance of diabolical evil? I suppose they could wait until all face the very executions they take no responsibility for; the terror of their assassinations and purges as if the magicians rabbits actually appear from nowhere! #JustDeserts #911PutOptions #WW3 #TerrorNova #EcocideEmpiresEnd #BigDonors

AGAMEMNON: Perhaps, for you, barbarians, it is easy to kill your guests but for us, Greeks, this is a thing of shame. How, then can I escape blame if I do not judge you guilty? I can’t do it. Since you could endure performing such a dishonourable deed, then you must also endure its awful consequences.
[ἈΓΑΜΈΜΝΩΝ: τάχ᾽ οὖν παρ᾽ ὑμῖν ῥᾴδιον ξενοκτονεῖν:
ἡμῖν δέ γ᾽ αἰσχρὸν τοῖσιν Ἕλλησιν τόδε.
πῶς οὖν σε κρίνας μὴ ἀδικεῖν φύγω ψόγον;
οὐκ ἂν δυναίμην. ἀλλ᾽ ἐπεὶ τὰ μὴ καλὰ
πράσσειν ἐτόλμας, τλῆθι καὶ τὰ μὴ φίλα.]Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist

…Some coverage has suggested that a deal involving #Trump’s social-media company, Truth Social, could provide him an infusion of #cash, but the practical size of that windfall may be overstated. Major shareholders are subject to a provision that prevents large sales of stocks for 6 months, though Trump could seek a waiver allowing him to sell more sooner.

Such existing #loans likely include covenants that prevent owners from subordinating them to other liens—which would effectively reduce how much #Trump can use the properties as collateral, says Jim Wheaton, a #law prof at William&Mary who has studied Trump’s #finances. In simple terms, if a building is worth $50M, & $30M of that is subject to another #loan, the covenant means the other $20M isn’t free & clear to use as #collateral.

Typically, a defendant who has substantial #assets but needs piles of #cash will obtain a #bond, rather than posting the #money themselves. Under such an arrangement, a bonding company effectively vouches for #Trump w/the court, guaranteeing that the money is available. If Trump wins his #appeal, he pays the bonding company only a fee. If he loses, he has to pay in full. But Trump seems to be struggling to obtain such a bond.
