the predators gain traction and the killing begins, it progresses for a time, [4 years in Americas cyclical turnaround]

the killing and hate of life lasts for 4 years, the economy tanks and we slowly crawl out of the recession or depression with a PROGRESSIVE government that loves life and the vulnerable are taken care of again, after the killing time is rejected as destroying peoples standard of living.

Russia has been in a killing time since 1999 when predator Putin came in, the economy is smaller than Italys economy as a result.

America has been thru 3 killing times, Bush II and Trump I & II. Then Biden and Obama went back to respect for life and the economy started to grow again. If we don't get a Progressive government by mid terms the economy will totally tank in the Trumpist killing time.

“President Donald Trump hates the press perhaps as much as he loves it. Since his 2015 embrace of electoral politics, though, his lifelong craving for headlines has been at odds with adversarial journalism that holds him to account. Thus, he attacks the press as the “enemy of the people,” insults journalists and even incites violence against them. Now, in his second term, his attacks have multiplied, not only on news outlets that report his abuses of power, but on the very existence of a free press…" [continued in Podcast below]

AI Overview

 The story of Pope Joan is a medieval legend about a woman who allegedly disguised herself as a man to become pope. 

The legend claims she reigned for a short period in the 9th century, disguised as a man named John VIII. While widely believed for centuries, most scholars now consider it to be fictional. 

Here's a more detailed look at the story: 

The Legend: Pope Joan is said to have been born in England, and later studied in Athens.  She disguised herself as a man to study theology and entered the clergy.  She rose through the ranks and was eventually elected pope, supposedly under the name John VIII.  

The legend claims she was discovered to be a woman when she gave birth during a public procession in Rome.  Some accounts suggest she died from complications during childbirth or was executed.  

The story led to the tradition of popes being checked for testicles during their coronation, 

although this practice is not taken seriously by most historians.  

Historical Significance: The story first appeared in chronicles in the 13th century and gained popularity in Europe.  It was a topic of debate during the Reformation, with figures like Martin Luther using the story to criticize Catholic doctrine.  The legend was eventually dismissed by historians, who view it as a fabricated story that may have originated as satire.  

Despite its fictional nature, the legend of Pope Joan continues to intrigue and spark discussion about gender and power in the church.
