    Is the Leviathan waking a good thing or a bad thing? It’s a biblical thing right? They seem to be critical of the secret world government’s strategy to freeze it to death with an artificial snow storm.

      These guys are so far out from mainstream that you can’t really know what the hell they’re thinking. That said, Leviathan isn’t actually an end times figure. It’s a sea monster mentioned in the Old Testament in various points. The most famous passage is Psalm 74, a song of praise to God, which contains a reference to Him saying Leviathan, which appears to be a metaphor for taming the waters of the Earth

      Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

      You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters[d] on the waters.

      You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

      You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams.

      Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.

      You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter.

      Some people believe that there is a reference to Leviathan in Revelation but it’s not direct. Anyway, these people aren’t following established Biblical lore, they’re totally brain melted from 24/7 conspiracy content on Facebook and YouTube.

    Sometimes I really fucking wish I was that dumb, like what a fucking cool and interesting little reality these people live in.

    These people have a lot of faith in the technology of the time. Not just weather machines but fukkin powerhouse freeze guns that can solidify somthing of this magnitude

      While at the same time, completely willing to ignore actual experts and scientists who tell them they’re wrong

      Not to mention, given the labels on that one map, they seem to think Google satellite view is, like, a live camera feed from space or something they just overlay roads and borders and stuff onto?

      And that it would mean anything at all for the map to just suddenly have a big snake in it unexpectedly…

      Yet too little faith in technology that somehow we’d have to create an entire winter storm with the technology instead of just directly freezing the target.

      If they could control it enough for that, they could undo the weather event.

        They probably figure making the storm.makes it easier to hide the truth whilst freezing the target means we can all see it’s frozen corpse… Nevermind that it would float after being frozen anyhow

    Those people who slept through science (i.e. discussions about geology) and social studies (including map reading) classes but rather waited for Saturday morning specials or kept awake at Sunday School.

    That’s where South America reaches for Antarctica. Famously known for being off the coast of Virginia and warm.
