[@rayjasmantas9609]

Possibly a first for life, some comfort thoughts everyone confuses in life to understanding. Jesus didn't allow himself to die to save us from sinning, but he is actually showing this is a safety precaution for allowing to understand what someone/something goes through each time they are tried to be harmed. This is while attempting to stay good/honest and DEFENSIVE against the criminal act(s) trying to control them. Again, Jesus wanted to show someone honest has a defense against being hurt permanently if it happens, they are not committing crime, as they are trying to defend life's honestly by being stubborn. In other words, Jesus is emphasizing before anyone in LIFE got a chance to do anything, God did created a double of you, a shield in your place, to protect you for life, or if bad, to record in life evidence of what happened. In other words, God is not taking sides or anything else, he just waiting it out while allowing you to stay completely private forever, unless wanting to join activities with someone else. This is the secret weapon to building up knowledge of how someone bad is trying to build the ability to lie in their defense your alright. And with life being endless in every way, but hidden to cooperation, everything that existed before or are now just becoming new to life, real children, etc. - they need to know the creation is to protect everything in a extreme situation that is not natural and putting away the fear to not being able to complain about things that are trying to hurt. After all, hurt could have become permanent and hidden to everyone else, since there is no defense if you can't support your own movement. (The theory of God's last Judgement after everyone at once is attempted to be harmed at the same time; still isn't to much for life to build logical understanding in unity of what was happening that needs further evaluation.)

[@rayjasmantas9609]

In theory of life, everyone searches the Bible to what is the worst threat possible in writing, and what is the best comfort to known history in life to share with others. But this brought Jesus asking the meek to stay honest while the bad people(bad things too), to finish deciding they want to learn to harm. The few words Jesus actual shared with everyone, where everything else in the Bible, is in search of the limits.

[@rayjasmantas9609]

Remember, drug users naturally become muscle bond for some reason, which is also the theory of adding weight to obstruct others natural movements, something promoted maybe by holding their breath (straining) / chest, while allowing others to move around them to only a few moments later this person is allowed to relax again, but with relaxers control.

[@l.b.9567]

They were anticommunist and pro USA hence the tag right wing

[@renex_g3915]

Wrong about that. The chilean economy during the dictatorship was not centrally planned, in fact it was the contrary. The chilean military dictatorship is very famous because they, unlike all the other latin american regimes, searched for help from civilian economists to restore the economy that was in very bad shape after the years under the democratically-elect socialist goverment of Salvador Allende. The economists they reached for help were called the "Chicago Boys" who were chilean students from the University of Chicago, they learned there the principles of the brand new "Neo-liberalist tought" that was developed by none other than Nobel Prize in economics winner Milton Friedman. The Chicago boys liberalized the economy in a way never seen before, privatized enterprises, hospitals and schools. They created a private-led social security system, they reduced inflation drastically and build the foundation of the modern Chile that is the most succesful economy in South America.
