Halloween 2025: More Thoughts on the Apocalypse

Halloween 2025: More Thoughts on the Apocalypse


October 31st Halloween 2025 is two weeks away, followed by All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. I am a Christian Baptists and we did not have much to do with anything at this time of year. As an undergraduate Philosophy major I had courses in Philosophy of Religion and participated in various Inter-Faith Dialogue Conferences. It was not until my later undergraduate college years at Virginia tech that I became intrigued with the history and religious significance of this transition to shorter days and longer nights. Afterwards, I spent an entire year reading the King James Study Bible authorized by Liberty University. I then spent an additional two years of personal research on the Apocalypse. I researched the Apocalypse using a three-pronged approach: 1. Philosophy of Religion, 2. Comparative Religion, and 3. with a practical disaster-preparedness perspective. I am currently researching how modern technology can help facilitate inter-faith dialogue and I am trying to find funding for a formal graduate online degree program.


We are now 18 days into the budget government shutdown in Washington D.C., and with the ongoing tariff and trade-war, my research into the Apocalypse seems even more relevant. The over-arching themes of most apocalyptic prophecies and stories include catastrophic wars, famine, and disease pandemics that ends entire civilizations, or brings about the end of the world, and in some instance, ends time itself. In most instances there is a battle between the forces of ultimate-good and ultimate-evil, that usually includes a savior, such as Jesus Christ. 


I am a Microsoft Certified Windows Programmer. Most of my PC work meets or exceeds U.S. Government / Military standards. Windows PC’s and laptops were deemed Essential Devices during the recent global pandemic crisis. I strongly recommend everyone upgrade to a Windows 11 PC, now that Windows 10 has reached end-of-service and the O.S. is no longer supported by Microsoft. Personally, I prefer HP machines. HP Windows PC’s are usually less expensive than competitors, and are the easiest for maintenance and upgrades, but there are many good PC manufacturers.


Folks, a felony conviction of any kind severely limits a person’s ability to obtain a professional license or professional certification. With a government shutdown, a possible economic recession, and cops and judges using Qualified Immunity to “target” innocent citizens, it is very easy to get a criminal charge of some kind. I do not have anything on my record that would prevent me from obtaining any kind of professional license, including membership into the State Bar. Rightly or wrongly, a felony conviction of any kind can be devastating to any professional license or career. If you do any Halloween 2025 celebrations I hope you have a fun, safe, and frightful time, but be sure not to pick up a felony conviction. HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2025!

Sic Semper Tyrannis

Image
 Sic Semper Tyrannis The Seal of Virginia Tech, my alma mater, prominently features an obverse of Virtue defeating Tyranny. The standing allegorical female figure of Virtue is shown having vanquished Tyranny, symbolized by a fallen king at her feet. She has an exposed breast in the manner of classical depictions of Amazons. The scene is adopted from the Flag and Seal of the State of Virginia that has its origins in the American Revolution of 1776. The motto shown on the seal, Sic Semper Tyrannis, means "Thus always to tyrants." It is only slightly ironic that Virginia is named after Queen Elizabeth I of England, who was known as the Virgin Queen because she never married. During ancient classical times of Greece and Rome Tyrants were political leaders who seized power by illegal means, but usually enjoyed widespread support among the masses. The poor and middle-classes of ancient Greece and Rome preferred Tyrants to the ruling monarchs or aristocracy. Nevertheless, by late an...

Science, Technology, and Society Studies

 Science, Technology, and Society Studies A popular, and growing, field of study is in the area of Science, Technology, and Society, or STS for short. STS examines the impact and effect of science and technology on individuals, groups, and in some instances, Nations and the Globe. Many of these various technologies are utilized on a global scale, and impacts many of the current 8.2 billion Earthly inhabitants. I am a Microsoft Certified Windows Programmer. Microsoft, a more than $3.5 trillion company, is considered by most to be the most valuable company on Earth. Microsoft has more than 1.6 billion active Windows Devices, worldwide. Today’s $2,000 Windows PC has 40X(times) the computing capability of an $8 million supercomputer of the late 1970’s. Microsoft is celebrating its 50th year of successful business this year, empowering individuals, schools, and businesses alike. Most of my PC work meets, or exceeds, U.S. Government / Military standards. Personal Computers are now essent...

Amazonian Warrior Women and Dwarf Armies

Image
 Amazonian Warrior Women and Dwarf Armies Most Westerners have heard of the Amazonian Warrior Women of ancient Greek legend and the stories of the Dwarf Armies in the Dungeons and Dragons and the Hobbit franchises. I submit to my followers and readers here on the internet that modern personal computers and related internet communications technologies can make these legends and stories a reality. I want to very clear. I am strongly against women, females, and anyone who cannot meet the rigorous physical standards of active duty military service serving in dangerous combat roles and being eligible for the military draft. Nevertheless, with the availability of online degrees in Military Science, and other online degrees, there are many ways individuals can support the war efforts, while not serving in combat roles.  Additionally, if the military draft is ever re-instituted an online degree in Military Science can help those in direct combat roles better serve his country and defe...
