This is incredible. Catholics and Protestants are quite literally marching shoulder to shoulder in Belfast, Northern Ireland as they demand an end to Mass Immigration.
When these two communities are putting their differences aside and coming together, you know you’ve messed up.
@LRoy3@MariamBarghouti Biblical scholar and pastor is pro war crimes that kill children.
You will answer before God for choosing a false religion over Christians.

From the book 'By Way of Deception' by former Mossad Agent Victor Ostrovsky:
"In the summer of 1983, this same informant told the Mossad about a large Mercedes truck that was being fitted by the Shi'ite Muslims with spaces that could hold bombs. He said it had even larger than usual spaces for this, so that whatever it was destined for was going to be a major target.
Now, the Mossad knew that, for size, there were only a few logical targets, one of which must be the U.S. compound. The question then was whether or not to warn the Americans to be on particular alert for a truck matching the description.
The decision was too important to be taken in the Beirut station, so it was passed along to Tel Aviv, where Admony, then head of Mossad, decided they would simply give the Americans the usual general warning, a vague notice that they had reason to believe someone might be planning an operation against them.
But this was so general, and so commonplace, it was like sending a weather report; unlikely to raise any particular alarm or prompt increased security precautions. In the six months following receipt of this information, for example, there were more than 100 general warnings of car-bomb attacks. One more would not heighten U.S. concerns or surveillance.
Admony, in refusing to give the Americans specific information on the truck, said, "No, we're not there to protect Americans. They're a big country. Send only the regular information."
At the same time, however, all Israeli installations were given the specific details and warned to watch for a truck matching the description of the Mercedes.
At 6.20 a.m. on October 23, 1983, a large Mercedes truck approached the Beirut airport, passing well within sight of Israeli sentries in their nearby base, going through a Lebanese army checkpoint, and turning left into the parking lot. A U.S. Marine guard reported with alarm that the truck was gathering speed, but before he could do anything, the truck roared toward the entrance of the four-story reinforced concrete Aviation Safety Building, used as headquarters for the Eighth Marine Battalion, crashing through a wrought-iron pate, hitting the sand-bagged guard post, smashing through another barrier, and ramming over a wall of sandbags into the lobby, exploding with such a terrific force that the building was instantly reduced to rubble.
A few minutes later, another truck smashed into the French paratroopers' headquarters at Bir Hason, a seafront residential neighborhood just two miles from the U.S. compound, hitting it with such an impact that it moved the entire building 30 feet and killed 58 soldiers.
The loss of 241 U.S. Marines, most of them still sleeping in their cots at the time of the suicide mission, was the highest single-day death toll for the Americans since 246 died throughout Vietnam at the start of the Tet offensive on January 13,1968.
Within days, the Israelis passed along to the CIA the names of 13 people who they said were connected to the bombing deaths of the U.S. Marines and French paratroopers, a list including Syrian intelligence, Iranians in Damascus, and Shi'ite Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah.
At Mossad headquarters, there was a sigh of relief that it wasn't us who got hit. It was seen as a small incident so far as the Mossad was concerned -- that we had stumbled over it and wouldn't tell anybody. The problem was if we had leaked information and it was traced back, our informant would have been killed. The next time, we wouldn't know if we were on the hit list.
The general attitude about the Americans was: "Hey, they wanted to stick their nose into this Lebanon thing, let them pay the price.""
@Totally_Brandon It’s interesting seeing this controversy the same day I finished the stone choir episode on race.
Finding joy in your people group and lamenting what is lost is being in tune with the Spirit.
Willingly counter signaling that does not come from God.
@ZyMazza In that case it would seem unlikely for the oral history to be important enough to be passed down across cultures if it happened that long ago.
Also dragons would have likely been far less impressive than the stories make them out as our weapons would have been rudimentary.
Holding my newborn weeping.
I want to feel like nothing changed at all for her sake.
Where do we begin, the rubble or our sin?
I think we begin at the sin of not taking care of our own and begin to rebuild the rubble from there.
GM! I made this video to encourage the brothers and remind them (especially on a day like this) that we will have our home again. God smiled down on us this Summer. May we thank Him for His mercies 🙏🏻.
@Chanand1erB0ng5 Post war consensus is the sorting question of our time. While we should remember the past, the ancient battles have already been fought.
We need warriors for current ones.
I followed Doug a while back because I thought he was going to be an important cultural zeitgeist in the American Christian movement.
Now he is getting dragged and ratioed because he wants the approval of the world over that of his race.
Spiritual Boomer moment.
Perhaps you have seen this pastiche tribute to White Boy Summer, one that ends in a bit of Nazi triumphalism. Frankly, the video ended better for them than the war did. 1/5

@SeedOilDsrspctr Why is the bottom an “or” question?
If you have both then why would you not do caramelized onions and mushrooms?
Stupid engagement farming.
