@GeorgeNicholasK@PageauJonathan In the book “the first seven ecumenical councils”, by Leo Davis, the author recounts the antagonism between the Nicene bishops and the Arian bishops and the way in which the Nicenes treated the Eucharist of the Arians.
@2034_SWE And the government ID system that we have in place is not sufficient to verify citizenship or nationality. This is the next logical feature to add to government-regulated digital IDs. And we see how hard Elon is pushing for voter identification.
It is criminal that our government enabled a bat virus to infect and spread between humans. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a bigger betrayal of our species.
It is equally troubling that the mad scientists who did this then gaslit all the people of the world about it, including those who CORRECTLY interpreted the evidence.
Then, of course, the very same monsters amped up fear of the Covid frankenvirus and steered the panicked public away from safe medicines, and toward an obviously dangerous gene-therapy which they falsely called a vaccine in order to lure us into acceptance.
These are among the greatest crimes EVER committed against humanity. We now have persuasive evidence of everything I have said above.
If we don't correct the record and hold the perpetrators to account, this pattern will happen again, and again, and again--shortening our life expectancy, and degrading our quality of life each time that it does.
This is our Nuremberg moment. We can not simply move on from this ghastly chapter of history. We must finish it.

@BrianRoemmele I remember lying down in the bed of my parents’ Ford Bronco, across the molded plastic liner, watching the street lights go by as they drove.
Seemed safe enough to me!
Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.
This one quote sounded familiar.
@FrLillie “The Church fathers often disagreed with each other”
As if every group appealing to sola scriptura does not also disagree with one another?
@grok Which major and minor Christian denominations and movements appeal to the doctrine of Sola Scriptura?
@SpacedExplained@jhpadillaleal I love being tiny.
Beyond the smallest of the small there is no measure. Beyond the largest of the large there is no measure.
You are an egotistical, delusional, mid-wit. Look how you speak to a sovereign nation like Saudi (as if your opinion matters): “I expect … you will … if you refuse … it will have severe consequences … it will be sEeN bY hIsTOry as a major miscalculation”.
Big words, wow!!
Jewish/Israeli groups may openly cheer and boast that their money defeated a congressman, but YOU may not joke about it, because then you are an anti-Semite.
The policemen of thought and speech hated the beginning of Thomas Massie's concession speech.
He began by apologizing for being a little late: he had been trying to reach his opponent to concede the race but it was hard tracking him down in Tel Aviv.
Now if Chinese or Russian interests had poured tens of millions into someone's campaign, the very same people complaining about Massie would consider it a moral imperative to mock that money. Well, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, as they say.
I've seen so many influencers on X claiming that Massie lost because he wasn't a team player, didn't vote for the One Big Beautiful Bill, etc., and that it had nothing at all to do with the tens of millions from a foreign interest. (Then why did those people spend the tens of millions?)
But Marjorie Taylor Greene did vote for the OBBB, and that didn't save her. Meanwhile, Mike Lawler, who is a disaster on Trump's signature issue, immigration, had Trump out campaigning for him!
So no, I don't believe that nonsense because it doesn't fit reality.
John Podhoretz openly boasted that "Jewish money" defeated Massie. "We have to use what means there are at our disposal, and…that is Jewish money!"
Ha'aretz just reported that "pro-Israel spending" indeed "achieved its goal in Kentucky."
AIPAC boasted that it filled Massie and Greene's seats with complaint congressmen.
Video from the "Ed Gallrein" victory party showed about two dozen people there. Yeah, this whole thing sure was an organic and spontaneous expression of the will of the people!
Since it's now obvious to everyone that a foreign country has veto power over who may represent us, I think we losers should at least be allowed to joke about it, as a consolation. Surely our overlords can deign to permit us at least that much.
David Stockman, Ronald Reagan's director of the Office of Management and Budget, was even blunter than ol' Woods:
"In a peaceful, non-interventionist Republic, foreign countries would not spend tens of millions in one-off Congressional races because there would be no policy favors, fiscal lucre and military aids to lobby for. And AIPAC would not even exist, let alone be bragging about replacing the two greatest advocates of peace and liberty in the US Congress with two paid lackeys with their noses up the place in Bibi's anatomy where the sun don't shine. Bring the Empire Home. All of it."
The rule is: Jewish/Israeli groups may openly cheer and boast that their money defeated a congressman, but YOU may not joke about it, because then you are an anti-Semite
Get used to the rules, because there are going to be lots more of them
