In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas laid out one of the most charitable yet practical arguments concerning immigration that effectively shaped the West for almost 1,000 years.
1. Immigration must always be proportionate so that foreigners can properly assimilate into the culture and mode of worship of the state.
2. Citizenship – and associated rights – should only ever be granted after the third generation to preserve the culture, mode of worship, and constitution of the state.
3. The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens.
However, Aquinas ends with the sobering reminder that some peoples and states are incompatible with one another, and these must be held as "foes in perpetuity".
This is one of the most beloved paintings in America, and it puts its finger on something we all pass through, first as the child, and one day as the parent left behind...
The painting is Breaking Home Ties, by Norman Rockwell, on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1954. A father and his teenage son sit side by side on the running board of a battered farm truck, waiting at a railway stop. A single track runs along the bottom of the picture. A ticket pokes from the boy's pocket. His suitcase is stacked with schoolbooks and wears a "State U" pennant. The train is coming to carry him off to college, away from home, for the first time in his life.
Everything is in the way they sit.
The son sits upright, scrubbed and dressed in his best, eyes fixed on the horizon, on the track, on the future rushing toward him. He is already half gone. For him that train is the beginning of everything.
His father sits beside him in worn work clothes and scuffed boots, looking the other way, down the line, as if he cannot bear to watch it arrive. The same train means the opposite thing to him. For the son it is the start of a life. For the father it is the day the house grows quieter, the chair at the table sits empty, and the person he built his world around walks out into a life that no longer has him at its centre.
Look at his hands. He is holding two hats. His own battered one, and resting on top of it, his son's crisp new one, held carefully together, because it is the last small thing he can still do for the boy...
And then the dog, its head laid in the son's lap, gazing up, refusing to look away. Rockwell knew exactly what that was for: "The father couldn't show how he felt about the boy's leaving," he said. "The dog did."
It has moved people for 70 years because every leaving is a beginning for one person and an ending for another. The child steps out into the world, as they should. And someone stays behind, watching them go, and loving them enough to let them go anyway...
O depoimento de Anthony Fauci reacendeu um debate que nunca deveria ter sido encerrado. Milhões de pessoas ainda buscam respostas sobre as decisões tomadas durante a pandemia e o tratamento dado aos profissionais que defenderam posições diferentes.
Para muitos médicos, assim como eu, aquele período foi marcado por processos, censura e perseguições por defenderem aquilo que acreditavam ser o melhor para seus pacientes.
Como médica e cientista, defendi a utilização de medicamentos por entender que eles poderiam contribuir para o tratamento e a recuperação de vidas.
A pandemia deixou milhões de vítimas. Por isso, a sociedade merece conhecer todos os fatos com transparência. A verdade não deve ter prazo de validade.

Yüzlerce insana Korona aşısı yerine "tuzlu su çözeltisi" uygulayıp aşı kartı veren Amerikalı Dr. Kirk Moore hakkındaki tüm ağır federal suçlamalar resmen düşürüldü!
Dr. Kirk Moore gözyaşları arasında şunları söyledi: "Sadece doğru olanı yaptım! İnsanlara, vücutlarına neyin enjekte edildiğini bilmediğiniz bir durumda 'bilgilendirilmiş onam' veremezsiniz!"
İşte gerçek doktorluk, vicdanlı insanlık ve sarsılmaz mutlak adalet budur!
Korona dayatmalarının dünya çapında insan hayatını nasıl kararttığı göz önüne alındığında, bu tarihi beraat, küresel şebekeye vurulmuş adli bir tokattır.
Gerçek doktorlara, vicdanlı doktorlara selam olsun!
Milletin can sağlığını ve anayasal haklarını koruyan bu şanlı hukuki zafer vesikasını, doğrudan devletin zirvesinin ve fedakar halkımızın vicdanına sunuyorum
Centenas de bolsistas. Um deles, um barbeiro. Mais da metade tem ligação com a política. Tudo bancado por uma estatal do governo Lula.
Calma, que piora.
Ron Johnson confronts Dr. Fauci with a huge stack of papers, each one showing that ivermectin WORKS.
JOHNSON: "You said there's no evidence that ivermectin is helpful."
"On that exact same day... There was a website that was tracking the randomized controlled studies."
"Here they are showing 60, 70% efficacy of ivermectin. The same day you say there's no evidence. There was all kinds of evidence."
China emits as much CO2 in 16 days as Canada emits in an entire year. Australia's annual total takes China just 12 days to emit. Britain's takes barely 9 days.
Combined, Canada, Australia and the UK emit about 1.23 billion tonnes a year. China emits that much in roughly 37 days.
So, even if all three countries eliminated every tonne of CO2--closing every factory, power station and banning every gas vehicle--China would replace the entire annual reduction in little more than five weeks.
Yet, Western governments are deliberately making energy scarcer and more expensive, by dismantling dependable sources, restricting oil and gas exploration and loading industry with carbon taxes and net zero mandates.
Steel, chemicals, fertilizers, refining and manufacturing are driven overseas -- often to countries burning more coal. So the emissions do not disappear. Only the jobs, tax revenues and energy security do.
The West impoverishes itself.
China profits.
De acordo com este documento da DARPA (Agencia Americana que cuida de pesquisas e Projetos avançados de Defesa-Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ) datado de 13 de agosto de 2021, eles sabiam naquela época:
- A Covid veio de um laboratório
- Que as 'vacinas' de mRNA funcionavam "mal"
- Que a ivermectina funcionava (desde abril de 2020)
- Que a hidroxicloroquina funcionava (o mesmo)
A DARPA informou o Inspetor Geral, e todas as partes escolheram não dizer nada ao público sobre qualquer uma dessas coisas.
Deixe isso penetrar...
1 (UM) funcionário machucou o joelho no caminhão de lixo, então a Justiça do Trabalho mandou retirar o estribo de todos os caminhões. Agora os coletores tem que correr, sem descanso, durante todo o trajeto, que pode chegar a 60 km por expediente.
Esse país é um manicômio.
A regime militar foi para impedir que os comunistas chegassem ao poder. Eles não queriam implantar uma democracia, mas uma Ditadura do Proletariado. Os historiadores omitiram esse detalhe do povo. Pior! Os mesmos comunistas ANISTIADOS estão agora no poder, com o mesmo objetivo.
@AmandaR_Pessoa@AnnaMonteiroAn1 Eu sou ruiva, cresci ouvindo:
Enferrujada, passa bombril nessa guria, ela é falsa branca ( pq ruivos tem cabelos cacheados).
Quem mais fazia isso comigo era a empregada da minha avó, uma Índia que era macumbeira.
