”But there were even nobler justifications than these: what was happening in Russia was nothing more than a continuation of all that had happened in eighteenth and nineteenth century Europe, a repetition of the general transition from liberalism to socialism.

This tendency of ideas to continue on their natural course made people admire them. And so all the aggressive elements, all the influential elements in society - and this was especially the case in Britain - admired what they called the ”unprecedented progressive experiment taking place in the U.S.S.R.”,while we were being strangled by the cancerous tentacles of the Gulag Archipelago, while millions of hard-working peasants were being sent to die in Siberia in mid-winter.

Not very far from where you live, in the Ukraine and in the Kuban, some 6 million peasants, including children, old men and women, died of famine, swollen with hunger and wriching in agony - and this was in peacetime.

Not a single Western newspaper printed photographs or reports of the famine; indeed, your great wit George Bernard Shaw even denied its existence. ”Famine in Russia?” he said. ”I've never dined so well or so sumptuously as when I crossed the Soviet border.”

For whole decades your rulers, your members of Parliament, your spokesmen, your journalists, your writers, your leading thinkers managed to ignore the 15-million-strong Gulag Archipelago! Up to thirty books on the Gulag were published in Europe before mine and hardly one of them was even noticed.”

The 9th Circuit has decided the ‘Covid Vaccine’ is NOT A VACCINE. Plaintiffs can now use this as cases go forward.

Buckle up, Pfizer and Moderna. You’re guilty of Mass Murder.

The Incarnation and Pentecost together confirm the spiritual character of flesh and blood. The Cross and the Resurrection bring eternal life out of present sin and death.

The ‘secular’ society is not a neutral area into which we can project the Christian message. It is an area already occupied by other gods. We have a battle on our hands. We are dealing with principalities and powers.

[Lesslie Newbigin @LesslieNewbigin]

Mission is an acted out doxology. That is its deepest secret. Its purpose is that God may be glorified.

[Lesslie Newbigin @LesslieNewbigin]

Believers participate in Christ’s priesthood, not within the walls of the church, but in the daily business of the world.

[Lesslie Newbigin @LesslieNewbigin]

The relativism which is not willing to speak about truth but only about ‘what is true for me’ is an evasion of the serious business of living. It is the mark of a tragic loss of nerve in our contemporary culture. It is a preliminary symptom of death.

.@POTUS asked me to lead our diplomatic work with Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. To address the situation at the southern border, we have to address the root causes of migration. It won’t be easy work—but it's necessary.

The media is denying she was ever the border czar. Share this wide and far.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true. But many other things are believed simply because they have been asserted repeatedly—and repetition has been accepted as a substitute for evidence.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

It is self-destructive for any society to create a situation where a baby who is born into the world today automatically has pre-existing grievances against another baby born at the same time, because of what their ancestors did centuries ago. It is hard enough to solve our own problems, without trying to solve our ancestors’ problems.

If you want to see the poor remain poor, generation after generation, just keep the standards low in their schools and make excuses for their academic shortcomings and personal misbehavior. But please don't congratulate yourself on your compassion.
