misconceptions about what was really going on with the &#8220;whole story of the colonization of the Americas.&#8221; One of the first things that has to be discombobulated is the identity of the people who were &#8220;doing the colonization.&#8221; This has to be done because the true identity of the culprits I believe has been obscured and hidden.  See, history is a lie, &#8220;agreed upon.&#8221; Napoleon said that, and I concur. History is written by those who are in charge, or in authority when &#8220;the writing is done.&#8221; </p><p>If the person or group likes peach pie, then history will be &#8220;all peace pie,&#8221; simply because those in authority, or the &#8220;victors,&#8221; write the fairy tale that supports their own nonsense. Think about that? When has &#8220;anyone in authority,&#8221; in the history of the civilized realm, ever commissioned a book detailing, &#8220;All of our crimes and dishonesty?&#8221; When has an official, &#8220;U.S. HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, VOLUME 1,&#8221; ever been published? Never, because that is not what &#8220;official history does.&#8221; It just doesn&#8217;t and it never will.  Therefore it is absurd, simple minded and naive to accept &#8220;official history&#8221; on its face. There always has to be questions.</p><p>One of the biggest questions, as aforementioned, is going to have to be, &#8220;Who really were the people that history books described to us, and what did they look like?&#8221; The history books paint a picture of &#8220;White&#8221; people rampaging across the Americas, enslaving people, and committing all sorts of atrocities. They did, but not in the way that &#8220;official history&#8221; wants the people to believe. It was brown folk too.</p><p>In order for people to comprehend this topic we have to go back to the 1500s. In the mid 1540s Hernando de Soto rampaged across what is now Louisiana, the South in general and the Carolinas. Hernando de Soto died in Louisiana of &#8220;arrow flu.&#8221; I have covered this previously, and how evil these &#8220;supposed White people&#8221; were.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;763a6c02-64a3-48e1-b162-f686a8d8cb26&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;In our tradition, the woman is the shot caller.

That is the default setting for most people. However it is a misleading view.</p><p>In 1491 the Moorish Empire, chocked full of Iberian NEGROS that were Christians, Muslims and Sephardi Jews, surrendered to the House of Aragon, or Spain. &#8220;Spain&#8221; then became under &#8220;White skin rule.&#8221; The entirety of the Moorish kingdom in &#8220;Spain&#8221; was a mixed race society with actual &#8220;White skinned&#8221; people in the minority, or in some areas entirely absent. When &#8220;Spain&#8221; took over, all people on the land had to covert of Catholicism or leave the kingdom. Many NEGRO MOORS and NEGRO JEWS, converted to Catholicism, and many &#8220;secretly practiced their faiths.&#8221;</p><p>So, a large portion of the &#8220;colonizers&#8221; from Spain were actually brown skinned people and not &#8220;Whites.&#8221; Yes, there were possibly some, but in large I believe not that many were present on voyages to the Americas. </p><p>One way that the true identity of people from the past is obscured is by &#8220;twisting it on paper.&#8221; I mean, taking someone from one racial designation and calling them something entirely else. This was, AND IS, done with Negro and brown skinned peoples. Jews, Hindus, South Asians and other Asians are termed to be, &#8220;White.&#8221; This is one way that the identity of people is obscured. My report is here:</p><h3><em>The Legal Classification of Sephardic Jews as &#8220;White&#8221; Under United States Racial Prerequisite Law (1790&#8211;1952), in Historical Context</em></h3><h3><em>Abstract</em></h3><p><em>This report examines the legal classification of Sephardic Jews under United States racial prerequisite statutes from 1790 to 1952 and situates that classification within the broader historical development of Sephardic Jewish identity from antiquity through the Iberian expulsion and diaspora. It argues that Sephardic Jews&#8212;descendants of Jewish communities rooted in the ancient Levant and long established in Iberia&#8212;were consistently treated as legally &#8220;white&#8221; under U.S. naturalization law, despite experiencing religious and ethnic discrimination. The report integrates historical background, genetic and anthropological context, judicial doctrine, census practice, and administrative precedent.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>I. Historical Origins of Sephardic Jews</em></h3><p><em>A. Ancient Levantine Roots</em></p><p><em>Sephardic Jews trace their ancestry to the ancient Israelite populations of the Levant (modern Israel/Palestine region). Following:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>The Babylonian exile (6th century BCE),</em></p></li><li><p><em>The Roman destruction of Jerusalem (70 CE),</em></p></li><li><p><em>The Bar Kokhba revolt (135 CE),</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Jewish diaspora communities spread throughout the Mediterranean basin.</em></p><p><em>Archaeological and epigraphic evidence confirms Jewish presence in Roman Hispania by the 3rd&#8211;4th centuries CE.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>B. Iberian Consolidation (Roman to Medieval Period)</em></p><p><em>For over a millennium (approximately 4th century CE&#8211;1492), Jewish communities flourished in Iberia:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Under Visigothic rule (with periods of persecution),</em></p></li><li><p><em>Under Islamic al-Andalus (8th&#8211;12th centuries), during which Jewish intellectual culture reached a high point,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Under Christian kingdoms during the Reconquista.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>This long Iberian residence produced cultural, linguistic (Ladino), and demographic integration with Mediterranean Europe.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>C. Expulsion and Diaspora (1492&#8211;1497)</em></p><p><em>The Alhambra Decree (1492) expelled unconverted Jews from Spain. Portugal followed with forced conversions in 1497.</em></p><p><em>Sephardic Jews dispersed to:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>The Ottoman Empire (Salonika, Istanbul),</em></p></li><li><p><em>North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia),</em></p></li><li><p><em>Italian states (Venice, Livorno),</em></p></li><li><p><em>The Netherlands (Amsterdam),</em></p></li><li><p><em>Eventually the Americas.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Despite dispersion, they retained:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Levantine core ancestry,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Iberian genetic admixture,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Mediterranean phenotypic characteristics.</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3><em>II. Anthropological and Genetic Context</em></h3><p><em>Modern population genetics consistently shows that Sephardic Jews:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Cluster with Eastern Mediterranean populations,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Overlap substantially with Southern Europeans,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Exhibit Levantine + Iberian ancestry components.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>They fall within the broader West Eurasian genetic continuum.</em></p><p><em>In 19th- and early 20th-century racial science terminology (now obsolete), such populations were classified within the &#8220;Caucasian&#8221; or &#8220;Caucasoid&#8221; grouping.</em></p><p><em>This classification is directly relevant to how U.S. courts interpreted &#8220;white.&#8221;</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>III. The Racial Prerequisite to Citizenship in U.S. Law</em></h3><p><em>A. Naturalization Act of 1790</em></p><p><em>The Act restricted naturalization to:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;free white persons.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><p><em>This racial prerequisite remained until 1952.</em></p><p><em>The statute did not define &#8220;white,&#8221; leaving interpretation to courts.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>IV. Judicial Construction of &#8220;White&#8221;</em></h3><p><em>A. Ozawa v. United States (1922)</em></p><p><em>The Court equated &#8220;white person&#8221; with &#8220;Caucasian race.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>B. United States v. Thind (1923)</em></p><p><em>The Court shifted to a &#8220;common understanding&#8221; test:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Whiteness depended on how the average American understood the term.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Anthropological classification alone was insufficient.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>After Thind, whiteness became a socio-legal category grounded in prevailing public perception.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>V. Sephardic Jews Under Racial Prerequisite Doctrine</em></h3><p><em>A. Absence of Exclusionary Litigation</em></p><p><em>Unlike:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Japanese applicants (Ozawa),</em></p></li><li><p><em>Indian applicants (Thind),</em></p></li><li><p><em>Chinese immigrants (Chinese Exclusion Act cases),</em></p></li></ul><p><em>there is no significant body of federal case law denying naturalization to Jews on racial grounds.</em></p><p><em>Sephardic Jews arriving from:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Ottoman Turkey,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Greece,</em></p></li><li><p><em>North Africa,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Western Europe,</em></p></li><li><p><em>The Caribbean,</em></p></li></ul><p><em>were generally processed as white applicants.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>B. Levantine Precedents Relevant to Sephardim</em></p><p><em>Cases involving Syrians and other Eastern Mediterranean immigrants are instructive:</em></p><p><em>In re Najour (1909)</em></p><p><em>Held Syrians to be white based on anthropological classification.</em></p><p><em>Dow v. United States (1915)</em></p><p><em>Affirmed that Syrians qualified as white under both scientific and common understanding standards.</em></p><p><em>Given that Sephardic Jews share Levantine ancestry and Mediterranean phenotype, these rulings reinforced their eligibility.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>VI. Census and Administrative Practice</em></h3><p><em>Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Jews were not classified as a separate race in the U.S. Census.</em></p></li><li><p><em>They were categorized by national origin but racially recorded as white.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Immigration authorities did not classify Jews as racially ineligible.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>This administrative practice confirms their legal treatment.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>VII. Anti-Miscegenation Statutes</em></h3><p><em>State anti-miscegenation laws prohibited marriage between whites and:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>&#8220;Negroes&#8221;</em></p></li><li><p><em>&#8220;Mongolians&#8221;</em></p></li><li><p><em>Native Americans</em></p></li></ul><p><em>There is no consistent pattern of Jews being treated as non-white under these statutes.</em></p><p><em>Jewish individuals, including Sephardim, were generally treated as white for marriage law purposes.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>VIII. Distinction Between Racial and Religious Discrimination</em></h3><p><em>Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews faced:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Social exclusion,</em></p></li><li><p><em>University quotas,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Housing covenants,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Employment discrimination.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>However, they were not:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Subject to racial segregation statutes like Jim Crow,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Barred from citizenship by racial exclusion,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Categorized as a separate race under federal law.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Thus, discrimination was religious and ethnic rather than codified racial ineligibility.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>IX. Iberian &#8220;Limpieza de Sangre&#8221; vs. American Race Law</em></h3><p><em>In Spain and Portugal:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Jews were excluded via lineage-based &#8220;purity of blood&#8221; statutes.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Classification centered on ancestry and religion, not pigmentation.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>In the United States:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Race was legally constructed through the white/non-white binary.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Sephardic Jews were placed on the white side of that binary.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>The mechanisms differed, but both systems relied on ancestry as a social boundary.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>X. Termination of the Racial Prerequisite</em></h3><p><em>The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 abolished racial eligibility requirements.</em></p><p><em>After 1952:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Citizenship no longer depended on racial classification.</em></p></li><li><p><em>The legal significance of whiteness in naturalization ended.</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3><em>XI. Conclusion</em></h3><p><em>The integrated historical and legal record supports the following findings:</em></p><ol><li><p><em>Sephardic Jews originate from ancient Levantine populations and were established in Iberia for over a millennium.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Their ancestry places them within the Mediterranean West Eurasian continuum.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Under 19th- and early 20th-century racial science, they were classified within the Caucasian category.</em></p></li><li><p><em>U.S. courts interpreting &#8220;free white persons&#8221; relied on anthropological and common-understanding standards.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Sephardic Jews were consistently treated as legally white under U.S. racial prerequisite law.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Although they faced discrimination, it was not implemented through racial ineligibility statutes.</em></p></li></ol><p><em>Accordingly:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>Under United States law between 1790 and 1952, Sephardic Jews were legally classified as white persons for purposes of naturalization and civil status, notwithstanding social and institutional discrimination.</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>Selected Authorities</em></h3><ul><li><p><em>Naturalization Act of 1790, 1 Stat. 103.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Ozawa v.

unsuspecting &#8220;official history readers.&#8221; The villain behind the curtain I believe is actually mixed race, and more often than not brown skinned with a &#8220;Messianic twist.&#8221; This

a distraction. A distraction and a psy-op that &#8220;White people&#8221; have bitten into willingly. Most White people just accept being a villain, and act accordingly, as scripted. I mean, being called something long enough incorporates that into the psyche. &#8220;They say I&#8217;m a devil so I&#8217;ll act like one,&#8221; they lament.</p><p>When the &#8220;few Christian Whites&#8221; took control of the Moorish kingdom in Spain, the majority of the population were established &#8220;brown folk&#8221; of the Islamic and Jewish faiths. Under the Moors, the Jews had free run of the society and played a major &#8220;merchant-financial&#8221; role. After the fall of the Moors the Jews did as well, except they had to have &#8220;riches,&#8221; and they had to &#8220;keep faith hush hush,&#8221; or they were expelled. Well to do Jews, who kept their faith clandestine, they enjoyed the same benefits that the Moors offered them while under Catholicism.</p><p>It was this group that I contend was behind the colonization of the Americans, to wit, &#8220;Brown skinned Moors and brown skinned Sephardi, along with a sprinkle of &#8220;lighter skins.&#8221; My report is here:</p><h3><em>Sephardic Jews, Conversos, and the Spanish Voyages of 1492: A Historical-Legal Report</em></h3><h3><em>Abstract</em></h3><p><em>This report examines the possible and documented involvement of Sephardic Jews and conversos (Jewish converts to Catholicism and their descendants) in the financing, administration, translation, and exploration initiatives surrounding Spain&#8217;s 1492 Atlantic ventures. It distinguishes documented facts from speculative claims and situates the issue within the context of the Alhambra Decree, the Spanish Inquisition, and late-medieval Iberian social structures.</em></p><h3><em>I. Historical Context: 1492 as a Dual Turning Point</em></h3><p><em>In 1492, Spain experienced two transformative events:</em></p><ol><li><p><em>The Alhambra Decree expelled practicing Jews from Castile and Aragon.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Christopher Columbus sailed west under the sponsorship of Ferdinand and Isabella.</em></p></li></ol><p><em>This coincidence has led historians to examine whether displaced Jews or conversos were connected to the voyage.</em></p><h3><em>II. Conversos in Late Medieval Spain</em></h3><p><em>By the late 15th century, conversos occupied significant roles in:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>royal finance</em></p></li><li><p><em>medicine</em></p></li><li><p><em>administration</em></p></li><li><p><em>diplomacy</em></p></li><li><p><em>trade</em></p></li><li><p><em>scholarship and translation</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Because overseas ventures required financing, multilingual skill, and commercial networks, conversos were structurally positioned to contribute.</em></p><h3><em>III. Specific Individuals and Historical Debates</em></h3><h3><em>A. Luis de Sant&#225;ngel (c. 1435&#8211;1498)</em></h3><p><em>Luis de Sant&#225;ngel was escribano de raci&#243;n (royal finance clerk) to Ferdinand II of Aragon.</em></p><p><em>He is widely credited with helping secure funding for Columbus&#8217;s first voyage by advancing or arranging substantial funds from the Crown of Aragon.</em></p><p><em>Key facts:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>He came from a converso family of Valencian origin.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Members of the Sant&#225;ngel family had been investigated by the Inquisition.</em></p></li><li><p><em>He received letters from Columbus describing the &#8220;discovery,&#8221; suggesting his central role.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Some historians argue Sant&#225;ngel&#8217;s intervention was decisive in overcoming financial objections.</em></p><h3><em>B. Gabriel S&#225;nchez</em></h3><p><em>Gabriel S&#225;nchez was treasurer of Aragon and another recipient of Columbus&#8217;s famous 1493 letter.</em></p><p><em>Key facts:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>He is often identified as having converso ancestry.</em></p></li><li><p><em>As treasurer, he played an administrative role in managing Crown finances.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>His receipt of Columbus&#8217;s correspondence indicates political and fiscal importance.</em></p><h3><em>C. Luis de Torres</em></h3><p><em>Luis de Torres accompanied Columbus on the first voyage.</em></p><p><em>He served as interpreter and reportedly knew:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Hebrew</em></p></li><li><p><em>Aramaic/possibly Chaldean</em></p></li><li><p><em>Arabic</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Key significance:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>He is widely believed to have been a converso.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Columbus expected to encounter Asian courts or Hebrew-speaking communities tied to biblical/geographic assumptions.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Torres was reportedly the first European to reside inland in Cuba during the expedition.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>His linguistic abilities strongly suggest the Crown relied on converso intellectual resources.</em></p><h3><em>D. Christopher Columbus (Crist&#243;bal Col&#243;n)</em></h3><p><em>The claim that Columbus himself was of converso or Sephardic ancestry is highly debated.</em></p><p><em>Arguments cited by proponents:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>He wrote some notes using Hebrew date conventions in certain documents.</em></p></li><li><p><em>He maintained relationships with known conversos.</em></p></li><li><p><em>He left on August 3, 1492, one day after the expulsion deadline.</em></p></li><li><p><em>His origins remain somewhat obscure and contested.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Counterarguments:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>No direct documentary proof establishes Jewish ancestry.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Mainstream scholarship generally identifies him as a Genoese Catholic.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Conclusion:<br>The theory remains speculative and unproven.</em></p><p><em>E. Rodrigo de Triana and Crew Speculations</em></p><p><em>Some have speculated that individual sailors or lower-ranking crewmen may have been conversos.</em></p><p><em>Evidence is limited and largely circumstantial.</em></p><p><em>No scholarly consensus supports the claim that large portions of the crews were conversos.</em></p><h3><em>IV. Conversos in Colonial Expansion</em></h3><p><em>Conversos later migrated disproportionately to:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>New Spain</em></p></li><li><p><em>Peru</em></p></li><li><p><em>the Caribbean</em></p></li><li><p><em>Portuguese Brazil</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Reasons included:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>economic opportunity</em></p></li><li><p><em>escape from scrutiny in Iberia</em></p></li><li><p><em>distance from Inquisition centers</em></p></li></ul><p><em>However, colonial inquisitorial tribunals later pursued crypto-Jews in the Americas.</em></p><h3><em>V. Legal and Social Constraints</em></h3><p><em>Despite their usefulness, conversos faced:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>limpieza de sangre restrictions</em></p></li><li><p><em>Inquisition surveillance</em></p></li><li><p><em>social suspicion</em></p></li><li><p><em>confiscation and prosecution</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Thus, their involvement in exploration occurred within a hostile legal regime.</em></p><h3><em>VI. Conclusion</em></h3><p><em>The strongest evidence supports the conclusion that conversos of Sephardic Jewish descent played notable roles in:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>financing</em></p></li><li><p><em>administration</em></p></li><li><p><em>translation</em></p></li><li><p><em>colonial commerce</em></p></li></ul><p><em>There is weaker evidence regarding large-scale participation as explorers or sailors. Some specific individuals were almost certainly conversos; others, like Columbus, remain subjects of debate.</em></p><h3><em>Specific Individuals and Historical Debates</em></h3><p><em>The evidence for Sephardic or converso involvement in the 1492 voyages is strongest in the areas of <strong>financing, administration, and translation</strong>, rather than among the ordinary sailors.</em></p><h3><em>A. <strong>Luis de Sant&#225;ngel (c. 1435&#8211;1498)</strong></em></h3><p><em>One of the most important documented converso figures connected to Columbus.</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Held the office of <strong>Escribano de Raci&#243;n</strong> (Keeper/Clerk of the Royal Household finances) for Ferdinand of Aragon.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Traditionally credited with helping arrange or advance funds for Columbus&#8217;s first voyage.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Came from a <strong>converso family</strong> in Valencia.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Members of the Sant&#225;ngel family had prior contact with the Inquisition.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Columbus addressed one of his earliest and most famous letters to Sant&#225;ngel after returning in 1493.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Historians often argue Sant&#225;ngel&#8217;s support was instrumental because the Crown&#8217;s treasury was strained after the Reconquista campaign against Granada.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>B. <strong>Gabriel S&#225;nchez</strong></em></h3><p><em>Another major fiscal official.</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Treasurer of Aragon.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Also received a version of Columbus&#8217;s 1493 letter.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Often described as having converso ancestry.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>This suggests conversos were embedded in the Crown&#8217;s financial machinery at the highest levels.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>C. <strong>Luis de Torres</strong></em></h3><p><em>Perhaps the clearest example of a converso directly participating in the voyage itself.</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Columbus&#8217;s interpreter on the first voyage.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Reportedly knew:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Hebrew</em></p></li><li><p><em>Aramaic / &#8220;Chaldean&#8221;</em></p></li><li><p><em>Arabic</em></p></li></ul></li></ul><p><em>He was likely chosen because Columbus believed he might encounter:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>the Great Khan&#8217;s court in Asia,</em></p></li><li><p><em>Semitic-speaking peoples,</em></p></li><li><p><em>or biblical/geographic populations mentioned in medieval cosmographies.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Torres is often described as a <strong>converso</strong> and may have been among the first Europeans to remain inland in Cuba.</em></p><p><em>His presence strongly indicates that Jewish or converso linguistic expertise was considered valuable.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>D. <strong>Christopher Columbus</strong> &#8212; The Converso Theory</em></h3><p><em>This is controversial.</em></p><p><em>Arguments used by proponents of a converso or Jewish ancestry theory:</em></p><ol><li><p><em>Some of his writings allegedly use <strong>Hebrew-style dating formulas</strong> or symbols.</em></p></li><li><p><em>He had close relationships with known conversos:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Sant&#225;ngel</em></p></li><li><p><em>S&#225;nchez</em></p></li><li><p><em>Torres</em></p></li></ul></li><li><p><em>He departed on <strong>August 3, 1492</strong>, immediately after the expulsion deadline.</em></p></li><li><p><em>His exact origins and native language remain debated.</em></p></li></ol><p><em>Counterarguments:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>No direct evidence proves Jewish ancestry.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Mainstream scholarship generally identifies him as a Genoese Catholic.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Many &#8220;Hebraic&#8221; clues may be overstated or misinterpreted.</em></p></li></ul><h3><em>Conclusion:</em></h3><blockquote><p><em>The claim that Columbus was a converso or of Sephardic ancestry remains speculative and unproven.</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>E. <strong>Rodrigo de Triana and Other Crewmen</strong></em></h3><p><em>Some fringe theories suggest more crew members may have been conversos.</em></p><p><em>Evidence is sparse.</em></p><p><em>The crews were mostly:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Andalusian or Castilian sailors,</em></p></li><li><p><em>mariners from Palos, Moguer, and surrounding ports.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>There is no strong evidence that &#8220;many&#8221; crew members were Sephardic or converso.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>Why This Matters Historically</em></h3><p><em>1492 was paradoxical:</em></p><p><em>Spain expelled openly practicing Jews while simultaneously relying on:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>converso financiers,</em></p></li><li><p><em>converso administrators,</em></p></li><li><p><em>converso translators,</em></p></li><li><p><em>and possibly converso merchants</em></p></li></ul><p><em>to launch imperial expansion.

See, I believe one of the reasons why this &#8220;story&#8221; has been told is to cloak the true identity of the culprits because &#8220;that would not fit the narrative.&#8221; The narrative has to be &#8220;Black and White,&#8221; and any deviation of that racial paradigm will &#8220;mess up the lies.&#8221; Think about that?

swindle, control, hoodwink and impoverish the public. This being accomplished by sundry mechanisms under the guise of &#8220;public safety,&#8221; public health, or public hazard. Each year &#8220;more codes,&#8221; statutes, regulations, ordinances and mandates are added to the plethora of other &#8220;stuff&#8221; that has already been adopted. Most of which restrict, tax, control, regulate or stifle activities that in previous generations were perfectly acceptable. Never mind, &#8220;ex-post facto,&#8221; prohibitions, it&#8217;s just &#8220;full steam ahead.&#8221; Usually these &#8220;things&#8221; come with a fee, fine, or other financial sanction for &#8220;non-compliance.&#8221; Usually they require funding.</p><p>What this type of society evidences, I believe, is a class of societal &#8220;overseers&#8221; lording over regular people in ways that are not necessary for the healthy progression of society. I mean, it appears that most, if not all of the annual &#8220;law making,&#8221; which is a misnomer, is actually part of an elaborate grift. As aforementioned, &#8220;Most of the &#8220;bills&#8221; passed require funding of some sort.&#8221; There is where one will find the grift. Anytime there is &#8220;funding,&#8221; there is a grift. Period. Think about that? Think about a regular person being able to vote himself or herself a nice fat check every week? Or the same person being able to vote for funding that they get a &#8220;kick back&#8221; from?  The game is rigged, like &#8220;insider trading privileges.&#8221;</p><p>It&#8217;s not about politics, or political parties, it&#8217;s about an &#8220;audience.&#8221; An audience of voters to watch what appears to be governance, and by their silence approve of it. That&#8217;s it. Once the audience approves of it, then within &#8220;that show&#8221; comes the mechanisms for funding grifts. Meanwhile, the people get &#8220;codified nooses on their movements and wallets.&#8221; Meaning, &#8220;escalating restrictions and financially fleeced.&#8221;</p><p>One land where this is evidenced currently is in the UK. The control state, or Nanny state is so strong over there that they even regulate whether or not people are &#8220;allowed&#8221; to smoke tobacco. This applies to adults, not children. </p><p>What is the big deal with tobacco? It&#8217;s medicine, and it has benefits that most people know nothing about. One benefit is the nicotine in tobacco counteracts most influenza type diseases, including Covid. In fact, the nicotine creates an environment in those who utilize it whereby respiratory function increases during exposure to pathogens. Our people have used it for thousands of years as a &#8220;sacred medicine.&#8221;</p><p><em>&#8220;Statistical surveys of COVID-19 patients indicate, against all common logic, that people who smoke are less prone to the infection and/or exhibit less severe respiratory symptoms than non-smokers. This suggests that nicotine may have some preventive or modulatory effect on the inflammatory response in the lungs. Because it is known that the response to, and resolution of the SARS-CoV-2 infection depends mainly on the lung macrophages, we discuss the recent scientific findings, which may explain why and how nicotine may modulate lung macrophage response during COVID-19 infection.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Studies and clinical observations of COVID-19 patients indicate that the main target of SARS-CoV-2, a positive-strand RNA virus causing COVID-19, are the lungs [<a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7836994/#bib0005">1</a>]. Nevertheless, the anecdotal observations, and, a relatively limited in scope, statistical surveys of COVID-19 positive patients in France and China suggest that the people who smoke are more often asymptomatic or exhibit less severe respiratory symptoms than the non-smokers who often develop an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [<a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7836994/#bib0010">2</a>]. These observations seem to contradict common sense because the impaired function of lungs (for example various degrees of emphysema) in smokers [<a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7836994/#bib0015">3</a>] should make them more, not less, vulnerable to the respiratory consequences of the virus attack.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;This would explain why the nicotine use may lessen or eliminate ARDS in the smoking COVID -19 patients. It also opens the possibility of the use of nicotine or other activators of cholinergic receptors as the therapeutic agents to fight the COVID19 and similar infections.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7836994/</em></p><p>Nicotine kills garden pests and nicotine also raises testosterone.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill passed through Parliament today and will make it illegal for anyone born after 2008 to buy tobacco from a shop. Ministers will also be able to bring in tighter regulations on vapes, tobacco, and other nicotine products. Both the Commons and Lords have approved a final draft of the legislation and it is set to become law once it gets royal assent.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;The bill is part of a series of reforms designed to combat the health effects of smoking, which is one of the top causes of preventable death, disability and ill health in the country. Other measures include an expansion of smoke-free laws making it illegal to vape in cars carrying children, outside schools and hospitals. Vaping outside hospitals will still be allowed as a way to support those trying to quit.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Pub gardens, beaches, private outdoor spaces and other outdoor hospitality spaces are also not included in the measures.

It really is not a puzzle why there has been such a push to rid the realm of tobacco. People who smoked were stronger, they had more &#8220;huff&#8221; and they were less likely to get sick from the &#8220;lab created&#8221; viruses and pestilence. The evil doers cannot have that. They want weak, sickly subjects and slaves. A sickly population of &#8220;putty people.&#8221; Easily molded.</p><p>Let&#8217;s be clear, if those in positions of authority were so concerned about public health and safety then why do they create most viruses in &#8220;gain of function labs?&#8221; Or why is there such a focus on weapons and wars? Think about that? Someone feigning concern and doing everything else the opposite?  It&#8217;s like the nurse wiping down the lethal injection site on a prisoner about to be executed with alcohol so that the person doesn&#8217;t get an infection. It&#8217;s meaningless. </p><p>Expect more. I mean, people have been groomed for this moment realm wide. There will be no cigarettes in the new reset, &#8220;so they say.&#8221; No manhood, or no womanhood, just a &#8220;reasonable facsimile&#8221; of such, and a population of people living lives narrowed down. At least that is what some &#8220;at the top&#8221; may want. Will they get it? Nope.</p><p>I don&#8217;t smoke, but if someone can knock the cigarette out of a persons mouth who does, that to me is a lot of control and a lot of nerve. Think about it? A complete stranger regulating what another adult person inhales. That is arrogance unbridled.</p><p>I don&#8217;t believe the people in the UK will go for it, and the social controllers know it, that is why they gave themselves &#8220;an out&#8221; if the people don&#8217;t go for it. People have been known to get wild over nicotine, especially when coupled with alcohol. The social controllers are crazy, but not that crazy. Cold turkey quitting has consequences. Imagine a whole nation cut off from smoking all at once? Imagine the chaos when alcohol and drugs are present, and no cigarettes, cigars, or pipe tobacco? That is a nightmare for society. That is why the &#8220;slow walk down&#8221; via legislation and rules.</p><p><em>&#8220;Pub gardens, beaches, private outdoor spaces and other outdoor hospitality spaces are also not included in the measures. Brits will still be able to smoke and vape inside their homes.&#8221;</em></p><p>Boil the frog slowly&#8230;.</p><p>Lord have Mercy</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing Invested.

home a point about having a stake or share in nothing, relevant to the society that we all domicile in. Part of having a stake or share in &#8220;the nation state&#8221; that one may domicile in is knowing how that nation state is supposed to function. In order for anyone to have a &#8220;true function&#8221; within a nation they have to comprehend &#8220;their duty to it.&#8221; I mean, if a population does not really know how a society should function &#8220;at it&#8217;s core,&#8221; they how can they safeguard or vouchsafe it&#8217;s function under a Republic form of rule? &#8220;Republic,&#8221; means, &#8220;of the People.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;&#8230;of the People,&#8221; means, &#8220;People who know how &#8220;the game goes.&#8221; People who participate, and &#8220;pocket watch&#8221; how revenue is generated and spent. People who know the three branches of government and their function. People who know the constitution, and recognize when it is being impeded, or violated. People who &#8220;play be the rules&#8221; as promulgated, and those who collaborate in the service of others.</p><p>Nope. None of that nonsense. The people of the states united want &#8220;Hollywood&#8221; patriotism and freedoms. They want &#8220;freedom on T.V., and as long as they have &#8220;freedom on T.V.&#8221; they will never aspire for it in &#8220;real life.&#8221; Even freedom of thought evades most, simply because most people don&#8217;t seek it. They are content being &#8220;focused&#8221; on an electronic screen.</p><p>The people of the states united, they want T-shirts, or &#8220;merch&#8221; with slogans, anthems and pledges. They want, &#8220;tough macho talk&#8221; to make them feel &#8220;Alpha,&#8221; and flip flops to stroll in. The people of the states united want &#8220;internet wins,&#8221; and &#8220;viral social media nothingness.&#8221; They also want to &#8220;watch others win,&#8221; while they flounder in cyclones of sloth and nothingness. Think about it? Everyone, &#8220;and their mamas,&#8221; are complaining about how the gloomy realm has become, and it is, but the majority of people just complain. That&#8217;s it. Most won&#8217;t lift a finger to work towards &#8220;anything.&#8221;</p><p>The people have been &#8220;groomed into a role&#8221; by society that  literally makes them into a Zombie. The Zombie has no mind and the Zombie moves really slow. The people of the states united are really slow in some areas. This is evidenced by the current situation facing the states united. I mean, what is happening is 100% caused by people who supported the lies, and those who tell them. Most people voted for them. I actually believe that in order to vote, anyone has to pass a &#8220;constitutional aptitude&#8221; test. Period, because, &#8220;A monkey can be trained to vote.&#8221;</p><p>People are voting for people who they know nothing about except what they saw or heard on a electronic screen. Think about that? Most people have never saw the person they voted for IN REAL LIFE. EVER. THINK ABOUT THAT? So, the bigger question would be, in the age of technology, &#8220;ARE THEY EVEN REAL?&#8221; I mean, I am sure that most people are in fact real, however it is possible to be hoodwinked by technology. People are supporting others that they never met in real life, and they are trusting them with &#8220;life changing powers.&#8221; Think about that?</p><p>That makes for a population that knows nothing about the &#8220;basics of society,&#8221; aside from what they saw on social media and television, and they are voting for people who they know nothing about. When this is added to the people being enamored with &#8220;the cults of personality,&#8221; then that makes for a &#8220;trifecta of nothingness.&#8221; Meaning, people who know nothing, voting for people they know nothing about, based simply because &#8220;they like their spiel.&#8221; The people fall for the &#8220;act.&#8221; It happens EVERY SINGLE TIME.</p><p>Since the people &#8220;still haven&#8217;t awakened,&#8221; those with dubious intent have decided to capitalize upon their slumber. Back in 2024 I tried to explain something that was very important. It was what I believed to have been the end to the Administrative state on this land. It was, and is. However, since most people don&#8217;t read, or know what happened they just &#8220;allowed&#8221; a whole &#8216;nother beast to rear its head where the other one was. I say, &#8220;allowed&#8221; because it is only by the people&#8217;s accepting and &#8220;playing along with it, that the Administrative state that is made possible. I covered this here:</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;9f610c91-2a1a-4df6-804e-17153d179481&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;While most people were spinning in cyclones of nothingness, something quite dynamic and exciting happened. Something that changes the entire realm of maritime fairy tales, and beaches it onto the land. Something that most people can&#8217;t even form the idea of, or how it helps free them from bondage.

In the stead of it being a &#8220;progressive administrative state,&#8221; it has become a conservative one. Again this made possible by those who participate in the system and allow it.</p><p><em>&#8220;The easiest way to misunderstand Justice Clarence Thomas&#8217;s recent <a href="https://manhattaninstituteny-my.sharepoint.com/personal/pbeston_manhattan_institute/Documents/Documents/CJ/as%20part%20of%20the%20celebration%20of%20the%20250th%20anniversary%20of%20the%20Declaration%20of%20Independence">speech</a> at the University of Texas is as a conventional swipe at contemporary progressives. His target was instead deeper and older: the capital-P Progressive challenge to the American Founding itself.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Appearing in Austin as part of a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas framed the issue as one of first principles. &#8220;The Constitution is the means of government,&#8221; he said, and &#8220;it is the Declaration that announces the ends of government.&#8221; Indeed, the American system is bigger than mere elections or policy outcomes. It&#8217;s defined by a moral claim about human equality and natural rights, and by a constitutional structure designed to secure them.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;<a href="https://www.rawstory.com/clarence-thomas-2676762870">Thomas&#8217;s critics</a> seem eager to collapse his argument into today&#8217;s partisan disputes. They miss the broader view of his speech, with its focus on the long intellectual revolt against the Declaration&#8217;s premises and the Constitution&#8217;s architecture. As Thomas put it, &#8220;At the beginning of the 20th century, a new set of first principles of government was introduced into the American mainstream.&#8221; Its leading apostle was Woodrow Wilson, and the movement was progressivism.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Since then, Thomas said, progressivism has &#8220;coexisted uneasily with the principles of the Declaration.&#8221; Because it&#8217;s opposed to those principles, &#8220;it is not possible for the two to coexist forever.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;The original Progressives really did reject the Founding&#8217;s understanding of liberty, rights, and constitutional structure. Wilson proposed more than modernizing technical improvements around the edges. He argued for a different theory of government, based on his study of German bureaucracy.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;That view dates back to his 1887 journal article &#8220;<a href="https://teachingamericanhistory.org/document/the-study-of-administration-2">The Study of Administration</a>,&#8221; where he insisted that &#8220;administration lies outside the proper sphere of politics,&#8221; and that &#8220;Administrative questions are not political questions.&#8221; He praised expert administration as distinct from ordinary constitutional politics and suggested that Montesquieu did not &#8220;say the last word&#8221; on the distribution of authority&#8212;meaning there was more to governance than checks and balances.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Thomas summarized the point bluntly. &#8220;Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence, and hence our form of government,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from the government.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;That gets to the heart of the matter: a dispute over the nature of rights, not merely whether the government should act here or there. If rights are granted only by positive law, then liberty becomes contingent and revocable&#8212;and ultimately political.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;And structure is where that dispute cashes out. The Progressives regarded separation of powers, federalism, and bicameralism as mere impediments to enlightened administration. The New Deal accelerated that tendency, consolidating policymaking and enforcement inside sprawling agencies that would&#8217;ve struck the Framers as a dangerous concentration of power.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Thomas was thus right to make an argument about regime-level principles. A country that forgets the Declaration&#8217;s account of man and government will not preserve the Constitution&#8217;s structure for long. Why bother, after all, with rival institutions, limited jurisdictions, and procedural friction if rights come from benevolent experts rather than from &#8220;the Laws of Nature and of Nature&#8217;s God?&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;That&#8217;s why the speech also matters given the increasingly fevered speculation over possible Supreme Court retirements. Justice Thomas turns 78 in June, while Justice Samuel Alito turned 76 earlier this month. Both men are at the top of their game, enjoying more influence than they&#8217;ve ever had&#8212;as the most senior associate justices, with Thomas set to become the longest-serving justice in history if he stays through May 2028. Neither has indicated a desire to leave and, while they&#8217;re aware of the crass political calculus, Republicans <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/latest-polls/senate">are still narrowly favored</a> to keep the Senate in this fall&#8217;s midterms.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;But the actuarial tables underscore what&#8217;s at stake. A hypothetical replacement needs to be not just smart, credentialed, and temperamentally suited for the high court. He or she needs to understand our constitutional order: that government exists to secure pre-political rights, and that constitutional structure is itself a guarantor of liberty. The late Justice Antonin Scalia <a href="https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/us-supreme-court-justices-discuss-first-amendment">captured</a> the point memorably: &#8220;Every tin horn dictator in the world today has a bill of rights. It isn&#8217;t the Bill of Rights that produces freedom. It&#8217;s the structure of government that prevents anybody from seizing all the power.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>Justice Thomas&#8217;s Austin speech was a reminder of that forgotten truth. The American Founding was a claim about human nature, political power, and the institutions needed to keep freedom alive. Any successor worthy of his seat should understand that, too.</em></p><p><em>https://www.city-journal.org/article/justice-clarence-thomas-speech-progressives</em></p><div id="youtube2-SiLRJAmwEME" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;SiLRJAmwEME&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SiLRJAmwEME?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>The first &#8216;investment&#8221; anyone can make that calls themselves a participant in society is to know how that society functions.

In each land, it appears that there is a small cadre of &#8220;insane people&#8221; who are &#8220;hell bent&#8221; on subjugating the masses of people in order to financially fleece them through the use of state power and force of arms. One such place where this is happening is Argentina.</p><p>Argentina has been on the radar since 2023. Why? Because it afforded a &#8220;clean test environment&#8221; to prove or disprove my theory about what Messianic fanaticism can do when left unbridled in people in positions of rule. At that time the new president of Argentina, a former Catholic,  made a public conversion to Messianic Zionism, and I knew at that time this would be a perfect opportunity to &#8220;get to the bottom&#8221; of what I believe to be a menace upon innocent people of the entire realm.</p><p>I also knew that there were some dubious &#8220;things&#8221; that were present that would make someone question, &#8220;What am I really seeing? One such thing is the similarity between the names of Argentina&#8217;s new president, and the &#8220;supervillain&#8221; of all things civilized, moral and upright. That being the prime minister of Isn&#8217;t-real.

I also knew that the &#8220;indigenous Argentinians&#8221; were going to &#8220;catch the blues.&#8221; Meaning, the historical deracination, land theft and oppression of them would accelerate, and continue in ways that only a devil could imagine. </p><p>Let the reader also note that after WW2 many Nazi war criminals, including Hitler according to Harry Cooper in his book, &#8220;Shark Hunters,&#8221; went to Argentina and set up shop. There already was, and is a large German population there. Argentina has always been &#8220;friendly to international criminals.&#8221;</p><p><em>This trial was an unusual one: it took place 97 years and 10 months after the Napalp&#237; massacre, but finally, the Argentine state recognized the brutal attack against the Qom and Moqoit Indigenous communities in 1924.</em></p><p><em>The massacre that occurred on July 19, 1924 was framed in what experts consider a systemic plan to eliminate and suppress Indigenous communities during the building of the modern nation of Argentina. Not much is known about the events of the massacre because, until recently, the state did not investigate or acknowledge the event.</em></p><p><em>The Napalp&#237; was one of the four <a href="https://cdsa.aacademica.org/000-061/603.pdf">Indigenous &#8220;reductions</a><a href="http://cdsa.aacademica.org/000-061/603.pdf">&#8220;</a> created by the state to discipline and control the communities that were defeated during the military invasion of the Chaco region. The term &#8220;reduction,&#8221; as these spaces were called, indicates their purpose: reducir means to narrow, to diminish. These lands were essentially concentration camps, similar to those created <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/concentration-camps-existed-long-before-Auschwitz-180967049/">by the Spanish</a> during the Cuban War of Independence. The Napalp&#237; community lived under a strict regime created in 1911, in which they were forced to work in cotton fields. Children did not go to school, and families could not leave the area.</em></p><p><em>Fernando Centeno, who was the Governor of the Chaco Region at the time, forbade Napalp&#237; inhabitants from using their earnings outside the reducci&#243;n and forced them to pay for the transportation of their harvests and even their work clothes. A few days before the massacre, the community organized to protest their unfair work conditions and demand better wages. In response, the government ordered the attacks that were carried out by the local police and the military, launching a vicious ambush by air and land and killing approximately 500 hundred Moqoit and Qom.</em></p><p><em>Recent investigations of the government archives from those years showed that the massacre was thoroughly coordinated and planned, with weeks of intelligence and coordination leading up to the events of July 19.</em></p><p><em>Reconstructing the story for the trial was difficult, given that no investigation was opened directly after the massacre and survivors&#8217; testimonies went unheard for almost a century. But, thanks to the efforts of their descendants, historians, and sociologists, and with the support of the current Chaco government, a truth trial was opened in April this year. The goal of the trial was not to condemn, since those directly responsible for the massacre are already dead, but to validate the voices of the Napalp&#237; communities and advocates and to recognize the crimes against humanity that were inflicted on their ancestors. In Argentina, a country that prides itself on being a pioneer in trials acknowledging its violent historyespecially related to the junta dictatorshipthe state owed the Indigenous communities the gesture of acknowledging their history.</em></p><p><em>Reconstructing the Massacre through Testimony</em></p><p><em>In her testimony, Rosa Grillo recalls how, on July 19, 1924, hundreds of men, women, and children were surrounded by land, attacked by air, and viciously murdered. Airplanes approached the area, throwing candy and food onto the land as a lure. Once people went out to pick up the food, the shooting started.</em></p><p><em>Grillo, a 114-year-old woman, is one of the very few living Napalp&#237; survivors. Her testimony that was shown in the trial was from a video shot in 2018 by Qom researcher <a href="https://www.telam.com.ar/notas/202204/590467-juan-chico-investigador-napalpi.html">Juan Chico</a> during his investigation of the massacre. Her story was key in helping the Napalp&#237; case reach trial.</em></p><p><em>&#8220;No one ever spoke about what happened until now,&#8221; she said. &#8220;[That day] was very sad, because they killed my father. My mother and grandfather ran into the woods, shouting for us to run, too.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>During the trial, historian Nicol&#225;s I&#241;igo Carrera explained the massacre in the context of the emergence of Argentina as a nation-state and its entry into the global market in 1880. The goal of forcing the Chaco communities into the reductions was to create a cheap workforce that would encourage businesses to settle in the region. The Centeno government, explained Carrera, viewed the Indigenous people as militant opponents. During the trials, he shared evidence from the archives, highlighting how authorities back then called the Indigenous communities &#8220;subversives,&#8221; the same classification that the military would use against militants in the 1970s.</em></p><p><em>Other testimonies used archival materials to argue that the attack had been thoroughly planned, showing how police and military forces had been sent nearby two days before. Proving this helped sustain the claim of the event as a crime against humanity, as later decreed by Judge Niremperger&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fiscales.gob.ar/lesa-humanidad/resistencia-el-juzgado-declaro-como-delitos-de-lesa-humanidad-en-el-marco-de-un-proceso-de-genocidio-a-los-hechos-perpetrados-en-la-masacre-de-napalpi/">judgement.</a> In her decision, she recognizes the responsibility of the Argentine state in the massacre and obliges the state to acknowledge it publicly.</em></p><p><em>https://nacla.org/after-100-years-argentina-acknowledges-napalpi-state-massacre-indigenous/</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

It appears that a &#8220;new deal&#8221; has been signed between Argentina and Isn&#8217;t-real.  Yep, and formal contract ceding control of that land under the guise of &#8220;everything else.&#8221; It&#8217;s just a modern treaty. A treaty between two colonizers that will result in the extinguishing of land rights for those with &#8220;birthrights.&#8221; The indigenous &#8220;Indians&#8221; of Argentina I mean.</p><p><em>The President of Argentina, Javier Milei, and the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, today announced the launching of the Isaac Accords.</em></p><p><em>The Isaac Accords constitute a new strategic framework aimed at strengthening cooperation between Argentina, Israel and like-minded partners in the Western Hemisphere, the descendants of Isaac and nations of the Judaeo-Christian tradition, in defense of freedom and democracy, and in the fight against terrorism, antisemitism, and drug trafficking. Participating countries will pursue concrete actions based on these principles.</em></p><p><em>Efforts will be directed toward enhancing coordination against terrorist organizations, with particular attention to Iran&#8217;s attempts to expand its terrorist networks and operational presence across the Western Hemisphere. The initiative also seeks to foster coordination and alignment in international forums and to promote a framework to expand cooperation in innovation, technology, trade and economic openness.</em></p><p><em>This initiative is inspired by the vision of US President Donald J. Trump&#8217;s Abraham Accords. The Isaac Accords were conceived by President Milei, who has emerged as a leading voice for freedom and hope in the region.</em></p><p><em>https://embassies.gov.il/vatican/en/news/israel-and-argentina-announce-launching-isaac-accords-19-april-2026</em></p><p>Now, in order to comprehend how phony this whole Messianic &#8220;thing&#8221; is, one has to only look at the facts. Supposedly the accords are named after Isaac in some sort of,  &#8220;<em>Judaeo-Christian tradition, in defense of freedom and democracy,&#8221; </em>right? Well that on it&#8217;s face is absurd and does not comport with THEIR OWN tradition. I will explain.</p><p>How are Abraham of the Abraham Accords, Isaac of the Isaac Accords, or even Jacob the defrauder, &#8220;HOW ARE THEY JUDAEO-CHRISTIAN?&#8221; How? This is a deliberate deception utilized to give<em> bona fidis</em> to something that is nonsense. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob cannot be Jews, nor can they be followers of Judaism. They cannot be because MOSES was not alive, and THE LAW had not come down yet to them. So how could they be practitioners of Judaism? There is no &#8220;J&#8221; in Hebrew either.</p><p>Abraham, Isaac and Jacob could not be Christians either, simply because The Injeel or Gospel had not come to the people and Jesus had not started his mission. Besides even then, Christianity would not come until 300 years after Jesus&#8217; departure. So, manifestly none of the aforementioned people were Christians. That would make the statement given in support of &#8220;the lie,&#8221; a compilation of &#8220;two more lies.&#8221;</p><p>So, like everything else connected to this &#8220;Messianic cult,&#8221; this too is a fabrication, fraud, lie, embellishment and does not comport with what they are &#8220;supposed to be believing.&#8221; Like with everything else the impostors are having free run, simply because people don&#8217;t know their religious traditions. If they did the fakes and phonies would have no quarter on the realm. They would get &#8220;laughed out the room&#8221; every time they show up &#8220;claiming more impossibilities.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Uh oh, here comes the kooks,&#8221; John laughs loudly, &#8220;they just can&#8217;t let that nonsense go, and it&#8217;s driving them insane.

President Milei&#8217;s vision for Isaac Accords is highly admirable, as is the practical support provided by The Genesis Prize Foundation and AFOIA. Israel has long been a beacon of innovation and resilience. The establishment of a Latin America&#8211;Israel alliance rooted in shared values and mutual benefit is long overdue. I am pleased to see the Isaac Accords initiative get off the ground and thank President Milei for setting an example for his neighbors in the region.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>Statement of the United States Regarding the Isaac Accords Initiative</em></p><p><em>&#8220;The potential Isaac Accords between Israel and Latin American nations offer an important vehicle for increasing mutually beneficial alignment and cooperation. Measures to increase channels for security cooperation, diplomatic coordination in international fora, and investment and education would be politically attractive and beneficial to both Israel and Latin America, seizing on the complementary advantages and capacities that these societies can bring to the table. The Issac Accords also stand to benefit the United States through the bolstering of its allies, support of hemispheric security and growth, combating the global rise of antisemitism, and advancing reform of increasingly radical and anti-American international organizations.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>https://www.isaacaccords.org/</em></p><p>There really is not much else to add, except that now in Argentina there are massive wildfires that are suspicious in nature.

small set of &#8220;triggers.&#8221; I mean, people have literally been trained I believe into selectively responding to certain triggers that push emotional buttons. Triggers that result in some sort of &#8220;collective outrage or collective acts.&#8221; Think about it? Most, if not all people IN REAL LIFE they are not outraged about too much of anything. How many people look outside their window and become outraged? What about preparing a meal, or taking a shower, &#8220;How many people are outraged by what they see or hear IN REAL LIFE? Not many.</p><p>People are however outraged by what they see and hear transmitted via an electronic screen and microphone. Think about that? IN REAL LIFE, things are decent, but IN FANTASY LAND, not so much. In fantasy land the sounds and observations are dark. They are so on purpose. Why? Because fantasy land is the land of those who manipulate &#8220;that space&#8221; through the use of dark arts, esoteric sciences, and actual &#8220;Magic.&#8221; Not stage Magic, but &#8220;techniques to fool perceptions.&#8221; In instant matters on the realm, &#8220;dark techniques to fool perceptions.</p><p>One of the biggest &#8220;triggers&#8221; that produces &#8220;realm outrage&#8221; is religious insensibility. The people of the realm don&#8217;t take kindly to attacking certain &#8220;religious archetypes.&#8221; The people also, by their &#8220;religious&#8221; inclinations, they make for a fertile supply of &#8220;programmable robots&#8221; that can be activated at will by those who manipulate energy.</p><p>For example, the photo above leads one to believe that there is a &#8220;certain allegiance&#8221; to &#8220;a certain religion.&#8221; That is a rational deduction based upon &#8220;what is observed,&#8221; and those who manipulate energy calculate that people will deduce exactly that. Even though IN REAL LIFE what has been presented, &#8220;is not true.&#8221; This is evidenced here:</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;4f5f9cc5-60c8-46d1-b91c-345f8d082fe9&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>Those who manipulate energy, and the stage Magician, they all use &#8220;stage props.&#8221; They have too. Why? It is the stage props that give legitimacy to the deception, and stage props divert the attention from the true nature of the Magicians tricks. The stage props have to be strong in &#8220;grabbing attention,&#8221; and therefore they are chosen with great care. Nothing carries a stronger &#8220;attention-trigger&#8221; in the states united than the bible. Anything promoted with a bible is immediately going to focus certain groups &#8220;right there.&#8221; They are going to see that and nothing else. Those who manipulate energy know this. History evidences individuals and groups hiding behind the bible while doing evil. One example being, &#8220;The Pilgrims.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The Fool reversed can also appear when you&#8217;re out of balance. You&#8217;re either leaping without looking at all or being paralyzed at the cliff&#8217;s edge.</em></p><p><em>This card reversed can suggest true foolishness rather than divine foolishness. Making choices without any thought to consequences, ignoring obvious red flags, or being naive about situations where wisdom and discernment are needed. The Fool reversed asks: Are you being impulsive in ways that aren&#8217;t serving you?</em></p><p><em>The Fool reversed often appears when fear is preventing you from beginning something new. You&#8217;re standing at the threshold of a new beginning, but terror keeps you frozen. You can see the opportunity, but you&#8217;re too afraid to take the leap. </em></p><p><em>Sometimes The Fool reversed warns of poor judgment or bad timing. You may be about to make a significant mistake, leap into something you&#8217;re not ready for, or begin something for the wrong reasons. This card reversed is a call for pause. Maybe this particular beginning isn&#8217;t right, even if the energy of new beginnings is.</em></p><p><em>The Fool reversed can point to irresponsibility. You might not honoring commitments, avoiding responsibilities, or acting in ways that create problems for yourself and others. While The Fool upright represents freedom, The Fool reversed reminds you that true freedom requires responsibility.</em></p><p><em>This card reversed may suggest feeling directionless or lost. You want to begin something new but have no idea what or where to start. The excitement of infinite possibility can quickly become overwhelming confusion. The Fool reversed asks you to trust that direction emerges through taking steps, not through waiting for complete clarity.</em></p><p><em>The Fool reversed can indicate missed opportunities because you hesitated too long, overthought too much, or let fear override faith. Opportunities for new beginnings came, but you watched them pass rather than seizing them.</em></p><p><em>In some cases, The Fool reversed suggests that you&#8217;re stuck in the past, or that you&#8217;re unable to release what was and embrace what could be. You&#8217;re carrying too much baggage (literal or metaphorical), and it&#8217;s preventing you from moving forward.</em></p><p><em>https://www.thealignedlife.co/fool-tarot-card-meaning/</em></p><p>Now, I personally don&#8217;t do tarot cards and &#8220;stuff&#8221; like that. I never have, however I have studied symbology and the role it plays in esoteric arts and sciences. It just so happens that &#8220;manipulators of energy&#8221; use some, if not all of the same symbology found on the tarot deck of cards. Knowing this is a necessity if one is to truly grasp the way energy is manipulated by those that practice such. </p><p>See, most of the general pubic, they are not practicing dark arts &#8220;that they are aware of.&#8221; I mean, most people don&#8217;t know dark arts, so they can&#8217;t know they may be doing them. Most dark arts are hidden in movies, music, and other societal &#8220;entertainments.&#8221; The people just &#8220;go along to get along&#8221; because that is how they were groomed. Society made it cool and fun to participate in &#8220;things of which people have no knowledge.&#8221; So the people do it as a custom or practice.</p><p>This is why The Magicians and The Fools have had such a easy, generational run. I mean, these same two archetypes have been here before. Nobody recognized them then, and they manifestly don&#8217;t recognize them now.</p><p>Lord have Mercy</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing New Under The

utilized in the past. I don&#8217;t believe there has ever been a period of time on this land that there has not been lies and propaganda being leveled against the people by those who wish to generate their consent. Ever. Think about it? How many falsehoods, omissions, or outright lies has the general public found out about over the generations that has been told to them by media, social media, politicians, and print media? I find it fascinating how the general public is so forgiving to the propaganda media apparatus, which is evidenced in the general public, &#8220;still listening to, observing and believing the tomfoolery.&#8221; The public even acts upon it.</p><p>Think about that? What other apparatus can overtly &#8220;twist and fabricate&#8221; nonsense? Nonsense that people &#8220;emotionally react to and act upon.&#8221; Think about that? If a lay person got on a Public Address system and spewed non-stop nonsense that was causing anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, violence, inter alia, apathy, psychosis, and delusional personality disorders, &#8220;What would happen to them?&#8221; That person would be declared a &#8220;public nuisance&#8221; and enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Quick, especially if the person was a Negro. Just being real. There will be &#8220;none of that in the states united.&#8221; Unless it is media and Messianic fanaticism.</p><p>Nobody enjoys the privileges that media does, except maybe Messianic fanatics. That &#8220;duad of delusion&#8221; has been unlawfully given rights and immunities that even <em>SUI JURIS</em> American Indians don&#8217;t have. At least according to them, but &#8220;under law,&#8221; not so much. </p><p>The media and the religious zealots in cahoots wield a lot of power. They can make people believe anything that fits their collective agenda. I say, &#8220;collective&#8221; because most media is owned by Messianic fanatics or their supporters I believe. These two groups can accomplish more combined than they ever could separately.</p><p>It has always been a lie. From the &#8220;stories and tales&#8221; told about the &#8220;American Revolution,&#8221; to the tales being told today. Same game for the same audience, to wit, &#8220;Give &#8216;em anthems, slogans, and pledges, and we&#8217;ll take the loot. They get theirs and we get ours.&#8221; It has always been that way. Since the American &#8220;Revolution.&#8221; The word, &#8220;Revolution&#8221; means, &#8220;to do over, or revolve around to the same starting point.&#8221; See.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;213a3265-a9a9-443a-88fa-de85ec447d10&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&#8220;Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.

F. PETTIGREW</em></p><p><em>The American people should know the truth about American public life. They have been lied to so much and hoodwinked so often that it would seem only fair for them to have at least one straight-from-the-shoulder statement concerning this government &#8220;of the people, by the people and for the people,&#8221; about whose inner workings the people know almost nothing.</em></p><p><em>The common people of the United States, like the same class of people in every other country, mean well, but they are ill-informed. Floundering about in their ignorance, they are tricked and robbed by those who have the inside information and who therefore know how to take advantage of every turn in the wheel of fortune. The people voted for Roosevelt because he talked of &#8220;trust-busting&#8221; at the same time that he was sanctioning the purchase of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company by the Steel Trust. They supported Wilson &#8220;because he kept us out of war&#8221; at the same time that Wilson was making preparations to enter the war. The rulers can negotiate &#8220;secret treaties&#8221; at home and abroad. The people, knowing nothing of either the theory or the practice of secret diplomacy, commit all sorts of follies for which they themselves must later foot the bill.</em></p><p><em>At the present moment the American people are being taught &#8220;Americanism&#8221; &#8212; taught by the same gentry who are making away with billions of dollars, sometimes &#8220;legally&#8221; and sometimes without any sanction in the law. The most prominent among the leaders of the Americanization campaign were the most prominent among war profiteers. They are the owners of resources and industries &#8212; the owners of America. It is from them that the preparedness agitation came in 1915 and 1916, and it is from them that the new preparedness agitation is coming now.</em></p><p><em>Here is a newspaper story in the New York Herald (November 7, 1920) which illustrates the point. The story, evidently inspired by the War Department, is; devoted to a description of certain big guns and certain new forms of tanks that the government is at the present time busy manufacturing. The country was caught napping once, says the writer, but the War Department is going to be sure that the same thing does not happen again. Therefore, it is building up its machinery now, while the country is still at peace. In this work the War Department is assisted &#8220;by some of the leading industrial spirits of the country, who are keeping up the same enthusiastic devotion to the service of their country they displayed, in the war. A little army of dollar-a-year men, headed by Benedict Crowell, former Assistant Secretary of War, has mobilized itself under the name of Army Ordnance Association and is giving its valuable time to the country without costing the government a single cent.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>Who are the members of this &#8220;little army&#8221; of patriots? The Herald gives the answer in full. Besides Mr. Crowell, there are, in the Army Ordnance Association, William Wheeler Coleman, president of the Bucyrus Company of Milwaukee, Wis. ; Charles Eliot Warren, past president of the American Bankers&#8217; Association; Ralph Crews, of the law firm of Sherman &amp; Sterling, New York City; Guy Eastman Tripp, chairman of the board of directors of the Westinghouse Company; Samuel McRoberts, of the National City Bank of New York; Waldo Calvin Bryant, president of the Bryant Electric Company; Frank Augustus Scott, former chairman of the War Industries Board; Robert P. Lamont, president of the American Steel Foundries of Chicago, and C. L. Harrison, of the First National Bank of Cincinnati.</em></p><p><em>What do these patriotic business men hope to gain by their devotion to the preparedness program of the War Department? The answer appears later in the same articles: &#8220;It is this desire to keep abreast of the world&#8217;s performances in ordnance that has prompted the War Department to ask for an increased appropriation next year. The department&#8217;s appropriation last year was $377,246,944. The estimates for this year call for an appropriation of approximately $814,000,000.&#8221; The difference, or $435,000,000, represents the value of contracts that will go to the business interests of the United States.</em></p><p><em>Again, bankers, lawyers, manufacturers and business men are going to save the country &#8212; not by keeping us out of war, but by getting ready for the next war. It is these men who dominate the life and thought as well as the industries . of these United States, and it is just such men that have been in control of the United States ever since I entered the Senate thirty years ago.</em></p><p><em>It is fifty years since I began to take an interest in public affairs. During those years I have been participating, more or less actively, in public life &#8212; first as a government surveyor, then as a member of the Legislature of Dakota; as a member of the House of Representatives and, finally, as a member of the United States Senate. Since 1880 I have known the important men in both the Republican and Democratic parties ; I have known the members of the diplomatic corps; I have known personally the last ten presidents of the United States, and I have known personally the leading business men who backed the political parties and who made and unmade the presidents. For half a century I have known public men and have been on the inside of business and politics. Through all of that time I have lived and worked with the rulers of America.</em></p><p><em>When I entered the arena of public affairs in 1870, the United States, with a population of thirty-eight millions, was just recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The economic life of the old slave-holding South lay in ruins. Even in the North, the Panic of 1873 swept over the business world, taking its toll in commercial failures and unemployment and an increase in the number of tenant farmers. The policy of sending carpet-bagging rascals into the embittered South hindered reconciliation, and sectional differences prevented any effective co-operation between the two portions of the country. The result was a heavy loss in productive power and in political position. Through this period, the United States was an inconsequential factor in international affairs.</em></p><p><em>The transformation from that day to this is complete. With three times the population; with sectionalism practically eliminated; with the South recovering economically and the economic power of the North vastly increased ; with more wealth than any other five nations of the world combined; with the credit of the world in her hands; with large undeveloped, or only slightly developed resources ; with a unified population and a new idea of world importance, the United States stands as probably the richest and most influential among the great nations.</em></p><p><em>I witnessed the momentous changes and participated in them. While they were occurring I saw something else that filled me with dread. I saw the government of the United States enter into a struggle with the trusts, the railroads and the banks, and I watched while the business forces won the contest. I saw the forms of republican government decay through disuse, and I saw them betrayed by the very men who were sworn to preserve and uphold them. I saw the empire of business, with its innumerable ramifications, grow up around and above the .structure of government. I watched the power over public affairs shift from the weakened structure of republican political machinery to the vigorous new business empire. Strong men who saw what was occurring no longer went into politics.</em></p><p><em>Instead, they entered the field of industry, and with them the seat of the government of the United States was shifted from Washington to Wall Street. With this shift, there disappeared from active public life those principles of republican government that I had learned to believe were the means of safeguarding liberty. After the authority over public affairs had been transferred to the men of business, I saw the machinery of business pass from the hands of individuals into the hands of corporations &#8212; artificial persons &#8212; created in the imagination of lawyers, and given efficacy by the sanction of the courts and of the law.</em></p><p><em>When I turned to the reading of American history, I discovered that these things had been going on from the beginnings of our government, that they had grown up with it, and were an essential part of its structure. From surprise and disgust I turned to analysis and reason and, for the past twenty years, I have been watching the public life of the United States with an understanding mind. For a long time I have known what was going on in the United States. Today I think that I know why it is going on.</em></p><p><em>When I look back over the half century that has passed since I first entered public life, I can hardly realize that the America, which I knew and believed in as a young man in the twenties, could have changed so completely in so short a time. Even when I know the reason for the change, it is hard to accept it as a reality.</em></p><p><em>Many of the public men who have lived and worked in the United States during the past century have written their impressions of public affairs. Bentpn, Elaine, Grant and Sherman discussed the public life of the middle of the last century. Since then, there have been many autobiographies and memoirs. I have read these books carefully, and it seems to me that not one of the writers is at the same time a student and a realist.</em></p><p><em>First of all, they have written about politics, with very little or no attention to the economic forces that were shaping politics. In the second place, too many of them have written the agreeable things and left the disagreeable ones unsaid. In the third place, they have written what they believed should have happened rather than what actually did happen. Fourth, and by far the most important, each of these men has written as a member of a ruling class, pleased with himself, and satisfied that rule by his class was the best thing for the community. The pictures that these men give are like the decisions of our courts &#8212; built of precedents rather than of realities.</em></p><p><em>It is my ambition to tell my fellow-countrymen what has happened during the half century that I have known public life. I know what went on, because saw it. I want others to have the same knowledge.</em></p><p><em>During my public career I have received very definite impressions, and I am anxious to pass those impressions on to others. I want to do this because I believe that my country is in danger; I believe that the liberties of the American people are already well-nigh destroyed; I believe that we are moving forward to a crisis of immense significance to the future of the American people, and the ideas and ideals for which the United States has stood before the world. We are; far along on the road to empire, and we are traveling faster towards that goal than any nation in history ever traveled.</em></p><p><em>It is with that purpose and in that spirit that I have written this book, and it is in that spirit that I ask them to consider and ponder what I have said there.</em></p><p><em>TRIUMPHANT PLUTOCRACY</em></p><p><em>The Story or American Public Life from 1870 to 1920</em></p><p><em>By R.

even notice. Low blood sugar, or high blood sugar, these thing can have a profound effect on the mental functioning of most people. It&#8217;s like that for those of us who drink coffee or tea. There is the &#8220;before personality&#8221; and the after one. The person before the morning cup is a different one than after. Not physically, but mentally and emotionally.  There is a form of comfort found in these type of things, and that comfort transmits via &#8220;a more cheerful spirit.&#8221; This because of the chemical reaction in the brain, and &#8220;the expectation of comfort&#8221; that the beverage, or for those who smoke, the cigarette or joint affords. </p><p>On the flip side of that is &#8220;not having nothing&#8221; to start the day off with. Think about that? Think about a &#8220;morning routine of nothing?&#8221; Think about awakening and not having anything positive to &#8220;pretend more about?&#8221; Think about that? What toll would that have on an individuals mental health? Now, couple that with a nutritional deficiency. What effect would that have on the mental sharpness or mental function in general? It would make the individual, I believe, mentally deficient, in cognition, rational deduction and general awareness. When this is co-joined with stress and long term exposure to such, the end result is catastrophic for the mind and body.</p><p><em>&#8220;A good nutritional status is important for maintaining normal body function and preventing or mitigating the dysfunction induced by internal or external factors. Nutritional deficiencies often result in impaired function, and, conversely, intakes at recommended levels can resume or further enhance body functions. An increasing number of studies are revealing that diet and nutrition are critical not only for physiology and body composition, but also have significant effects on mood and mental well-being. In particular, Western dietary habits have been the object of several research studies focusing on the relationship between nutrition and mental health. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge about the relationship between the intake of specific micro- and macronutrients, including eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, alpha-tocopherol, magnesium and folic acid, and mental health, with particular reference to their beneficial effect on stress, sleep disorders, anxiety, mild cognitive impairment, as well as on neuropsychiatric disorders, all significantly affecting the quality of life of an increasing number of people. Overall data support a positive role for the nutrients mentioned above in the preservation of normal brain function and mental well-being, also through the control of neuroinflammation, and encourage their integration in a well-balanced and varied diet, accompanied by a healthy lifestyle. This strategy is of particular importance when considering the global human aging and that the brain suffers significantly from the life-long impact of stress factors.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Mental health is an integral and essential component of human health, and an unhealthy lifestyle can be associated with a poor mental health.

How can this be? If this is in fact the truth, then it evidences something much more serious than &#8220;missed meals.&#8221; It represents, I believe, a profound &#8220;weak link&#8221; in what appears to be an already, &#8220;fragile chain.&#8221;</p><p><em>&#8220;The Nimitz class supercarrier USS Abraham Lincoln is currently the only aircraft carrier deployed in the Arabian Sea, and is facing serious challenges as sailors ensure shortages of high quality food and are served very limited portions. This is a result of the prolonged timeframe of operations and strained supply lines, with low rations widely assessed by U.S. analysts to be impacting morale. Families of the sailors onboard are reporting that they frequently go hungry, and the disruption of mail means they cannot send additional food or supplies. These shortages have also affected other warships in the region, including personnel on the amphibious assault USS Tripoli.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Commenting on the extent of shortages, the father of a Marine stationed on the USS Tripoli, Dan F, said he was alarmed after seeing a photo of her meal. &#8220;A lunch tray, two-thirds empty, carried one small scoop of shredded meat and a single folded tortilla,&#8221; he observed. An image from the USS Abraham Lincoln showed &#8220;a small handful of boiled carrots, a dry meat patty and a grey slab of processed meat.&#8221; The conflict against Iran has highlighted the serous limitations of the U.S. Armed Forces&#8217; ability to launch a sustained campaign against a capable adversary, despite Iran&#8217;s military capabilities being considerably more limited than those of other adversaries such as China and North Korea, and in spite of the respite which U.S. forces have been given by a ceasefire from April 8.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/us-navy-supercarrier-food-shortages</em></p><div id="youtube2-OG84AnO9Fvs" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;OG84AnO9Fvs&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/OG84AnO9Fvs?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Being someone who is cognizant of the seriousness of this revelation, I having researched this topic before.

Hungry people get reckless. There are many examples in military history where entire campaigns were halted because &#8220;they needed to eat.&#8221; Or needed to drink.</p><p>I have created a report utilizing a A.I. &#8220;language model&#8221; that has been tailored accordingly. That report is here:</p><h3><em>&#8220;An Army Marches on Its Stomach&#8221;: The Strategic and Logistical Significance of Napoleon Bonaparte&#8217;s Maxim</em></h3><h3><em>Abstract</em></h3><p><em>Napoleon Bonaparte&#8217;s assertion that &#8220;an army marches on its stomach&#8221; underscores the fundamental importance of logistics in military campaigns. This report examines the literal, strategic, and historical significance of the quote, emphasizing how sustenance, supply chains, and troop morale shape battlefield outcomes. Drawing on primary historical sources and modern military analyses, the report situates Napoleon&#8217;s insight within both 19th-century and contemporary understandings of warfare.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>1. Introduction</em></h3><p><em>Napoleon Bonaparte, one of history&#8217;s most renowned military strategists, famously remarked that &#8220;an army marches on its stomach&#8221; (Chandler, 1966, p. 301). While ostensibly a simple observation regarding the need for food, the statement reflects a deeper understanding of military logistics as a determinant of operational success. This report explores the multifaceted implications of this maxim and its enduring relevance in military theory.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>2. Literal Meaning</em></h3><p><em>At the most basic level, Napoleon emphasized the physical dependence of soldiers on adequate nutrition. Hunger compromises strength, stamina, and overall health, directly affecting combat effectiveness. Soldiers deprived of food are prone to fatigue, illness, and desertion, while well-fed troops maintain morale and cohesion (Esposito, 2010, p. 92). As Napoleon reportedly observed, &#8220;The art of war is to gain victory without the destruction of men, and nourishment is the first step in that art&#8221; (Connelly, 2012, p. 45).</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>3. Strategic Implications</em></h3><p><em>Napoleon&#8217;s maxim extends beyond mere sustenance to encompass the broader principles of military logistics:</em></p><ol><li><p><em>Supply Lines: An army&#8217;s success is contingent on reliable channels for delivering food, water, and equipment. Compromised supply lines often lead to operational failure.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Planning and Mobility: Campaigns require careful calculation of what forces can carry or procure along their route. Logistical miscalculations were a key factor in Napoleon&#8217;s disastrous Russian campaign of 1812 (Lieven, 2009, p. 213).</em></p></li><li><p><em>Morale and Cohesion: Well-fed troops are more motivated, disciplined, and less likely to succumb to attrition or mutiny (Roberts, 2014, p. 176).</em></p></li></ol><p><em>Napoleon&#8217;s emphasis on logistics reflects the adage often cited in modern military doctrine: &#8220;Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics&#8221; (Paret, 1986, p. 11).</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>4. Historical Case Studies</em></h3><p><em>Napoleon&#8217;s campaigns provide concrete examples of the principle in action:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Successes: During the Ulm Campaign of 1805, Napoleon&#8217;s meticulous supply planning allowed rapid maneuvering and decisive victories, demonstrating the synergy of logistics and strategy.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Failures: The 1812 invasion of Russia illustrated the consequences of logistical neglect. Extended supply lines, harsh winter conditions, and inadequate provisioning led to catastrophic losses, underscoring the literal truth of his maxim (Lieven, 2009, p. 214).</em></p></li></ul><p><em>These cases illustrate that logistics&#8212;and specifically nourishment&#8212;can dictate the outcomes of entire campaigns, regardless of troop skill or battlefield tactics.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>5. Contemporary Relevance</em></h3><p><em>The principle that &#8220;an army marches on its stomach&#8221; remains salient in modern military and organizational theory. Contemporary armed forces invest heavily in supply chain management and field logistics, recognizing that operational capability depends as much on sustenance and support as on strategy and weaponry (Esposito, 2010, p. 94). Metaphorically, the maxim extends to organizational management, emphasizing that meeting the basic needs of personnel is a prerequisite for performance and cohesion.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>6. Conclusion</em></h3><p><em>Napoleon&#8217;s observation encapsulates the centrality of logistics and nourishment in warfare. Beyond its literal meaning, it reflects a sophisticated understanding that strategic success is inseparable from the provision of basic needs. Historical campaigns, both triumphant and disastrous, affirm that the physical and moral well-being of troops is a decisive factor in military operations. Thus, the aphorism serves as both a practical and philosophical guide for commanders and leaders.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>References</em></h3><ul><li><p><em>Chandler, D. G. (1966).

If so, then it does not appear to be sufficient for grown men and women in a high stress environment. Yes, it will keep them alive, but it will not sustain proper mental and physical function at higher levels. It just can&#8217;t. Below is more analysis of this topic from another report that I refuse to publish. It&#8217;s too sobering.</p><p><em>2.1 Decreased Combat Effectiveness- &#8220;Adequate nutrition is directly correlated with soldier performance. Studies indicate that caloric deficits reduce physical endurance, cognitive function, and decision-making abilities. In a modern context, this could compromise mission success, impair coordination of technologically sophisticated systems, and increase the risk of operational failure. Historical evidence, including failures in supply-dependent campaigns such as the U.S. experience in the early stages of Afghanistan and Iraq, demonstrates that even advanced forces are vulnerable when sustenance is disrupted.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>2.2 Morale and Discipline- &#8220;Food shortages erode morale, cohesion, and discipline among troops. Modern military doctrine emphasizes that low morale can lead to increased incidences of insubordination, desertion, and mental health crises, all of which reduce unit effectiveness and increase vulnerability to legal and ethical breaches.&#8221;</em></p><div id="youtube2-MX-iD1xdCJw" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;MX-iD1xdCJw&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/MX-iD1xdCJw?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>When things happen to military service members, it does not only effect them, it also effects their family members, especially when they lose contact or are precluded from helping them. This lowers morale on both ends. The relatives at home become full of anxiety and they &#8220;lose interest&#8221; in the thing that they perceive is jeopardizing their loved ones. Those suffering directly do too as well. Nobody supports a club that can&#8217;t feed them. That is basic common sense, and a overt cause of demoralization.</p><p><em>&#8220;Relatives of American military personnel stationed in the Middle East are raising urgent concerns after their family members described going without adequate food on US naval vessels, with shrinking provisions being strictly rationed and a halt to postal services, leaving care packages stranded. The alarm was raised <a href="https://www.themirror.com/news/us-news/">when one Marine&#8217;s father</a> was sent a photograph of her meal served on the USS Tripoli - a lunch tray containing little more than a meager portion of shredded meat and a lone folded tortilla, the remainder of the tray largely bare.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Another image, <a href="https://www.themirror.com/news/world-news/breaking-clueless-trump-thanks-iran-1794785">reportedly from the USS Abraham Lincoln</a> and shared by a crew member with family stateside, showed an equally dismal meal: several boiled carrots, a dried-out meat patty and an unidentifiable gray piece of processed meat. The father, himself a Marine veteran who requested anonymity as Dan F. to protect his daughter from possible reprisal, stated that communication with her had been restricted to occasional messages when the vessel came within range of an internet connection. She informed him the crew had been stretching their servings - and that fresh provisions had completely disappeared from the ship.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;According to USA Today, eager to provide support, families have been putting together packages filled with homemade fudge, Jolly Ranchers, crossword puzzle books, playing cards, toothpaste, Girl Scout cookies, and fresh socks. But none of it is reaching its destination. Washington halted postal deliveries to 27 military ZIP codes in the region following the US and <a href="https://www.themirror.com/all-about/israel">Israel's</a> strikes on <a href="https://www.themirror.com/all-about/iran">Iran</a>, and military sources have confirmed no restart date has been scheduled despite a ceasefire.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Dan&#8217;s family sent two packages nearly a month ago. Both remain stuck somewhere in the postal system. The first was crammed with shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste and tampons after his daughter reported that hygiene supplies were dwindling, with every available space filled with candy and snacks. The second held Emergen-C vitamin C packets - she had developed a sore throat - alongside clean socks.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Dan, 63, quit coffee after learning the ship&#8217;s machine had malfunctioned. He wanted to share in whatever minor difficulty his daughter was enduring. &#8220;We have the strongest military in the world. You shouldn&#8217;t be running out of food, and you shouldn&#8217;t not be able to get mail on the ship,&#8221; he said.</em></p><p><em>&#8220;The one thing we had over our adversaries [was] we fed our people.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Morale going to be at an all-time low&#8217; A Texas mom whose son is stationed as a Navy sailor on the Tripoli said learning he was going hungry left her frantic. Her family has spent at least $2,000 on care packages - none of which have reached him. She agreed to speak with USA Today anonymously, worried about potential repercussions for her son. Text messages she provided to USA Today revealed a grim situation. The sailor described crew members snatching food whenever possible, sharing rations to ensure everyone got something when one person happened to get more. He messaged on March 11 that supplies &#8220;are going to get really low&#8221; and that no port stops were expected before the mission ended.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Morale is going to be at an all-time low,&#8221; he wrote.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-military-served-gray-object-amid-food-shortages-as-morale-at-all-time-low/ar-AA218yv9</em></p><p>Hungry people do crazy &#8220;stuff.&#8221; I mean, when people start to become nutrient deficient, and &#8220;stomach empty,&#8221; they flip. The military is not immune from this. It is my hopes that this is an anomaly, a &#8220;one off,&#8221; and not some sort of &#8220;custom or practice,&#8221; because I believe that a continued food deficit is capable of beating everyone involved like no field adversary ever could. It would be like  &#8220;positioning to losing outright&#8221; and not even knowing it.</p><p>&#8220;An army marches on its stomach,&#8221; and sails too.</p><p>Lord have Mercy</p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Math Ain't Mathing]]></title><description><![CDATA[Decades of Nothingness.

The stake I refer to is not a material one, because if that were the fact, then the &#8220;societal drop out&#8221; rate would, I believe, be much higher. That is not the reality, &#8220;Impoverished people still &#8220;cling&#8221; to the dream.&#8221; The &#8220;stake&#8221; I refer to is a &#8220;emotional-quasi-spiritual&#8221; stake. People have to be &#8220;on board emotionally with &#8220;the dream.&#8221; Most people aren&#8217;t, but they are too afraid to think or feel otherwise, at least outwardly for fear of being ostracized.</p><p>I believe that slowly people are awakening to some very sobering truths, and this is one of the main reasons why I believe people are losing their &#8220;emotional stake&#8221; in the societal game. </p><p>&#8220;Who you gonna believe? Me, or your lying eyes,&#8221; they snicker.  This being the mantra of those who manifestly have no shame about snookering, lying, deceiving, talking tough, hoodwinking, tricking, and grifting. It is not just one specific person, but a whole &#8220;generational cadre&#8221; of &#8220;flim flam&#8221; men and women, GRIFTERS, who saw a good horse, and they rode it. Over the generations, prior to the advent of the internet and social media, that kind of FRAUDULENT, miscreant behavior was well hidden  from the public,  and since it was those involved, &#8220;skated away clean.&#8221;</p><p>Not now. As I have said, ad nauseam, &#8220;THE INTERNET RUINED IT FOR EVIL DOERS.&#8221; Period. The internet shapes public opinion, ENERGY, realm wide in minutes. It &#8220;rings bells&#8221; that can never be un-rung. This means evil ones have to work extra hard &#8220;to keep up.&#8221; The aforementioned, &#8220;bells being rung&#8221; represents people making decisions independently that are severing the emotional &#8220;stake&#8221; that has kept them &#8220;nailed to nothingness.&#8221; The glue that holds the entire lie together.</p><p>The people at large hate being lied to. I mean, people will tolerate &#8220;stuff&#8221; like embellishments, but outright lies that have financial consequences, or ones that endanger innocents, those don&#8217;t really get accepted. People will accept a lie if their financial situation is solvent, and people will accept a lie that harms no one. People will not accept open lies but for a time when they are scuffling to earn their daily bread. That is just how it goes. There is not a &#8220;stake in anything&#8221; that tops a person&#8217;s impoverishment. People &#8220;check out quick&#8221; when the only thing that they have in their pockets is dryer lint.</p><p>The people of the states united, and the West in general have been lied to so much, and beat down emotionally so hard that even they, as mind washed as most are, have had enough of the simple minded games. Especially the ones that through their taxes they are expected to pay for. Especially the ones that have proven to be junk, both in Ukraine and Iran. Just saying.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;5f385a32-34cd-4e35-849d-78a238d2a742&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Junk belongs in the crusher, not in parades.

Lies and fraud make up the &#8220;bread and butter&#8221; of most, if not all civilizations. People just seem to gravitate towards that energy. So, when the people hear someone spewing lies, know with certitude that in the past a similar archetype character was doing the same with his or her people. Lies and positions of rule are part and parcel with one another.</p><div id="youtube2-gdsCLe13jUI" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;gdsCLe13jUI&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/gdsCLe13jUI?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>The states united really has not thought this &#8220;Iran war thing&#8221; thorough. Unless the plot if for &#8220;crash test dummy&#8221; like destruction. I mean, if the plan is &#8220;all or nothing,&#8221; or &#8220;riding &#8216;till the wheels fall off,&#8221; then that is what I appear to be seeing. One would think that &#8220;somewhere&#8221; there would be an &#8220;advisor,&#8221; sitting behind a desk, smoking a cigarette with his feet kicked up on the desk saying, &#8220;You do know the Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians, and Russians have been producing munitions since the 1960s, and drones, along with missiles the whole time we were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan? That&#8217;s why I told you 4 years ago, &#8220;Don&#8217;t give it all away to Ukraine.&#8221; </p><div id="youtube2-8OcLC85QaXw" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;8OcLC85QaXw&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/8OcLC85QaXw?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>The states united is supposedly low on munitions and missiles now. That evidences a profound lapse in forethought, negligence, or deliberate indifference. Sometimes a person can be so far behind in a race that no matter what they can never, &#8220;play catch up.&#8221; It happens all the time in boxing. An opponent may last 12 rounds, but he will still lose &#8220;just on points.&#8221; Just on the number of blows he or she took. This is where the conflict in Iran is at. It is about numbers, and the ability to impose a high attrition rate on the opponent. The states united has a &#8220;production issue,&#8221; and Iran does not. </p><div id="youtube2-xx97LUKm6T4" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;xx97LUKm6T4&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/xx97LUKm6T4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>The states united has to rely on a narrow source of munitions, whereas Iran has China, Russian, North Korean and others to supply &#8220;whatever is needed.&#8221; All of this can take place over a land resupply. The states united has to fly in supplies, and port ships well out of theater. Just the logistics of it doesn&#8217;t &#8220;math.&#8221;</p><div id="youtube2-hysqKXU8zN8" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;hysqKXU8zN8&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/hysqKXU8zN8?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>I believe a lot of people know deep down that their tax dollars, their energy, went towards the current realm that they see. I also believe that more and more people are comprehending that &#8220;having a stake in it&#8221; is something that is repulsive to them. I mean, the repulsion started &#8220;hardcore&#8221; with the revelations released in &#8220;The Files.&#8221; I believe to most people what they were being told was so &#8220;traumatic&#8221; that they just refused to consciously even acknowledge it. However, subconsciously they became disgusted and resentful. Disgusted at the revelation and resentful of those alleged to have been involved. The Files started a &#8220;snowball&#8221; down hill.</p><p>People stared looking more at Gaza, now Lebanon, the conflict with Iran, and they started to uproot their &#8220;stakes&#8221; from those involved. As time goes on this will increase I believe. It has to. Why? Because people &#8220;have to&#8221; be emotionally attached to a thing for it to have power and momentum for those in positions of authority. The delusion, or &#8220;dream,&#8221; is predicated upon the supposed system of &#8220;We the people,&#8221; or a Republic rule. This cannot happen if the &#8220;people&#8221; have &#8220;checked out.&#8221; </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QLeJ!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F63a58ea9-adf1-44a6-9579-fda1aeb5acf4_2048x1261.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QLeJ!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F63a58ea9-adf1-44a6-9579-fda1aeb5acf4_2048x1261.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QLeJ!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F63a58ea9-adf1-44a6-9579-fda1aeb5acf4_2048x1261.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QLeJ!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F63a58ea9-adf1-44a6-9579-fda1aeb5acf4_2048x1261.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QLeJ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F63a58ea9-adf1-44a6-9579-fda1aeb5acf4_2048x1261.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QLeJ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F63a58ea9-adf1-44a6-9579-fda1aeb5acf4_2048x1261.jpeg" width="1456" height="896" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/63a58ea9-adf1-44a6-9579-fda1aeb5acf4_2048x1261.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:896,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;\&quot;CHECK OUT TIME\&quot;

This is an old expression that accurately describes when a person or group reacts to &#8220;something&#8221; that they perceptive as offensive, emotionally triggering, or &#8220;too true.&#8221; I am referring to the &#8220;emotional reactions&#8221; that people have in &#8220;real life&#8221; when someone confronts them with something that is very uncomfortable to them, &#8220;for whatever reason.&#8221; I have experienced this myself here.</p><p>In the 1,420 musings of nothingness I have posted on Substack, I can&#8217;t count the number of them where YouTube terminated their channels, or precluded the link from working attached to my articles. I used to, when discovered, edit my posts and remove them. Now I leave them, kinda like a validation that the information I am imparting must have a smidgen of validity. I mean, I have counted over 20 channels terminated associated with my posts. That level evidences, at least to me, that, &#8220;Hit dogs really do holler,&#8221; but sometimes in a &#8220;silent way.&#8221;  Rather than refute my writings openly, the videos attached are removed and the channel is terminated.</p><p>The &#8220;silent way&#8221; being shadow banning, broken like buttons, cross platform suppression, all and sundry, just for having a &#8220;non-violent&#8221; opinion about different &#8220;stuff.&#8221; I laugh. I laugh because I don&#8217;t write for money, mines is always free, or fame. I write for my family and for my own reading pleasure. I take &#8220;confirmation bias&#8221; to the next level. I read my own work, and &#8220;I always agree with me,&#8221; so I am in a constant &#8220;feed-back loop&#8221; of my own views, hypocrisies, prejudices, biases, and musings of nothingness. I Love it. It keeps me grounded. I think?</p><p>The level of censorship, suppression of speech and sidelining of opinions in the states united has taken on the appearance of some sort of dystopian realm whereby people are treated in one way, and taught to believe in &#8220;another way&#8221; that does not comport with reality. People are taught to believe in freedom of speech, but they are treated in a way that precludes it. This is recently evidenced in the Iran conflict with the Lego animations being made to propagandize the viewers of such. </p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;bb1a7c14-82d9-4f64-beb3-7afce6adc88f&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Growing up in the states united has done a lot of damage to the population at large, simply because they adopted a lifestyle that is considered &#8220;normal,&#8221; when in reality it is one of the most insalubrious of enemies.

Cartoons and animations have been utilized on the people of the states united since the advent of television. Those producing the Lego videos manifestly know this, and this is why the videos &#8220;hit so hard&#8221; within the population.

I believe this because they appear  to accept what I call, &#8220;private actor overreach&#8221; into their daily lives. I mean, there is a line being pushed that private actors can override &#8220;public policy,&#8221; or in this case public &#8220;law.&#8221; What I mean is that private companies that feel they can violate the rights of people simply because, &#8220;we are not government.&#8221; Companies that skirt the 1st Amendment right to freedom of speech, or freedom of artistic expression. </p><p>What most people don&#8217;t comprehend is that the &#8220;future tech realm&#8221; that is being promoted is based not on constitutional law, the law of the land, but rather a &#8220;cyberspace carve out&#8221; that only exists there. It is not real. This is why there is a push of &#8220;digital everything.&#8221; Digital is not real. It only exists in cyberspace, and those in positions of rule believe cyberspace affords them an opportunity to skate past this nation&#8217;s charter and the protections it affords. It does not. If a company is in cahoots with &#8220;government actors,&#8221; in any way, they have to &#8220;play by the rules&#8221; where freedom of speech and artistic expression is concerned.

Too many. During the history of this menace on this land, it only became abated when those being victimized rose up and physically stopped the operation. The attempts to abate it by negotiation, compromise or plea just did not seem to have an effect on it. Simply because those involved were so well connected and violent themselves. Besides, they had established a sophisticated system of trafficking way back in the colonies during the time of the King Phillips War; and the &#8220;system&#8221; had, and has been working so well for them.

Labor equals loot.</p><p>Aside from agriculture, furs, timber exports, and trafficking of &#8220;Indians,&#8221; there was not much that produced revenue as lucratively as captured Indian slaves. This was one of the main revenue generators with &#8220;operations&#8221; stretching from the colonies, to the Caribbean, and into Europe. Indians were even getting shipped out of North America. When this no longer became profitable, then &#8220;main land&#8221; North American slavery, of all races, and trafficking of them became &#8220;a thing.&#8221; It was then that the people of the early states united became &#8220;targets of opportunity.&#8221; Whites were not immune, or spared if they stood in the way of &#8220;what the Northern bankers,&#8221; their foreign funders, and their &#8220;carpetbaggers&#8221; wanted. White people, especially &#8220;pre-colonial White families,&#8221; they got special attention for oppression and attack, just like Indians and Negros. Trust.</p><p>In fact, the &#8220;Whites,&#8221; or &#8220;white skinned Northerners&#8221; would take over a town, take over its operations, and have a Bar B Que every weekend. They ran the town. At that event, any family that was not &#8220;doing as told,&#8221; they would be &#8220;exiled or killed,&#8221; depending on the situation. It was hardcore and treacherous. A lot of White people got killed by other &#8220;white skinned people.&#8221; One fine example of this is in the run up to the &#8220;Civil War.&#8221; It is such a fine example that mostly nobody knows about it.</p><p>As usual there was a small cadre of &#8220;Northern&#8221; people, with long money, who wanted to lord over an entire territory of people who wanted nothing to do with the human trafficking operations. A territory of people, of all races, who had lived there in relative Peace for generations. A territory of people who became targets of foreign money and domestic evil. Decent people, who wanted to be left alone. People who did not want to earn revenue on the backs of others. People who already had themselves established and were doing just fine. Nope. The evil ones are jealous of that.  They don&#8217;t like autonomy. The evil ones want people to traffic like farm animals. They could not stand seeing people free on the land, and since the evil ones could not &#8220;earn off of them,&#8221; the people of the land were attacked.</p><p>Not everyone was going for it. They fought back,  however the evil ones had revenue, and a steady supply of paid mercenaries, but those they faced had something else, to wit, &#8220;real faith in All Mighty God,&#8221; and the courage that comes with it. Real Christians sometimes have limits, and are willing to struggle in that. Christians have been known to commit themselves to &#8220;Jihad,&#8221; or &#8220;struggle in the way of God.&#8221; History evidences that fact. That was evidenced in &#8220;Bloody Kansas.&#8221;</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;b5aad7d0-57ab-40fe-8f33-0557de5972e8&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;John Brown was a Messianic fanatic too.

I mean, what was once viewed as peculiar, strange, or even plain ole violent, it all takes on another view. Most, if not all enormities and atrocities that happened on this land, I believe that the human trafficking, &#8220;satanic worship&#8221; aspect played a major role in it. I believe the violence, wars and disasters are just a &#8220;convenient excuses for sacrifices.&#8221; I believe that people were viewed as &#8220;war spoils and animals.&#8221; I also know, with certitude, the &#8220;mind&#8221; that conjured most of that dastardly and evil stuff up. It is not a puzzle and is easily exampled on the modern realm.</p><p>When someone really contemplates what is being espoused about the Civil War, and the &#8220;human cost of it,&#8221; then it becomes clear that it had nothing do do with &#8220;fighting for slavery.&#8221; I mean, it laughable simply because there are no other examples of the states united going to war over a bunch of Negros. In fact, the states united was hell bent in the past on shipping Indians and Negros out.

How many children come up missing or are harmed? How many women and innocent people?

This is one of the many ways that people are victimized. The people are kept distracted by the catastrophe, and their women, children, lands and valuables are taken.

Drawing upon historical records, modern case studies, and psychological diagnostic criteria, this report demonstrates that these disorders present real and escalating threats to mental health, social stability, and democratic institutions. The analysis includes DSM-5 cross-references, a survey of at-risk professions, and clinical reasoning for early intervention.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em><strong>I. Introduction</strong></em></h3><p><em>Society is increasingly encountering forms of ideological radicalization, delusional self-concepts, and mass psychological dysfunction that are not fully addressed by traditional psychiatric diagnostics. Two emerging syndromes, Messianic Hero Personality Disorder (MHPD) and Unknown Veneration Personality Disorder (UVPD), appear with increasing frequency among individuals in spiritual, political, and ideological leadership roles, as well as in online subcultures and vulnerable social groups. These disorders blend aspects of delusional, narcissistic, and schizoaffective disorders while evading easy categorization. Their impact, historically and contemporarily, justifies the creation of targeted diagnostic tools.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em><strong>II. Historical Context and Precedent</strong></em></h3><p><em>Throughout history, individuals exhibiting MHPD- or UVPD-like traits have led societies into fanaticism, persecution, and mass violence. Examples include the Crusades, inquisitions, cultic uprisings, revolutionary religious movements, and prophetic violence. Prominent figures such as Thomas M&#252;nzer, Joseph Smith, Nat Turner, and Jim Jones exhibited traits consistent with modern interpretations of MHPD, including grandiosity, divine mission rhetoric, martyrdom complex, and persecution delusions. These historical precedents demonstrate the catastrophic potential of untreated messianic delusions in leadership roles.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em><strong>III. Symptomatology and DSM-5 Cross-References</strong></em></h3><p><em>MHPD and UVPD are not currently recognized in the DSM-5-TR but share features with several established disorders:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Delusional Disorder, Grandiose Type (DSM-5-TR 297.1): Persistent belief in special powers, destiny, or identity without hallucinations.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Narcissistic Personality Disorder (DSM-5-TR 301.81): Grandiosity, fantasies of unlimited success, belief in being special, lack of empathy.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Schizoaffective Disorder (DSM-5-TR 295.70): Mood episodes concurrent with symptoms of schizophrenia.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Religious or Cultural Delusions (noted in DSM-5-TR Cultural Formulation Interview): Beliefs shaped by extreme interpretations of cultural narratives or religious frameworks.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>MHPD specifically includes:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Delusions of divine election.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Martyrdom identity.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Cosmic mission rhetoric.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Apocalyptic or purifying ideologies.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>UVPD involves:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Projection of perfection onto mythical or unknown figures.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Obsessive historic-veneration ideation.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Confused identity anchored in obscure religious or ancestral beliefs.</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><p><em>IV. Present-Day Relevance</em></p><p><em>Contemporary movements such as QAnon, sovereign citizen ideologies, and online prophetic influencers exhibit characteristics aligning with MHPD/UVPD diagnostic models. These disorders influence real-world outcomes including:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Electoral violence</em></p></li><li><p><em>Group radicalization</em></p></li><li><p><em>Policy distortion via prophetic rhetoric</em></p></li><li><p><em>Disinformation and mass delusion</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Clinical institutions, legal systems, and social platforms currently lack formal tools to identify and intervene when such pathology escalates into group behavior.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em><strong>V. High-Risk Professions and Roles</strong></em></h3><p><em>Certain roles attract or reinforce these disorders, including:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Clergy, preachers, evangelists</em></p></li><li><p><em>Politicians with ideological bases</em></p></li><li><p><em>Cult leaders and online influencers</em></p></li><li><p><em>Self-identified prophets, seers, or chosen leaders</em></p></li><li><p><em>Teachers rewriting curricula to match personal revelations</em></p></li><li><p><em>Formerly incarcerated individuals radicalized during imprisonment</em></p></li></ul><p><em>The feedback loops created by followers, congregants, or online audiences can exacerbate existing narcissistic and delusional traits, leading to shared psychosis (folie &#224; plusieurs).</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em><strong>VI. Clinical and Societal Justification</strong></em></h3><p><em>Unaddressed MHPD and UVPD manifest as:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Familial estrangement</em></p></li><li><p><em>Social persecution fantasies</em></p></li><li><p><em>Violent outbreaks</em></p></li><li><p><em>Obstruction of civil institutions</em></p></li><li><p><em>Misuse of religious freedom protections to avoid accountability</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Without a diagnostic mechanism, intervention is delayed until harm is done. Proactive identification allows for:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Court-mandated psychological evaluations</em></p></li><li><p><em>Targeted cognitive-behavioral therapy</em></p></li><li><p><em>Psychoeducation and reality testing</em></p></li><li><p><em>De-radicalization programs</em></p></li><li><p><em>Prevention of mass harm and cult formation</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3><em><strong>VII. Recommendations</strong></em></h3><ol><li><p><em>Formal recognition of MHPD and UVPD as culturally-bound but clinically actionable syndromes.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Inclusion in structured diagnostic screening tools for use in courts, schools, mental health clinics, and public safety evaluations.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Education for professionals in law, mental health, and education on how to recognize symptoms.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Funding for research into psychoreligious disorders.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Public health messaging about how savior fantasies and unknown veneration can mask serious disorders.</em></p></li></ol><div><hr></div><h3><em><strong>VIII. Conclusion</strong></em></h3><p><em>Messianic and veneration-based delusions are no longer fringe afflictions. In an era where social media and cultural fragmentation reward extremist narratives and prophetic self-concepts, MHPD and UVPD present unique, identifiable, and treatable psychological threats. A diagnostic framework is essential not just for psychiatric practice but for preserving the stability of institutions and public safety.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em><strong>Footnotes</strong></em></h3><ol><li><p><em>American Psychiatric Association.

The &#8220;information war in people&#8217;s minds.&#8221; That&#8217;s why. Mass public opinion, in any favor is a weapon. It is a weapon because of the energy it creates. It creates an energy that makes people at large disgusted with those who previously hoodwinked them, and that takes away the control. That &#8220;breaks the Babylonian spell.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m done with MAGA,&#8221; they yell, &#8220;and politics too. I don&#8217;t have time for that crap.&#8221;</p><div id="youtube2-_-y27UT65xc" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;_-y27UT65xc&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/_-y27UT65xc?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Over a billion people follow and sympathize with Pope Leo. Millions and millions follow the others. Each group has their own demographic, and their own lane. However these combined are fast becoming a &#8220;critical mass&#8221; of public sentiment that does not bode well for anyone that they collectively oppose. </p><p>These groups, and others realm wide have started to polarize against what everyone knows is oppression and unnecessary suffering. I really do believe that as each day goes on, more and more people, through traumatic bonding, will come closer to a central focus; and they will movie away from the collective differences. They will have to, because survival and a determined opposition against them will make it necessary.</p><p>The abyss is here, but we don&#8217;t have to be involved in it. Let narrow minds sink.</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll float with the waters above it.&#8221;</p><p>Lord have Mercy</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[This Alternative Dimension]]></title><description><![CDATA[Something Has Flipped.

I will explain. The &#8220;things and events&#8221; that have transpired over the last few years have been quite disturbing, to say the least. At least for people who have a soul, and those who recognize the potential being lost in &#8220;cyclones of nothingness.&#8221; Since so many peculiar &#8220;things&#8221; have went on, one has to assume that they are being done as a &#8220;trolling-gaslight type operation,&#8221; because the &#8220;Alternative&#8221; is terrifying. If it is not a sophisticated gaslight, then that means the peculiar &#8220;things&#8221; are not intentional and they are being done out of pure stupidity.

The reason why I say, &#8220;mind washed&#8221; is because this &#8220;mind&#8221; was inculcated into them starting around 1800. Granted, the colonists hated Negros and Indians too, that&#8217;s why they trafficked our women and children. The colonies were the original &#8220;E&#8221; Island. However, I am not referring to that aspect, I am referring to the &#8220;hardcore racial divide&#8221; being &#8220;Instituted&#8221; as a national policy.</p><p>Let&#8217;s be clear, &#8220;History from public academia is full of holes and omissions.&#8221; Period. Let&#8217;s also be clear that American Indians, Negros, Moors, and other races of people had European &#8220;contract indentures,&#8221; who were referred to as &#8220;slaves,&#8221; after &#8220;Slavs,&#8221; or &#8220;Slavics.&#8221; In fact, the mixed race society was extremely prosperous, and especially among the &#8220;minorities.&#8221; The American Indians, Negros, Moors, etc., and their European employees were doing so well, that the House of Burgess&#8217; in the colonies passed laws keeping the &#8220;Whites&#8221; from working for the &#8220;minorities&#8221; as we are now called. </p><p><em>&#8220;No Negro or Indian though baptized and enjoying their own freedom shall be capable of any such purchase of (white) Christians, but not yet disbarred from buying any of their own kind.&#8221;     Act V. Laws of Virginia, Oct 1670.</em></p><p><em>&#8220;No Negro, Mulatto, Indian, although a Christian or any Jew, Mohammedan....shall purchase any Christian White servants.&#8221;    Act IX. Laws of Virginia Oct 1748</em></p><p>This I believe was the start of the &#8220;divide and rule&#8221; strategy. Manifestly the above &#8220;laws&#8221; also make the entire &#8220;lie of White&#8221; colonial America&#8221; nothing more than propaganda concocted to support the aforementioned control strategy. Most people don&#8217;t really know that in early history on this land, that Muslims played a important role. So much so that George Washington consulted with the Sultan of Morocco &#8220;prior&#8221; to nationhood. Morocco was the first nation to recognize the states united as a nation. </p><p><em>To Sidi Mohammed</em></p><p><em>New York, 1 December 1789</em></p><p><em>Since the Date of the Letter, which the late Congress, by their President, addressed to your Imperial Majesty, the United States of America have thought proper to change their Government, and to institute a new one, agreeable to the Constitution, of which I have the Honor of, herewith, enclosing a Copy.</em></p><p><em>The Time necessarily employed in this arduous Task, and the Derangements occasioned by so great, though peaceable a Revolution, will apologize, and account for your Majesty&#8217;s not having received those regular Advices, and Marks of Attention, from the United States, which the Friendship and Magnanimity of your Conduct, towards them, afforded Reason to expect.</em></p><p><em>The United States, having unanimously appointed me to the supreme executive Authority, in this Nation, your Majesty&#8217;s Letter of the 17th August 1788, which, by Reason of the Dissolution of the late Government, remained unanswered, has been delivered to me.

But our Soil is bountiful, and our People industrious; and we have Reason to flatter ourselves, that we shall gradually become useful to our Friends.</em></p><p><em>The Encouragement which your Majesty has been pleased, generously, to give to our Commerce with your Dominions; the Punctuality with which you have caused the Treaty with us to be observed, and the just and generous Measures taken, in the Case of Captain Proctor, made a deep Impression on the United States, and confirm their Respect for, and Attachment to your Imperial Majesty.</em></p><p><em>It gives me Pleasure to have this Opportunity of assuring your Majesty that, while I remain at the Head of this Nation, I shall not cease to promote every Measure that may conduce to the Friendship and Harmony, which so happily subsist between your Empire and them, and shall esteem myself happy in every Occasion of convincing your Majesty of the high Sense (which in common with the whole Nation) I entertain of the Magnanimity, Wisdom, and Benevolence of your Majesty.</em></p><p><em>In the Course of the approaching Winter, the national Legislature (which is called by the former Name of Congress) will assemble, and I shall take Care that Nothing be omitted that may be necessary to cause the Correspondence, between our Countries, to be maintained and conducted in a Manner agreeable to your Majesty, and satisfactory to all the Parties concerned in it.</em></p><p><em>May the Almighty bless your Imperial Majesty, our great and magnanimous Friend, with his constant Guidance and Protection.

Would a racist bigot see a need to consult with a &#8220;rag head&#8221; from thousands of miles way? Think about that?&#8221; So it appears that two of the biggest myths about race and religion have been, at least to me, discombobulated.

Everything had to surround creating two distinct classes of people, with another class being killed outright, American Indians, or &#8220;genocide via records,&#8221; by turning them into Negros on paper, which again &#8220;put them in one of the two distinct classes, to wit, &#8220;White and Black.&#8221; Once that process started, the population became obsessed with race, so much so that it literally drove them insane by today&#8217;s standards. Think about that? A false idea ingrained so deeply that it made people conduct themselves like &#8220;nut jobs.&#8221;</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;2ddd4707-dc38-443a-b3df-a3f4c89e9578&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Disclaimer: The photos contained in this musing are from my published book, &#8220;The Photo book of Shame.&#8221; They are available here:&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Read full story&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;md&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;\&quot;How Did The States United Become Racist?\&quot;&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:131037812,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Jean-Baptiste Guillory&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;\&quot;American,\&quot; Ourstorian-Historian, Legal Researcher, Published Author.

Things that cost them intellectually, financially and emotionally. The states united has lost trillions due to racism. 16 trillion in 20 years. How much in 150 years? Huh?</p><p><em>&#8220;We discover that closing racial gaps is a pareto improvement to both the U.S. economy and society. If racial gaps for Blacks had been closed 20 years ago, U.S. GDP could have benefited by an estimated $16 trillion. If we close gaps today, the equivalent add to the U.S. economy over the next five years could be $5 trillion of additional GDP, or an average add of 0.35 percentage points to U.S. GDP growth per year and 0.09 percentage points to global GDP growth per year.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/09/23/916022472/cost-of-racism-u-s-economy-lost-16-trillion-because-of-discrimination-bank-says</em></p><p>See, the obsession with this &#8220;racial myth&#8221; has cost the people a lot. I mean, in the stead of erasing this foolishness, it is still being promoted by sundry groups, political parties, corporations, academic institutions, and even the military. Instead of choosing the best people for a position, predicated upon testing for qualification, the society has been &#8220;trained&#8221; to play favoritism towards whatever race of people that &#8220;the agenda&#8221; needs. When there is a &#8220;left lean&#8221; women and &#8220;minorities&#8221; get favoritism, and when swaying back &#8220;right&#8221; it becomes the turn of &#8220;conservatives and Whites.&#8221; It has rarely been the smartest and brightest, and nepotism plays a profound role in this.</p><p>This has also recently been evidenced in the dismissal and removal of many eligible U.S. military personnel who have earned their positions. This being done due to the &#8220;same ole soup&#8221; of racism and phony supremacy.</p><p>This is also evidenced in the pick for the current Secretary of Defense, &#8220;Embellish Pete,&#8221; or what some coin, &#8220;The Secretary of War.&#8221; Some &#8220;coin&#8221; it that, but not Congress so I won&#8217;t either. &#8220;Embellish Pete&#8221; was chosen, manifestly, for his bluster and &#8220;stage presence.&#8221; There is just one problem, &#8220;This ain&#8217;t 1944.&#8221; This is 2026. That is why the &#8220;stuff&#8221; being presented to the public, &#8220;Looks so corny and goofy.&#8221; It&#8217;s a bluster for another time, another era of ignorance that the internet has replaced. Back in &#8216;44 it was easy to &#8220;talk tough&#8221; because nobody could &#8220;fact check it.&#8221; Now they can and it just makes no rational sense to &#8220;rebel rouse.&#8221;</p><p>Now, let&#8217;s take racism or politics out of the equation and compare, &#8220;Embellish Pete&#8221; to the former Secretary of Defense:</p><p><em>Lloyd J. Austin III</em></p><p><em>&#8220;General Lloyd J. Austin III, hails from Thomasville, Georgia. He was commissioned an Infantry second lieutenant in 1975 upon graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.

It does not matter what race the person is, Lloyd Austin just happens to be Negro, but what matters is that the person come to the table with the proper knowledge, wisdom and understanding to effectively lead others into battle. Manifestly Embellish Pete cannot. Why? Messianic fanaticism, which is a mental health condition, a personality disorder, that precludes rational deductions in daily life.</p><p>Additionally, the military record, which evidences experience, is dubious and lacking. When inexperience is coupled with delusions about supernatural fairy tales that are connected to &#8220;battlefield realities&#8221; it is a recipe for disaster I believe. This being manifested and evidenced in the losses suffered during the recent conflict with Iran. The entire realm knows it was a &#8220;L.&#8221; I mean, the geopolitical arena is replete with this conclusion. Politicians, pundits and commentators all agree.</p><p>It&#8217;s &#8220;High time&#8221; that the people of the land erase the racial nonsense and gravitate towards those most qualified, those with the most expertise, and those with &#8220;more things of benefit&#8221; regardless of their race. In the past people of all races fought for this land, and they were proud of it. Then the fight was over and somehow they forgot what actually &#8220;made America great.&#8221; It wasn&#8217;t a red hat, it was people of all races who did that.</p><p>Lord have Mercy</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA["Cloaking" Inside of Religion]]></title><description><![CDATA[They are only "religious" when it cloaks evil.

They mostly don&#8217;t, however they expect others to. In fact, they bank on it. The evil ones &#8220;bank&#8221; on people following &#8220;their religious rules.&#8221; The evil ones know that most people have a certain set of morals that doesn&#8217;t allow them to &#8220;stoop lower than a certain level.&#8221; So the evil ones makes sure that they navigate at levels &#8220;lower&#8221; than most people can phantom. That is their niche. Their &#8220;get down.&#8221; Their &#8220;safe space.&#8221; Their &#8220;cinch money.&#8221;</p><p>See, people who don&#8217;t have evil minds, they cannot comprehend the types of evil that they may be faced with. Six months ago, most of the population had no idea that the society was controlled by child sacrificing, demon worshiping cannibals. People at large had no idea because their minds don&#8217;t work like that. That is why the evil ones have been so successful, they navigate within people&#8217;s ignorance. &#8220;Ignorance,&#8221; or lack of knowledge in the masses, is why the people at large are called, &#8220;The Profane&#8221; by those in the esoteric sciences. &#8220;They are just groping,&#8221; they snicker, &#8220;we expect nothing more. Ever.&#8221;</p><p>The people are expected, based upon their &#8220;religious&#8221; morals, to conduct themselves in a certain way, and when they do so, they are the victimized in their emotions and sometimes in their person by those who took advantage of &#8220;their morality.&#8221; This is evidenced by those who &#8220;cloak behind religion,&#8221; and then use that position to harm others. This is also evidenced by those who cloak behind religion &#8220;with their mouths,&#8221; but their actions are quite the opposite. There are examples of this throughout history and currently. A religious &#8220;cloak&#8221; seems to go part and parcel with devilment.</p><p>One such example is the bombing of the synagogue in Iran. Iran houses one of the oldest continuous Jewish communities in the realm. A community that has lived right alongside of the Shi&#8217;a Muslims and Christians there for hundreds of years. I covered this previously here:</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;9a2de832-0513-4e89-8b0d-25ee65f84c17&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;I covered this topic in the past and I decided to revisit it simply because all things media are constantly &#8220;mind washing me&#8221; into something negative about, &#8220;Iran.&#8221; I&#8217;m tired of hearing about them.

Footage showed civil defence workers amid the rubble, with Hebrew-language books scattered on the ground.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;The report said that due to the narrowness of the streets surrounding the building attacked, the exterior and interior of the nearby buildings were also &#8220;severely damaged&#8221;.

There are no publicly available official numbers, but there are thought to be a few thousand Jewish people in Iran. Shargh called the synagogue &#8220;one of the most important places for Khorasan Jews to gather and celebrate&#8221;, referring to the northeastern province of Iran.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;The strikes were among a series of US-Israeli attacks overnight, in which at least 15 people were killed across Iran, local media reported. Six bodies have been recovered from under the rubble of buildings in the city of Pardis, east of Tehran, Mehr reported.

In order to &#8220;cloak&#8221; the reality &#8220;of their worship.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg" width="710" height="793.9090909090909" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;large&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:246,&quot;width&quot;:220,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:710,&quot;bytes&quot;:31911,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-large" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eAh5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F58eb124c-9e9c-40ee-919c-4f863dddf5b1_220x246.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Another thing most people don&#8217;t comprehend is that in the same way &#8220;regular folks&#8221;

This process will not stop. It will increase daily.

by Good deeds and Good character. I also believe this same &#8220;Body&#8221; is where the &#8220;true religion&#8221; if you will, can be found. Not in heirarchy. I say this simply because of the fact that power corrupts absolutely, this is evidenced in the historical record within all branches of Abraham&#8217;s tree, and the &#8220;trees&#8221; of sundry rulers from sundry lands. It is a proven fact that most people cannot balance their &#8220;material energy&#8221; and their energy supposedly devoted to things of &#8220;Higher Brightness.&#8221; Usually without exception, most when placed in positions of authority, those with a dark heart, they do deeds that evidence not allegiance to All Mighty God, but rather allegiance to &#8220;everything else that pays well,&#8221; and by extension to &#8220;satan,&#8221; or &#8220;the dark forces of energy and greed.&#8221; </p><p><em><strong> &#8220;</strong>Body- A group or aggregate of individuals or organizations.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;This usage refers to a collective unit of people, often united by a common purpose, affiliation, or characteristic. This can include formal deliberative assemblies.</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Example 1: The entire electorate of a country, often referred to as the &#8220;electoral <strong>body</strong>,&#8221; consists of all eligible voters who participate in elections.</em></p><p><em>Explanation: This refers to the collective group of citizens who hold the right to vote.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Example 2: A university&#8217;s student <strong>body</strong> comprises all enrolled students, who collectively share certain rights and responsibilities within the academic institution.</em></p><p><em>Explanation: This term refers to the entire population of students as a single unit.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Example 3: A legislative <strong>body</strong>, such as a national parliament or state assembly, is a group of elected representatives who convene to debate and pass laws.</em></p><p><em>Explanation: This is a specific type of group organized for the purpose of deliberation and decision-making.&#8221;</em></p></li></ul><p><em>https://definitions.lsd.law/body</em></p><p>The &#8220;Body&#8221; of the church, which consists of 1.5 BILLION people on this realm, they mostly act in their daily lives, <em>ab extra</em>, or outside of the church&#8217;s direct control. However they do have &#8220;direct teachings,&#8221; that for most it tempers their personality, and in their daily lives affords a benefit. This is not a &#8220;church person&#8221; directing them live, it is a reflection of what people exemplify when they truly make up, &#8220;The Body of Christ.&#8221;  We see it every day in regular people, yet our eyes have been made blind to what we are seeing. The &#8220;Body&#8221; is found in those giving charity, a smile, a kind word, etc. We have been trained to witness these things happening and to not recognize their value as an affirmation to us. When we witness &#8220;Good,&#8221; we witness &#8220;God.&#8221;</p><p>1.5 billion people is a lot of people, &#8220;The Body,&#8221; and recently their sensibilities have been offended. It appears that &#8220;someone&#8221; had a bright idea about &#8220;threatening Pope Leo.&#8221; This being done in a recent meeting between officials from the states united and The Papacy. Apparently someone decided to &#8220;wise crack&#8221; at the Pope&#8217;s representative. This being done in reference to the &#8220;Avignon Papacy,&#8221; which evidenced a threat. The Avignon Papacy refers to the Pope being kidnapped and killed. Yeah that. &#8220;Mind boggling,&#8221; it is.</p><p>Whomever &#8220;cooked that up&#8221; should be ashamed of themselves. It is very mean spirited, and really kind of &#8220;thuggish.&#8221; It was also EXTREMELY SHORT SIGHTED. I will explain. See, the Avignon Papacy and the kidnapping of the Pope was accomplished at a time when the church, although powerful, it still did not have a &#8220;army of people ready to ride with just a text or phone call.&#8221; The church at that time had a bit of strength, but not enough to match the power of the French Monarchy. Times have changed, and this is why threatening the Pope is &#8220;ill advised.&#8221;</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;ca646e43-5819-4711-bd00-6b6dd85b8c5e&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;There is another battle going on while the people gawked at the &#8220;latest conflict&#8221; in the &#8220;ever-conflicted Middle East.&#8221; That is the battle that some feel is for &#8220;God and Justice,&#8221; and others feel it is for, &#8220;Order.&#8221; Some may even feel it is for both.

According to the report, the Pentagon invited the Holy See ambassador to the U.S., Cardinal <strong>Christophe Pierre,</strong> for a meeting in response to a recent speech by the Pope.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;During that meeting, U.S. officials reportedly complained about the speech and took exception to Pope Leo&#8217;s indirect shots at the president. One of those officials, the report continued, even referenced the Avignon Papacy of the 14th century &#8212; a period largely defined by the French Crown imposing its will to influence the Catholic Church. While speaking to the media in Budapest, Hungary, Vance was asked by a reporter if the story was &#8220;correct.&#8221; Vance began by stating he didn&#8217;t know who Pierre was. When he was informed that Pierre was the former Holy See ambassador, that appeared to jog his memory.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Oh, OK, OK, I&#8217;ve met him before,&#8221; Vance continued. &#8220;Sorry, I just didn&#8217;t remember the name.

I think it&#8217;s always a bad idea to offer an opinion on stories that are unconfirmed and uncorroborated, so I&#8217;m not going to do that.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Independent reporter <strong>Christopher Hale</strong> later added that the Vatican viewed the mention of the Avignon Papacy as a threat.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/jd-vance-confronted-with-report-the-pentagon-allegedly-threatened-vatican-with-military-force/</em></p><div id="youtube2-6O2-n-XVfiU" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;6O2-n-XVfiU&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6O2-n-XVfiU?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Why is it &#8220;ill advised&#8221; to threaten the Pope? Because this is not the 1200s, 1300s, 1400s, 1500s, 1600s, 1700s, 1800s, 1900s, or early 2000s, it is 2026, &#8220;THE SAME OLD DUSTY PLAYS FROM THE PAST ARE MEANINGLESS. THEY WILL FLOP.&#8221; </p><p>The &#8220;old plays&#8221; from the past cannot contend with the modern age. Pope Leo is not some lowly Pope isolated in Avignon. The past plot against the Pope, like all plots, including, but not to, colonization of the Americas, was ONLY made possible because there was no mass form of communication, or ANY HISTORY TO STUDY. All across the realm people can communicate instantly, they can research, and they can &#8220;know&#8221; about the levels of treachery that they are up against. In the past most colonized or victimized people were &#8220;done so&#8221; simply because &#8220;they did not know,&#8221; and thus they did not defend themselves. That time is over. Long gone and never coming back.</p><p>What most people fail to grasp is that Pope Leo can call for Jihad, or &#8220;Holy Struggle.&#8221; In the past this has been done. 1.5 billion people, realm wide, is a lot. Additionally, the thing that makes a specific and &#8220;uniquely distinct difference&#8221; from Avignon is that at no other time in history has the Papacy had such a strong &#8220;military wing.&#8221; I mean, the church has numerous nations under its jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, Mexico, Spain, Italy, France, Ireland, Brazil, The Philippines, and Poland. Each one of these have capable paramilitaries. Each on has instant communications with each other. Each one houses a plethora of Catholics, and by extension, &#8220;sympathizers.&#8221;</p><p>This is why I believe threatening the church was, and is, &#8220;highly ill advised.&#8221; To truly comprehend this issue, I have compiled two report versions via my own &#8220;trained&#8221; A.I. language model. Those reports are here:</p><h3><em>The Avignon Papacy, the Trial of the Knights Templar, and the Evolution of Papal Universal Jurisdiction</em></h3><h3><em>Financial Administration, Canon Law Controversy, and the Foundations of Colonial Legal Doctrine</em></h3><div><hr></div><h3><em>Abstract</em></h3><p><em>The Avignon Papacy (1309&#8211;1377) represents a pivotal period in the legal and institutional development of the Roman Catholic Church. During these decades, the papal court relocated from Rome to Avignon, where it operated under circumstances widely perceived as reflecting the political influence of the French monarchy. This report analyzes three central developments that illuminate the legal implications of the Avignon period:</em></p><ol><li><p><em>The financial administration and taxation system developed by the Avignon papacy.</em></p></li><li><p><em>The trial and suppression of the Knights Templar (1307&#8211;1312) and its controversial canon-law implications.</em></p></li><li><p><em>The doctrine of papal universal jurisdiction (plenitudo potestatis) and its influence on later colonial legal frameworks, including the papal bulls that underpinned the Doctrine of Discovery.</em></p></li></ol><p><em>Using primary sources including papal bulls, council decrees, medieval legal treatises, and contemporary chronicles, this report situates the Avignon Papacy within the broader evolution of ecclesiastical authority, international law, and imperial expansion.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>I. Historical Background of the Avignon Papacy</em></h3><p><em>The Avignon Papacy emerged from escalating conflict between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip IV of France.</em></p><p><em>In the bull Unam Sanctam (1302), Boniface asserted sweeping papal authority:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam (1302)</em></p></blockquote><p><em>Philip IV rejected papal claims to authority over secular rulers. The confrontation culminated in the Anagni incident of 1303, when agents of the French king briefly captured the pope.</em></p><p><em>Following Boniface&#8217;s death, Bertrand de Got was elected Pope Clement V (1305&#8211;1314). In 1309, Clement relocated the papal court to Avignon, initiating nearly seventy years of residence there.</em></p><p><em>Contemporary observers believed the papacy had fallen under French influence. Italian humanist Petrarch wrote:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Here reign the successors of the poor fishermen of Galilee, yet they have forgotten their origins.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Petrarch, Epistolae sine nomine</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>II. The Financial System of the Avignon Papacy</em></h3><p><em>One of the defining features of the Avignon Papacy was the development of a highly centralized financial administration.</em></p><p><em>Historian Walter Ullmann notes:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The Avignon papacy perfected a system of fiscal administration that made the papal curia the most sophisticated financial institution in Europe.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Ullmann, A Short History of the Papacy</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p><em>A. Annates (First Fruits)</em></p><p><em>One of the most controversial taxes was the annate, also called the first fruits.</em></p><p><em>This tax required newly appointed bishops or clergy to pay the first year&#8217;s income of their office to the papacy.</em></p><p><em>The system effectively turned ecclesiastical appointments into a revenue-generating mechanism for the papal court.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>B. Papal Provisions</em></p><p><em>The Avignon papacy expanded the practice of papal provision, whereby the pope directly appointed bishops and abbots across Europe.</em></p><p><em>This bypassed local cathedral chapters and strengthened papal control.</em></p><p><em>Historian Eamon Duffy explains:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;By the fourteenth century the papacy increasingly reserved the right to appoint bishops directly, transforming ecclesiastical offices into instruments of centralized governance.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Duffy, Saints and Sinners: A History of the Popes</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p><em>C. Indulgences and Fees</em></p><p><em>The papal court also relied heavily on:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>dispensation fees</em></p></li><li><p><em>indulgence revenues</em></p></li><li><p><em>legal appeals heard by papal courts</em></p></li></ul><p><em>These financial practices generated resentment throughout Europe and contributed to criticisms of corruption.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>III. The Trial and Suppression of the Knights Templar</em></h3><p><em>A. Background</em></p><p><em>The Knights Templar, founded in 1119 during the Crusades, became one of the wealthiest and most powerful institutions in medieval Europe.</em></p><p><em>They maintained:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>military forces</em></p></li><li><p><em>extensive landholdings</em></p></li><li><p><em>international banking operations</em></p></li></ul><p><em>The order answered directly to the pope, placing it outside the jurisdiction of secular rulers.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>B. Arrest by Philip IV (1307)</em></p><p><em>On Friday, October 13, 1307, King Philip IV ordered the arrest of Templars across France.</em></p><p><em>Charges included:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>heresy</em></p></li><li><p><em>idol worship</em></p></li><li><p><em>denial of Christ</em></p></li><li><p><em>immoral initiation rites</em></p></li></ul><p><em>Many confessions were obtained through torture.</em></p><p><em>Chronicler Guillaume de Nangis recorded:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The brothers confessed under the severity of torment, yet when brought before ecclesiastical judges many denied the accusations.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Guillaume de Nangis, Chronicon</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p><em>C. Papal Intervention</em></p><p><em>Pope Clement V initially objected to Philip&#8217;s unilateral action because the Templars were under papal authority.</em></p><p><em>Nevertheless, he issued the bull Pastoralis Praeeminentiae (1307) ordering Christian rulers to arrest Templars and seize their assets.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>D. Dissolution at the Council of Vienne</em></p><p><em>The matter culminated at the Council of Vienne (1311&#8211;1312).</em></p><p><em>Instead of issuing a judicial verdict, Clement V dissolved the order through administrative decree.</em></p><p><em>Excerpt from Vox in Excelso</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We abolish the Order of the Temple not by definitive sentence but by apostolic ordinance.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Clement V, Vox in Excelso (1312)</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>IV. Canon Law Controversy in the Templar Suppression</em></h3><p><em>The dissolution of the Templars raised serious questions regarding canon law procedure.</em></p><p><em>Normally, ecclesiastical trials required:</em></p><ol><li><p><em>formal charges</em></p></li><li><p><em>examination of evidence</em></p></li><li><p><em>judicial verdict</em></p></li></ol><p><em>However, Clement V avoided declaring the order guilty.</em></p><p><em>Historian Malcolm Barber writes:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The order was suppressed without a canonical conviction for heresy.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Barber, The Trial of the Templars</em></p></blockquote><p><em>Many scholars argue the decision reflected political pressure from Philip IV, who was heavily indebted to the order.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>V. Papal Doctrine of Universal Jurisdiction</em></h3><p><em>The Avignon Papacy reinforced the medieval canon-law concept known as plenitudo potestatis (fullness of power).</em></p><p><em>This doctrine held that the pope possessed supreme authority within Christendom.</em></p><p><em>Legal historian Brian Tierney explains:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The medieval papacy asserted plenitude of power as a means of exercising universal jurisdiction within the Christian world.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Tierney, The Crisis of Church and State</em></p></blockquote><p><em>This doctrine allowed the papacy to:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>intervene in secular disputes</em></p></li><li><p><em>arbitrate between monarchs</em></p></li><li><p><em>grant political authority over territories</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3><em>VI. Contemporary Criticism of the Avignon Papacy</em></h3><p><em>Numerous scholars criticized the Avignon papacy.</em></p><p><em>Petrarch</em></p><p><em>Petrarch condemned the papal court:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Avignon is the sink of the world where all the filth of the universe is gathered.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Petrarch, Letters Without Names</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p><em>Marsilius of Padua</em></p><p><em>Marsilius of Padua&#8217;s Defensor Pacis (1324) challenged papal political authority.</em></p><p><em>He argued:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The Roman bishop has no coercive jurisdiction over rulers unless granted by the human legislator.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Marsilius, Defensor Pacis</em></p></blockquote><p><em>This work laid early foundations for the later concept of separation between church and state.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>VII. Influence on Colonial Legal Doctrine</em></h3><p><em>The legal doctrine of papal universal jurisdiction later shaped European colonial policy.</em></p><p><em>During the fifteenth century, popes issued bulls granting overseas territories to Christian rulers.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>A. Dum Diversas (1452)</em></p><p><em>Pope Nicholas V authorized Portuguese expansion and enslavement of non-Christians.</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We grant to you&#8230; permission to invade, search out, capture, and subjugate the Saracens and pagans&#8230; and reduce their persons to perpetual servitude.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Dum Diversas, 1452</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p><em>B. Romanus Pontifex (1455)</em></p><p><em>This bull expanded Portuguese authority in Africa.</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We grant&#8230; all islands and mainlands discovered and to be discovered.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Romanus Pontifex</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p><em>C. Inter Caetera (1493)</em></p><p><em>After Columbus&#8217;s voyage, Pope Alexander VI divided the Americas between Spain and Portugal.</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;By authority of Almighty God&#8230; we give, grant, and assign to you&#8230; all lands discovered and to be discovered.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Inter Caetera</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>VIII. Influence on the Doctrine of Discovery</em></h3><p><em>The papal grants of territorial authority became the foundation for the Doctrine of Discovery, a legal principle used by European colonial powers.</em></p><p><em>In the United States, the doctrine was incorporated into federal law in Johnson v. M&#8217;Intosh (1823).</em></p><p><em>Chief Justice John Marshall wrote:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Discovery gave title to the government by whose subjects it was made.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Johnson v. M&#8217;Intosh, 21 U.S. 543 (1823)</em></p></blockquote><p><em>Marshall&#8217;s opinion acknowledged that European claims were derived from earlier Christian discovery doctrines.</em></p><p><em>Legal scholar Robert J. Miller explains:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The Doctrine of Discovery was rooted in medieval papal bulls granting Christian monarchs authority over non-Christian lands.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Miller, Native America, Discovered and Conquered</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>IX. Conclusion</em></h3><p><em>The Avignon Papacy represents a critical moment in the evolution of papal authority and its relationship with secular power. The development of centralized financial administration, the politically influenced suppression of the Knights Templar, and the expansion of the doctrine of papal universal jurisdiction collectively shaped the institutional trajectory of the medieval papacy. These developments also contributed to the legal framework that later supported European colonial expansion and the Doctrine of Discovery. The criticisms voiced by contemporary scholars reveal that concerns about the legitimacy of papal authority were already deeply embedded in medieval political discourse.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>References</em></h3><p><em>Barber, Malcolm.

During this seventy-year period the papal court relocated from Rome to Avignon, France, operating under conditions widely perceived as reflecting the political influence of the French monarchy. This report examines the Avignon Papacy through a legal-historical framework, focusing on several interrelated developments: the expansion of papal fiscal administration; the politically controversial suppression of the <strong>Knights Templar (1307&#8211;1312)</strong>; the canon-law implications of that suppression; the consolidation of papal sovereignty through the doctrine of <strong>plenitudo potestatis</strong> (fullness of power); and the subsequent influence of these doctrines on later papal decrees authorizing European colonial expansion.</em></p><p><em>By examining primary documents, including papal bulls, council decrees, medieval legal treatises, and contemporary chronicles, this report demonstrates that the Avignon Papacy represents a formative stage in the development of legal theories that later informed European imperial expansion and the Doctrine of Discovery, which was subsequently incorporated into Western legal systems, including United States jurisprudence.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>I. Historical Background of the Avignon Papacy</em></h3><p><em>The Avignon Papacy originated in the broader struggle between medieval papal authority and the rising power of European monarchies. This conflict reached a critical stage during the pontificate of <strong>Pope Boniface VIII (1294&#8211;1303)</strong>.</em></p><p><em>In the papal bull <strong>Unam Sanctam (1302)</strong>, Boniface VIII articulated one of the most expansive claims of papal authority in medieval history:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Unam Sanctam, 1302</em></p></blockquote><p><em>This declaration asserted the theological and political supremacy of the papacy over secular rulers. <strong>King Philip IV of France</strong>, however, rejected such claims and sought to limit papal interference in French governance, particularly concerning taxation of the clergy.</em></p><p><em>The conflict culminated in the <strong>Anagni incident of 1303</strong>, when agents of Philip IV assaulted and briefly captured Pope Boniface VIII in Italy. Although the pope was freed shortly afterward, the humiliation severely weakened papal prestige and he died soon after the event.</em></p><p><em>Following a brief papal succession crisis, the French archbishop <strong>Bertrand de Got</strong> was elected pope in <strong>1305</strong>, taking the name <strong>Clement V</strong>. Rather than establish his court in Rome, Clement relocated the papal administration to <strong>Avignon in 1309</strong>, beginning a period during which seven successive popes governed the Church from southern France.</em></p><p><em>Italian humanist <strong>Francesco Petrarch</strong> later criticized the situation, writing:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Here reign the successors of the poor fishermen of Galilee, yet they have strangely forgotten their origin.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Petrarch, Epistolae sine nomine</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>II. The Financial Administration of the Avignon Papacy</em></h3><p><em>One of the defining characteristics of the Avignon Papacy was the development of a <strong>highly centralized and sophisticated fiscal system</strong>.</em></p><p><em>Historian <strong>Walter Ullmann</strong> observed:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The Avignon papacy perfected a financial system that made the papal curia the most efficient fiscal administration in medieval Europe.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Ullmann, A Short History of the Papacy in the Middle Ages</em></p></blockquote><p><em>This system allowed the papacy to exercise unprecedented control over church revenues across Christendom.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>Annates and Ecclesiastical Taxation</em></h3><p><em>Among the most controversial fiscal mechanisms was the <strong>annate</strong>, also known as the <strong>first fruits tax</strong>. Under this system, newly appointed bishops and clergy were required to remit the first year&#8217;s income of their office to the papal treasury.</em></p><p><em>This practice effectively transformed ecclesiastical appointments into a centralized financial instrument benefiting the papal court.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>Papal Provisions</em></p><p><em>The Avignon papacy also expanded the practice of <strong>papal provision</strong>, whereby the pope reserved the right to appoint bishops and abbots directly rather than allowing local cathedral chapters to elect them.</em></p><p><em>Historian <strong>Eamon Duffy</strong> notes:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The papacy increasingly reserved the right to appoint bishops directly, turning ecclesiastical offices into instruments of centralized governance.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Duffy, Saints and Sinners: A History of the Popes</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>Indulgences and Judicial Fees</em></h3><p><em>Additional sources of revenue included:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>indulgence payments</em></p></li><li><p><em>legal appeals to papal courts</em></p></li><li><p><em>dispensations from canonical rules</em></p></li></ul><p><em>These financial mechanisms generated substantial income but also produced widespread criticism of ecclesiastical corruption throughout Europe.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>III.

However, he later issued the bull <strong>Pastoralis Praeeminentiae (1307)</strong> ordering rulers across Europe to arrest Templars and confiscate their property.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>Dissolution of the Order</em></h3><p><em>The matter culminated at the <strong>Council of Vienne (1311&#8211;1312)</strong>.</em></p><p><em>Rather than formally convict the order of heresy, Clement V dissolved it through administrative authority in the bull <strong>Vox in Excelso (1312)</strong>.</em></p><p><em>The decree stated:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We abolish the Order of the Temple not by definitive sentence but by apostolic ordinance.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Clement V, Vox in Excelso</em></p></blockquote><p><em>The wording reveals that the papacy <strong>did not issue a judicial verdict of guilt</strong>, a fact that has generated significant debate among historians and canon-law scholars.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>IV. Canon Law Controversy</em></h3><p><em>The dissolution of the Templars raised important procedural questions within medieval canon law.</em></p><p><em>Ordinarily, ecclesiastical trials required:</em></p><ol><li><p><em>formal charges</em></p></li><li><p><em>examination of evidence</em></p></li><li><p><em>judicial determination of guilt</em></p></li></ol><p><em>In the case of the Templars, these procedures were effectively bypassed.</em></p><p><em>Historian <strong>Malcolm Barber</strong> concludes:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The order was suppressed without a canonical conviction for heresy.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Barber, The Trial of the Templars</em></p></blockquote><p><em>Many scholars argue that Clement V acted under substantial pressure from <strong>Philip IV</strong>, who was deeply indebted to the order.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>V. Papal Sovereignty and the Doctrine of Plenitudo Potestatis</em></h3><p><em>The Avignon Papacy reinforced the medieval doctrine known as <strong>plenitudo potestatis</strong>, meaning the &#8220;fullness of power&#8221; possessed by the pope.</em></p><p><em>According to this theory, the pope possessed supreme authority within Christendom and could intervene in secular matters when necessary.</em></p><p><em>Legal historian <strong>Brian Tierney</strong> explains:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The theory of papal plenitude of power asserted that the pope possessed universal jurisdiction within the Christian commonwealth.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Tierney, The Crisis of Church and State</em></p></blockquote><p><em>This doctrine permitted the papacy to:</em></p><ul><li><p><em>arbitrate disputes between monarchs</em></p></li><li><p><em>grant political authority over territories</em></p></li><li><p><em>regulate ecclesiastical governance throughout Europe</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3><em>VI. Contemporary Criticism of the Avignon Papacy</em></h3><p><em>The Avignon Papacy provoked strong criticism from intellectuals and reformers.</em></p><h3><em>Petrarch</em></h3><p><em>The Italian humanist Petrarch condemned Avignon as morally corrupt:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Avignon is the sink of the world where all the filth of the universe is gathered.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Petrarch, Letters Without Names</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>Marsilius of Padua</em></h3><p><em>In <strong>Defensor Pacis (1324)</strong>, Marsilius of Padua argued that political authority derived from the people rather than from the papacy.</em></p><p><em>He wrote:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The Roman bishop has no coercive jurisdiction over rulers unless granted by the human legislator.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Marsilius, Defensor Pacis</em></p></blockquote><p><em>This work became one of the earliest systematic critiques of papal political power.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>VII. Papal Colonial Bulls and Global Jurisdiction</em></h3><p><em>The doctrine of papal universal jurisdiction later influenced the issuance of papal decrees authorizing European exploration and conquest.</em></p><h3><em>Dum Diversas (1452)</em></h3><p><em>Pope Nicholas V granted Portugal authority to conquer non-Christian territories:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We grant to you&#8230; permission to invade, search out, capture and subjugate the Saracens and pagans&#8230; and reduce their persons to perpetual servitude.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Dum Diversas, 1452</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>Romanus Pontifex (1455)</em></h3><p><em>This decree expanded Portuguese authority along the African coast.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>Inter Caetera (1493)</em></h3><p><em>Following Christopher Columbus&#8217;s voyage, Pope Alexander VI issued a decree dividing newly encountered lands between Spain and Portugal.</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;By authority of Almighty God&#8230; we give, grant and assign to you and your heirs all lands discovered and to be discovered.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Inter Caetera, 1493</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>VIII. The Doctrine of Discovery and Western Legal Systems</em></h3><p><em>The legal principles underlying these papal bulls later formed the basis of the <strong>Doctrine of Discovery</strong>, a concept used by European colonial powers to justify territorial claims.</em></p><p><em>In the United States, this doctrine appeared in <strong>Johnson v. M&#8217;Intosh (1823)</strong>.</em></p><p><em>Chief Justice <strong>John Marshall</strong> wrote:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Discovery gave title to the government by whose subjects it was made.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Johnson v. M&#8217;Intosh, 21 U.S. 543 (1823)</em></p></blockquote><p><em>Legal scholar <strong>Robert J. Miller</strong> notes:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The Doctrine of Discovery was rooted in medieval papal decrees granting Christian monarchs authority over non-Christian lands.&#8221;<br>&#8212; Miller, Native America, Discovered and Conquered</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><em>IX. End of the Avignon Papacy</em></h3><p><em>Under increasing pressure from reformers and Italian political leaders, <strong>Pope Gregory XI</strong> returned the papacy to Rome in <strong>1377</strong>.</em></p><p><em>However, his death the following year triggered the <strong>Great Western Schism (1378&#8211;1417)</strong>, during which rival popes ruled simultaneously from Rome and Avignon.</em></p><p><em>The schism further weakened the legitimacy of papal authority in Europe.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>Conclusion</em></h3><p><em>The Avignon Papacy represents a significant turning point in the legal and institutional development of the medieval papacy. The period witnessed the consolidation of papal financial administration, the controversial suppression of the Knights Templar, and the strengthening of doctrines asserting universal papal authority. These developments contributed to the broader evolution of legal theories that later supported European colonial expansion and the Doctrine of Discovery. The criticisms articulated by contemporary scholars demonstrate that concerns regarding papal legitimacy and the proper limits of ecclesiastical power were already deeply embedded in medieval political thought.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em>References</em></h3><p><em>Barber, Malcolm.

That conflict is now in the mainstream.  What most people cannot grasp is that this is an old conflict from the past, that is rearing its ugly head now. My reports unveil the parties involved, their skullduggery, and what the consequences of their actions were.</p><p>Again, Pope Leo weilds tremendous power within the church realm, and attempting to run the &#8220;same plays&#8221; that past Pope&#8217;s fell victim to will not work in the modern age. I cannot imagine the realm unheaval that would ensue if something happened to Pope Leo at the hands of a nation state. That would be &#8220;over the pail,&#8221; literally. This is why I believe making threats can be detrimental. Right now the realm knows about this. Is it not rational to deduce that out of 1.5 million people, some are &#8220;extremely,&#8221; as in &#8220;extremist,&#8221; upset at the threats to Pope Leo? Is it not rational to deduce they may get violent? So, the question is, &#8220;Why incite extremists?&#8221; </p><p>This is why I believe the &#8220;threat&#8221; was short sighted. It actually worked in reverse, in the stead of it &#8220;inciting fear in the papacy, or the &#8220;Body,&#8221; it created &#8220;notice and indignation.&#8221; Now the realm is aware. Now the character is unveiled. Now the church will prepare accordingly. There is even mention of Pope Leo cancelling his visits to the states united, that evidences a lot. Pope Leo takes the lessons of history serious. As he should.</p><p>Lord have Mercy</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's Pretend Even More]]></title><description><![CDATA[It'll be

and sundry other &#8220;mind washing&#8221; entities that most, if not all, people run to whenever the latest &#8220;nothingness&#8221; is broadcasted. I get it. People are so &#8220;beat down&#8221; by society, that they rush towards anything that would give them a sense of &#8220;winning,&#8221; even if it is a lie. I mean, &#8220;it&#8217;s fun to pretend.&#8221; It worked when we were children quite nicely.</p><p>One such thing that people are currently &#8220;rushing towards,&#8221; or pretending about,  is the pseudo-win in Iran. From a military standpoint however it is a humiliating loss, &#8220;at this juncture.&#8221; I say &#8220;juncture&#8221; because if anyone believes for one nano-second that the states united and its &#8220;greatest ally in the Middle East&#8221; are going to accept this, then they immediately  should check themselves into a mental health program. For real. When I see or hear someone espousing this &#8220;war win and war end,&#8221; I immediately know they are naive and simple minded, or a deceiver.</p><p>This phony cease fire is so that the states united and its &#8220;ally&#8221; can regroup and plot out another form of treachery. Nothing else. Besides, how can there be a &#8220;cease fire&#8221; when Lebanon is still being given the &#8220;Gaza treatment?&#8221; What kind of &#8220;cease fire&#8221; is that? In &#8220;cease fire the mouth?&#8221; Additionally, since the &#8220;Gaza cease fire&#8221; there have been over 800 people killed by &#8220;the greatest ally&#8221; in Gaza, with the latest being a man holding a toddler while riding a bike being killed with a drone strike. Yeah, that evil.</p><div id="youtube2-6aNhta_xhd0" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;6aNhta_xhd0&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6aNhta_xhd0?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><div id="youtube2-d3kuwAksfG4" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;d3kuwAksfG4&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/d3kuwAksfG4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>The whole reason that the region is in conflict is because of the treatment that the people of the region have been getting from &#8220;that ally.&#8221; Nothing else. What boggles my mind, at the distilled essence is, &#8220;WHAT ARE THEY REALLY FIGHTING FOR?&#8221; Think about it? Why? See, what most people don&#8217;t comprehend is that &#8220;all of this fighting&#8221; evidences two distinct things, to wit, &#8220;A lie, or Apostasy.&#8221; I will explain.</p><p>A &#8220;lie&#8221; is something that is not true. Period. An &#8220;Apostate&#8221; is someone who does not accept religious tradition. Someone who doesn&#8217;t accept religion and has no faith in it.</p><p><em>&#8220;Apostasy is the formal disaffiliation from, abandonment of, or renunciation of a religion by a person. It can also be defined within the broader context of embracing an opinion that is contrary to one's previous religious beliefs. One who undertakes apostasy is known as an apostate. Undertaking apostasy is called apostatizing. The term apostasy is used by sociologists to mean the renunciation and criticism of, or opposition to, a person's former religion, in a technical sense, with no pejorative connotation.&#8221;</em></p><p>Lies, or apostasy? These two things form the basis of the &#8220;whole conflict&#8221; in the Middle East. All people of the Middle East, and beyond are believers in the Abrahamic traditions. Jews, Christians and Muslims. Each group &#8220;supposedly&#8221; accepts their teachings, and have adopted a culture of such, and each group is in dispute.  If the Jews, Christians and Muslims really accept their religion, then why are they fighting with &#8220;God's &#8220;supposedly&#8221; Chosen People?&#8221; Why are they fighting against the expansion and rule of greater isn&#8217;t-real in the region?</p><p>Why are not all regional countries in the Middle East &#8220;helping&#8221; to build the 3rd temple, or helping to expand the land for the &#8220;greatest ally?&#8221; In fact, why are countries openly fighting such? There are only a few &#8220;rational deductions&#8221; that anyone can make.</p><p>The first deduction is, &#8220;The biblical narrative is false.&#8221; If it were true, one would believe that the &#8220;Abrahamic adherents&#8221; in the Middle East would accept it, welcome it and &#8220;help fulfill the scripture.&#8221; This has never happened.</p><p>The second deduction is, &#8220;The people of the Middle East&#8221; don&#8217;t really believe in their own doctrines.&#8221; They have no faith, at least not enough to help establish what their tradition calls for. Their &#8220;faith&#8221; is not evidenced at all.</p><p>The third deduction is, &#8220;The people claiming to be &#8220;of the tradition&#8221; are not actually, the people of the Middle East know it, and since they are not there is conflict.&#8221; This can be the only reason why any of it makes any sense. When something is actually &#8220;ordained by The Source Creator&#8221; there is no conflict. </p><p>&#8220;We need to create a greater land,&#8221; they snicker. &#8220;Alright, we are &#8220;believers,&#8221; they smile, &#8220;happy to help the Chosen people.&#8221;  That has never happened. Nor will it. Again, there is no harmony in the relationships between the people in that region.</p><p>It is all harmony and nothing else when its right.

Things are moving so fast that it is hard to keep up with the realm insanity that is being unveiled. It is insanity, absolutely, and deliberately caused by people obsessed with Messianic conquest and colonization of the entire realm. People who base their entire &#8220;get down&#8221; on religious zealotry, that finds no basis in reality and no &#8220;logic,&#8221; that can be substantiated even in the doctrine itself. I mean, even within the religious traditions that people &#8220;supposedly&#8221; belong to, even there the concepts, &#8220;laws&#8221; they claim, or &#8220;rules of the dogma,&#8221; don&#8217;t even comport with what they have written in their own traditions. &#8220;They make up stuff as they go along.&#8221;</p><p>For those who may have skipped the musing, I wanted to revisit the exact nature of the &#8220;principalities and powers&#8221; that are involved, to preface this issue in a more serious way. I believe a lot of people &#8220;forget,&#8221; or &#8220;take for granted&#8221; the evil afoot, and they believe that they are safe.

Thus far they have not. This is evidenced in the way that the masses accept mistreatment and justify it. For example, when a person openly threatens to destroy a civilization of people, that is an injustice, and in most international laws, a crime. However this does not matter with &#8220;lukwarm&#8221; people. It does not matter because those so inclined will justify the genocide by &#8220;two default settings,&#8221; to wit, &#8220;Messianic fanaticism and nationalist extremism.&#8221; It happened to the American Indians, the people of Gaza, and possibly others in the future. This is &#8220;the sickness&#8221; that these two evils uphold. A sickness that goes unabated thus far.</p><p>Some people of the realm are &#8220;bucking the system&#8221; of baal worship in small, quiet ways.

Think about that? A spacecraft is designed that does not have forward or reverse observation capability &#8220;except by looking out of windows?&#8221; 15 year old vehicles have &#8220;rear facing cameras,&#8221; yet a &#8220;space ship&#8221; does not? One would think that there would at least be a 13 inch screen facing from and rear &#8220;in real time&#8221; that was receiving signals from a camera system with massive zoom capability, right? Nope, none of that. Strange.</p><p>There is not any video from the front or rear that is credible, and the only views are through windows. That makes no sense at all. Even &#8220;space ships&#8221; on Sci-fi movies have forward and rear cameras. On the show Star Trek, from the 1970s, they even had a large screen to view from that was on the bridge of the ship. Captain Kirk was not &#8220;peeping out of windows.&#8221; So it is an insult to believe that an advanced spacecraft would have no means to physically view an approach or departure zone. Even most big rig diesel trucks, or large Class C trucks have that.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Most people don&#8217;t &#8220;double check&#8221; anything. For most over a lifetime the financial cost is staggering. Think about how much revenue is generated, or &#8220;separated from people&#8217;s wallets,&#8221; annually that is based in falsehoods and misinformation?</p><p><em>&#8220;Americans have spent an additional 8.4 billion on gasoline in just 30 days since the start of the Iran war.

Property taxes, mortgages, vehicle loans, student loans, credit card debt, insurance, all and sundry designed to &#8220;chip away&#8221; at the revenue generated, so that the people never build generational wealth, and if they do, it becomes targeted through inflation.</p><p>A lot of revenue has went into the &#8220;space program,&#8221; and that really is my only bone to pick with it.

The phony &#8220;deep space missions,&#8221; the phony Mars &#8220;stuff,&#8221; and the other &#8220;things&#8221; that suck the treasury dry, they should be abated.

Troubling because of the conflicts in the Middle East, and the conflicts within the church. The church has never been free from conflicts within, as evidenced by the history of people within the church who committed, <em>ab extra</em>, or outside of the church, &#8220;wrongs.&#8221; The conflicts that are, ab extra, however are of a far greater concern to humanity as a whole, more-so than any one person&#8217;s misdeeds or transgressions.</p><p>War effects all people of a land, and in the modern age of interconnection, the lands of others as well. The economies on the realm are intertwined like a spider&#8217;s web. What is done in one land may impoverish or starve people in others. This can also be evidenced in what I call, &#8220;covert war,&#8221; or economic sanctions. &#8220;Sanctions&#8221; however are impossible in a &#8220;closed national economy,&#8221; as they only effect imports and exports. Any country that is &#8220;self-sufficient&#8221; will be isolated from them. I covered this recently.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;a0589292-fbe7-4ed1-b88e-a7aa550f02c6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;While most people &#8220;ho-hum&#8221; through their days engaged in cyclones of nothingness, there is a large part of the realm that are being quietly exterminated through the use of financial sanctions.

A conflict that was initiated &#8220;on purpose,&#8221; and not as a result of self-defense. This makes the conflict absolutely outside of church dogma, and since it is, this conflict has been rebuked by Pope Leo XIV.  It really is not a puzzle. How can someone &#8220;claim&#8221; to be doing &#8220;the work of All Mighty God,&#8221; while also deliberately starting a war and openly threatening to commit what some say are, &#8220;war crimes?&#8221; The two don&#8217;t go together, they are like water and oil.</p><div id="youtube2-GC0Hh8LiFng" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;GC0Hh8LiFng&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/GC0Hh8LiFng?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>I know, I know, I know, there are some who can&#8217;t get past the &#8220;bone they pick&#8221; with Catholicism, and the history of it.

What a pathetic situation to be in. All manner of evil happening, &#8220;right in their faces,&#8221; and they are too petrified to even &#8220;fix their mouth&#8221; to oppose it.

In a strange way that statement is a form of &#8220;bowing down&#8221; to whatever fate that awaits. See, men can plot and plan. They can brag and boast.

things that make for a horrific scene. Things that are not new, but part of a generational dysfunction that finds its origin in &#8220;all of the same Messianic stuff&#8221; that most everything else does.</p><p>The Eastern Europeans that have invaded the Middle East since the 1920s have created a &#8220;hell-scape&#8221; for the indigenous people who reside there, in the same way they created such on this land for American Indians in the past. &#8220;It&#8217;s the same philosophy,&#8221; and the same people. Think about that? &#8220;Settlers&#8221; from a foreign land come here. Our people offer to share our knowledge of agriculture, lands, all and sundry. That was not good enough. They wanted to exterminate us and take it all. Think about &#8220;that&#8221; mind? Sharing in Peace and Harmony or taking it all through genocide. Think about that? All the while masquerading as &#8220;Christians.&#8221; Impostor &#8220;Christians masquerading as benevolent, in the same way they masquerade everything else. Like everything else, &#8220;it was just a ruse.&#8221;</p><p>The hell-scape of Gaza, the occupied territories, and now Lebanon, all evidence in modern observation the treatment that other indigenous peoples received in the past. Gaza is a moonscape, over 200,000 people vaporized, women or children mostly, and almost 2 million left homeless. Now in Lebanon over 1.25 million people have been displaced from their homes, and most of their homes have been demolished. Again by people who &#8220;claim&#8221; that they are following their Messianic dictates. &#8220;Dictates&#8221; supposedly from some sort of deity. One can tell a tree by the fruit it bears, so the &#8220;deity&#8221; they worship is &#8220;not a puzzle.&#8221; Actually they &#8220;say it in the mic.&#8221; It has not been hidden.

No level of evil is too low, &#8220;when cloaked in Messianic nothingness.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg" width="1456" height="1165" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1165,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Young harp seal in Nova Scotia, Canada : r/wildlifephotography&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Young harp seal in Nova Scotia, Canada : r/wildlifephotography" title="Young harp seal in Nova Scotia, Canada : r/wildlifephotography" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Ma4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fff654fa3-e8b6-4d6f-93f0-acd7fae8294b_3602x2882.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Personally, I really don&#8217;t want anything to do with anyone who is still &#8220;stuck right there.&#8221; Not in real life. At this point in the historical record, and the recent revelations unveiled in &#8220;The Files,&#8221; there really is no communicating with individuals who see the realm insanity and still support the position in any way. They are toxic, simply because they are profoundly, I believe, suffering from pronounced delusional personality disorders. I mean, these individuals have adopted a dogma, a &#8220;death-style&#8221; that at any given moment &#8220;they may flip out,&#8221; and harm innocent people, or support others in harming innocent people, &#8220;BASED UPON MESSIANIC FANATICISM.&#8221; A dogma based in fantasy and evil. </p><p>They are otherwise &#8220;normal people&#8221; who will throw out all common sense, morality and civility based upon nothing but &#8220;something that is intangible in the historic record, and any record for that matter.&#8221; At any given moment they may get a &#8220;divine vision,&#8221; pastoral edict, or other obscure directive that commands them to destroy others, and that probability is easily evidenced in others of like minds. As seen in the video incorporated above.</p><p>The people have to walk and extremely tight rope with &#8220;those types.&#8221; They are everywhere on this land, and others. The only thing that keeps them in check are this nation&#8217;s laws, and the people they face. In lands where there are no laws to protect people, and the people have been cowed, then the true nature of this dogma is unleashed upon the innocent and the results of such can be seen quite openly. It is a doctrine of conquest in the name of a pagan Babylonian deity.</p><p>There are no &#8220;lowly settlers.&#8221; There never has been. It is another lie, wrapped in a truth, utilized to mind wash people into supporting the lies of colonization. It does not stop, until it does, and when that happens the entire realm will celebrate. Of this I am sure. Most sane people have seen enough.</p><p>Lord have Mercy</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
