Now that's a protest I could support!

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
I note with pleasure that the "yellow vest" protesters in France have come up with a tactic that will delight many motorists. Members of the "yellow vests" protest movement have vandalised almost 60% of France's entire speed camera network, the interior minister has said. Christophe Castaner said the wilful damage was a threat to road safety and put lives in danger. The protest movement began over fuel tax increases, and saw motorists block roads and motorway toll booths. Some protesters feel speed cameras are solely a revenue-generating measure which takes money from the poor. T... more »

Yes, China Could Sink a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier. But Don’t Bet On It.

James Holmes at Test Feed Using Fields - 17 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Security, * Could China sink a couple of U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and stun the United States into abandoning the Western Pacific? So firebrand People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) Admiral Luo Yang thinks sinking two U.S. Navy supercarriers and killing 10,000 sailors is a splendid idea because Americans can’t stand battle casualties and will abandon the Western Pacific if struck a hammerblow.

Ancient Bronze Age symbol on the mountain above Teotihuacan

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
[image: Ancient Bronze Age symbol on the mountain above Teotihuacan] Let us put this in perspective. It is three thousand years since the global Bronze Age Culture that operated from at least 2400 BC which was its apex through 1159 BC. Obviously that apex needed five prior centuries to become global through multiple voyages, just as ours did.That surely meant ample trade factories and trader lords all depending on copper ingots to act as acceptable currency. This is the society that built pyramids globally and which was echoed in Mesoamerica and elsewhere after their fall.Thus ... more »

Walt Disney as an Elite Occultist

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
I was barely aware of this meme regarding Disney but this item sketches out the details rather well. It hugely explains his continuing access to capital for what was an alternate film legacy aimed at a child audience which remains fully intact today as it should be. He died at the age of 65 and his commercial vision has successfully driven the company ever since. That is because he got it right. What is becoming clear to me is that a wide range of pagan beliefs were preserved through secret societies over hundreds of generations reaching deep back into antiquity. Some of this ma... more »
