Midnight Meme Of The Day!

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* Stone crazy as Trump is, he has an eye for marketing and imagery. He uses imagery very well. The way to beat that is to turn it against him. That's why I made tonight's meme. The White House as a backdrop for extreme fascism. The Eiffel Tower as a backdrop for extreme fascism. Hitler and his henchmen. Trump and his. They are on a tragic trajectory towards interchangeability. Tic Tock. Time to wake up. The alarm has been ringing for a long, long time. The sick irony of Trump and his henchmen walking through a park named after a man who came from Paris to aid the American... more »

Global transition

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
As you may know, i do monitor esotoric sources as a matter of course frrom various agencies. Often what is said is not understood at all and it takes plenty of additional effort to properly interpret. Yet all knowledge is gained in this manner. We just do not recognize the pattern. Esoterics sources often point you in a valuable direction and history is replete with examples that were earthshaking. What is completely remarkable here is that it spells out my central agenda in this Blog. I have posted multiple times that global poverty is completely solvable. The process of... more »

LPP Fusion Redesigns to Overcome Hurdles to High Yield Fusion

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
We have been tracking this technology for years and we are now reaching a threshold in which the whole premise may well become viable. Initially it will also be marginal but that is still good enough. What we will have is a proof of practicality along with a net energy gain. Extendig this then becomes the next phase of project development and that is also likely to be slow enough. It will also be much braver with the use of larger machines as well. some real problems may well be ameliorated by larger scale. Think aircraft development for that story in real life.

Somebody Is Trying To Orchestrate An Internal Uprising?

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Every commnunist takeover has always needed its BROWN SHIRTS whose task is to make the streets dangerous. Of course, Nazism was also a faux socialism clone of bolsevism which also promoted german nationalism, and had zero to do with conservative american economic culture. So here we go again and it all appears to be funded by the usual suspects. So far we do not have good old boys rolling in from the country. Whoever has planned all this and yes it is planned, has kept their identity secret along with source of funds. As usual George Soros allows his name to be on the checks... more »

The Silence of the Lambs: Why Are the Churches Still Shut?

Rob Slane at 22 hours ago
This piece is written exclusively with Christians in mind. Atheists and those of other religions are of course welcome to peek in through the window, and in fact part of me suspects that many who do, though disagreeing with the theology, will perhaps see the points being made more clearly than many of our national church leaders. Never before in the history of the church have so many churches been shut for this long. Never before in the history of the […]

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 22 hours ago

COVID-19 Highlights Indigenous Inequities in Canada

Jeff Denis at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Jeff Denis* *Society, Canada* The stubborn tendency of non-Indigenous Canadians to turn away from “Indigenous issues” and seek a return to “normalcy” remains an ongoing barrier to change. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadians have shown their support for front-line workers. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other political leaders have told Canadians “we are all in this together” and “no expense will be spared” to ensure the health and safety of Canadians. Yet, when it comes to the persistent and glaring inequities facing Indigenous communities in Canada, many of these sa... more »

AdminM at Medical Kidnap - 23 hours ago
Our world continues to change right before our eyes at lightning speed.

Trump Says He "Loves" Alaska But Everyone Knows He Only Loves Trump

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 day ago
In the 2000 election, 167,398 Alaskans (58.62%) voted for George W Bush against Al Gore. Four years later 190,889 Alaskans (61.07%) voted for Bush against John Kerry. Bush was popular among Alaskan voters-- who also backed John McCain (59.42%) and Mitt Romney (54.80%). But Trump isn't well liked by most Alaskans. He barely eked out a majority against Hillary-- 51.28%, pretty sad compared to Bush. And today it was widely reported that Bush had decided he will neither endorse nor even *vote* for Trump in November. Colin Powell, Bush's Secretary of State, told Jake Tapper on *State of... more »
