A Mother, Child Relationship - The Wisdom of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 21 hours ago
*Educating - a mother must first establish contact with heavenly lifeBefore taking care of her child, a mother must first turn her thoughts to God and establish contact with heavenly life. For it is not enough for her to look after her child’s physical wellbeing, to nurse it, dress it, wash it, and put it to bed. She must inject a spiritual element into everything she does for it. If she concerns herself only with its ordinary needs, and keeps it away from God, she will turn it into an ordinary child.A mother who truly wants to nurture and educate her child properly, must go ...

arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
After we have all been smoked since 1947, they want us to believe full disclosure is a possibility. How about admiting it is all about aliens? Admiting that we have had gravity control since then and that this whole charade was about smoking our adversaries as well would make a lot of folks a lot happier. One dies not mind been lied to in persuit of a greater cause. The fact is we have had the high ground for decades. Replicating this technology is not impossible when we stumbled into it.

What is Really Going on in America?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
It is enough to understand that a global takedown of the Deep State is well underway. what will happen last is the take down of the MSM. with that we will have open disclosure. The silence is the best indication that it is all happening smoothly enough. We really may have got them all. I do think that the milityary has our end under control My concern is actually the CCP. I still think we face a real risk of faked death. Rounding them all up really entails sending them down to the farm to serve for five years.

arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
By now, you should be aware that the whole faux pandemic MEME is about pushing untested injections onto the whole population to generate the maximun cash flow. Decades of settled science is been ignored it it is inconvenient. I continue to hope that it has been allowed to happen in order to take down the obvious fraud.. What is most offensive is that the MSM is turning a complete blind eye to all this, just as they originally ignored NAZI genocide. Do not think that their sources did not inform them on it all. The press can always find out. *USING HERD IMMUNITY EXCUSE FOR GE...
Why were so very few de Havilland Mosquitoes built/deployed in WWII
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
7800 birds is hardly a few and represented a huge commitment. Way more important is that no one could actually replicate the craft because of the use of impossible to make plywoods without a specialist plywood industry. This became the ultimate shoot and scoot attack craft and inflicted huge losses on enemy assets. This was never a carpet bombing freight train and delivered one 500 pound bomb, but coukd shoot everything up. Think Warthog and Stuka for a real comparible. . *Why were so very few de Havilland Mosquitoes built/deployed in WWII if it was so successful in so many r...

these individuals will form the greatest and the best army of light
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 21 hours ago
1) I only see the futility of the outer self by a scientific humanism, by Marxism, by a perverted capitalism, by manipulations of monopolies national and international. By all of this I see only the lessening of light in the total civilization side by side with the increase of light in the few who have understood the path and pursued it to the best of their ability. Thus side by side in this age is the degeneration spiral of death in the midst of those who have gone astray, destroying their sacred centers by chemical means and drugs and pollutants and thereby closing the door t...

End Vaccine Apartheid Before Millions More Die
SYDNEY and KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 23 (IPS) - At least 85 poor countries will not have significant access to coronavirus vaccines before 2023. Unfortunately, a year’s delay will cause an estimated 2.5 million avoidable deaths in low and lower-middle income countries.

Has Netanyahu’s Iran Nuclear Gamble Backfired?
Azriel Bermant, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Azriel Bermant* *JCPOA, Middle East* The unravelling of the JCPOA has resulted in the erosion of the restrictions that had shackled Iran’s nuclear activity. Israelis will go to the polls on Tuesday for the fourth time in two years, with the future of their prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, hanging in the balance. Public opposition to Netanyahu has only intensified in the past year because of his divisive politics and poor management of the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet his political survival owes much to the public perception that only he can be trusted when it comes to Israel’s secu...
What Will Succeed the F-22 Raptor? We’ll Know in 5 Short Years
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* The rapidity with which the Air Force hopes to adopt their new fighter stands in stark contrast to the lengthy F-35 acquisition process. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Interoperability between allies and service branches may be difficult to achieve. Unlike the F-35, which has been widely distributed between the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and allies abroad, political buy-in may be a hard sell and cause the Digital Century Series costs to balloon. The United States’ premier 5th generation stealth fighters, the F-35 and F-22, still have ...

China Has Found the F-35’s Weakness: Not Enough Missiles
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * The Air Force is fully aware that its fleet of stealth fighters cannot, due to the need to fly in stealth configuration, carry enough missiles to decisively defeat a larger force of 4th generation aircraft. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Nevertheless, the “arsenal plane” concept remains innovative and exciting and has the chance to solve some of the key force structure problems that wargaming and analysis have identified.

Can Dementia Be Stopped Before the Damage Is Done?
Ivan Koychev, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Ivan Koychev* *Health, * Even healthcare systems that are highly centralised, such as the UK’s NHS, are simply not geared up to detect, let alone treat, pre-symptomatic dementia.
