1) Understand then the mystery which is so clearly written in my book. These Watchers came down lusting after the daughters of men who themselves were defiled and entered into the defilement of the holy angels. These daughters of men were the very ones who were the offspring of the Nephilim--Nephilim who had descended even before the hour of the Watchers for the violation of the seed of God. And in their lust for power they themselves took the seed of God and combined it with the seed of animal and therefore produced neither a god nor a man but a devil incarnate, even the ev... read more

Why the Air Force Wants to Keep Its MQ-9 Reaper Fleet Forever*Kris Osborn* *MQ-9 Reaper, * Logically, that’s not possible but the budget boys are going to let them try. The Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone will live to fight another day, or thousands of days, due to a clear service plan to employ the platform for at least the next fifteen years. While this is unsurprising given the number of upgrades the Air Force has performed on the drone, yet there is ongoing speculation amid development of the service’s high-priority MQ-Next program, which seeks to deploy a new generation of warfare intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). ... read more

Former President of Mexico Ernesto Zedillo: ‘The Nuclear Threat Is Back’*Harry Tarpey* *Nuclear Weapons, * “No country alone, however powerful that country is, can do anything by itself; we need international coordination – we need international cooperation.” Although Mexico has no nuclear weapons, its former president Ernesto Zedillo knows their dangers well: “Humanity has two fundamental existential threats.

Counterfactual: Say Hitler Had Thought Better of Invading Russia During World War II?*Michael Peck* *World War II, * One of history's greatest what-ifs. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* In the real World War Two, Rommel's North African campaign was a sideshow to the main event in Russia. In the alternate scenario, North Africa becomes the main event. One of the most momentous decisions in history was Adolf Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. Operation Barbarossa transformed Nazi Germany's war from a one-front struggle, against a weakened Britain and a still-neutral United States, into a two-front conflict.
