Ormanın Ağaçları Sevinçle Sevinir - MN Hopkins'ten Bir Söylem
*Bu alemdeki tüm yaşamın, sevginin her şeyi yendiği yanılsamasına dayandığının farkına varın. Aşk ne yener ne de yener. Aşk, düzen ve yaşama nedeni getirmek için evrenin güçleriyle birleşen bir duygudur. Çünkü aşksız bir hayat gerçekten de senin krallığında yaşayan bir cehennem olurdu. Çok fazla kişi korku ve ürkütücü duygular tarafından yönlendirilir ve çok azı her şeyin içinde yatan sevinci görebilir. Yağmur damlasının içinde neşe olduğu gibi güneş ışınlarının içinde de neşe vardır. Ormanın ağaçları, alemlerinde yaşayan irili ufaklı her şeyin sesleriyle kendilerine aktarılan ne... read more
עצי היער מתענגים על שמחה - שיח מאת MN הופק
*הגש את ההבנה שכל החיים בתחום זה מבוססים על האשליה שהאהבה כובשת את כולם. אהבה לא כובשת ולא מביסה. אהבה היא רגש המצטרף לכוחות היקום להביא סדר וסיבת חיים. כי ללא אהבה החיים אכן יהיו גיהנום חי בתחומך. הרבה יותר מדי מונעים על ידי פחד ורגשות דואגים ומעטים יכולים לראות את השמחה הטמונה בכל הדברים. יש שמחה בתוך טיפת הגשם, כמו גם שמחה בקרני השמש. עצי היער מתענגים על השמחה המועברת אליהם דרך קולות כל הדברים הגדולים והקטנים החיים בתחומם. כי העצים מבינים שכולם הם חלק מבריאת האל וכולם קדושים בתוכם.* *©* *M.N. Hopkins* *To read the original discourse in English, please click on the link below:... read more

Takeaways From Biden-Putin Summit
On the diplomatic stage, there is nothing to beat Russian-American summits in sheer theatrics. When the leaders of the two most powerful nuclear powers on earth sit face to face, anything can happen.

Auberon Waugh: 20 years since he’s gone
I well remember the January of 2001 when youth was mine and Al Qa’eda was considered a mere nuisance. A political group I belonged to at Oxford invited the scabrous reactionary writer to talk to us. However, Auberon Waugh failed to appear. His sudden death seemed an acceptable excuse. Waspish, contrarian and mean spirited but […] read more
تفرح أشجار الغابة بالفرح - خطاب إم إن هوبكنز
*تعال إلى إدراك أن كل أشكال الحياة في هذا العالم تقوم على وهم أن الحب ينتصر على الجميع. الحب لا ينتصر ولا يهزم. الحب هو عاطفة تنضم إلى قوى الكون لإحداث النظام وسبب للعيش. لأنه بدون الحب ستكون الحياة بالفعل جحيمًا حيًا في مملكتك. الكثير من الناس مدفوعون بالخوف والمشاعر السيئة وقلة هم الذين يستطيعون رؤية الفرح الذي يكمن في كل الأشياء. هناك فرح في قطرة المطر وكذلك الفرح داخل أشعة الشمس. تبتهج أشجار الغابة بالفرح الذي ينتقل إليها من خلال أصوات كل الأشياء الكبيرة والصغيرة التي تعيش في مملكتها. لأن الأشجار تدرك أن جميعها جزء من خليقة الله وكلها مقدسة في ذاتها.* *© * إم إن هوبكنز *To ... read more

Civil War Killer: The Gatling Gun Tore Up Everything and Anything
*Warfare History Network* *Guns, * The first Gatling gun consisted of a cluster of six rifle barrels, without stocks, arranged around a center rod. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Richard Gatling’s legacy did not die with him. In September 1956, the General Electric Company unveiled its 6-barrel aerial cannon called the Vulcan. For several years, General Electric had made a detailed study of every rapid-fire gun, and its engineers had found that Dr. Gatling’s original patents offered the most promise for the development of firepower necessary for fast jet fighter aircraft. ... read more

Poot in the Boot in’ The rise and fall of Edwin Poots Democratic Unionist Party Leader 21 days in 2021
By Fra Hughes… The Democratic Unionist Party was founded by Dr. Ian Paisley. He was an enigmatic figure in northern Irish politics.

Bearing the Guru’s karma
I ask that all of you take a little more cognizance of your blessings than you have in the past. I ask that you intensify your feelings of gratitude for your own beloved country, both America and Canada, and realize that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. And therefore do include the people of the land of China and enslaved peoples of the world in your calls daily. Do not be satisfied to make these calls weakly (weekly). Make these calls with the strength of your light. It is not always necessary that they be shouted from the housetops. This may be quiet, but it i... read more

France's Super Tanks Are Killers for a Reason
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Americas* The French army’s main battle tanks haven’t fired in anger since the Gulf War. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: **The comparative effectiveness of modern tank armor is difficult to calculate, but the Leclerc and the M-1 appear to have similar frontal armor, though some critics argue the Leclerc’s frontal plate has more weak points around its sensors. In place of the M-1’s Chobham composite armor, the Leclerc boasts an unusual mix of composite, traditional and reactive armor that is slightly more effective against kinetic penetrators fired... read more

Inflation is a nominal phenomenon
In my previous post, I discussed how Milton Friedman was right about 4 key issues during the 1960s and 1970s. He argued that interest rates are not a good indicator of the stance of monetary policy. He argued that the long run Phillips Curve was vertical, which means no long run tradeoff between inflation and […] The post Inflation is a nominal phenomenon appeared first on Econlib. read more
Canada - In the most dangerous days it has ever seen.
The latest estimate of aboriginal children killed in their residential schools where they were sent by governments who took them completely away from their homes and families forever is now just over 4,000. They were abused by teachers and by clergy who operated the schools, and their bodies were simply dumped into pits. (Roman Catholic clergy who were responsible for many of the deaths, perhaps most of them, and they have never acknowledged the horror of what they did.) We're yet to take any final counts of the dead. They are probably far above the acknowledged ones. But our g... read more
