Бог не ищет нашего поклонения или хвалы, или благоговения, или страха. Это работа эго или человека. Эго - это ложный идол или бог, и оно требует этого от нас, но не от нашего Творца. Почему ты боишься Того, Кто привел тебя в этот мир с любовью и любит тебя, несмотря на все твои недостатки? Боишься ли ты своей Матери, когда она держит тебя в своих любящих объятиях и улыбается при виде дорогого ей ребенка? Речь идет скорее о любви, заботе и уважении. Мы были созданы по Его образу и подобию. Когда ты смотришь в зеркало, ты ожидаешь, что твое отражение будет восхвалять, судить ил...

* Biden’s new climate chief John Kerry invokes Australian bushfires* * Thus showing that he knows nothing about them. The recent bushfires were bad but not as bad as some others from way back* London: US President Joe Biden’s climate tsar has invoked last summer’s Australian bushfire crisis as evidence the world “can’t afford to lose any longer” and must urgently slash carbon emissions. John Kerry, a former US secretary of state under Barack Obama, is rallying world leaders to bring more ambitious policies to a crunch summit in Glasgow later this year through his role as Biden’s i...
How the Red Army Saved Leningrad in 1941
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The Soviet Red Army blunted a German drive to capture the town of Tikhvin and seal the fate of Leningrad during Operation Barbarossa. *Here's What You Need to Know*: German forces in the north would never again be so close to totally cutting off the city. The men of Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb’s Heeresgruppe Nord (Army Group North) had little sleep during the night of June 21, 1941. Long before midnight, assault infantry and engineers had begun moving toward the border with the Soviet Union, the silence broken only by an occas...

What we think we Know
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
That is the only way to describe all this I can confirm some aspects but only those. The most important step is the elimination of the CCP. The claim that they tried to use the airforce to trigger an event over Taiwan is interesting and looks like desparation. A true military solution would see a million men massing on the Russian border and another million troops from India flooding into Hong Kong to occupy the Pearl River Delta. The North and South Korean Armies suddenly rotating to confront China is also a possibility. All this easily matches the Whole PLA whose best...
Bronze Age Europeans Used Rings, Ribs and Ax Blades as Money
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
We already knew about axe head ingots as an obvious means of exchange. Using rings are also another obvious exchange device. Weight is around the same across the universe of rings and axe heads and actual weight adjustment is easy enough.. It does not really explain rib chunks unless they were simply place holders for calculations. When the weight runs short, you balance the weight with the chunks allowing a weight system to be standardized. That makes the most sense for conducting trade. *Bronze Age Europeans Used Rings, Ribs and Ax Blades as Money* *New research identifies...
Chronicles of a Bubble-Tea Addict
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Bubble tea is still largely an oriental thing. But really, we have lived through a complete revision in the use of first cofee and then tea in North America. Both were industrial grade products used by all for over a century. Maxwell's instant still exists but i can no longer recall buying it at all but we certainly used it. I do recall buying bubble tea for the first time around fifteen years ago. In between we had Starbucks change out our coffee habits and then they paid attention to tea and particularly chai tea. Today we have have a complex coffee and tea culture that ha...
Biden regime to funnel huge taxpayer dollars into baby murdering factories across America
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Let us roll out the incendary headllines. The fact is that the aanti abortion movement made scant headway during the past four years and now the progressives want to use thgat as an excuse to double down.. We have created an economy in which babies are inconvenient. This has led to a political base for the support of a variety of infanticidal practices. The problem will not be properly resolved until we actually correct the economy. Fix that properly and abortion will be as rare as hen's teeth. That is a radical promise, but also a necesaary one in order to resolve global p...

This Legendary Radio Broadcaster Brought the Nazi Blitz Into American Homes
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* As war clouds gathered in the 1930s, a new kind of journalist—the radio broadcaster—began transmitting, and taking the lead was Edward R. Murrow. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Murrow used every trick he could think of to bring the war into American living rooms. On the evening of August 7, 1937, two neophyte radio broadcasters went to dinner together at the luxurious Adlon Hotel in Berlin, Germany. Edward R. Murrow and William L. Shirer had never met before that night. Murrow, newly arrived in London as the European director for the C...

*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* If Israel has to go to war tomorrow against Iran or its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah, there’s a problem. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Ironically, the IDF – which prides itself on flexibility to rapidly adapt to the chaos of battle – bases its approach on the mission-oriented tactics of the World War II German army. Yet despite being a virtuoso on the battlefield, the Wehrmacht’s logistics skills were often lacking: German troops constantly ran out of fuel, ammunition and food during Operation Barbarossa, the 1941 invasion of the Soviet ...

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* San Francisco is often considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* These various nuclear attack scenarios are not set in stone: North Korea could use a smaller weapon, or the warhead might fail to work, get shot down by U.S. defenses, or land in the ocean.
