Since the individualists are obsessed with themselves, they are incapable of making liberty of all their aim. They dem...

Ancient Mysteries No Longer Mysteries: The Great Sphinx at Giza
Harry Dale Huffman, The Earth and Man: Setting the Stage - 14 hours ago
This is another re-presentation, of the answer to the ancient mystery of the Sphinx. I wrote a short article ("The Riddle of the Sphinx -- Solved") at newsblaze.com many years ago, and cited it in a 2009 blog post here. That article has since disappeared, so here it is again: *Egyptologists say the Great Sphinx at Giza in Egypt is 4500 years old, or about as old as the Great Pyramid. Many alternative researchers believe its rain-eroded enclosure and deeply weathered platform makes it older, between 7500 and 9000 years.* *Now revolutionary new knowledge has come to light: Authoritativ...

Harry Dale Huffman, The Earth and Man: Setting the Stage - 14 hours ago

This is, however, merely a poor sequel to what was meant to be a transcendent story of the Christ, or divinely perfected man, reducing it to the hope of any man that his line should continue.* *In reality, the Holy Grail, or "cup of the Son (of God)" is but one example of a recurring motif in ancient...

To get to Net Zero, Andrew Nikiforuk writes, we have to tightly control our borders -- something we have not done: On CBC’s The Current, Kelley Lee, Canada Research Chair in global health governance at Simon Fraser University, called the government’s response “reactive,” because the Indian variant had already arrived in Canada weeks ago. “If there’s a gold standard of how a country can manage its borders to curb the spread of COVID-19, Ottawa hasn’t met it yet,” said Lee. “I’d say maybe Canada is like a bronze medal standard, possibly.” Countries that shut down their borders earl...
