Il corpo è stato creato per essere auto-sostenuto e auto-guarigione - Una Citazione di M.N. Hopkins
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 21 hours ago
*Il corpo è stato creato per essere auto-sostenuto e auto-guarigione, ma l'uomo attraverso il suo pensiero limitato ha pensato di sapere meglio del suo Creatore e si è messo a creare un sistema costruito sulla limitazione o autolimitazione che ha portato a malattie e disturbi mentali ed emotivi di ogni tipo immaginabile. Ed è stata l'immaginazione ad alimentare questo fuoco di distruzione di un sistema già ben funzionante.* *©** M.N.

*Le corps a été créé pour s'auto-entretenir et s'auto-guérir, mais l'homme, par sa pensée limitée, a pensé qu'il en savait plus que son Créateur et a entrepris de créer un système fondé sur la limitation ou l'autolimitation qui a entraîné des maladies et des troubles mentaux et émotionnels de toutes sortes imaginables.

Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 21 hours ago
*Het lichaam was geschapen om zichzelf te onderhouden en te genezen, maar de mens dacht door zijn beperkte denken dat hij het beter wist dan zijn Schepper en begon een systeem te scheppen dat gebaseerd was op beperking of zelfbeperking, hetgeen resulteerde in ziekte en mentale en emotionele stoornissen van elke denkbare soort. En het was de verbeelding die dit vuur van de vernietiging van een reeds goed functionerend systeem aanwakkerde.* *© **M.N.

*Der Körper wurde geschaffen, um sich selbst zu erhalten und zu heilen, aber der Mensch dachte durch sein begrenztes Denken, dass er es besser wüsste als sein Schöpfer und machte sich daran, ein System zu schaffen, das auf Begrenzung oder Selbstbegrenzung aufgebaut war, was zu Krankheiten und mentalen und emotionalen Störungen jeder erdenklichen Art führte. Und es war die Phantasie, die dieses Feuer der Zerstörung eines bereits gut funktionierenden Systems schürte.* *© **M.N.

The Problem of Writing History
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
History is similar to mythology in one sense; it is written as the story of a contest between good and evil—with the Godly forces trying to save the world from the machinations of the devilish forces. The historians often let their own political opinions influence their judgement regarding which side of the political contest represents the good and which side represents the evil. In the last two centuries, an immense amount of work on history has been done by Western scholars, but most of these scholars were leftists. This has led to a situation where the leftist movements (communis...

Wake Island: The Most Important Pacific Island You Never Heard Of
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *, Pacific* In the event of a war in the Pacific, Wake Island would be the last American outpost able to get bombers into the air and keep fighters alongside them fueled up and ready to go. *Here's What You Need to remember: *Today, Wake Island remains one of the most remote islands in the world, protected by miles and miles of open ocean. The rocky outpost has been modified extensively since World War II and hosts a nearly ten-thousand-foot-long runway, which can accommodate all aircraft currently in United States service.

After the Spanish-American War, the United States Was Never the Same
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, * On April 19, 1898, President McKinley’s request to intervene in Cuba on behalf of the rebels was approved by Congress. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Spanish-American War made the United States a global power. The defeat of a continental European power, Spain, was a major military accomplishment. The end of the Second World War is often considered the defining moment when the United States became a global power. In fact, it was another war forty years earlier, a war that ended with America having an empire of its own stretching thousands of m...
Undersea Rivalry: How These Submarines Re-shaped the Future of Warfare
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Warfare, Eurasia* With its superior sonar technology, this American class of submarines can’t be beat. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* The United States Navy’s submarine force emerged from the Cold War as the undisputed masters of the undersea realm. The elite, all-nuclear submarine force watched as its Soviet submarine force rivals rusted away pierside, the newly founded Russian Federation unable to maintain them. After more than twenty years of American submarine supremacy, a new challenger has arisen from the deep. Slightly familiar and almost two decad...

Whistleblower Daniel Hale, The Drone Program And The War On Our Right To Know
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 20 hours ago
The United States' drone assassination program is illegal under international law, but the whistleblower who exposed it, Daniel Hale, is being prosecuted under the Espionage Act. Chip Gibbons of Defending Rights and Dissent describes who Daniel Hale is and why his act of leaking information about the program to a journalist is akin to Daniel Ellsberg leaking the Pentagon Papers. Gibbons also places Hale's action in the broader context of FBI surveillance, the war on whistleblowers and other truthtellers, such as Julian Assange, and the assault on our right to know.

Medicinal herbs in the treatment of neuropathic pain: a review
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is a useful inventory of agents that assist in dealing with neuropathy. It is my opinion based of the pattern of evidence that we are dealing with toxin capture from dying cells impacting nerve ends where the toxins have actually accumulated. Diabetic neuropathy is a clear cause effect example in which the cause is impacting the whole body, but with the toxins accumulating in the limbs in particular. I do suspect that toxins will also activate incipiant conditions such as arcthritis. what none of these protocols address is toxin removal which really needs to be bette...

The Geographical subcontinents of Eurasia

This is an interesting intellectual exercise that has real merit. We have long treated India et al to its natural geographical boundarues as a so called sub continent. It has a long historical span alpng with a certain deep cultural homogenity with plenty of objections. what makes it a subcontinent is that it can be studied as a deeply linked super community that is far less densely linked to external geographical regions. In those terms the eastern half of China is obvious as is Europa to the eastern Carpatheans. All these represent approximately 5,000,000 square kilomete...

These ancient civilizations and their thinkers-in-chief were really great and the seeds of many scientific disciplines were created by the ancient thinkers. I have surely often called their activity "science" a few times, too. However, one must understand that it wasn't a "full-blown science" that really works.
