I was reading an article on dementia and came across an interesting admission that race is real from the scientific community.
It is always Godly to speak the truth, it is always a sin to go along with a lie. Our ability to care for people largely depends on not building on top of a foundation made of lies.
“The study stands out because it focuses on Asian populations, an area that has been underrepresented in Alzheimer's research. Most existing studies have concentrated on Caucasian participants, which may limit how broadly their findings apply.
The NTU team examined nearly 1,000 people in Singapore from different ethnic backgrounds that reflect the country's population.
Research has shown that dementia does not affect all ethnic groups in the same way, making region specific studies essential.
"For example, among Caucasians with dementia, past studies show that the prevalence of a major risk gene, apolipoprotein E4, linked to Alzheimer's is around 50 to 60 percent. But among Singapore dementia patients, it is less than 20 percent," said Assoc Prof Kandiah, who is also Director of the Dementia Research Centre “

Another interesting study shows that losing their connection to religion was a driving reason for deaths of despair which coupled with the opioid crisis lead so many White men to their death through deliberate suicide or overdoses.
“A major rise in deaths of despair began years before the opioid crisis, closely tracking a decline in church attendance. Researchers suggest that losing religious participation meant losing meaning, identity, and community—factors that may quietly protect health. Credit: Shutterstock
A new study suggests that falling participation in organized religion among middle-aged white Americans with lower levels of education may have contributed to the rise in so-called "deaths of despair." These deaths include fatalities linked to drug overdoses, suicide, and alcoholic liver disease.”

They begged to be let in. The Romans said yes. Within two years, the emperor would be dead and the empire would begin its collapse.
Year 376 AD. The Danube River.
On one side: the Roman Empire, the most powerful civilization on Earth, controlling everything from Britain to Egypt.
On the other side: tens of thousands of desperate Goths—the Thervingi and Greuthungi tribes—fleeing something even the Romans feared.
The Huns.
The Goths massed along the river's edge, families with children, warriors, elders. Behind them, the Huns were coming—a mounted force so terrifying that entire nations abandoned their homelands rather than face them.
The Goths sent messengers to Emperor Valens with a desperate plea: Let us cross. Let us enter the empire. We'll serve you. We'll fight for you. Just save us.
The Romans had handled situations like this before. They had a system. A very specific system that had worked for centuries.
When foreign tribes sought refuge in the empire, the Romans would allow them in—but only after following strict protocols:
Disarm them completely.
Separate the tribe into smaller groups.
Scatter them across distant provinces.
Require them to provide soldiers to Roman legions.
Make them renounce their tribal loyalties.
These rules had protected Rome from internal threats for generations. Follow them, and refugees became productive citizens. Ignore them, and refugees became armies.
Emperor Valens agreed to let the Goths cross.

Then everything that could go wrong did.
Mistake One: The Roman commanders at the border didn't disarm the Goths as they crossed.
Mistake Two: They didn't limit how many could cross. Tens of thousands poured over the Danube—soon outnumbering the Roman soldiers stationed there.
Mistake Three: They didn't separate the tribes. The Goths remained unified, organized, dangerous.
Mistake Four: There wasn't enough food. The region couldn't support the sudden population surge. People were starving.
Some Roman officials saw an opportunity.
They began requiring Goths to sell their own children as slaves in exchange for food. One dog for one child. That was the going rate.
Families had to choose: watch your children starve, or sell them into slavery for enough food to survive another week.
Meanwhile, Goths who hadn't been granted permission to cross saw the chaos. They saw Roman forces overwhelmed. They saw their kinsmen crossing safely.
So they crossed too. In waves. Unauthorized. Unstoppable.
The Romans couldn't do anything about it. They were outnumbered, undersupplied, and losing control fast.
The local Roman commander, panicking, came up with a plan.
He invited the two Gothic tribal leaders—Fritigern and Alavivus—to a banquet. A gesture of goodwill. A diplomatic dinner to discuss the situation.
It was a trap.
When the chiefs arrived, Roman soldiers arrested them. The commander held them hostage, thinking this would force the Goths to calm down and accept Roman authority.
It had the opposite effect.
The Goths exploded in rage. Riots broke out across the region. What had been a refugee crisis became an armed rebellion.
The Roman commander, realizing his mistake, tried to fix it by releasing one of the captured chiefs—Fritigern—hoping he'd calm his people.
That was the final mistake.
Once released, Fritigern didn't calm anyone. He took command—not just of his own tribe, but of the other Gothic tribe as well. He united them into a single force.
Then he attacked.
The Goths overwhelmed the Roman forces. They swept across the region, killing soldiers and civilians alike. A Roman historian described it:
"Everything was consumed in an orgy of killing and burning that paid no regard to age or sex."
Entire towns were destroyed. Thousands—tens of thousands—died.
Emperor Valens had no choice. He marched his army north to restore order.
August 9, 378 AD. Adrianople (modern-day Turkey).
The Roman army met the Gothic forces in battle.
It was a massacre.
The Goths destroyed two-thirds of the Roman army. Among the dead: Emperor Valens himself.
The emperor who had agreed to let the Goths in was killed by the people he'd tried to save.
The new Roman leadership had no choice. They couldn't defeat the Goths. They couldn't expel them.
So they made a treaty.
The Goths were allowed to remain in the empire. Not scattered. Not separated. Not disarmed.
They stayed as a unified, autonomous tribe—living inside Roman territory but answering to their own chiefs.
It was unprecedented. It was dangerous. And it set a precedent that would destroy the empire.
Within decades, other tribes would demand the same arrangement. The empire's borders became meaningless. Roman authority eroded.
In 410 AD—just 32 years after Adrianople—Goths under Alaric would sack Rome itself, the first time the city had fallen to foreign invaders in 800 years.
In 476 AD, the Western Roman Empire officially collapsed.
The cascade had started in 376 with one decision: let them in.
But the disaster wasn't inevitable. If Roman commanders had followed the established protocols—disarm, separate, integrate—the Goths would have become productive citizens like countless refugee groups before them.
Instead, a series of cascading failures turned desperate refugees into a conquering army.
They failed to disarm them.
They failed to limit their numbers.
They failed to separate them.
They failed to feed them, then exploited their starvation.
They failed to keep control of the border.
They arrested the chiefs, thinking it would help.
They released one chief, thinking that would help.

Each mistake made the next disaster inevitable.
One bad decision after another until an empire that had lasted 1,000 years began its terminal decline.
The Goths didn't destroy Rome by being stronger. They destroyed Rome because Rome destroyed its own systems—the protocols that had protected the empire for centuries.
Sometimes civilizations don't fall to outside enemies. They fall because they stop following the rules that made them strong in the first place.
376 AD. Desperate people begged for help at the Danube River.
Two years later, the emperor was dead.
One hundred years later, the Western Roman Empire was gone.
All because when the moment came to follow the system that had worked for centuries, Rome didn't

The Halo video game was a major part of the childhood of so many people. This alone should’ve guaranteed that a show in this universe would have seen massive success.
This is probably why they decided to include ridiculous nonsense. In one scene a black albino homosexual who is disabled (blind) is handed a grenade launcher and participates usefully in a battle.
Probably the most annoying part of the series is the pajeeta. That ridiculous quick e mart voice ruins the immersion.

Diversity would have worked a lot better if they stuck to races that were not so disruptive. The presence of blacks and increasingly Indians and Arab Muslims makes it hard for the lie to take root in all but the most indoctrinated and feeble minds.
Many people are playing along as a condition of existing in society in relative peace, waiting and hoping for the moment something changes.
Every sticker, every march, every major event groups like Patriot Front carry out make this future seem more plausible in the minds of Americans.

40 year old man assaulted a minor, well the black fatigue got to him and he came back later with a rifle and decided that Melvin Rogers had assaulted his last White boy.
It’s sad that this kid is going to get 40 years because black people think they can do whatever they want up to and including assault of a minor if they just claim he said the forbidden word.

Today we remember Saint Lucian of Antioch. During his trial and final days of imprisonment, Lucian famously refused to provide personal details, asserting his identity solely through his faith:
"I am a Christian." (Repeated in response to questions about his name, family, and origin).
"Surround me and be the Church." (Spoken to fellow prisoners while preparing for his final Eucharist).
"Place them on my chest, let it be a living altar for the Living God!" (Said while consecrating the bread and wine on his own chest while bound in prison).
On the Word of God: "The word of God is called in holy noscripture, Light, because it distinguisheth between good and evil, and, like a lamp, manifesteth the path which we are to choose...".
On Prayer and Reform: "We must pray that God would enable us to search out and discover our own hearts, and reform whatever is amiss in them"
On Miracles and Death: "Look at how the pagans fear us... let them look in the history books and they will see the miracles which inevitably follow our deaths at their hand".

First reading
1 John 4:19-5:4
Those who love God must also love their brother and sister.
Beloved, we love God because he first loved us. If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. This is the commandment we have from him: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God, and everyone who loves the Father loves also the one begotten by him. In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith.

Interesting passage about the journey Father White took from Britain to Maryland. It’s awe inspiring to meditate on how brave the early settlers were, how fraught with danger was the passage to America.
English Jesuit missionary (1579–1656) known as the "Apostle of Maryland"
“even of the Sailors, who confessed they had seen ships cast away with
less violence of weather, all the Catholics fell to prayer,
Confessions, and vowes, and then the helme being bound
and ship left without sail or government to the winds and waves, floated at hull like a dish till God were pleased to take
pity vpon her: thus we were in fear of imminent death all
this night never looking to see day in this world, till at
length it pleased God to send some ease, and by little and
little still more, till we were with milder weather freed from
all those horrors: this delivered in a manner assured us
of Gods mercy towards us his holy Goodness be forever praised, Amen”

An excerpt about the first Indians Father Andrew White met on his journey to Maryland
A Brief Relation of the Voyage Unto Maryland
By Father Andrew White 1634
“2 Canoes, of starknaked Indians came paddling aboard us, with paruats, pumpkins, muskmellons watermellons and the like to exchange with us; they much feared at first the greatnesse of our ship, ;
we put out a white flag of peace, yet they
desired we would put forth our nations proper colours, which
done, they perceived whence we were, and then boldly came
aboard: this people is bigger then ours, and fat and tawney
coloured with ointments and oils;
they are a fierce nation, feeding on
mans flesh wthout all knowledge of God,”

As long as liberals are talking about getting justice for a woman murdered by law enforcement, Vicky Weaver was unarmed and holding her baby in her doorway when FBI Sniper Lon Horiuchi took a shot and murdered her.
Lon was treated as a hero despite this disgusting act and his role in Waco. To this day no one knows where they hid Lon and how he got to live out the rest of his life in peace after murdering an unarmed woman holding her child on her property in front of her husband and children.
Liberals don’t care about Vicky because she’s not one of them. Tell her story to a liberal and see if they have an ounce of compassion in their eyes. It’s just us vs them, there’s no point in debating or trying to reason with them.
A liberal is like a toddler with a knife, you don’t debate the toddler, it is not equipped to debate. You just take the knife away for its own good before it can hurt itself or someone else. That’s how society should treat the mental illness of liberalism
