"Earlier this year, the FBI privately warned members of the Orthodox community in the United States that Russia was likely using the church to help recruit intelligence sources in the West. Members of the community gave us copies of FBI documents that had been shared among Russian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox parishes. The documents identify and highlight the activities of a senior member of the Russian Orthodox Church’s foreign relations department whom the FBI suspects of having ties to Russian intelligence. "

There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won the prize for growing the best corn.

One year, a reporter interviewed him and discovered something interesting about the way he grew corn.

The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seeds with his neighbors. "Why do you share your best seeds with your neighbors, if every year they compete with your own?" the reporter asked him.

"Why, sir?" the farmer replied, "don’t you know? The wind picks up the pollen from the ripe corn and swirls it from one field to another. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will constantly degrade the quality of my corn. If I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."

The same can be applied to our lives. If you want to live a happy, meaningful life, you must help enrich the lives of others.

The real value of a life is measured by the lives it touches; it’s the number of people you have positively impacted that shows the wealth of your spirit, the kindness of your heart, the integrity of your character and therefore the abundance and happiness you will enjoy.

We mistakenly see ourselves as separate beings but we are connected through a web of life that sustains us all and the well-being of each one is linked to the well-being of all.

This is the lesson humanity as a whole, still has to grasp, but I think there’s an ever increasing number of people that get it and it’s encouraging to watch.

Are you aware that from 2004 to 2014, ZERO people in the US died from contracting measles, according to the CDC? During this same time, 108 people died from the MMR vaccine, according to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System.

The Global South is Lost

One unanticipated outcome of the recent flareup in the Middle East is that it appears to have put the final nail in the coffin of the Clown World Order by making it clear that the so-called “rules-based order” does not actually have any genuine principles or rules, thereby ensuring widespread global preference for the sovereign […]

ComicsGate is Comics Now

The Dark Herald observes that the independents have completely routed the dinosaurs of the comics industry: Comics Gate is over and the Big Two lost bigly. What was CG has turned into is a revived and hyper-successful indie comics scene. The reason the old indie comics scene petered out was because back in the 1990s […]

The Anti-Nazi Council was a London-based organisation of the 1930s. Initially part of the left-wing anti-fascist movement, it gained political significance when allied to Winston Churchill, though at the time its influence was largely covert.

Between around 1935 and 1937 it was a vehicle for Churchill's attempts to form a cross-party alliance against appeasement of the fascist dictatorships. The group behind it used the noscript Focus in Defence of Freedom and Peace, and variants, and is sometimes known as the Focus Group

"The ADL is like the annoying little kid in grade school who smells bad, picks his nose, pinches the girls, is despised by all the boys, and barely scrapes by with a D, yet somehow believes he is the smartest, most popular boy in the class.

"No American wants to fight for this wicked organization, die for it, or spend a single taxpayer’s dollar on its behalf. In the meantime, one wonders if those supporting Israel are thinking through the logic of their support.

"The Israeli government warned it would target Tehran if Hezbollah escalates the conflict.

"Do those who support the Israeli government’s threats really not understand that the consequence of accepting this reasoning is to justify Russia targeting Berlin, London, Paris, and Washington DC?"

— 🇮🇷/🇨🇳 Chinese Geopolitics expert on Twitter wrote the following:

"From what I know, Iran has now officially activated Beidou despite warning from the U.S.

Beidou is China’s own (and superior) GPS & therefore not under U.S. control.

That means Iranian missiles can be guided by a positioning system that cannot be switched off by the USA."

WATCH: China's six warships are now in the Persian Gulf near Iran.

The Austrian archduke was assassinated in Sarajevo, so Germany must invade Belgium.

Saudi terrorists blew up our buildings so we must invade Iraq.

Sunni Arabs murdered Israelis so they need to invade Lebanon.

It never makes sense.

🏹 🇱🇧 🇮🇱 "Hamas’s Qassam rockets are made from sugar and fertiliser. Their supply is effectively infinite. Iron Dome interceptors are very finite and very expensive. Hamas may be forcing Israel to expend Iron Dome ammo on Qassams so they’re defenceless when Hezbollah launch the big boys."

🏹 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 It is reported that the Destroyer, the US Carney engaged 4 cruise missiles and up to 19 UAV drones with their SM-2 standard missiles.

🔶️ Hitting Israel from Yemen is over a thousand miles and these fit the parameters of Iranian cruise missiles.

🔶️ The engagement of 4 cruise missiles and 19 UAVs with SM-2s presents a concern regarding the ability of a modern warship to remain in the fight due to ammunition expenditure.

🔶️ Carney has 90 vertical launch system cells (VLS). 23 targets would require multiple standard missiles.

🔶️ If Carney is the sole US destroyer presence in the area, then an shooting down 23 missiles/UAVs may have greatly depleted if not exhausted her armament; known as going Winchester.

🔶️ In the past, the US Navy would have destroyer tenders forward deployed to not just provide maintenance for ships, but to reload warships - principally destroyers. But the US decommissioned its last destroyer tender in 1996.

🔶️ This event should give concern about potential swarm attacks on ships and the limitations that modern vessels have to defend themselves against such threats.
