The End of The Escapist

The collapse of The Escapist is an object lesson in when SJWs and financial interests take over a previously successful company: When people ask me how to get into games journalism these days, my main piece of advice is “don’t.” I’m really not kidding, as while I am privileged to be where I am, it’s […]

All people will remember about Francis is that he wrecked his papacy intervening to shield rapists and child molesters while maliciously torturing the most devoted and faithful Catholics, so by the end everyone hated his guts. Authors will note pointedly that no Pope ever took the name Francis again

An excellent piece from James Delingpole. My comment:

"So well said, James, and thank you.

"It is only when you have the humility to accept that you may have been wrong about deeply held premises that you can take the first steps toward understanding the truth. The first step to knowledge is to know what you do not know. "I know that I know nothing," Socrates is reputed to have said.

"This is fundamental to science as well. “Thoroughly conscious ignorance is the prelude to every real advance in science,” declared James Clerk Maxwell.

"It's a challenge to break through the conditioning, crawl out of Plato's cave, and look at the world with objective eyes. It's an even greater challenge to go back into the cave and persuade others to set aside their comfortable lies and take a look at what is so obvious to you. If you did it, others can, too, and an allegiance to the good, the beautiful, and the true demands no less of you."

Studies have shown that much of the Levant's current population has been there pretty much for thousands of years. Their populations haven't moved around very much, and this has been studied by comparing DNA from mummies to the current populations.

In other words, it's not like the current Palestinian population there are largely descended from gulf invaders who settled the region or something like that. They're the people who have always been there.

The Palestinian population are very likely descended from the ancient populations of that region, which would include Judeans, Samaritans, etc who lost their Jewishness over time, most of which presumably converted to Christianity under Roman or Byzantine rule, and then most converted to Islam under the rule of the various Islamic regimes who ruled over there after Byzantium lost it, and just became Arabs, assimilating into the Arab culture that those Islamic regimes forced on them.

Cool it down a bit with the sacrifices

📝32nd day of war, Gaza ground status:

Very slow advances overall with some retreats in the northern area.

• In the north, IOF started an intense advancement towards Al-Shati, but got ambushed & trapped by the resistance receiving heavy blows.

• Ongoing clashes west of Beit Lahia, no advancements

• South of Gaza City, ongoing clashes in the Tal al-Hawa area. The IOF claims to have secured the coastline, but it’s merely a confrontation zone, not secured.

• No advancements in Beit Hanoun
The israeli regime tries to secure the coastline but has been unsuccessful in doing so. It’s important to note that these areas are shelled both by air & sea while ground troops try to advance.

• Approximately 113 israeli tanks, APCs and bulldozers have been damaged/destroyed

Exactly what you would expect to happen, happens.

Germany did a study: they found ZERO healthy children aged 5 to 11 who died of COVID-19.

On the other hand, Dr. William Makis has found 68 children who died unexpectedly after the shot.

We sacrificed children — and no one's going to jail for it.

Jan Smuts on the Treaty of Versailles (1919)

"I think the two cardinal errors in policy of this Treaty are the long occupation of the Rhine, and the enlargement of Poland beyond anything which we had contemplated during the war. These two errors are full of menace for the future peace of Europe, and I urge that every means be taken to remove them before it is too late."

"We should be careful to eliminate from it all trace of petty spite and ill-feeling, which cannot serve so great a cause as ours, nor promote the interests of future goodwill and peace."

"You may strip Germany of her colonies, reduce her armaments to a mere police force and her navy to that of a fifth-rate power; all the same in the end if she feels that she has been unjustly treated in the peace of 1919 she will find means of exacting retribution from her conquerors."

"We cannot destroy Germany without destroying Europe. We cannot save Europe without the cooperation of Germany."

"Under this Treaty Europe will know no peace."
