The rise of cultural Christianity
Why religion is thriving in a non-believing age.
By Madeleine Davies
“In the 1950s, the key idea was that Britain was a Christian country, and secular society was a really bad idea,” said Brewitt-Taylor. “Because if you go down the secular route, you end up with the Soviet Union. In a Cold War context, that was an extremely powerful framing… The predominant belief was that Christianity underpinned a healthy politics and a healthy society. It was considered the foundation of Western civilisation. It was one of the central reasons why the West had been able to achieve greatness, as they saw it.”
At last year’s National Conservatism Conference in London, James Orr, a professor of the philosophy of religion at Cambridge University, made the case that a “constitutionally and culturally Christian nation” offered the best defence for followers of every faith against a “new progressive theocracy”. National Conservatives kept “banging on about religion”, he explained, because they were alive to the dangers of the new public faith emerging, in which “a new priesthood” was “policing conformity to the new dogmas and doctrines of an elite Gnostic theology”.

TIL: The ruins of Diocletian's Palace became shelter for the few remaining civilized people after the fall of the Roman Empire, taking advantage of the palace's robust walls from Barbarian raids. Over time it turned into the city of Split, as people settled and built homes inside the palace walls.

An interesting video of an FPV.
Wagner's guys of the "Aida" group flew an FPV at ground level, leaving it practically immobile and letting the enemy MRAP crash into it.
The constant FPS of 60, at such a low altitude indicates that this is a optic fiber guided FPV.

Another school year, and here we go again.😡 Alabama and Tennessee have already closed schools, impacting over a thousand children, citing the need for a 'deep clean' due to a virus. As schools across the country begin enforcing the same tyrannical, ineffective and harmful measures, we as parents have a choice. We can choose to protect our children's health the right way—with good nutrition, love, freedom and Fierce Immunity. Let's prioritize their well-being and keep them strong throughout the school year! 💪 #ProtectOurKids #FierceImmunity #GetFierce

"Why are many successful — and increasingly younger — Canadians interested in exploring becoming non-residents? Well, there are many reasons, including lifestyle, the cost of living and better job markets and opportunities elsewhere.
"Tax is also an issue. Our country’s personal tax rates are punishingly high and increasing, with the recent capital gains inclusion rate hike and amendments to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Capital is very fluid, so many of the people leaving simply deploy their capital elsewhere. Obviously, it’s not that easy for some.
"Overall, though, the biggest cause of successful people leaving is that they feel that they are being attacked in their own country and are not appreciated for all their contributions. Virtually all the files that my colleagues and I have worked on in the past nine years have involved very proud and patriotic Canadians. Many of them are community leaders and very philanthropic, both with their money and their time."

It's time to stem the tide of successful people leaving Canada
There are many successful Canadians who are exploring or outright leaving this country. Reliable statistics are hard to come by, but tax practitioners such as myself have been kept very busy because economic and taxation policies matter, especially the messaging…

🇦🇪🔵 Pavel Durov's rented office in Dubai, where the head of Telegram moved the company's headquarters in 2017, has been closed.
So far, none of the employees have appeared in the premises, the administrator of the complex told WSJ.
The reporter also could not find any contact information for the company or its representatives in the building's security system, the publication writes.

THE ARREST OF UK JOURNALIST SARAH WILKINSON
"The police came to her house just before 7.30am. 12 of them in total, some of them in plain clothes from the counter terrorism police. They said she was under arrest for "content that she has posted online." Her house is being raided & they have seized all her electronic devices."

Imagine prosecuting a woman for fighting off a migrant rapist.
Get used to it, this will be the norm. Parents have already been arrested in the UK for confronting their daughter's abusers.

AIPAC’s PAC has spent $44.8 million as of the end of July, according to the FEC, with $42 million given to the campaigns of members of Congress and other candidates, as well as to party groups and leadership PACs.
The vast majority of AIPAC PAC’s spending has come in the form of earmarked donations made by individuals in the United States who support the pro-Israel group.
AIPAC’s super PAC, the United Democracy Project (UDP), has spent about $55.4 million so far this election cycle, according to the FEC. More than $35 million of that spending has been on independent expenditures for things like television ads and mailers designed to influence voters, while the rest has been for operating expenses and contributions to other political groups.
