Were the Corinthians Roman colonists?
When modern Christians think of the people to whom Paul wrote his letters, normally they think of the Greeks. "Corinth is no longer inhabited by any of the old Corinthians, but by colonists sent out by the Romans. This change is due to the Achaean League. The Corinthians, being members of it, joined in the war against the Romans, which Critolaus, when appointed general of the Achaeans, brought about by persuading to revolt both the Achaeans and the majority of the Greeks outside the Peloponnesus. When the Romans won the war, they carried out a general disarmament of the Greeks and dismantled the walls of such cities as were fortified. Corinth was laid waste by Mummius, who at that time commanded the Romans in the field, and it is said that it was afterwards refounded by Caesar, who was the author of the present constitution of Rome." Lucius Mummius was praetor and proconsul around 153–152BC. Julius Caesar: lived around 100BC–44BC.
Pausanias. Greece, Book II: Corinth.

A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster. This was absolutely sabotage, as noted by a day’s earlier “post” in The London Times that said UN workers “joked about turning off an escalator.” The people that did it should be arrested! Then, as I stood before a Television crowd of millions of people all over the World, and important Leaders in the Hall, my teleprompter didn’t work. It was stone cold dark. I immediately thought to myself, “Wow, first the escalator event, and now a bad teleprompter. What kind of a place is this?” I then proceeded to make a Speech without a teleprompter, which kicked in about 15 minutes later. The good news is the Speech has gotten fantastic reviews. Maybe they appreciated the fact that very few people could have done what I did. And third, after making the Speech, I was told that the sound was completely off in the Auditorium where the Speech was made, that World Leaders, unless they used the interpreters’ earpieces, couldn’t hear a thing. The first person I saw at the conclusion of the Speech was Melania, who was sitting right up front. I said, “How did I do?” And she said, “I couldn’t hear a word you said.” This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I’m sending a copy of this letter to the Secretary General, and I demand an immediate investigation. No wonder the United Nations hasn’t been able to do the job that they were put in existence to do. All security tapes at the escalator should be saved, especially the emergency stop button. The Secret Service is involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

WORLD EXCLUSIVE BOMBSHELL: Senior DOJ Epstein Investigator Reveals ‘Epstein Was CIA’ — Confirms ‘R-pes Occurred While Bill Clinton Was on the Plane’ — Says of President Trump, "He’s Protecting a Lot of Other People… He’s Not Protecting Himself, Because There’s Nothing There"
"I’ve interviewed all the victims, There's never been an instance where Trump was on a plane with these kids and the r-pes occurred. But that can't be said for Clinton. And it can't be said for others."
“They [DOJ] didn't want to go after him [Epstein] because he's an asset for the United States and Israel”
"It's not talked about yet but, it's soon to come out that he [Epstein] was a CIA informant."

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE - OFFICIAL STATEMENT
“This individual worked at the Department of Justice as a program analyst over fifteen years ago. He has no understanding of, or access to, the underlying facts in this investigation. His statements should not be considered accurate. It is disgusting that someone would further exploit victims of sexual abuse by fabricating stories for their personal benefit.”

An interesting episode was recorded in the Kramatorsk direction. There, a makeshift SAM of the Kiev regime forces tried to intercept the FPV airplane-type drone "Molniya" of the Russian Armed Forces. In the end, the maneuver failed and the Ukrainian device served as an objective monitoring tool.

IN physical science a first essential step in the direction of learning any subject is to find principles of numerical reckoning and methods for practicably measuring some quality connected with it. I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it ; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind : it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be.

BREAKING: Digital ID to be made law for all adults in the UK.
"The proposals are the government's latest attempt to tackle illegal immigration, with the ID serving as a form of proof of the right to live and work in the UK." So says Sky News.
Unpopular opinion: To the folks saying "we don't have a choice" as they're predictably being threatened with ostracization and inconvenience...
There's always a choice.
It's not pretty or easy.
And it's definitely not fair.
But a line in the sand isn't any of those things.
They told you you'd never enter a shop or go outside again unless you agreed to muzzle yourself and your children.
They told you you'd never work or travel again unless you took recurring injections of an experimental substance.
We didn't refuse a mask or an injection - we refused to legitimise a world in which bodily autonomy was so effortlessly overlooked and the principles of informed consent so deliberately disregarded.
Think about the power dynamic you're validating if you give way to this system.
The goal posts for validity can, and will, be forever moved.
Your ability to proceed in society is set to be permanently entwined with how obedient you've been on any given day.
Don't want to be a proverbial rat in a Skinner box?
Digital ID is the last gate you can rebel at. It is the linchpin for the technocracy that's been planned for us.
So expect to be nudged. To be inconvenienced. To be ostracised.
Expect all the coercion of the Covid op and more as they try to get this over the line.
Know that courage is the price of freedom.
And you'll get what you accept.
