In this short 10 minute video, I will make clear how a generation of failed artists can only produce a generation of lost souls stuck in a spiritual purgatory. As long as a pile of bricks on the floor is considered art, and as long as our movies are more often than not cash grabbing reboots, then it will remain such that art will fail to guide us to higher ideals as it once did perhaps because it was we who have failed art.

What we need is, now more than ever, art that speaks to the transcendent and the eternal, as it had done for countless centuries. It is time to once again create the very art that can in fact, not only get us through life but guide us all the way, if not beyond.

This video raises some powerful questions.

Was the Renaissance really a great resurgence of art, or did its classicism merely remove ancient art from its context and thus strip it of its true value? What do we really get from filling our eyes with the innumerable simulacra of traditional paintings, sculptures, and architecture that pervade these online spaces? Does this not in reality separate art from Life, turning it into vain entertainment and a mere commodity; would we not honor art far more by instead seeking and creating new art that really expresses ourselves and lives among us, where it will actually serve its highest purpose?

“The emperor’s office was inseparable from the work of the Katechon, with its concrete tasks and missions. This was true of a monarchy or a crown, i.e., of rule over a particular Christian land and its people. It was the elevation of a crown, not a vertical intensification…but a commission that stemmed from a completely different sphere than did the dignity of the monarchy. …Thus, as the Ludus de Antichristo demonstrates (in accord with the tradition dominated by Adso), the emperor, in all humility and modesty, and without compromising himself, laid down his imperial crown after completing a crusade.”

JUST IN - Biden will deliver a primetime national address on a "successful counterterrorism operation" at 7:30 pm today.

CIA carried out a drone strike against Al Qaeda leader and Bin Laden successor Ayman Al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan over the weekend.

He is dead now, according to US media reports.

America: In and out like a rapist.

This is a symbolic victory for the US Government more than anything Al Zawahri was already in poor health and probably had others filling in his positions. That not even mentioning the fact how the US and NATO has used Al Qaeda affiliated groups to do there dirty work in countries like Syria and Libya.

Monke has become.

In all seriousness, it should be obvious that war isn't about assassinating diplomats to create a spectacle for the masses. Attacking Pelosi would have accomplished nothing but give the US what it wanted: a diplomatic catastrophe and an excuse to escalate the war.
China will almost certainly respond in other ways, which is the smart move. Won't say this means an ultimate move on Taiwan, it could happen, but I think slow and steady is still the best play for Russia/China. If it ain't broke...

🇷🇺 The only one who benefited from today's air show over the Taiwan Strait is the Kremlin.

Unlike China, Russia was not afraid to enter into a fierce geopolitical and military battle with the United States of America. The whole world perceives the Ukrainian war in this way.

In the long run, Russia will benefit from any development of the Taiwan story.

If China retreats again, which is more than likely, Russia will receive the status of the undisputed leader of the "alternative" world, capable, and more importantly, ready to use force where it considers it fundamental and important for itself. For thirty years only the United States could afford it.

Around this strengthened leadership, Russia will build new geopolitical configurations and balances of power in various regions of the world - from Central Europe, Transcaucasia to West and Central Africa.

If China does not back down and starts an open political and economic confrontation with the United States, this will ease the pressure on Russia. “There won’t be enough Himars for everyone” —
