My opinion, based on my contacts with Steiner folks many years ago: Theosophy is a kind of Gnosticism, and was very interesting to me at the time, but after finding out more about the Greek Fathers and such I acquired a more balanced view of the sources. The Waldorf schools are, of course, based on Steiner’s teachings, but my impression was that the teachers didn’t really know too much about the esoteric stuff so much as the practical pedagogy being employed. I would probably prefer it for my children over, say, government schools (if I could afford it), but would keep an eye on things. They have their quirks, which aren’t necessarily bad, such as approaching mathematics via spherical geometry, which is kind of cool (and they get to draw pretty pictures).
"...There was a time when the Jews almost "ran" the Army of the Cumberland, as they have to some extent almost every other. But it is hard to discriminate between Jews and the Gentiles in such matters. Sometimes I have thought that, expert as the Jews ever and everywhere are, the Gentiles frequently got ahead of them -- a fact that suggests a state of things where, one would suppose, the Government and honest men stood a very small chance."
Yes, the April launch resulted in serious damage to the launch pad. This time, the launch pad fared much better.
Still: I don't understand how Starship is expected to lift off from the Moon and Mars without a great deal of debris affecting everything around it. Or do I not understand the mission profiles?
In my “neighborhood,” most of the postings are “does anyone know this dog that’s running around?” or “Help, my kitty hasn’t been seen since last night!”
The Ukrainian government is following the Bolshevik playbook very closely: set up a fake church, declare anyone who doesn’t join it an “enemy of the people,” start demolishing church buildings, arrest priests and bishops on phony charges, etc., etc.
Constantinople is on board with this, just as they were when the Bolsheviks did it,
The so-called Orthodox Church of Ukraine is fake, ...a totally political creature.
The "church" created by the US State Dept., Ukrainian government, and Black Bart is literally a page out of the Bolshevik playbook. The Bolshevik's also created a fake church while persecuting the Russian Orthodox. Back then, Constantinople also recognized the Communist "church" -- anything to put the Russian Church down.
Zelensky is a Russian-speaking Ukrainian Jew, while Met. Onufriy is a Unkrainian-speaking Christian. The pathetic attempts to insist that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is some kind of Putin army are founded on nothing but bigotry.
“This new information suggests that the FBI’s use of its law enforcement capabilities to intrude on American’s First Amendment rights is more widespread than initially suspected,” House Republicans wrote in a letter sent to Wray on Wednesday.
"Suggests"??? Yeah, the "opposition party" isn't going to do anything. But it's a sternly-worded memo, at least.
