Bob Dylan interview about his bargain with the Devil:
“Why do you still do it? Why are you still out here?
BD: Well, it goes back to the destiny thing. I made a bargain with it, you know. Long time ago. I’m holding up my end.
What was your bargain?
BD: To get where I am now.
Should I ask who you made the bargain with?
BD: (laughs) You know w…[Read more]

Reality of Climate Change v People Believe What They Want to Believe
“If you look at the data objectively, you will see that from the great period of monument building during the stone age around 10,000 BC, there was first a Mini Ice Age that began and destroy much of the rising civilization. But this developed into the Ice Age by 8,000 BC before…[Read more]

Pompeii’s fast food joint unearthed in 2019 opens to public

Pompeii is an amazing place to visit! I remember seeing the remains of a less elaborate fast-food stand when I was there more than a decade ago.

Here’s hoping you get the chance! (No, I don’t know if/when/how travel will return to “normal.”) I regret not visiting Herculaneum back when I was still willing and able to travel.

Isn’t it funny how Mr. Globaloney & Co. always seem to announce their plans well in advance? Even more curious is the fact that so few ever notice.
-
Isn’t there supposed to be a cosmic/universal law which requires prior consent in order to avoid the karmic consequences of actions without consent?
It’s not really surprising that so few ever notice. As Ole Dammegård tells us, the “announcements” are seldom, if ever, in plain human language. Unfortunately, Mr Globaloney appears to believ…-
Yes, it could be that Mr. Globaloney thinks (erroneously, IMO) that he can somehow escape moral responsibility or karmic debt by revealing his plans in advance. I’ve seen a number of thinly veiled announcements in plain language, often in obscure-ish publications and sometimes in newspaper editorials. My speculation is that Globaloney uses…

… yes FiatLux in addition to your observation of so few noticing may I add … and even fewer responding in ways that might counter, or at least slow, the putting into motion the execution of those announcements.

Very interesting, however I find this sentence a bit disturbing:
“The Wuikinuxv Nation, for example, is looking into reducing its annual salmon harvest to support the bears’ needs, she notes.”
Sounds Agenda 21ish to me. What will they themselves replace the salmon with? Farmed salmon?-
Pacific salmon dies after spawning in contrast to Atlantic salmon who does not.

And both are in short supply. There hasn’t been a commercial salmon fishery here on the Atlantic Coast of Canada going back to 1984 in some places.

A Revolting System
“The same was true of the French Revolution. The revolutionaries were not aristocrats, in general, but some of them came from aristocratic families.

The Satanic Nature of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
http://edwardcurtin.com/the-satanic-nature-of-the-atomic-bombings-of-hiroshima-and-nagasaki/
-
Good article, though he has only scratched the surface of that issue.
-
Agreed. Weren’t the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings ritual sacrifices?
The author failed to make two, in my opinion, highly pertinent observations:
1. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were home to Japan’s two largest Christian communities; and
2. 6th August is The Feast of The Transfiguration.-
Precisely… and that in Nagasaki they used the Mother of God Cathedral as their target for dropping the atomic bomb.
-
Indeed. A pilgrimage of remembrance to the impressive Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum is made all the more harrowing by the beauty of Nagasaki and its Christian sites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iRFSc-Ffkk
During Japan’s “Edo Period” (1600-1868) it was a closed country under military dictatorship, rather like North Korea is today.…

I remember stories about drones being used for the same purpose during lockdowns in Europe last year, to catch people on remote beaches or hiking in the wilderness… I think it was in France or Spain. Those soldiers and police are “just following orders” and think they’re going to save their jobs by doing so. In future, they’ll be replaced…
