If you are a conservative Christian who feels there is a “woke” movement attempting to subvert your civilization out of your hands

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

You feel exactly like a Roman Pagan did 1700 years ago

Christianity was the woke movement of Rome

And this is it’s bizarre story

Christianity was an urban bureaucrat movement

It seized control of the late empires bloated institutions and used them to impose their ideology

This is just like the Woke activists in your government

And just like you – the wholesome rural Roman people did NOT want this

[This is a good thread but the images do not unroll well. I added one editorial comment in the text near the end. This tale is stated simply but the analogy is highly appropriate. ABN]

This thread will list preparations for the release of Sars-Cov-2, which started many months before the beginning of the pandemic

It proves that Sars-Cov-2 was RELEASED INTENTIONALLY.👇🧵

In July 2019, NIH work on a “novel coronavirus vaccine” was underway.

In August 2019, China began stockpiling pandemic PPE, Telegraph reports.

China bought PPE stocks in China and even in Europe!

[Intentional release of a bioweapon is likely. One aspect of that is RNA viruses are too unstable to cause a pandemic with a single release. This would mean that covid would have to have been released again and again in many different parts of the world, particularly in Western countries (it seems) though their measurements of infection rates may account for this by having been more accurate, or fudged, depending on how you look at it. There does appear to have been a real virus. It does appear to have been falsely measured using PCR tests. It does seem to have appeared and “spread” rapidly, probably by repeated seeding in populated areas, which would have been easy to do. The high death tolls seem to have been caused primarily by banning effective early treatment while simultaneously mandating harmful treatments. The sinister aspect of this is corroborated by not advertising the value of vitamin D3, zinc, sunlight, and many other preventatives of serious illness. Much of this has been known for two years. Now, as more information is reaching the general public, we see an economic crash looming, which looks like a huge distraction. Who released the bioweapon, who mandated iatrogenic murder? ABN]

When Christians Were Jews: The First Generation by Paula Fredriksen (review)

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

When Christians Were Jews: The First Generation by Paula Fredriksen (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2018), 272 pp.

BY NATURAL DISPOSITION, I am inclined to follow the (now not so) New Criticism, but Paula Fredriksen has written a book that begs for a good old-fashioned Freudian reading: When Christians Were Jews: The First Generation. The title hides an autobiographical interest, for Fredriksen is herself a Jew who was a Christian. Still more: she is a former-Catholic Jewish historian of early Jewish Christians, who on her last page rejects her own catchy title as a distorting anachronism. “Christians” did not yet exist in that far-away first generation, she confesses, only misguided Jews who thought that they would be history’s last. In the meantime, of course, when the world did not end, these misguided Jews somehow turned into misguided Christians, and the book ends as an ethical thrust aimed at “one of the West’s most sustained fonts of anti-Judaism” (183), namely Christianity, a faith built on layer upon layer of illusion. Lamentable as Christian anti-Judaism surely is, one wonders if a moralizing font of vulgarized ex-Christian “Jewish” anti-Christianism, dispensing seductively packaged speculative historical reconstructions, is what better Christian–Jewish relations really needed.

Jews and pagans in the ancient world — the roots of Christianity

Paula Fredriksen: “Judaizing the Gentiles: The Ritual Demands of Paul’s Gospel”

UPDATE: I had originally posted this talk in five short excerpts. When I had time, I found the full lecture which is the video above. It’s a very good talk for anyone interested in history, history of religion, Judaism, or Christianity. Provides an excellent context for understanding how Christianity was born out of Judaism. ABN

Idaho Senate Passes Bill to Repeal Ban on Private Militias

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Idaho Senate approved a bill that would repeal a state law banning private militias and paramilitary organizations.

The current law that would be supplanted by the measure under consideration forbids “a body of men,” other than the National Guard, to “associate themselves together as a military company or organization, or parade in public with firearms in any city or town” in Idaho.

State Senator Dan Foreman (R-Moscow) is the lead sponsor of the bill and he reportedly introduced the measure so as to prevent the right to keep and bear arms from being infringed by the state law.

“We will unfortunately always have those among us who will break the law and seek to cause unrest,” Foreman said, as reported in the Idaho Statesman. “However, the response to that should be one of due process. Our response should not be based in fear that leads to the abridgment of constitutional rights.”

Voting on the bill almost broke along party lines, with only two Republicans voting against the measure.

UK: Matt Hancock discussed ‘deploying’ new virus variant to ‘frighten the pants off everyone’ as former Health Secretary demands immunity on care home deaths during the pandemic

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Matt Hancock told aides he wanted to ‘frighten the pants off everyone’ to ensure compliance with Covid-19 restrictions, leaked messages reveal, as it emerges he told top London lawyers he should be immune from prosecution just days before the WhatsApp scandal broke.

In an online Q&A with law firm Mishcon de Reya, Matt Hancock accused those prosecuting Secretaries of State as ‘chasing tabloid headlines’ just 12 days ago, The Mirror reports.

It comes as a new swathe of messages from Mr Hancock’s WhatsApp account were revealed today, involving discussions over how to scare the public to limit the spread of coronavirus, and when to ‘deploy’ details of a new strain. 

The latest set of WhatsApp exchanges show Mr Hancock and others discussed how to use an announcement about the Kent variant of the virus to scare the public into changing their behaviour. 

The messages, among more than 100,000 WhatsApps passed to the Telegraph by journalist Isabel Oakeshott, show that Cabinet Secretary Simon Case suggested in January 2021 that the ‘fear’ factor would be ‘vital’ in stopping the spread of the virus.

America’s Buried History of White Slavery

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The best way to forget history is to rewrite it. And in the rewriting, to carefully delete references to any historical events or circumstances we find uncomfortable. Thus, American history books are totally silent on the matter of these white slaves, mostly of European stock with a great number of Irish, but also English and Scottish, who were kidnapped or otherwise forcibly deported to the US as slave labor. In fact, an examination of available documentation indicates that white slavery in the Americas was a much more extensive operation than was black slavery, and the numbers may be severely under-estimated.[1] Michael Hoffman wrote, “Negro slavery was efficiently established in colonial America because Black slaves were governed, organized and controlled by the structures and organization that were first used to enslave and control Whites. Black slaves were late-comers fitted into a system already developed.”

American history texts make reference to what is called indentured servitude, as a kind of “benignly paternalistic system whereby colonial immigrants spent a few years working off their passage and went on to better things”. The myth is that overseas passage was expensive and British and European civilians willingly signed indentures requiring them to work for a few years to pay off the cost of their passage, after which time they would be given land and their freedom to pursue a glorious future in the New World. But it was no such thing. There may indeed have been a few such indentured persons fitting this description, but they were a minuscule minority with their conditions not better than that suffered by all slaves. In fact, their indentures most often amounted to a life sentence at hard labor, and with a life that would be preciously short when we look at the hideous mortality rates. There are documented records of white convicts asking to be hanged in Britain rather than sent to the gulag that was America.

Buddhists ran sophisticated medieval hospitals in Sri Lanka — heated pool, forceps, acupuncture

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Acolossal statue of the Buddha, surrounded by cells for monks who conduct daily prayer services. That might be how we imagine a Buddhist monastery today. But for many who lived in present-day Sri Lanka a thousand years ago, that was what a hospital looked like.

Religious leaders throughout history have sought to care for their followers in various ways, and Buddhists were no exception. In fact, excavation projects in Sri Lanka have come up with the ruins of medieval monastic hospitals of a scale that hasn’t yet been seen anywhere in South Asia—even in India, with its long-standing Ayurvedic tradition. With new archaeological data, historians can now reconstruct these medieval healthcare administrations, endowments, and facilities.

The Failed Empire — The Medieval Origin of the European Disunion ~ Laurent Guyénot

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

…To free itself from the clutches of NATO, Europe has, as things stand, no other alternative than to ally itself with the Russian empire—for the Russian Federation is indeed both a civilization and an empire, heir to the Byzantine civilization and empire destroyed by the papacy. Those who say that Europe should fear Russia as much as the United States (as do many affiliated to the French “Nouvelle Droite”) are even more inconsistent and dangerous than nationalists who long for their nation’s sovereignty. The realist sees no alternative between America and Russia, because there is none. The realist does not give up on Europe, but he is betting that the multipolar world order that Russia is promoting will be much more favorable to Europe than American domination.

Finally, the realist accepts that, despite so many odds, Germany still stands as the natural and legitimate leader of Europe. We can debate on why this is so, but we cannot deny it. It is not just about economy. In its highest achievements, European civilization is German (and this is coming from a Frenchman). Nothing will happen unless Germany has the guts to denounce and the will to resist Washington’s racket, and to form a genuine and lasting alliance with Russia.

After these preliminary remarks, I will now tell the story of Europe with the purpose of demonstrating the theory that the medieval papacy was the main cause for the failure of Europe to gain political unity, and therefore the ultimate cause of its complete subjugation by Washington.
