"I feel like Cynthia Erivo didn’t get the memo. She seems to think it’s still 2021 and the world gives a shit about rich-people problems. ‘It isn’t easy’, the Wicked star told a roomful of well-heeled LGBT activists in LA last week. She was wearing a sombre look and a Dior dress that cost more than all the clothes you’ve ever owned. I don’t need to tell you she wasn’t talking about soaring energy bills or war in Europe. No, what’s ‘not easy’ is that this obscenely rich star of stage and screen sometimes has to remind people to use they / them pronouns for ‘nonbinary’ people." #BrendanONeill #NonBinary #Leftism #Wokeism

Einen Punkt haben wir noch garnicht betrachtet: Die Konkurrenz der Unternehmen und Staaten um lohnende Geschäfte in aller Welt. In dieser Konkurrenz setzen die Staaten/Unternehmen mit den konkurrenzfähigsten Kosten die Latte für alle anderen und der Wettlauf für die Eigentumslosen nach unten wird mit aller Kraft neu entfacht.In dieser Abteilung kann man auch die Milliarden für Aufrüstung verbuchen, die mit Sicherheit die Armutsspirale weiter anheizt. Und die Linke hat mitgestimmt😃😃😃

If you haven't figured it out, a Tariff is a TAX. Stop supporting Murder, Theft and Slavery. Stop being a DUMBASS
Tariffs had nothing to do with eliminating the US debt, tariff revenue was never near enough to impact on the national debt
Tariffs were not just an economic issue but a catalyst for the political and cultural divisions that ultimately fractured the nation
Tariffs were a primary long-term factor in the North-South divide, contributing to the economic and political rift that ultimately led to the Civil War.
The tariffs fueled sectional tensions by favoring Northern industries and harming the Southern economy, which relied on exports. Southern outrage led to the Nullification Crisis, deepening mistrust. While not the sole cause, tariffs were a primary long-term factor in the North-South divide, contributing to the economic and political rift that ultimately led to the Civil War.
The North’s true motive in waging the Civil War was not to abolish slavery, but to forcibly prevent the Southern states from leaving the Union and to maintain federal control over Southern markets and resources
The North’s use of war to stop secession revealed the coercive nature of the federal government. The North’s actions were about power and economic control, not justice or liberty.
Tariffs were a primary factor in the long-term buildup of sectional animosity. By consistently favoring Northern industrial interests and harming the Southern export economy, tariffs contributed to the sense of Southern victimization and the broader crisis of Union. The repeated tariff disputes-culminating in the Nullification Crisis and the Morrill Tariff-were key episodes in the chain of events that led to secession and war

Bürgerrat fordert von Faeser: Correctiv soll „Desinformation“ in Politiker-Aussagen kennzeichnen
Der #Bürgerrat Forum gegen #Fakes will, dass die #Bundesregierung Desinformation bekämpft und Nutzer sanktioniert. Die Teilnehmer ließen sich vom #Verfassungsschutz beraten.
Schnell mal einen Post auf Instagram oder X abzusetzen, sollte verboten werden – zumindest wenn es nach den Mitgliedern des Bürgerrats Forum gegen Fakes geht. In einer Welt, die von #Falschmeldungen und #Desinformation überschwemmt wird, braucht es nach Meinung der 139 Teilnehmer „eine angemessene #Bedenkzeit“ von zwei bis fünf Minuten. Im Anschluss soll eine Künstliche Intelligenz (#KI) den Inhalt des Postings überprüfen und auf „sensible Themen“ wie „Migration“ anspringen. Verstößt der Verfasser gegen bestimmte #Vorgaben, die noch definiert werden müssen, wird der Post nicht veröffentlicht.
Das ist eine von insgesamt 15 #Politikempfehlungen, die die Mitglieder des #Bürgerrats in einem Gutachten „zum Umgang mit Desinformation“ zusammengetragen haben. Zu den Vorschlägen gehören auch ein #Meldeportal und die #Strafverfolgung von Personen, die Desinformationen verbreiten. Nur Ideen, die sowieso nicht umgesetzt werden?

The #Mandeans claim to be the original followers of #John the #Baptist, who fled the land #Holy Land in the first century and claim to have preserved traditions independent of the emerging Christian Church in the subsequent centuries. In June 1999, I was privileged to be a part of a unique conference at Harvard University, sponsored by ARAM, at which, a group of these #ancient #Mandean #priests and laypersons demonstrated their practice of "baptism" (Masbuta) in the Charles River in Boston. This was the first time a full Mandean baptism was performed outdoors with two officiating priests in the United States. It marked a truly historic event.
This exclusive #footage, created by Jesse Buckley, son of noted Mandean scholar, Jorunn Jacobsen Buckley, Emeritus Professor at Bowdoin College, is used with permission of the Buckleys.
Most important, I am publishing a full commentary on the video as a guide to understanding the complexities of these ancient practices provided by Prof. Buckley. You may access it at the link below, along with further important resources for understanding Mandeanism and its ancient connections to John the Baptist.
Mandaeans revere John the Baptist and practice frequent baptism (masbuta) as a ritual of purification, not of initiation. They are possibly one of the earliest peoples to practice ritual baptism.
[3]Mandaeans undergo baptism on Sundays (Habshaba), wearing a white sacral robe ( #rasta). Baptism for Mandaeans consists of a triple full immersion in water, a triple signing of the forehead with water and a triple drinking of water.
The priest (rabbi) then removes a ring made of myrtle (klila) worn by the baptized and places it on their forehead. This is then followed by a handshake (kušṭa - hand of truth) with the priest. The final blessing involves the priest laying his right hand on the baptized person's head.[4]: 102
Living water (fresh, natural, #flowing #water, called mia hayyi)[4] is a requirement for baptism, therefore can only take place in rivers. All #rivers are named Jordan (yardena) and are believed to be nourished by the World of Light. By the river bank, a Mandaean's forehead is anointed with sesame oil (misha) and partakes in a communion of sacramental bread (pihta) and water. Baptism for Mandaeans allows for salvation by connecting with the World of Light and for forgiveness of sins.[5][6]
[7]Although masbuta rituals are typically held only in the presence of Mandaeans, a historic commemorative masbuta ceremony was held at the 13th conference of the ARAM Society (titled "The Mandaeans"), which took place during 13-15 June 1999 on the banks of the Charles River at Harvard University.[8]

High priests of Mandeans are called “Nazarene” which means righteous Mandean who keep the law and secret knowledge. the title of Jesus therefore was not “Jesus of Nazareth” but “Jesus the Nazarene”. They revere John the Baptist but consider Jesus a fallen student of him. Jesus misused the secret teachings who were given to him by John the Baptist. Since it’s also in Bible that John the Baptist and Jesus were related ( probably cousins), they were in the sect of Nazarenes , John the Baptist as High Priest or higher rank than Jesus.
Interestingly Mandeans work a lot with astronomy, astrology and constellations. Bible nativity story of Star of Bethlehem and three wise man from east actually allegory of star constellation which can be observed on 25th of December. Also some other symbolism like fish, fisher man ( sign of Pisces), Virgin Mary ( sign of Virgo- the virgin) even the city of Bethlehem ( Beth: house, Lehem: bread ; house of bread which also symbolizes the sign of Virgo). It seems to me that Jesus was a follower of the Mandean High priest John the Baptist, and gain some early followers from this group but rest of the Mandeans condemned him and only accepted John as a holly personality.
Some things are best left unanswered.
