And this is light--to be an offering as a rose, to be the one who ministers unto life
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 23 hours ago
1) In the name of common sense and grace, beloved ones, you do not wish to do things that will misbrand you as a member of a senseless or ignorant “cult.” While the word *cult* comes from the word *culture* and embodies within it the ancient Chaldean word Ur, which means “light”--hence the true meaning of culture is “the cultivation of light”--it has become so distorted through abuse that mankind do not understand it. Thus they consider the appellation “cult” to be a stigma of the first degree. How carefully our Brotherhood seeks to build a sense of integrity in its members,...

*Robert Farley* *China, Asia* Beijing has long supplemented legitimate transfers and domestic innovation with industrial espionage. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Chinese technology is catching up with America. As the People’s Republic of China (PRC) emerged from war and revolution in 1949, it became apparent that the Chinese economy lacked the capacity to compete with the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. in the production of advanced military technology. Transfers from the Soviet Union helped remedy the gap in the 1950s, as did transfers from the United States and Europe in the 1970s an...

They Shouldn’t Have Died; That Doesn’t Make Them Innocent
Jane Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 1 day ago
* Two weeks ago, Daunte Wright’s death sparked another round of protests and calls to defund/abolish the police. A week later, Derek Chauvin’s trial resulting in a guilty verdict has given the U.S. a reprieve from another round of violent riots. * Both of these outcomes could have been anticipated: every time a black civilian dies in an encounter with the police, the conversation immediately becomes about police brutality and police reform. * While excessive policing is a problem, there are two other aspects to the BLM conversation that are ignored by the mainstream: we will always ...

Robert Farley, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Robert Farley* *Astute-class, Europe* The Astute-class submarines entered service in 2010. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Along with the two Queen Elizabeth–class aircraft carriers, the Astutes represent the core of the Royal Navy’s offensive capabilities. Since the commissioning of HMS *Dreadnought* in 1963, the Royal Navy has maintained a formidable force of nuclear attack submarines. Indeed, HMS *Conqueror* is the only nuclear attack submarine (SSN) to ever sink an enemy warship in anger. But the Royal Navy has undergone a transformational crisis over the past decade, shrin...

Dreadnoughts: These Battleships Quickly Went From Elite To Obsolete
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Robert Farley* *Battleships, World* Their service in World War I was not very consequential. *Here's What You Need to Know*: At its inception, *Dreadnought* rendered the previous battleships of the world obsolete at a stroke. State-of-the-art battleship armament in the late nineteenth century involved a mix of large- and small-caliber weapons. Naval architects believed that most engagements would take place within the range of the smaller guns, and that a variety of guns would combine penetrating power with volume. Indeed, some argued that large armored ships with small weapons...

Israel’s nuclear arsenal is the worst-kept secret in international relations.

Robert Farley, The National Interest - 1 day ago

In the early years of World War II, it looked as if Germany might have the luxury to spend its time developing a new generation of super-weapons. The Nazis haphazardly pursued the idea of building an atomic bomb, with an eye toward eventual conflict with the United States. However, the immediate demands of war, combined with Western Allied sabotage, under...

Robert Farley, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Robert Farley* *Su-27, Europe* The Flanker has proven an exceedingly successful design. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Su-27’s capabilities are formidable. To the West, most of the legendary Soviet aircraft of the Cold War came from the design bureau Mikoyan Gurevitch, which spawned such aircraft as the MiG-15 “Fagot,” MiG-21 “Fishbed,” MiG-25 “Foxbat” and MiG-29 “Fulcrum.” The single best Soviet fighter of the Cold War, however, was Sukhoi’s Su-27 “Flanker.” Intended both to defeat U.S. fighters over central Europe in a NATO-Warsaw Pact conflict and to patrol the airspace ...

This is a fiat that will help you to break the illusions of duality
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 1 day ago
1) History cites endless cases of individuals who have changed their minds at the most crucial hour, when nations and even whole continents might have been saved by the staying power of a handful who knew better but did not do better. It is sad but true that human emotion is easily swayed by shifting sands of mortal opinion. The great value of meditation upon higher realms of Spirit is that communion with the higher conveys grace to the soul and opens the heart to receive God’s love. When the individual cherishes God’s grace and His love he provides the means whereby a divi...
