Sunday morning music
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 16 hours ago
It's Easter Sunday in most of the Western world, so I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite memories from my days as an active pastor. The "Exsultet" is an ancient chant of rejoicing and praise for the resurrection of Christ. "The regularity of the metrical cursus of the Exsultet would lead us to place the date of its composition perhaps as early as the fifth century, and not later than the seventh. The earliest manuscript in which it appears are those of the three Gallican Sacramentaries: -- the *Bobbio Missal* (seventh century), the *Missale Gothicum* and the *Missal...

NO GLOBAL WARMING : Global Temperature Now 0.01 Degrees Below Average

SOME might argue that the latest global temperature, as measured by x15 NASA/NOAA AMSU (advanced microwave sounding unit) satellites, measuring literally every square inch of the lower troposphere (the exact place where ‘man-made global warming’ is supposed to occur) might be an anomaly caused by the de-industrialisation experiment carried out during draconian COVID-19 lockdowns.

The Dangerous Alignment of Forces on the World Chessboard

The center of gravity of the world economy and power has shifted back from the North Atlantic to Asia, the brief, supposedly unipolar moment of absolute and incontestable hegemony is over, and clear signs of this are represented by the re-emergence of Russia as a major player on the world stage, and the blossoming of China as the great superpower of the 21st century; in addition to the emergence of regional powers and political processes that are betting on sovereignty and self-determination without submitting to the vassalage or absolute domination of U.S. power, its allies, and th...

* Leftist Segregation Trends Are Racist* Racism is bad but segregation is good? Growing up, I learned that someone was being “racist” when they treated certain people differently based on the color of their skin or ethnicity — and especially when excluding them from participation in the activities enjoyed by the majority race. Shockingly, the segregated graduation events taking place at Columbia University fit that exact criterion. The graduation ceremonies being held are selective to Native, Asian, “Latin X,” and black students, as as well as low-income students. There’s even a ...

How the Beautiful B-58 Hustler Lost Its Chance at Life
Joseph Trevithick, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Joseph Trevithick* *B-58 Bomber, * Convair’s delta-wing Hustler was in some respects a fantastic aircraft. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The B-58 Hustler would never see combat and was never configured for non-nuclear bombing missions. In January 1970, the Air Force retired the aircraft. The flying branch’s nuclear-attack mission would fall to low-flying B-52s, B-1s, F-111s, stealthy B-2s and ballistic missiles — the latter of which were a testament to the success of concurrency. On Nov. 11, 1956, the first B-58 Hustler took flight. It would never see combat. An exotic, b...

Remember this: that which man has created that is not of the light
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 18 hours ago
Remember this: that which man has created that is not of the light he must uncreate through his invocation to the Holy Spirit and the correct use of the sacred fire. This is the essence and the all of the teaching. Karma is the discovery of causes behind effects and the facing of the responsibility for that karma. Once you have learned the law of cycles, of the return of energy and flux of light descending from the heart of the Sun, then you may also concern yourselves with dharma, which is the duty of the Law to fulfill the individual divine plan.
