Το σώμα δημιουργήθηκε για να είναι αυτοσυντηρούμενο και αυτοθεραπευόμενο - Ένα απόσπασμα από τον M.N. Hopkins
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 16 hours ago
Το σώμα δημιουργήθηκε για να είναι αυτοσυντηρούμενο και αυτοθεραπευόμενο, αλλά ο άνθρωπος μέσα από την περιορισμένη σκέψη του σκέφτηκε ότι ήξερε καλύτερα από τον Δημιουργό του και άρχισε να δημιουργεί ένα σύστημα που βασίζεται στον περιορισμό ή τον αυτοπεριορισμό, το οποίο οδήγησε σε ασθένειες και νοητικές και συναισθηματικές διαταραχές κάθε είδους που μπορεί να φανταστεί κανείς. Και ήταν η φαντασία που τροφοδότησε αυτή τη φωτιά της καταστροφής ενός ήδη καλά λειτουργικού συστήματος. *©** M.N.

History Shows the True Damage Done By Imperial Japan's Type 3 Machine Gun
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Asia* Only the end of World War II, and Japan’s defeat, would bring an end to Hotchkiss-style machine guns in Japanese service. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* One of the most infantry-heavy armies of World War II was the Imperial Japanese Army. Although the country itself is today synonymous with innovation, the infantry weapons used by the Imperial Army and Navy were generally copies of European weapons ill-suited for notoriously small-statured Japanese soldiers. Such weapons often remained in service much longer than prudent. An example of this w...

Using an existing large caliber bullet and adapting it to the precision rifle platform, the innovative Barrett M82 sniper rifle practically created the category of large caliber rifles that equip military snipers worldwide to this day.

The United States' drone assassination program is illegal under international law, but the whistleblower who exposed it, Daniel Hale, is being prosecuted under the Espionage Act. Chip Gibbons of Defending Rights and Dissent describes who Daniel Hale is and why his act of leaking information about the program to a journalist is akin to Daniel Ellsberg leaking the Pentagon Papers. Gibbons also places Hale's action in the broader context of FBI surveillance, the war on whistleblowers and other truthtellers, such as Julian Assange, and the assault on our right to know.

Medicinal herbs in the treatment of neuropathic pain: a review
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is a useful inventory of agents that assist in dealing with neuropathy. It is my opinion based of the pattern of evidence that we are dealing with toxin capture from dying cells impacting nerve ends where the toxins have actually accumulated. Diabetic neuropathy is a clear cause effect example in which the cause is impacting the whole body, but with the toxins accumulating in the limbs in particular. I do suspect that toxins will also activate incipiant conditions such as arcthritis. what none of these protocols address is toxin removal which really needs to be bette...

This is an interesting intellectual exercise that has real merit. We have long treated India et al to its natural geographical boundarues as a so called sub continent.

In those terms the eastern half of China is obvious as is Europa to the eastern Carpatheans. All these represent approximately 5,000,000 square kilomete...
