Francois Gautier: On Hinduism, Islam, and Indian Secularism
Francois Gautier believes that Islam cannot be integrated in India because Islam is antithetical to the naturalistic, polytheistic, spiritual, peaceful, subtle, and many-sided culture that Hinduism represents. He says that Indian secularism is dangerous and foolish because it exhorts the Hindus to defend a foreign religion (Islam) whose practitioners invaded their country, killed millions of Hindus, and tried to wrest the Indian Subcontinent from them. Here’s an excerpt from Gautier’s book *A New History of India* (Page 73): “But ultimately, it is a miracle that Hinduism survived ... read more

Kerch Strait Bridge Attack: The Plot Thickens
So who dunnit? Who is behind today's bombing of the Kerch Strait Bridge that links southwestern Russia with the Crimea? Coming mere days after Ukrainian Puppet President Zelensky was very publicly running his mouth about the need to make preemptive attacks on Russian territory, the finger of blame obviously points squarely towards Kiev as the culprit. But more than that, it plainly points even farther afield, to Brussels, London, Washington-DC, Paris, etc. After all who has been arming the Ukrainian military with billions of dollars worth of weapons and sending thousands of mercen... read more

Kennedy v. Bremerton School District and SCOTUS
A Democrat FB-er (rhymes with fibber) claims there are no restrictions from the Democrats on speech and religion. Says it's just a myth. Wonder if he's aware of Kennedy v. Bremerton School Dist., a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court and was just settled in July 2022? Really? A coach prays privately, after a game, on the field when lots of others were also milling around and expressing their like or dislike for the outcome, but because he prayed, he lost his job. That's not religious oppression? He'd been doing it for years, bothering no one, but some ONE supporting the ... read more

A growing protest in Iran
PJ Media: The Iranian government has lost all legitimacy and the situation in the streets suggests only extreme bloodletting will allow the regime to regain nominal control over the population. Incredibly, the protesters no longer fear the police or military. Those in the streets have made a conscious choice to protest or die. They are daring the authorities to shoot them down. With spotty internet and a crackdown on online dissent, it’s impossible to say how many Iranian protesters have died.

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Why is the sky near Antares and Rho Ophiuchi so colorful? The colors result from a mixture of objects and processes. Fine dust illuminated from the front by starlight produces blue reflection nebulae. Gaseous clouds whose atoms are excited by ultraviolet starlight produce reddish emission nebulae. Backlit dust clouds block starlight and so appear dark. Antares, a red supergiant and one of the brighter stars in the night sky, lights up the yellow-red clouds on the lower center. Rho Ophiuchi lies at the center of the blue nebula near the top. The distant globular cluster M4 is visible... read more

In 1610, he published a little book called “The Six-Cornered Snowflake” that asked an even more fundamental question: How do visible forms arise? He wrote: "There must be some definite reason why, whenever snow begins to fall, its initial formation is invariably in the shape of a six-pointed starlet. For if it happens by chance, why do they not fall just as well with five corners or with seven?" All around him Kepler saw beautiful shapes in nature: six-pointed s... read more
