Ukraine, Palestine, Iran and Just War
Shameless Popery | 26 June 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZOPPj_hQQE

19:26 "the state has ... you don't have that permission"

Correct about the violent response after the aggression is already over.

While a man is being aggressed, he has the right to defend himself, possibly according to the law of God (and St. Thomas makes a natural law argument this is so) and certainly, even if the law of God didn't grant it per se, it grants the right to avail oneself of self defense laws in place ... "according to the laws of the emperors" as the specific Church father said.

Note, if you have heard a certain story about me, not sure you have, not sure you haven't, on the occasion, I was NOT seeking vengeance for an aggression already in the past, I was just learning from the past what kind of aggression it was, and what my chances were to get things straightened out legally, and was then in my mind justified in self defense on a renewed occasion of aggression.

20:49 You have a miniature enumeration of institutions here that are included in "every human institution" ...

Psychiatry doesn't fit the bill.

CPS don't fit the bill.

School compulsion doesn't fit the bill.

21:08 And also, if the civil authority encroaches on the rights of someone other than God to determine things, like the adult person himself (under the laws) or the parents, that other than God is also not obliged to give up his rights.

So, if the civil authority tells a man he needs to see a shrink or a parent she needs to give up custody or send a son to a boarding school, resisting either of them in any way available is perfectly licit.

27:37 Not just against someone trying to kill, but also against someone trying to maim or enslave.

But thanks for admitting there is a right to self defense.

31:19 C. S. Lewis disagreed on number 3, which it seems in his time was being introduced by Catholic Theologians (his words, he could have been simply unaware of earlier Catholic theologians).

And as he was from Ireland, he had a fairly good reason to do so. He considered this one impossible to know.

Easter Rising of 1916, in and of itself, had no prospects of success. In Dublin, 1000 to 1500 persons at most took arms against England.

Nevertheless, as we know with hindsight, the Easter Rising was highly successful. It triggered a repression that showed the administration was simply paranoid about Irish nationalists.

Pádraic Pearse did more damage to the union from his gallows than he did with his rifle. As we know, Éire is its own state, not under the English Crown, no longer in the Commonwealth.

Pádraic Pearse couldn't do it on his own, he just had massive help from Lloyd George. Among other things, targetting Sinn Féin which at the start of affairs was hoping for a Double Monarchy, giving Ireland a status parallel to that of Hungary. And absurdly enough targetting Sinn Féin as German agents.

So, CSL (I forget which context) had a point that point 3 cannot be a criterium, since it is unknowable. Unknowable things can't serve as criteria.

35:48 Vivat Cascia!

My own three state solution with shared territory would have involved Jerusalem as under international jurisdiction, because important to all three states.

The Christian, the Jewish and the Muslim ones.

With shared territory ... as you may recall from a certain chapter in LotR, specifically FotR, there is no frontier between men and hobbits in Bree, but each side stays mainly to itself.

With three separate jurisdiction (operating all from the river to the sea), in the case of a conflict between two states or citizens of two states, one could and should ask the third to broker.

38:27 For instance, if someone (a belligerent) is hiding under a hospital, it would obviously not be right to bomb the hospital?

38:45 "they did in fact succeed" ... not very easy to know prior to Al Alamein and the German loss of Stalingrad.

Are you saying the invaded countries were waging unjust war any time between September 1939 and 1943?

Hence, CSL's point. A reasonable prospect of success would seem to be a non-criterium. Unlike, obviously, the part criterium you mentioned, namely having a criterium for when one has won. War on terror, war on drugs, war on immigration are too amorphous, because what one is fighting is not one given army.

41:36 And if the one engaging in just war commits war crimes, the war that was originally unjust may become a just war of defense against such war crimes.

That's pretty straight from City of God.

46:14 Contrary to Rosmini, he made an excellent case against a One World State.

The SHOCKING reason why the VIKING raids began
Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen | 28 June 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StJ0BcKwzYI

Before I hear the video, I think I have heard it before, was it about the felling of Donar's oak or about the Frankish reprisal in Saxony? Both persecution of Widukind (who I think ended up Catholic and even a saint) and toppling of Irminsul?

2:18 Sure, along with Norway, Prussia, Estonians, Curonians and Livonians, Saxons were one of the peoples who were Christianised by force, in the Norwegian case from the king, otherwise from the outside.

Finland is a more complex case, one story repeated itself:

• part of the Finns were Swedish subjects (possession or in one case protectorate) and Christian
• other part were Pagan and attacked the Christians
• Swedish Christians took more land

But in a sense, the Saxons are not alltogether unlike the Finnish example, since Charlemagne's decision in 772 came after 100 years of Frankish Christians being harrassed by the still Pagan Saxons.

back then Christianity was forced upon people. 3:10 Christianity was not seen as a force of good. It was seen as a force of subjugation and control. 3:22

And Germanic (Saxon or Norse) Paganism was somehow NOT a force of subjugation and control?

And subjugation and control was not seen as, up to a point (like becoming a slave was not good for the man becoming a slave) as good?

When you state that subjugation of peoples under a common ruler and his rules and control over the subjugated people was NOT a good thing, like automatically not good, not just because it was on occasion abused and bad for that reason on that occasion, you are basically appealing to a certain fringe movement within Christianity, which in English are variously called Radical Reformation and Evangelicals and in Nordic countries Frikyrkliga.

A Christian back then (as a Catholic now) saw and sees a Catholic state as an ideal, given that Jesus told His disciples to make disciples of all nations (i e collectively, including state and government), not "people from all nations" as the Watchtower Sect mistranslate. Note, in the absence of a Catholic state, we still have a duty to convert individuals, see Mark, but in Matthew, the scope is clearly nations.

But the Pagan was not an individualist. He could of course decide to worship Thor or Odhinn or Frey personally, like Hravnkel Freysgode, but he could not neglect an actual vé or the sacrifices that were supposed to take place there if under his responsibility. And they did not tolerate the presence of another public worship either. If you check on the conversion of Riga, the Livonians were actually killing missionaries to stop the mission.

In the case of Odhinn, the cult was very much about subjugation and control, and Ynglings near a "lund" un Uppsala (now Older Uppsala, inside the Uppsala municipality) would every nine years sacrifice nine men there, and they would also make sure to expand. You know why the Ynglings came to Norway, via Wermland? One Yngling was just a bit too expansive, his name was Ingjald.

5:49 I'm not sure how much North Africa was involved in slaves caught by Vikings ... I took it, Christians who were enslaved would land in Scandinavia and become ancestral to later Scandinavians in part. Don't Norwegian and Danish redheads go back to Irish slaves?

If you are right, where is the documentation?

Christians in mainland Europe obviously documented Vikings had taken people. Vikings didn't document. So, is the documentation North African and only recently accessed?

6:19 Thank you for the admission.

So, in 900, a Viking raid on England, Ireland or France was not about revenge for Irminsul any more?

But your story about Irminsul or the Massacre of Verden provoking the Viking age, what about earlier Saxon raids?

Die Sachsen, die in dem Gebiet zwischen Nordsee und Harz bzw. Rhein und Eider siedelten, waren schon den Merowingern teilweise tributpflichtig gewesen, aber nie deren Untertanen. Auch hielten sie an germanischen Traditionen fest, wozu nicht nur die Religion und ein eher loser Stammesverband gehörten, sondern auch regelmäßige Raubzüge auf fränkisches Gebiet. Ob Karl zunächst nur diese Raubzüge unterbinden wollte oder von Anfang an eine Unterwerfung, Christianisierung und Eingliederung der Sachsen in das Fränkische Reich geplant hatte, ist historisch nicht gesichert.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachsenkriege_Karls_des_Großen

Probably, after a century of raids, the latter.

8:07 Keeping land under one lord, subjugation and control, through primogeniture?

Vikings were often younger sons who couldn't get their own land. Later on, people in that position would often become clergy.

8:30 Sure, but eventually Christians were better at fighting back than Amerindians.

9:52 Yes, indeed. Canute as he's called in French and English won England. For a time, later Danish rule was ousted by another Viking who won, or rather his descendant. And by 1066, Danes around Rouen were so mixed with Gallo-Romans that the Normans weren't exactly Danes and also didn't speak Old Norse.

But Canute and Rollo had a thing in common with Clovis. They found out Christians aren't necessarily racists, they can accept a foreign ruler to some extent, but they are confessionalists. A Christian population (which we are unfortunately running out of) is lots easier to rule if the king is Christian too.

10:21 I would add two factors.

1) Norse rulers became Christians and as such were somewhat less prone to plunder fellow Christians.
2) Christianity gave another outlet for younger sons. Clergy instead of going into Viking.

11:14 Isn't it still (even if you might avoid the term) Sankt Hans in Norway?

Thank you, best wishes for Sts Peter and Paul ...

@WaimakBible

Hi I have looked up all the Catholic translations I can find and in this verse they agree with the KJV. Which Catholic translation disagrees and why? Catholic translations generally look similar to Protestant Bibles so that people don’t notice the important differences. Thanks for your input😀

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@hglundahl

@WaimakBible N O ...

Here is King James:

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

By contrast, here is Douay Rheims, the classic English language Bible of the Catholic Church, Challoner revision:

And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard

I'm not speaking about the "but" vs the "and" but the difference between "use not vain repetitions" and "speak not much"

Here is another Catholic nearly as Classic one, Father Ronald Knox:

Moreover, when you are at prayer, do not use many phrases, like the heathens, who think to make themselves heard by their eloquence.

There is a clear difference between repeating one phrase and using many (different) phrases.

Here is a footnote he made on the verse:

The very rare verb which our Lord uses here probably means to ‘stammer’, to ‘hesitate’. The heathens used to address their gods by a series of titles, with the superstitious idea that the prayer would not be heard unless the right title was hit upon.

And I can confirm this, no Greco-Roman pagan had anything like the Rosary or the Litany or the Jesus prayer, but you can look up Velleius Paterculus, Roman History, book II, last chapter, where the author concludes the work with a prayer to the gods and does precisely exactly what Father Ronald Knox described in the footnote.

Tom Schmidt PhD and Sean McDowell on Testimonium Flavianum

My first comment is after a reading of an English translation of TF, before Tom Schmidt comes in. The rest involves gratitude or minor nuance to what Tom Schmidt says.

Breaking: The Earliest Non-Christian Testimony to Jesus may be Authentic (Josephus)
Sean McDowell | 27.VI.2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwyFaJcapcI

0:15 Miracle working is not affirmed in the Testimonium Flavianum.

"Wonderful works" is in the original "paradoxa erga" and could from a non-Christian, even a denier of the miracles, refer to things like eating without washing hands or the two cleansings of the temple.

As to "was the Messiah", note the tense. I think there is a Jewish tenet that in each generation there is a claimant to the throne of David, a potential Messiah, so to speak, and that Josephus was saying a thing like "yes, he was the Messiah, but he missed the chance" ...

As to "appeared on the third day" could be a reference to what Christians believed, not necessarily sth that Josephus wholeheartedly agreed with.

Also, a text in the OT says Samuel appeared, and not all exegetes agree this was actually the soul of Samuel in Endor, some say even on this occasion the witch conjured a demon. Josephus need not have been taking sides on this issue.

I looked up the Greek text in D M Murdock (on Academia), and she makes an affair of the two negatives, saying they protest against someone else, whom Josephus didn't name. But Josephus could have simply referenced the test of Gamaliel. If he knew about the test, and if he knew in context that other Messianic claimants were returned to nobodies, a kind of footnotes in history, he would have noted the contrast.

27:04 5500 hapax legomena within the corpus flavianum?

29:11 Ah, you do mean a Christian edited out "was thought to be" as offensive, in not the Latin, not the Syriac, but the Byzantine or Greek reception of the text?

My own hunch back when I came to debates on the subject would have been "he was the Christ according to ..." (insert derogatory description of Christians).

And that phrase was then considered too offensive and was edited out.

44:42 Phainetai moi kenos isos theoisin ... Sappho doesn't state the bridgroom of her former protégé (to which she was still ssa) IS the like of the gods, she just saying that's how it seems to her in her present state of mind.

Yes, thank you, I hadn't noticed myself, but Josephus uses the same verb.

48:55 Josephus sounds a lot like Cicero saying things like:

"I was mentored by ... " no, I'll give the Latin paragraph:

Q. Mucius augur multa narrare de C. Laelio socero suo memoriter et iucunde solebat nec dubitare illum in omni sermone appellare sapientem; ego autem a patre ita eram deductus ad Scaevolam sumpta virili toga, ut, quoad possem et liceret, a senis latere numquam discederem; itaque multa ab eo prudenter disputata, multa etiam breviter et commode dicta memoriae mandabam fierique studebam eius prudentia doctior. Quo mortuo me ad pontificem Scaevolam contuli, quem unum nostrae civitatis et ingenio et iustitia praestantissimum audeo dicere. Sed de hoc alias; nunc redeo ad augurem.

(Laelius de Amicitia)

Jews in the day of Josephus were imitating Roman nobility in being highly snobbish about social connections, and this is to be expected from idolaters who had just said "we have no king but Caesar" ...

50:09 Obviously Hanan Ben Hanan would know he hadn't been able to end Christianity by killing St. James the taller.

To whose tomb I went in 2004. Pope Leo XIII has authentified, yes, St. James really, after being killed in Jerusalem, was buried in Galicia, Spain.

As a good fan of homeschooling, I have obviously also noted that his successor Joshua Ben Gamla was the first to oblige Jewish boys to a school system still used today. Meaning, the Holy Family was NOT under this obligation decades earlier, meaning Our Lord presumably was a home-schooler and He is once basically taunted with it, probably at a time when schools were already prestigious, but not yet obligatory.

And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned
[John 7:15]

50:39 Tom, the French priest Jean Colson in 1968 published a thesis, named l'Énigme du disciple que Jésus aimait.

In it he states that John the Beloved had "worn the golden head band" so, he was not one of the twelve, a lesser rank of disciples, but potentially at least very high ranking as an OT priest.

Do you think the text of Josephus could help to figure out who of the Cohens St. John the Beloved was?

My hunch is Theophilus Ben Hanan, since "whom Jesus loved" according to very clear Johannine theology would be the same as "whom God loved" = "Theophilus" ...

51:44 Two questions.

1) Is Hanan ben Hanan the high priest John who's facing John of Zebedee in acts 4?

And Annas the high priest, and Caiphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest
[Acts Of Apostles 4:6]

2) Apart from the absurd shilly-shallying of first being a disciple and hosting the Mother of God, then being a persecutor and then going back to being a disciple, is there something that precludes that Hanan ben Hanan was John the Beloved?

That would be one explanation of why he didn't write Christian literature before the Jewish war.

How do Saints Know About Our Prayers?

@AllieBethStuckey
Catholic vs. Protestant: Praying to Mary | Guest: Trent Horn | Ep 997
What do Catholics believe about Mary and the Saints?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/w6Be6qoG9sg

Two observations:
1) It is a Catholic teaching that the way the saints know about prayers they have discretion on forwarding is, by God revealing it to them, since that is a thing pertaining to their glory;
2) I have a suspicion that "millions of prayers at once" is misjudging the case, that the time experience up there is much longer than contemporary time down here. A bit like Narnian time. Like, Earth has perhaps one million prayers directed to Mary in 1 second, but Mary experiences 1 year to assess them all the while spending even more time in worshipping God or in rejoicing with other saints already up there. Alternatively, God could be telling Her "so and so many are asking for a marriage, so and so many are asking for strength to combat a sin" and so on. But even that involves some dose of "Narnian time" so I prefer using it so the saints have the time to assess things.

A third thing. By prophecy, Jesus was every moment of His earthly life (yes, from Conception) aware of each person who is part of His mystical body. The saints and not least Mary could obviously also, and this is what Trent Horn seems to suggest, be sharing in that richness of prophetic knowledge.

For Some Who Wonder Whether I'm a Catholic Apologist and Actually Catholic.

I have made comparisons with what Michael Lofton states under the first half of this video:

BREAKING: Sam Shamoun Has NOT Converted to Catholicism? – The Evidence Considered
Reason & Theology | 27.VI.2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax9-q0HIgRY

11:25 Was Gilbert Keith Chesterton a Catholic Apologist while still Anglican?

Some would say yes.

Was John Henry Newman a Catholic Apologist in the years preceding his final reception into the Catholic Church?

What he later says in Apologia suggests he practically considered himself such ...

There are Catholics who will cite Chesterton from Orthodoxy, a work he wrote while still Anglican (1908, Orthodoxy, 1922, Catholic conversion), and there are Catholics who will cite Newman Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, which he wrote 1845, same year as his conversion, but before it, and before receiving instruction.

He was specifically under orders to give sincerely and without a Catholic filter the reasons he had found as still an Anglican to become a Catholic.

14:06 Produce receits ...

I did make a public confession of faith in the chapel of Mary Immaculate on Ekgatan in Malmö. 1988. May 22 or 25 whichever is a Sunday. The other date is my baptismal date in the Lutheran Church of Sweden earlier on, on a Friday, in 1984, when I was 15 and 1/2.

However, when it comes to paperwork, I did not get "receits" into my hands.

Was the Catholic Church, Diocese of Stockholm, deliberately fudging the paper work so I could not prove I'm a Catholic or no one could prove it against me, should I later desire to return to Protestantism?

If so, that kind of collaboration with the kind of people who stamped me as immature when I was 20 and will continue to stamp me as immature till I die, as long as I am a Christian believer, is an extra reason to prefer Pope Michael II. In fact, however, I think they put the paper work in the parish register, which would now be in Maria i Rosengård. The chaplain who received me, Father Wilhelm Imach, OMI, and the parish priest, Father Rudolf Basista, OMI, have both died since. They were ordained before 1970. Father Wilhelm in 1962, Father Rudolf in 1958.

Father Wilhelm was ordained in Obra, Greater Poland. As was Father Rudolf. Apparently, the former Cistercian Abbey is the seminar of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate.

16:45 The profession of faith I made was different.

"Allt som den Katholska Kyrkan tror, lär och förkunnar vara uppenbaradt af Gud, det tror och bekänner jag"

Everything that the Catholic Church believes, teaches and proclaims to be revealed by God, that I believe and confess.

17:52 I received first penance and first communion in 1988, but confirmation (if valid) only later, in 1990.

The catechesis I received was extensive, a Catechism from the 1960's Germany translated into Swedish [during] the last year [of my catechesis], and in parallel I had already bought and started reading privately Konvertitenkatechismus, 1950, Paderborn, and that means it was by the Jesuits.

Before that year, there had been false starts with that book in the background.

24:57 Was Henry VIII still a Catholic Apologist after going into schism?

He had earned the title, given by the Pope, of Defensor Fidei, for a work entitled Defense of the Seven Sacraments (against Martin Luther).

Obviously, he backtracked on submission to the Pope, but not on the natures of the sacraments.

So, in a sense, yes.

Meanwhile, it would seem that members of parishes run by SSPX, Sedevacantists and, in my case, Orthopapist Conclavists, are not in the sense of canon laws here considered "parts of non-Catholic Churches" ...

(Though Pope Michael I has ruled SSPX are actually non-Catholics).

I am technically a biritualist with Romanian Orthodox, when I decided to convert to them in 2006 I was not required to abjure Roman Catholicism, and when I decided to get back in 2009, I did not formally abjure Romanian Orthodoxy.

However, a few weeks before I converted in Malmö, in the chapel on Ekgatan (oak street), I did get out of the Church of Sweden, and the reason I hadn't done so already was, I had presumed that the Catholic Church would handle that paper work. It didn't, I was asked to do the paper work with CoS myself.

Western Conservative, NOT Pro-Russian (I'm culturally Russophile, and Ukrainophile, but not Pro-Russian against the West or Ukraine)

"Russia has no migrants"
NFKRZ | 26 June 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaPoRmiADO4

8:40 They have not fathomed that Ukraine has (proportionally) fewer Muslims than Russia and more Christians, apart from Crimean Tatars more purely Slavs.

It's like France doing war on Poland in the name of defending Europe ....

I'm not saying accepting Muslims as either migrants or (over centuries) citizens is necessarily bad, but it is somewhat less advantageous for Christianity in the country.

I don't see Uzbeks doing their Friday Salat in the streets in Warszaw ...

Or why not France doing war on Monaco and Andorra ...

Polish, like Ukrainian, Muslims are mainly Tatars. Ukraine, like Ireland and Croatia, has between 1 and 2 %, Poland less than 1 %.

Russia, like France, has between 10 and 20 %.

11:42 kafe rasht means what?

Kafe = coffee?

11:42 bis. Accepting migrants may be a hasard.

But treating them badly before they are allowed to settle is a recipe for disaster.

A few months ago, Sweden had LOTS of Muslim violence, and this even with fewer Muslims than France. However, Sweden has pretty inhumane refugee detention centres, where someone is supposed to wait a few months while his case is being cleared. Inhumane to non-Muslims too, btw. For decades, Christian refugees who were targetted by Muslim neighbours but not by the government have not been accepted.

An Assyrian Christian was told "OK, they raped your wife, killed a child, burnt your house, but what did they do to you yourself, personally?"

Just becase accepting Christians have to flee from Muslim populations was not politically correct.

14:53 How about getting rid of a government that allows abortion?

Because it allows abortion.

That would on a few decades fix the demographic crisis.

It so happens, my statistics on Muslims in Russia (meaning the Russian Federation, so including for instance Daghestan) were contested. Here is a video promoting Russian Islam (and featuring Putin as hugging a Quran), which says the Muslims in Russia number 21 million:

5:06 In Vienna, in 1968, there was no student revolt.

The actual student protest came when the Shah was visiting.

27:21 I didn't.

I got disillusioned with Bush over two issues.

1) He was going to abolish inheritance duty, but didn't, because "Responsible Ruch" (an actual club) objected it is not good for people to be born with a silver spoon. Given how rich they were, their children are born with a silver spoon anyway, those hurt by inheritance duty are more like those who would inherit pop and mom stores. The duty can make just the difference so they have to sell it instead and only get money.
2) Before 9/11, the mollahs in Afghanistan had expelled 8 US citizens who were Christians and done sth else to 8 Afghan converts, I didn't know what, I still don't know what. The US didn't lift a finger for those in place. Then 9/11, and war on Afghanistan, I was shocked. Afghans were if anything the hosts to Osama, his involvement was not obvious, refusing to let Afghan police handle the accusation is like Austria's refusal in 1914 to let Serbian police deal with Gavril Princip, and unlike the Serbian case, Osama was already out of Afghanistan.

I was shocked, jotted down a few lines to the US embassador in Denmark and sent it. They ended in:

"Don't be afraid to be a Crusader, don't be afraid to be a monarchist"

The Afghan king was perhaps less obnoxious than the Persian Shah, at least this is what Charles A. Coulombe led me to believe. And at least they could take the occasion to defend Christianity.

No, no Crusade, but instead "Crusade for Democracy" ... after some time, it came out the West installed régime in Kabul was prohibiting Bibles and conversions in Kabul.

So, by the Iraq war, I was already against it.

42:43 Do you think the ICE is deliberately working against him, deliberately not sticking to targetting actual criminals, just to have people demonise Trump?

The immigration thing is a seemingly very different affair in France and in the US.

Charlotte Ornellas mentioned "every three days, some young person is getting killed" ... by usually Muslim community (if not always practising) people either immigrated or of recent immigrant background. I think there are other reasons, like a bad school system being inescapable, but still.

I couldn't find this being the case with Latino immigrants in the US, obviously I only did a quick google, and google would probably filter out sources like Ornellas unless you deliberately looked for them, but still.

That some of them later (like some Mitsrahi Jews) gave up their religion for Islam or even those who didn't gave up Christian Palestinian Aramaic for Arabic in the time of the countercrusade by Baybars, would you mind finding the appropriate "Religion for Breakfast" video, please, doesn't change their origins.

This Gobekli Tepe Statue Holds Huge Mystery for Archaeologists | Hugh Newman
Danny Jones Clips | 26 April 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJJP6oRF4GM

[1) The Sayburç man, carved relief between leopards, shown a bit in;
2) the broken statue being shown at greater length, in a similar pose, also not fit for juvenile minds;

good matches for a godless mindset, but horribly bad ones for the pious crew on the Ark.

Other thing, discussed after the circles, the cubit measures between centres of stone circles are measures used in Ancient Egypt and among Sumerians. This is, like the carved model of apparently Göbekli Tepe that was found in Ur, a good indicator that we don't wait 4000 + years from the end of Göbekli Tepe to the beginning of Egypt and the two root cultures of Babylon, Sumerian and Akkadian ones.

The head of the broken statue has a beard reminiscent of Egyptian Pharaonic ones.]

3:06 The rocks permit an interpretation involving the Flood.

Yes, exactly the same rocks that in Karoo are interpreted as between 303 and 180 million years (Ma) ago.

Because a fossil from the Beaufort Group (oldest land fauna in Karoo) and one from the Drakensberg Group can have grazed or otherwise roamed the region side by side, same occasion, when the Flood hit and buried them in mud.

And there are not just creation stories, but also Flood stories around the world. ONE of them gives proportions of the Ark such that it was likely not to capsize or to roll too fast for the comfort of those aboard. I calculated rolling period, supposing the water line was 15 cubits up, such that the rolling period matched that of passenger cruisers.

You can hardly do that with a Mesopotamian super-coracle or cube.

Haydock > Scofield.

I have argued for Israelis to make peace with the other Israelites of Christian and Muslim confession, a k a Palestinians.

Presently, the Knesset against them is acting like Pharaos of Egypt ... confer Apoc. 11.

7:35 If you look at verse 12, you may note that the rivalry, often enmity, between Judah and Ephraim / Judah and Samaria was to cease.

This is also fulfilled, among children of Abraham, from spirit and from flesh, Acts 2 and Acts 8.

My main point about the region is, this population still exists. They are Christian Palestinians.

Great work, Mr. Trump.

Now that is out of the way, perhaps he might broker:

• Israel paying damages for the kidnapping of the Madleen
• Israel opening up non-UNWRA contributions to the Gazawis, apart from those provided by Israel itself.

Job Revisited

Ken Ham SHREDS Evolution with One Simple Question
Ken Ham | 20 June 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzawwl3cIPs

3:39 You are aware of the one occasion when he was doubting God, what he repented of?

After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day And he said Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived
[Job 3:1-3]

Do you know why this is what God and Job were referring to?

Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months Let that night be solitary, and not worthy of praise Let them curse it who curse the day. who are ready to raise up a leviathan Let the stars be darkened with the mist thereof: let it expect light and not see it, nor the rising of the dawning of the day
[Job 3:6-9]

God in chapter 38 appears like a whirlwind, and mentions precisely Leviathan and stars.

God was telling Job:

But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black
[Matthew 5:34-36]

How do I know God did NOT disapprove of what Job told his comforters?

And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before me, as my servant Job hath
[Job 42:7]

"as my servant Job hath" ... in other words, to the comforters, God approved of Job's words.

Does C. S. L. oversimplify politics, or is that just a Commie trope?

Prince Caspian · Does C. S. L. oversimplify politics, or is that just a Commie trope?

5 Pitfalls of Writing Political Fantasy and how to fix them
Just In Time Worldbuilding | 13 Aug. 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m1HFZXmW1s

10:33 You may have missed that C. S. Lewis on each occasion evaded your pitfalls of the rightful heir.

1) LWW, the rightful kings and queens are kings and queens of prophecy and have a messianic rather than narrowly political dimension (even if de facto they also rule politically).
2) Prince Caspian, the precisely allies of the rightful heir make for a real shift in power (again with a messianic dimension, since the Pevensies are on the side of Caspian X.
3) Having the rightful heir hostage would have so to speak demonically reversed Prince Caspian, in service of the Lady of the Green Kirtle rather than of Aslan. Here it is not so much the rightful heir that sets things in order as being prevented from acting in the service of foreign invaders.

You did miss out on two periods where a lack of an obvious rightful heir set the country into chaos.

1) Between King Frank's dynasty and the White Witch
2) Between the Pevensies and the Telmarine invasion.

This has a parallel in real history with the false Dmitriys and the decades when the Russian crown was up for grabs, and obviously in the War of the Roses and in the English invasion of France during the Hundred Years' War. In fact, the Pevensies in Prince Caspian function a bit like St. Joan of Arc in the French national revival.

What you argue for is pretty much analysing power on modern conventions, CSL analysed it on Medieval principles ... without actually losing the complexity.

10:40 It's purpose is not to serve as a metaphor for Christianity, that part purpose is rather exploring what Christianity would look like in another world.

10:58 Song of Ice and Fire also oversimplifies the distinction between Christian monarchy (War of the Roses) and Pagan Caesarianism (the mores of Nero, for instance).

By contrast, CSL does give examples of evil and overreaching (both internally and internationally) monarchy, in Charn and in Calormen (and no, Calormen is not a metaphor for Islam).

11:13 CSL shows up with other forms of governance too.

Hermit of the Southern March and Marshwiggles show self reliance, a kind of anarchy.

The complexities of Trade in Lone Islands are a nice showcasing of the failures of modern Democracy and Bureaucracy to show humanity.

For that matter, the rise of Miraz to power (featured in both Prince Caspian and in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, both occasions retrospectively) parallels the rise of Communist dictators, not least in Czechoslovakia.

12:29 What you have spoken of, Miraz is not omnipotent, just the biggest bully, in his own system.

He also is not aware of all that is going on, or he wouldn't have hired first that nanny and then Doctor Cornelius.

13:27 The religious history of Dune is about as unbelievable as that of Foundation after Hari Seldon dies, not to mention the inherent and obvious impossibility of Hari Seldon's psycho-statistics.

I quit Foundation after some paragraphs after Hari Seldon's death, since Mr. Asimov was basically naive enough to believe he had provided a model for the rise of Christianity.

But in the previous scenes, an alternative and not impossible reading of what happens is, Hari Seldon actually foresaw nothing, he just conveniently stated things like "oh, it was a 95 % chance of this arrest happening right now" in order to give his younger companion a sense of Hari Seldon having it all fixed.

13:43 Political entities in Narnia from death of Caspian IX to death of Caspian X involve:

• a Telmarine coloniser culture
• a colonised culture threatened with genocide
• an usurper within the coloniser culture
• a threat to the rightful heir coinciding with the genocidal threat
• overseas possessions left to themselves
• mercantile cities and shephard landscapes in the overseas possessions
• loyalists who were faithful to Caspian IX and who were dealt with by Miraz in various ways
• a secret presence of Old Narnians that could pass for Telmarines but weren't or weren't quite, making a liaison between the rightful heir and the colonised
• lots of militaries with their own ambitions (like the ones who bungle the drowning of Trumpkin or like Glozelle and Sopespian)
• threats from the North, giants and an evil witch who lives underground part of the time

I would say, for a children's story, duly taking into account that Prince Caspian, Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair are supposed to not be too confusing to an audience of nine, C. S. L. quite does rival GRRM and FH.

16:09 You have just done a good job of literarily justifying Nikabrik.

18:10 In CSL, as in Tolkien, Capitalism and Merchant Republics are not inherently good.

Check Governor Gumpas or Laketown for reference.

30:19 You have just given a great justification for the transitions between the books in the Narnia series.

King Frank's dynasty does not last beyond the tree of protection.
The Pevensies involve Narnia being ruled by people with some immaturity, like Queen Susan displays with the Calormene suitor.
Caspian X involves a man with more than just trace amounts of Telmarine greed, as VDD shows.
And his companions end up with a despondency about searching for the lost prince such that only a very secretive faction is able to forward Eustace and Jill. The ensuing development of the monarchy involves an appeasement with Calormen that ends up backfiring big time.

Answering Ekpunobi (Red Head vs Founding Fathers)

Assorted retorts from yahoo boards and elsewhere: Answering Ekpunobi (Red Head vs Founding Fathers) · New blog on the kid: All Borders Aren't Equal and Other Considerations

she, her = the redhead that Amala Ekpunobi is talking about (also "the redhead")
you = Amala Ekpunobi, I'm commenting under her video.
everyone else = named

The Founding Fathers Were Dumber Than A Modern 12-Year Old?
Amala Ekpunobi | recent?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XJXYjq89Xg

0:30 You are talking apples and oranges.

She was not saying "smarter" but "more access to information" ... two different things.

1:45 Correcting her, lobotomy was NOT a thing of the Founding Fathers era.

It only came with further progress in the 20th C. There is a reason why "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is not a 19th or 18th C work of theatre.

3:45 Thank you very much for noting some things that some try to put down with police force are first amendment rights.

Nearly dito for shaming, though the shaming would also be a first amendment right.

4:15 We do not have IQ 100, because we have sunk from 160 to 100. He had (if so) 160 because he was an exceptional man (and that's why he was chosen to do his job or was able to take it on himself).

Medium IQ is defined as 100. It's an inherent feature of the system.

Btw, Plato, Shakespear, Greek, Latin, it's not a question of IQ, it's a question of cultural outlook.

For the record, it's also not a question of information as the redhead understands it, it's still a question of cultural outlook. Not of individuals, but of the whole society.

The redhead (I missed her name) belongs to another cultural outlook. Where knowing "we descend from Tiktaalik" or "Earth circles the Sun each year and itself each day" and "the universe is 13 + billion years old" is supposed to be not just true (I disagree on all points mentioned) but also more important as an outlook than Shakespear or Plato. Or Thomas Aquinas. I heartily disagree with her cultural outlook, but information as she understands it (the sum of verified factual statements about the world we live in, according to her standards of verification, those of Dawkins, basically) is more readily available now than in the day of the Founding Fathers.

She might have to ponder that the disagreements about what to do are not always disagreements about fact, but disagreements about which of the facts are more relevant to act on, and on what principles. I'm afraid that was not part and parcel of the informations she accessed as a twelve year old.

4:15 bis Auron McIntyre has a point about chronological snobbery, except in her case it's not just that. In her case, it's first and foremost a preference for Scientific Civilisation over Classic Civilisation, as C. P. Snow understood the words.

For the record, of the authors he enumerates, Cicero and to a lesser degree Locke were not CSL's favourites, though he relished what Locke had to say on society, and Plutarch is not really harder to read than Reader's Digest. He basically invented Reader's Digest.

4:52 They were professionally active in their teen years, fine, so was Justin Bieber and so was Brett Cooper. "Agonising" is overdoing the pity over professionally active teens.

5:28 Schools back then were not mooching on the idea that teens are immature and need to get LOTS of education before they can do anything.

Btw, Greta Thunberg was 17 going on 18 when, for one day, 6 Dec. 2020, she was editor in chief of Dagens Nyheter.

Weren't you chiming in with Jordan Peterson about teens not needing anything except EDUCATION that other day?

5:33 I started learning Latin as a teenager. Because lessons were not available in prepuberty childhood. To Jefferson they were, fortunately.

C. S. Lewis started learning Homer at age 16, he already had a founding in Ancient Greek before that.

Kirkpatrick: here is Iliad Alpha, read!

C. S. L: Menin aeide thea, Peleiadeos Achileos ...

5:47 St. Thomas Aquinas had a training in Trivium AND in Quadrivium.

The latter part being sth closer to the "information" (of scientific type) that the readhead was going on about.

Education was not just dumbed down from Founding Fathers to our day in the Trivium area, it was also dumbed down from Scholastics to Founding Fathers in the Quadrivium area. Meanwhile, Quadrivial things have actually got a boost since the Founding Fathers and were indispensable for the surveyor's licence as well.

6:26 The right to carry arms, second amendment, she had a point about what kind of arms it referred to.

Swords, yes. Pistols, but not revolvers. Rifles, but frontloaders, which had to be reloaded between each two single bullets shot.

By the way, ICE and the marines are lucky in LA that the leftists they are facing are no fans of the Second Amendment. If they were, perhaps the Boston Teaparty vibes would not just be cosplaying by now.

6:58 Burning at the stake was more of a hasard a century before the founding fathers. Lobotomy was not yet so.

Hope lobotomy remains a bad memory.

7:22 Their obsession was partly due to a Whig bias.

And it was partly selective. It was Tories, less concerned with Constitutional Freedoms, who were more concerned with individual freedom as against slavery.

George III = moderately anti-slavery (and that may have been part of the reason for Founding Fathers to oppose him). Yes, even in practise.
George Washington = theoretically anti-slavery, but really not just for now, directly ...

8:47 I'm also one who was at age ten not an eager letter writer.

However, he had learned more rhetoric than I and could elaborate more on the point.

9:21 Ah, they believed in homeschooling. Good.

9:43 At age 25 I could definitely not imagine myself writing letters for his advice on studies, I was doing mine.

My sentences are long, as his are, but part of the thing about the letter, which makes it seem advanced, is, word choices and phrases were different back then, what was a perfectly everyday word to John Quincy Adams (like "vexd" = "vexed") would be very "recherché" to most US readers today. In French "vexé" is still everyday, and this reminds me of one reason why English was NOT made the official language by the Founding Fathers, they are mixed with French culture, having just defeated France in the Seven Years War and therefore ruling some territories where French was not yet dead. Plus, more pertinently, they were Gentlement with French culture.

The Catholic Take on the Anti-Ice Protest
FULL SHEEN AHEAD | 16 June 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMG0o1QAswo

6:26 Securing the borders is one thing.

If US and Mexico unite, the South border will be between half and a third of what it is now.

But ICE is acting within the borders, and in manners at least in some places not correct, as when a naturalisation ceremoney was interrupted by ICE for a forgotten document no one reminded the guy years ago.

Combat demons, but I'm far from sure it's the protest that has to cease, it could be the ICE.

139 guys and girls that were all bad guys?

I think you have heard news that is both bad and garbled.

NYP says: "Tom Homan says 139K deported since Trump took office"

139 k = 139 000. No way this could be verified all of them were bad guys.

For LA, on google, I couldn't find 139 without that K.

// Immigrant advocacy groups say they have information that more than 200 people were detained and that many do not have criminal records. // (Guardian)
// Overall, from Jan. 1 through May, ICE has made 685 deportation stops to more than 30 international destinations // (LA Times)
// 'Abducted by Ice': the haunting missing-person posters ... The handmade posters of immigrants have become a symbol of quiet resistance. Their creators reveal the story behind the project. // (Guardian)

Wait, I actually DO find 139.

139 aliens from Sept. 21 to Sept. 25, ICE says the arrests are part of ongoing enforcement actions targeting immigration violators and those who pose a threat

But the thing is, the news source says this about date and place:

ICE arrests 139 people across Florida, including Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties

So, LA is not Florida.

26 Sept. 2019

2019 is not 2025.

6:26 bis Tom Homan's comment from NY Post was April 28. Since Trump took office, since 20 Jan.

99 calendar days, 69 business days.

139 000 = 2014 per business day, up to late April and that's not yet counting May and start of June.

Could that rhythm be conducive to making more than just a few mistakes? I think so.

I also think, LA being near the South border bears more of the brunt than NYC and being more peopled bears more of the brunt than Arizona.

Does ICE have a fetish for the number 139?

Archived: ICE releases fiscal year 2023 annual report

29 Dec. 2023 — Removals also included 3,406 known or suspected gang members, 139 known or suspected terrorists, seven human rights violators, and 108 foreign fugitives wanted by their governments for crimes including homicide, rape, terrorism and kidnapping.

Same report:

ICE ERO’s 142,580 removals and 62,545 Title 42 expulsions to more than 170 countries worldwide in Fiscal Year 2023

142,580 + 62,545 = 205,125 deportations in 249 business days. = 824 deportations per business day. 2014 / 824 = 2.444 times quicker under Trump than under Biden, and it's already hurting.

---

9:23 First, you are inconsistent.

The people sent back can't both be the guys who would pressure the government if in Méjico and also "just the felons" ...

Second, if you want a defensible border (immigration wise, not military wise), union with Mexico which has a narrower South border would be a thing. But that obviously means, you can't send people back to Mexico any more, since Chiapas would be the same union as Alaska and Yucatán the same one as Maine. You would also not be in a position to argue against singing El pendón estrellado.

Third, you may be misassessing the realistic possibilities of good Mexicans to get rid of Freemason governments, after all, the US spent some decades of the 19th and early 20th CC. (support of Benito Juarez, perhaps Pancho Villa) making it hard for governments to be stable. Flirting with US Freemasonry became an option.

The final moments were an actual plea for the arrivals from Mexico, or at least many of them. Not overtly, but implicitly.

Making Up for Omissions

Questions for the Rector | Ep. 35: The Carlson/Cruz Interview: Must Christians Support Israel?
MHT Seminary | 19.VI.2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbmi30yGG7s

Thank you, Your Excellency, good reminder, if with some omissions.

I suppose "the soul of wit is brevity" has sth to do with it.

8:49 In fact, three kings did rule over Israel, spoken of as such. Saul, David and Solomon.

After that, Judah was the South Kingdom, while the North Kingdom was actually also called Israel.

And, sending messengers to Achab king of Israel into the city,
[3 Kings (1 Kings) 20:2]

A type of the apostasy to come, right?

10:50 Indeed, they have as of late shown a very great enthusiasm in every excuse they can find for exonerating the state of Netanyahu from having behaved very badly against Gazawis.

Including by trying to make the Madleen all about my countrywoman Greta Thunberg (I'm a Swede too) and doing every twisted move they can to make her look silly — at least I mean if we count Dave Rubin, people with Jewish religion might have calmed down by now, but they seem to enjoy proxies like that.

13:18 I noticed an omission.

Part of the Jews (Acts 2) and part of the Samaritans (Acts 8) did accept the true Messiah.

Their descendants are still around, they are called Christian Palestinians.

As to Muslim Palestinians, they descend in part from Mitsrahi Jews, in part from Christian Palestinians.

This wasn't cleared up. But deserves to be, both for the question in the title, and because it answer an objection raised by some of the Jewish religion, like the sermon spoken by Rabbi Rivon Krygier in Notre-Dame.

3:32 You are missing that Cairo is now blocking the road to Rafah. People trying to get aid across are being beaten up. We are not 1997 any more.

Cairo and Jerusalem are partners in holding Gazawis to only the calories Israel will provide, and no private humanitarianism allowed anymore than UNWRA.

And counting the calories someone else is allowed to have, reminds me of certain camps.

Anyone read some kind of scenario somewhere in the Apocalypse where Jerusalem is spiritually sth very different from Zion, namely "Sodom and Egypt"? Yes, chapter 11 verse 8.

It so happens, I would not want to have some of the people in Israel to be among the 7000 that share the fate of Core.

4:05 Thanks to her, people are talking of the Soumoud Caravan, and that means they are talking about Egypt.

Get with the news, Mr. Rubin.

And speaking of them, it is in them that Knesset actually asked Egypt to block humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Oh, wait, you were perhaps just forgetful:

Protesters Hold Woke Protest in Egypt, It Didn’t End Well
The Rubin Report | 16 June 2025

The only way you can twist this into not being in moral favour of Thunberg or Gazawis is, you pretend Egypt and Gazawis come under one single label as "Islam" (never mind that Netanyahu likes the Islamist in power better than some of his predecessors, which makes Netanyahu anti-Christian by proxy, like he is by IDF in Gaza, never mind that Gazawis include Christians).

4:23 One prolonged kidnapping doesn't mean another short kidnapping isn't a kidnapping.

She was by legal definition kidnapped, as long as she didn't consent, given that:

• she was in international waters, where Israelis have no jurisdiction to make a legal arrest;
• even is she had been where Israelis had a legal possibility for a blockade, it doesn't cover blockading humanitarian aid, so would even in Gaza territorial waters still have been kidnapping.

If your daughter is raped but not hurt as in wounded, will you tell her to shut up because some others are bleeding nearly to death after a rape? No.

Worse items of same crime doesn't mean the crime isn't a crime also in a less bad acting out.

5:22 Thanks for showing the map.

Madleen was taken North of Sinai's limit to fully African Egypt. Check the Madleen tracker.

And thanks for speaking up against Egypt, which is now Israel's partner in crime against Gazawis.

I guess your point was, the relatively lesser risk of mistreatment in case of kidnapping (Israelis didn't beat her, as Egypt did with food truckers and Rafah protesters) means she was not sincere, since obviously the only measure of sincerity is maximising the cost for oneself? Anything less than maximal cost makes one a grifter, right?

5:36 They might want to destroy an apartheid state that drove them away from their ancestral homes. Yasser Arafat, a few generations older than most Gazawis by now, had one grandparent from Cairo, where he was born himself, one from Gaza City and two from Jerusalem. The Sinai is empty for a reason, it's not fertile. And Israel is not likely to sacrifice even more of Jordan and lake Genesareth to make another desert bloom. If Egypt does it, Egypt is likely to want it for Egyptians rather than Gazawis. Not sure if Bardawil Lake lends itself to the project, though.

1:29 Platform for a protest .... in honour of English friends who like to nickname 4th of July "Traitor Day" ... wasn't there one in Boston, about some tea-leaves?

More seriously, ICE may right now be pushing California out of the Union. Because ICE is in LA violating states rights.

3:43 It was inconceivable to her that a Star Spangled Banner commissioned by President Roosevelt could be off-limits in a state with one of the highest number of Spanish speakers, most of whom are US Citizens, simply never gave up Spanish in some cases (you are aware that "los angeles" is Spanish for "the angels", I hope).

But you had to twist that into her being the kind of person who's never heard a no in her life.

4:25 Oh, even if LA is actually welcoming these foreigners and taking ICE as the actual invader?

It's still reprehensible for her to stand up for States rights and the rights of her city?

7:10 Nezza is not a legal or illegal immigrant. She's born of two immigrants, but of an ethnicity well represented where they came. An ethnicity which arrived there before certain gold diggers of English language.

For how many generations do you propose that immigrants and their citizen descendants are good for hard work and nothing that smacks of entitlement?

I thought the whole point of the application process was so one could be legally entitled to things. Like residing or doing things citizens do, depending on what the application process was for.

8:14 You are completely out of touch with the case you are commenting on.

Vanessa Hernandez' parents are middle class. You don't become middle class by not respecting the laws of the country you are in.

And as to LA, citing the general case for Trump's policy, that's pretty inflammatory after Alex Padilla, a US Senator, was handcuffed.

That was pretty much even longer ago than Golda Meir was PM.

3:43 Yes, the IDF was so kind to Christians about protecting them from internal quarrels, that the IDF preferred to do the quarrelling themselves.

4:54 October 7 was a genocidal type of terror act, but not a carried out genocide.

Blockades of food since 2009, that's a consistent policy of a prolonged genocidal act.

Gazawis are allowed the food Israel supplies, some times also what UNWRA supplies, but that has stopped. UNWRA is obliged to cooperate with Hamas, because that's civil authorities. If the US needed UNO relief tomorrow, the UNO relief organisations would be obliged to cooperate with Trump, even if there are people in those circles who wouldn't like that. Israelis claim that UNWRA relief has been hijacked, Hamas is controlling it and selling it for weapons.

Meanwhile, whatever cash Gaza has had, the flow of actual food has consistently been too slow, and foreign private initiatives like the Freedom Flotilla or the Soumoud caravan which would not have been needing to collaborate closely with Hamas, have been stopped from giving relief, well before October 7. Starving people is part of why certain camps were considered as genocidal. The parents of Dita Krauss didn't die in gas chambers. Her father died in typhoid, and her mother after getting out, because she had been starved and wasn't used to eating normally. Are you telling her, her mother was not a victim of Nazi crimes?

5:11 I was actually going to concede that things like the attack on the Kfar Aza kibbutz were genocidal.

Let's check. In Kfar Aza, 80 Israelis died. If you like, you can say 80/950 or 80/700 is more proportionally than 55 720 on 2 000 000.

But if Kfar Aza was emptied, it was emptied by IDF, not Hamas. IDF is also trying to empty Gaza.

5:28 The Israeli government was warned.

They didn't act. There was a peace process going on. October 7 disrupted it. And the Israeli government seems to be fine with that.

5:41 Orally, she's not all that well prepared to show evidence, but here is an article of the New York Times:

Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago
By Ronen Bergman and Adam Goldman Reporting from Tel Aviv Published Nov. 30, 2023 Updated Dec. 2, 2023
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html

A blueprint reviewed by The Times laid out the attack in detail. Israeli officials dismissed it as aspirational and ignored specific warnings.

What is your evidence that Bergman and Goldman would lie about their government?

[tried to add:]

To be fair, the article as such says, the Israeli militaries were simply incompetently underestimating Hamas.

5:45 "the worst killing of Jews since" well, 1945.

So much for the idea that Israel is the haven for Jewish safety.

6:09 The evidence to anything except her claim is that the IDF was incompetent.

6:36 Yeah, right. The day after Tsukkot and on a Shabbat, the Israeli Defense Force is not able to respond ...

And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places
[1 Machabees 2:41]

The IDF has actually shown more skill on the occasion known as Yom Kippur war, right?

11:28 You are aware that one of the matches between Israel and the West is: Israel is OK with gay marriage (Israelis can marry online "in Utah" while remaining in Israel), and with abortion (Women who get pregnant while serving in the IDF are entitled to free, state-funded abortion, while abortions need a medical committee, this one nearly always approves).

In other words, what lines Israel up with "the West" is what you and I want to get the West away from in part.

DNA tests for Lebanese Jordanian = heritage of the Greater Israel that Jesus founded as a by-product of the Church 2000 years ago.

If she thought she was "100 % Arab" she never learned the distinction between Arab and Mustariba.

Palestinians, like Jordanians and Lebanese are not "Arab" in the sense of the distinction, but "Mustariba." It means they are a different people that became Arabised.

Jordanians = Edom, Moab, Ammon. Lebanon = Canaan. And Palestinians? Well, Israelites, obviously.

9:32 Lion and lamb.

Take St. Severine of Noricum as a lamb.

Take Odoacar as a lion.

They had a nice chat, and the result was that the Roman élite of Noricum was evacuated to Naples. That's why the biography of St. Severine (who stayed in Noricum, died in modern Mautern, near Krems, in Austria) was written by one Eugippius, who wrote in a monastery in Naples. Eugippius was part of the evacuees, of course.

Or take St. Clotilda as a lamb, and Clovis as a lion, they literally lay down in the same bed. They had five children (surviving).

9:32 "world peace"

There is no actual prophecy about world peace. (1)

Tovia Singer gave a break-down about the ones so interpreted, and mainly two categories.

1) No wars between Judah and Ephraim - fulfilled in the Palestinians;
2) The word of peace shall go out to the Gentiles - but doesn't say they will be obeying.

10:34 Jesus is the triumphant Messiah already from the Resurrection, indeed from His descent into Hades.

People Who Take Nimrod's Oppressive City for Noah's Altar, Have a Spiritual Problem · I think two sculpted things from the Taş Tepeler guarantee they are NOT Noah's work

"This is Way Worse Than I Thought"... | Göbekli Tepe Prophecy
Off The Kirb Ministries | 14 June 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEPtDZ9hIX4

9:13 Pounding stones were used to create a contemporary moa on Easter Island, before the eyes of Thor Heyerdahl

10:17 There was certainly ONE man who "began to be a giant" or "began to be mighty" at Göbekli Tepe.

For more details, see Genesis 10 and Genesis 11.

10:26 I most certainly DO deny they were ante-diluvians.

Nimrod made a relatively clumsy attempt at regaining pre-Flood technology. He was decent in astronomy and trigonometry, though.

Carbon date 9500 BC = real date 2607 BC, death of Noah
Carbon date 8500 or 8000 BC = real date 2556 BC, birth of Peleg

Carbon date of 2957 BC (year of the Flood)? 39 000 BP / 37 000 BC.

10:31 Stone henge is, most parts, younger than Genesis 14.

There was some ground laying of a circle in "8000 BC" (after Babel) and next level is "3200 BC" in carbon dates, while Genesis 14 goes back all the way to "3500 BC" in carbon dates.

11:53 "and then it was buried"

= and they ceased to build the city (Genesis 11).

Leaders, like but not limited to Nimrod, didn't want to even see the place where communication broke down between the work teams.

17:31 Against his theory:

1) you find unclean animals and unclean birds priorised in GT
2) and you find depictions of decapitated people with vultures on the shoulders that look like Polynesian birdmen.

It's an insult to Noah.

In Göbekli Tepe you have also found perforated skulls, that were probably stringed on top of each other. Nimrod boasting his capacity for "punishment" ....

18:18 If Nimrod had roamed the earth as the mightiest of Palaeolithic hunters prior to GT, he certainly knew animals.

18:48 There is not much "South", there is SW by W from Ararat to GT.

"Removing from the East" as the correct translation says ....

19:35 What if Nimrod was trying to preserve his excuse for not trusting the promise of God?

If my carbon tables are correct, the Younger Dryas is a certainly post-Flood layer, and it involves a comet strike.

THE excuse Nimrod took to telling people "we can't trust the promise of God, we must make sure 'never again' that Flood" ...

Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it was through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power. He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach! and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers!

Josephus, Antiquities, Book I, Chapter 4, § 2
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2848/2848-h/2848-h.htm#link2HCH0004

20:32 Nimrod would have had a motive to look back at the Flood to drive home the point (if Josephus is correct) that God had already sent destruction and they needed to get higher up, by their own efforts.

The "handbags" are probably buckets. This is known from later Assyrian art and texts.

21:56 The one assumption I do change is a stable carbon 14 level of c. 100 pmC.

A carbon date two halflives ago would be 9435 BC, but the samples only go back that far if the sample started out with 100 pmC. Mainstream scientists would agree with me, that a thing dated to (better match) 8295 BC would have been, in 2565 BC, down to 50 pmC. And the difference is, I also think it was at 50 pmC in 2565 BC, I just think it was then that the sample started, i e the atmosphere was 50 pmC back then.

A relative stability of carbon 14 in the atmosphere is to be expected, since the atmosphere functions as a very big sample, and a century of constant flux between very high and very low carbon 14 levels would be more costly in radioactive origins of carbon 14 plus other events, than simply a few centuries of a fairly steady rise would be.

22:01 We do know that what was in the sample to begin with is likely to reflect what was in the atmosphere previously, with some delays.

For instance, grass will reflect what was in the atmosphere the last year. A tree what was in the atmosphere for c. 50 or 100 years. An animal living mainly on grass or cereals (including man) would reflect the atmosphere the last 7 years. By living on meat, one would increase that delay. By eating fish and shellfish, one would get some pretty old carbon, getting the carbon age to a few centuries before one lived.

So, it's not as if the original carbon content was "just anyone's guess" prior to decay starting, if one holds to Young Earth Creationism, as I do, one has to admit that the carbon 14 content rose relatively slowly in the armosphere, and this started after the Flood.

Hence, a carbon rise from 1.6 pmC to 100 pmC over 1778 years, from Flood to Fall of Troy, definitely is feasible. A constant wobble up and down isn't. Having a shorter time between Flood and Fall of Troy, like Ussher chronology instead of Roman Martyrology for Christmas Day ... just maybe. Or maybe not.

23:10 "4000 BC" for Ur is definitely NOT lining up with the Biblical timeline, unless you admit it's a carbon date that's off.

I have Abraham born in 2015 BC, as per Roman Martyrology saying so.

I have the carbon date "4000 BC" in the actual date 2020 BC, as per intercalations between end of Babel (birth of Peleg at youngest layer of Göbekli Tepe) and Genesis 14 (archaeology of En Geddi carbon dates, at the end, to "3500 BC"). For 2020 BC to carbon date as "4000 BC" we need to have had then a carbon 14 level in the atmosphere risen as high as 78.688 pmC, which is feasible, if you accept 51.766 pmC at the end of Babel and 82.763 pmC when Abraham was 80 years old, in Genesis 14 (actually, between 75 and 85, Ishmael born when he was 86, but 80 is a round medium value of his age in Genesis 14).

24:50 I would rather say that the vultures in Apocalypse 19 are God's REVENGE for the vultures that Nimrod, at Göbekli Tepe, used as terror like punishments.

Göbekli Tepe, vultures are used by a slave hunter to punish shirkers.

Apocalypse 19, God is reversing the set-up, punishing slave hunters.

26:05 Yes, exactly, and the Flood narrative like pictures on some pillars, as per the impression you shared, would fit the propaganda narrative of Nimrod.

Like Nimrod, some people are now reducing God's motive for the Flood to being a "genocidal maniac" (but with superhuman powers).

You may have noticed, some enemies of God have also spoken about the Flood.

And if you ask me to answer them, before the Flood, slavery was even more complete than at Göbekli Tepe.

26:19 And you may want to know where we see Noah's emphasis on animals?

On much more beautiful art, like Lascaux or Altamira. Where, along horses, along mammoths, the animals are often clean animals (an Aurochs has fully cloven hoofs and is a real ruminant).

27:14 Another nail in the coffin for Göbekli Tepe as God's altar, the stones at Göbekli Tepe are hewn stones. Quarried stones.

The stones for patriarchal altars were of un-hewn stones. Stones you simply pick up from the ground and make a roughly regular pile of, with a roughly flat top.

27:36 sqrt(1600) = 40.

28:09 God. I checked if "built" was an appropriate verb, Genesis 2:22 says it is.*

30:08 "not through being religious, not through doing rituals"

Sorry, but your individual soteriology is off. The sacraments would fall under what you call "rituals" and the way we approach them would fall under what you call "being religious" ...

And the Church preserves that, because Jesus gave that (Mt 26:26)

30:32 If you double-check John 3 as a chapter, Jesus is actually requiring us** to believe what He has chosen is good. He is requiring us to act it.

If that involves what you would call rituals, see verse 5, btw, why would I bother with your characterisation over Jesus' words?

* Ps. 138:5 prefers "formed" ... a few verses lower "made" ...
** Meaning, go to a Catholic Catechism and not to Joe Kirb's words, about how to get saved!

About Deicide.

We have all killed Jesus with our sins. However, rejecting Jesus was a major sin, and collective in those who chose to belong to the rejecting and not the rejected community (ancestral to Christian Palestinians, btw).

One can also refer to the guilt of killing Jesus by killing his members, like Saul once upon a time was participant in killing Stephen.

So, the Catholic theology in question is no disproof of Catholicism being real Christianity.

[on the OT sacrificial system, earlier in the video]

6:55 Speaking of which, the Green ex-Desert in Israel proves the Sacrificial System of the OT is past.

The deserts found in Judaea, in the Mandate, it was not because "Arabs" (Mustariba, really, and of Israelite root) neglected basic concepts that could have avoided desertification.

No, that desert was mentioned in the Mosaic law as well as in Matthew 4 and in Luke 4.

The Flowering Desert is at the cost of draining both Jordan and Kinnereth, but also the OT Sacrificial System.

0:46 For protecting and defending our homeland, said the captain?

Against a girl of 22 and against Gazawis able to eat, right?

Is that captain flirting with the idea to look like Nimrod Ben Kush, in manners and in gematria?

2:10 Have you heard of the Caravan Soomood?

Have you heard how truckloads of food were rejected on the Libyan and Egyptian border, on the request of Israel?

I think it begins to show that Netanyahu doesn't want the Gazawis too well fed.

And when that is being pointed out, he makes a preventive strike on Iran, which obviously shuts down the Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Air Port.

What an excuse for them to keep retaining your colleague in prison!

3:18 Customs?

Israel is not letting in food supplies for Gaza through customs either. As far as I can see, the Caravan Soomood is still detained and asked to turn at the Egyptian border, and people who came legally by plane were deported.

And speaking of customs, the crew of the Madleen had the passports in order.

The story is fictional, but the attitude I comment on is current in circles pretty typical for Trump or at least his admirers

5:52 "Big Corporations? They're the one creating jobs."

A bakery like Harrys is certainly likely to hire more people than a bakery at the street corner in Paris. But

Pain de mie 100% Mie Harrys Nature petites tranches - 500g = 1,90 €Prix promotionnel 3,80 € / 1kg
Baguette - 250 g = 1:10 €, so, 4:40 € / 1kg

That extra 60 centimes per kilogramme (normally 40 centimes, 1,90 € being a promo) exists partly because the precincts take up more space for feeding 1000 people with baguettes than for feeding them with Harrys, but also it pays more people working to make them and more of them are their own business owners.

So, it's small business that create jobs better.

[Tried to add]

It can be added, street corner bakeries save in bread price by saving transport costs.

Also good from Greta Thunberg's classical perspective.

2:29 Some people do walk with hands behind the back, and we don't know how much she was handcuffed before the release, but nevertheless, let's take the German case.

1) Police had the orders to remove and detain protesters.
2) They had no orders to stop posing once the protesters were removed.
3) There were no violent acts committed at the protest (unlike some in LA) that would have warranted security motivated restrictions on posing.
4) She was a media celebrity, so, why wouldn't they let her?

So, she was not pretending in the least. Stop spreading fake news about her!

3:02 By the way, if someone had asked her, and it wasn't a coincidence, I bet she would have answered "no, I'm not handcuffed, but maybe Thiago Ávila is, maybe Liam Cunningham is ..."

There were other detainees at the moment she could have named, glad Rima Hassan, Yasemin Acar and Şuayb Ordu are already safe, as well as the French Doctor who on arriving witnessed at length about harsh conditions in Israeli prison once the cameras were off.

"They were detained, not kidnapped." (comment)

One and same physical action would be detainment if it happened in Israel's territorial waters, conceivably, but even then it would be for an illegal policy of blockade.

But if it happened on international waters, it's piracy and kidnapping.

"Kidnapping is a massive accusation. She was deported, get over it" (comment)

The deportation ended the kidnapping.

One which, according to testimony of fellow detainee Baptiste André, Dr. Med. involved sleep deprivation, a form of torture used by Communists on quite a few of their camps and prisons.

"She needs professional help" (Graham Richardson)

Used, as not unusually, as a cue for refusing justice to someone already victim of a crime.
