A quotation from Roosevelt, Teddy

Of one man in especial, beyond any one else, the citizens of a republic should beware, and that is of the man who appeals to them to support him on the ground that he is hostile to other citizens of the republic, that he will secure for those who elect him, in one shape or another, profit at the expense of other citizens of the republic. It makes no difference whether he appeals to class hatred or class interest, to religious or anti-religious prejudice. The man who makes such an appeal should always be presumed to make it for the sake of furthering his own interest.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

PRAGUE

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic and the historical capital of Bohemia. On the Vltava river, Prague is home to about 1.3 million people.The city has a temperate oceanic climate, with relatively warm summers and chilly winters.
- Prague is a political, cultural, and economic hub of central Europe, with a rich history and Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architectures. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably Charles IV (r. 1346–1378) and Rudolf II (r. 1575–1611).

It was an important city to the Habsburg monarchy and Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and the Protestant Reformations, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia between the World Wars and the post-war Communist era.

That’s why a new #discovery reported in the latest #Science is so important. A team of investigators has uncovered the exquisitely preserved skull of a hominid dating back some 1.8 million years at a site called #Dimanisi, in the #Republic of #Georgia, in #Central-Asia. And that #artifact raises doubts about the generally accepted idea that several #human species populated the #Earth at that time.

“We have one #global human species today,” said Christoph Zollikofer, of the #Anthropological Institute and #Museum in #Zurich, #Switzerland, a co-author of the Science report, at a press conference.

“And what we can infer from our study is that 1.8 million years ago there was another [single] global human species.”

Why are so many #Brits apathetic or so sure that their tiny lives are all there is to existence? Most are incapable of agapē (love-in-action) for anyone outside their circle of loved-ones. Egotistic and selfish to their very cores. Hence why #BREXIT came to pass and why all kinds of #hate, hatefulness & hate-crime are flourishing. #Fascism, or at least some kind of ultra-right-wing #totalitarianism is now the one-way street along which these once great isles are now travelling. #Fairness, #Justice, #Equity have all been sacrificed so that Brits do not have to think: think for themselves; distracting themselves at every opportunity so they do not need to think whatsoever. Unthinkingly, Brits have placed themselves in a gaol with nought but gruel to sustain us. I recall #AllegoryOfTheCave from #Plato’s #Republic. Wake up #Britain: let us be known as #GreatBritain once more!

I am one of the 2,000,000 disabled individuals who received zero #UKgov support.

Under the #Covid19 #pandemic #Lockdown, “The Government was so scared of what people might think, suddenly forced to live on so little, that they gave basic benefits a little boost during this time, by £20 per week (£1,040 a year), up from around £70 in normal times. But they didn’t add this extra cash to old-school benefits. Two million #disabled people didn’t get anything extra. Determined to push people on to #UniversalCredit (#UC), and citing creaky old computer systems for the old-style benefits, the Government said it couldn’t be done.”

David Cameron’s Appointment to Cabinet 'Another Reminder Why the House of Lords Must Go'

Former Prime Minister David Cameron’s appointment as Foreign Secretary – despite having left Parliament in 2016 – has triggered fresh calls to abolish the House of Lords.

Cameron replaces James Cleverly, who has moved to ousted cabinet minister Suella Braverman’s former role of Home Secretary.

There is no constitutional requirement for a cabinet minister to be an elected MP, but it is very rare that senior offices of state are held by unelected politicians. Lobbyist Cameron has been handed a seat in the 800-odd member House of Lords for life to take up the role.

Today campaign group Republic demanded a written constitution and elected upper house following the move.

Republic’s CEO, Graham Smith, said: “This appointment joins a string of recent outrages that remind us of the urgent need to ditch the Lords in favour of an elected upper house.

How They Secretly Control Us

#agnotology #silentweapons #theyareusingyou

TABLE OF STRATEGIES

Do this: To get this:
Keep the public ignorant | Less public organization
Maintain access to control points for feedback | Required reaction to outputs (prices, sales)
Create preoccupation | Lower defenses
Attack the family unit | Control of the education of the young
Give less cash and more credit and doles | More self-indulgence and more data
Attack the privacy of the church | Destroy faith in this sort of government
Social conformity | Computer programming simplicity
Minimize the tax protest | Maximum economic data, minimum enforcement problems
Stabilize the consent | Simplicity coefficients
Tighten control of variables | Simpler computer input data -- greater predictability
Establish boundary conditions | Problem simplicity / solutions of differential and difference equations
Proper timing | Less data shift and blurring
Maximize control | Minimum resistance to control
Collapse of currency | Destroy the faith of the American people in each other.

The Satanic Essence of Globalism

The #Archbishop explains the nature of modern Babelism and why it seeks to #erase every aspect of #Christianity from #society:

The essence of #globalism is #satanic, and the essence of #Satanism is #globalist. Because #Satan’s plan is to establish the #reign of the #Antichrist, allowing him to parody #Christ’s earthly life, to imitate His miracles with grotesque wonders, to lead crowds not with the simplicity of #Truth but with #deception and #lies. Globalism is, so to speak, the staging, the script and the scenario that must prepare humanity for the political ascent of the Antichrist, to whom the leaders of the world – his servants – will cede #national #sovereignty so that he becomes a kind of global tyrant.

But the kingdom of the Antichrist is not created out of nothing: it is first necessary to erase what remains of the kingdom of Christ in the institutions, in the culture and in the daily life of the citizens. Moral dissolution is one of the simplest means of subjugating the masses, encouraging them to vice, ridiculing virtue; and, of course, by destroying the natural family, the fundamental cell of society. Once the family is demolished, the children become commodities, products that those with money can order over the Internet, fuelling the vast and growing criminal network, not to mention the surrogacy industry. #Divorce, #abortion, #euthanasia, #homosexuality and #pansexualism, #mutilation for #gender #transition have proven to be effective tools for eliminating not only the revealed #Faith, but also the most sacred principles of #NaturalLaw.

And it is indeed a #religion, the one that is being established with the #Woke ideology; a religion which, like the true Religion but with diametrically opposed goals, intends to impose itself in society, to imbue its #dogmas into the #institutions, the #laws, the #education, the #culture, the #arts and human activities. The globalists apply the Catholic principles of “social kingship,” but proclaim Satan king of society: Te nationum præsides honore tollant publico: colant magistri, judices; leges et artes exprimant. May the rulers of the world publicly honour and extol Thee; May teachers and judges reverence Thee; May the laws and the arts bear Thy mark. These are the words of the hymn of Christ the King, but we see them applied blasphemously by the priests of the #NewWorldOrder to their king, the prince of this world, and to the Antichrist in his time.

Beware though: globalism, as an emanation of #Masonic and revolutionary thought, apparently proclaims #democracy and condemns #absolute regimes; but in fact, it knows very well that the #Monarchy of #DivineRight is the best possible form of government, because it subjugates everyone – including the king himself, who is the #Vicar of Christ in temporal things – to a #transcendent law to which everyone owes #obedience.

It’s a hard thing for many #Americans to accept that the revolutionary concepts of #freedom and #liberty and #equality around which the original #Republic was founded were #evil #philosophical #seeds planted during the #Enlightenment. But the #wicked #nature of their fruits, and the #bitter #harvest they have entailed, can hardly be denied.

It suits #Supranational #Elite #Scion #puppeteers to have intellectually indolent, credulous & #foolish people in positions of #power because they are easy to #control.

This is why they fund #political campaigns of low-calibre people & leverage their ownership of mass #media to thwart political campaigns of high-calibre people.

It isn't much to do with the left/right #dichotomy, but more to do with an Elite/The People dichotomy. Elite #Scions fund & #manipulate "both" "sides" of #politics to suit their interests, regardless of how that impacts the rest of us.

The #problem with the #USA is that it has #mutated from a #Republic into an Imperial #Plutocracy.

Not My King: it’s not a crime to say it

The Tory's Fascist Kingdom has arrived

Protest organisers at King Charles’ coronation have been arrested, and placards confiscated.

The protest was all legal and agreed with the police, but organisers were arrested on their arrival. It is the latest in a series of state over-reaches trying to stop awkward questions about the UK’s new, unelected head of state.

Scotland Yard later said “several” arrests had been made for breach of the peace and conspiracy to cause public disorder.

What did Confederates want to preserve?

A #Constitutional #Republic that #Lincoln ultimately destroyed.

If they wanted to “preserve” slavery (which was not unconstitutional and not illegal above or below the Mason Dixion Line), they could have simply accepted The Northern backed Lincoln endorsed #Corwin #Amendment which passed both houses of Congress with NO SOUTHERN VOTES if they ended “the secession crisis” and returned to the Union which would have granted the South free access to slavery in perpetuity.

Later in the war the same offer was made twice only if those times the South laid down arms and returned to the Union.

All three times the offers were refused making the ongoing #lie the South ”fought to keep people enslaved” revisionist poppycock, but said #revisionism and 160+ years of Northern falsehood has 95% of the nation's population convinced the South seceeded and suffered the worst war in American history so that a fraction of their upper class could retain something they were already eliminating through peacefull manumission.
