About Stalin

December 21, 1878 Birthday of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin

Image/photo

Under Stalin, the USSR developed at a pace unattainable for the world, in just 20 years making a breakthrough unprecedented in history, which made it possible to defeat the fascist scum that had gathered under its banners the economic and military potential of almost all of Europe. Under Stalin was laid the foundation for our nuclear missile shield and a breakthrough into space. Under Stalin, the cult of knowledge and labor made us strive in science and make world discoveries and breakthroughs. Under Stalin, just two years after the war, cards were abolished and annual price reductions began. Under Stalin, our country and our people enjoyed worldwide recognition and respect.

“The many deeds of our Party and people will be perverted and slandered first of all abroad, and in our country as well. #Zionism, aspiring to world domination, will cruelly avenge us for our successes and achievements. It still considers Russia as a barbaric country, as a raw material appendage. And my name will also be slandered. Many atrocities will be attributed to me.”

I.V. Stalin, 1939

Mismanaged Analogy - by Helen Dale and Lorenzo Warby

#history #politics #imperialism

European Powers could conquer so much of the world with what were mostly minor expeditionary forces because European organisational dominance was so great. This implies that what’s happening with those institutions will continue to matter. It’s simply not true—as the authors claim—that Western mass prosperity “was constructed on a flow of wealth from the less-developed world into the West” (p.143) and it is fundamentally innumerate (and economically illiterate) to claim so.

Partial #justice. No amount of money will compensate for decades of humiliation to the millions of Iraqis dead, living and unborn.

Key word: "Greco-Roman". Rome actually domineered Greece.

Women in the World of the Earliest Christians: Illuminating Ancient Ways of Life by Lynn Cohick, 2009Lynn Cohick provides an accurate and fulsome picture of the earliest Christian women by examining a wide variety of first-century Jewish and Greco-Roman documents that illuminate their lives. She organizes the book around three major spheres of life: family, religious community, and society in general.

Cohick shows that although women during this period were active at all levels within their religious communities, their influence was not always identified by leadership titles nor did their gender always determine their level of participation. The book corrects our understanding of early Christian women by offering an authentic and descriptive historical picture of their lives. Includes black-and-white illustrations from the ancient world.

Jews are about to start building a new #temple in #Jerusalem, the first since 70 AD. They reckon they have to knock down the glorious Al-Asqa mosque because that is exactly where their new Temple has to be. However that was not the site of their ancient temple: which existed within the ancient walled City of David.

Due north of that is the so-called Temple Mount, which had no temple on it because it was built as a #Roman fortress.

No God will answer the one million prayers stuck into the cracks of the Wailing Wall every year – it’s just the side of what was once Fort Antonia.

This talk will call for a #worldwide campaign to help Jews remember where their #ancient Temple was, and thereby #avoid #WW3.
NICHOLAS KOLLERSTROM, Ph.D., ex-academic and ‘conspiracy theorist,’ has co-run London post-9/11 discussion group for ten years which meets monthly, for which he receives periodic ethical damnation. He has written the only #911 truth book to be banned by Amazon: Who Did 9/11? (2019).

Long ago, in a previous lifetime, he was invited to contribute the ‘Isaac Newton’ entry to the prestigious Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers. His book on the London 7/7 subway bombings, Terror on the Tube (3rd ed., 2011), remains more or less the only book on the subject–which is strange, given the dozens of books about 9/11. His latest publication is The Great British #Coronavirus #Hoax. See article concerning material in that book at James Fetzer website

#Britain’s Biblical Storm, The #Great #Storm of #1703
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tccWmr9bZYA
#history 10,000 dead from this storm
The Great Storm of 1703 struck southern #England and #Wales on the night of the 25th November 1703. It would leave over 10,000 dead in its wake, and 13 Royal Navy warships destroyed, including the whole channel squadron just when England was at war with France.
Even the monarch, Queen Anne had to flee before its fury. And whilst the Storm of #1987 was actually more powerful, the loss of life was negligible compared to this almost biblical storm 300 years ago.

This is the era where Turks were on the rise abutting the Roman Empire, which had already split into Roman and Byzantine parts because of papal corruption, because the papacy and the imperial government were parasitically attached to each other, one of the reasons why a Roman emperor moved the capital from Rome to Constantinople, and the papacy refused to recognize the move as legitimate (9th century, The Great Schism). Eventually the Turks would best the Byzantines but also had sights on Rome, too.
