A belief to me proves only the phenomenon of belief, not the content of the belief.

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.

-Carl Jung, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections"

Touching evil brings with it the grave peril of succumbing to it.

-Carl Jung, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections"

The individual is so unconscious that he fails to see his own potentialities for decision. Instead he is constantly and anxiously looking around for external rules and regulations which can guide him in his perplexity.

-Carl Jung, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections"

Meaninglessness inhibits fullness of life and is therefore equivalent to illness. Meaning makes a great many things endurable - perhaps everything.

1/16 A thread:

The enemy isn’t clever, only brazen
Tenacious and fighting for every inch
Every inch requires your submission
Your submission requires your consent

2/16

Your consent comes when you are unmoored from Truth
When your foundation is ruptured
When you are in fear because you no longer are connected to Truth
When you are lost in darkness and there is no Light to guide you
The Enemy knows this

3/16

It explains everything you are seeing in plain view
Forgive them for they know not what they do
It is the Serpent of Evil acting through them
They are conquered slaves who think they are kings

4/16

Why do you see the unraveling of everything before you?
Why are they intent on the Great Reset?
How do they formally execute the greatest power grab in the history of the world?

5/16

They must create chaos
Remove pillars of cohesive society
Erase everything you think you know
So they may tell you what you know

1/ Lockdowns are painful. Even Ontario's version will cause suffering for a lot of people. Compliance is high when people see results that are working and can see tangible proof that the tumult in their lives is contributing to the greater good.

2/ Most people's measure will be daily case counts. By delaying our mockdown 5 days Ford has basically endorsed family gatherings for Christmas day.
So that leaves us with our already record case counts about to be added to from a Christmas surge.

3/ People, who are already sacrificing so much, will see an increase of cases by the middle of January rather than a drop. At that point, they will have been "hunkered" down for 3 weeks and instead of a decrease, they'll be seeing similar or higher numbers.

4/ This is why these 5 days, at this time of year are so important. Modelling from yesterday showed a SIX-week lockdown started *immediately* would take current case counts down from 2300ish to around 500.

5/ The current mockdown is 28 days which even without the Christmas surge would not be enough to have a meaningful impact. Here's the issue, by delaying 5 days, even after all the sacrifices people have made, the numbers will still be high when we add the Xmas surge.

Today, I picked up my final paycheck from Colorado Community Media. I am going to miss working with the company’s outstanding roster of journalists. I want to thank CCM for the opportunity it has provided me.

I was let go Friday, Jan. 22, following a series of events…(1/21)

(2/21) In short, I was fired following my reluctance to sign a document agreeing to punishments placed upon me. They included: limiting my social media use to only share CCM stories/reach out to sources and…

(3/21)…Requiring me to receive approval from my editor to reach out to a source more than 3 times. (More on that later). I was able to slightly negotiate out words like “harassment” and “personal agenda,” however the list of reprimands themselves seemed non-negotiable.

(4/21) My publisher told me I had two options: Sign the document or resign. He had previously agreed to let me turn the document in on Monday (today). On Friday, I said I would consider signing the document on Monday.

I was fired that afternoon.

(5/21) I was willing to sign the disciplinary document, despite my disagreements, with the condition that my company show support for me, on my behalf, in a battle for information I had with the Town of Parker. They refused.

Am I about to watch Point Break for the umpteenth time?

It is the me plus ultra good/bad movie

The first five minutes of this film is a symphony of terribly awesome dialog

Whatever happened to LA bank robberies? Like was that really such a thing or did Hollywood just persuade us it was so?

You wait for a big drop from .@CodeMonkeyZ but if you want something serious to focus on, check this out. Who owns qalerts? Who develops it? Not 8kun. They have a role but not nearly as big as you think. How does Q relay intel? Have a gander...

I’ll also go on another Orwell tangent: Conservatives love calling any new “woke” word that enters common usage as “Orwellian”, because they don’t want to be “forced” by social pressure to learn new terminology important to people whose humanity they refuse to acknowledge anyway

But Newspeak is a version of English where descriptive words have been removed, not added. 1984 is written with a deeply limited vocabulary set.......so in fact, conservatives share an ideology with *the villains* of 1984.

Newspeak is not called that because the words are new. It’s called that because that’s *exactly* what authoritarian fascists would call a restrictive language set, it’s propaganda. The state in the book came up with the name, and that context is important

It’s “Newspeak” for the same reason they’re “National Socialists”, an intentional misnomer intended to obscure reality, to wear down your defences. Fascists don’t call a spade a spade, they point at a cloudy sky and say “it is sunny”, until you’re tired of arguing with them.

Fascists may claim to value free speech, but they jump at the chance to censor specific words, and it’s not the words they themselves would use. That’s why they hate obscenities and any kind of terminology related to social justice, but not slurs.

Bede's Sources: A Thread 📚

Bede gives James the Deacon, a companion of Paulinus (first Northumbrian missionary) surprisingly short shrift. Esp as Paulinus was resolute enough to remain in the North when Paulinus’ mission broke down (& he lived to play a part in the Synod of Whitby).

It’s difficult to see why James (who lived mostly nr Catterick) didn’t become one of the great legendary figures of the Northumbrian Church, unless he was either really dull or his oral record didn’t survive until the point a monastery could jot it down.

Earliest extant life of an English saint is the anon. Lindisfarne Life of Cuthbert, bishop of Lindisfarne and hermit of Farne, written c.699.

Whitby is rly the star of Bede’s work. It was to Whitby that the relics of Edwin were translated and traditions about Edwin were included in the Whitby “Life of Gregory [the Great]” written c.704. It was at Whitby that Oswiu was buried etc.

We're LIVE for the 2nd in a 3-part series around #EquityinEducation! We are grateful to have @DrDBL & @SuptEnfield joining us today for this important conversation. Follow along in this thread ⤵️ #BringPeopeTogether #TeVirtualEvents @EquitySupt1 @KafrissenKai

starts us off with a group activity to recognize our White Privilege. Kai acknowledges that she is showing up today in her own way, and leaning into these conversations as best she can. How are you showing up today? #BringPeopleTogether #TeVirtualEvents

reminds us why we are bringing people together for this work. 90% of school district leaders in the US are white. 90% also stated that the work of #DEI is important but only 20% believe that they are equipped with the skills and talent to lead this work! #Equity

- Hope is not a strategy! For marginalized populations hope is the only thing they have to hold on to, unless leaders like us pick up this work and accelerate it. #BringPeopleTogether #DEI #Equity #EquityInEducation

tells us that when she moved to Highline public schools (diverse population) she was criticized for moving too quickly in this work. There is a sense of urgency because we are so behind and we are playing catch up! #EquityInEducation #DEI

Very interesting.

Mood, snake, savage on one side, a diamond on the other, and what is that — apple sliced in half and pizza? Is Elon confirming the rumour about what NASA did on Mars? If Mars was on our planet - where would that be?

The red car is Mars in the Parkade in the background goes underground. The Cybertruck is often shown on Mars, in fact I have an amazing CGI video clip of it that I posted once. So this little kid compacts into a cyber truck and then vanishes out of sight...

Cybertruck... and the Parkade goes down into the basement… Think about Cyberpunk77 and how it’s linked to Keanu Reeves who has played the character John in approximately 30 movies. Think of Christopher Reeves and Elon Reeve Musk...

When we think about culpability for the events of Jan 6, who to blame, and how to move forward, there are parallels to be found in the torture era in the "war on terror." And there are so many mistakes from that era that we might usefully consider today.

Obviously there are significant differences in substance, and I am not seeking to draw some specific parallel between the actors themselves, only how we approach accountability at the top and at the bottom.

During the United States' torture era, for lack of a better phrase, we had, as here, elite and highly trained lawyers, public figures, and government officials condoning, legally justifying, and calling for--in that case ordering--certain actions.

The Office of Legal Counsel within the Justice Department issued memoranda, seeking to justify the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques," in an effort to legally sanction the mistreatment of detainees and provide legal cover for those carrying it

The truth is that despite these elite lawyers' willingness to turn the law into a pretzel to justify this mistreatment, it was unlawful. It was torture. And it was a war crime.

‘Good King Wenceslas’ is a rather odd carol. Who was Wenceslas, and why do we sing about him at Christmas?

#thread
⛪St Andrew's, Wood Walton, Cambridgeshire

Wenceslas was a 10thC Duke of Bohemia (his name in his native Czech was Vaclav). When he was a teenager, his mother sent assassins to murder his grandmother, and then set herself up as Regent.

When Wenceslas turned 18 he banished his mother and took control, giving half of the country to his younger brother, Boleslaus. But on 28 Sept 935, his brother invited him to a feast, and then murdered him. 😱
It was all very Game of Thrones!

Wenceslas was a devout Christian and was passionate about giving alms to the poor - widows, orphans, even prisoners. After his assassination by ‘Boleslaus the Cruel’, ‘Vaklav the Good’ was immediately venerated as a martyr. He was canonised, and posthumously made a King.

Fast forward to 1853, when prolific hymn writer John Mason Neale was looking for a carol for St Stephen’s Day (Boxing Day), a day of charity.
