The rise of cultural Christianity
Why religion is thriving in a non-believing age.
By Madeleine Davies
“In the 1950s, the key idea was that Britain was a Christian country, and secular society was a really bad idea,” said Brewitt-Taylor. “Because if you go down the secular route, you end up with the Soviet Union. In a Cold War context, that was an extremely powerful framing… The predominant belief was that Christianity underpinned a healthy politics and a healthy society. It was considered the foundation of Western civilisation. It was one of the central reasons why the West had been able to achieve greatness, as they saw it.”
At last year’s National Conservatism Conference in London, James Orr, a professor of the philosophy of religion at Cambridge University, made the case that a “constitutionally and culturally Christian nation” offered the best defence for followers of every faith against a “new progressive theocracy”. National Conservatives kept “banging on about religion”, he explained, because they were alive to the dangers of the new public faith emerging, in which “a new priesthood” was “policing conformity to the new dogmas and doctrines of an elite Gnostic theology”.

There is no "climate crisis".
There is neuro-linguistic programming that seeks to use the word "climate" as a substitute for the destruction of nature and pollution to displace very real problems of deforestation, and pollution of both Earth and sea, onto the atmosphere, where there is no real problem outside polluted air in cities and in the very near proximity of industrial emissions.
The word "climate" is a deception.
Refuse to use it.

American Jewish gangsters actually played a significant role in the establishment of the modern State of Israel by smuggling weapons to Zionist independence fighters in British Palestine at the end of the Second World War, evading a US arms embargo.

In 1945, the Jewish Agency, the pre-state Israeli government headed by David Ben-Gurion, created a vast clandestine arms-purchasing-and-smuggling network throughout the United States. The operation was placed under the aegis of the Haganah, the underground…

OIL & GAS ARE NOT "FOSSIL FUELS". THE SCIENCE EXPLAINED:
"Deep hydrocarbon systems form through transformation of high-temperature deep fluids, which comprise mixtures of various volatile compounds. These processes determine the elemental and group composition of crude oil and natural gas. According to available data, deep fluids represent mixtures of methane, hydrogen, water, carbon dioxide, carbon, hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, NO2, and metal-containing structures. Methane, the main component of deep fluids, is generated in large quantities in the Earth’s interior. Since some components of these mixtures exhibit catalytic activity in the processes of hydrocarbon polymerization, it can be assumed that deep fluids constitute a natural catalytic system. Elemental sulfur present in deep fluids possesses catalytic properties, thus being capable of triggering polymerization processes. This leads to the formation of high-molecular hydrocarbon and organosulfur structures. Metals in deep fluids, particularly vanadium as a catalyst, also trigger the formation of high-molecular complexes, such as porphyrins. Due to incorporation of sulfur and vanadium into crude oils, they become the largest concentrators of these elements. The variability of the ratio of these elements in deep fluids and their redox character affects the intensity of hydrocarbon polymerization processes and formation of organosulfur compounds and metal complexes. This leads to generation of either crude oils with various sulfur and metal contents or natural gas systems."

⚡️Gaza, Palestine; August 22nd, 2024
As far as I am concerned, any "freedom" channel which is not talking about the Gaza genocide by not only Israel (too easy to blame Israel alone) but Israel, the Pentagon, and MI6, is controlled opposition.

Genocide is not culturally sustainable in the long term, as this poll shows. The young are immune to the propaganda mass formation the old succumbed to.

🇮🇱 ISRAELI SETTLERS HAND SMALL BOY RIFLE TO USE AGAINST PALESTINIANS as they graze herds in Haribat an-Nabi, just south of Hebron, Occupied West Bank.
The armed-to-the-teeth squatters are backed by the Israeli government to terrorize and drive out Palestinian farmers, having no reservations passing assault rifles to small children to do the job.

THE REALITY OF GREENHOUSE GASES IN THE ATMOSPHERE
-Water vapour is 95% of them
-CO2 is less than 3% of them
-Man made CO2 only 0.3%
-99.7% ARE NATURAL GASES!

As an expert on the global arms trade I can tell u that if the US, which supplies about 70% of Israel’s arms imports, were to stop all arms sales, the assault on Gaza would grind to a halt within days. And Israel couldn’t just replace the weapons with others from elsewhere, as its military infrastructure is so dependent on American matériel, which requires constant US spare parts, components and ordinance to continue to be usable. So a halt to US arms sales could end the genocide within days. In addition such a cessation would comply with international law and US domestic law on arms exports & human rights which are currently being violated.

Did the Soviet Union have a right to exist? No it didn't. Countries don't have rights, only people do. And when a country does not give equal rights to all its people, regardless of religious belief or ethnicity, then it is better to dissolve that country's existence & create a new one with equal rights for ALL!

Desperate for pro-Palestinian votes, she sheds crocodile tears for "So many innocent lives lost" in Gaza in 10 months that followed, but without having the guts to even mention who caused such suffering (01:03).
Nervous his presidential opponent sounds more pro-genocide, Trump goes on ridiculous rant, calling Harris a "radical Marxist" who "Hates Israel", "CAUSED OCTOBER 7 ATTACKS"
Relax, guys! there's enough genocide to go around!
