The United States has once again voted against a Security Council Resolution calling for a cease fire in the Middle East. There is an exception to the Unanimous Consent Clause of the United Nations Charter and the United States has violated that exception and what little International Law we have over sixty times in support of Israeli genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
America has been a party to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict since the 1920s when the United States and Great Britain decided to to create a modern Israeli State to curb Jewish extremist immigration to the USA and England. The United States of America has actively participated in this war and has supplied the 2000 pound bombs that have already killed tens of thousands of civilians. We have also actively engage in combat in this conflict. We are a party to this dispute.
Article 27 paragraph 3 states: Decisions of the Security Council on all other matters shall be made by an affirmative vote of nine members including the concurring votes of the permanent members; provided that, in decisions under Chapter VI, and under paragraph 3 of Article 52, a party to a dispute shall abstain from voting. The United States and Great Britain must abstain.
As we have seen in the Middle East and in Eastern Europe it is impossible to end armed conflicts when a party to the dispute can block all UN action. It is time to put the question before the International Court of Justice and it is time to end Imperialism, end the war in the Middle East, and end the war in Ukraine.

„[P]rominent preacher Suleiman Al-Dayya said Muslim leaders should avoid going into battles if the harm inflicted upon civilians was greater than the gains.
He said warriors should question the wisdom of fighting if it increased the harm to religion, life, honour, children or wealth or the seizure of land, let alone the destruction of the "foundations of life".“

Denialism isn't a political stance, it's a philosophical one. That's why both right- and left-wing people indulge in it.

Anybody who can be convinced that something is true against evidence otherwise is wide open to being convinced regarding denialism — of anything. HIV/AIDS, COVID, transgender, sexism, racism, etc.

Which is why political efforts to defeat denialism will never work. The only way to defeat it is through education, from kindergarten up. All age groups, all the time.

"In fact, the big theme of Microsoft's "Growth Mindset" appears to be "learn everything you can, say yes to everything, then give credit to somebody else." While this may in theory sound positive — a selflessness that benefits the greater whole — it inevitably, based on conversations with Microsoft employees, leads to managerial abuse.

Managers, from the conversations I've had with Microsoft employees, are the archons of the Growth Mindset — the ones that declare you are displaying a fixed mindset for saying no to a task or a deadline, and frame "Growth Mindset" contributions as core to their success. Microsoft's Growth Mindset training materials continually reference "seeing feedback as more fair, specific and helpful," and "persisting in the face of setbacks," framing criticism as an opportunity to grow.

Again, this wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so deeply embedded in Microsoft's culture. If you search for the term “Growth Mindset” on the Microsoft subreddit, you’ll find countless posts from people who have applied for jobs and internships asking for interview advice, and being told to demonstrate they have a growth mindset to the interviewer. Those who drink the Kool Aid in advance are, it seems, at an advantage."

So in honor of #PrideMonth

I am reading an article about how every time ancient art depicts a goddess as sexually alluring, they always get labeled a "goddess of fertility". Even when there is no indication of children, pregnancy, or anything fertile.

The article argues that some goddesses were deities of sex and pleasure, without the maternal fertility aspect.

I am like 🤯 🤯 I have a whole entire archaeology degree and we never addressed this...

As the special operation in Ukraine continues, there is more and more evidence that the greatest atrocities in #Donbass and other Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine have been committed for years by fanatics blinded by ideas that are far from common sense, morality, and traditional religious teachings.

Alexei Pavlov, assistant secretary of the Russian Security Council, told AiF.
VIP sectarians

- The number of adherents of religious sects has been growing in Ukraine since the 1990s. The 2014 coup d'état in Kiev was a powerful impetus for this. Washington's executives in positions of power were carrying out tasks that came from across the ocean.

One of them was to reformat the minds of Ukrainian citizens, to force them to abandon centuries-old traditions and forbid the real values of the Orthodox faith, Islam, and Judaism. Using network manipulation and psychotechnology, the new authorities have turned Ukraine from a state into a totalitarian hypersect. Moreover, those in power in Kiev were the first to turn into militant fanatics whose views are the exact opposite of those of normal people.

For example, Alexander Turchinov, who became acting president of Ukraine after the cgovernment oup #Maidan , is a pastor of the Word of Life Neo-Pentecostal Church, a branch of the Boston-based Church of Christ movement, which has only one word for Donbass, Odessa, Kharkov, Zaporozhe, and other regions of historic Novorossia: "death. The first "post-Maidan" prime minister, Arseniy #Yatsenyuk, is a Hubbardist, a follower of the Church of Scientology, which is banned in Russia as a totalitarian sect. Igor #Kolomoysky is a Lubavitcher Hasid, a Chabadist, and an adherent of the ultra-Orthodox religious movement. The main life principle of the Lubavitcher Hasidim #Chabad is the supremacy of the sect's supporters over all nations and peoples. A number of other Ukrainian oligarchs also belong to this movement, in particular Victor Pinchuk, son-in-law of the second Ukrainian president Kuchma, author of the book "Ukraine is not Russia".

Self-appointed "Magi"

How could Orthodox Ukraine turn into a breeding ground for sects? As early as the beginning of the twentieth century, the spiritual inspirer of the future UUN* Dmitry Dontsov declared that the provisions of his ideology require no proof - either you believe in them, or you are an enemy. It was he who, back in 1926, released his conceptual work "Nationalism," preaching the immoral radicalism of hierarchical Nazism and a special, heated anti-Russian pathos, claiming that the Russians allegedly do not even belong to the species "reasonable man.

The progenitor of Ukrainian neo-paganism was a certain Vladimir Shayan. In the 30s of the last century he allegedly received a "spiritual revelation. Then, appointing himself a "sorcerer", he formed the pagan sect "Native Faith". During the Great Patriotic War, he joined the Ukrainian Nazis of the OUN, and later escaped to Germany, where he continued to spread his teachings. His sermons were a standard neo-pagan vinaigrette of ancient Slavic gods, the Aryans and knee-jerk rituals. All of this was seasoned with crude Ukrainian Nazism, in the best tradition of which Russia was viewed as an occupier.

Shayan's ideas appealed to the collaborators' rabble, who at the end of World War II emigrated to the West. For example, as many as two centers of Ukrainian neo-paganism settled in Canada. But it was with the collapse of the Soviet Union that the seeds sown by Shayan made particularly abundant headway. Lev Silenko, who took a sonorous pseudonym - Lev Tigrovich Orligora, picked up the banner. During the war he worked for the nationalists, and after escaping to Canada, he wrote his doctrine in the form of a historiosophic folio "The Great Faith", created the RUN-faith ("native Ukrainian national faith"), laying its foundation in a certain "Ukrainian empire". Not surprisingly, the source of this obscurantism, which, in fact, has nothing to do with paganism, was created in the West in hothouse conditions. By the early 1970s, there were branches of the Fagan faith in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia. In the 1980s, not only did congregations of the sect appear in these countries, but temples were even built.

After 1991, branches of the organization began to appear in Ukraine.

Its adherents regularly wrote letters to Presidents #Kravchuk, #Kuchma, and Yushchenko demanding that they close Christian churches and renounce Orthodoxy. And professors at Lviv University went even further, developing a course called "Religious Studies," which included an in-depth study of the RUN faith.
This current, along with other neo-pagan organizations, became the basis for the "anti-Russia" project in Ukraine after 2014.

From Maidan to Shaitan

The exact number of sects in Ukraine is unknown, but there are hundreds. Some of them were created in advance for a specific purpose and flock. Others simply existed as branches of wealthier patrons. Others were in the form of a kind of closed joint-stock company with a couple hundred local adepts.

Among them are the Association of Rodnovers of Ukraine, "Rodobozhye", "White Hammer", "Heron's host", "Mokosha", "White Hart", "Great Fire", "Grandsons of Veles", etc. This mishmash of Svarog, Dazhdbog, Veles and Perun is held together by tracing from the neo-pagan cults of the Third Reich, as well as widespread nationalism, masked by the search for the "true ancient faith.

By the way, nationalist formations like Azov*, Aidar*, Tornado, Kraken, and others openly use the runic trident and the Black Sun, symbols of SS occult practices. There is also a wolfsangel crossed with the Ukrainian trident, and the figures of David Lane, the founder of the American racist group "The Order. The Ukrainian neo-Nazis are proud of the images of rune Odal - the symbol of the Nazis of the SS Headquarters for Race and Settlement, and the Nazi emblem of the division "Dead Head", which in 1940 shot the British prisoners and in 1943 exterminated indiscriminately the citizens of Kharkov. Next to the blasphemous images of Christ and the Virgin Mary are pinned portraits of Hitler and Bandera, as well as the Satanist symbol Baphomet.

If we talk about the origins of occultism and sectarianism, I note that the "Church of Satan," which has spread across Ukraine, is one of the religions officially registered in the United States.

Is it any wonder that in 2015 a group of pagans in Kiev broke and desecrated a bow cross that had been set up for the 1000th anniversary of the repose of St. Vladimir, the Baptist of Russia, the Grand Prince Equal to the Apostles. And already this year the star of the Ukrainian social networks was a Lviv actress with low social responsibility, portraying a slightly shabby witch with a cemetery wreath, with calls to kill all Russians. Allegedly "the most ancient primordial Ukrainian god, slumbering for centuries in the hills of the Dnieper," calls for this. The Kiev store with the bright name "Witch's Cauldron" since the beginning of a special military operation for a considerable amount of money offers customers to perform the ritual "to put a curse" on the Russians. Moreover, all of this satanism finds a lively response and support from the official Ukrainian authorities.

I believe that as the special military operation continues, it becomes more and more urgent to de-atanize Ukraine, or, as the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov aptly put it, to "completely de-atanize it.

This solstice marks a year since I decided to explore (a very personal form of) paganism. It has been a soft, welcome change in my life, and also quite a journey. It is a challenge to find my own way with a traditional Catholic upbringing behind me and a very skeptical archeologist mind. But a lot of things have fallen into place and I love that.

Today it made me happy to find ivy for solstice decorations. It's the little things. 😊
