@Pai_estovir Does that include the millions of migrants that were trafficked by the catholic NGO’s, paid by the Biden&Pelosi’s of the world?

Quando os islâmicos estavam dominando o mundo e perseguindo os cristãos, não foram os protestantes que defenderam o cristianismo, que guardaram as relíquias, as tradições, e heranças da fé; foram os católicos, cruzados, templários, monges e padres.

@Pai_estovir If the Catholic cult hadn’t destroyed/sacked/raped Constantinople during their crusade, the islamists may never have made it into Europe

@brivael No need to get on a high horse; Carl Marks family was mostly Dutch Henk Van Sneevliet was cofounder of the CCP. Harry Van Arsdale wanted a 15 hour work week. Adrianus Van Utrecht orchestrated the Spanish Inquisition.

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme). Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident. Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité. Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison. Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme. Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable. Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion. C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes. Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre. Alors pardon. Et au travail.

@CptAllenHistory I believe The Netherlands at the time accepted Jewish refugees?

On This Day — May 17, 1939: Britain Appeased the Arabs & Condemned Europe’s Jews to the Holocaust As Jews across Europe were being beaten, robbed & deported after Kristallnacht, Britain joined the side of their persecutors by issuing the infamous White Paper of 1939 — one of the most disgraceful acts of appeasement and betrayal in modern history. First they appeased Hitler at Munich. Then they appeased the Mufti of Jerusalem and Arab violence. At the worst possible moment, Britain illegally slammed the last escape door shut on Europe’s Jews. The White Paper drastically restricted Jewish immigration to a trickle and made any further entry subject to Arab consent — which the Arabs had already made clear would be zero. Jewish land purchases were brutally restricted. This was not policy. This was betrayal. Britain had been granted the Mandate for Palestine by the League of Nations via unanimous international treaty specifically to establish a Jewish national home and encourage close Jewish settlement. The League’s own Mandates Commission reviewed the White Paper and declared it illegal — a clear violation of the Mandate. Britain simply ignored the League and enforced it anyway. The Jews begged for their lives. Britain gave them a death sentence. Hundreds of refugee ships were turned away. British forces fired on many. The Struma — carrying 769 Jews, including 70 children — was refused entry and later sunk. One of many such tragedies. Britain’s policy trapped Jews in Europe with nowhere to run as the Holocaust began. By closing the gates while the Nazis prepared the gas chambers, Britain became complicit in the scale of the systematic, industrialized genocide. At least hundreds of thousands of Jews who could have reached safety in the Land of Israel were instead exterminated. The British didn’t just fail the Jews. They actively helped ensure that when the Nazis came for them, there was no place left in the world to which they could escape. That is why a strong, sovereign Israel is not optional — it is an existential necessity. Never again will Jews depend on the mercy of empires that appease our enemies and abandon us to slaughter. Never again will we trust “guarantees” from powers that fold, betray, or look away when it matters most.

@ALateralis Pope Pius XII had his Franciscan Munks run death camps in Croatia killing over ½ million Orthodox Christians.

Pius Xii did no such thing. Vatican saw the Nazis as pagan worship. In the 1933 elections Catholics voted for the Center Party. The Nazis had their highest vote in the Protestant regions. That's a historical fact.

@ALateralis Pope Pius XII blessed the German troops That is from people still alive today.

@thedarshakrana Some Christian Saints have passed away with delayed decomposition.

Tibetan monks sit upright in meditation for days even after clinical death. And their dead bodies refuse to decay which breaks every rule of medicine. How? Thukdam It completely breaks the medical model of death. Tibetan monks enter this meditative state during the dying process. Their bodies remain fresh, upright, warm to the touch. No rigor mortis. No decomposition. No putrid smell. For up to 17 days after every cardiac monitor, EEG, and respiratory sensor confirms they are clinically dead. Western medicine defines death as the irreversible cessation of brain and cardiovascular function. The moment electrical activity in the brain stops, consciousness is gone. The body begins immediate decay. Cells start breaking down within minutes. The temperature drops. Muscles stiffen. Thukdam monks violate every part of that sequence. Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin has been documenting these cases for over a decade. Brain scans of Thukdam practitioners show organized neural activity continuing long after clinical death. Organized. Coordinated. Purposeful electrical patterns that correlate with deep meditative states. The implications shatter how we understand the relationship between mind and brain. If consciousness can persist and even direct bodily processes after clinical death, the brain cannot be the generator of consciousness. At minimum, consciousness operates through biological systems in ways that transcend current neurological models. At maximum, consciousness exists independently of the brain and uses the nervous system as an interface, a control panel, rather than its source. This connects to something neuroscientists have been quietly discovering for years: the hard problem of consciousness remains completely unsolved. We can map every neuron, track every chemical signal, stimulate every brain region with electromagnetic pulses. We still cannot explain how subjective experience arises from neural activity. Why there is an inner observer behind your eyes reading these words. Why you experience the color red as "redness" rather than just processing wavelengths of light. Thukdam suggests the hard problem is unsolvable because we have the relationship backwards. Instead of brain creating consciousness, consciousness might be using brain as a temporary biological vehicle. Death removes the vehicle but the consciousness that was operating it continues in a transition state. The monks who achieve Thukdam spend decades training their awareness through specific meditative practices. Shamatha, vipassana, and particularly the Tibetan practice of death meditation where practitioners repeatedly simulate the dying process to maintain conscious control as biological functions shut down. They are training to remain aware during the transition most humans experience as unconscious dissolution. What makes this especially disturbing for materialist neuroscience is that Thukdam practitioners can be predicted. Teachers who spend 40+ years in intensive meditation often enter this state. Novices almost never do. This suggests conscious control over the death process is a learnable skill that develops with practice. The same way you can train your body to run marathons or perform complex physical skills, you can apparently train your consciousness to maintain coherence after biological death. The preservation of the physical body during Thukdam implies consciousness was actively maintaining cellular integrity before death and continues to influence biological processes afterward. Decay is an active process involving bacterial growth, chemical breakdown, and loss of cellular organization. Something is preventing that cascade from beginning. Something operating outside normal biological control systems. Traditional Tibetan Buddhism describes Thukdam as the consciousness slowly withdrawing from the body in stages rather than departing instantly at clinical death. The practitioner remains in meditation within the corpse, gradually releasing attachment to the physical form. This matches what researchers observe: bodies that look alive but show no vital signs, maintained in meditative postures for days. Modern medicine treats death as a binary switch. Alive, then dead. Thukdam reveals death as a gradual process that consciousness can navigate deliberately. This opens therapeutic possibilities for end of life care that Western palliative medicine never considers. If consciousness persists during clinical death, dying patients might benefit from meditative guidance rather than just pain management. The deeper implications reach into fundamental questions about the nature of reality itself. If individual consciousness can persist independently of biological function, the materialist assumption that mind emerges from brain becomes untenable. Something non physical is operating through physical systems and can continue operating after those systems shut down. Thukdam forces us to consider that consciousness might be the fundamental substrate of reality, not an emergent property of complex matter arrangements. That every living being is consciousness temporarily expressing through biological form. That death is return to original nature rather than extinction of individual existence. Most people encounter this possibility as religious speculation or metaphysical wishful thinking. Thukdam provides measurable, documented evidence that challenges every assumption about consciousness, death, and the relationship between mind and matter. The monks sitting in meditation after clinical death are quietly conducting the most important consciousness research on Earth.

@thedarshakrana The whole Biden thing makes more sense now

@robbertleusink Dutch were told that these bombers were on their way to England

Rotterdam was destroyed in 15 minutes On May 14, 1940, the Luftwaffe bombed the city while a ceasefire was already being negotiated The Dutch commander sent up flares to signal surrender Half the formation turned back The other half dropped their bombs anyway 900 people died The historic city centre was gone Rotterdam rebuilt itself as a modernist city because there was nothing left to restore What you see there today is what 15 minutes did to 8 centuries

@Paulssen5 @robbertleusink The Netherlands was neutral

@robbertleusink It was a tragedy, but if the Netherlands had been neutral, no bombing would have happened.

@janzaaijer @robbertleusink Otherwise they would have bombed the south as well

@robbertleusink The flares were launched by the Germans on the south bank of the Maas, to warn off their own bomber aircraft, with partial effect as described.

@robbertleusink Didn’t they start building dikes ?

St. Willibrord left Northumbria in 690 and walked into what is now the Netherlands with eleven monks and no plan The Franks gave him land in Echternach in 698 He built the first Anglo-Saxon monastery on the European continent He is still buried in the crypt beneath the basilica The abbey was dissolved by the French Republic in 1797, bombed by the Allies in 1944, and rebuilt St. Willibrord is the patron saint of the Netherlands and Luxembourg Pray for us 🙏

@robbertleusink Nothing wrong with Baptism

Bob Marley died on May 11, 1981 He was 36 He had been raised Baptist, became the most famous Rastafarian in the world, and in the final months of his life converted to Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity He was baptised Berhane Selassie 'Light of the Trinity' He was buried with his guitar, a football, and a Bible opened to Psalm 23 The man who invented reggae died receiving last rites in a Christian church

@robbertleusink That is true reformation IMO

@realMaalouf Because we made the mistake to pay them for our oil that is under the sand we gave them in 1916.

Why does no one ever refer to Muslims as colonizers, oppressors, genociders, slave traders, or imperialists?

@robbertleusink This would be after the Vatican stripped the people of the Low Countries bare. The reformation brought Christianity back to it’s roots, separating church and state. Even pope Adrianus van Utrecht was appalled by the corruption and degeneracy he found in Rome.

All the Church ceilingsgs in the Low Countries once looked like this The Reformation stripped them bare

@robbertleusink Were it not for the greed and jealousy of the Franks and Venitians, pillaging and raping, attacking their hosts once let in, during the crusades, The Orthodox Christian Empire may still have existed. And would have continued to protect Europe from the followers of mohammed.

On May 11, 330, Constantine renamed Byzantium as Constantinople and declared it the new capital of the Roman Empire He had spent six years rebuilding the city from its foundations He dedicated it to the Virgin Mary The city was conceived as a Christian capital from its first stone It held for 1,123 years When it finally fell in 1453, the last Byzantine Emperor died fighting on the walls in full armour His body was never found

@robbertleusink Pope Pius Xii told German Katholics to vote for Hitler

Every Protestant (PKN) minister in the Netherlands signs a document from 1934 to resist the Nazi takeover Most people have never heard of it Karl Barth wrote the Barmen Declaration when German Protestants were aligning themselves with the Nazi regime It said one thing: Jesus Christ alone is Lord; The state has no authority over the church Most of the German Protestants ignored it Barth was expelled from Germany But his declaration became a founding document of modern Dutch Protestantism

@ProudofusUK England only became relevant (British) after the being invaded by the Dutch. (glorious revolution as you call it)

🇬🇧 Most British schoolchildren are taught about Magna Carta. They are taught it was sealed in twelve fifteen at Runnymede. They are taught it is the foundation of English liberty. They are taught it is one of the most important documents in human history. They are not taught what came next. They are not taught about the eighty years between twelve fifteen and twelve ninety-five when ordinary Englishmen forced three successive kings to write down, for the first time in any kingdom in medieval Europe, what English law was, what English liberty was, and how an English king must govern. They are not taught about the Charter of the Forest, which restored the right to graze, gather firewood, and live on common land, and which remained in force for seven hundred and fifty-four years. They are not taught about the Provisions of Oxford in twelve fifty-eight, often called England's first written constitution, which placed the king under a council of fifteen and required Parliament to meet three times a year. They are not taught about the Provisions of Westminster in twelve fifty-nine, which subjected the barons themselves to the same law they had forced upon the king. They are not taught about Simon de Montfort, an earl born in France who died for England, who summoned the first Parliament in English history to include ordinary commoners alongside the great lords. They are not taught about the Statute of Marlborough in twelve sixty-seven, which is the oldest piece of statute law in the United Kingdom still in force today. ⚖️ Seven hundred and fifty-nine years old. If you've ever taken a debt to court in England, you've used it. 🏠 If you've ever rented a home, you've been protected by it. 👑 If a creditor can't lawfully drag your possessions into the street to settle what you owe, that's because of a law signed seven hundred and fifty-nine years ago. They are not taught about the Model Parliament of twelve ninety-five, summoned by Edward the First, which became the shape of every English Parliament since. Eighty years. Three successive kings. The first written constitution in any kingdom in medieval Europe. It was not given to them. It was not handed down from God or king or Pope. ✍️ It was written. By Englishmen. For England. 🇬🇧 The British write their own history. They always have. This one needed more than a thread. The full story is in our video, watch it below 👇 Help us remember who we are. Help us remember every British achievement. 👇🙏 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

@guillermofesser @EchoesofWarYT Most Spaniards are insulted if you call them latino.

It’s a fascinating piece of History that I have the pleasure to have been introducing in the Elementary and Middle Schools of America since 2016. This is the hidden truth: Without Latinos there would have been No Independice. How would the current narrative about Latinos change if people knew it!

245 years ago today, a 35-year-old Spanish nobleman fired a single artillery shell that redrew the map of North America, broke British power in the Gulf of Mexico, and arguably saved the American Revolution. His name was Bernardo de Gálvez. He's not in your textbook. He should be. When Spain entered the war against Britain in June 1779, the American cause was bleeding out. Washington's army was unpaid and shrinking. The Continental dollar was worth pennies. The British had taken Savannah and were preparing to take Charleston. France was helping, but France alone couldn't bankrupt the British Empire. Spain could. And in New Orleans sat the man who would prove it. Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid was 33 years old, the governor of Spanish Louisiana, a battle-scarred career officer who had been wounded fighting Apaches in northern Mexico and Algerians in North Africa. The day he learned Spain had declared war, he didn't wait for orders from Madrid. He raised an army of Spanish regulars, Louisiana Creoles, free Black militia from New Orleans, Acadian refugees, German settlers, and Choctaw scouts, and he went on the attack. In three months he took Manchac, Baton Rouge, and Natchez. The next year he took Mobile. The British presence on the Gulf shrank to one last fortress. Pensacola, the capital of British West Florida, defended by Major General John Campbell with 1,500 redcoats, the 3rd Waldeck Regiment of German mercenaries, loyalist battalions from Maryland and Pennsylvania, and a powerful alliance of Creek and Choctaw warriors led by the brilliant mixed-race chief Alexander McGillivray. Gálvez arrived off Pensacola in March 1781 with 7,000 men and a fleet. The Spanish naval commander, Admiral Calbo de Irazábal, refused to enter Pensacola Bay. The entrance was narrow, raked by British guns at Fort Barrancas Coloradas, and treacherous with sandbars. So Gálvez did something insane. He boarded his own little brig, the Galveztown, hoisted his personal pennant, and sailed her into the bay alone, in full view of the British batteries, daring the Royal Navy to sink him. The British fired and missed. The Spanish fleet, shamed, followed him in. For this he was awarded the right to put the words "Yo Solo," meaning "I alone," on his coat of arms by the King of Spain. The siege ground on for two months. Gálvez was shot in the abdomen and the finger directing artillery and refused to leave the field. The British defenses at the Queen's Redoubt, also called the Crescent, held against everything thrown at them. And then, on the morning of May 8, 1781, a Spanish howitzer crew lofted a shell over the parapet. It dropped, by pure luck or perfect skill, directly into the open powder magazine. The explosion killed roughly 100 defenders in a single instant. Waldeck grenadiers, British regulars, loyalists, all gone. The blast tore the redoubt's wall open like paper. Spanish grenadiers and Louisiana militia poured through the breach within minutes and turned the captured British guns on the inner works. Campbell knew it was over. The next morning, May 9, white flags went up. By May 10 the entire province of West Florida belonged to Spain. Over 1,100 British troops marched out as prisoners of war. The strategic consequences were catastrophic for Britain. The Gulf Coast was lost. The Mississippi was a Spanish river from source to sea. Britain could no longer reinforce its southern armies by sea from the Caribbean, and the Royal Navy's Caribbean squadron had to be redeployed. Five months later, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, in a siege funded in part by 500,000 silver pesos that Gálvez and the people of Havana raised in a matter of days to pay French Admiral de Grasse's fleet to come north. Without that money, no French fleet. Without the French fleet, no Yorktown. Without Yorktown, no independence on those terms. Gálvez was made Count of Gálvez and Viscount of Galveztown. The bay he charted in Texas still bears his name, Galveston. His portrait hangs in the United States Capitol by act of Congress. In 2014, he was made an honorary citizen of the United States, an honor given to only eight people in American history, including Lafayette, Churchill, and Mother Teresa. He died of yellow fever in Mexico City at 40 years old, three years after the war ended. Most Americans have never heard his name.
