There’s an interesting phenomenon, noticed going back centuries, that every celestial object beyond a certain size is spherical.

Why would that be? Essentially, it’s a corollary of mass — as matter (whether it’s gas, ice, dust, or rock, or some mixture of these), aggregates, its increasing mass creates a growing gravitational force, which pulls everything in towards the center.

This is why asteroids can be lumpy and oddly shaped, but give them a bit more mass — or collide them into each other, and at a certain size, they start becoming round.

The rough threshold size seems to be in the 500-600km ballpark, where above that size, an object becomes spherical.

Water of course, does this soonest - a single drop will form a sphere. Frozen water, or other liquids or gasses, will more readily form a sphere than will rock, although eventually even rock will collapse under its own gravitational pull, acting like a liquid, as it self-arranges into a sphere.

The precise point, size-wise, at which this occurs is dependent on density, but the consensus of experts is that approximately 1/10,000 of earth’s mass is the point beyond which any celestial body becomes spherical.

By spherical, is not necessarily meant a perfect sphere, as for example spinning produces centrifugal force, and a nearby orbiting body such as a moon can produce its own tidal gravitational force.

But in general we can say, based on the self-attraction of matter alone, that any object roughly approaching a small fraction of earth’s mass (1/10,000th) must be spherical.

Without doxing anyone, there is a military company (more than 50, less than 100) where all have been jabbed, but one. That lone holdout is the only one not currently tested positive for CV, and is therefore the only one not currently quarantined, so is being tasked with delivering food to quarantined comrades. The irony of this is quite a red pill.

While many Italian communists were looked down on by their more strident marxist comrades in other countries, there was one Italian who, while in prison for being a marxist, authored two volumes which in essence said, "Instead of attacking the West head-on, we need to identify and infiltrate Western institutions and culture which make her strong". Gramsci advocated a decades long assault on the traditional family unit -- feminisation of the family, homosexuality and disordered forms of sexuality, which over time led to pornography, contraception, divorce, and eventually abortion. His blueprint, in kernel form, suggested infiltrating the churches, schools and universities, media, art, and entertainment, and government institutions.

Waves of initially covert "agents of change" were sent Westward -- into the seminaries and universities, as a perverse "leaven" -- not to lift society but to degrade and weaken it. Initial agents lifted each other into rising positions of influence, identifying and recruiting allies (whether gullible or intelligent -- both could be used), and spread their ideas and recruits like mushroom spores, to any institutions they could infiltrate.

Some in the West caught on and attempted to warn and to put a stop to this -- the term McCarthyism was coined to direct ridicule, coming from Hollywood and the media, against anyone daring to call out communist sympathizers and supporters.

At present time, one could say those embracing Gramsci's strategies have succeeded, perhaps even beyond what levels they might have imagined -- the West teeters now at the precipice, the last bulwark against a worldwide onslaught of diabolical evil, seeking to enslave and control mankind.

In this great battle against the DS and their marxist battering ram, and even at this late point, it is helpful to know some of the origins of what our Western culture -- our families and institutions, have faced and are facing.

A bit of sauce:

Looking for answers here… if on the one hand many DS collaborators are cultural Jews (read atheist or much worse), how is it they would knowingly allow Israel to embrace the jab so heavily (at least 80% reportedly jabbed)? And is the average Israeli citizen really that gullible/trusting of their news sources, else how would they not realize the dangers posed?

Is it possible DS Jews have zero allegiance to Israel in general? Or are willing now to sacrifice the whole country in favor of what they deem a much greater prize?

I know we can speculate, but if anyone actually has better than that, with sauce to back it up, it would be a great help to post it.

Many places now advertise VPN services one can subscribe to; others tout freebie VPN, or even DIY approaches, which may include purchasing your own server, registering a domain name, trying to keep those from being publicly traceable back to you, the user, and so on.

It seems useful to just make a few comments about the limitations and appropriate uses of VPN.

First off, VPN is simply the addition of a layer of encryption, over part of the distance one's internet traffic must travel. The encryption typically starts either in software on one's device, or in some cases, on a hardware router or similar piece of networking gear which one uses to connect their devices to the internet. The encrypted layer than continues, out onto the internet, to the point where the VPN server one connects to, is running. From that point, out to the rest of the internet, all your traffic reverts to normal -- the VPN encryption ends at the VPN server.

The even more important point though, is that despite the encryption wrapper that exists from your VPN start point to endpoint, all your internet traffic inside the VPN layer remains exactly as it would be, regardless of whether VPN is in use or not.

This means, all your browser cookies, and other identifying bits of data shared between your browser and remote web servers, and between your email, and remote email servers for example, is intact, and still readable by the servers.

So for example, amazon, or youtube, or facebook, or any other site which has you login in any way (or even automatically provides fingerprinting without visual cues), continues working, with no changes whatsoever, inside, as well as outside a VPN connection. If amazon recognizes you without VPN, they will as easily recognize your same login, even when you are connecting from a device using a VPN connection. The only difference being that if they care to check the IP address you are connecting from, this will of course appear as the VPN server's IP address, rather than your normal ISP address.

If that is the case, then why bother using VPN at all? There are still some important benefits:

  1. From the point it starts (e.g. on your device), until VPN ends (the VPN server side), all your traffic travelling across that section of the internet of course has encryption, and that is much better than not having encryption at all -- especially, if you ever connect using public wifi -- even moreso, if you do so, and then do anything at all over that connection that you would not like to share with every stranger at the coffee shop, not that most would care, but any hacker, or even would-be hacker, can download a variety of tools which could make your activity an open book, and then exploit that information to perhaps steal your identity, or worse.

  2. VPN also does provide a layer of anonymity to your public 'face' or internet-side IP address, vs not using VPN. So without using VPN, it is quite easy for someone to trace back your IP address to your ISP's address assigned to you, along usually with rather specific geographical location clues that can indicate which city or town you are connecting from, or in certain cases (like using your own domain), tracking right to your doorstep.

  3. A lesser known benefit VPN might provide is to get past website blocks imposed by your ISP. Whether it be a telecommunications provider, or tax funded institution like a school or library, or just some wifi provider, it is becoming something now of a practice for some of them to take it upon themselves to block certain websites they think you shouldn't access. By adding VPN to the mix, you cut out any such blocks up to the point where your VPN server endpoint ends.

One big caveat with VPN though has to do with who is providing your VPN service, because whoever owns the VPN server point, has access to ALL your traffic, all nicely packaged into your own pipe. It is almost exactly as if they are being given access to your network connection at your entry point. Once you understand this, you can see that using a publicly offered "free" VPN service might not be at all what you're interested in -- or even, using a paid VPN service, but from a company that doesn't like your basedness, politics, religion, or vax/jab status.

As you can see, while there are certainly benefits to using VPN, it is not a complete source of anonymity internet-wide, but only protects as far as your VPN server's point on the internet, and no further. Additionally, the adage "if it's free, you are the product" holds as well for VPN providers -- if you care, take steps to select one that can be trusted with your internet traffic.

Many have heard mention of the Rosary (both here and elsewhere), and may wonder what it is... it is many hundreds of years old, and is not just for catholics.

It consists of the following scriptural prayers:

  1. The Apostoles Creed https://billygraham.org/answer/what-is-the-apostles-creed/

  2. The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) https://www.praywithme.com/the-lords-prayer.html

  3. Hail Mary (Luke 1:28, Luke 1:42, +petitioning Mary to pray for us, both now and while we are dying)

  4. Glory Be (Doxology/Praising of the Triune God) Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, in now and will be forever, amen.

  5. Fatima Prayer (optional) Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls into heaven, especially those in most need of your mercy.

The above is the "Body" of the Rosary.

The "Soul" of the Rosary is, during prayer, meditating upon a set of 5 scriptural stories. These are grouped into 4 sets, with focus on Jesus' infancy and childhood, his public ministry, his passion, and his glory. Scriptural Meditation is not easy, but consists of bringing yourself into the scene being meditated on. What is little realized, is Jesus, being God, is aware of every one visiting him in this way -- even at the time of the original event (!)

The rosary is a most powerful prayer against the devil and all enemies of God. Two historical examples (there are others) where the tide was turned by praying the rosary:

  1. The 1571 Battle of Lepanto - where Christian forces, greatly outnumbered by Muslim naval forces, turned to the spiritual weapon of the rosary, and a powerful wind and storm caused the Muslim ships to be defeated. This staved off Muslim expansion into Europe, keeping Europe Christian, and lasting (arguably), until recent times and the current loss of Christian faith there. https://www.catholiceducation.org/en/culture/history/how-the-1571-battle-of-lepanto-saved-europe.html

  2. Austria Saved from Communist Rule - in the early 1950's, Austria was occupied, by communist forces, and every indication was they would suffer the same fate as other iron curtain countries. A priest, recalling the Lepanto victory, roused up Austrians -- at least 10% of them, to pray the rosary for deliverance, and on May 13th, 1955, the Russians packed up and left Austria, without a shot being fired. https://choosing-him.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-rosary-frees-austria-from-communist.html

Cannot share sources but internal stats for Army jab refusal is at least 26%. Majority of refusals appear to be from middle tier ranks. Pressure is on to reach 100% compliance by Dec 1st. Many refusers being chaptered out. Issue is wreaking havoc to normal day to day operations. Pray for refusers to stand strong.

Wouldn't you think they of all people would know to avoid covax, and would be highly motivated, for self-preservation, self-defense, etc., to preserve their current and future population?

Looking for answers...

41

For anyone who can do anything about it, be advised that there are secret plans in the military to use physical force to forcibly administer the covid vax to unwilling soldiers.

No evidence can be provided, at this time, however you may note that I previously posted that military was going to make the vax mandatory, days before that was announced.

Just got word the US Army making covid vax mandatory in a few months (don't want to mention the date). Refusal to take it will result in dishonorable discharge, which can destroy any future career, etc. Any ideas, especially from those in the military? Asking for a friend.

Sauce added: https://americanmilitarynews.com/2021/07/army-preparing-for-mandatory-covid-19-vaccines-by-september-report-says

Dishonorable discharge is considered a felony, impacting employment, getting loans, 2a rights, etc.

44

Does anyone have first hand knowledge of whether any or all military branches may soon start mandating covid vaccines? Am hearing alarming scuttlebut, but no clear confirmation as yet.

At other "mostly peaceful protests", does anyone recall any antifa types being booked on weapons charges?

Watch what happens with those who stormed the Capitol today -- if they fade away without any arrests (especially weapons related), you can bet they are antifa. There is no way MAGA folk would be let off the hook.

Has anyone even seen mention of arrests being made at all today?
