Very interesting. I never realised there was only 30 of them in the country. But then I suppose you wouldn’t see one very often.

Thankfully that empty feeling didn’t last too long. It was very intense, but it subsided after a few minutes. The gaps between it returning became longer, and after a while stopped completely.

It’s really alarming. Like the UK there’s absolutely no political opposition from any party. Polls showing the majority want immigration to be reformed, but that’s dismissed by all parties as “far right”. The government brining in UK police from NI to protests, talking about using the Army as well. One village of 170 people bringing forces to about 280 immigrants (all young men). Just crazy stuff.

It’s getting crazy in the UK, and getting bad here in Ireland too. Gov is determined to impose massive migrant centres despite local opposition. Labelling of “far right” on anyone not toeing the line. Forcing a “hate speech” bill through to criminalise any opposition to it.

I doubt anyone ever became a billionaire from trading shekels for lambs. Interestingly, in John, the incident takes place at the start of his ministry long before he was executed.

Well as someone in recovery from alcohol and opiate addiction, I personally don’t blame anyone. I used to buy benzos from online registered pharmacies in Switzerland (it’s not under EU laws), and they didn’t just have a marketplace. They actually posted them out. It was eventually shut down. Not one of them went to jail. Ross sent out nothing, just ran an open marketplace, and he got a life sentence. So unjust.

The people in the temple were going about their lawful business. Plus claiming to be the rightful King of the Jews was insurrection. He kinda brought it on himself.

Not one single example of a person being harmed as a result of Silk Road was presented as evidence in his trial. And the bullshit “hit” it’s claimed he ordered was thrown out of court as baseless. He wasn’t found guilty of a single act that harmed anyone. He got 40 years for writing code, essentially.

The Darkening Age: The Destruction of the Classical World by Catherine Nixey is great on this era. Early Christian were essentially ISIS; they set out to obliterate everything that came before, plunged the world into the dark ages, and killed anyone who didn’t agree with them.

Growing up in Ireland in the 80s and 90s, even Playboy was banned. And we got on fine without it; young men and women basically taught each other in a hands-on fashion. Totally unnecessary cancer on society.
