VISEGRAD24: 🇿🇦 In South Africa, a father kills three carjackers in a shootout while protecting his children

@visegrad24 This is normal in third-world countries. My mother was kidnapped in Rio de Janeiro, my father made hostage in a bank in Sao Paulo. When I say Europeans have no idea what they are doing when accepting ANYONE by asylum, I know the types who are coming in.

In South Africa, a father kills three carjackers in a shootout while protecting his children

He and his two children were leaving their yard when a white vehicle blocked them. 

One attacker held a gun to the son’s head at the gate while another opened fire. 

The father returned fire from the car, killing one on the spot. The other two fled but later died of their wounds. 

JOHN GUANDOLO: the Marxist movement or counterstate, the Islamic movement or counterstate, they operate primarily in the information realm, in the non-violent realm right now.

Islam has always been the problem. #ShariaKills #IslamKills @jihadwatch https://t.co/4DGZ8lAzRs

00:08.  This war in and of itself, the Marxist movement or counterstate, the Islamic movement or counterstate, they operate primarily in the information realm, in the non-violent realm right now.  And the violence that happens supports the non-violent actions, whether it's Al Qaeda or the Islamic State or Boko Haram or Abu Sayyaf, whoever, Hezbollah, Hamas, Hezbollah being a part of the Iranian government by the way; Hamas an inherent part of the Muslim Brotherhood, terrorist organizations.  They operate in the information realm, hostile propaganda operations.  Here in the United States, primarily suit-wearing jihadis.  That's who they are.  That's what they do.  So from the local level all the way up to the National level and all the way back down, it's propaganda.  I think James did a great job yesterday explaining to you when he's interviewing Khalid Shake Muhammad and many other high level jihadis.  Why did they say they do what they do?  They told him the same thing they tell everyone in this room every time they do it.  We are Muslims waging Jihad in the cause of Allah to establish and Islamic State under Sharia, which is exactly what 100% of all published Islamic law mandates.  It's what school books in Islamic schools in the United States all say because it's a capital crime under Sharia for a Muslim to teach another Muslim anything that's not true about Islam.  100% of Islamic Doctrine says Islam is a complete way of life, social, cultural, military, and political, all governed by Sharia Islamic law.  And as I just said, 100% of sharia obliges Jihad which is only defined as warfare against non-muslims in Islamic law to establish an Islamic State.

C. S. LEWIS: What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of Human Excellence--moral, cultural, social, or intellectual.

What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of Human Excellence--moral, cultural, social, or intellectual.  And is it not pretty to notice how Democracy (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods?  You remember how one of the Greek dictators (they called them 'tyrants' then) sent an Envoy to another dictator to ask his advice about the principles of government.  The second dictator led the envoy into a field of corn and there he snicked off with his Cane the top of every stock that rose an inch or so above the general level.  The moral was plain.  Allow no preeminence among your subjects.  Let no man live who is wiser, or better, or more famous, or even handsomer than the mass.  Cut them all down to a level; all slaves, all ciphers, all nobodies.  All equals.  Thus, tyrants could practice, in a sense, 'democracy'.  But now 'democracy' can do the same work without any other tyranny than her own.  No one need now go through the field with a cane.  The little stalks will now of themselves bite the tops off the big ones.  The big ones are beginning to bite off their own in their desire to Be Like Stalks.

The Screwtape Letters, 1942, C.S. Lewis; also includes Screwtape Proposes a Toast, C.S. Lewis, 1959.  

The Screwtape Letters, 1942: A series of fictional letters from a senior demon, Screwtape, to his nephew Wormwood, advising him on tempting a human being away from Christianity.

Screwtape Proposes a Toast, 1959: A separate satirical essay in which Screwtape addresses newly graduated tempters at a dinner. Lewis uses the speech to criticize modern education, democratic culture, and the manipulation of public opinion.

Why the distinction matters: Screwtape Proposes a Toast is often published alongside The Screwtape Letters in combined editions, which can make it appear to be another chapter. It was originally published separately in 1959.

SAMA HOOLE: Seed oils were sold as paint for a century before they were sold as food, and they do in you what they do on a window frame. Linseed oil hardens on a fence post in a few days. Chemists call it a drying oil.

Seed oils were sold as paint for a century before they were sold as food, and they do in you what they do on a window frame. Linseed oil hardens on a fence post in a few days. Chemists call it a drying oil. Soybean oil hardens too. So does sunflower, so does safflower. They were sold to the paint trade before they were sold to the kitchen. Linoleum was invented in 1860 and it is named after linseed oil, because that is what it is, oxidised and pressed into a floor. The oil does not dry by evaporating. It dries by oxygen attacking the double bonds in its fats and welding them into a hard skin. The oil in your chip pan and the oil in your body carry the same double bonds, so the same attack runs there, with aldehydes thrown off as it goes. A painter calls that curing. A biochemist calls it lipid peroxidation. A doctor calls it inflammation and prescribes something for it. Once the oil is in your fat, it stays about two years, drying from the inside, every time it meets oxygen or sunlight. Butter never dried a fence post. Tallow never varnished a boat. Saturated fat has no double bond for oxygen to attack, which is why it sits in the pan for a week and why it sat in your great-grandmother's cells for a lifetime. A fat that sets hard in the air was never a candidate for the inside of an artery. The flooring industry understood the chemistry in 1860. The heart charity recommended it in April.

MASSIMO: A study from the University of Southern California has revealed that fasting for 72 hours can trigger a complete regeneration of the immune system.

Research shows a 72-hour fast can completely rebuild your immune system. A study from the University of Southern California has revealed that fasting for 72 hours can trigger a complete regeneration of the immune system. Researchers found that prolonged fasting causes the body to deplete its glucose and fat reserves, forcing it into a detoxifying state that eliminates damaged cells and toxins. When normal eating resumes, stem cells are activated, leading to the production of fresh, healthy white blood cells. This immune reboot effect was observed in both mice and humans, particularly in chemotherapy patients who showed improved immune health after fasting cycles. Lead researcher Dr. Valter Longo explains that during fasting, a gene called PKA is suppressed—this gene must be turned off for stem cells to enter regenerative mode. As a result, the immune system essentially clears out older, weaker components and rebuilds itself anew. While more research is needed to explore the full range of benefits across organs, the study suggests that fasting could be a powerful, drug-free strategy for enhancing immunity, especially for those with weakened systems due to aging or cancer treatment.
