“That model proved irresistible for #right-wing leaders in the U.S. who courted radical white #evangelicals and who recognized that their #ideology was unpopular enough that the only way to make it the law of the land was to impose it through the power of the state” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

On April 12, the day of Hungary’s parliamentary elections, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) posted on social media that it was closely watching the election and stood firmly behind Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Letters from an American

"Iran has spent nearly 40 years building a media and cultural-production apparatus that no other member of the Axis possesses. Over ten years in Iran, I shadowed the leaders and filmmakers who have shaped their media operation. The Revolutionary Guard’s media arm includes production studios, film collectives, cultural centers, university programs, and a vast infrastructure for training successive generations of media-makers that first came into existence in the late 1980s. In the years following the Arab Spring, the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei repeatedly instructed Iranian storytellers to treat media as its primary battlefield. “The media is more effective than missiles, planes and drones in forcing the enemy to retreat and to influence hearts and minds,” Khamenei said in 2024 at a meeting with a group of poets. “All war is a media war. Whichever actor has greater media influence will achieve their goals.” Over the past 15 years, Khamenei made sure sufficient money, talent, and institutional priority flowed toward digital content creation. Today the IRGC operates or funds at least 50 production houses. It runs Iran’s major streaming services. It has steadily monopolized the country’s film world. Its media conglomerates have subsidiaries and spinoffs that are deliberately difficult to trace — privatized, diversified, structured so that the fingerprints are hard to read from outside. Several production houses specialize in feature-length films and television serials. Others, the ones that matter most right now, are small, fast, and built for the internet, made by a new generation coming to power in Iran as American-Israeli bombs kill off the elder leaders — one that is younger, savvier, and less afraid of the U.S."

Iran’s Social Media Savants Were Ready For This

Over ten years in Iran, I shadowed the leaders and filmmakers who have shaped the Revolutionary Guard’s media operation. The new generation of content creators coming to power now are is younger, quicker, and less afraid of the U.S.

この単語はクリスト教徒で用いられる物です。 事実、差別用語に該当する物です。 クリスト教を信仰しない他人や他宗教を信仰する他人を差別、見下す言葉です。 要するに、クリスト教の中には他宗教、又は信仰心のない他人を認めない思想が存在する。 昔の話しと思う他人も居るで有ろうが、その認識は間違ってる。 クリストを信じ無い事を認めないと云う思想は今現在でも強く残ってます。 残念ですが、こう云う実態が存在している。 Αυτή η λέξη χρησιμοποιείται από τους χριστιανούς. Στην πραγματικότητα, είναι ένας όρος που

I think the Terminator #movie series is secretly based on the Christian concept of Trinity.

John Connor shares the initials with Jesus Christ: he is God the Son, Kyle Reese is God the Father, the Good Terminator is the Holy Ghost, Sarah Connor is the Virgin Mary, & the Evil Terminator is Satan/Anti-Christ.

In Terminator Salvation, John Connor was called a Prophet.
