StarBoySAR @StarboySAR Trump to Big Oil: "Please loot Venezuela for me" Big Oil to Trump: "Nah, We're good". A hilarious scene unfolded in the White House. The president, promising "total security," tried to rally oil execs for a Venezuela investment blitz. The response? A masterclass in capitalist realism Why the skepticism? For years, Washington weaponized sanctions to strangle Venezuela’s oil industry (you know, “humanitarian concern” my ass)—freezing assets, blacklisting companies, and making it impossible to invest without getting on Uncle Sam’s bad side. Now Trump’s like “Oops, never mind! Come spend billions!” ExxonMobil's CEO didn't mince words: Venezuela is "uninvestible." Not because of sanctions they once cheered for, but due to a lack of "legal and commercial frameworks." The same cowboys who drilled in Iraq's war zones now want "stability guarantees" from a country the US sanctioned into the ground. Because this time the regime-change project is too messy, even for …More
On Virginity, Continence, Matrimony, and the Use of Marriage A Treatise According to Holy Scripture and the Church Fathers Chapter I: On the Perfection of Virginity It is manifest, beloved, from the witness of Holy Scripture and the testimony of the holy Fathers, that virginity and perpetual continence are the most perfect and honorable state of the faithful; for in virginity the soul is undivided, the mind lifted from earthly cares, the flesh subdued, and the spirit prepared for the incorruptible life of the angels, while the eyes of the heart are opened to behold the vision of the Most High. Our Lord, in His ineffable wisdom, calls all who hear Him to this higher life, showing that the nuptial state of this present life is temporary, ordained for the weakness of the flesh, and permitted to those who cannot restrain concupiscence, yet never enjoining it as the measure of perfection. The faithful who enter matrimony do so out of infirmity, not from the desire of holiness, not as the …More
Laminin is a large extracellular matrix protein made of three different polypeptide chains (α, β, and γ). These chains assemble into a structure with: One long arm (formed mainly by the α chain) Three shorter arms (from the β and γ chains) Together, these four arms radiate from a central point, giving laminin its characteristic cruciform (cross-like) appearance, especially in electron microscopy images.
The molecule that holds every human being together is shaped like a cross.
Don Rodrigo, a 45-year-old Catholic priest, was stabbed in the neck in Modena, Italy. The stabbing of a 45-year-old Colombian priest in central Modena Tuesday was not an attempted robbery but a deliberate attack aimed at killing him, police in the Emilia-Romagna city said Wednesday.
L'odio istigato dai politici verso la chiesa produce questi crimini. Quest'odio è emerso anche per come hanno reagito i comunisti contro Suetta il quale ha eretto una campana che ogni sera darà un rintocco per ricordare a tutti che ogni giorno muoiono bambini innocenti nel grembo materno a causa dell'aborto.
Growing older isn’t easy. You have to learn to slow your steps, to say goodbye to who you once were, and to make peace with the person you’ve become. Aging is a test of courage: learning to accept the face you see in the mirror, to carry a changing body with dignity, to wear your years without shame, fear, or apology. You have to allow what needs to happen to happen. To let go of those whose time in your life has passed, and to keep close the ones who choose to stay. Yes, growing older is hard. It means learning not to expect too much from others. Learning to wake up and fall asleep alone—and not look away from the person who meets your eyes in the mirror each morning. Accepting that everything eventually ends, even life itself. Learning how to say goodbye to those who leave, and how to honor the memory of those who are already gone. It means letting yourself cry until there are no tears left, until the heart feels empty—so that new smiles, new hopes, and new desires can finally take …More
This is where, as the saint said, these last Apostles will come from: through this devotion and consecration, which I explain in this video; This consecration is coming soon; it is time to prepare ourselves with this book. youtube.com/watch?v=gXGh3FZ792o
This is the only photograph ever taken of the Brothers Grimm. You know their fairy tales—but you don't know what they really did. A daguerreotype studio in Germany. Two elderly men sit stiffly for the camera—new technology that requires them to remain motionless for several seconds. Jacob is 62, his younger brother Wilhelm is 61. They've spent their entire adult lives working side by side. This single photograph would become the only authenticated image of both brothers together. Most people know them for one thing: Grimm's Fairy Tales. Cinderella. Snow White. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Rumpelstiltskin. Stories that have been told to children for two centuries, adapted into countless films, embedded so deeply in our culture that we forget they came from somewhere—from someone. But here's what most people don't know: the Brothers Grimm didn't write fairy tales. They rescued them. THE MISSION THAT STARTED EVERYTHING Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm were born just one year …More
1950er Jahre berichtete der Spiegel sogar noch über solche Sachen. DER SPIEGEL war früher eigentlich ganz gut. Auch in den 70er, 80er, 90er Jahren war das deutsche Nachrichtenmagazin mit etlichen lesenswerten Artikeln und Enthüllungen gefüllt. Lange ist es her… Bevor er vor einigen Jahren Millionen von der Stiftung des feinen Mr. Gates erhielt. Aber das ist eine andere Geschichte… Seltsam? Aber so steht es geschrieben…
