Tomorrow night's vice presidential debate should be a tale of two “little red books.” Democratic candidate Tim Walz has collected and disseminated the one by Chinese Communist Party founder, Mao Tse-tung. His Republican opponent, J.D. Vance would be well-advised to draw on a new one being published tomorrow by the great Gordon G. Chang. Chang's book is entitled “Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America.” That actually was Mao's plan – one now weaponized against us to the point where my friend, Gordon, arguably our country's preeminent authority on the CCP, persuasively warns we face imminent shooting war at its hands. If that were not sufficient reason for American voters to hear much more about this topic, the two veep candidates have profoundly differing life experiences with Communist China – Walz's long, personal and favorable; Vance's scarred, strategic and hostile. Let the debate begin! This is Frank Gaffney.                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Rozpoczęły się 33. Letnie Igrzyska Olimpijskie w Paryżu. To jedna z największych imprez sportowych w historii, która od organizatorów wymagała wielu lat przygotowań oraz gigantycznych wydatków kosztów. Francja najpewniej na igrzyskach nie zarobi, ale w grę wchodzi zysk innego rodzaju - wizerunek. Sport był i jest wykorzystywany jest jako skuteczne narzędzie w międzynarodowej polityce, o czym wiedział Adolf Hitler, Mao Tse-tung, jak i Richard Nixon. Duże imprezy sportowe mogą być bowiem znakomitą okazją do zaprezentowania się światu, poszukiwania sojuszników oraz zamanifestowania swoich poglądów. Tegoroczne igrzyska we Francji nie są wyjątkiem. Ten odcinek, podobnie jak większość innych odcinków Brzmienia Świata, zawiera dodatkową treść, która jest niespodzianką dla słuchaczy. Jeśli wolisz ją pominąć, przejdź do rozmowy głównej.

Why do so many churches and Christians make such a big deal of the Bible? Isn't it just an out-dated, irrelevant piece of ancient literature? Shouldn't we keep it on the shelf and use more modern books to teach us how to live? These are the questions we'll explore today.--The PursueGOD Truth podcast is the “easy button” for making disciples – whether you're looking for resources to lead a family devotional, a small group at church, or a one-on-one mentoring relationship.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --before we examine the Bible, let's start with some fun trivia about all those other books on the shelf…10 notable best-selling books of all time:The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss - 10.5 millionThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain - 20 millionThe Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - 29 millionTo Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - 40 millionThe Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle - 43 millionPurpose Driven Life by Rick Warren - 50 millionThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis - over 85 millionHarry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling - 120 millionA Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens - Over 200 million Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes - Over 500 millionTop three best-selling books of all time:The Quran - Estimated 800 million copies sold and distributed.Quotations from the Works of Mao Tse-tung - Over 900 million copies sold.The Bible - Estimated 5 billion copies sold and distributed.So, back to the question we'll unbox today:Q. Is the Bible Just Another Book?Think about how all of those other books were written: All of those other books were the product of one or more clever mindsThey all followed a similar process:Come up with the conceptCreate a storyline, characters, etc.Do some research if needed for accuracy Write and re-writeMy favorite book on the topic: “On Writing Well” by William Zinsser“Simplify, simplify.”“There's no minimum length for a sentence that's acceptable in the eyes of God.”“Writers must constantly ask: what am I trying to say? Surprisingly often they don't know.”"Ultimately the product any writer has to sell is not the subject being written about, but who he or she is."But this is what separates the Bible from every other book: it is not the product of one person's ideas or creativity. Nobody had to dream up the storyline or characters, and no one had to read “On Writing Well” to turn out the best chapters and verses. The Bible, Christians believe, is unique because it alone was inspired by God. Here's how Paul explained it to Timothy:2 Timothy 3:16 (NLT) All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.See Where Did We Get...

Cześć! W tym odcinku serii Powojnie nawiązuję do historii opisanej w mojej najnowszej książce "Jak Moskwa przegrała zimną wojnę", a mianowicie do spotkania dwóch dyktatorów w 1949 roku. Do radzieckiej stolicy przyjechał wtedy nowy przywódca Państwa Środka przewodniczący Mao Tse-tung. Stalin przyjął go na Kremlu, aby przedyskutować przyszłe relacje dwóch ogromnych krajów zarządzanych przez komunistów. To nie była przyjemna rozmowa. Stalin traktował chińskiego przywódcę z wyższością. Był wobec niego wyniosły. Nie chciał ustalać szczegółów. Zwodził swojego chińskiego gościa. Mao został zakwaterowany w podmoskiewskiej daczy z dala od Kremla i zjeżdżających do miasta z powodu urodzin generalissimusa komunistycznych gości. Zniewagę jakiej doświadczył w tych dniach Mao, chiński dyktator zapamięta do końca życia co przełoży się na przyszłe relacje komunistycznych krajów.

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Bob Jones returns to the Cognitive Crucible to discuss strategic influence and how the United States is at a crossroads. Additionally, we revisit Bob's previous Cognitive Crucible appearance and discuss the importance of governance and taking other people's perspectives. Research Question: Bob Jones suggests as interested student examine:  Is political conflict internal to a single system inherently different than political conflict between two or more systems; and if so, how, why and so what? How is the modern Chinese effort to expand their sovereignty to match their expanded power distinct from, or similar to, the US efforts to do the same in the 1890 to 1914 timeframe? If one expands the definition of unconventional warfare (UW) to the leveraging of foreign political grievances to advance or secure one's interests, do al Qaeda and ISIS conduct UW? Does the presence of absence of violence lend strategic insight to the nature of a political competition/conflict? If one accepts that AQ and ISIS wage UW campaigns, how does one best disrupt, defeat, or render irrelevant their efforts? Is counterinsurgency best thought of as a purely domestic, civilian-led activity; where, as in all domestic emergencies, the military is always in support, last in and first out? It has been offered that internal, revolutionary insurgency differs from democracy only in legality; and that causation is rooted in how some distinct demographic feels about the governance affecting their lives.  How does this perspective affect counterinsurgency operations?

Mr. Robert Jones is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces Colonel; a former Deputy District Attorney; and the Senior Strategist at U.S. Special Operations Command.  Currently serving as a member of the SOCOM J5 Donovan Group, Mr. Jones is responsible for leading innovative thinking on the strategic environment and understanding how it impacts factors critical to national security, such as competition, the character of conflict, deterrence and societal stability. Mr. Jones's principle focus is on the fundamental human aspects of political conflict. In a rapidly evolving strategic environment, good strategy is rooted in understanding what remains constant and why; while good tactics demands a realistic appreciation for what is different or changed. Successful campaigning demands a fusion of the two. He enjoys “wire brushing” concepts by routinely standing in front of tough audiences.  None of these is tougher than those he faces in his role as a fixture in the Joint Special Operations University's Enlisted Academy, applying a commonsense perspective to bring our most experienced Special Operators strategic insights they can actually use. This is also the third consecutive year that Mr. Jones has addressed the Air War College class during the Operational Design phase of their curriculum, sharing practical insights gleaned from his experiences. He has been a featured speaker at Universities as storied as Oxford, St Andrews, Stanford and Harvard; and has led professional development events with operational units across the SOCOM enterprise.

In this edition of The Remnant Underground, Michael puts the fourth indictment of Donald Trump into perspective, noting that this has little to do with Trump and everything to do with the Globalists' plot to cancel America. To that end, this episode also includes an impassioned plea from Michael Matt to stand and defend the family. As the entire Globalist experiment is all about cancelling marriage and the family, nothing is more important than that.    Speaking of diabolical Globalist insanity, the Little Ferret is creating a culture of death up in Canada not seen on the world stage since the days of Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung. Hope is so dead in Canada, in fact, a substantial minority of Canadians now think the homeless and the poor should get help from the government in terminating their lives. Hell just froze over. . . Michael Matt ACTUALLY agrees with Jeffrey Sachs, who absolutely obliterates the Neocon/Globalist war in Ukraine which, says Sachs, is now wiping out hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in the name of NATO expansionism. Good news? Raymond Arroyo and Mother Angelica take World Youth Day to the mat – the latter in 1993, the former in 2023! More good news? The Latin Mass movement is teeming with new life – no, literally. Michael shares a clip he took of his own oratory at Sunday morning Mass. The clip went viral on Twitter, and Michael suggests this is why the Globalists feel so threatened by Latin Mass Catholics. #SPONSORED: Use code “REMNANT TV” at CharityMobile.com for a free phone with free activation and shipping.

AUTO-GENERATED TRANSCRIPT:[ALLEN WEST] Hey greetings everyone. Lieutenant Colonel Allen West here and welcome to the steadfast and loyal show[Music][ALLEN WEST] Hey greetings everyone. Welcome back to the steadfast and loyal podcast You know, I took a little time off to have a little family vacation headed down the port of Aransas, Texas Lovely place. It's gonna grow it's gonna develop on that island Mustang Island, especially down toward the southern end and It was just so much fun to watch my little Jackson Bernard my grandson take his first steps on a beach put his feet into the Gulf of Mexico They hear him turn around and look at me and point and say ocean. I Mean, it's one of those moments that you capture and it kind of brings tears to your eyes Because that's really what my life is all about How do I make sure that? subsequent generations Have better than what I had Because at the age of two, I never got the chance to put my feet into the ocean But I made sure that my daughters had that chance and of course now my grandson and My future grandson who will be coming along in December as well. Yes oldest daughter Aubrey will be delivering another grandson to the West family Spoiler alert his name is Levi Allen and I can't wait until the moment I take Levi Allen on his family vacation and watch him walk out until the surface well. But even though I was on family vacation, I still you know had to keep my ear to what was going on in my country because You always have to be ready to stand up and be you know on that pointy edge of the spear In case you get asked To be aware of what's going on So there were a couple of things that happened while I was on family vacation One of them happened is that we were driving down from Garland, Texas to Port Aransas all of a sudden, you know Little Mr. Hunter Biden shows up at the court in Delaware and this was supposed to be you know, slap happy Yep, it's all done. Nice little, you know misdemeanor now you will slap on a fist. Oops something went really wrong. Now I'm trying to understand this. He's gonna go in and he's gonna plead guilty. He's gonna say that. Yeah, I did this stuff I didn't pay my taxes. I lied on a 4473 background check form but because of the fact that you know It's gonna be not even a real sentence. It's just a you know, a little misdemeanor slap on a hand when West would be doing a perp walk Those things combined. I mean I'd figure at least 10 years It'd be all over the papers. Maybe talking about it on ABC CBS and MSNBC NBC CNN PBS NPR But Hunter Biden no one's talking about it. But the thing is this You're gonna plead guilty going in there You think it's gonna take me about what three five minutes?Then all of a sudden when things unravel because we had someone a judge that was doing their job and Understanding and interpreting the law and exposing something that didn't seem right Now all of a sudden you're gonna enter a plea of not guiltyThis is a head scratcher so as long as the sentence was this misdemeanor and you know You get away with it. You're guilty of it. I mean you say I did it but now all of a sudden when it comes to be that You don't have immunity from future charges...That there is a little bit more that could be out there. Now all of a sudden you're gonna tell us that you're not guilty? So this this I don't know Moral relativism I'm guilty if I don't have any consequences or in ramification I'm not guilty if there are consequences and ramifications Which one is it hunter? Because see everyday Americans out there know that they don't pay their taxes Well, unless you're Al Sharpton, so Hunter Biden and Al Sharpton are in the same boat They don't have to pay taxes. Nothing happens. As a matter of fact, huh, you know Al Sharpton got to visit the White House with Barry Sotero. I think about 75 81 times something like that Now here you got hunter he gets away with whatever and to hear the the the binder, you know Korean John Pierre the White House mouthpiece say that well, he's a he's a private citizen This is this is not something we want to discuss publicly Then don't have him up in the White House Miss John Pierre He is a public figure He's someone that's getting invited to all the little swore ways up the swallow ways up there in the White House. So yeah, he's flying on Air Force One to go over to Ireland and have a little shindig. Air Force One is paid for by the United States taxpayers. So yeah, we want to know we want to hear from you We want to know what the big guy thinks about this. That's why you got to ask the question. So it's gonna be very interesting to see what happens now. I think they got like a month to come back to this judge. Can you imagine now the quote-unquote DOJ prosecutors who were basically sleeping in the same bed and you know You know you lay down with dollars you go get fleas and that's exactly what happened to these DOJ prosecutors Now they got to try to figure out where do we go from here? If the guy has said that he's not guilty to something he was going to plead guilty to he's guilty. And There should be none of this stuff about well, we're gonna get rid of any future investigations. There'll be no future charges. No. You're still gonna be guilty and held accountable for that There has to be consequences and ramifications the American people sick and tired is two-tiered justice system I don't care what the alphabet suit mainstream leftist media says, we're not tolerating this anymore, I don't care whose son you are. And don't give me this stuff about you know, Joe Biden's a compassionate dad. He's concerned about what his son is doing He may have profited and benefited from what his son was doing. So we got to get to the bottom of this But again as I was driving down to Port Aransas I'm thinking how does a guy you know is gonna walk in and he's gonna plead guilty to something But then all of a sudden when he finds out his deal blows up in his face. He's not guilty. I don't know. But we gotta get to the bottom of this and this is not political and Republicans got to understand stop being afraid of the left and just do what's right. Where there is corruption it has to be eradicated has to be eliminated I don't care how high high up how high up it goes Try saying that three times how high up it goes. We're not supposed to tolerate that here in this constitutional Republic We're not The old Soviet Union yet I know that there's a lot of leftists that want us to be that way and they want to create this little Politburo thing where the elitists are there at the top and they can do whatever they want and all of us Serfs down here just worked to serve them that ain't happening on my watch So pay attention what's going to be coming out in a month when little mr. Hunter has to go back into that court in Delaware But the real thing I want to talk about What happened while I was away? I? Mean how many times does Kamala Harris need to stick her foot in her mouth? Before she does not like the taste of her own toes Because once again all of a sudden I guess she wanted to blow up this thing about one little sentence one little sentence in the African American black American black is whatever curriculum standards there in the state of Florida one little sentence and I read that sentence over and over and over the good thing is that I'm a black man that could read that sentence There are a lot of young black boys and girls can't read Yet we're wasting our time on this one little sentence instead of worrying about the fact that Even I think LeBron James your school that you sponsor. I mean you the kids there are not reading a grade level So this whole thing about now of a sudden Ron DeSantis Support slavery and everyone's saying that there were benefits to slavery. I read that sentence over and over and over and over again It ain't about benefits to slavery slavery suck, but what sucks even more is That the people who stood up for the institution of slavery are now trying to act like they have this righteous indignation Over something that they fought to preserve Democrats something that they did not support being abolished Democrats something that they continue to perpetuate the black codes Jim Crow segregation poll taxes literacy tests Ku Klux Klan now all of a sudden they're gonna act like they're upset over one little sentence and they're gonna send out sister girl Kamala Harris Who really has no black experience whatsoever? I mean, I'm saying this as a kid born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia and the old fourth Ward neighborhood Who's born a blacks only hospital? I don't think Kamala Harris has ever cooked a pot of hop and johns She's never dipped some cornbread in some potlicker maybe she never even drank a glass of buttermilk Now you say no colonel and I why you want to bring all this stuff up Yeah, because that's part of a black experience, okay But now all of a sudden she's walking around acting like she's the you know, the keeper of the Grail of the black experience I Have never seen her come out and say anything about over the past 50 years over 20 million black babies being Murdered in the womb by dismemberment, but now all of a sudden she's sister girl number one as a matter of fact She continues to our you know support and advance the murdering of unborn babies in the womb that has had an adverse effect on the black community Oh By the way that thing called Planned Parenthood that supports her and that she supports It was founded by a white supremacist and a racist by the name of Margaret Sanger who spoke at Plan rallies referred to blacks as underzirables and human weeds But she's all of a sudden upset about a sentence in the Florida curriculum for black history See this is how the old colonel would have done this and dealt with this in the aftermath of Kamala coming out and speaking out about it. See the bottom line is that the Republicans Republican Party? Party that was established in 1854 on one single issue that was to abolish slavery And of course when the first Republican president was elected those Democrats those folks down thought they went ballistic They decide they were going to succeed But the Republican Party and the 13th and 14th 15th amendments all the things that they did they took the tragedy of slavery and Turned into a triumph For people who that had recently become freed When you look at my ideological mentor Booker T Washington and the things that he wanted to do when you think about all of those Republicans and white philanthropists there were starting institutions of education like Hampton Institute and Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. What were they trying to do? They were trying to turn tragedy into triumph That's all that was happening They were trying to show that in this brutal system that you have survived in this brutal system That we went to war for hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their lives for wounded Now somehow we can turn this around Into something good for you By giving you an education By enabling you to see that the things that you had to do and to toil under Somehow we can turn that into an ability for you to do as Booker T. Washington said education entrepreneurship and self-reliance See once upon a time you had to work hard in these things But Now we can get you to understand how powerful you have because you know how to do things as Booker T Washington called it the ability to be able to do things with your hands to labor to show that you are Valued because of what you know and what you can do. That's what he talked about That's why you had the Negro big business league that was established under his watch And the next thing you know people that were formerly slaves are out buying buildings in places like Harlem That's why he talked about industrial education at Tuskegee Institute so that it wasn't about just going and getting a bunch of book learning it was about getting learning that enabled you to be successful in The economic society in which you live even if it was in the south. That's why they learn how to make bricks That's how they learn how to build buildings That's why it seems to sing all of these different type of things that they were forced to do by Democrats that they were forced to do under this Institution brutal institution of slavery now we can take these things we can provide you with an education We can make you better off so that you can have the education and entrepreneurship and the self-reliance But yet what do we have we have a bunch of chuckleheads out there running their mouths? While the whole time we're forcing blacks into a new type of enslavement Which is economic enslavement and let me read you a quote from Booker T. Washington Which really does describe Kamala Harris and the rest of these you know cackling hens out there that we have there is another class of colored people Who make a business of keeping the troubles the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public? Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles. They have grown into the settled habit of Advertising their wrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances He or her Not made up pronouns male female because they don't want to lose their jobs Because they don't want to lose their jobs I am afraid that there is a certain class of race problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well Because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means to make of living But also an easy medium through which they can make themselves prominent before the public. That's you Kamala Harris. I Have not seen you go to any inner city and talk about the shootings that happened there a Couple weeks ago. They had 37 in Chicago I've not seen you Kamala Harris go in there and talk about the fact that and it's not too far away I mean, you know, you can almost take a metro You can definitely take the the the mark train. I think it is up to Baltimore. You know, you know, you can fly a helicopter Have a you know convoy of SUVs You can go right up to Baltimore Why have you never gone up there and talked about the fact that you have? Black boys and girls not reading and doing math at grade level. Oh, that's right Dog gone at West you forgot The Democrats say that math is racist You agree with that Cami But you're not speaking out about that You're not not speaking out about how the black family has been decimated because of the policies of your party Lyndon Johnson, Grace Society war on poverty What 24 25 percent of black kids have a mother and father in their home When have you ever talked about fatherlessness in the black community? But no, you got to go down to Florida and you got to start reading off the teleprompter Acting like you're upset over one little sentence That one little sentence has nothing to do with us happening in the black community What's happening in the black community is exactly what you are You don't want black people to lose their grievances because you don't want to lose your job You want to keep people riled up about something that is of no consequence And you know, I'm just gonna be honest I'm not gonna get up in arms about it Because I see what is going on in the black community Could have been phrased a little differently. Yeah But there's truth to it That Unfortunately, thanks to the Democrats the brutal institution of slavery did enable some blacks To develop it blacksmithing and other things but It was Republican Vision and philanthropy that first freed them they made them citizens that gave them the opportunity to vote and and to hold Political offices the very first members of the Congressional Black Caucus were all Republican seven gentlemen The very first black Republican Member of Congress was Josiah T. Walls 1873 to 1876 he was a slave. Hey Kamala. Did you know that I? Was the second Byron Donalds you're the third And so Instead of jumping on this leftist bandwagon and supporting them and their propaganda, you know, let's let's hit them let's go on the office and say that how ironic it is that they're up there screaming and yelling about an institution that they Established promoted and continue to advocate for They continue to want to keep people in a slave mentality in the black community. This whole thing about reparations What about an education? Our inner cities are crumbling For yet Kamala Harris is gonna run down there to Florida read a teleprompter Stick her foot in a mile And make herself out to be a fool Which for her happens weekly if not daily And you know, look I'm not criticizing her I'm you know, I don't have a law degree Maybe it's good that I don't I don't have a law degree But I don't I don't get this unrighteous indignation When you look at all the other things that are falling apart in the black community That are really the result of the policy the programs and the ideological agenda of the party of the jackass the Democrat Party I Mean help me out. I mean, you know someone sent send a an email or a text message something, you know, a Facebook post Ex-post, I guess it's not 20 anymore But tell me where I'm wrong. Tell me where the Democrat Party Has advanced the cause of the black community in the United States of America. I Mean NAACP was not even founded by black people. It was for white Intellectual elite progressive socialists Who handed it over to a black intellectual elite progressive socialists who ended up? Chowing down and you know drinking wine with Mao Tse tongue renounced his American citizenship became an avowed communist That's why WV Du Bois that dude ain't my hero. He ain't my mentor But the man who was a slave Who once he became free wanted an education That man's my mentor that man's my hero The man who said nor should we permit our grievances to overshadow our opportunities as Booker T. Washington And there's a reason why the left does not want to talk to him about him There's a reason why black intellectual elites always want to call him the Uncle Tom to sell out all these things Instead of reading his speech that he gave in Atlanta my birth town They would rather be a black intellectual elite They would rather say that it was an the Atlanta compromise speech Yeah, yeah, I see but he was invited to the White House He was the guy that had a president come and visit Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute He was the man that went out recruited George Watson and Carver He's the reason why we had the triple I mean the 332nd fighter squadron Tuskegee Airmen My godfather William Sticky Jackson was a Tuskegee Airmen Let's see we're not talking about that as far as history We've got a bunch of loudmouth chuckleheads To just talk about one little sentence So what does the colonel stand on this The colonel says that everyone out there ranting and raving about it Y'all just stupid almost stuck on stupid When you see all of the other things that are facing the black community today and you're getting upset over a sentence I Wish we were out there developing more black entrepreneurs Making sure that blacks were more self-reliant economically independent not economically dependent But There's another class of color people who make a business of keeping the troubles the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because They want sympathy and partly because it pays some of these people do not want the Negro to lose their grievances Because they do not want to lose their jobs Race hustling This grievance industry pays good don't it Kamala But that's not how we honor The history and the experience of being black in the United States of America We should be talking about how we have strong families They can come together Have a family vacation And take their children and their grandchildren to the Gulf of Mexico And let them put their feet in the ocean for the first time Instead of worrying about a sentence that many black kids cannot even read Steadfast and loyal[MUSIC] This is a public episode.

Este tipo de leitura me ajuda a tentar amar verdadeiramente a Deus, como estes homens amaram, e sua justiça; me ajuda, a fortificar a minha fé. E este é o ponto. Com o passar do tempo eu observei que a maioria da população católica, vou me concentrar na do Brasil, pois não tenho informações suficientes de outros países, não conhece a igreja histórica. Me parece que o que alimenta a fé dos fiéis é a ajuda provinda dos céus para os problemas domésticos, tais como trabalho, saúde e relação conjugal. Dificilmente, pelo que tenho observado, uma pessoa pede a intercessão de Nossa Senhora para que ele não peque contra a castidade, por exemplo; ou para que ele se torne um novo apóstolo de Cristo. A pergunta professor é a seguinte: Por que a igreja nunca trabalhou neste sentido? Veja, eu nunca vi ouvi falar em meu bairro ou em outro qualquer de um padre que de palestras a respeito da batalha de Lepanto ou sobre a revolução francesa . É claro que os tempos são outros, pós o concilio Vaticano II, mas sinceramente, eu penso que seria de uma desonestidade intelectual tremenda de minha parte, afirmar que este concilio é o responsável por este vácuo, pois em um país de mais de 500 anos de catolicismo, não se encontra o menor vestígio na população católica de fatos históricos da igreja. O que alimenta a mente perturbada de um revolucionário, senão a esperança de um paraíso terrestre e o “exemplo de coragem de seus mártires”? Pegue uma pobre alma dessas que defendem a quadrilha partidária do PT e vejam se ele não sabe quem foi Mao Tse, Stalin, Lênin, Gue Vara e tutti quanti. Agora um católico não tem a menor idéia de quem foi um Damião De Veuster ou um São Tomás Morus. Ambos, por motivos diferentes é claro, doaram suas vidas pela fé em nosso Senhor, com uma coragem e um amor ao próximo que comove a qualquer cidadão católico.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news that's all about the Fed who not only raised rates today, they also see more big rises before the end of the year.As expected, the US central bank has raised its policy rate by +75 bps to 3.25%. Interestingly, that is now above the RBNZ policy rate (of 3%) for the first time since March 2020, and outside the pandemic period and the period immediately before it, the first time in more than 20 years. It is also their highest since early 2008.The US Fed has also significantly raised its sights on where its policy rate is headed in its battle against inflation. By the end of 2022 they expect this rate to rise to 4%. Markets have priced in more with a year-end rate of 4.25%. A year out they now see a 4.6% Fed Funds rate, up sharply from 3.8%. And their view of how that comes down from there is now much more restrained.This is a slightly more hawkish view than they had at previous reviews.Markets initially responded by bidding up the value of the US dollar.

The transnational criminal organization that is the Chinese Communist Party has just effectively elevated its top Mafioso to the status of emperor. That's not good for the people of China or anybody else. The so-called Sixth Party Plenum has rubber-stamped current dictator-for-life Xi Jinping's status as equivalent to history's most monstrous and murderous thug, CCP founder Mao Tse-tung. And it endorsed Xi's agenda of “making China strong.” In accordance with “Xi Jinping Thought” and his “China Dream,” that means acquiring and exercising the capability to dominate the planet and, in the process, destroy the United States and the rest of what's left of the Free World. Will we confront and counter Emperor Xi in time? Not if it's up to a man aptly described as our Manchurian president, Joe Biden. So, it better not be left up to him. This is Frank Gaffney. 

Xi Van Fleet is a remarkable and very courageous woman. I had a chance to interview Xi recently about her experience as a child survivor of Mao Tse-tung's Cultural Revolution in Communist China. She warns that so-called Critical Race Theory is a variant on the Marxist-Maoist “class-warfare” technique for dividing and oppressing populations. Ms. Van Fleet came to national attention when she presented this insight to Virginia's Loudoun County School Board. Her warning is all the more compelling now that Attorney General Merrick Garland has told the Justice Department and FBI to treat people like her as “potential domestic terrorists.” In other words, if you oppose the use of a devastatingly effective communist practice aimed at indoctrinating children and adults, destroying individuals and families and subverting entire nations, the Biden administration now considers you a public enemy. That's un-American and completely unacceptable. This is Frank Gaffney.

Non è facile avere nelle proprie case un quadro di un famoso artista, perché di solito l’opera d’arte è una e unica, escludendo le copie. Andy Warhol ha avuto il merito di commercializzare l’arte, come se fosse un comune bene di consumo, esasperando il concetto di riproducibilità. Le frasi su Andy Warhol ci raccontano delle idee dell’artista. Il poliedrico e carismatico Andy Warhol Andrew Warhola (in arte Andy Warhol), considerato da molti il simbolo della Pop Art, nasce il 6 agosto del 1928 i Pennsylvania, a Pittsburgh, da genitori cecoslovacchi emigrati poi negli Stati Uniti d’America. Dopo aver conseguito la laurea di Carnegie Institute of Technology, decide di trasferirsi a New York, seguito poi dalla madre che diventerà la sua più fidata collaboratrice. Nonostante lavorasse presso alcune delle più prestigiose riviste come Harper’s Bazar e Vogue, Warhol coltiva segretamente la sua passione per l’arte che lo porterà tra gli anni 50 e 60, a esporre le prime serigrafie: la sua concentrazione si focalizza sulla rielaborazione di beni di consumo in un periodo in cui si afferma sempre maggiormente la società dei consumi. Nelle sue opere prodotte in serie, allo scopo di rendere l’arte fruibile a tutti, compaiono lattine di Coca-Cola, Popeye, Superman e scatole di zuppa Campbell: in quest’ultimo caso, l’opera “100 Coins” vede la presenza di 100 barattoli di zuppa, simbolo dell’America consumista dell’epoca. Nelle opere di Warhol non c’è biasimo, critica o sentimentalismo: ogni soggetto è privato di umanità e sentimento, arrivando a raffigurare il disastro aereo del 1962, rendendolo solo una pura immagine visiva. Le opere più importanti di Andy Warhol Nel 1965 Andy Warhol decide di fondare la Factory, vista non solo come luogo di produzione di serigrafie ma anche come luogo di ritrovo di artisti come Haring, Clemente e Basquiat. Tra le opere più famose di Andy Warhol c’è senza dubbio la sua Marilyn Monroe, ma di grande successo sono state poi le serigrafie raffiguranti Elvis Presley, Che Guevara e Mao Tse-tung. Nel Museo del Novecento a Milano è conservata “Sixty Last Suppers”, l’Ultima Cena rivista da Warhol in chiave Pop Art. Andy Warhol, da artista poliedrico quale si è dimostrato, ha dato il suo importante contribuito anche al mondo del cinema e a quello della discografia: ha infatti finanziato il primo album del gruppo Velvet Underground. Dopo il ferimento per mano di una femminista nel giugno del 1968, Andy Warhol si allontana dalla scena pubblica fino alla morte nel 1987, per un banale intervento alla cistifellea.

Defensive stocks doing okay. Tech getting wrecked. We look at the Buffett indicator which agrees with a few US strategists that having doubled in 18 months the market is precarious. We look at the shuffling nickel sector and wonder whether the takeover interest might filter down to the minnows (one day). Most of the brokers don't like Macquarie after their update yesterday but what would they know, they've been wrong so far. Mao Tse-tung and Michael Buble finish us off.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we look at the man who most historians call the worst tyrant of all time, Mao Tse-tung. Was he worse than Hitler? Yes. Was he worse than Stalin or Kim Jung Il or Saddam Hussein? Way worse. How? Well, his horrible Great Leap Forward killed upwards of 60 million Chinese due to starvation, overwork, disease, or flat out murder. He forced parents to bury their own children and purged entire classes of people, all to make China a world power. He was born the son of a farmer and excelled in school, but he was forced to quit and work on the farm. When he was old enough, he left and went to school in another town where he was exposed to new communist teachings. He rose through the ranks of the Chinese Communist Party due to his diligence. Eventually, the leader of China died, and the new chairman, Chiang Kai-shek, was against Mao’s party. There was a brutal war where Mao led a guerilla squad of 200,000 men against him, but it was squashed and led to something called The Long Walk. Eventually, thanks to an allegiance during World War II, Mao rose to real power, eventually becoming the top man in the China. Once in power, he started the Great Leap Forward, which lead to the worse man made famine in the history of the earth and destroyed China’s economy. This made him unpopular, but he led the Cultural Revolution, which basically turned him into a god king. Oh, and as god king, he got really freaky with sex. Really freaky. Underage girls, modified beds, banging his own guards, venereal diseases, you name it. What was the deal with his 14 year old mistress? How did Stalin scientifically evaluate Mao’s poop, and what did it do politically? How did he get Soviet premiere Khrushchev to wear children’s water wings and have a meeting in a pool? What was the result of only brushing his teeth by swishing tea around in his mouth?

Cześć! W tym odcinku serii Powojnie ponownie poruszam wątek komunistycznych Chin. Najważniejszą ich postacią był i w zasadzie jest do dzisiaj Mao Tse-tung. To on był architektem najważniejszych politycznych decyzji w Państwie Środka po 1949 roku. Nawet pomimo wewnętrznej opozycji udało mu się utrzymać władzę. Jego chore wizje i ambicje doprowadziły do śmierci milionów Chińczyków. Zamordowała ich m.in. polityka tak zwanego Wielkiego Skoku Naprzód. O co chodziło? O tym w tym odcinku serii Powojnie.

Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! Mao Tse-tung took control of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949 and declared the beginning of a Hundred-Year Marathon to become the worlds leading superpower. Intelligence expert Mike Pillsbury wrote this book as mandatory reading for American foreign policy advisors in the wake of their new supreme leader Xi. Americans see ourself as the world superpower, how could you not while spending $4T/yr on the military. Theres a war as cold as ice underway, it continues to drop in temperature the further we wade into an age of digital disinformation, covert coups and nonlinear warfare. This time the stakes are a bit higher than staking a flag on the moon, we’re talking about the race to become the head of the hydra, leader of a federation of nations. No doubt we’re top shit in the U S of A, but who’s to say other countries cant take a shot at the title? The US is twenty plus trillion dollars in debt to China, meanwhile Nike and Apple lobby against child labor laws in their country. This show is a balanced commentary on the past millennium where China was beholden to the British Empire via the opium trade, much like China influencing the American opioid epidemic with fentanyl. We’ll weigh into the equation gaffs of government like the 1949 Chinese event that shall not be named where protestors were flattened to pancakes. How does this compare to Big Tech censorship in the US where million man marches are ignored by the corporate media if it does not fit their global narrative. Beware the empathy effect, analyzing a foreign totalitarian may make you realize the fascist in your own mayors. Ben Franklin said it best, “Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults” China Numba Won!

In this half episode, Alex goes over Mao Tse-tung's 1937 essay "On Practice." Follow along here-----> https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-1/mswv1_16.htm

Feminist icon Kate Millett passed away three years ago at the age of 82. Her 1970 book, Sexual Politics was called “the Bible of Women's Liberation” by The New York Times and had a seismic effect on feminist thought. It launched Millett as what the Times called “a defining architect of second-wave feminism.” In a cover story that same year, TIME magazine crowned her “the Mao Tse-tung of Women's Liberation.” But Kate's sister Mallory is the polar opposite of her sister. In a riveting article entitled, “Marxist Feminism's Ruined Lives,” Mallory revealed what she saw of the subversive undercurrent of her sister's passionate radicalism. An unrepentant conservative, Mallory has been very vocal about her early experiences with the feminist movement and her subsequent defection.

1 November 2020Solemnity of All SaintsMatthew 5:1-12A + Homily19 Minutes 28 SecondsLink to the Readings:https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/110120.cfm(New American Bible, Revised Edition)From the parish bulletin of Sunday 1 November 2020:  The wife of a most distinguished oil painter who taught at the Art Students League for many decades, having started there as a boy with a scholarship given by Mayor LaGuardia, told me that he had “perfect pitch” when it came to mixing his palette. She also confided that he never painted autumnal scenes of leaves at full peak because the colors are so brilliant that on canvas they would seem artificial. In my brief tutelage under him, I found his happiness in his work contagious. But the most important thing I learned was that lesson about the natural outdoing artifice. And this can be taken a step further with reference to God’s grace which, as Aquinas said, does not destroy nature but perfects it, despite our limitations.    In other words, if the best human talent cannot replicate the highest beauties of nature, we cannot expect to be more than heroic on our own. Saints are not superhuman. Sanctity is simply the state of the virtues lived to an intensity beyond unaided human effort. This gift is available to all who allow God to infuse their lives with the love that made them. “I no longer live, but the Messiah lives in me, and the life that I am now living in this body I live by the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). Paul of Tarsus was not less who he was, but more than he had been, when that change happened. It is rather like Yehudi Menuhin’s violin; for when a lady said that his violin “made such a beautiful sound” he placed his ear to it and said that he heard nothing. Divine grace is to the human being what human talent is to the instrument of wood and strings.    This explains why saints experience such transporting joy commingled with suffering: Living a life of grace makes the gracelessness of a fallen world more painful for them than it does for others who have passively adjusted to it. To continue the theme of aesthetics, I am reminded of how William F. Buckley, who could do many but not all things well, showed Chagall a picture he had painted, only to hear that master groan, “The poor paint!”    Perhaps that gives a sense of the divine wrath caused by God’s contemplation of lives that have neglected to let him be in them. Think of what Attila the Hun or Mao Tse-tung might have accomplished had they accepted the Gospel. Conversely, one dreads to think what evil Aquinas might have caused if he had used his brilliance to tell lies, or what desolation Teresa of Calcutta might have spread by twisting her fame to propagate eugenics.    The Feast of All Saints celebrates those who show us what we may or may not become by showing what we can be. 

This week’s reading is a guest reading by Em (@em_being) from Abnormal Mapping.They’re reading all of “Oppose Book Worship”by Mao Tse-tungAvailable online here:https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-6/mswv6_11.htm[This episode:]I. NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK – 1:35II. TO INVESTIGATE A PROBLEM IS TO SOLVE IT – 2:19III. OPPOSE BOOK WORSHIP – 4:14IV. WITHOUT INVESTIGATING THE ACTUAL SITUATION, THERE IS BOUND TO BE AN IDEALIST APPRAISAL OF CLASS FORCES AND AN IDEALIST GUIDANCE IN WORK, RESULTING EITHER IN OPPORTUNISM OR IN PUTSCHISM – 6:02V. THE AIM OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INVESTIGATION IS TO ARRIVE AT A CORRECT APPRAISAL OF CLASS FORCES AND THEN TO FORMULATE CORRECT TACTICS FOR THE STRUGGLE – 7:04VI. VICTORY IN CHINA'S REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE WILL DEPEND ON THE CHENESE COMRADES' UNDERSTANDING OF CHINESE CONDITIONS – 10:11VII. THE TECHNIQUE OF INVESTIGATION – 12:52Footnotes:1. 3:36See Confucian Analects, Book III, "Pa Yi": "When Confucius entered the Ancestral Temple he inquired into everything."2. 6:40Li Kuei was a hero in the well-known Chinese novel shui Hu Chuan' (Heroes of the Marshes) which describes the peasant war that occurred towards the end of the Northern Sung Dynasty (960-1127). He was simple, outspoken and very loyal to the revolutionary cause of the peasants, but crude and tactless.3. 7:32Comrade Mao Tse-tung has always laid great stress on investigation, regarding social investigation as the most important task and the basis for defining policy in the work of leadership. The work of investigation was gradually developed in the Fourth Army of the Red Army on Comrade Mao Tsetung's initiative. He stipulated that social investigation should be a regular part of the work, and the Political Department of the Red Army prepared detailed forms covering such items as the state of the mass struggle, the condition of the reactionaries, the economic life of the people and the amount of land owned by each class in the rural areas. Wherever the Red Army went, it first made itself familiar with the class situation in the locality and then formulated slogans suited to the needs of the masses.4. 9:57Here 'the mountains' are the Chingkang mountain area along the borders of Kiangsi and Hunan Provinces; the 'plains’ are those in southern Kiangsi and western Fukien. In January 1929, comrade Mao Tse-tung led the main force of the Fourth Army of the Red Army down from the Chingkang Mountains to southern Kiangsi and western Fukien in order to set up two large revolutionary base areas.5. 11:50The "Book of documents" consisted of the resolutions adopted at the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in July 1928, including the political resolution and the resolutions on the peasant question, the land question, the organization of political power, etc. Early in 1929 the Front Committee of the Fourth Army of the Red Army published these resolutions in book form for distribution to the Party organizations in the Red Army and to the local Party organizations.

Notas del episodio:La primer película de sci-fi horror fue la adaptación de Frankenstein's de Mary Shelley's en el cine mudo en 1910. También otra adaptación fue la del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde en 1913. En ambas películas, se introdujo el concepto de científicos locos y experimentos que terman mal al cine.Más adelante, en los años 30s, hubo más películas de sci-fi horror que involucraban a otros científicos locos como el hombre invisible, Dr. Cyclops y monstruos como el Vampiro murciélago. En el hombre invisible, que incluso tuvo un remake (de tantos) recientemente, trata del científico químico Dr. Jack Griffin que descubre el secreto de la invisibilidad cuando trabaja con una droga llamada monocane, dicha droga supuestamente había causado locura en animales en previos experimentos. Esta película toma un giro terrible cuando el Dr. Griffin pide ayuda a su colega para dominar el mundo realizando asesinatos. Dr. Cyclops es una película donde el Dr. Alexander Thorkel, un biólogo llama a sus colegas a una junga en Perú. Eventualemente, los colegas se dan cuenta de que tiene acceso a material radioactivo por medio de unas minas y que lo está usando para experimentar con animales. Los hace pequeños. La historia se torna oscura cuando el Dr. Thorkel usa la tecnología para reducir a sus colegas los cuales tratan de sobrevivir en la jungla. El vampiro murciélago trata del Dr. von Niemann quien crea un organismo artificial que requiere de sangre para mantenerse en vida. Estas películas se dieron después del a primera guerra mundial y hubo secuelas a través de la segunda guerra mundial.Después de la segunda guerra mundial, en los años 50s hubo dos eventos que influenciaron significativamente el género de la ciencia ficción. El desarrollo de la bomba atómica que aumentó el interés en la ciencia y también la ansiedad y miedo de efectos post apocalípticos si hubiese una guerra nuclear. Miedo que hasta hoy en día permance latente. El segundo evento fue el inicio de la Guerra Fría y la paranoia comunista en los Estados Unidos debido al miedo del espionaje de la Unión Soviética. Se generó por las confesiones que salieron a luz de oficiales de gobierno en altos mandos en USA. Una de las películas más importantes de ésta década fue "Destino la Luna". Trata de la historia de 4 astronautas que llegan a la luna utilizando una nave espacial movilizada por energía nuclear. Éstos, competían contra los soviéticos en llegar primero. Situación que representaba la rivalidad entre Estados Unidos y la Unión soviética durante la guerra fría y la presión referente a la exploración espacial.También resalta en esta época la Guerra de los Mundos, una adaptación del libro que lleva el mismo nombre de H.G. Wells. La película trata de una invasión extraterrestre en la tierra. También hubo un remake relativamente reciente e inspiró la famosa película Marcianos al ataque. Una película de comedia con la misma temática.Aquí ya nos empezamos a adentrar a la ficción y el horror dentro de la exploración espacial representada como el qué pasaría si vamos al espacio o si aliens vienen a la tierra. Ésta no se limitó a los Estados Unidos únicamente. En el 54 aparecio Gozilla en Japón... Goyira! Los monstruos gigantes se les reconocen como Kaiju en japonés y toda esta onda de sci fi + efectos especiales fue la chispa que inspiró a Kubrick en 2001: Odisea del espacio de 1968s.Cabe recalcar que el hombre llegó a la luna en un año después, en 1969, en el Apolo 11 comandada por Neil Armstrong. Todo esto despertó una nueva era en el cine de ciencia ficción.Una década después, se empieza a hacer popular los thirllers conspirativos. Éstos son aquellos en los que un investigador amateur o una persona de bajo rango decifra casos que involucran a toda una organización o institutción hasta los líderes de más arriba. Ya había nacido éste término "Thriller conspirativo" o "Thriller de paranoia" desde los 60s, cuando estaba la paranoia comunista. Sin embargo, no se solidificó hasta los años 70s.La razón de esto fue que en el mundo había mucha incertumbre y falta de confianza por líderes como Pinochet en Chile, Mao Tse'tung en China, así como la crísis del petróleo y el incremento en el terrorismo a nivel mundial. Todo este miedo se vio representado en el cine a través de historias conspirativas.En esta década es donde aparece la gran obra maestra de Alien, en 1979, que sentaría precedente en el cine de horror espacial y a la cual le haremos un episodio por separado. Otras películas de horror espacial como Solaris, de origen ruso, que trata de una estación espacial orbitando alrededor de un planeta Solaris donde una tripulación murió debido a una crisis psicológica. Envían a otra tripulación para evaluar la situación y empiezan a darse cuenta que ocurren fenómenos extraños.En los 80s destacan películas de horror espacial como "Creature", película donde un equipo de investigación en una luna de saturno descubren a una criatura extraña que comienza a asesinarlos.En los 90s está Event Horizon - donde una nave espacial (Event Horizon) que aparece en el año 2047 después de haber desaparecido por 7 años. Ha estado en otra dimensión y al regresar, se trajo un ente maligno que materializa los miedos de las personas.Los años 2000 trajeron películas como Pandorum donde una nave va a colonizar otro planeta similar a la tierra y parte de la tripulación se despierta antes de tiempo. Esto causa confusión y se dan cuenta que no solo son víctimas de la enfermadad psicológica "Pandorum" sino que también hay otros que despertaron ya desde hace tiempo.Moon donde un astronauta se encuentra trabajando solo en una espación espacial y empieza a encontrar a un extraño en la nave.Sunshine, donde el sol está muriendo y una expedición fue enviada para reactivar el sol y regresar el calor a la tierra, que se encuentra congelada y amenaza en terminar con la humanidad.En los 2010s en delante, ha habido sci-fi de horror en el cine pero en particular el horror espacial destaca Prometeus, la precuela de la película de Alien del 79. El sci-fi horror espacial ha ido madurando gracias a los efectos speciales y avanves tecnológicos. Jason X también salió en esta década.Suscríbete:No olvides suscribirte a nuestro canal para recibir notificaciones de los nuevos episodios cada lunes a las 7PM.

The number of babies born in China in 2019 was the lowest since 1961, during the forced implementation of Mao Tse-tung's “Great Leap Forward.” That effort to turn China’s agrarian society into a purely communist one not only cost the lives of an estimated 45 million people through starvation but dropped the number of births to less than 12 million in a year. Afterward, policies were implemented by Mao’s followers to rein in China’s population growth, which soared following that greatest famine in all of human history. Chinese officials implemented a “two child policy” in 1969, but changed it 10 years later to “one child” per family, with some exceptions. Read the article here!

Í gær fögnuðu Kínverjar því að 70 ár voru frá því að Mao Tse-tung lýsti yfir stofnun Kínverska alþýðulýðveldisins undir einræðisstjórn kommúnistaflokksins.

Xi Jinping is China's strongest leader since Mao Tse-tung, what is his vision for the Middle Kingdom? Plus, Washington blames Donald Trump for dismantling US global leadership, but is he really the culprit?

Grötiga terroristtankar, banbrytande filosofi och viktiga litterära författarskap. Allt rymdes hos Bo Cavefors förlag. Det får en av fundera över dagens intellektuella klimat, säger Tor Billgren. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. RAF: texter, som publicerades på Bo Cavefors förlag i oktober 1977 måste vara en av bokhistoriens mest vältajmade utgivningar. Det är en 520-sidig antologi med texter av aktivister inom den västtyska terrorgruppen Röda Arméfraktionen, RAF. Cavefors berättar om publiceringen i Malmökonstnären Lena Mattssons filminstallation I betraktarens öga, som visades på Moderna Museet i Malmö 2014. Förutom den svenska boken, gav han också ut en utgåva på tyska, eftersom inget tyskt förlag vågade göra det. För att böckerna inte skulle fastna i tullen, fabricerade han ett fejkomslag: Kärlek med förhinder stod det på framsidan av ett stort antal av de tyska böckerna. Cavefors hade starka drivkrafter, både politiska och litterära. I Lena Mattssons intervjufilm kallar han sig kulturell onanist. Det som gör boken så vältajmad, är att det var just i oktober 1977, som palestinska PFLP kapade ett Lufthansaplan med kravet att ett antal fängslade RAF-ledare skulle friges. I fem dagar irrade planet runt i Mellanöstern med fem besättningsmedlemmar och 86 passagerare som gisslan, sju av dem barn. Tidigt på morgonen den 17 oktober kunde planet slutligen landa i Mogadishu, Somalia. Det stormades av tysk specialpolis, och gisslan fritogs. Följande morgon hittades RAF:s fängslade ledare, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin och Jan-Carl Raspe döda i sina fängelseceller i vad som förmodligen var ett koordinerat självmord. I samma veva lägger alltså Bo Cavefors RAF: texter på bokhandelsdiskarna. Det var förstås också en mycket kontroversiell utgivning. RAF hade vid det laget mördat 16 personer i sina olika aktioner, varav två i Stockholm under ockupationen av Västtyska ambassaden 1975. Och våren 1977 hade SÄPO slagit till mot en RAF-trogen terrorcell i Sverige som planerade att kidnappa före detta ministern Anna-Greta Leijon i utpressningssyfte. Så hösten 1977 visste alla vad RAF var. Bo Cavefors hade en särskild näsa för det som låg i tiden. Han startade sitt bokförlag 1959, men det är först 2018 som historien om förlaget berättas utförligt i bokform. Det är bokhistorikern Ragni Svensson som gör det i sin doktorsavhandling Cavefors Förlagsprofil och mediala mytbilder i det svenska litteratursamhället 19591982. Första året gav den då 27-årige förläggaren ut nio titlar från sitt föräldrahem i Limhamn, bland annat Sju algeriska studenters vittnesmål om tortyren i Frankrike och tre böcker av den mycket kontroversielle poeten Ezra Pound. Stig Claesson sökte sig tidigt till förlaget, liksom en ung Lars Norén. Honom refuserade dock Cavefors, tre gånger på tre år. Förlaget fick snabbt en vänsterpolitisk profil. Ragni Svensson noterar att utgivningen kom att spegla eller rentav föregå den väg som den svenska vänsterrörelsen kom att ta framåt slutet av 1960-talet. Cavefors gav ut Mao Tse-tung, Rosa Luxemburg, Antonio Gramsci, Marx, Stalin, Lenin och Nordkoreas diktator Kim Il Sung. Det kom tjogtals med titlar som En socialistisk kultursyn, Marxismens politiska ekonomi och Kulturrevolutionen vid Kinas universitet. Han introducerade tänkare och filosofer som Roland Barthes och Michel Foucault. Peter Weiss knöts tidigt till förlaget, och 1975 gav Cavefors ut den nigerianske författaren Wole Soyinka, 11 år innan han fick Nobelpriset. Det är inte dåligt för vad som länge var ett enmansförlag. Men Cavefors hade starka drivkrafter, både politiska och litterära. I Lena Mattssons intervjufilm kallar han sig kulturell onanist. Att läsa om Bo Cavefors skapar funderingar om intellektuell takhöjd och diskussionsklimat nu och då.  Vill man få en överblick över vidden av utgivningen kan man ta till en annan bok från 2018: BOC en bok om Bo Cavefors Bokförlag, som innehåller en komplett bibliografi. De Caveforsböcker som jag själv har starkast kontakt med är Salvador Dalís självbiografi, som tidigt väckte mitt intresse för konst. En annan är William Burroughs Den nakna lunchen, som Cavefors tog till Sverige 1978. Jag hittade den på en loppmarknad i Simrishamn 1996 och läste den på ett kvavt tåg samma sommar som jag skulle rycka in i Flottan. Boken var osprättad, så jag satt med min morakniv och skar. Sida efter sida sköljde bokens febriga och erotiska hallucinationer över mig. Förlaget gick under i det som kom att kallas Caveforsaffären; en stormig process som spelades upp kring 1980. Bo Cavefors hade vunnit en upphandling från Kulturrådet om att ge ut Strindbergs samlade verk i ny utgåva. Men mitt under förberedelsearbetet drogs beslutet tillbaka. Officiellt på grund av brister i upphandlingsförfarandet, men i den debatt som följde menade Cavefors försvarare inom kulturvärlden att det var hans kontroversiella utgivning som var det egentliga skälet. Han var för obekväm, för besvärlig. Snart kom också anklagelser om ekonomisk brottslighet. Han satt häktad i polishuset i Lund i nio dagar, men frikändes sedan på 10 av 11 åtalspunkter. Förlaget gick i konkurs och i början av 1981 såldes det enorma boklagret i en legendarisk utförsäljning. Det är förmodligen från denna som min osprättade Burroughsbok härstammar. Att läsa om Bo Cavefors skapar funderingar om intellektuell takhöjd och diskussionsklimat nu och då. Hade utgivningarna av till exempel Ezra Pound, Stalin och den svenske fascistledaren Per Engdahl, vars memoarer Cavefors gav ut 1979, kunnat stå emot dagens sociala medierdrev och polariserade åsiktsjournalistik? Hade ett etablerat förlag idag kunnat ge ut visdomsord från Islamiska Statens teologer, eller Anders Behring Breiviks manifest? Bo Cavefors har motiverat utgivningen av RAF-boken med att det rörde sig om viktiga dokument för den tiden. Att publicera något måste inte betyda att man ställer sig bakom det. Det finns en historisk och vetenskaplig poäng med att tillgängliggöra material för den tänkande allmänheten, även av kontroversiell, oetisk och korkad natur. Kanske är den här nakenheten exhibitionism, precis som det kan vara exhibitionism att ge ut böcker. Efter tiden med förlaget har Bo Cavefors i hög grad fortsatt med sin kulturella onani. Han har skrivit böcker och gett ut tidskrifter, men också samarbetat med olika konstnärer. I Lena Mattssons installation som visades på Moderna i Malmö, ingår förutom intervjufilmen, bland annat också en liten projektion av en naken Cavefors från en pjäs som han satte upp i Malmö 2005. Den här nakenheten återkommer i flera konstnärliga samarbeten, till exempel med Martin Bladh på Fylkingen i Stockholm 2009, och med Leif Holmstrand. Boken Ett rum på tredje våningen består av textflöde och bilder, där en åldrad Cavefors poserar i olika sexuella situationer, inte sällan insnärjd i Holmstrands virkade girlanger. Kanske är den här nakenheten exhibitionism, precis som det kan vara exhibitionism att ge ut böcker: att torgföra sina åsikter och posera med vad man tycker är viktigt. Kanske är nakenheten provokation, precis som det kan vara provokation att ge ut Stalin eller ett tjockt manifest med grötiga terroristtankar och livsfarlig våldsromantik, som en av recensenterna beskrev RAF-boken. För 4050 år sedan yttrade sig denna inskränkthet genom upprop om moralisk resning, idag genom krav på trygga rum och triggervarningar. Men det är ett ytligt sätt att se på saken. Jag ser snarare nakenheten som ett verktyg för att ifrågasätta kroppsideal och avslöja fördomar, precis som utmanande bokpubliceringar kan avslöja inskränkthet och en subjektiv och godtycklig syn på yttrandefrihet. För 4050 år sedan yttrade sig denna inskränkthet genom upprop om moralisk resning, idag genom krav på trygga rum och triggervarningar. Ett samhälle behöver sina obekväma och besvärliga personer. Det är de som lockar den indignerade flocken att demonstrera var toleransens gränser går.

William J. Murray is the chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition in Washington, DC. For more than three decades he has been at the forefront of social conservatism. He has appeared on ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC News and has authored hundreds of columns, which have appeared online and in print. William J. Murray continues to work for the rights of Christians in America and persecuted Christians around the world and is the author of eight books. Utopian dreamers are deceived and deceiving. Their "fight for the people" rhetoric may sound good at first, but history proves egalitarian governments and the cultures they try to create destroy freedom, destroy creativity, destroy human lives, create poverty and misery, and often spread beyond their borders to bring others under slavery. Utopians believe that through their own personal brilliance a better society can be created on earth. When the belief in man as a creation in the image of God is completely rejected, the use of slavery and mass execution can be justified in the name of the creation of a utopian state for the masses. Pol Pot, Vladimir Lenin, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-tung together these so-called visionaries through their fanciful policies are responsible for the deaths of millions of people. In Utopian Road to Hell William J. Murray, son of atheist apologist Madelyn Murray O Hair, describes the totalitarians throughout history and the current utopians who are determined to engage in social engineering to control the lives of every person on earth. From Marx to Hitler, Murray explains the progression of socialist engineering from its occultist roots to the extreme madness of the Nazis nationalistic racism. 

Hundreds of thousands have been fighting the official federal takeover of public, private, and in large part, homeschool curriculum through the Common Core State Initiative.  Many of them see the similarities between the 20th-century totalitarian government schools systems and CCSS.  But often they are dismissed as using rhetoric, and living in the cold Cold War. But what would you say, if someone who lived in China under Mao Tse-tung rule, who completed her education in China and said, yes Common Core is the same standards and expectations Moa demanded of her and her classmates? Yes, in fact, Lily Tang Williams has seen Common Core before!  It was the same education program she and her countrymen were forced to endure, and it has cost them and their country dearly.  Tune in this week, as we discuss Mrs. Willaiam's Chinese education roots and experiences and how they compare to what she sees in Common Core.   Lily Tang Williams Born in the wild west of China, Sichuan province near Tibet,  and raised with her two sibling brothers by illiterate working-class parents, Lily grew up facing poor living conditions, food rationing, political, and social chaos.  In this tumultuous environment, she quickly developed both street smarts and compassion as well as the values of perseverance and hard work. At 17, Lily graduated at the top of her high school class and placed near the top of the national exams (held once each year for three eight-hour days).  She did well enough that she was only one of three students from her province of 80 million people to be accepted to Fudan University law school that year, one of China's top five universities. Lily received her university law degree at Fudan University in Shanghai, practiced law and joined the Law faculty at Fudan.  She came over to the U.S. in 1988 to earn a Master's degree at the University of Texas at Austin, School of Social Work with a minor in Administration and Planning. After her Master's degree, Lily worked with troubled youth from dysfunctional families in Ivanson Memorial Hospital and Wyoming Home Health Care in Laramie, Wyoming as a social worker. Later, she worked for corporations in Hong Kong and the United States as a corporate executive. In particular, as "China Operations Manager" for PREL Inc., directly reporting to it's president, she was responsible for the overall management of China-based office performing Wal-Mart manufacturer certification, quality control, and inspection.  In that capacity, she also acted as a liaison between Wal-Mart's exclusive world buying agent at the time, PREL Inc., and vendors in China and Wal-Mart buyers. Lily became a Colorado small business woman and entrepreneur in 2000. She is currently the President and founder of ACM International Corporation, a consulting and trading firm in Colorado specializing in China-related business services. She and her husband John also own and manage their rental properties in Colorado and Nevada.

Chinese automakers are borrowing a military strategy from Mao Tse-tung called “Encircling the City from the Countryside.” Honda and Mitsubishi revealed several vehicles they will show at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show. Audi will no longer offer manual transmissions on its S4 and S5 models in Europe. All that and more, plus a preview of Autoline This Week about issues facing car dealers in the U.S.

Introduction Testimony to Christ in Psalms You have a little hint in my prayer where we're going today, but we're looking at Psalm 2. We're looking at the second Psalm, so turn your Bibles there if you would. Last week, we began a new series in Psalms and my purpose in this series is to help us to look at the value of the written Word. We’re looking at Psalms that talk about the value of the written Word to the individual believer like Psalm 1 and those Psalms which testify to the living Word, Jesus Christ. There are some prophetic Psalms which look ahead and give us a picture, perhaps as much as a thousand years in advance of who Jesus would be and what his purposes would be. Now, as we look at world history and the history of what's going on even today, we see tremendous strife and conflict. We can see the churning of the waves of the nations. It's very interesting in Revelation when it says, "I looked and there was no longer any sea." The Book of Revelation said there's no longer any sea. Well, in the Book of Revelation in chapter 13 it's out of the sea that the beast comes. A churning sea. That is the nations, and they're like a churning sea, aren't they? Whipped up like a hurricane, there's all this foment and rebellion. Psalm 2 gives us a focal point to that rebellion. It gives us a focal point to the purposes of the nations as they churn and chafe. And that focal point is rebellion against the Lord and against His Christ as well as whatever else is going on in history for the past 2000 years. As the church has sought to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it has been opposed every step of the way. And what's so beautiful is that Psalm 2 said it would happen; the opposition would happen. But what's even more beautiful is that Psalm 2 gives us the remedy: the sovereign power of God and his determination to advance the Kingdom, and that is our theme today. Look with me to Psalm 2 as we read along together. Beginning at verse 1, it says: "Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed one. “Let us break their chains,” they say, “and throw off their fetters”. The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in His wrath, saying, “I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.” I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: He said to me, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.” Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for His wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.” Now, after Jesus was raised from the dead, He appeared to His disciples and spent with them 40 days. During that 40 days with his Apostles, He was giving them an intensive training in Scripture. It was a 40-day crash seminary course in the Old Testament and any of you who love the Word would love to have been there to hear it, wouldn't you? What better teacher than the incarnate Word of God? And so, it says in Luke 24:44-45: "He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." Did you hear that? There are Psalms that are written about Jesus Christ. Then it says: "Then he opened their minds so that they might understand the Scriptures." That is a good prayer for a preacher: “Oh Lord, open their minds that they might understand the Scriptures.” There's a veil over our minds; we don't see their truth coming through until the Holy Spirit removes that veil in Christ. And so, He opened their minds. How to Interpret Psalms It's an amazing thing to think of Jesus actually being able to open our minds, but he does. And he wanted them to understand the Scriptures in particular. And today we're going to focus on one of those: the second Psalm. Now, when we come to Psalms, we come to a difficult part of Old Testament Scripture to interpret. It is difficult because it is woven together in the everyday life of the Jews that wrote it, usually King David. Now, David was a messianic figure; he was a picture of Christ, and this is the beauty of the way that God has communicated to us. It says in Hebrews 1:1: "In the past, God spoke to His people through the prophets at many times and in various ways." Well, what are the various ways that God spoke to the people in the Old Testament? Well, he spoke to them verbally through predictive writings like Psalm 2. He also spoke to them in everyday life and through the events of life which he controlled to give a picture of what would come in the future. And some of the events of David's life give us a picture of the future reign of the Christ. He was anointed with oil. He was anointed and the anointed one is the Messiah, the Christ. He was raised up to be King from humble origins, but he became King through much opposition and through much trouble and distress and many enemies and his reign was a difficult one. Until at last, he was finished with the work that God had him to do. Now, there are similarities between that and the reign of Christ, but there are differences as well. And so, as you read Psalms, it's difficult because some of the lines apply to Christ and some of them don't. They could be right closely together and woven together but there are some aspects of Psalms that have nothing to do with David, even though he wrote them. We get this. The analogy of Scripture teaches this and this is a foundational principle of interpreting Scripture. Scripture interprets Scripture. If you want to understand how to handle Psalms, then look at how the New Testament writers handle Psalms, and they found Christ there. They found Christ there. Now, if you were to go to a university or a seminary class and didn’t fully understand that, you would be talking as you read through Psalm 2 about a coronation Psalm that was used in the history of Israel. When all the Davidic kings were raised up, they would read something like Psalm 2. The problem with that is it just goes too far: “Ask of me and I'll give you the nations for your inheritance, the ends of the earth for your possession.” It's a little ambitious for a small Palestinian king. The words lift us up above the immediate circumstance to point to something far greater. And so, Peter standing up on the day of Pentecost made it clear that there were some aspects of Psalms that did not relate to David's life, even though David wrote them. Like Psalm 16, in which David said “You will not let your Holy One see decay” (Ps. 16:10). Peter picked up on that and said David decayed. But there is one who didn't decay, and that is Jesus. He is the death conqueror and I stand here today to proclaim to you through the resurrection of Jesus Christ's triumph over the grave. You see how it works? It teaches us how to interpret Psalms. There are some aspects that are directly about David's life. But now, I'm going to take Psalm 2, and I'm going to just lift it up as a messianic Psalm because I believe from front to back it talks about Jesus Christ. Overview and Structure of Psalm 2 Now, what is the theme of Psalm 2? Basically, the theme is this: the sovereign God, the Creator of the ends of the Earth, has given the ends of the Earth to His Son, Jesus Christ. He's decreed that they belong to Jesus. He is going to advance that kingdom and there is not a power on Earth or in hell that can stop it. That is the message of Psalm 2. The application of Psalm 2 is: be wise, don't oppose it, don't stand in the way of that advance, but come and join. That's what Psalm 2 is. Now you understand Psalm 2.I like to break it apart into four parts. I see in verses 1-3, humanity's strident rebellion. In verses 4-6, God's serene reaction. In verses 7-9, God's sovereign decree, and then verses 10-12, the preacher's urgent application. Humanity’s Strident Rebellion (vs. 1-3) Rebellion’s Insanity Let's look at the first in Verses 1-3, humanity's strident rebellion. What is the first word of this Psalm? Somebody tell me, what is it? “Why” That's a powerful word, isn't it? Why? As a minister, I hear people ask that question so often in times of suffering, don't they? And who is it they're asking? If they're not asking the preacher, who are they asking? God. They're asking God. Why could you let this happen to me? Right? Well, God is asking us here the question why. Isn't that powerful? I look through the Scriptures, and I don't have time to tell you all the times that God asks human beings why, but it's a powerful study. Just look up the word and go through and see the number of times he does it. He did it to Cain. He does it... I mean, just... I don't have time, but it's just a beautiful study. But I picked out one in particular, Ezekiel 33:11, it says: "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways!" And then he asks this, "Why will you die, O house of Israel?” Why? There is at the root of all sin, insanity, isn't there? I mean, there's this kind of an insanity in sin and in three senses, I think. First of all, what good things you give up! Second of all, what terrible things you bring on yourself! And third, the absolute futility of the opposition, because you're fighting against God and you will lose. There's an insanity in the rebellion, and it comes out in the very first word, “Why”. Or how about this one from the lips of our Lord Jesus Christ to His disciples. Luke 6:46: "Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don't obey what I command you?" Doesn’t that cut you? Just come right to the heart, why do you do that? And so, we have a picture of the insanity of rebellion right at the start. Rebellion is insane. And so, I'm just urging you as a preacher, lay down your weapons of rebellion, lay them down. You will not succeed. There's insanity to it. Rebellion’s Extent Well, what about the extent of the rebellion? How widespread is it? You know, if there's a king who's ruling over a realm and there's some news of some civil war, he wants to know, well, what districts are affected by it? What's the extent of the rebellion? Well, what is the extent of this rebellion? It is worldwide. It is universal. This is not just something we find in one culture, like in the US or one area like Europe. It's a worldwide rebellion. It's found everywhere. It says, “Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?” Now, a Jew reading that, what's he thinking? When he reads about nations and peoples, what's he thinking about? Gentiles. Oh, the Jews are the chosen people, right? But the ironic thing is, in Acts Chapter 4, the apostles applied it to the Jewish leaders who were rebelling against Christ. You see what I'm saying? They're behaving like Gentiles, not like God's people. It really extends to everybody, Jew and Gentile alike, in their revolt against Jesus Christ. It's worldwide in its extent: “For all have sinned and lack the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). It's worldwide. Rebellion’s Nature But what is its nature? Well, it says in verse 2: “The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed one.” The first thing we see is pride. There's pride at the root of this rebellion. Human leaders, you know, pride and ambition run deep in these people. And when you think about kings of the Earth, don't just think about political leaders. It could be a CEO of a multi-national conglomerate. It could be anybody with a position of power and influence. The kings of the Earth, you know? And there is pride in these rulers and they don't want anyone to tell them what to do. It runs to the core of the rebellion. There's also some rage involved in it: in verse 1, in the Septuagint (the Greek translation), and it's brought over into the New Testament as well. In Acts 4 when they quote this, it says, “why do the nations rage”? NIV has “conspired”, but the root word is the same. There is an enraged conspiracy here. There's an anger to it. There's a sense of riot and rebellion here. But where does the rage come from? I think that the pride and the anger come together. When pride is thwarted, what is the result? Anger, right? Look at yourself. Whenever you want something and don't get it, you get angry. And so, pride and anger go together, and I think it's demonic in this case. There's a kind of a satanic side, because it says in Revelation 12:12, speaking of the Devil: “Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with rage, because he knows his time is short.” So, I think that in their rage, they're behaving demonically. Pride and rage, what else? There is meditation involved in this. There's an intellectual side to the rebellion. Now, last week in Psalm 1 we talked about meditation, didn't we? The godly blessed one doesn't take the counsel of the wicked, stand in the way of sinners, sit in the seat of mockers, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law, he meditates day and night. Same Hebrew word over here. They are meditating on how to throw off the shackles of the Lord. They're thinking deeply on how they can do it. It's like a think tank. Do you know what a think tank is? You get all the skillful intellectuals together and they think hard on one topic. And what is the topic here? How to get God out of our lives. How to throw off his reign. So, they're thinking deeply on it. So, there's pride, there's rage, there's meditation, and then there is organization. There is an organization here. There's a conspiracy. “The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather”, what? “Together.” There's an organized revolt here. Now, earlier when I was preaching through Genesis a year ago, we looked at Genesis 11. Remember the Tower of Babel? And there was this organization there, and they were building a tower to reach to Heaven. And remember what God said: "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing will be restrained from them." (Genesis 11:6). There's an incredible power in people working together for a common goal, good or evil, isn't there? And so, here we have a common goal: the throwing off of the reign of the Lord and of His Christ. And then finally, we see determination, pride, rage, meditation, cooperation, organization, and determination. They take their stand against the Lord. We get the picture like, Goliath, who for 40 days came and took his stand against the Lord's armies and blasphemed the God of Heaven. He took a stand. And so, they're determined. There's a battle of wills going on here. My will against yours. Rebellion’s History Is there any human being on Earth with a stronger will than God? Absolutely not. God's will is unshakable and unbreakable. But this is the nature of the rebellion. Now, if we were to take a long time under the tutelage of a church historian, we could go through the rebellion’s history, for it has characterized the last 2000 years. It wasn't just Pontius Pilate and the leaders of the Jews in Jerusalem; it went on from there to the Roman Empire as a whole. Roman emperors were opposing and fighting against the advance of Christianity. You know the stories about the Christians who were sacrificed in the Colosseum, and the Roman Emperors Nero, Decius, Valerian, and Diocletian one after the other, persecuting Christians. Now, understand the switch we've made here. Persecuting Christians is the same as persecuting Christ. Do you see that? Do you remember on the road to Damascus: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” (Acts 9:4)? You see, if you touch my body, you touch the head. That's how it works. So, persecuting Christians is the same as fulfilling Psalm 2, and that's what these did. And after the Roman Empire went Christian, so to speak, and began to send out missionaries to the barbarian tribes, what did the barbarian chieftain start to do? Persecute the missionaries. The same thing, and it's carried on throughout all of history. When I was in Japan, I learned about the Shoguns and their opposition to Christianity. They would make Christians step on a plate representing Christ, and they knew no true Christian would ever step on that. And so, if you wouldn't, they'd kill you. The rage, the plotting, the opposition to the advance of Christianity has carried on into the 20th century. Hitler sought to crush true Christianity. So did Joseph Stalin and so did Mao Tse-tung. They tried to crush it. Even in our country today, do you see it? It's not just martyrdom, it's just a matter of opposition. Like some of the Supreme Court cases we have these days about even mentioning God or praying. We see this. There's an opposition even in a free democracy like this. It runs deep. It's universal. Rebellion’s Futility And then ultimately, we see rebellions futility. It's true what God said in one sense, in Genesis 11: “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing will be restrained from them.” But that's not a “nothing” with an absolute sense there. There is something they cannot do, and that is defeat God's purposes. God’s Serene Reaction (vs. 4-6) Look at the next section, verses 4-6, look at God's serene reaction: “The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in His wrath, saying, “I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.” God's absolute serenity is founded on His absolute sovereignty. Do you see that? Peace comes from recognizing who runs the universe. I don't know what all you're going through. If we had time for testimony for about 15 hours, each of you could have about 25 minutes and tell us what you're going through. The answer to your problems is the absolute loving sovereignty of God. Whatever it is, God is sovereign and powerful and he rules. And so, there is peace that comes from understanding it, but the peace starts with God himself. Is God a flustered, upset, out of sorts being? Absolutely not. Our God is in Heaven, he does what pleases him and he's at peace, and so there's a serene reaction. The Scripture says he sits, he laughs, he mocks, he speaks, he terrifies, he decrees. That's his response to the rebellion. But he does not get upset, or anxious, or worried, or out of sorts. Not at all. He Sits I love what Charles Spurgeon had to say here. He said: "Observe, dear friends, the wonderful contrast between the violent excitement of the enemies of the Lord, and the sublime serenity of God Himself. He is not disturbed though the heathen so furiously rage, and their kings and mighty one set themselves up in battle array. He smiles at them: he hath them in derision. You and I are often downcast and depressed, and our forebodings are dark and dismal, but God sits in his eternal peacefulness, and serenely overrules tumult and rebellion. The Lord reigneth, and his throne is not moved, nor his rest broken, whatever may be the noise and turmoil down below. Notice the sublimity of this divine calm. While the heathen and their princes are plotting and planning how to break his bands asunder, and cast his cords from them, he has already defeated their devices, and he says to them, “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill in Zion.” You will not have my Son to reign over you, but nevertheless he reigns. While you have been raging, I have crowned him.” Isn't that powerful? The sovereign serenity of God in the midst of all the tumult of this rebellion. Isaiah 40:22-23 speaks to this as well: “He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes to not, and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.” He Laughs and Mocks While I was preparing this sermon, I thought about the rebellion of those who would shake their fist at God and say, "I will fight you every step of the way." And I think about God up in Heaven and he says over to Gabriel, “Did you hear that? I know it's hard to hear. It's a little dim. They said, I'm gonna fight you every step of the way.” [laughter] I'm glad you laughed. It's a laughter in concert with Heaven, do you see? It can't succeed. Our God is powerful, and He's not threatened by this revolt at all, not even a little. He actually makes fun of it, and you know, it's interesting how God's laughter and mocking is not meant to be crushing to the rebels, but actually to give them time to repent, because there's a time gap between the laughter and the mocking and the terrifying and the rage. You see what I'm saying? When the wrath comes, there's been a long time delay, for our God is a patient God. And so, what the people are supposed to do is see the laughter in the thwarting of the everyday events as they try to do things and it doesn't work out the way they want. The Church just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And there's a humor side to it, almost. Like Voltaire, who vowed that within one generation, no Frenchman would be reading the Bible. And within one generation, the French Bible Society had bought Voltaire's house and were printing Bibles in his house. There's some humor there. But it's supposed to make you think, “Wait a minute, we can't fight God. We can't oppose him.” It should cause them to repent, because ultimately, he's going to speak a word of judgment, that's what Psalm 2 says. He Speaks and Terrifies The laughter doesn't go on forever. There comes a point of rage and wrath. He rebukes them in his anger and he terrifies them in His wrath. God speaks to them a word of judgment. Matthew 25:41: "Depart from me, you who are cursed into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." That's a terrifying word. Now, as I was driving along the highway here, I've seen bumper stickers. Have you seen them? No fear. No fear? I saw the North Carolina equivalent just a little while ago, “ain't skeered.” [laughter] Have you seen that one? Is that... Maybe that's not from North Carolina, I don't know, but I ain't skeered, okay? Well, our God knows how to terrify. If you'd been at the foot of Mount Sinai, you'd have been shaking when you saw that cloud descend. Moses was, he said, "I'm trembling with fear." That was Moses, he was a godly man trembling with fear. God knows how to terrify, and there are some things to be afraid of in life, like dying and going to hell. That's worth being afraid of. God's sovereign power over princes is clear, because that same Isaiah 40 passage, in which he talks about them as grasshoppers, it says: “He brings the princes of the world and the rulers of the world to nothing when he merely blows on them and they wither.” He just speaks and they wither. Do you remember when Jesus was arrested and there were all those Roman soldiers there in battle array, and he said, "Who are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth," and Jesus said, “I am” (Ego eimi, in the Greek). “I am.” And what happened to the Romans? They just fell down in front of him. They just fell down. All he said was “I am”. That's his name! And they fell down. This revolt will not get far, let's put it that way, because all he does is speak. And in terms of no fear, well, I read about fear in the future, Revelation Chapter 6:15-17: “Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!” For the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” That bumper sticker is gone now. They're looking for a place to hide. God’s Sovereign Decree (vs. 7-9) And what's the root of all this? His decree. He decrees, he says, “Nevertheless, yet, I have established my king on Zion, my holy hill.” He's established it. He's spoken the decree. God rules his Universe by decree. And what is this decree? Verse 7-9: “I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: He said to me, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.” Now, this verse is quoted in Hebrews in regard to Jesus Christ. Let the New Testament interpret the Old Testament. This is not spoken to David. This is spoken to Jesus Christ. For he says in Hebrews 1:5: “to which of the angels did God ever say, ‘You are my Son; today I have become your father’ or, ‘today I have begotten you.’” Jesus Christ is the eternally begotten Son of God, the second person of the Trinity. Now, don't imagine that because it says, “today I have begotten you” that there was a time when the father did not beget the son, that there was a time when the father existed, but the son did not. That is not true. He has always existed. That's an old heresy, Arianism. It existed a long time ago, that Jesus was a created being, and that at some point, God spoke him into existence. It has recreated itself under 30 years ago, under Charles Taze Russell with the Jehovah's Witnesses. They'll go around and tell you that Jesus is God's first created being. But it's false. And so, the Creed, the ancient Creed says that He is eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, light from light. Eternally, but then why... What is the “today” here? It says, “today I've begotten you.” Well, Paul answers this for us in Acts 13, as he's preaching, in Acts 13 it says, verse 32-33, "We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are my Son; today I have begotten you.’” So, he's linking it to the resurrection of Christ, so it really has to do with declaration of the Sonship to the world. And this is the foundation of the spread of the Son's kingdom, isn't it? The resurrection of Jesus Christ sets Him apart from every religious leader, and on the basis of that, we see the declaration of Jesus as the second person of the Trinity. It says in Romans 1:4: “who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.” You see, other than that, he's just a man who made some claims and died and rots in the grave. But he's not just a man, he's the second person of the trinity. And on the basis of that declaration of the Sonship of Jesus Christ, the gospel has been spreading for the last 2000 years. That's the basis of the advance, the resurrection of Christ. And what is the extent of the reign of Christ? In verse 8, “Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.” Who's speaking to whom there? Ask of me is imperative, the Father is speaking to the Son. Do you see that? The Father is speaking to the Son and He's saying, “Give me a prayer request, and I'll answer you. Don't make it a small one, make it a big one. Ask of me and I'll give you the nations as your inheritance. The ends of the earth, your possession.” Now that's big, it's big enough for the power of God, isn't it? Big enough for what the Son accomplished in dying on the cross. That's a big request. And so, Isaac Watts said so beautifully in a hymn we're about to sing, "Jesus shall reign where'er the sun doth his successive journeys run. His kingdom spread from shore to shore, till moon shall wax and wane no more." It's the foundation of the modern missionary movement, some left one shore and arrived at another in the name of Jesus Christ and said, “worship the Son”. That's how it works. And what is the execution of the power? Verse 9, “You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.” You say, “you know, that doesn't sound like the Jesus I know.” Gentle Jesus, meek and mild. What is this ruling with a rod of iron? Well, this verse shows up in Revelation 19, when Jesus returns with that white charger and the armies of Heaven. You'll rule them with an iron scepter. The context in Psalm 2 is what? A friendly embracing of the Christ? No, the context is of pitted determined rebellion against the Christ. And so, if that's the state you're in when the Lord returns, you will be smashed. Isn't that what it says? “You'll dash them to pieces like pottery.” The Preacher’s Urgent Application (vs. 10-12) Okay, so now we get to the application. The preacher's urgent application. Now, usually preachers have to come up with their own application, but I don't need to. The preacher does it for me here, the Psalmist, David, and he steps in and he says, “Can I give you a word of advice based on these truths?” Isn't that what application is? I want to speak to your life, and so, I will take my application from this application, and I divide it into two categories. There are two types of people who need to hear Psalm 2. There are those who have believed already in Jesus Christ and those who have not yet believed, but are part of the rebellion, even now. Of that second category, namely unbelievers, I would give this word, and it comes right from verses 10-12, be warned and believe. Be warned and believe. Look what it says: “Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for His wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.” There are five imperatives here, be wise, be instructed or warned, serve or worship with fear, rejoice with trembling, and submit to or kiss the Son. Be wise. Put away the rebellion. Don't be foolish. Be wise. Now, where do you get this wisdom? 2 Timothy 3:15 says: “The Scriptures are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” The wisdom is right here in Psalm 2. Be wise, don't fight God, don't fight Jesus Christ, be wise. Proverbs 22:3, the book of wisdom says: “A wise man sees danger and takes refuge, but the foolish keep going and suffer for it.” What is the refuge? Is there a refuge even in our passage here? Look at verse 12, blessed are all who what? Take refuge in Him. There is a refuge, His name is Jesus Christ. There is a day of wrath coming, but Jesus is the refuge. Be wise, be warned, serve the Lord, rejoice with trembling. Find your joy in Christ. Repent and lay down those weapons of rebellion and of disobedience. Be warned and believe. But what of the believers? Most of us I would say fancy ourselves believers in Jesus Christ. What to us? Alright, I'll speak this word, be bold, be bold. Do you see it? Do you feel a courage coming out of Psalm 2 here? Ask of me, and I'll give you the nations as your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. Oh, but Lord, India has 900 million people. That's too big. Oh, I'm sorry, it's smaller than the ends of the Earth, and the nations as an inheritance. That's a smaller thing. It's a lesser thing. Isn't it? So, we get on our knees and we get bold in our prayers, we start asking for bigger things like India. “God give Jesus Christ, India.” Do you see that? Be bold in your prayers, be worldwide in your prayers. Be bold when facing obstacles and persecution. Say, “Well, it was already prophesied, I knew it was coming.” Right here in Psalm 2, it's going to come. But we're going to triumph, we're going to be victorious. Be bold in the time of persecution and strife; be bold and courageous; be bold in outreach plans. Make big plans and carry them out by the power of God. Don't be a small weak Christian. Psalm 2 gives you the foundation for boldness in ministry in Jesus Christ. Reaching out big. Is it too big a thing that we could ask for Durham to glorify God, that we could ask to be used by God to lead many, many people here to Christ? Is that too big a thing for God? Oh, it's small, it's a subset of the other request. “Ask of me, and I'll give you the nations for your inheritance, the ends of the earth, your possession.” To the unbeliever, I say: be warned and believe. If today you hear His voice, if you feel the pull of Jesus Christ today, come to faith in Christ, don't put it off. And why there's a warning here, do you see it? “Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you be destroyed.” Look what it says, “in your way.” Do you understand what that means? In your way, while you're living your life… [snaps fingers] it's over! Do you understand that? That death hangs over us, and we never know when that day will be. Do you know who holds the day of your life and the day of your death? It's God your creator. He knows the day of your death. Be wise before it's too late and you be destroyed in your way. I didn't make this up, it's what it says. Suddenly it comes, a sudden illness, an accident, car accident, suddenly you grab your chest and it's over. Be wise before that day comes, rejoice in Christ. And to you who are believers, be bold for Jesus. Nothing is too small to attempt for Jesus Christ. Please close with me in prayer. Closing Prayer Heavenly Father, we're just in awe of who you are. We're in awe of Your decree that You have made in reference to your Son. And nothing will change that decree, and I praise You for it, because my salvation is included in it. Thank you so much, and not just me, but all who are called by Your name. O heavenly Father, I pray now for the unbeliever within the sound of my voice that they would not let the sun go down today without repenting and coming to faith in You, Lord Jesus. O and I pray for my believing brother and sister that they would be bold and no longer timid, but take risks in one sense, but there are no risks, but just for us, they seem like risks that we would step out and say something to a relative or a friend or to someone about Jesus Christ. Or to make a plan for a ministry that's new and bold. O God, give us this power, we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
