The "divine feminine" is no more, or less, important than the "divine masculine." The veiled goddess has in every society been a personification of the mysteries of nature. Only the immortal can unveil her honestly--meaning that only once one acknowledges the essence of the soul, and abandons the ego, can a pier upon her naked body triple since the truth that all things are alive with spiritual essence. Hence MA-Rhea, the feminine principle flowing through all things. But the masculine is also present, too be it the sky or the Earth, and the goddess the Earth or the sky. We are born of the mother and dissolved into the father.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, subscribe below.

The "rape of Nanking," the Japanese military slaughter of 300,000 Chinese civilians, is supposed to be one of the worst atrocities of the twentieth century. The Allied established Tokyo Tribunal found 100,000 dead and the Nanking tribunal, three times as many. However, a University of Nanking study by Dr. Lewis Smythe, who was in the city when the Japanese took control, found that even with underestimations the number of dead was about 31,000 people. Many of them were also armed and died from direct combat with the Japanese. The number of dead in the city itself was only a few thousands and the entire surrounding countryside had to be included to get even above 10,000 dead.  Yet today the Chinese government has made it illegal to question this and other historical narratives; they also demand perpetual apologies from the Japanese despite their more recent murder of upwards of 60 million of their own people from starvation and mass murder quotas. The 2011 JAPAN-CHINA JOINT HISTORY RESEARCH REPORT also agreed that the Imperial military was given strict orders to not behave in the ways accused. Even if some did, and thousands were murdered, the numbers are nowhere even close to triple digits. This is important for historical purposes, but also because Nanking remains a major geopolitical issue between Japan, China and even Taiwan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-7-VFiuyd0https://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/files/100512970.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://en.wikisource.org/wiki/War_Damage_in_the_Nanking_area_Dec._1937_to_Mar._1938https://news.web.nhk/newsweb/na/na-k10015198361000*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The Spectre of Pep: How Guardiola Haunts Modern Football Tactics (Seven Dials, 2026) by Jon Mackenzie A spectre is haunting European football. Watch almost any game, no matter the level, and you will notice it. From inverted full backs to extreme high lines, the tactical threads of the match will eventually converge onto a singular point: Pep Guardiola. For some though, his near total dominance has come at the cost of the game itself, with modern football's protagonists caught between acknowledging Guardiola's greatness and wanting to evolve the sport beyond him. In The Spectre of Pep, acclaimed tactics writer Jon Mackenzie explores this contradiction. But this is much more than the story of just one man. After tracing Guardiola's ascendancy, displacing giants like Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, it examines how other elite coaches have fought to establish their own legacies within this landscape - including the likes of Jurgen Klopp, Roberto De Zerbi, Luis Enrique and Mikel Arteta. And with his time at Manchester City coming to an end - in a world where his influence is arguably diminishing - it also speculates on what the next generation of tactics may look like, and how Guardiola's legacy will be viewed in the future. If you want to understand football today, you have to understand the tactical spectre of Pep Guardiola. To do that, you need this book.

Months ago, the administration said the war's goals were regime change and the removal of all uranium from Iran. We never hear about that anymore because the war has failed to produce either goal. Instead, Trump calls for opening the Strait of Hormuz, which had been open before the war.Be sure to follow Radio Rothbard at https://Mises.org/RadioRothbardRadio Rothbard mugs are available at the Mises Store.

Jessica Taylor is an intuitive channel and energy translator who began in mediumship and ended up in contact with something else entirely. Hosted by Neil Gaur for Portal To Ascension, she describes the moment human spirits stopped coming through and a seventh-dimensional Pleiadian being she calls Christos took their place. On camera she drops into a live transmission, and the voice that answers explains Earth's stargates, why sudden mass contact is being deliberately avoided, and what the next three to five years will feel like. Then it says the part nobody expects: some of them are already here, and you have already walked past them without noticing.

For thousands of veterans in our country, the toughest battle doesn't end when they leave the military — it continues as they transition back into civilian life and the workplace. I discussed the issues affecting Veterans in the workplace, with Shannon Walker, CEO of Northwest Battle Buddies AND there are few things better on a hot summer day than an ice-cold beer. And it just so happens that August is International Beer Month. Dr. Malcolm Purinton, Beer and World History scholar at Northeastern University, told me about the history of Brewskis.

Elizabeth April — remote viewer, galactic channeler and author — sits with Neil for Portal To Ascension. She says everything she has remote viewed for the past fifteen years is now surfacing in the Epstein files, and that when she tapped into 2026 she saw a giant nuclear mushroom cloud — the same vision four or five Monroe Institute remote viewers reported independently. She lays out a 2025–2028 collapse of the old system, a disclosure soft launch through declassified documents, and a Galactic Federation ultimatum to world governments: say something, or we will.

Debbie Solaris is an ET contactee, interdimensional traveler and Galactic Akashic Record Reader who channels galactic history through her Arcturian and Pleiadian guides. Recorded at the Conscious Life Expo, she sits with host Joan of Angels for Portal To Ascension. She says the records show direct, physical extraterrestrial contact arriving between 2028 and 2032 — and that the first beings to greet us will not be the ones everyone expects. She also claims she read Donald Trump's Akashic records, and what she says she found in the Orion system is the strangest thing in this entire conversation.

Ross Coulthart — the Australian investigative journalist and former 60 Minutes reporter behind the David Grusch whistleblower story — sits with Alan Steinfeld. He says that after decades of hard-nosed reporting he has gone completely 180, and that the United States recovered non-human technology and buried it through an operation that has cost lives. He alleges people have been murdered to protect the secret, describes the dead man's switch he and a source set up, and explains why every legacy insider he meets stops talking about the craft and starts talking about consciousness.

Debbi Dachinger on the Ant People — the underground beings the Hopi say sheltered humanity through fire, ice and flood — why sacred sites shift your frequency until you can see other beings, and the single thing every extraterrestrial has told her they look for before making contact.

Darryl Anka — the channel through whom Bashar speaks — on the two daylight UFO sightings that broke his world open, how the telepathic connection was made, why a first-contact specialist incarnates inside your species before making contact, and the single mechanic that governs every emotion you have: the belief underneath it.

Arcturian Ambassador Viviane Chauvet — openly identifying as an Arcturian hybrid in human form — walks through the Arcturian Healing Chambers experience: speed-of-thought communication, holographic chamber technology, and the Sirian-Pleiadian-Antares consciousness lineages. From the triple elixir vibrational protocol to bioelectrical jaw and sinus release, Viviane guides an Arcturian holographic chamber experience. Beings communicate at speed-of-thought, not speed-of-light. Sirian precision, Pleiadian heart, Antares warrior-priest balance — all integrated through Arcturian architecture. The session moves past the astral plane into sixth and seventh dimensional octaves of light, closing with the royal blue and golden touch infusion.

While the nation of Israel was going through their cycle of apostasy and repentance, there were other nations that were going through some pretty tough times. In this episode of Bible Backdrop, we're taking a step back from the narrative in the book of Judges and taking a look at what's happening in the wider world. We look at Egypt, Greece, Babylon, Assyria, and the Hittite empire. We discuss the phenomenon known as the Late Bronze Age Collapse and see how that event impacts these nations.If you are enjoying Bible Backdrop, please leave a 5 star rating and review.

Reviewing Lawrence H. White's Free Banking in Britain, Murray Rothbard dismantles the claim that Scotland enjoyed a century of successful free banking before the Peel Act of 1845. Drawing on Sydney Checkland's history, he shows that the Scottish banks pyramided credit on the Bank of England rather than standing on their own specie, suspended payment alongside England from 1797 to 1821, and let reserves fall from 10–20 percent to as little as 1 percent, while depositors who asked for gold met argument, rebuff, and the threat of losing future credit. The rarity of bank failure that White counts as proof of success, Rothbard argues, is evidence of the opposite.

On the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the French Revolution is being re-litigated again—the left holding it up as necessary progress, conservatives citing Burke to argue it proves free-market ideas end in blood. Ryan McMaken, drawing on Rothbard and Ralph Raico, rejects both. Liberalism's role, he argues, was small and confined to the revolution's first months; what followed owed nothing to Jefferson and everything to three forces—the extreme centralization of the French state, twenty-five years of war, and a revolutionary regime that simply replaced the old bureaucracy with a harsher one while keeping every lever of power intact. The real mirror of the American Revolution wasn't the revolution at all, but the decentralist, secessionist peasants of the Vendée it crushed.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 25, 2026.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

The Policy and History faculty panel takes student questions on the state of the movement and the prospects for freedom. Along the way the panelists remember Dr. Roger Garrison, the Auburn economist who drew several of them into Austrian economics and who passed away this past year; work through the newest ideas in the field; debate whether utilitarian or moral arguments win more converts; trace which pre-Austrian thinkers shaped the American founders; and close on the question that matters most to a room full of students—where, realistically, does hope for a freer society come from?Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 24, 2026.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

Austrian economics did not begin in 1871. Mark Thornton traces its lineage back through the thinkers the mainstream dismisses: the Spanish Scholastics, who worked out subjective value and the effects of inflation while dismantling the case against usury; the anti-mercantilists who told Louis XIV to abolish his taxes; the Physiocrats; and above all Richard Cantillon, whom Rothbard called the father of modern economics. Drawing on twenty-five years of his own research, Thornton makes the case for why the history of economic thought is not antiquarianism but a laboratory—and notes that the good ideas tend to appear precisely when the state grows tyrannical, overtaxes, and overspends.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 23, 2026.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

What if secularization isn't the decline of religion — but the replacement of one social order with another? In this episode, Dr. James Spencer and Dr. Ashish Varma sit down with Dr. Kevin Flatt, professor of history at Redeemer University and author of Secularization, Social Order, and World History, to unpack one of the most provocative frameworks in contemporary Christian thinking: Sacred Social Order. Kevin introduces the idea that every human culture — until the modern West — has organized its life around something higher than itself. He argues that what we call "religion" is actually a uniquely Western, uniquely modern compartment, while Sacred Social Order is the operating system beneath all of culture. From there, the conversation moves through Christian nationalism, the liberal firmware of Western democracy, Philip Reif's cultural warfare thesis, and why your children's public school is not religiously neutral. If you've ever sensed that something deeper than a culture war is unfolding — that the ground itself has shifted — this episode gives you the language to name it. Key Takeaways: What "Sacred Social Order" means, and why it's a more accurate lens than "religion" for understanding culture Why secular order isn't neutral — it has its own values, telos, and demands on individuals How the Christian nationalism debate connects to identical movements in India, Iran, China, and the Muslim world Why Philip Reif's "third culture" thesis is partly right — and where Kevin respectfully pushes back Why public education is never neutral, and what Christians should really be asking about schools Why the gym or the yoga studio may be shaping your theology more than Hinduism is The Labubu doll illustration: how misidentifying spiritual threats reveals our blind spots Get early access and a bonus with a Patreon membership.

Jay Dyer's interview on Tucker Carlson this week once again proved how far Christians are willing to go out of either ignorance or malicious intent to slap their label on things that do not belong to them, even if they contributed to the same after the fact. Jay claimed that the Byzantine empire was the greatest in history of the world because of Christianity. He also claimed yoga was anti-Christian and magic was wicked, while simultaneously saying that he believed literal bread and wine could be turned into the literal flesh and blood of a God and then consumed. Constantinople was founded in 330 CE. Christianity was adopted as the state religion of the Roman empire in 380 CE. Byzantine was not referred to as such until approximately 100 years later. However, Byzantine was simply the eastern half of the Roman empire. Although Byzantine was primarily Christian, Christians did not build it from the ground because the eastern empire was a continuation of the collective empire, and it inherited all the same economic, social, legal, etc. elements from a primarily non-Christian world. To paint Byzantine as a Christian empire as opposed to the alternative Muslim world is dishonest because their greatest enemy was the non-Muslim Sasanian empire, which embraced Zoroastrianism -- a religion not dissimilar from, but far predating, Christianity. The Byzantine empire utilized slave labor to the same extent the Romans or Muslims used them. Further east, Laozi was writing the same things found in the New Testament 500 years before Jesus. Buddha was tempted by Mara, like Jesus was tempted, but 500 years before. It is entirely relative to talk about the first hospitals and schools being Christian, because most previous societies had them. In fact, the Chinese Han Dynasty had both long before Christendom and Byzantine. Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, all contributed to the university and hospital. The ancient Egyptians had medical centers and the Ancient Greeks had schools. The world's first and oldest continuously operating university is the University of Al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco. Founded in 859 AD by a Muslim named Fatima al-Fihri. The University of Bologna in Italy was founded in 1088 AD and is widely regarded as the oldest university in Europe and the first institution to use the term universitas (meaning a corporation of students). However, Taixue is likely the oldest institutional university in the world, dating back to 124 BC under Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty. Just as eastern Roman Empire wasn't called "byzantine" until after its collapse, Christians like to take credit for the first university, which was only such in name, not in conception or function.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

There seems to be an increase in online claims and speculation that every modern civilization and culture is the byproduct of people with dark skin. Specifically, black Africans. The origins of this are rooted in pseudo historical works, flawed science, assumptions and myths, and the evolution of a movement against European centrism. Some of it is also rooted in misidentification of very basic theological and mythological symbolism. For example, the black Buddha is not an African. He represents the void.; the shadow self that one must explore if they wish to transform into the golden Buddha. Other words, to achieve enlightenment, one must go within the self to conquer their demons and accept who they truly are. The same literal interpretations of black Buddha are applied to the androgynous nature of Baphomet, with people delete that it is a literal hermaphrodite. But the ‘blacks founded all civilization' narrative, from Sweden to China, is only the racial version of ‘every dead person is alive' and ‘every woman is actually a man'. This is currently playing out with Jews, claiming that they built America, and whites claiming that they, not blacks, built the world. It's all very stupid.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, subscribe below.

What happens when a feeling we assume is a universal human experience is actually shaped, defined, and even created by our specific cultural language and material conditions? Macquarie University's Future Fellow at the School of Humanities, Dr. Katie Barclay, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the overlooked complexities of a deeply human emotion. Dr. Barclay explores the history and cultural variety of this feeling in her book, Loneliness in World History. They examine how loneliness is frequently not just an internal psychological state, but rather a reflection of our relationships with our environment, our community, and the specific language we use to make sense of our world. In this conversation they explore: How the "language trap" challenges our ability to compare emotions across cultures, and why translating words for love and loneliness requires understanding their thick cultural context. The surprising nighttime weeping rituals of the Kaluli people in Papua New Guinea, where singing about loneliness serves as a cathartic communal release of pain. Why the historical narrative of human "modernization"—moving from supposedly primitive communal selves to modern individualized subjects—carries deeply colonial and problematic assumptions. The physiological elements of isolation, including "touch hunger" and how the modern internet trend of Mukbang satiates the deep-seated desire to eat alongside a community. How physical places and material architecture—from fairy-tale forests to utopian high-rise flats and car-centric suburbs—actively teach us to feel isolated and shape our emotional experiences. The paradox of the "lonely genius," revealing how the supposedly solitary pursuit of art and creativity is fundamentally dependent on an unseen network of community support and labor. This is a conversation for anyone interested in world history, anthropology, and the humanities who wants to understand the cultural weight behind our everyday emotions and how we can navigate our increasingly isolated, digital modern age. Make sure to check out Dr. Barclay's book: Loneliness in World History

Long before modern economics, the Greek philosophers were laying the groundwork for understanding human cooperation in a social setting, helping to give birth to economic thinking.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/how-greek-merchants-and-philosophers-discovered-economics

Ryan McMaken reviews a new book on the political institutions of the Middle Ages, 'The Medieval Constitution of Liberty: Political Foundations of Liberalism in the West.' We find that it is in the Middle Ages that we find the origins of modern notions of political freedom, representative government, political decentralization, and limits on state powers. In practice, the politics of the "Renaissance" and the "Enlightenment" were steps in the wrong direction.Be sure to follow Radio Rothbard at https://Mises.org/RadioRothbardRadio Rothbard mugs are available at the Mises Store.
