turns out to be something discovered at least a decade ago

The first reason for this is that students and Academics largely don't read the literature. The second is that for decades now the literature is garbage. In my tiny area of expertise, I can't tell you how often I don't make it past the abstract before chucking a paper into the round filing cabinet. My theory is that statistics ruined the Academy; they allow people to conduct "research" by floating in the wind and shoving their garbage data from their garbage "experiments" through garbage "models" and claiming they've done something. Prior to the middle of last century a researcher was expected to develop formulae and a mechanistic theory for how they thought shit works and for these to actually be useful; now its all garbage correlations.

Then they expect me to "listen to the experts." Its the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect PhD Edition.

Every heretic since even before Arius appeals directly to scriptures extensively. Your understanding of the Christian Religion is based on a foundation that you fail to acknowledge or possibly even know exists. Even the NT instructs Christians to listen to both the written and spoken teachings of the Apostles (and yes, the Apostles appointed new Apostles in Acts).

From 325 to about 1550 every Christian held to the Nicaean Creed. Have Christians been been wrong about the faith for most of the years since Christ?

Jews remain in a Covenant with God

I know of no such Dogma. I am aware of many people stretching Vatican2 documents and Nostra aetate past their breaking point to imply such though.

And yes, I have seen this nonsense use to claim Christianity is for abortion and contains a recipe for an abortion multiple times online without comment to it being based entirely on speculation and other translations not supporting it.

Its not the translation; its ignorant moderns assuming more ancient people are as stupid as they are. Anybody with a brain knows what Numbers 5 describes: a religious rite, specifically a religious right invoking Devine intervention and judgement. The punishment for adultery under Levitical law was death, but the law required witnesses. This rite was specifically prescribed for women accused of adultery by their husbands without the requisite proof. Neither the Levites nor the people thought dusty water was an abortifacient; the "rite of dirty water" was invoking God's judgement. This particular rite essentialy exonerated women accused of adultery without evidence, baring Devine intervention.

Because, at least in this case, they used E-Verify. But E-Verify does not work, AND the EEOC can sue you for discrimination for going beyond the minimum requirements. As I pointed out in another thread, if a Hispanic dude speaking no English presents documents preporting him to be "John Smith from Buffalo NY" you run the risk of the Feds punishing you if you refuse to hire on that basis. This is not well known and not talked about at all.

The manager of this particular plant complains that he had used E-Verify on every employee. I don't know if that true, but the so-called E-Verify system only checks that the person (or specifically a record) exists. Furthermore you can be successfully sued for pressing past the bare minimum documentation when hiring: a Hispanic dude speaking no English can present documents for a "John Smith from Buffalo" and you have to hire him or risk punishment. The system is worthless.

Dude's huffing blackpills lately. Can't say I blame him, but his abortion thing is weird because, and I hate to say this, he seems to be the rare actual example of a man opposed to it because he just doesn't want women to have the option, ie what the pro-abortion crowd accuses the anti-abortion movement of being.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” ― C. S. Lewis

I am, in fact, more scared of "diversity" than a "dictatorship."

His choice of targets is really odd. The 90 minute delay between attacks bizarre. The fact that his first victims survived rather than being executed. His profile doesn't seem to make sense (nor does his transition from store manager to international security). This one is really odd. Could be a nutter, bu this has Vegas shooting vibes.

Iran kills some Americans

Neither Iran nor its proxies need to be involved for this strategy to work. Israel supports as many Islamist groups in the wider region as Iran does. This isn't secret, its overt policy*: see Israeli support for Islamists in Syria. In all likelihood an attack on Americans will come from one of the Mossad supported groups.

*Tbf we do this too, and its always bitten us in the ass. Also see A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm, though the wiki page is pretty sanitized.

SecState says Israel's actions were unilateral. This is Netanyahu playing politics against Trump.

Ok twitter dude. Iran is 7000 miles from the US. What exactly are we praying for? Be specific.

There seem to be two only be two kinds of people in this world: Americans and foreigners who presume an entitlement to live in America. This distinction covers every person on the planet. This is a serious problem and it will end our civilization if we don't teach foreigners they have no right whatsoever to live here. Another big problem is we have to teach this to some Americans as well, not to mention the huge number of non-Americans with US citizenship.

Bryan Burrough's Days of Rage is excellent reading. It especially amazing that all of the events detailed are well within living memory but completely absent form public consciousness. Frankly I felt Burrough was even kind of sympathetic to many of the assholes his book covers, but there were clearly limits to the authors' understanding that ran dry many times throughout the book.

This is what the Civil Rights Act of '64 looks like.. The public image of MLKjr's "peaceful protests" is yet another lie covering up the fact that communists stripped Americans, at gunpoint, of their right to local governance and freedom of association in the 60s.

The commissar/pleb dynamic of the Soviet world was not a failure; its is precisely what Judaism views as the appropriate state of he world. Now the Stalinist purges wound up driving out many the Jewish Bolsheviks; that where the American Neoconservative movement came from and why, if you look closely, the neoconservative movement was anti-Soviet rather that truly anti-Communist.

'Well, let them come in, but they have no access to any government-funded resource'

This has been tried and it passed in California with 60% of the vote only 30 years ago. The courts struck it down and the demographics of the state were remade into what you see today.
