![]() ![]() ![]() This novel is implicitly Zionist and like Zionism is based on egregious falsehoods – there is no non-Biblical evidence for the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt, an Empire of David and Solomon or mass Jewish Exile from Palestine, and almost no evidence for the very existence of King David. The Secret Chord is a work of faction (fiction based on fact) that is based on the assertedly factual Biblical account of the life of a genocidal mass murderer and racist psychopath King David whose Star adorns the flag of genocidal Apartheid Israel. The Secret Chord is an historical novel by Geraldine Brooks, an Australian convert to Judaism and a Zionist assertedly loathing the ongoing Occupation but opposing BDS against democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel. ![]() Palestinian Genocideīy Israelites In 1000BC And By Zionists Today Review: “The Secret Chord” By Geraldine Brooks. ![]()

![]() ![]() I was never a fan of Infantino's style, but it looks alright (particularly when inked by Terry Austin). ![]() Roy Thomas writes the first several issues, we get some great art by Tom Palmer and then the new team of Archie Goodwin and Carmine Infantino takes over for most of the duration. Die-hard fans should relax and try to see the comic as it's own thing. ![]() If you're going to get upset about such things, you won't enjoy this book at all. Obsessive, err, I mean astute fans will notice "discrepancies" that are a result of having worked from an earlier version of the script (or not having been provided information at all)-most notably in the case of Jabba the Hutt who is neither human nor slug here. The movie wasn't even out yet when the comic series began. Of course, no one knew how big it would be. Howard Chaykin has said that if he knew how big Star Wars was going to be, he would have tried harder-movie adaptations being mostly forgettable merchandising tie-ins. The first six issues, adapting the original film, are pretty rough in the art department. It's a very different experience reading this series today than it was back then. I'm not really a fan of the movies any more ( Empire is pretty good) but I had read some of these comics when I was a kid and wanted to revisit them. ![]() ![]() ![]() Touring Edwardian New Zealand – Paul Moon Sapiens: A brief history of Humankind – Yuval Noah Harari Recommended Reading from Thursday 19 / Friday 20 January Madly, Deeply: the Alan Rickman Diaries – Alan Rickman Ruth Galloway Mysteries (series) – Elly Griffiths Vanishing Ice – Lynley Hargreaves (non-fiction) Recommended Reading from Thursday 16 / Friday 17 February Invisible Women Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for men – Caroline Criado Perez Recommended Reading from Thursday 16 March One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow – Olivia Hawker Self-contained Scenes from a single life – Emma John Waypoints My Scottish Journey – Sam Heughanīookseller at the End of the World – Ruth Shaw What lies Beneath – Elspeth Sandys - Biography Theme: Uplit – Stories that are optimistic yet based on realism, and an uplifting hopeful quality.

We put this under our lens of ‘Boring Doesn’t Sell’ and really tried to bring something unexpected to the natural soft drink category. This approach led to a bold and playful brand aesthetic that will be seen across the range and positions the brand as tasty, fun and full of character.

It seems witches may not have been so easy to banish after all. The day of the test comes, and Emma’s results not only pair her up with strange new friends, but set her on a course to challenge everything she’s ever been taught about magic, and reveal long-buried family secrets. But the more she researches, the more she begins to suspect that her radically anti-witch aunt and mother are hiding something - the truth about their sister, her Aunt Lenore, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances years ago. In a world where a sentence of witchcraft comes with dire consequences and all children who have reached the age of thirteen are tested to ensure they have no witch blood, Emma must attempt to stamp out her power before her own test comes. ![]() It’s a rhythm she’s learned to control, and that can only mean one thing.

The bulk of the book is about learning the craft. ![]() In this introduction to witchcraft, Snow presents why/how each concept is important to a queer craft, or how to approach it from a queer mindset. ![]() This book covers the personal, the collective, and the political, and how deeply intertwined all three are in a magickal practice for those who are LGBTQ+. Queering Your Craft combines queer aesthetic and culture (like DIY culture and an emphasis on chosen family over formal covens) with pagan and metaphysical spiritual practice in a way that is commonplace but has not been written about until now. While there are books that address magick for resistance and queer myth, until now there has not been one that specifically addresses the practice of queer magick from an LGBTQ+ standpoint. Witchcraft has always belonged to the outsiders and outcasts in society, yet so much of the practice enforces and adheres to the same hierarchy we face in the world at large-a hierarchy that isolates and hurts those living beyond society’s binaries and boundaries. ![]() ![]() ![]() Of the Delian and Peloponnesian Leagues began entering into conflict with each other.

Pointing out the deception Graham represents is a sure fire way to bring an abrupt end to a conversation and damage your standing in Christian circles (I lost an account over it), even more so in light of his recent death. The thought of America’s most beloved evangelist not only being a Freemason involved in socially engineering the church, but participating in satanic ritual and mind control(!) seems outrageous. This begs a question: Why is it against “social media law” to criticize “America’s Pastor”?Ī critical examination of Billy Graham produces a negative response from most Christians. One answer for this might be what Richard Kallberg experienced and reported in his article this afternoon: “America’s Pastor” Billy Graham Exposed () In fact, on the morning of Feb 24, there were only three in the first three pages of a query “Billy Graham Freemason”: Update – In the wake of Billy Graham’s death, a Google search produces an oddly sparce number of articles addressing the questionable nature of the high profile evangelist. ![]() |
