Scripture influenced civil governance in the West at least from the time of Britain’s King Alfred in the Ninth Century AD, who translated Scripture passed on early Constitutional law to his sons and grandsons who would rule, and who would continue to defend the British Isles from Vikings.
Two notable laws which were not unknown to America’s founding fathers:
THE STATUTE OF WINCHESTER in 1285 emphasized the local militia made-up of men 15 to 60, and reminded citizens that open carry is permitted for their military-grade weapons. It also reminded men of their police powers to conscientiously keep the peace of their communities. This is based in Deuteronomy Chapter 22.
The Archery Laws of 1363 required practice of archery on Sundays and holy days and "forbade, on pain of death, all sport that took up time better-spent on war training especially archery practice."
In 1477, when the sport of Cricket began to replace archery range training, King Edward IV simply outlawed it, and imposed a massive fine “of fifty pounds and two years gaol for those who played the game, and one hundred pounds and three years’ gaol for anyone who allowed the game to played on his property.” That hundred-pound fine is equivalent to over $170,000 in today’s money.
Somebody typed a prompt, and a virus came out.
Sixteen of them. Genomes written by artificial intelligence, ordered as synthetic DNA, assembled on a bench, and grown into stocks that replicated and threw off offspring. Thirteen carried mutations that match no known natural sequence. The scientific paper ran in the publication Science, and its senior author disclosed funding from the Gates Foundation.
Six years ago, on April 6, 2020, Bill Gates sat with Trevor Noah and said a vaccine was the only thing that would let us return to normal — and announced that his foundation would start building the factories before anyone had seen efficacy data. Scale during testing, he said, rather than waiting for results. A great many people heard optimism. Some of us heard a schedule.

"There are times when a people tolerate an evil for so long that they cease to recognize its enormity. The evil acquires procedures, professional language, political constituencies, legal protections and respectable explanations. Eventually bloodshed receives a clinical name, partiality becomes public policy, and injustice—once sufficiently regulated—begins to look almost ordinary."

The @EU_Commission met today with Meta & TikTok on the situation in Ceuta.
"Platforms must act decisively in keeping the integrity of the digital space, in particular during crisis situations. Monitoring must increase, cooperation with fact-checkers to be strengthened."
What has social media been commanded to do? Cover up the fact that 72,000 military aged males invaded Spain over a two day period? Spin the story? Hire fact checkers who say, "Don't believe the misinformation. It was only 72 migrants." What were the orders given to social media regarding the Hungarian election of 2026? What orders are being given to the new puppet government of Hungary by the EU?
