-- Philippe de Mornay, Vindiciae contra Tyrannos (A Defense of Liberty against Tyrants). Vindiciae was first published in French and Latin in 1579, in response to the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre of 1572.
What is being released right now is not transparency.

“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
–Paul Anleitner
