"Given the heinous crimes they were about to commit, there is a tendency to think that the members of the Einsatzgruppen were all bloodthirsty sadists. It’s a comfortable way of thinking about the history, but it’s wrong. Whatever else motivated these killers, it wasn’t mass psychopathy. Two of the four commanders of the Einsatzgruppen, Arthur Nebe, head of the Criminal Police, and Walter Stahlecker, who had led security forces in Norway, volunteered for the job.9 The others were appointed, including the intellectual Otto Ohlendorf of the SD. He wasn’t the only cerebral commander within the ranks of the killing squads. In Einsatzgruppe A, eleven of the seventeen most senior leaders were lawyers; nine held academic doctorates."
The point is, people can be psychologically motivated to commit unspeakable atrocities. The entire book is about how the National Socialists achieved that. Thus:
"Alfred Metzner, a driver for one of the Nazi commanders [in Poland], remembered that “pregnant women were shot in the belly for fun and then thrown into the pits… . And Walter Mattner, an officer charged with organizing a ghetto clearance, recounted his actions to his wife in October 1941: “I aimed calmly and shot with confidence at the women, children and numerous babies… The babies flew in great arcs and we shot them to pieces in the air before they fell into the ditch and the water … Oh, Devil take it! I’d never seen so much blood, filth, flesh. Now I understand the expression ‘blood-drunk’.”
Many such cases.

We don’t know. Are plans being made for a magnificent sarcophagus? Something like the huge, elaborate one he imagined for Charlie Kirk? Not that I know of. When will be the day of his death? I don’t know, but his Creator has already appointed the day and the hour.
Will his funeral be meaningful, theologically? With Christian theology? I don’t know that either.
But I have been impressed with the funeral of one great nobleman who died 25 years ago at age 99, buried in Austria. His final resting place was not elaborate, but significant. It was in the crypt of a Capuchin church, the place where his royal ancestors, monarchs of a vast, 600-year-old empire, had been entombed for centuries. The crypt was locked and guarded by Capuchin friars.
Prince Otto von Habsburg, born in 1912, would have been the next in line as king of that empire, but Hitler invaded Austria and ordered the arrest and murder of the prince, who escaped into Europe and played a leading role in world affairs for ...
First, ivermectin appears to target cancer stem cells—the small, highly resistant population of cells that drive recurrence and metastasis. Most conventional therapies fail to eliminate these cells. You can shrink a tumor, but if the stem cells remain, the cancer often comes back. Laboratory data suggest ivermectin disrupts this root system.
Second, mebendazole interferes with microtubule formation, which is essential for cell division. When you disrupt microtubules, cancer cells lose their ability to replicate effectively. This creates a direct anti-proliferative effect.
Third, mebendazole also impacts tumor metabolism, particularly glucose utilization. Cancer cells are heavily dependent on glucose to fuel rapid growth. Limiting that pathway places them under significant metabolic stress.

In about ten hours the polls in Hungary open. Then, over the next 13 hours Hungarians will decide if they want a culture of life or a culture of death and slavery. Those stakes affect not just one nation, and not just one continent but the entire Western world.
If elected again, the current government of Viktor Orban will continue boldly down the path which will honor Christian Hungary’s thousand-year legacy of fighting for freedom. Orban will continue unashamedly to champion the case for a painstaking return to a European Christendom. He is setting the example of how that can be done, even in a land oppressed by decades by communism.
The alternative candidate is a feckless puppet of the popular globalist agenda, which will then sweep over Hungary like a storm, destroying Hungary’s progress, sovereignty, economy, freedom of speech and courageous governmental reforms. But most threatening of all is the plan to invalidate and annihilate all of Orban’s efforts to remind Hungary of ...
