This powerful song imagines an alternate history where Rome transcended conquest to become a beacon of enlightenment—spreading philosophy instead of war, guiding humanity's spiritual evolution. But the soaring vision collapses into melancholy as the dream shatters: broken columns and silent halls replace the golden empire.

What emerges is a poignant lament for "what could have been"—the Rome that could have been humanity's crucible for rebirth, now just a ghost. Yet hope flickers: though empires fall, the dream of a golden age burns eternal in human hearts.

Empires and Revolutions

Original

Empires

Fr Patrick Ramsey explores the emergence of a totalitarian global empire, drawing parallels to biblical prophecies. Advancements in technology enable centralized control, with examples like "15-minute cities" and COVID passports cited as precursors to global governance. A major world crisis or war is anticipated to trigger the Antichrist's rise as a savior, restoring order amid chaos, with current global conflicts identified as potential catalysts. The conversation also delves into the increasing secularization and breakdown of traditional religious practices, particularly within Christianity, attributing it to a shift towards humanistic unity over doctrinal truth. It further examines the historical role of empires and the current "Pax Americana," distinguishing them from the prophesied global government, and posits that the weakening of powerful nations could accelerate worldwide conflict. Fr Ramsey also comments on Israel. Finally, the discussion underscores the importance of individual resistance, a "martyr mentality," and touches on the ideal relationship between church and state.

Fr Patrick Ramsey: Orthodox Views on Empire, Antichrist, & Martyr Mentality #558

Darth Vader actor David Prowse spoiled The Empire Strikes Back’s biggest surprise, two years before the film premiered in theaters.  

So why was he just as shocked as the rest of the audience to hear his character utter those five iconic words on opening night?

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, join host David Quinn as he revisits the story of how Star Wars’ greatest twist remained a secret known to only a handful of people during the making of the film.  

Learn how the twist was devised, who knew about it, and how it became one of the all-time moments in one of the best films in cinema history.  

And find out why some Star Wars fans were discussing the twist at length as far back as 1978!  

This is truly an epic, wild tale you’ll have to hear to believe.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

About Meeuwis Baaijen
Meeuwis T. Baaijen (1952) was born and brought up in simple-life rural Holland, where he developed strong ties with nature. As a veterinarian and later also entrepreneur, he worked in 7 countries on 4 continents, which allowed him a direct experience with different cultures, political systems, languages, and above all, people. His international background served him well when he decided to dig deep into global history, to write his first book, The Predators (and its six translations).

After 50 years as an atheist, this study convinced him that the Enlightenment was in fact an Endarkenment, to alienate us from Nature and the Universe, from which we derive our power to move mountains.

what is love - v bozeman (cover by ruhama honey)

Michael Every of Rabobank discusses the evolving global financial and geopolitical landscape. He explores the potential transformation of the dollar system from one based on financialization to one focused on industrial production, possibly involving Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and dollar stablecoins, with the aim of reducing inequality both within and between countries. The conversation also touches on the concept of multipolarity and the emergence of regional blocs, while questioning whether any alternative currency or system can truly replace the dollar's global acceptance. He examines the potential for military conflict in this great interregnum period and explains neo-mercantilism as the key takeaway.

Lyrics;
Make me a melody White Wolf
Make me sure 
Remind me I'm the animal 
Who fights on for the Dawn  
I think we're fading White Wolf 
Lost outdoors 
We give our lives to growling slights 
It's lonely like you warned 
So I’ll be leaving White Wolf   
I can’t stay 
Are there others who hear thunder rolling in 
And fight on in the rain 

Make me a remedy White Wolf 
I've grown tame 
I barely know the animal 
That gathers around a flame 
I think wе're raving White Wolf 
Becoming raw 
Wе give our lives to fight for lines 
Someone else has drawn 
And yet this feeling White Wolf 
Breaking day 
And the others who hear thunder rolling in 
And waltz out in the rain 

Would you lead me out White Wolf 
The way was lost 
Trees cut soil turned 
The things they made will rust 
Is it me am I the enemy White Wolf 
Fallen child 
I abandoned the animal 
I’m like a stranger in the wild 

Slow down 
We don’t have long 
‘til we're the river and the rain 
A curling wave 
You’ll be a melody young one 
A newborn sword 
But for now you are the animal 
Who fights on for the Dawn 

White Wolf V2
