IRAN EXPANDS WAR

 IRAN TAUNTS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND ISRAEL BY ATTACKING GULF STATES 

Iran has engaged in an escalating series of what should be seen as “tit-for-tat” attacks in the region. The latest attacks in Kuwait raised concerns that Iran feels it can attack wherever it wants. Iran claims it is merely retaliating for US attacks.

Iran announced that “the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced that the headquarters of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet was targeted in a missile and drone operation carried out by the IRGC Aerospace Force.”

Iran claimed this is “conducted in response to a series of US military attacks.” Apparently, the US struck an Iranian oil tanker to prevent the ship from moving through the Strait of Hormuz. “In retaliation, the IRGC said its naval forces launched missiles at a vessel identified as MSC Panaya, which it described as being affiliated with US and Israeli interests.”

Mixed fleet proposal: Ottawa is weighing keeping 30 F-35s while adding about 60 Saab Gripens, replacing its original all-F-35 plan.

Strategic motivations: The shift aims to reduce dependence on U.S. suppliers, control costs, and expand domestic aerospace manufacturing.

Decision timeline: An announcement is expected after U.S. elections in November 2026, following a review launched in 2025.

CBS News Fires Scott Pelley of ‘60 Minutes’ - The New York Times

CBS News fired Scott Pelley on Tuesday, jettisoning one of the network’s best-known journalists in a clash over the future of “60 Minutes,” the country’s top-rated news program.

Mr. Pelley, 68, a “60 Minutes” correspondent and a former anchor of “CBS Evening News,” joined the network in 1989. At a staff meeting on Monday, he accused the network’s editor in chief, Bari Weiss, of “murdering ‘60 Minutes,’” citing the ouster last week of the program’s leadership team and two on-air correspondents.

“We have parted ways with Scott Pelley,” Nick Bilton, the tech journalist who was hired last week as the new “60 Minutes” executive producer, wrote in a memo to the show’s staff on Tuesday night.

CBS News declined to comment. In a formal letter to Mr. Pelley, which was obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Bilton wrote that the correspondent had been “terminated for cause effective immediately.”

Canada is caught in a population trap By Stéfane Marion and Alexandra Ducharme January 15, 2024

Population trap: A situation where no increase in living standards is possible, because the population is growing so fast that all available savings are needed to maintain the existing capital labour ratio Oxford Reference The debate on the viability of our current immigration policy is intensifying in Canada. Finance Minister Freeland recently stated growth at a time when all of the industrialized countries in the world are facing huge demographics challenges.. 1We agree that immigration is good for our potential GDP, but all good things have their limits. Is it possible that the economic capacity to Keep in mind that Canada's population increased by more than 1.2 million in 2023, an incredible number given that it followed a rebound of 825,000 in 2022 after the Covid recession. These are staggering numbers when you consider that prior to this, you would have to go back to 1949, when Newfoundland joined the federation, to see our country's population increase by more than 600,000 in one year

Everything Is Economics

 America needs more Lebensraum Carrying Capacity in Economic Demography

That is why Trump wants Greenland.  And if America is at war, he stays in office as all elections are suspended soooooooooo noooooooo IMPEACHMENT LOL 

Why Trump & America Need / Want Greenland

 Ever hear of capacity?  USA is too big for its size atm and needs more space which is why it needs, not wants, Greenland, or even CANADA.

Introduction to Carrying Capacity

The concept of carrying capacity has been a cornerstone in the fields of ecology, economics, and demography for centuries. It refers to the maximum population size that an environment can sustain indefinitely given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment. Understanding carrying capacity is crucial for analyzing the intricate relationships between population dynamics, economic development, and environmental sustainability.

Definition and Concept of Carrying Capacity

Carrying capacity is defined as the maximum number of individuals of a species that can be supported by the available resources in a given environment. In the context of human populations, it encompasses not only the biological needs but also the societal and economic requirements for a decent standard of living.

Historical Context and Evolution of the Concept

The concept of carrying capacity has its roots in the works of Thomas Malthus, who in 1798 published "An Essay on the Principle of Population," arguing that population growth tends to outstrip food supply, leading to poverty and famine unless checked by social or moral restraints[^1](https://www.britannica.com/topic/An-Essay-on-the-Principle-of-Population). Over time, the concept has evolved to incorporate technological advancements, institutional factors, and environmental considerations.

Importance of Carrying Capacity in Economic Demography

Carrying capacity plays a pivotal role in economic demography as it directly influences population growth rates, economic development trajectories, and the sustainability of natural resources. Understanding the carrying capacity of a region or country can help policymakers devise strategies to manage population growth, allocate resources efficiently, and mitigate environmental degradation.

What About A STANDARD deFACTO World Currency ASAP

Given and in light of the irrational instability of Ukraine and LA Fires and/or the TRUMP "Presidency", plus Weird Vladimir PUTIN, the silent scary Chinese and COVID ... it's waaaayyyyy overdue time to replace GOLD with a standard World Currency (maybe platinum Bars and PLATINUM UBIQUITOUS coins... something tangible and borderless....) that is slid and tangible in a material way (not paper bills):

A world currency is a currency that is widely accepted for international trade, held as a reserve by multiple countries, and used beyond its country of origin.

Definition and Function

A world currency serves as a medium of exchange not only within its home country but also internationally. It is used in global trade, investment, and finance, allowing countries to conduct transactions without converting to local currencies each time. Such currencies are often held in foreign exchange reserves by central banks to stabilize their own economies and facilitate international payments Worlddata.info+1.

Examples of World Currencies

  • U.S. Dollar (USD): The most dominant world currency, widely used in global trade and accounting for a significant share of foreign exchange reserves and daily transactions Countries of the world.
  • Euro (EUR): Used by 19 EU member states and several other territories, making it the second-most traded and held reserve currency globally Wikipedia+1.
  • Other notable currencies: British Pound Sterling (GBP), Japanese Yen (JPY), and increasingly the Chinese Renminbi (CNY) are also used internationally to varying degrees Worlddata.info.

Characteristics

  1. Global Acceptance: Can be used for trade and investment across multiple countries.
  2. Reserve Currency Status: Held by central banks to support their own currency and manage economic stability.
  3. Stability and Trust: Typically issued by economically strong and politically stable countries.
  4. Liquidity: Easily exchanged in global financial markets without significant loss of value WorldAtlas+1.

Importance

World currencies simplify international trade, reduce transaction costs, and provide a benchmark for pricing commodities like oil and gold. They also allow countries to maintain foreign currency reserves, which are crucial for managing exchange rates, paying debts, and responding to economic crises WorldAtlas+1.
In summary, a world currency is more than just money; it is a key instrument in the global financial system, facilitating trade, investment, and economic stability across nations.

“The fact remains that Palestnians have no means t ensure their survival or to protect their loved ones, with hundreds killed since the announcement of a ceasefire,” Mr. Sunghay said.

“The Israeli military has killed 72,769 Palestinians since 7 October 2023 in Gaza: in their homes, in IDP shelters, in hospitals, in schools, in places of worship, on the streets, while queuing for aid, while trying to fish in the sea.”

JEWS KILLED CHRIST - & RUINED MEL GIBSON

 EVER HEAR OF MEL GIBSON SINCE HIS EPIC GENIUS BRILLIAN PASSION OF  THE CHRIST?  NOPE....

JEWS SNUFFED HIS CAREER The Passion of the Christ is a 2004 American epic biblical drama film co-produced and directed by Mel Gibson from a screenplay he wrote with Benedict Fitzgerald. It is the first installment of The Passion of the Christ film series. The film stars Jim Caviezel as Jesus, Maia Morgenstern as his mother Mary, and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene. It depicts the arrest, trial and crucifixion of Jesus, largely according to the canonical gospels as well as additional accounts such as the purported mystical visions by Anne Catherine Emmerich and the Friday of Sorrows.[3][4][5][6]

The film primarily covers the final twelve hours before Jesus Christ's death, known as "the Passion". It begins with the Agony in the Garden of Olives (i.e., Gethsemane), continues with the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, the Flagellation of Christ, the suffering of Mary as prophesied by Simeon, the crucifixion and death of Jesus, and ends with a brief depiction of his resurrection. The narrative is interspersed with moments in Jesus's life, such as the Last Supper and the Sermon on the Mount, and moments of Jesus' early life. The film was mostly shot in Italy.[7] The dialogue is entirely in reconstructed Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin. Although Gibson was initially against it, the film is subtitled.

The Passion of the Christ was released by Newmarket Films on February 25, 2004. The film was controversial and received polarized reviews; some critics called the film a religious and holy experience, praising the performances, direction, production values, and John Debney's score, while some found it antisemitic and the violence extreme. The film grossed $612.1 million worldwide against a $30 million budget,[8] and became the fifth highest-grossing film of 2004 internationally at the end of its theatrical run.[2] It is the highest-grossing Christian film of all time (inflation unadjusted), as well as the highest-grossing independent film of all time.[9][10] It was the highest-grossing R-rated film in the US, at $370.8 million, a record which remained unbroken for 20 years.[11][12] It received three nominations at the 77th Academy Awards in 2005, for Best Makeup, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score.[13] Two sequels, The Resurrection of the Christ: Part One and Part Two, are due to be released in 2027 and 2028, with a new cast.

Plot

On the night of Passover, Jesus prays in Gethsemane, asking for his father to protect him as his followers Peter, James and John fall asleep. After Jesus rebukes Satan for tempting him to escape his fate, another of his followers, Judas Iscariot, having been bribed by Caiaphas and the Pharisees with thirty pieces of silver, leads temple guards to the garden and betrays Jesus' identity. The guards arrest Jesus and beat him on the way to the Sanhedrin. John informs Jesus' mother, Mary, and Mary Magdalene of the arrest, and they reunite with Peter, who has followed Jesus and his captors.

Caiaphas tries Jesus, where false accusations are made against him, while Pharisees who secretly support Jesus and object to the trial are expelled from the court. Jesus claims he is the divine Son of Man, causing Caiaphas to angrily condemn him to death for blasphemy. As Jesus is brutally beaten, Peter is confronted by the mob and he denies being a follower of Jesus; remembering Jesus precisely predicted this, he weeps bitterly. Guilt-ridden, Judas attempts to return the money to have Jesus freed, but is refused by the priests. Haunted by demons in the form of children, Judas hangs himself outside Jerusalem.

JEWS KILLED JESUS - NEVER 4GET

THE JEWS KILLED CHRIST - NEVER 4GET 

And so now, after the Holocaust, many anxious Christians, trying to be more sensitive, answer the question with a different facile assertion: that the Romans killed Jesus. But of course that assertion doesn’t really make sense, either. It’s not as though the Jewish people of Jerusalem stood by powerless while the Romans did their business. They were there.

So were we all.

Not literally, of course. But this week isn’t just about the literal; it’s about truth. And I think on this question our hymns and our poetry and our art so often get it right when our histories miss the point: We killed Jesus. You and me. Not the Romans. Not the Jews. Not any other group that we can think of that keeps us at a safe distance. We did it.

I think that is, front and center, the challenge and the gift of Holy Week. We have to confront what we’ve done and who we are. This isn’t an exercise is self-pity or moralism, as if every time you tell a little lie, you’re killing Jesus, or every time you disobey your mother, you’re killing Jesus. That’s not the point. The point is that we are part of that crowd of people who don’t really know what they’re doing, who find themselves doing something together that no one would have really thought to do on their own, who find themselves full of contradictions and emotions they don’t understand, who move almost without thought from singing praise to shouting hate, from worship to murder.

That, friends, is us, whether we acknowledge it or not. I’ve seen it in myself, over and over again, in the ways that my temper will flare up at something stupid and I find myself cursing under my breath at people I love more than anything in the world. I see it in my children, who can go from sweet, playful innocence in one moment to cruelty in the next. Lord knows that it appears in the confessional, where otherwise good people find themselves falling into sin. This is who we are.

Going through the work of Holy Week—and, let’s be honest, it is work—is like looking in a mirror, a brutally honest mirror that will show us everything that we never wanted to see about ourselves. It’s not meant to be fun. But it is meant to be good. Because although the Church shows us everything that we never wanted to see, it also shows us everything that we never dared to hope: how all of the worst things about ourselves, like our capacity to kill God, can become the very best things—how God in his grace and mercy and love can make us beautiful.

JEWS KILLED CHRIST / JESUS - NEVER 4-GET

NEVER FORGET THAT THE JEWS KILLED CHRIST - ORIGINALLY A JEW BUT WHO ULTIMATELY  FOUND THE WAY THROUGH A DIVING HIGHER-POWER CONNECTION TO GOD AND FOUNDED CHRISTIANITY ... Who Killed Jesus: The Romans or the Jews? | Catholic Answers Magazine

Listen to the audio version of this content

“But they shouted all the more, ‘Let him be crucified.’”

Who killed Jesus? One of the great sins of Christian people in history has been the facile assertion that Jesus was killed by the Jews. This made Christians in the Middle Ages, and not a few modern Catholics, feel good about themselves because they were not the “Christ-killers.” But of course the assertion doesn’t really make sense. Jesus was, after all, a Jew—a fact that I know can come as a shock to so many of those people I still meet from time to time who think they must know everything about the faith because they “went to Catholic school.” And the people actually putting him to death, in all four of the Gospels, are the Roman authorities, led by Pontius Pilate.

An emboldened Justice Department with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche at the helm is ramping up efforts to investigate and prosecute President Trump’s perceived enemies.

More than four dozen people have found themselves in the president’s crosshairs since he returned to office for a second term. While most of the threats Trump has made on social media and in public comments haven’t led to prosecutions, some have translated into criminal cases or investigations. None of these cases have yet resulted in a conviction.
