  Sextus Empiricus

  Throughout history philosophers have sought to define, understand, and delineate concepts important to human well-being. One such concept is knowledge. Many philosophers believed that absolute, certain knowledge, is possible—that the physical world and ideas formulated about it could be given solid foundation unaffected by the varieties of mere opinion. 
   
  Sextus Empiricus stands as an example of the skeptic school of thought whose members believed that knowledge was either unattainable or, if a genuine possibility, the conditions necessary to achieve it were next to impossible to satisfy. In other words, in the absence of complete knowledge, one must make do with the information provided by an imperfect world and conveyed to the mind through sense impressions that can often deceive us. Throughout his life Sextus Empiricus entered into intellectual combat with those who confidently claimed to possess indubitable knowledge. For skeptics, the best one can hope to achieve is a reasonable suspension of judgment—remaining ever mindful that claims to knowledge require careful scrutiny, thoughtful analysis, and critical review if we are to prevent ourselves and others from plunging headlong into mistaken notions.

  Aboriginal Australia represents one of the world’s oldest continuous cultures, with a history that spans over 65,000 years. The Aboriginal peoples of Australia have a deep connection to the land, having lived across the continent for millennia, developing diverse societies, languages, and spiritual beliefs. This rich cultural heritage reflects an extraordinary resilience, as Aboriginal communities have adapted to a wide range of environments, from the arid deserts to lush rainforests. 
  The term "Aboriginal" refers to the diverse Indigenous groups that inhabit Australia, each with their own unique customs, languages, and traditions. There are over 250 distinct language groups, with their own dialects and systems of social organization. These communities have historically been hunter-gatherers, using sophisticated methods of land management, such as controlled fire-stick farming, to ensure the sustainability of their environment. The interconnectedness of land, culture, and spirituality is central to Aboriginal identity, where the landscape itself holds profound cultural significance. The concept of “Country” goes beyond mere geography—it is a living, breathing entity with deep spiritual meaning.

  Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom (April 15, 1892 - April 15, 1983) was a Dutch watchmaker who worked with her father Casper and other family members to help, reportedly, 800 Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in their home. Eventually, the family was caught, and ten Boom was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, but released after ten months due to a clerical error. Later in life, ten Boom wrote, "The Hiding Place," a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she was able to find hope while imprisoned at the concentration camp. It was later made in to a movie. The following is part one of a speech ten Boom gave called, Authority Over Demons.

  The People Who Own the World -...

  Power has always been a driving force behind the world's greatest shifts, shaping nations, economies, and cultures. While political leaders and public figures often take the spotlight, true power often lies in the hands of those who operate behind the scenes. These individuals, families, and organizations wield influence not through democratic processes, but through wealth, strategic connections, and the ability to manipulate societal frameworks. Understanding this hidden power structure is crucial to grasping how the world truly functions. 
    
  Wealth has long been a powerful tool for control, enabling elites to shape policies, industries, and even social norms. Financial empires built by powerful banking families, corporate giants, and investment firms have grown to dominate global economies. Their influence extends far beyond Wall Street or corporate boardrooms — it reaches into political systems, media narratives, and cultural trends. Those with the greatest financial resources have the capacity to mold the world to their advantage, often with little public awareness. 
    
  Secret societies, elite networks, and exclusive organizations further strengthen these power structures. Groups like the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and other closed-door forums provide platforms for powerful individuals to collaborate and strategize. While their intentions may vary, these groups foster an environment where a select few can guide global agendas without public scrutiny. This covert decision-making shapes economic trends, diplomatic relations, and social movements in ways that are difficult to trace.
