@lemonde Isn't it about time the real #reason behind the #war in #Ukraine? The giant, #top-secret #underground #American #military #base conveniently built near #Ukraine’s old #army #complex. The one loaded with #directed #energy #weapons, #acoustic #cannons, and enough tech to #mess with #Kremlin — and pretty much all of #Northern #Europe. And let’s face it, even the #Pope isn’t hiding it anymore, now that the #Church's #spiritual #power has gone #offline like a #Vatican Wi-Fi outage .

Le Vatican a été exclu de la liste des droits de douane par Trump, alors que l'Italie est soumise au taux de 20 % de l'UE. C'est le moment d'enfiler une chasuble les amis! Ca me rappelle le super animé "Popetown" que je regardais en rentrant du lycée sur MCM Avec des cardinaux corrompus et un pape psychopathe. "Pecunia non olet", l'argent n'a pas d'odeur... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfhDUYifiIw

A new essay examines two views on Christian origins, suggesting that early Christian belief in Jesus' resurrection predates the Jewish-Roman War, supporting the historical credibility of the Gospels. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/03/30/world/the-jesus-of-history/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #jesus #religion #vatican #christianity #catholicchurch

#TheCompoChallenge is ending soon, and this is the hardest week so far. I don’t think I’ve ever even considered the Spiral of Doom!
