John has weighed in on those guys and confirmed they are really just leftist oriented weaklings and it just seems to be confirmed over and over again. As they say, no surprise, physiognomy does turn out to be quite informative in nearly all cases.

Decades ago we considered S&H as leaning conservative. They had discovered a mechanism which created what was best in America and advocated the cycles and in particular the crisis as how kings, slavery and isolationism were rejected. Then I pointed out how these were progressive ideas at the time, how they were all done to solve the major problems confronting the culture, that those who wished to continue the existing power structure unchanged lost. At least Strauss then started emphasizing the perils and problems of a crisis. Finding themselves siding with the progressive faction, with change, was unnatural.

To be conservative would mean advocating against solving today's problems, not necessarily being in favor of the kings, slavery and isolationism of the far past. S&H applauded the progressive ideas of the past, but did not clearly side with solving the culture's present problems. Even on this site, there is little to no advocating kings, being on the colonial side of colonial imperialism, slavery, and isolationism.

Over the years I did encounter one true cross crisis conservative. He favored the Stuart Dynasty as being the rightful leaders of civilization. Experimental newer theories such as democracy, human rights, communism, capitalism and colonial imperialism were all bad. To some degree he had a point.

Turkey is to expel the US ambassador following a diplomatic row over an imprisoned dissident. Turkey is also to expel the ambassadors of Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and New Zealand over the same issue.

** 23-Oct-2021 World View: Myanmar/Burma situation

The situation in Myanmar (Burma) has the potential to become pretty
significant.

A major war in Burma could spill over into China, Thailand and India.

If the buildup of troops and weapons really does lead to a mass
slaughter, it will illustrate the concept of a mass buildup by China
just prior to an invasion of Taiwan.

BTW, A mass buildup of troops prior to armed conflict is the definition of a "Rumor of War". ("Rumor" is not "whisperings" of maybe a war going on somewhere, but rather the mobilization or buildup of troops in preparation of an invasion or other operation).

See Matthew 24:6 for usage of this phrase.

I tend to shy away from talking about the religious implications of current events, as this is John's main discussion page.

However, a number of people have been asking me questions along these lines, so I would like to ask John to set up another thread for me, maybe in the Coming Storms topic area, for me to go into such things.

Yes, I'd be happy to do that for you. What would you like to call it?

But you can do it yourself, if you want, as any registered member
can. Just click on "Preparing for the Coming Storms," and then
click on the "New Topic" button.

Yes, Navigator, please do this.

Thanks John. I will do that. I'll Just Call it "Religion/End Times" or something like that

I have gone ahead and created the new threads. They are to be found in the "Preparation for the Coming Storms" section of the Board Index. That is the "Spotlight" section at the top of the Board index.

On thread is titled "Religion / Theology", while the other, covering a more specific topic is "Religion / End Times".
