    Jeserich doesn't seem to have the big picture that Trotsky was the one seeking communist expansion while USSR was inadvertently forced into Eastern Europe expansion as a result of North Atlantic - Churchill posturing in 1944 Moscow with Stalin. The two Pope Pious' inadvertently made 'Communist - Russia' the higher priority on the Christian Enemy List, than NAZIsm. And of course Hitler the Austrian crypto-Jew made the perfect puppet for the new rich industrialists like Henry Ford to the old Krupp Fam of WWI fame. Hitlers henchmen worked, and signed agreements with Zionist's in occupied Palestine as Hitler diverted attention to 'just' aquiring the Sudetanland.

    Dr. Levine may have excelled at his earlier biographical efforts, but he fell perilously short on Thaddeus Stevens. The key, that he apparently chose to ignore, is Stevens' mixed-partner for 25 years in Lancaster PA and Washington, DC., Lydia Hamilton Smith. Penn State Press published my biography of Mrs. Smith, An Uncommon Woma: The Life of Lydia Hamilton Smith in 2023. In it, I document the committed, loving, inspiring relationship the two maintained in the mid-19th century, in the face of vicious condemnation from white supremacists in the North and South. I sent a copy of my book with an extensive explanation of what my research shows to Dr. Levine, and he refused to accept it. (I'd be happy to send you one, too, in the interest of furthering the whole, true, inspiring story of these two great Americans.) In my book, I do share information I found revealing Stevens' inner life, including how deeply he loved and respected Lydia Hamilton Smith and his understandings of religion and morality. Thank you for your fine series. I would be happy to chat with you about this inspiring pair, or , debate Dr. Levine over his summary dismissal of Mrs. Smith in his biography of Stevens with: she was just his housekeeper, strictly a professional relationship. To deny her role in his life is to stunt the impact of the brave life they lived together, setting the example for what a color-blind society, embracing racial equality, could look like.

    This only shows the era of "Revolutions" (the US revolution 1776, French Revolution 1780s...) were NOT revolutions....they were internal squabbles, but did not emancipate people of color. The french revolution gets so much hype, voltaire etc....but Toussaint knew the truth!

    Excellent, excellent overview of post-Civil War reconstruction era US polity, colonialism, racism, Native American genocide, class conflict, Supreme Court injustice, unregulated capitalism, and plantation economics extending to new annexed territories abroad. I studied in high school history in Sydney the US Civil War in enormous depth for an entire year in modern history. Always have been under-aware regarding the 1865 to 1910 period. Thank you to you both!

    And the sea gave up the dead which were in it: and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged everyman according to his works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Your not just going to hell Bart, your not worried about hell alone people, eternal damnation is not in hell. It's much worse than that. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

  • @APracticingGamer
    @APracticingGamer 12 днів тому

    It also speaks about this concept in the book of job. The future gospel written I believe more than 500 years after the book of isaiah uses the same words, in fact its the words of jesus. The book of isaiah proceed many things, like the birth of John the Baptist, the voice crying in the wilderness. Bart is a complete fraud. It also in the book of revelation specifically states that hell will be cast into the lake of fire. I don't think anyone here actually understands this. Then you sit and deny an eternal, all knowing, omniscient being, while being finite, unknowing, and singular in place. Something cannot happen out of nothing. There is a massive amount of physical evidence that you can pick up and hold in your hands today that proves the undeniable truth of the old and new testament. And there really is nothing that you can pick up and hold in your hands that states otherwise. Some people claim there is but they are just lying to you. The moabite stone, hezekiahs tunnel, abrahams alter, the Taylor inscription, the records of the God of the Israelites in ancient Egypt, Sodom and Gomorrah, the babylonian ration tablets, the silver scroll that is older than the dead sea scrolls which has written on it a part of the priestly benediction of the book of numbers. Christianity is the true religion of the jews what you see today is a fake religion created by wicked jews who departed from the lord. Who is the ancient of days, why does the son of man go to the ancient of days where he is given dominion over all the universe. All old testament. Who is melchizedek. None of you know what your talking about true Israelites believed in the holy trinity and always have, Jesus said before abraham was, I am. I heard all the bs, all the flood bs about gilgamesh and many others, all the bs from Irving finkel, who is clearly babbling idiot. Have you seen Joshua's alter, the tomb of Lazarus, Jacob's well, the tomb of jesus, the churches built by constantine. Have you heard of the praying man of fez. Again Bart is an idiot.

    Unfortunately - he is not fully correct in his knowledge of Israel - and makes a few serious mistakes - for example - the serious story of who are the indigenous people of the land of Israel - and he makes the tragic mistake to ignore the fact that the Jews are the only indigenous people of the land. There never was a Palestinian people!

    The American south was just the next frontier in which to spread good Christian virtue. After that came the west, and after that, the rest. The north east white Anglo-Saxon protestant establishment has always ruled America. They have gone blue or at least purple in recent decades as their evangelical cousins in the south have gone the other way. But when the New England WASPs were Republicans they ruled America uncontested. Their latest conquest was spreading wasp colonization theory via DEI, which came out of the northeast.
