We double check our own sources while comparing and contrasting their accuracy and whether or not they are interesting. We also triple check their socio-political leanings. If we make a mistake in any of our articles, we will fix it and apologise. In short, Let it be factual but never liable. Be Kind - but also be HONEST, hard and to the point.

Note, once again, that this is where WE, The Source, would once again, like to sit. Note also the overall differences between this image and the previous. Determining where exactly each news outlet sits in a chart like this is fairly subjective. If I, the editor, for example, lean to the far right, I'm more inclined to rearrange this chart is such a way that MY outlet actually seems quite mild. And vice versa.

I use Q-Bittorent because it is open source. With BitTorrent and U-Torrent it is rumoured that they use your computers CPU and/or GPU to mine crypto-currency ( which hogs your computer's resources ( and that's how they make a buck ) - you can <a href="https://qbittorrent.en.softonic.com/" rel="nofollow" style="--link-color-active: rgb(113, 179, 234) !important; --link-color-hover: rgb(144, 196, 238) !important; --link-color: rgb(117, 182, 234) !important; --original-background-color: body-trans; --original-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); --visited-color-active: rgb(157, 113, 234) !important; --visited-color-hover: rgb(179, 144, 238) !important; --visited-color: rgb(160, 117, 234) !important;" target="_blank"><b style="--original-background-color: body-trans; --original-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); --visited-color-active: rgb(157, 113, 234) !important; --visited-color-hover: rgb(179, 144, 238) !important; --visited-color: rgb(160, 117, 234) !important;"><i style="--original-background-color: body-trans; --original-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); --visited-color-active: rgb(157, 113, 234) !important; --visited-color-hover: rgb(179, 144, 238) !important; --visited-color: rgb(160, 117, 234) !important;">download Q-Bittorent by clicking here</i></b></a>.</span></div><span style="--original-background-color: body-trans; --original-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br style="--original-background-color: body-trans; --original-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" /><div style="--original-background-color: body-trans; --original-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;">Once you have installed Q-Bittorent, you can then go to one of many torrent websites to go look for movies, games, audiobooks, software - whatever you want! I have always used The Pirate Bay if only for its lack of pop-ups, ads and other assorted types of annoying BS. Not only that, I use it for its ease of use and navigability. Please also understand that torrent clients usually have an almost identical user interface. This is a good thing because I can now let Privacy King from YouTube take it from here! Please pay attention - torrenting is NOT hard and once you've learned how, almost any kind of movie, book ( audio or otherwise ) game is YOURS.

Every republican senator knows, deep down, that Trumps hand was in the cookie jar. This is why when the impeachment against Trump goes to the senate, it will end there. The Republicans have the majority and if any cross the floor, they'll be running as independents at their next attempt at government! The worst it can do to Trump is perhaps sway next year's elections. Perhaps. </div>

Shall we call him Teflon Don? After all, nothing seems to stick. Yet this is what unchecked ( but not unchallenged ) quid-pro-quo brings us - a dark age of nationalist, jingoistic cronyism. And already we see the world starting to break up into the domains of petty little warlords - especially after the bitchy little jibe session during Trump's public press meeting with President Macron yesterday. What a kinder-surprise that turned into.... Personally, I don't think Trump ever forgave Macron for that patronising pat on the knee at another press meeting last year .....<br />

Were it me and could not escape? Well, luckily, I donāt work in a job that requires the kind of questioning, critical truthfulness a journalist has, because, if I remember rightly, in one episode, Offred ( June ) is hiding in what seems to have been a newspaper or publishing house. There had been executions in the basement. The entire staff for all appearances. This obviously meant that journalists, intellectuals and the like were either killed or sent to the colonies. So, ol' Davey here would've kept his head down and paid lip service to the regime, eg, āBlessed beā etc.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having moved in christian circles, I speak the rhetoric fluently and know my Bible fairly well. I would certainly be able to blend in. However, The Sons of Jacob are about as far removed from Christianity as chickens are from eagles. Moreover, I hold an unpopular belief ( among fundamentalists ) that faith is something that should not and cannot be legislated. However, the Sons of Jacob donāt abide by the notion of any kind of personal relationship with God; rather, they seek to impose Old Testament law to the letter. Moreover, Jesus Christ and His teachings of love and tolerance, in the nation of Gilead, barely rate a mention.</div>

But here lies the crux. Would I hide those trying to flee, in my basement, at great risk to myself or my family? Would I pass that package along knowing full well that if I were caught, I would be tortured and/or hung? True shame should not only reside with the regime - shame should also sit with those who do nothing while their neighbours are made to disappear in the middle of the night. It sits with those who, by mere inaction, allow atrocity to take its course. I have said that,ā<i><b>I would like to think that ā¦.</b></i>ā a great deal. It's also the title of this article. Well, it's not mere tautology, I actually say this because I have never been tested this way. I live in a democracy and have never experienced my country being war-torn or under the iron fist of a dictatorship.<br />
<br />
Jesus Christ barely rates a mention in both the book and the TV series. This is because true Christianity cannot abide such a regime. The Sons of Jacob cherry pick from the Bible ( largely Old Testament law ) to suit themselves and their inane schemes much in the same way Daesh cherry pick from the Quran. Jesus doesnāt rate a mention because if He did, the organisation would crumble from within. This is also why, moreso in the book, that there is an insurgency from the Baptistās in the south - they are believers in Christ and the teachings of the New Testament.<br />
<br />
A very powerful example of how Christ had almost nothing to do with the Sons of Jacob resides in a poignant scene from the TV series where the handmaidās are ordered to stone to death one of their own. It was on the tips of the tongueās of Christians and non Christians alike, āā¦. let he who has not sinned, cast the first stone.ā ( John 8.7 ) yet it was never said ā¦. this in itself is a testament to the fact that the Sons of Jacob are as much Christian as Daesh is to Islam. So, in summing up, having access to the strength and power of God, <i><b>I would like to think that</b></i> I would NEVER let the bastards grind me down.<br />

<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BbNCSYI-BOk" width="500"></iframe>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Denying the miraculous and asserting that God has been powerless and unwilling to help us out in any kind of supernatural way, for the past 2000 years, is heresy. That is one bush I cannot beat around. At all. Who is <i>anybody</i> to say that there has not been a miracle in 2000 years? To assert such a notion is blasphemy. Again, I cannot beat around this bush. There are no nice words. No excuses. No defence. Even the average run of the mill <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessationism" target="_blank">cessationist</a> would feel uncomfortable with old Todd on this occasion.</div>
<br />
There is of course, providence. That is to say, prayers getting answered, good things happening unexpectedly, but as for the blind seeing, the crippled walking - the whole issue of the laying on of hands, well, according to Todd, forget about it. Todd and his ilk are evangelizing this notion because they will tell you that the power of God was strictly reserved for Christ and his apostles. Only.<br />

Where they truly miss the point is the miraculous is far more subtle than cripples jumping out of wheelchairs or the blind suddenly being able to see. God can work through the hands of a scientist. For example, what we regarded 200 years ago as an inexplicable, crippling melancholy is today called clinical depression. The miracle ( and this isn't providence - this is miraculous combined with ingenuity ) is that in 1988, an organic chemist called Klaus Schmiegel, in collaboration with another scientist called Brian Molloy, developed the very first selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Otherwise known as Prozac. This one drug changed the lives of MILLIONS. People who simply could not function in society could suddenly leave the house. Hold down a job. Have a normal conversation .... experience joy. Love. Life. All those things that many of us take for granted. And this is but ONE example of the miraculous - the power and glory of God working through the minds and hands of simple, humble human beings.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The annoying part is that I actually quite liked Todd Friel and his podcasts. In spite of his relationship with John MacArthur ( sermons to slash your wrists by, especially if you're his pet hate, that is to say, charismatic holy rollers such as myself ). Moreover, after finding the aforementioned video, not only was I disappointed, I was also righteously infuriated. So much so that the following verse came to mind; <b>2 Timothy 3.5</b> "<i>Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.</i>" However, I thought I'd better check the context of this verse. Just as well I did;</div>
<br />
<i><b>2 Timothy 3: 3 - 6 "3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,<br />4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;<br />5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.<br />6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,"</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, I can hardly see old Todd creeping into houses and chasing silly women around - nor would I suggest that he is incontinent, after all, his bowel problems are not really our concern ( sorry, I could NOT resist ha ha ). Yet ... I cannot get this notion of such a blasphemous assertion out of my head. It's like chewing on tin foil.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, Todd has spent much of his life preaching the gospel on campuses around the U.S. Sure, he's obeying the great commission, doing his job, as we Christians are commanded to. I will give him THAT much. He has his routine, an act in which he tries, rather unsuccessfully, to be funny ... maybe one has to be an American to appreciate such humor. However, to me, Todd is now officially fair game. Sure, he has a radio show, a YouTube channel, a podcast, a studio, a blog - but who doesn't? Even Westboro Baptist Church can match him on that one. They ALSO preach the Gospel and their routine includes pretty multi-colored placards that have really nice things to say about people ...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Am I throwing the baby out with the bath water? No - and this is because his podcasts, more and more, simply reflect the kind of cultural Christianity ( see <a href="https://lonaf.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-heresy-of-jingoism.html" target="_blank">previous post</a> ) that has nothing better to do than rail on this or that group of people. Usually it's about those evil social justice types and how they are creeping into the church, corrupting it with new ideas about how we can actually help each other and do good things ...</div>

Please understand that I am the first to admit that some tubs of dirty bathwater actually come with healthy babies. For example, I have learned MUCH from William Barclay, whose daily devotionals pack more intellectual, educational, historic and spiritual punch than a thousand Friel's & MacArthur's ever could. He was one man who could walk you through the new testament, chapter by chapter, and actually teach you something. The dirty bathwater is that he had his own, controversial quirks which I will not go into in this post. ( I do promise, however, that as I construct this blog, I will provide reference to his devotional material ). I also have a lot of time for David Wilkerson - a name that would no doubt trigger John MacArthur's charis-phobic tendencies to the point of heart murmurs and hot flushes.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for Todd, however, he doesn't even come close. The journey was alright, but as I got to know him, well, the video I provided today was the straw that broke the camel's back. He does have a form of Godliness - but he has denied the power thereof. Yes there is providence. But there are also miracles and who do we think we are to limit God by refusing to acknowledge the miraculous? There ARE miracles. They DO happen.<br />
<br />
Finally, a shout-out and blessing to my friend Suzanne, who prayed me all the way back home, and, taught me that I can approach the throne of God WITHOUT having to apologise all the time.</div>

God loves the world. Not just YOUR country or YOUR leaders or YOUR government, but the <i><b>whole wide world</b></i>. This is what Jesus said, not only about the authorities of <i>His</i> age, but OURS as well. Indeed, all this ( <i>regardless</i> of how Godly or devilish, saintly or sinnerish, chosen or unchosen you may think your leaders are ) can be benchmarked according to this scripture;</div>

Yes, submit to the governing authorities, but only to the extent where you are not forced to sin. Render unto these authorities what are theirs. Your taxes, your civic duty - even your military duty if called upon. Other than that, the church has no place with nations, governments or their leaders. Remember, your citizenship is in heaven ( Philippians 3.20 ) and this is above and beyond that of any corruptible, earthly nation or kingdom. This is why we are to mind our own business and let governments, emperors and kings turn their own wheels and cogs. Here's another way of looking at it: John Pavlovitz writes;</div>

We are not called to be conservatives, right-wingers or alt-righters. Nor are we compelled to grind our axes by posting memes on social media about how righteous this person is or how ungodly that group of people are. Moreover, God never told us to set the world straight by endorsing a leader or a political party. Why? Because you are not endorsing HIM. Christ <i>never </i>intended for us to make placards and march for this cause or against that agenda. Indeed, nowhere in scripture are we to wear ANY of these things on our sleeves.<br />
<br />
Once we repent of our so-called 'social activism' all we are left with is the great commission:- to go into ALL the world and preach the gospel to ALL men; be they black, refugees, immigrants, gay, islamic, liberal - all groupings, all races, all creeds. Indeed, all the types of people that cultural, nationalist christianity tells you to rail on and isolate. They do not need to be confronted with how they are ruining your righteous notions of how a nation should be. They are to met with the Love of Christ and the good news of His gospel. That. Is. All.</div>

If your pastor or minister is telling you that you should vote for so-and-so because he/she is the only chosen and anointed one called to do so, ask yourself ( and your pastor if you think you have the courage ) this; "<i>Says WHO? Where in scripture or written on stone tablets does it say so-and-so must lead?</i>". Investigate this assertion - but be warned, you might find an agenda that is about as far removed from your faith as the North Pole is from the south.</div>

More and more, education is now regarded as a form of brainwashing. Journalists are increasingly accused of bias and being in cahoots with a vague secret society who have a mysterious tendency towards world domination and subjugation. The fatal side effect of this is, when challenged, the ignorant cry "<a href="https://lonaf.blogspot.com/p/tin-foil-hats.html">FAKE NEWS</a>". Of course, many people don't even understand the difference between opinion and simple news reporting. Most don't even realise that journalists are required to abide by a code of ethics. Indeed, it is more and more difficult to have a structured debate when even the most reliable sources one can cite are written off immediately as fake. I vehemently challenge this notion - go work in a newsroom of a major media outlet. Try and slip a fake story past an editor and just see how far you actually get. Try it. Moreover, people seem to forget that freedom of the press also means the freedom to print and publish an OPINION. In a newspaper, it is called an "Opinion Column" or an "Editorial".</div>

But it doesn't end there. The new, right wing "alt" media is now responsible for such cleverly articulated piffle that even Joseph Goebbels would rise from the dead for a peice of the action! Indeed, self proclaimed revolutionary organisations such as "Anonymous" spin thinly veiled, propagandistic nonsense by asserting ( one of many examples ) that Hillary Clinton had a secret agenda to impose a tyrannical regime in which all opposition were to be crowded into F.E.M.A. death camps. Not that Anon can or should be taken seriously. This is because there are many channels on YouTube and pages on Facebook that claim to be the actual mouthpiece of Anon, when in fact they are NOT. It doesn't take much reading and viewing to quickly realise that they are mostly independent, embittered reprobates who are in love with the sound of their own voices. All while grinding axes that either contradict each other and/or have nothing in common with the real world. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similarly, the self styled alt-media have lowered themselves even further by unabashedly regurgitating unchecked, anti-semitic rhetoric which has been loosely recycled from a much older tradition of hatred. The likes of which, once upon time, influenced both Hitler and Mussolini. Thus, the notion of an age old Jewish conspiracy to control world finance and contribute to a terrible new world order is once again being evangelised. The greatest tragedy of all is this that the fruit of these lies actually flared to a foul ripening, last week, with the shooting of 11 innocent people in a Pittsburg synagogue.</div>

There is little or no accountability for misinformation, and while social media today ( 2018 ) fights a losing battle ( <a href="https://anewkindofhuman.com/5-massive-alt-media-pages-deleted-in-facebooks-purge-what-we-can-expect-next/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>and to be fair, the "Free Thought Project" kind of had coming ... read about it here</b></a> ) to stop the proliferation of deceit, 2016 will forever remain a year that will go down in infamy. American jingoism ( with the help of mother Russia ) won an election that was largely determined by Facebook memes, false news reports, an email scandal and pizzagate. Indeed, one ridiculously false but glossy allegation asserted that Hillary Clinton was involved in a pedophile ring. While many were gob-smacked with disbelief, many more, ( namely, the <a href="https://lonaf.blogspot.com/p/tin-foil-hats.html">truly gullible</a> and <a href="https://lonaf.blogspot.com/p/tin-foil-hats.html">incredibly stupid</a> ) voted accordingly. Moreover, this remains on public record, for all to see. And it is too late - the damage is done. And these are only a couple of examples.</div>

To be clear and for the record, I personally did not like the woman. In MY opinion, she had the personality and charisma of a gnat. That being said, it still does NOT excuse the smear campaign - nor does it excuse the lack of integrity or fair play that all of the aforementioned shenanigans brought to bare!</div>

And now the world is stuck with Donald Trump, president elect and an unstable, misogynistic xenophobe who is dangerously emboldened by his own campaign of obtuse prevarication. Because of this, many middle americans now believe it is acceptable to be overtly and casually racist. African americans and racial minorities are, once again, being told to, "Get to the back of the bus." All this because the president spews forth an unchecked tirade of nationalistic jingoism. This gives middle america a presumptive licence to be as hateful as they please. If that doesn't ring alarm bells, consider the spate of mass shootings ( remember Orlando ) and, last week, the attack on a Synagogue in Pittsburg. And then come crudely made pipe bombs, in the mail, for simply speaking one's mind and having the courage to point out what how <a href="https://lonaf.blogspot.com/p/tin-foil-hats.html">incredibly stupid</a> half of the American voting public truly are.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Attn Trumpfarts and Libfarts alike, this affects us all. The U.S. recently abandoned the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty which was forged by two great peacemakers - and now the Nuclear umbrella is once again over our heads.</span><br />

Many rejoiced at the abandoned missile silo's in Kansas, Dakota, Montana and the other states that have these, but of course, one only needs a couple of Typhoon and Ohio class submarines off the coast of any nation to nullify this.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">However, those who were teenagers before the nineties will remember what it was like to live with the possibility of nuclear war. Let's forget our differences and UNITE AGAINST THIS INSANITY. A one megaton airburst does NOT care WHO you voted for or whether or not you have lost faith in the MEDIA. It will vaporise, burn or poison YOU and ALL WHOM YOU LOVE. You cannot win a nuclear war. Simple. As. That.</span><br />

In order to cite just some of my sources, here are some well reported articles. Be sure to ask yourself this whilst reading, are "upgrades" sticking to the deal or not?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the Washington Post comes the most damning article ( and remember, these guys brought down Nixon, so please don't go all right wing and scream "fake news" )</div>
<br />
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/putin-claims-russia-has-nuclear-arsenal-capable-of-avoiding-missile-defenses/2018/03/01/d2dcf522-1d3b-11e8-b2d9-08e748f892c0_story.html" target="_blank">Washington Post: Putin claims Russia is developing nuclear arms capable of avoiding missile defenses</a><br />
<br />
Finally, here, for your viewing, is a movie that scared the heck out of me as a teenager. Threads is a drama documentary based in Sheffield, England, focusing on the lives of ordinary people in an event that can only be described as one of humanities worst nightmares. Made in 1984, it remains, even today, the most frightening depiction of nuclear war ever to have been put on screen.<br />

Does one single nation truly have the right to demand tax from a webpage that is at once viewable and dynamic all over the world?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here in New Zealand, one can pick up, on shortwave, Radio Australia. If I hear a radio advertisement that convinces me to buy a product, does the New Zealand government have to the right to demand tax from Australia? Who would pay? The advertiser? The radio network? Or the manufacturer of the product I purchased?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It really gets sticky. Facebook is also free to the user. It does not charge for a subscription. Where it DOES makes its money is from clicks on targeted advertisements. A click could be worth anything from a cent to 10 cents, depending on what is trending. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is what Inland Revenue New Zealand wants to tax. IRD argues that since those clicks are being conducted on PC's, tablets and smart phones in our country, by our people, it's entitled to a cut. But is it a cut they are truly entitled to?</div>
