Remarkable footage of a Lancet loitering munition hitting a Ukrainian team. Like... what? Like this is a whole new phase of warfare and it's terrifying. I hope those guys got out of there alive but know some didn't.
More than that, I hope the people responsible for this slaughterhouse, and it is, should be held accountable. Victoria Nuland, we're not looking at you, not for a second.
What utter satans,

Everyone knows Sunday's the Feast of the Trinity, that central doctrine of the Faith which describes the inner nature of God as He has revealed Himself. One nature, divine, three persons, distinct, and unless you believe this you're in big trouble, says the Athanasian Creed. This, NB Anglicans, has been shunted to the back of our latter day Prayer Books where presumably it'll cause less offense by virtue of being well hidden. Here's the intro:
Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic faith. Which faith unless every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the Catholic faith is this: that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the Essence.
So, there's most definitely a three line whip on orthodox Trinitarian doctrine. That said, can we make any sense of it? St. Augustine most certainly endeavored to do so in his magisterial De Trinitate, read it if you can and I found this short commentary helpful. An excerpt:
The Father, Son and Spirit are distinct, and yet they are a unity in the equality of the one substance. Any inferiority of the Son refers to his human nature or to the Trinitarian order whereby he has received his equal being from the Father. “The Father is God, the Son God, the Holy Spirit God…yet there are not three Gods – but one God – the Trinity Itself” . . . “so total is the equality of this triad that not only is the Father not greater than the Son as far as divinity is concerned, but also Father and Son together are not greater the Holy Spirit, nor any single person of the Three is less than the trinity Itself” (8.1).
Still, within this equality there are distinctions between the Persons. The Father is distinguished as Father because He begets the Son, and the Son is distinguished as Son because He is begotten. The Spirit, similarly, is distinguished from Father and Son inasmuch as He is ‘bestowed’ by them; He is their ‘common gift’, being a kind of communion of Father and Son.
The distinctions between the three persons are grounded in their mutual relations within the Godhead. Augustine resorts to the category of “distinctions based on relations” even though this may seem contrary to the doctrine that God as simple and as such cannot be differentiated from his attributes. The reason for this assertion is to escape a cunning dilemma posed by Arian critics. They argued that the distinctions within the Godhead, assuming they exist must be categorized as either substance or accidents. Everyone agrees that God has no accidents. On the other hand, to view the distinctions as substance would result in three independent substances in the Godhead.
Augustine rejects the dilemma. He suggests that the terms Father, Son and Holy Spirit denote not difference in substance between the Persons but eternal and unchangeable relations between them within the one substance. That is to say, what differentiates the Three Persons in the Trinity is the specific form of relations. The persons retain substantial equality.
The relationships do not simply distinguish the Persons from each other – they are the persons. In technical language, they are subsistent relationships. Accidents in ordinary things like qualities or quantities can change. For example, the quantity of stuff in a man can change without him ceasing to be a man. But in the case of the divine, relationships are actually substantive predications since they are identical with divine nature or substance. But a relationship requires real distinctions between two referents at the poles of the relationship. The Father is distinct from the Son. Neither is distinct from God; and they are each distinct from the Holy Spirit, not as Father and Son, but as ‘from whom he proceeds’.
Edmund Hill elaborates, “Therefore [the Father] is not only Father, he is the fatherhood (the relationship) by which he is Father. So too the Son is the sonship by which he is Son. And the Holy Spirit. . . the relationship of being Gift, the relationship of ‘givenness’ if you like.
Now, per the above, what do "subsistent relationships" in the life of the Trinity teach us? To put it another way, if distinct personhood, real personhood has been revealed to us as relationship, what does that mean for us who have been created in the image of God? Read Augustine's triads, obviously, but perhaps we get a glimpse of the truth when we reflect on how dismally we behave when self-obsessed, and how much better when the opposite applies.
In other words, we become ourselves when we forget ourselves in relationship. The last shall be first, and all of that.
Just look at Victoria Nuland and tell me I'm wrong. By the monkey, I dare you.
Guinea on,

Just look at what SATAN has done to this poor girl. Inner wickedness at the highest levels of the state reflected in demonic visage. You'll note, dear readers, that Victoria's all about killing people. She's also a Bonesman. Here's LL via commentary, I quote at length:
Nuland was a career ambassador with the highest diplomatic rank in the U.S. Foreign Service. She retired from government work, but fear not, she is still the Brady-Johnson distinguished practitioner (a funded chair) in grand strategy at Yale University and a member of the board of the National Endowment for Democracy.
Nuland will join The School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University (SIPA) as the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor (funded chair) in the Practice of International Diplomacy effective July 1.
Nuland will also direct SIPA’s International Fellows Program, which provides an interdisciplinary forum for Columbia University graduate students to study international problems. Lastly, she will be a member of the Institute of Global Politics’ affiliated faculty, which comprises selected scholars and practitioners who work on research projects to advance IGP’s mission.
blah-blah-blah
So she now sits in funded chairs at Columbia (in a month or so) and Yale. What is her affiliation with the Skull and Bones Fraternity at Yale? Ah, LSP, the plot thickens. It turns out that she's a faculty advisor to Skull and Bones...
322, anyone, or should we just say Bush? Listen up.

Keen-eyed readers will have noticed that Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, Ukraine's English speaking Territorial Defense Force spox has been fired. Why? Because the murderous, unhinged, off-balance US Intel asset was going rogue and off-page, calling for hit job assassinations on anyone who disagreed with it.
My, what a bloodthirsty killer troon! And now it's fired. Perhaps blasphemous parody of a woman "Sarah" will have to go to Ost Front, to clear mines with shir feet. Or will it move back to the US and an anonymous rainbow safehouse in, say, Salt Lake City.
Mene Mene Sarah,
LSP
Serious question, do you trust beloved rulers, people like Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland? Here, have a look at her before Satan claimed his own:
Nuland's considered one of the architects of our current proxy war on Russia. You might think this war a very good thing but if so, do you really want to be aligned with Nuland and her friends?
To put it another way, are you on the side of the Deep State MIC (Military Industrial Complex) and its allies, or not? You know, the very same people who rigged an election against 45 who, weirdly, didn't start any wars.
Your call, readers. And remember, we build, they destroy.
Every time,
LSP
Sometimes an infovid's worth more than a thousand words. And, to be fair, it's always fun to post the Dead's awesome China Cat Sunflower. Rumours that Russia's run out of tanks, planes, missiles, men, computer chips, knives, washing machines and on were apparently premature.
But serious question, who's FORPOL better, Victoria Nuland or Russian strongman, Vladimir Putin?
See you at the Dorchester,
LSP
