Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But he spake of the temple of his body.

I think dome earth position is usually that the globe earth theory refutes the bible and posits a neo-Platonist and/or pagan world view where the earth is dominated by the sun, and both are an insignificant part of a vast, empty, Godless, meaningless, space.
The guy who made this video though seems to only concerned with verifiable science.

2022 Monarch Butterfly Update
1 month ago Kip Hansen
Guest Essay by Kip Hansen – 8 June 2022
This last March, I reported on these digital pages the marvelous and mysterious news that the census of the Western Monarch annual migration in California had shown an increase in overwintering monarchs by 100 times over the previous year. The expert consensus had been that the Western migration would be shown to be extinct.
But Nature does not always listen to the experts and just does what it does.
“The butterflies hit a devastating record low last year [2020-2021], numbering fewer than 2,000 across California.” …. “We were pretty concerned last year that we were potentially facing a reality where there would no longer be monarch butterflies in the Western US,” Sarina Jepsen, director of the endangered species program at the Xerces Society” [source ]
That statement from Sarina Jepsen is probably a misquote – no one thinks that the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is going extinct in the Western U.S.. The fear is that the natural phenomena called the Western Monarch Migration will cease. “…in 1983, the IUCN took the unprecedented step of creating a new category in the Invertebrate Red Data Book, in order to list the monarch migration as a Threatened Phenomenon. This is because the numbers of American migrants are falling sharply.” [ source ]
This last March I reported that due to the Covid pandemic (probably) the usual annual census of overwintering Monarchs in Mexico had either not been completed or had not been reported. Now, at last, the WWF, in conjunction and partnership with:
[These are, left to right, the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (Mexico), the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (Conanp), the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, World Wildlife Federation, and the TELMEX Foundation.]
has finally, issued the annual report as a four-page .pdf file.
Good News!
Executive Summary
During the second half of December 2021, 10 colonies of Monarch Butterflies were registered covering 2.835 hectares (ha) [about 7 acres] of forest, this represents a 35% increase in relation to the area registered in 2020 (2.10 ha). Six colonies covering 2.174 ha were located inside the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve (MBBR) and four covering 0.661 ha were located outside the MBBR, five of those colonies were located in Michoacan and five in the State of Mexico.
The increase by 35% is far from the 100-times increase seen in the California migration, but is still good news. The Eastern Monarch migration still has a long way to go to return to the numbers seen in the 1990s.
This year’s count was not quite as high as the one-site estimate of “doubled” reported to me by Joel Moreno Rojas who operates the JM Butterfly B&B in Macheros, Mexico, adjacent to the Cerro Pelón reserve. Cerro Pelon did have the second largest colony this last year, exceeded only by Sierra Campanario.
Monarch experts are not in agreement about what has caused either the near-disastrous low of 2013-2014 or the recent improvements. Most agree on the major culprit for the population decline since the 1990s – changes in agricultural practices, including the use of Roundup-type herbicides which greatly reduced the incidence of milkweed among field crops, like corn, and began to be used to eliminate roadside weeds in addition to the usual mowing. The aggregate effect on milkweed populations, necessary food for monarch caterpillars, can be seen in the monarch migration numbers. This is known as the “milkweed limitation hypothesis.”
Chip Taylor, director of Monarch Watch, recently completed a study that found that numbers of monarchs overwintering in central Mexico is directly tied to the size of the summer population in the U.S. Midwest.
Published Aug. 7 in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, the researchers show that the decline in the monarchs’ overwintering numbers is not due to an increase in the deaths of monarchs during the migration — the “migration mortality hypothesis.” The main determinant of yearly variation in overwintering population size, they found, is the size of the summer population.
The “migration mortality hypothesis” has been heavily promoted in Science and Scientific American. This hypothesis aligns well with the narratives of Climate Change advocacy and goes like this: “changes in the climate are causing bad weather during critical monarch migrations time windows with more damaging storms, droughts, high winds and climbing temperatures.” However, Chip Taylor and his colleagues found:
“Showing the migration mortality hypothesis advocates their assumptions were wrong took awhile since that required a significant effort to vet our monarch tagging database for accuracy and to analyze the data,” Taylor said. “Dealing with 1.4 million records is no simple task.”
“In contrast to the predictions of the migration mortality advocates, the tagging recoveries — a measure of migration success — did not decrease over time, the researchers found.”
“In addition, the number tagged each year was correlated with the size of the overwintering population in Mexico, consistent with the milkweed limitation hypothesis. The tagging also confirmed that the majority of monarchs reaching the overwintering sites originated from the Upper Midwest.” [ source ]
The Monarch Watch study reinforces the need to restore milkweed to its original range and numbers. Restore milkweed, restore the monarchs.
Monarchs have painted themselves into a corner by requiring milkweed for reproduction. This was a perfectly fine idea when milkweed grew almost literally “everywhere”. It is still widespread but not nearly in the numbers seen in earlier decades. In the American Mid-West, the milkweed that would be maturing in the vast cornfields never got past seedling stage due to Round-up Ready agriculture. In my area, roadsides and highway verges, where milkweed flourishes, are generally mowed down in the late summer coinciding with the exact time that the caterpillars that will become the migrating super-generation of monarchs are on the milkweed plants.
All-in-all, this is encouraging science news, Western Monarchs have surged in some mysterious way, Eastern Monarchs are recovering, and the need to plant more milkweed has been established through rigorous painstaking science.
Bottom Line:
1) Migrating monarch populations are recovering – though the underlying reasons for the dramatic recovery in the West is a mystery.
2) The actions needed to restore monarch migrations to the previously seen numbers are clear: a) encourage local and state agencies to cease mowing milkweed patches along highways with special emphasis on the Midwest, b) assist Mexico to fight the illegal logging in monarch reserve areas of Mexico.
and
3) You can help by planting beautiful native milkweeds at your home or encourage your local parks department to plant them in public gardens. Native Milkweeds are available from many commercials seed and plant companies such as Spring Hill, Select Seeds, Gardens Alive or American Meadows. Search the ‘net for “buy native milkweed seeds and plants”.
Yes, well put. I have no doubt that NASA is a deception, and there are so many aspect of the globe theory that seem to be untrue. I haven’t yet been able to find a convincing cosmology consistent with flat or dome earth but as I say I haven’t made it my main focus yet.
I think what makes me lean somewhat towards the non-globe theory is the vicious attacks and demands for an end to debate from the globers.
The infant baptism case is very interesting and detailed and I would hesitate to say I can represent it well after one listening.
So here goes :) the baptismal standing of the infant is relevant and valid because it is founded upon the patriarchal, familial, tribal and/or church standing of the relevant authority in the infant’s life. The further understanding being that church membership and inclusion in covenant is not confined to the saved, but necessarily includes individuals who may ultimately be judged unworthy of the kingdom.”
Thus Jesus says:
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
John 15 KJV
Therefore we know that there are branches grafted in which will be taken away and burned later because they fail to bear fruit.
This is a poor skim over a deep and detailed lecture that I would recommend listening to.
On the flat earth I’m still an agnostic. I really wish one side or other could settle all the arguements, but I am sufficiently overwhelmed with irl and other theological issues that it may not reach the top of my list anytime soon.

The supreme court of Brazil has ruled that the Paris Agreement, an international treaty adopted in 2015 to limit global warming to 2°C or, preferably, 1.5°C, is a human rights treaty that must take precedence over national laws. ...
The Supreme Federal Court ruled, “Treaties on environmental law are a type of human rights treaty and, for that reason, enjoy supranational status. There is therefore no legally valid option to simply omit to combat climate change.”
The ruling also means that any laws made by the Brazilian government will be invalid if they contradict the Paris Agreement, and violating this ruling or the Paris Agreement is a violation of the country’s constitution and human rights.
Very interesting, as a casual observer I never got the impression that Ted’s ideas were particularly racially focussed but I would possibly have assumed some sort of separatist position.
If this is a genuine letter from Ted then there will undoubtedly be a good few Ted fans who will be quite surprised at this aspect of his vision.
Thanks for the post EJGeneric.
