The Laki eruption must have been frightening, since people all over Europe were totally unaware of what it was, of what had happened. There were not exactly any television news crews to send out, no planes or satellites - no knowledge. Must have scared the shit out of them. Just like the 1755 Lisbon earthquake and tsunami, which killed towards 100,000 and ruined every church in town, and that on a Church holiday - an event which was a landmark in European philosophy and religious thought. How could God allow such a thing to happen? People turned atheists en masse.

I have a question about these letters and also about the news-told-in-advance that appear here. And I am not in any way trying to lurk some secrets out of you people here - but how are they obtained? Do people at HQ give them to you or tell it to you because you make them believe you are 100 % in, or do they know you are not quite as in as that but still give it to you, or - well, how do you get this inside information? Once again, I am not trying to make you disclose any secrets, but just in general - how? -

Norway is the only country in Europe that never signed charter protecting the rights of children.Sorry to disappoint you, that is so utterly wrong.
:::::::::
there will be demonstrations in front of Norwegian embassies all over the world, but Norwegian population will be totally unaware of them like it was last year.
Again sorry to disappoint you, these are shown in the television news programs and newspaper columns whenever they take place - whenever 10 or 20 misled persons show up in front of an embassy.

liberal-left social engineering while implementing one of the brutal Nazi methods of its WWII past.
For your information, Norway has a right-wing government, and during WWII was occupied by Germany like so many other countries in Europe, and thus have no more a WWII "past" than any other country, unlike Germany/Austria/Hungary/Roumania/Slovakia which were allies.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear - please don't fall victim to such bullshit. What the Lithuanian, Estonian and other front persons are saying is just good plain old fashioned bullshit.

It is not like a magazine from 1994 is now changed because of a new understanding of a topic. As for books, the electronic version corresponds to the latest paper version. As for magazines, there have been a couple of changes, but in those instances, they were typos that were detected early and so the translated issues already had the changes (because they back in the old days were issued four-five months after the US originals).
If they really had wanted to change old versions, then why do you still find in the Ezechiel commentary book in the elctronic version that the prwaching work will be completed before the end of the 20th century? So changes are only made where there are changed printed versions.

This affects many organisations in India. It has been made unlawful for any organisation in India to receive funds from abroad. They are all on their own. So the aim of the anger should be the higher powers in Delhi, not in Brooklyn. -

Has nothing to do with Spanish - but in both German and English Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig writes interesting books on his field of research, which is molecular biology of both plants and animals. He is now retired, but was a professor at the well known Max Planck Institute. His book on the supposed evolution of the long-necked giraffe is well worth reading, and he recently has a book published on dog species or breeding as well. That one is also downloadable free of charge from his website. His books are available from Amazon. He has small, nice phrases interwoven in his texts from time to time, as in his book on giraffes, in the acknowledgments section, where he gives thanks to those who have inspired and helped him, and towards the end writes that the greatest thanks go to the Creator of such marvelous creatures as the giraffes. He was interviewed in Awake some years ago, in a special issue on creation.
