"The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world — and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end — is being destroyed." Hannah Arendt, “Truth and Politics”, The New Yorker, (25 February 1967)

Colleen Rennison as Cassandra in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Rite of Passage." On her sixteenth birthday, Cassandra suffered a breakdown and was placed under observation at Stargate Base. She suddenly had the ability to move things by the power of thought. However, such actions also raised her body temperature to a great extent and she could have died from this overheating. Cassandra demanded to be allowed to go back to her planet and when Janet Fraiser and the others saw no other way out, they agreed. In the end, it turned out that none other than Niirti was behind all this, but she had already left the planet at that time. Back at the base, however, Nirrti was found and agreed to heal Cassandra in exchange for her release. She apparently only appeared on the planet to find out what the results of the experiment with Cassandra were.

The image illustrates the ABCDE approach, a systematic assessment used in emergency and trauma care to prioritize life-threatening conditions. The mnemonic provides a structured order for evaluation and management: Airway: Ensuring a clear and protected airway. Breathing: Assessing ventilation and oxygenation. Circulation: Evaluating blood flow and controlling significant bleeding. Disability: Performing a neurological assessment, often using scales like the Glasgow Coma Scale. Exposure: Fully examining the patient while preventing hypothermia.
The image illustrates the left-right political spectrum, a system for classifying political positions, ideologies, and parties. It visually maps different political stances along a horizontal line, ranging from "Left" to "Right". Left includes liberal and radical positions. Center/Middle represents moderate views. Right includes conservative and reactionary positions. The spectrum is used to organize people based on their political beliefs.

State Marker Number: 980 Location: Burnside Island State Park "First named Point Isabel. Settled about 1800 by pioneers from the Carolinas and Virginia. During the Civil War the Union army, in 1863, set up a troop rendezvous and supply base here as a prelude to East Tennessee campaign of Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. The area became known as Camp Burnside in official dispatches and the name Burnside retained after war."
Matthew Gravill travelled to Texas in September to meet a “who’s who” of senior figures in the American fascist movement. Credit: ITV News Also visible in the picture is Robert Rundo, a neo-Nazi and founder of the global “Active Club” movement. Rundo fled the United States after being charged with inciting violence following a series of attacks on protesters at rallies in California. He spent time on the run in Europe before eventually being arrested in Romania and deported to the US. He was sentenced in federal court in December last year to time served and supervised release. Standing nearby is Thomas Rousseau, the 27-year-old founder of Patriot Front, wearing a blue military-style jacket with epaulettes. Rousseau helped organise the deadly far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017. At the back of the group, wearing a grey suit, is Jared Taylor, the eldest attendee and editor of American Renaissance magazine. His attempts to intellectualise racial segregation have made him one of the best-known racists in the US.
"War is the realm of uncertainty; three-quarters of the factors on which action in war is based are wrapped in a fog of greater or lesser uncertainty.... war is the realm of chance. No other human activity gives it greater scope; no other has such incessant and varied dealings with this intruder. Chance makes everything more uncertain and interferes with the whole course of events." — Carl von Clausewitz

Rosalind Elsie Franklin (25 July 1920 – 16 April 1958) was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer who made contributions to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), viruses, coal, and graphite. Although her works on coal and viruses were appreciated in her lifetime, her contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA were largely recognized posthumously.

“One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating the obvious... At first Ford formed a theory to account for this human behaviour. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths seize up. After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favour of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working." ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

What is a Reactionary? • Sitting on the far right of the ideological spectrum, reactionaries want to go back to the way things were—the “good ol’ days.” • Often reactionaries are willing to use extreme methods, such as repressive use of government power, to achieve their goals. Hitler’s Mein Kampf is a typical reactionary manifesto. https://www.slideserve.com/casta/the-political-spectrum
