Anyone not convinced should read Forged about the writing of what Christians today call "the Bible" by Prof. Bart D. Ehrman. Yeah, but who is Ehrman?
Dr. Bart Ehrman, Ph.D., is an American biblical scholar whose research focuses on the historical Jesus, the textual criticism of the New Testament of the Bible, and the origins and development of early Christianity. He is a distinguished professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the author or editor of more than 30 books, including six NY Times bestsellers, and the creator of nine lecture series with The Great Courses.
Forged: Writing in the Name of God--Why the Bible's Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are
I bow to thine empty Roman torture device and think what I get out of it. Thanks, God!
He reveals which books in the Bible’s New Testament were not passed down by Jesus Christ’s disciples but were instead FORGED by other hands—and he explains why this centuries-hidden scandal is far more significant than many scholars are willing to admit.
A controversial work of historical reporting in the tradition of Princeton Prof. Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan, Prof. Ehrman’s Forged delivers a stunning explication of one of the most substantial—yet least discussed—problems confronting the world of biblical scholarship.
In this provocative work of biblical criticism, Prof. Ehrman separates history from tradition to reveal:
Ancient Forgery: Which New Testament books were written by anonymous authors who lied about their identity? Why does this scandal matter for modern faith?
Historical Methods: Techniques biblical scholars use to detect pseudepigraphyis how we can know who really wrote the books of the Bible.
Early Christian Conflicts: How internal debates and struggles with outsiders led different groups to create documents in the names of apostles like Peter and Paul (a Jew named Saul) to authorize their own views.
Lost Scriptures: An eye-opening look at non-canonical texts like the Gospel of Peter and 3 Corinthians, and what they tell us about the world of biblical forgery. More

(Maye Muses) Is [corrupt Godman] Sadhguru a spiritual leader or a dangerous cult figure [organizing murders motivated by greed and megalomania] - GuruMag (The Guru Magazine) expose explained:
Within India’s complex tapestry of spirituality, numerous revered gurus (spiritual teachers) and babas (father figures) stand out, their teachings resonating far beyond the confines of their ashrams (temples) and devotees.
Sad guru: I make a lot of money. lol
Boasting millions of followers worldwide, these spiritual leaders have amassed substantial wealth and wield immense influence, molding the country’s spiritual terrain.
Let’s delve into the lives of the seven wealthiest and most influential spiritual gurus and babas, starting with "Sadhguru."
Renowned for his flippantly pragmatic outlook on spirituality and yoga, Sadhguru ("true guru") Jaggi Vasudev, the founder of the Isha Foundation, stands as a prominent spiritual figure.
With a global following numbering in the millions, his estimated net worth, according to the Times of India, stands at Rs 18 crore [1 Rs crore = ten million rupees, so he had 180 million rupees], as of 2023. [His fortune has increased since then].
Sadhguru’s influence extends across yoga centers, educational institutions, and ecological projects within his financial empire. Through his teachings, he imparts "wisdom" on inner engineering and holistic living principles. More
(Sadhguru Darshan) "Nobody expected this question from Indian Tibetan Buddhist monk (lama)"? As scandal-ridden "Sadhguru"JaggiVasudev pontificates and goes on an on with his humble brag about how "enlightened" he must be now that he, having been an agnostic atheist not interested in spirituality, he experienced "ecstasy" one day. This made him feel like a holy man (sadhu), and he wants to make the whole world blissful or at least get rich trying.
Soft power in politics (particularly international politics) is the ability to co-opt rather than coerce (in contrast with hard power). It involves shaping the preferences of others through appeal and attraction. Soft power is non-coercive, using culture, political values, and foreign policies to enact change. In 2012, Joseph Nye of Harvard University explained that with soft power, "the best propaganda is not propaganda," further explaining that during the Information Age, "credibility is the scarcest resource"[1].

Prof. Frederick Philip Lenz III, calling himself "enlightened master" Rama (Sanskrit राम), Zen Master Rama, and "Atmananda" (Sanskrit आतमाननद), who died for 48 years between February 9, 1950–April 12, 1998, was a capitalist American cult leader, spiritual fraud, writer, coder, programmer, software designer from Atlantis, quasi-musician, and record producer.
He founded what he tried to sell as "American Buddhism," a hodgepodge of Zen gibberish, Hinduism, and Tibetan Vajrayana lite. He incorporated what teachings he could from Tibetan Buddhism, Zen, Hindu Vedanta, general mysticism, and lots of New Age ideas.
"Busting Rama" (LA Weekly 1988)
After studying with Sri Chinmoy, who allegedly gave him the name "Atmananda" (atman-ananda, which is a name he gave to many around him besides Lenz).
Prof. of Literature Lenz lectured and taught classes in meditation, before forming his own school and assuming the Hindu name of God "Rama." Though calling himself a "Buddhist," Lenz steered clear of anything like asceticism. Instead, he lived a lavish lifestyle, and encouraged students to focus on financial independence and success.
Some former students accused him of cult-like activity, including financial and sexual exploitation. Prof. Lenz denied the accusations; no civil or criminal proceedings were ever successfully brought against him. More
"Somaliland" (not Somalia) is officially called the Republic of Somaliland [b]. It is a partially recognized country in the Horn of Africa. It does not really exist but will be located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden and be bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Ethiopia to the south and west, and Somalia to the east [8] when the Empire of Greater Israel sets it up, installs a leader, and gets the USA to back the plan. Its claimed territory has an area of 68,000 square miles (176,120 square kms) [9], with approximately 6.2 million people as of 2024 [10, 11]. The capital and largest city is Hargeisa. More
(Amy Dangerfield) The Bondi Beach terror "attack" is insane (and very likely a false flag partial mass casualty even with planted crisis actors), used by Bibi Netanyahu to restart his war with Iran with renewed U.S. bombings, coincidence with Sandy Hook (elite fixation on dates and numerology), and pretext for Australian clampdown with its digital ID laws to impose new centralized financial system it can control and introduce to the West. Surveillance State coming soon. Thanks, Israel. Rense.com, what is a "false flag" operation?

The Squad's Ilhan Omar involved?
The alleged "mastermind" behind Minnesota’s $250 million Feeding Our Futurefraud scandal tied to the Somali community is accused of wielding extraordinary power through threats and what the government described as "fake claims of racism."
Aimee Bock, who founded the Feeding Our Future nonprofit in 2016, used her growing authority to silence dissent, discourage scrutiny from state regulators and cut off operators who refused to comply, prosecutors said.
While other defendants splurged on luxury homes, cars and overseas property, prosecutors said, Bock instead controlled the levers of approval and reimbursement that allowed the scheme to flourish.
One witness even recently described Bock as a "God" in how she enforced her authority. Court records show that more than $1 million flowed to Bock's longtime boyfriend, who appeared in trial exhibits posing inside a Rolls-Royce with Bock standing nearby, underscoring her alleged proximity to the wealth generated by the scheme.
Trial evidence painted a picture of a dramatic rise, with Bock going from running a little-known nonprofit to overseeing one of the largest federal meal sponsors in Minnesota as she gained influence, visibility and access to powerful political circles. More
