Mary and Jesus: John Chapter 19 Versses 25 through 30

Image
Mary stood at the foot of the cross, her heart heavy with grief as she watched her beloved son, Jesus, die. The sight before her was unbearable - Jesus' body was writhing in pain, his arms and legs stretched out on the wooden beams, nails driven through his hands and feet. His face was contorted in agony, and his breaths came in short, labored gasps. Mary's eyes were fixed on Jesus, and she could not tear her gaze away from him. She wanted to reach out and comfort him, telling him that she loved him and everything would be alright. But she knew there was nothing she could do to ease his suffering. As the minutes ticked by, Mary felt helpless and despair wash over her. Her mind raced with memories of Jesus' life - his birth, ministry, and miracles. She couldn't believe that it was all coming to an end like this. Mary watched through tears as Jesus cried out, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." She felt a flicker of hope in her heart, knowing

The China Threat

Image
According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, “The greatest long-term threat to our nation’s information and intellectual property, and to our economic vitality, is the counterintelligence and economic espionage threat from China.” Chinese counterintelligence and economic espionage efforts pose a grave threat to the economic well-being and democratic values of the United States.  The FBI's top counterintelligence priority is to combat this threat. Chinese people and people of Chinese descent or heritage are not adversaries of the United States people or government. The threat comes from the authoritarian policies and programs of the CCP. The Chinese government employs tactics to influence lawmakers and public opinion to achieve more favorable policies for China. The Chinese government is also attempting to become the world's greatest superpower through predatory lending and business practices, systematic intellectual property theft, and brazen cyber attacks. The government and th

MP3 Download of the Audio for this Episode   ‘Mind Dominance’: The CCP’s Disinformation War on US Social Media    According to the testimony of security experts, lawmakers, and numerous reports, the CCP is adapting its strategy for psychological warfare against the weaknesses of open societies.  It is evolving its influence campaigns from corny propaganda about the glory of communism into subtler, more insidious disinformation campaigns intended to make Americans give up on their own country. “The goal of CDO is to achieve what the People's Liberation Army refers to as ‘mind dominance,’ defined as the use of propaganda as a weapon to influence public opinion to effect change in a nation’s social system, likely to create an environment favorable to China and reduce civilian and military resistance to People's Liberation Army actions,” the report said.   China sets SIM-based tracking devices in UK Government cars .    NOTE- Every developed country like the United States, the UK,

Midjourney ODMP Commentary

I intend to make representational portraits of all fallen officers posted on the ODMP.ORG website each year, and I will place the prompt and their image here.  Although I will use the seed of their IRL portrait, the Midjourney representation is just that.  A picture and a memorial.    This means that the generative stable diffusion algorithms and data from Midjourney will not produce an exact replica.  I want to capture the person's spirit and the spirit of other fallen officers (e.g., K9).
