There is no salvation for men either as individuals or in families or in society, outside of Our Lord and His Church. God created men for a supernatural life and end i.e. The beatific vision; any attempt to build a just life and society outside of the Catholic faith and principles is doomed to fail miserarbly.

Key point in your link:
U.S. federal government is in fact paying millions of dollars for a significant portion of the equipment and for the transportation costs to get it to Ukraine.

The actually costs are probably $1-$3 million.

What about this key point?

QuoteUSAID agreed to purchase closer to 1,500 standard Starlink terminals for $1,500 apiece and to pay an additional $800,000 for transportation costs, documents show, adding up to over $3 million in taxpayer dollars paid to SpaceX for the equipment sent to Ukraine.

It's still something.

Quote from: Bonaventure on Today at 05:28:52 PMMuch of the articles documenting the connection between USAID and Starlink are being cohencidentally removed from the internet. 404 not found etc.

Simply not true. Communist media outlets are spinning it all over the place.

I am having a hard time finding the articles from 2021-2022 with firm sources.

Don't think it'll matter much, because the Silicon Valley, Left Coast, transhumanist, atheist, degenerate is now on "our side."

The man who wore a "Devil's Champion" Halloween costume, Baphomet head and inverted cross, alongside other demonic costumed celebs (https://vigilantcitizen.com/pics-of-the-month/symbolic-pics-of-the-month-november-2022/) is now Trump's Champion.

Quote from: james03 on Today at 11:14:15 AMI don't care.
He made millions of dollars off of USAID and the federal government actively aiding and abetting the Ukrainians, and you don't care?

At first Musk provided Starlink at no cost, then later he did accept money, reportedly less money than they were worth. So since no one actually knows if he lost money or ended up making money, please provide your source.

The USAID OIG was actually investigating this when the Muskrats had it shut down.

Inspector General offices are comprised of analysts and federal law enforcement agents, mostly former local police officers and veterans (NCIS, Army CID, etc.)

No, that is the older one who is in Kazakhstan

The older of the two in this video is a budding paintballer.  He travels the UK with a friend of his and they have paintball fights in a sort of professional environment.  He would be selected for the British paintball team (he is good) but too young at 12.  You need to be at least 14 because of the travel around Europe to competitions.

Musk agreeing to provide Starlink to Ukraine's Army is a non sequitur with regards to draining the swamp.

There's a lot RFK jr. promotes that I oppose, however I'm glad he's in at HHS to fight big pharma and big Ag.
