India accidentally fired missile into Pakistan

India said on Friday it had accidentally fired a missile into Pakistan this week because of a “technical malfunction” during routine maintenance, giving its version of events after Pakistan summoned India’s envoy to protest.

Military experts have in the past warned of the risk of accidents or miscalculations by the nuclear-armed neighbors, which have fought in numerous armed clashes, usually over the disputed territory of Kashmir.

Tensions have eased in recent months, and the incident, which may have been the first of its kind, immediately raised questions about safety mechanisms.

“On 9 March 2022, in the course of routine maintenance, a technical malfunction led to the accidental firing of a missile,” the Indian Ministry of Defence said in a three-paragraph statement.

“It is learned that the missile landed in an area of Pakistan. While the incident is deeply regrettable, it is also a matter of relief that there has been no loss of life due to the accident.”

UK: minister calls for BDS ban as Western hypocrisy over Israel gets worse

With Britain joining other Western states in imposing sanctions on Russia, a senior Conservative Party minister has denounced the Palestinian-led campaign to impose sanctions on Israel for its human rights abuses and violations of international law, including apartheid. Michael Gove has urged MPs to proscribe the peaceful Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in Britain.

Gove describes himself as a “proud Zionist”. Last month he was described as “Islamophobic” over his role in the so-called “Trojan horse affair” in schools in the city of Birmingham eight years ago. He launched an attack against BDS during yesterday’s parliamentary debate on social inequality. Former Conservative MP Christian Wakeford, who defected to Labour recently, asked a question about the rise in anti-Semitism and if the government will continue to pay for security at Jewish schools and synagogues.

“The government has funded the security at Jewish locations, including synagogues and schools, and this, unfortunately, is vital to ensuring the safety of the Jewish community,” said Wakeford, also a vocal opponent of BDS. “Will the Secretary of State commit to the continuation of this funding next year, as well as ensuring that it is adjusted for the increased cost associated with inflation?”

1 Corinthians 8 – Fake Food : Take Care with Your Liberty.

1 Now about food sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge [concerning this]. Knowledge [alone] makes [people self-righteously] arrogant, but love [that unselfishly seeks the best for others] builds up and encourages others to grow [in wisdom].

2 If anyone imagines that he knows and understands anything [of divine matters, without love], he has not yet known as he ought to know.

3 But if anyone loves God [with awe-filled reverence, obedience and gratitude], he is known by Him [as His very own and is greatly loved].

4 In this matter, then, of eating food offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world [it has no real existence], and that there is no God but one.

5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords,

6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, [a]who is the source of all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things [that have been created], and we [believers exist and have life and have been redeemed] through Him.

7 However, not all [believers] have this knowledge. But some, being accustomed [throughout their lives] to [thinking of] the idol until now [as real and living], still eat food [b]as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and because their conscience is weak, it is defiled (guilty, ashamed).

8 Now food will not commend us to God nor bring us close to Him; we are no worse off if we do not eat, nor are we better if we do eat.

9 Only be careful that this liberty of yours [this power to choose] does not somehow become a stumbling block [that is, a temptation to sin] to the weak [in conscience].

10 For if someone sees you, a person having [c]knowledge, [d]eating in an idol’s temple, then if he is weak, will he not be encouraged to eat things sacrificed to idols [and violate his own convictions]?

11 For through your knowledge (spiritual maturity) this weak man is ruined [that is, he suffers in his spiritual life], the brother for whom Christ died.

12 And when you sin against the brothers and sisters in this way and wound their weak conscience [by confusing them], you sin against Christ.

13 Therefore, if [my eating a certain] food causes my brother to stumble (sin), I will not eat [such] meat ever again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

👉 1 Corinthians 8:7 In Paul’s viewpoint, meat sold at the market place (even if it had been used in idol worship) was permissible food because a pagan sacrifice was meaningless, and the meat itself could not be contaminated by any such ritual (cf Mark 7:19). Some who had accepted Christ worried that they were violating their new faith if they ate any meat without knowing its origin first-hand.
👉 1 Corinthians 8:10 I.e. the knowledge that no harm can come from eating the meat, since in reality the sacrifice is meaningless (see note v 7).

Canada’s former vaccine chair admits flu deadlier than COVID in kids

 

Dr. Caroline Quach-Thanh

‘What we’ve seen in terms of severity of Covid disease in children is that it is actually less than influenza for most age groups in terms of risk of hospitalization,’ the former immunization chair admitted earlier this week.

(LifeSiteNews) — The doctor who served as Canada’s chair on immunization is now admitting what critics of the COVID narrative have been saying all along, that the flu is deadlier than COVID among young people.

“What we’ve seen in terms of severity of Covid disease in children is that it is actually less than influenza for most age groups in terms of risk of hospitalization,” Dr. Caroline Quach-Thanh, who served as the chair of Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) from 2017 to 2021, told reporters at a press conference in Quebec earlier this week.

Strength to Heal: Child Trauma Signs In Children And Teens.

Zoe Sinclair
June 29, 2026

Before they can fully articulate their experiences, a child may manifest their experiences through behaviors. For instance, your child may experience nightmares, new fears, bedwetting, clinginess, irritability, aggression, social withdrawal, headaches, stomachaches, and/or inability to focus. If your child is an adolescent or older, he or she may be sleeping far more or less than usual, have less of an interest in school or other activities, begin engaging in riskier behavior, or have an extreme reaction to feedback (including correction). These are not definitive signs your child or teen has been traumatized, but certainly are signs your child may benefit from additional help.

Your child may find it difficult to self-regulate. Your child may experience frequent emotional outbursts in the face of routine changes or may become dysregulated or “switched off” after hitting a hard trigger. Some children appear to be on high alert for most of the day, while other children may struggle to self-soothe and return to baseline after a difficult day. The SAMHSA child trauma information page suggests that child traumatic stress can negatively influence children’s development, emotional state, cognition, and behavior. The adults in a child’s environment are the ones who teach children how to self-regulate emotions, responses, and physical reactions. Your consistency and steady presence can model a healthier way of handling stress and may help recondition their responses to stress over time.

Strength to Heal: What Counts As A Traumatic Event For A Child?.

Zoe Sinclair
June 29, 2026

There is a trauma if the event overwhelms what the child can withstand, evoking feelings of terror, powerlessness, horror, or shame. Traumatic childhood could be a single occurrence like a car crash, or something more ongoing, like continuous exposure to danger or addictions or outbursts of uncontrolled rage. It is especially important for children to remember how an event affects them when they are young and they depend on their parents to help them understand what happened and feel that they are safe again.

Equally important is how a child is treated in the aftermath. Children who have parents that believe, protect, and comfort them will probably be more able to heal than a child whose caregiver minimizes, insults, and punishes the child, or is unwilling to acknowledge what occurred. The event itself is only a fraction of the puzzle. What happened after? The most important question is did the child have the time and support to feel safe?

Strength to Heal: Adverse Childhood Experiences And Risk.

Zoe Sinclair
June 29, 2026

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are negative or stressful events a child may have experienced. ACEs are used in research to predict potential negative adult health, economic and educational impacts. The point of an ACEs score is not to predict someone’s future, or to assign blame, it is simply to add up the number of different traumatic events a person might have experienced prior to age 18 while not having the benefit of the buffering effects of stable, caring and nurturing relationships. The more adverse childhood experiences a person has, the greater the risk for cumulative, unbuffered stress and long-term health impacts; researchers often talk about “toxic burden” on a developing brain and body. Still, ACEs are not a person’s fate. Safe, stable, caring relationships can buffer stress and help individuals develop resilience. With stable relationships, counseling and community support, along with time and space, people can change their outcomes. ZK3ZSEPACEs are not destiny.

CONCERN FOR THE FUTURE – THE LAST CRISIS ON EARTH

– The present moment is of overwhelming interest to all who live.

Rulers and statesmen, men in positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed on events around us.

They observe the relationships that exist between nations.

They observe the intensity that takes hold of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to happen, that the world is on the eve of a spectacular crisis.

Calamities on land and sea, social instability, threats of war, like portentous omens, announce the proximity of events of the greatest gravity.

The evil agencies unite and increase their forces for the great final crisis.

Great changes are about to take place in the world, and the final moves will be swift.

A Wide Range of Targets

Experts say the group repeated the same tactic during the Cambodian elections in 2018 and September 2021.

“[From June 2021 to May 2022] Australian targets regularly included military academic institutions, as well as local and federal government, defense, and public health sectors,” the researchers added.

“Malaysian targets included offshore drilling and deep-water energy exploration entities as well as global marketing and financial companies. Several global companies were also targeted that appear to relate to the global supply chains of offshore energy projects in the South China Sea.”
