The first summer day is June 21

The summer is right around the corner, but when exactly does the summer start? The first summer day in North America is Wednesday, June 21, 2023. The length of the astronomical seasons varies between 89 and 93 days, while the length of the meteorological seasons is less variable and is fixed at 90 days for winter in a non-leap year (91 days in a leap year), 92 days for spring, and summer, and 91 days for autumn.

You are probably planning to travel and go to different festivals. If so, you have a lot of time because the summer will last until Saturday, September 23, 2023.

June 21 will be the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, and the summer solstice.

Solstices and equinoxes mark the key stages in the astronomical cycle of the Earth and, as such, aren’t fixed. There are two equinoxes. Spring, autumn, and two solstices. Summer, and winter. The summer solstice often invites many superstitions, and traditional pagan ceremonies, including gatherings at Stonehenge.

I`m so fascinated by the Stonehenge. Who in the world built it? And how? Stonehenge is one of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, and it`s regarded as a British cultural icon.

Archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed from around 3000 BC to 2000BC., and the surrounding circular earth bank, and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC.

Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400, and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4,0 m) high, seven feet (2,1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones.

25 tons? Who built it, and what tools did they use about 3000 years ago?

The world is experiencing revolutionary changes with Eurasian Integration in a multipolar world

The world is changing very fast, and we are facing a massive shift in the global markets. A New World Order. And President Vladimir Putin talked about it in his speech at the second Eurasian Economic Forum in Moscow, Russia, on May 24, 2023.

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) supports pairing with China`s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to achieve the Greater Eurasian Partnership, Putin said in his speech at the second Eurasian Economic Forum of the EAEU on Wednesday.

EAEU is an economic union of countries located in Eurasia, consisting of five member states: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia.

50 different countries attended the economic forum in Moscow under this motto: «Eurasian Integration in a multipolar world.»

The forum is designed to look at ways in which BRICS, the EAEU, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) can be expanded, and possibly integrated.

Putin said the EAEU supports initiatives committed to developing the Eurasian region and will continue to work with China to promote the docking of the EAEU`s development with China`s BRI.

Putin also said that the world is experiencing revolutionary changes and that more countries are seeking to build a new architecture of international economic relations that is fairer, and based on mutual respect and mutual benefit.

The speech was interesting, and Putin added that the U.S. economic policy is «shooting itself in the foot» by reinforcing a trend that undermines its own development. In this regard, he said Russia and its partners in the EAEU are interested in «honest, productive, and pragmatic cooperation,» noting that anyone acting otherwise «damages the global economy.»

Putin talked a lot about the economy, and he argued that the global economic system will only benefit from the formation of a decentralized international financial system and that it`s important to coordinate efforts to form such a global system.

Echoing Putin`s call for a decentralized international financial system, Belarusian First Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Snopkov said on Wednesday that Belarus plans to completely move away from the U.S dollar, and the euro in trade with Russia, and other EAEU countries by 2023.

But Belarus is not alone to do that. A few days ago, the Iraqi Ministry of Interior imposed a ban on the use of US dollars in personal, and commercial transactions in Iraq, according to Iraq News.

The ban, which came into force a few days ago, aims to promote the use of the local currency, the Iraqi dinar and limited the use of the US dollar in Iraq.

The De-Dollarisation wave continues………

People in Chile have defeated a failed government

People in Chile defeated a failed government. Chilean right-wing parties won a majority of votes on Sunday to elect advisers to draft a new constitution, making a sharp shift from a progressive majority that drafted a failed first constitutional rewrite.

With 95% of ballots tallied, Chile`s Republican Party, led by former conservative firebrand presidential candidate Jose Antonio Kast, secured nearly 35% of the vote, according to Reuters. They promise to stay at the right side, not only for years, but decades to come.

This is a political earthquake I must say. The right-wing party won a super-majority, and they are on the way to changing Chile like never before. The right-wing party won more than 30 seats, and that is more than enough to pass a constitutional reform as they want.

The Republican Party in Chile is led by a lawyer by the name of Jose Antonio Cast, and he is often referred to as the Bolsonary of Chile. Jose Antonio is the leader of Chile`s nationalist-populist coalition.

The leftists in Chile turned the country into the first official woke nation of Latin America, and CNN called it one of the most progressive constitutions on the planet. But the Chilean Patriots fought back, and here we have the results.

Voters in Chile have overwhelmingly rejected a new constitution due to replacing the one drawn up under Gen Augusto Pinochet`s military rule. In a referendum, almost 62% voted against the progressive draft.

The process to replace Chile`s military rule-era constitution started three years ago after mass protests rocked the nation, which is normally seen as a haven of stability in the region.

Almost 80% of Chileans voted in favor of replacing the old constitution in a referendum in October 2020. but the new document, drafted by a constitutional convention whose members had been chosen by voters, proved too radical for many, according to BBC.

Monica, a voter in the capital, Santiago, told AFP news agency: «Chile needs change, but it does not need communism, and that is what this process was attempting. It was creating inequality and division in Chile.»

The right-wingers in Chile promise to rewrite the constitution based on traditional conservative Chilean values. Not woke values.

Tucker Carlson fired from Fox News

This is bad for Fox News. Very bad. The superstar, and the king of cable news, Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. He`s finished. It`s over and out, which is extremely bad for Fox News. Not long ago, Tucker Carlson, Tonight recorded 4,3 Million viewers in 2Q, which was an all-time high for Fox News.

Tucker Carlson`s exit is related to the discrimination lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, the producer fired by the network last month, the people said. People familiar with the situation who was not authorized to comment publicly said the decision to fire Carlson came straight from Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch.

Murcdoch is also said to be concerned over Carlson`s coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, in which the host has promoted the conspiracy theory that it was provoked by government agents.

People around the world are shocked. It`s a bomb. A total surprise. But, it sends a message that even the guy with the highest ratings, by a long shot, doesn`t get to survive this disaster!

A rotating schedule of hosts will take over Carlson`s 8 p.m. Slot in the coming weeks, and they will not have a final show. His departure is so abrupt that Fox News was still previewing an episode of his show as of this morning.

Fox News’ Harris Faulkner announces on air that Fox and Tucker Carlson have parted ways, effective immediately.

The colorful eggs you decorate are actually symbols of a new life and rebirth, and it can`t be a better time to do it now

It`s Friday, and I`m on my way to our cabin. Right now it is a blue sky, and the sun is shining. There is a lot of snow, and it is around -20 degrees. I look forward to going skiing. We`re also planning to fish

and sleep outside for a night or two.

This is what easter is for us, but do people know why we celebrate easter? Just ask people around you. Many take it for granted but don`t even know why we are celebrating easter, and all these special days we have in front of us.

But let`s take the short version. Easter, Latin Pascha, Greek Pascha, is a principal festival of the Christian church, which celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his Crucifixion.

By the 4th century, the Easter vigil was well established in various liturgical expressions. It was characterized by a spirit of joyful anticipation of the Resurrection and, because of the belief that Jesus’ second coming would occur on Easter, the return of Jesus.

The Christian community believes that the times we are living in right now are the end times. They say we have all the signs we need to understand that the end times are here. It simply marks the end of something and the beginning of another thing. the end of one circle, and the beginning of a new and bigger one. This is where we are right now.

This leads me to easter and eggs. The colorful eggs you decorate with your family are actually symbols of a new life and rebirth. It couldn`t be a better time than now, to decorate the eggs as we see the apocalypse around us right now.

Along with the eggs comes the Easter Bunny, but its origins are not necessarily rooted in Christianity. The exact origins of the anthropomorphic rabbit are not clear. However, since ancient times, the hare has been said to represent rebirth.

Furthermore, they also believe that Jesus’ Second Coming will happen very soon. They say so because it is described in the bible. Christians have said so for many, many years, but let`s wait and see.

The date of Easter changes yearly. In 2023, the celebration will fall on Sunday, April 9. Easter Sunday will take place on April 9 in 2023, which is just over a week earlier than the one we had last year.

Easter is determined by the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal (or spring) equinox. For example, in 2023, the vernal equinox is on 20th March, and the following full moon is on the 6th April. Therefore, Easter is on the 9th.

As Morgan Freeman said, the story of God can be found in the Church of Notre Dame in France. This is where you can see «the crown of thorns». Many will take a trip at Easter this year. The holy relics are symbols of the divine here on earth.

As such, they can and do fall under the control of people who would use them for earthly power. But for those who are seeking spiritual strength, relics act as a speaker.

Speaking of faith that guides them through the distractions of this mortal realm to a more direct connection with God.
