The Suicide of Western Society and the Only Hope for its Resurrection
Fr. Seraphim brilliantly outlines the progressive sickening of Western society in his monumental “Orthodox Survival Course.” To understand what is transpiring around us we must comprehend the roads traveled to arrive where we are.

They were granted Sovereignty yes, but immediately joined the British Commonwealth with QEII as their head of state in 1978.

Prince Andrew's lawyers were locked in emergency talks last night following the conviction of his pal Ghislaine Maxwell as they considered calling on one of her victims to help him in his US civil case which includes allegations of sex abuse and first degree rape.
The guilty verdicts left the British socialite - a second paedophile the royal is now known to have befriended - facing up to 65 years in jail after being found to have procured, groomed and trafficked girls for sex for Epstein abuse.
The jurors' decision has sparked fear in the Duke of York's legal team given the burden of proof in a criminal case is far higher than that needed in a civil case, like the one Andrew is facing.

But, conveniently, the records are sealed. Wouldn't want the plebs to get direct confirmation on just what scumbags their "social betters" are.

New York: A 2009 settlement agreement between the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, which bears directly on Giuffre’s civil lawsuit accusing Britain’s Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, will be made public early next week.
In a joint order on Wednesday (Tuesday AEDT), US District Judges Lewis Kaplan and Loretta Preska in Manhattan ordered the agreement’s release on or about January 3, 2022, finding no reason to keep it under seal.

....The records show that in the early stages of Giuffre's discussions with attorneys about her experience, she had declined to identify men she says Epstein and Maxwell told her to have sex with.
"I just, some of these people are really influential in power, and I don't want to start another s***storm with a few of them," she told Scarola in 2011.
"I'm really scared of where this is gonna go," she added.
Injectable device delivers nano-view of the brain
It’s a notion that might have come from the pages of a science-fiction novel — an electronic device that can be injected directly into the brain, or other body parts, and treat everything from neurodegenerative disorders to paralysis.
Sounds unlikely, until you visit Charles Lieber’s lab.
TECHNOLOGY; I.B.M. Creates A Tiny Circuit Out of Carbon
In another step toward post-silicon computers, I.B.M. scientists have built a computer circuit out of a single strand of carbon.
The I.B.M. circuit performs only a single, simple operation -- flipping a "true" to "false" and vice versa -- but it marks the first time that a device made of carbon strands known as nanotubes has been able to carry out any sort of logic. It is also the first logic circuit made of a single molecule.
Dr. Charles M. Lieber, a professor of chemistry at Harvard and an expert in the field of nanotechnology, called the I.B.M. achievement "quite significant." The effort to incorporate nanotubes in computer chips is a "great strategy and one that could be implemented relatively quickly," he said.
When were those Antrax letters sent? Who was blamed and suicided? Dr. Bruce Ivins. Dr. Lieber was protecting Dr. Michael Callahan and who did Dr. Callahan work with? Dr. Robert Malone. And who did Dr. Malone work with since 1989? Dr. Nancy Logan Haigwood, who threw Dr. Bruce Ivins under the bus. She was also the Associate Director (1983 – 1992) at Chiron Corporation who got a huge funding contract from Dr. Fauci for AIDS vaccine, which never came, and GSK acquired them along with all their patents.
Nanowires May Lead to Superfast Computer Chips
Compared with competing techniques, the semiconductor rods, or nanowires, are easier to make and manipulate, and they may be easier to miniaturize to the sizes needed for superfast computer chips. "They have a lot of advantages in that we can control their properties quite well," said Dr. Charles M. Lieber, a professor of chemistry at Harvard who led the research.
Dr. Lieber said the nanowires might also make "unbelievably good sensors" for proteins, DNA and other biological molecules. Among other things, that could aid the development of devices to detect pathogens like anthrax.
The researchers have shown that the nanowire transistors can be wired together to perform all of the basic logic operations needed for computer computations. To build dense circuitry, the researchers would move the nanowires closer together. "Voilà," Dr. Liber said. "You have a billion devices."
Practical computer chips using nanowires are probably a decade away. Dr. Lieber said that in a year or two the nanowire transistors could be used as biological sensors by adding sites for specific molecules -- say a piece of anthrax -- to bind to the nanowires.
“We want to find a single virus before it finds you,” says Charles Lieber, Hyman Professor of Chemistry at Harvard University. Tests recently completed in his laboratory show that these unimaginably thin nanowires can sense and distinguish between viruses that cause flu, measles, and eye infections. Lieber believes future versions will be able to spot HIV, Ebola, SARS, West Nile, hepatitis, bird flu, and other dangerous viruses.

They would be like "tiny scuba tanks introduced into your bloodstream," says Ralph Merkle, a nanotechnology engineer who left Xerox PARC last year to work for Zyvex, a Texas-based company devoted to creating a "molecular assembler" -- the key that would make it possible to arrange atoms and molecules into nanometer-size (a nanometer being one billionth of a meter) robots that could revolutionize manufacturing and medical care. He envisions people with chronic emphysema and heart disease carrying vials of respirocytes in the same way that diabetics tote insulin.
Earlier this year, the Clinton administration proposed the $227 million National Nanotechnology Initiative to speed and coordinate cutting-edge research. "The exploratory phase has matured," says Charles Marcus, a Harvard physicist. "Now people are starting to ask, "How can I actually control the behavior of atoms?"
Already, the Palo Alto-based Quantum Dot Corporation is developing nanoscopic crystals that can be used as fluorescent markers in drug development, basic genetic screening and detecting disease. The glowing Q dots, as they're called, could be commercially available by next fall.
