“An enthusiastic philosopher, of whose name we are not informed, had constructed a very satisfactory theory on some subject or other, and was not a little proud of it. ‘But the facts, my dear fellow,’ said his friend, ‘the facts do not agree with your theory.’
‘Don’t they?’ replied the philosopher, shrugging his shoulders, ‘then, tant pis pour les faits’ — so much the worse for the facts!”
Charles Mackay
“Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, O Lord, art more than they.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson, In Memoriam
“A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.”
W. B. Yeats, Leda and the Swan
“Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed.
You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”
Homer, The Iliad
“Surely, there is at this day a confederacy of evil, marshalling its hosts from all parts of the world, organizing itself, taking its measures, enclosing the church of Christ as in a net, and preparing the way for a general apostasy from it. Whether this very apostasy is to give birth to Antichrist, or whether he is still to be delayed, we cannot know; but at any rate this apostasy, and all its tokens, and instruments, are of the Evil One and savour of death.”
John Henry Newman, The Times of Antichrist
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.
