"November is the pearl-grey month, the changeling between warm crimson October and cold white December, the month when the leaves fall in slow drifting whirls, and the shapes of the trees are revealed, when the earth imperceptibly wakes, and stretches her bare limbs and displays her stubborn unconquerable strength before she settles uneasily into winter. November is secret and silent."  -- A poem for November by Alison Uttley

‘Heart of Stone’ Trailer: Gal Gadot, Jamie Dornan and Alia Bhatt Star in Action-Packed Netflix Movie

Gal Gadot is going from superhero to super spy in the action-packed first trailer for the international espionage thriller “Heart of Stone.”

Gadot was joined by co-stars Jamie Dornan and Alia Bhatt at Netflix’s Tudum fan festival in São Paulo, Brazil, where the trio debuted the film’s first trailer. The footage features heart-stopping stunts, like Gadot’s Rachel Stone — an intelligence operative for a shadowy global peacekeeping agency — skydiving from a death-defying height.

Stone’s steely demeanor and adrenaline-junkie habits are explained as her boss (Sophie Okonedo) warns, “You know what you signed up for. No friends, no relationships… What we do is too important. When governments fail, the only thing left is the Charter.”

Stone and Dornan’s Parker are among the organization’s highly-trained agents, who have no political leanings or national allegiances and are described as “working together to keep peace in a turbulent world.”

But when hacker Keya Dhawan (Bhatt, as the Bollywood A-lister stars in her first major Hollywood movie) steals the agency’s most valuable – and dangerous – weapon (a technological core that “gives the Charter its power,” it’s “heart,” if you will), Stone sets off on an epic, globe-trotting adventure to save the day and clear her name.

“Heart or no heart, I’m coming for you,” Gadot snarls into a cell phone as her own warning to Bhatt.

Directed by Tom Harper from a script by Greg Rucka and Allison Schroeder, the intense footage also features major action set pieces including a motorcycle chase through the Alps and cars speeding through the streets of Lisbon. Gadot is also seen flying through the air twice — first, paragliding off a snowy embankment and later, doing some extreme skydiving.

“Chance of success just plummeted,” a Charter agent (played by Matthias Schweighöfer) cautions while Stone performs the dangerous maneuver. “Only because you have no imagination,” she shoots back, as she manages to tumble onto her target.

In addition to bringing her action star skills (refined in “Wonder Woman,” and soon to return to the “Fast and Furious” franchise) to the table, Gadot also produced the film under her Pilot Wave banner with her producing partner and husband Jaron Varsano. Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger are also billed as producers, along with Mockingbird’s Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn. Patty Whitcher, Harper and Rucka serve as executive producers.

“Heart of Stone” begins streaming on August 11.

Netflix nabbed worldwide rights to the project in 2021, marking another partnership between the streamer and Skydance, after teaming for “The Old Guard” with Charlize Theron, Ryan Reynolds’ “6 Underground” and “The Adam Project,” directed by Shawn Levy. Gadot and Netflix have their own strong ties, with the superstar set to appear in two sequels to “Red Notice,” as the 2021 action comedy is one of the streamer’s most-watched movies of all time.

Here's how atheist candidates fared in the 2022 elections

There are at least 15 nonreligious state senators.

This is a jump from 10 just two years ago. While they use different labels to describe themselves, these legislators show that you can represent people of faith even when you don’t believe in a Higher Power yourself.

Sen. Stanley Chang (HI)

Geoff Schroeder (ID)

Pinny Beebe-Center (NH)

Sen. William Brownsberger (MA)

Sen. Jeff Irwin (MI)

You can see from the list that the senators include challengers, former state representatives, and incumbents whose open nonreligiosity wasn’t a dealbreaker for voters.

There are at least 44 nonreligious state representatives

Rep. Kathleen James (VT)

Rep. Barbara Rachelson (VT)

Jennifer Parenti (CO)

Brooke Grossman (MD)

Joey Andrews (MI)

Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban (NH)

Melanie Renfrew-Hebert (NH)

Courtney Neron (OR)

Michael Warder: Another CIA Moonie Asset?

Was Michael Warder recruited into the church while a Stanford student, where he studied political science? It is known that during this time, the CIA was recruiting students at Stanford. In fact, in the mid-60s, students at Stanford protested CIA recruitment on their campus. Was he recruited into any other organizations other than the UC?

Under Papasan Choi's International Re-Education Foundation, which he was the president of at the time, he gave a course on "Integrated Psychic Phenomena," something he had studied at that time for four years. Why did he study this? It’s interesting that this was something the CIA was also studying. “Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain” by Sheila Ostronder and Lynn Schroeder was anti-communist and one of the books that were required reading in this course - the other being an Arthur Ford book. Ford of course gave a seance to Moon a few years before this. What is Michael’s testimony? By 1980, Warder already had a high position at the Heritage Foundation, and remained in political circles since.

From Ex-Moonie Profile: Michael Wader

Michael Warder, 1968 graduate of Stanford University with a degree in Political Science, quickly became a top Moonie directly reporting to Moon, rubbing up against known KCIA/CIA operatives, including Tom Ward and Bo Hi Pak. Michael Warder was a Director of the Unification Church of America in 1977. He was listed as Director of Tong II in 1978, and was the largest American stockholder of Tong II Enterprises in the 1970’s. He was Secretary
 of the International Cultural Foundation. He had an editorial position in News World Communications which published the UC New York newspaper, ‘The News World’ – later called ‘The New York Tribune’. Cheryl Gilkerson, his wife, joined the church in Paris, where Tom Ward also joined the church as a student around the same time. Cheryl and Michael left the church in 1979 remain married, and Michael continues to be a proponent of right-wing politics, employed by the Claremont Institute, a conservative think thank, for years. Their son Michael Warder Jr. also went into political science,  and later law. He spent five years in the Marine Corps. He founded the “Russian Club” at school. Their daughter Amy Lynn went into law as well.

Now, I'm a pretty thoroughgoing skeptic. I've tried to keep an open mind on claims of ghosts, psychic powers, all the varied colors of mystical stuff out there, but I've seen serious scrutiny of pretty much anything turn up nothing way too often for me to default to belief. But I still follow news of psychic research, UFOs, and general Forteana, for much the same reason as I, as an atheist, follow Biblical criticism — as fascinating studies in humanity.

(While a believer, I devoured a book I no longer remember the name of, which gave instructions on building a crystal-tipped copper wand for focusing your psychic powers, promising that once you held one, you'd remember how to use it from your past life in Atlantis. A chapter near the back went into some detail on the amazing new science of psychotronics, building electronic circuits to focus psychic energies; I distinctly remember the way the author excitedly described the astonishing fact that you could replace the wires and components with drawings of the circuit, and it would work just as well! It took me a minute to realize the actual implications of that statement, but that's how I stopped believing.)

So I was listening to some podcasters review a fellow's psychic contact with UFOs documentary, from a sort of soft belief perspective — their consensus was that some parts were plausible, some a little too culty, and that the claims made by the filmmaker were so varied and wide-ranging as to ping a lot of bullshit detectors — when they mentioned the ever-popular subject of government cover-ups and disinformation. Which made me smile, because we have a lot of evidence that there was a US government UFO disinformation campaign — just not the way people usually think.

See, beginning in the 1940s, for what should be obvious reasons, the US has done a whole lot of research on advanced aircraft (and spacecraft) technology. Top-secret fighters, bombers, spy craft, and drones have all been tested at sites like the one later called Area 51. And what better cover of the advanced capabilities of US aircraft could there be than the story that those are possibly aliens, and the government is trying to crack down on knowledge of that? There's some further evidence that the USSR took this campaign seriously enough that they launched their UFO investigations in response.

Of course, the Russians got their own back; such famous boondoggles as the CIA's Project Stargate, investigating remote viewing and psychic warfare, were triggered by the rumors of advanced psychic research in the USSR and its satellites, which got written up in breathless fashion in Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder's 1970 book, "Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain".
