A Spiritual Weapon for Our Time

Last week on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Mel Gibson defended the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, bringing the Shroud into the public eye once again. He’s not the only one defending Christ’s burial cloth.

Dr. John Campbell, a prominent YouTube commentator on medical topics—especially on malpractice inherent in the Covid vaccination regime—recently changed course to present a compelling analysis of the evidence for Christ embedded in the Shroud of Turin. The Lord’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection a...

Of Bread and Planets

So there I was, making a loaf of my world-famous jalapeño cheddar bread, when an unusual thought occurred to me. Well, unusual for some folks, but not really for me, per se.

Here’s what I was thinking: At 115 feet long and weighing 100 tons, how did Argentinosaurus not crush itself under its own weight, especially with pneumatised (hollow) bones? More importantly, how did a creature that big get away from predators? Run? Swim? Jump? It’s fossils aren’t connected to particularly wet areas, so it ...

What Trump Should Do

American security agencies have long used the cloak of national security to avoid accountability for their crimes, such as the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, and the numerous assassinations of foreign leaders and screw-ups.  Beginning with the Clinton regime, presidents and non-security appointees also began escaping accountability. The situation worsened in the George W. Bush/Dick Cheney regime, and it exploded in the Biden regime with the Attorn...

What If Tech, the Market and the State Are No Longer Solutions?

If we study the problems outside the force-field of mythological beliefs, we find that there are no systemic solutions, there are only partial, local solutions.

The status quo rests on a foundational belief that all problems, regardless of their nature, can be solved by technology, the market or the government (i.e. the state), or some combination of these three.

Which one is the paramount solution depends on the specifics of the problem, of course, but what’s proposed as a solution also depends...

Are We Nearing the End?

What does it say about a society when its scholars turn increasingly to studies of the downfall of civilizations, the end of empires, the concept of human extinction, and even “existential risk”?  That scholarly attention in both Europe and America turned to something that was labeled “collapsology” in 2015, and an academic volume of Futures in January 2023 listed the existing literature on “societal collapse” as 361 peer-reviewed articles and 73 books since 2010? That the Wikipedia entry on “Ex...

The Ultimate Guide to EMP Proof Vehicles for an EMP Attack

If you’re serious about emergency preparedness, one topic that should be on your radar is EMP-proof vehicles. An EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, can disrupt or even destroy electronic devices, leaving modern cars inoperable. Imagine cruising down the road when suddenly every electronic device in your car goes kaput—no more radio, no more navigation, and worst of all, no more engine.

Key Takeaways

Understanding the various phases of an EMP, like E1, E2, and E3, is important. Each phase has its ow...

Climate Jeezus Taketh Away

“So-called progressives finally achieved what they supposedly warned of but in truth wished for: the eviction of the affluent descendants of colonizers, the incineration of their homes, and the destruction of a city that, more than any other, represents our bloody history of white supremacy and conquest.” — Michael Shellenberger

For those in the USA with an interest in collapsing the USA, the Los Angeles fire is the gift that will keep on giving, and George Soros hardly had to cough up a dime to...

Today’s Government That Represents Hitlerism Is the U.S. Government

Hitler’s beliefs were supremacist: Might makes right, and we are the mightiest; all who resist us are wrong and must therefore be crushed. Of course, Hitler stood for the German version of that. However, in the post-WW2 world, the U.S. Government has carried this banner. The ideology is essentially the same, but representing a different nation.

If Hitler had won, his next war would have followed soon thereafter and he would have easily conquered Japan. That’s not because Hirohito would have been...

Israel Against The World – With U.S. Aid

I once represented a man charged with first-degree murder.  At the preliminary hearing, the courtroom was filled with the family and friends of the victim.

When my client was led out of the holding cell, the officer who brought him out leaned over and whispered to me: “Boy, it’s you against the world – you against the world.”

Today it’s Israel against the world, aided and abetted by the U.S. due to mega millions in campaign contributions.

On Nov. 20, the U.S. cast the only “No” vote in the U.N. ...

America and the British Empire

My big-picture outlook is that America with its quasi world empire has been following in the footsteps of the warmongering British Empire. That road is leading to America’s premature downfall. I suppose others have noticed the striking similarity between the two “Anglo-Saxon” great powers in their approach to the outside world.

On the American side, some have pointed to the Great War and Woodrow Wilson as pivotal. I have suggested that the Spanish American war (1898) was the real turning point f...
