Picking Our Poison With Pope Francis

Whenever Pope Francis holds an interview on a plane, Catholics have learned to buckle up for turbulence. But on his way back from Singapore last Friday, after a lengthy trip to Southeast Asia and Oceania, the Holy Father answered a question pertaining to American politics with uncharacteristic and refreshing clarity—though not without a touch of his off-the-cuffism, which often seems to cover more ground than orthodoxy does.

Francis shot straight in telling Catholic America it has a choice betwe...

Is IXXI Debatable? The Problem of Idolatry

Some claim that IXXI was an “inside-job,” a “false-flag” operation in which the World Trade Center buildings were brought down by high-tech explosives, not by planes, and orchestrated by governing elites, not Muslims. Is such a claim debatable? Should one even consider it a possibility?

There are certain convictions that a Christian should never question or doubt. God is love and evil never triumphs, for example. No matter how much hatred and evil we encounter and experience in the world, we are...

Closing Hatches Before Rains Founder the Western Vessel

The war is lost, and the struggle to keep the ‘enforced pretending’ going is breaking through, to be seen by all as a false reality.

Israel is entering the next phase of its war on Palestine by completing its takeover of the Gaza Strip – from the northern border to the Netzarim corridor. It is likely that they intend for this area to then gradually be made available for Jewish settlement and annexation to Israel.

In a piece titled, “Annexation, Expulsion and Israeli Settlements: Netanyahu Gears ...

Springfield Ohio Is Just the Beginning

Why does the US government hate the American people? Why does the US government try to destroy us?

The Anti-White American Democrats are Incapable of Understanding that an illegal alien does not become part of a national community by unlawfully entering it, any more than a thief becomes an owner of property by stealing it.

What has happened to America when the entirety of the media, the entirety of the Democrat Party, the entirety of the universities, Homeland Security (sic) not only welcome but...

The Illusion of Choice: Democracy as the Greatest Show on Earth

As individual citizens, as voters and taxpayers we have been so deeply, so consistently, so relentlessly indoctrinated, so blindly radicalized, and so thoroughly and easily subjugated and ideologically manipulated that, by now, it has become terribly challenging for any of us to even entertain any viewpoint or any opinion that is opposed to our own.

It is next to impossible for a single individual to find the strength of character or the moral fortitude to raise doubts, questions or objections a...

We Need Medical Freedom; ‘Questions Swirl Around Would-Be Trump Assassin’s Ukrainian Ties’

I think so too.  One thing that was nice when I lived in Bolivia is that the things one could buy over the counter without a prescription was much larger.  I could go to a Lab and ask for a full blood test without having to visit a primary doctor and get his okay and all that.  I was there last year and got the fullest test for about 30 dollars or twenty something.  It is a wonderful feeling of freedom knowing that you are getting it for the asking and that you are avoiding the obstacle of the p...

The Ruling Elites Create an Orwellian Reinterpretation of Human Rights

Ludwig von Mises depicts the aim of revolutionary socialism as: “to clear the ground for building up a new civilization by liquidating the old one.” One of the main strategies in liquidating a civilization involves dismantling its legal and philosophical foundations. This role is fulfilled by activists who embark upon “sabotage and revolution” by subverting the meaning of words: “The socialists have engineered a semantic revolution in converting the meaning of terms into their opposite.”

Would Be Assassin Is a Media Darling

While we often hear that middle-aged southern white men pose a grave threat to American democracy and public safety, Ryan Wesley Routh—a former roofer from North Carolina who looks and sounds like a dumb cracker —has, in recent years, been a model of anti-Trump and anti-Putin sentiment. Also notable is the fact that in 2002, he was charged with the felony possession of a fully automatic firearm.

The following is a collection of statements he has made to various MSM outlets over the last couple o...

From 11 September to 7 October: The Fake ‘War on Terror’ Collapses

Colonization … is the best affair of business in which the capital of an old and wealthy country can engage … the same rules of international morality do not apply … between civilized nations and barbarians.

– John Stuart Mill, quoted by Eileen Sullivan in “Liberalism and Imperialism: JS Mill’s Defense of the British Empire,” Journal of the History of Ideas, vol. 44, 1983.

The events of 11 September 2001 were intended to impose and enshrine a new Exceptionalist paradigm on the young 21st century...

America Today, Compared to the America I Grew Up in

My America no longer exists. What has taken its place?

Judges, prosecutors, and law professors who define justice in terms of ideological agendas and who are hostile to the US Constitution because it gets in the way of their agendas.

Jurors so brainwashed, indoctrinated, and compliant with authorities that only 3% of defendants will risk a jury trial. It is safer to self-incriminate. No one trusts a trial by their peers, who in fact are operatives for the authorities.

A population so insouciant ...
