Archbishop Viganò: Bergoglio Owes His ‘Election’ to McCarrick
In a new interview given to journalist Franca Giansoldati of the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò claims that Francis “owes” his 2013 election to disgraced ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick.
In the interview published by Il Messaggero on Wednesday morning, Viganò was asked, “You have accused Pope Francis of having ignored the rumors relating to the homosexuality and abuse of minors by Cardinal McCarrick, who was later convicted of pedophilia, reduced to the lay state,...
US Calls For Ceasefire But Keeps Supporting War
On August 12, the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, issued a press statement commemorating the anniversary of the adoption of the Geneva Conventions.
He said: “The 75th anniversary of the adoption of the 1949 Geneva Conventions is a fitting occasion to reaffirm our commitment to respecting international humanitarian law … We call on others to do the same.”
Except Israel.
Blinken added: “Faced with the horrible reality of war, parties to armed conflict must comply with international humanita...
The Worm Turns: House, Senate Investigate TSA Surveillance of Tulsi Gabbard
Two weeks ago, former presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard found out she’d been placed on the TSA’s “Quiet Skies” watch list, and put under “Special Mission Coverage” surveillance by Federal Air Marshals. A Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserves who enlisted and served in Iraq after 9/11, Gabbard was almost speechless at reports of her placement on a terror list. She felt “the deepest sense of betrayal,” she said, adding: “It cuts to the core.”
Since then, multiple Air Marshals came forward as ...
Catholics at War & The Heart of Tragedy – Part II
The Ancient Eddy
If our preemptive, aggressive invasion of a foreign land that lasted fifteen years and killed almost a quarter of a million people can be justified in terms of self-defense, and a war that killed 75 million people can be referred to by Christians as “The Good War,” I don’t think we’re going to be able to appeal to reason or the moral law to try to convince Israel that what they are doing does not meet the sniff test. Frankly, if we American Catholics think we can lec...
Is Trump Trying To Lose the Election?
Trump’s election in November should be a walk in the park. The Joe Biden/Kamala Harris White House was among the least popular president/vice president tandems in U.S. history, with Harris’ poll numbers sinking below Biden’s.
America is in the midst of an undeclared recession. Most of the American people are fed up with Biden’s proxy war with Russia in Ukraine. And, believe it or not, most Americans do NOT want the U.S. fighting a war in defense of Israel. A large percentage of the U.S. populati...

How Google Hides the U.S. Government’s Lies
I have encountered this so many times so that I’ll give today’s example in order to display how blatant it is:
I prefer generally not to read at X and other sites where posts tend to be user-hostile for skeptical readers (like I) who are constantly checking to find the original source for an allegation, but I just happened upon an X from Arnaud Bertrand, on August 18th, headlined from the World Bank “Military expenditure (% of GDP) – China,” and it showed China at a remarkably stable and low per...
Democrats Release Insanely Hawkish Middle East Policy Platform
Celebrity progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris “is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza” at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night. There is literally no evidentiary basis anywhere for this assertion. She made it up.
Kamala Harris is not “working tirelessly” to do anything at this time besides become the next president. Her own staff are saying she is opposed to an arms embargo on Israel and won’t consider cutting or condi...
Western Media Dismiss Ukraine’s Kursk Offensive
Two weeks ago, when the Ukrainian army started its incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, I had expected the Russia army to dispel the Ukrainians within a few days. That did not happen as it took time to bring enough troops towards that new frontline.
I also underestimated the size of the force the Ukrainians had made available for the operation. It is now estimated to be in the range of 10,000 to 30,000.
For now the Ukrainian army attack has mostly be stopped though it is still trying to expand ...
More Evidence That the Covid Shots Did Not Reduce Mortality
Executive summary
Mainstream medicine, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and others believe that the COVID shots have saved 20M people from dying from COVID worldwide.
I’ve been looking for these 20M people and still haven’t found any.
But what I did find is two more authoritative gold-standard sources that confirm that the shots did not reduce COVID mortality.
Previous evidence
In the past, I’ve cited:
