The Menace of Political Show Trials

In recent days, we have had brought home to us what “show trials” are like. They are not confined to Soviet Russia and it satellite countries during the Cold War but are a very present reality to us in America today. Political opponents of Donald Trump charged him with felonies for acts that were entirely legal. The judge in the case was a political opponent of Trump and worked artfully to prevent the trial jury from hearing testimony that would have exposed the imposture.

In view of what has ha...

Time to Jettison the Animals

“The old left had intellectual commitments that were false in interesting and theoretically stimulating ways. The new left demands adherence to lurid absurdities so preposterous that merely entertaining them induces nauseating neurological disorders.” — Xenocosmography on “X”

The most astounding part of America’s “Joe Biden” three-plus-years thrill ride is that the Party of Chaos and Hoaxes was able to pretend until just a few days ago that this political phantasm could run for re-election. Now,...

The Reckless Brinkmanship With Russia Just Keeps on Escalating

It’s damn near impossible to keep up with all the warmongering of the western empire these days.

In response to the frightening steps that NATO has been taking to allow western-supplied weapons to be used by Ukraine to strike Russian territory, Vladimir Putin warned last week that these escalations can lead to “serious consequences”.

“This constant escalation can lead to serious consequences,” Putin said. “If these serious consequences occur in Europe, how will the US behave, bearing in mind our...

The Curious Case of Our Consenting Clergy

The problem is obvious – thus a curiosity as to why it exists.

Simply stated, most of America’s Christian leadership profess an allegiance to Christ our King, but if they are committed to what He wants down here on earth, then why are these Christian leaders collectively silent in the Public Square regarding what is going on down here?

Why do they offer no outcry, let alone any organized resistance, as our King’s enemies overrun His earthly Dominions, and as usurpers substitute their dominion an...

A Liberal Dose of Nonsense

He’s physically repellent but writes quite elegantly, from the left, needless to say. He recently took a swipe at us dumb Christians for believing, he being Jewish and referring to our Lord Jesus as a crucified rabbi. Adam Gopnik is his name, and his reference to Jesus Christ was just a name-drop while reviewing some books on liberalism: “Try publishing an anti-communist book in China or a critique of theocracy in Iran,” he writes. “Liberal values and practices allow their most fervent critics a...

Medvedev Warns That Any U.S. Strike on Russian Targets Will Be the ‘Start of World War’

A former Russian president is warning that a strike by the United States on any Russian target will amount to the “start of world war.”

Dmitry Medvedev, who has been quite vocal lately about the West’s behavior towards Russia, announced to the world this week that World War III will be set in motion the moment the U.S. strikes Russia in any capacity.

The current Deputy Chair of Russia’s Security Council, Medvedev said this after Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski stated that the U.S. will...

Supporting Genocide To Halt Multipolarity

The St Petersburg Economic Forum (SPIEF) takes place this week. It’s one of the go-to annual meetings across Eurasia. The overall theme in 2024 is “multipolarity,” quite fitting considering this is the year of the Russian presidency of BRICS. The BRICS summit next October in Kazan will be crucial in drawing the contours of the road map towards multipolarity going forward.

Ay, there’s the rub. Taking us to arguably the key question facing the Global Majority: How can we afford to dream about mult...

If AI Is So Great, Prove It: Eliminate All Surveillance, Spam and Robocalling

AI is for the peons, access to humans is reserved for the wealthy.

Judging by the near-infinite hype spewed about AI, its power is practically limitless: it’s going to do all our work better and cheaper than we can do, replacing us at work, to name one example making the rounds. It’s going to revolutionize everything from science to marketing, all the while reaping trillions of dollars in profits for those who own the AI tools, apps, etc.

All these extravagant claims make good clickbait, but let...

Why Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley Will Be VP, or Someone a Lot Like Her

This is the fact of the matter — central bank loving Zionists, predisposed to big war, big government and neo-conservative views (read: pseudo-conservative) are dumping money on Trump’s campaign right now seeking the promise that he will put Nimarata “Nikki” Haley in as his VP.

They want to make her the Plan B nominee when Trump goes to prison. Or if that does not happen, as a plan C, they want to make her the Dick Cheney of the 47th presidency, a grey eminence who subverts anything conservative...

The Genius of Jesus Christ

I’ve noticed something concerning regarding the human race. People devote little attention to what is important. The daily news headlines are preoccupied with crime, politics, or trivialities such as what dress a celebrity wore to a social event. Occasionally, the news media will take note of some technological breakthrough, but almost never in the context of a long term perspective. There is little recognition of the need to focus and prioritize our attentions and industries.

An exception to th...
