Final Judgement

Recently, I wrote an article about the adulterous Coldplay couple caught on the kiss-cam, and I concluded my piece with some thoughts about the very public General Judgement that will occur when Christ returns to judge the living and the dead:

Whatever happens to the couple from now on, the justice and mercy afforded them in their moment (or lifetime) of exposure is similar to—and yet nothing approaching—the mercy and justice we will all face, together, at the General Judgement at the end of tim...

Just Announced: Dumbest Book of 2025

Some topics are too easy, so I avoid them.

I like to discuss things that require me to exercise the ol’ melon.

But once in a while I have no choice.

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, has a new book called Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy.

So the president of a national teachers’ union characterizes her opponents as “fascists.” Terrific.

I think dismantling a national education bureaucracy and turning authority over to loca...

Bethesda ‘Mystery Nurse’ on 11/22/63 Now Positively Identified

In my recent YouTube documentary titled “The Three Bethesda Casket Entries, Revisited,” I featured the story of a Bethesda nurse (a Navy Ensign, or O-1) who witnessed “a simple casket offloaded from a helicopter by men in trench coats” at or near Bethesda Naval Hospital the night of JFK’s autopsy; she had been informed that the helicopter would be delivering the body of President Kennedy to Bethesda NNMC that night.  (The story of the Bethesda nurse had been written about in 1992 by New England ...

Now Comes the Hard Part

That this extreme inequality is itself the primary threat to both democracy and social stability is poorly understood.

Scraped of pleasantries, the ultimate purpose of any status quo is to 1) distribute most of the economy’s gains to the top tier and 2) offload the sacrifices this requires to the bottom tiers but in stealthy ways that aren’t noticeable enough to spark political revolt.

The basic stealth mechanisms deployed over the past 50 years to offload the sacrifices on the bottom 90% are:

Premises Have Conclusions

As readers here must know, the Archbishop of Detroit, Edward Weisenburger, has fired three longtime professors of philosophy and theology at the archdiocese’s seminary, Sacred Heart. The firing took the professors by surprise. He has given no reason for it, except to say that he disagrees with their theology. I do not know what that means, nor does the archbishop seem to intend to tell us what it means.

Let us come to cases. If I say to William of Ockham, “I disagree with your theology,” and Wil...

An Existential Threat to and From the Intelligence Community

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification of communications and reports that implicate Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, senior officials from the Obama administration, and former heads of the Intelligence Community in a conspiracy to frame President Trump with the Russia Collusion Hoax is nothing less than earth-shattering.

America has endured many political scandals.  The country has never had to contend with anything of this magnitude — in which a lame-duck preside...

Stopping the Gaza Holocaust Is the First Step Toward a Healthy World

Nicole on Facebook writes, “I would love to hear you explain how Palestine is the moral question of our time. Why it’s so important. How it’s related to every movement and should be a concern to everyone.”

Palestine is the moral question of our time because the abuse of the Palestinians is the most glaring, in-your-face symptom of the imperial disease. You can see the effects of so many of the empire’s abusive dynamics in how this thing is playing out, from racism to colonialism to militarism to...

Ukraine Reportedly Working Frantically To Disrupt Putin and Trump Summit

Let’s start with a very interesting post from Joe Tuzara’s Substack. I don’t know if this is true because I have not found any other media source reporting on it, and there are some problems with the details reported. Here is the claim:

White Hats on Sunday killed a Ukrainian assassin in Wasilla, Alaska, five days before President Trump is scheduled to meet with Vladimir Putin at a currently undisclosed venue in The Last Frontier.

At approximately 10:00 p.m., soldiers from the 10th Special Force...

Virginia School Officials Allegedly Procured Free, Secret Abortions for Students

A Virginia school district has opened an independent investigation into charges that officials at one of its high schools secretly procured all-expenses-paid abortions for minor students.

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) claims it opened its investigation last week as soon as it learned of the allegations, yet there is indisputable evidence that the district was aware of the charges months ago.

Minor Offense

According to investigative journalist Walter Curt, who broke the story last Tuesday,...

The Human World & the Misuse of Science

In 1687, Isaac Newton published his monumental book, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, often shortened to Principia, in which he presented the foundation for classical mechanics and universal gravitation. The book dazzled natural philosophers all over Europe and the British American colonies, and was a milestone in the so-called “Scientific Revolution” of observing and analyzing the natural world.

Shortly thereafter, natural philosophers began to contemplate the possibility that Newto...
