The FBI can no longer be trusted in any way, shape or form
It pains me to say that. I've undergone the background check for Federal law enforcement service as a prison chaplain, and sworn the oath. I meant every word of that oath, and still regard it as binding on my conscience. After all, it has no expiration date. Tragically, it's become blindingly obvious that the FBI's upper echelons - and many of its lower-level staff as well - no longer hold their oath of office in any regard at all: or, if they do, they arrogate to themselves the right to decide what the constitution and laws of the United States mean, not what they plainly ... read more

It’s Time to Learn Real American EconomicsPart 1 — Introduction: What’s Wrong with Hillsdale College? We are at a time when millions of Americans are outraged at government coercion over citizens’ lives, particularly the assaults on personal freedom and free speech. This ranges across the spectrum, from the vaccine mandates to the censorship and “de-platforming” now occurring on YouTube and throughout social media, to outright Satanic actions like suspending (or firing) teachers and school children for publicly stating that “there are only two genders.” All rational people recognize these attacks on personal liberty and ... read more

A humanitarian financial corridor must be established to bring assistance to the Afghan people and stabilize an Afghan economy that is currently in freefall. After the Taliban’s takeover in August, donors suspended billions of dollars in assistance that had propped up 75 percent of the Afghan government’s budget and accounted for 40 pe... read more

The Battle for the Rig Veda and SanskritThe Europeans possess the great talent for weaponizing anything that catches their eye. In the late eighteenth century, they became aware of the *Rig Veda*, and within a century they had weaponized some of its verses and its language: Sanskrit. The *Rig Veda* has been revered as a holy text by the Hindus (most people living in South Asia before 1000 AD) for more than 3500 years. The Hindus never thought of weaponizing its verses and language—the Hindus were never as warlike as the Europeans have been in the last 400 years. The story of the European weaponization of some of the vers... read more

Left buries its privilege with projectionsVictor Davis Hanson: The Left is addicted to projection—the psycho-political syndrome of attributing all of one’s own sins to one’s opponents. The woke apparently do this out of some Freudian effort to square the circle of their own guilt or sense of privilege, by fobbing off their own fearful realities onto others. It is the atheist version of confession or medieval penance. In addition, in the spirit of “always being on the offense,” wokists know that those who slander do so most successfully when they lodge exactly those charges most familiar and applicable to themselves.

"The Recognition"*"The Recognition"* by Jim Kunstler The climate change agitation is based on a central grandiose fallacy of our wobbling technocratic age: the idea that if you can measure enough stuff, you can control it. The master-wish in this case is what, exactly? To control the weather? (Which we might define as the day-to-day expression of the planet’s climate?) That ain’t gonna happen. In case you haven’t noticed, the business model of industrial civilization is already broken, and many of its dazzling tricks with it. And, anyway, the earth’s climate is forever and always changing, as is th... read more

In my state of Colorado, the test positivity rate is almost 10 percent, with 1 in 48 infected and if the current trend continues, this will be the worst COVID spike the state has seen. On the surface, that doesn’t make sense, since nearly 80 percent of eligible ... read more
