The State is Your Daddy
Reading Time: 3 minutesIt’s been my policy to ignore the Republicans. However, I feel I should say something about the government shutdown and the House tax bill. Since the Republicans control both houses of Congress I suspect that they actually want the shutdown to happen. Therefore, their threats represent a clear and present danger and…

Mega-Church and New World Order
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis is the beginning of my effort to provide additional links pertaining to my articles. I haven’t done this previously because I’ve assumed they would already be available to my readers. Relevant articles and videos seem to appear in my news feed and I sort of figured they would be available to…

The Low Standard: Pseudo-Intellectualism in Neo-conservative Thought
Reading Time: 3 minutesIn the book, When Empire Meets Nationalism,[1]the authors expressed their hope for a ‘intellectual alternative’ to the neo-conservative worldview. The problem with this expression, in my opinion, is not its basic sentiment but its wording. It implies that the neoconservative worldview is intellectual.

Do Neo Conservatives Understand Christmas?
Reading Time: 4 minutesThe Neo Conservatives have used fundamentalist Christians to increase their popularity.

In a recent interview on the Jimmy Dore Show, Braña explained that although progressives have the numbers, they are ‘too atomized’ to be successful at the polls. He hopes…

Neoconservatives Against the World
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe knew that this election was a contest between two deep state factions, but the most interesting thing in my opinion is the fact that both Trump and Clinton represent neoconservative influences. It was Bill Clinton who allowed the left-wing neocons to take control of the Democratic Party.[1] (Page 36, Location 465)…

Humanity at the Crossroads
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI just read the New York Times article about the baby homes in Ireland. Patriarchal ‘morality’ creates a throwaway culture. It turns love to hatred, beauty to ugliness, and human kindness to cruelty. If we really want to make things better we have to let it go. [1] [1] Ireland wanted…

Puerto Rico Follows in the Footsteps of Haiti
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI was shocked when I read this story about five former presidents raising funds for hurricane relief. [1] I’m not picking on the Chicago Tribune, all of the media handled this story in the same way. I assume this means that the majority of Americans don’t know the aid they sent…

The Many Faces of Revelation
Reading Time: 8 minutesWhen it comes to the Book of Revelation disagreements can end the conversation before it gets started. I suspect that some of my readers are already up in arms because I cited J. Massyngberde Ford in a previous article. Because her commentary on Revelation is controversial in some circles, I’m also using…
