  • Are we the bad guys?

    Trump supporters did not vote for war with Iran. They didn’t vote for any military action against Iran—or any other country. In fact, Trump ran on the promise that he would be different from the warmongering neocons. He would be a president of peace. That means “no new wars.” Remember that? No new wars.

    Soooo …. why then are we about to go to war with Iran?

    Apparently, the Iranians will obtain a nuclear weapon if we don’t do something. That’s odd. Didn’t President Trump tell us last summer that the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities obliterated their nuclear program? Obliterated. Didn’t he insist that it set their nuclear program back “decades”? Not months. Not years. Decades. It hasn’t even been a year.

    These are not serious people. This is another reminder that the patients are running the asylum. If the Epstein emails have proven anything, it’s that the elite class is every bit as incompetent and sociopathic as it appears. Yet it’s this same class of people who have designated themselves global arbiters, deciding who can have dangerous weapons and who can’t, who can partake in the global economy and who can’t, who deserves to be struck with the lethal hammer of American might and who doesn’t.

    It’s time for the American people to seriously think about whether the decent character of the general population is reflected in our government’s actions around the world.

  • Are there demons in AI? And have we already lost control?

    In 1919, a man named Rudolf Steiner delivered a lecture titled “The Ahrimanic Deception.” Ahriman refers to an ancient demon Steiner predicted would manifest “in all things physical — especially human technologies.” Steiner predicted this would happen sometimes around, well … now.

    In 2014, tech guru Elon Musk warned that AI technology was a conduit for demonic activity. He said:

    “With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon. In all those stories where there’s the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it’s like – yeah, he’s sure he can control the demon. Doesn’t work out.”

    In 2023, thousands of tech experts signed a letter in support of a pause on the training of powerful AI systems. That same year, Dr. Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI,” quit his job at Google and said there was a 20-percent chance that AI would wipe out humanity completely.

    In 2025, Congress held hearings during which devastated parents testified how AI chatbots convinced their children to kill themselves.

    And, over the last few weeks, AI researchers have been quitting and broadcasting ominous warnings such as, “the world is in peril.”

    Even the pope is issuing warnings about this technology.

    Something is happening. It’s been happening for years. And it obviously doesn’t appear to be good. Stories of AIs saying crazy and evil things continuously emerge. And we should consider how much worse it is. When it comes to technology, what the public knows is usually behind by years.

    It’s time to consider that just as evil spiritual beings are capable of inhabiting humans and animals, as the Bible says, they’re likely capable of possessing machines.

  • Embrace your European heritage: Marco gently scolds European elites over suicidal policies.

    Unlike the brutal scolding Vice President JD Vance delivered to the European elites gathered at the Munich Security Conference last year, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was much nicer to the old world elite. Instead of chiding them for becoming the tyrants their ancestors fought, he gently encouraged them to embrace and restore their great heritage.

    Rubio said America planned to revive its rich European-rooted culture and that it would be beneficial for the Europeans to do the same. He also reassured them that America still sees Western Europe as the parent civilization that it is. He used the word “intertwined” to describe the strong bond between the two continents.

    Rubio’s speech touched on a topic that Western elites have tried to ban us from discussing: the greatness of Western Civilization. While every other culture is allowed to be proud, as they should be, European cultures have been browbeaten into shutting up and accepting destruction.

    There is a reason the Insiders have targeted the West for destruction. Simply put, our values are incompatible with that of the totalitarian global technocracy they want to impose on the world.

    Check out my video for more on why Western Civ values are a bulwark against tyranny and what God says about real diversity.

  • The hidden power

    Remember when most people use to think that everyone who believed the world was run by shadowy dark forces were conspiracy nuts? That age is coming to an end.

    We have lived in a managed reality or a long time, but the last six years have red-pilled a massive amount of people to what is truly happening. I recently ran across the meme below, which does a good job of articulating this sentiment:

    But it gets worse. As Shannon Joy pointed out, the reason everything is falling apart is because there is a darkness at the seat of power in America.

    I recently asked myself how my zealous interest in the Epstein saga aligns with my primary identity as a Christian. I realized Epstein provides a glimpse into what all of those Biblical verses about Satan being the prince of this world means.

  • Why doesn't the government care about the crimes implied in the Epstein files?

    Isn’t it weird that our government keeps telling us to move on and forget about the criminality implied in the Epstein files? What kind of leaders tell the people they’re charged with serving to stop being outraged about an international rape network that involves some of the most powerful people in the world?

    That’s more than weird. That’s something far worse …

    It seems the people telling us to move on are so sociopathic, so void of basic human decency that they thought releasing the least depraved and disturbing portion of the files would satisfy us. This suggests that these people are so sick, so demented, that they don’t even realize how horrific what they allowed us to see is.

    So—what should we do?

  • Legacy media continues dying as Wapo axes 300 "journalists." But the elites have other ways to brainwash you.

    It’s always great news when a legacy media organ suffers a hit. In this case, it’s The Washington Post, which has been around since the 19th century.

    The Post has been a major cog in the Mockingbird Media machine. One of its own editors admitted in the 90s that the newspaper didn’t just report on policy— it shaped it. Fortunately, it will be able to do less of that since it’s losing 30 percent of its workforce.

    But just because the legacy media continues dying, it doesn’t meant the information battle is over. It’s only changing. Listen to what I have to say about that.

  • MAGA was never a cult.

    Trump is not even one year into this term and the coalition he has led for 10 years is in danger of completely collapsing.

    His neocon foreign policy, deficit spending, and attempt to make the Epstein saga go away without further transparency has alienated his most devoted supporters?

    Can he come back from this?

    Will he correct course?

  • How much of Nick Fuentes' popularity is a toxic reaction to legitimate grievances?

    The internet, especially the social media part of it, has turned politics into a soap opera. The latest episode centers around Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes.

    Carlson did another bad thing by talking to another bad person he wasn’t supposed to. The narrative gatekeepers always lose their minds when respectable people talk to the banished. They did this when Tucker talked to Putin, and they lost their minds when he talked to the president of Iran.

    Nevertheless, Tucker’s popularity continues undisturbed, his network continues along on its upward trajectory, and the haters continue providing reasons for people not to like them.

    It’s been weeks since the interview and the neocons in the political and punditry clubs are still losing their minds. But few seem to be asking a critical question at the center of all this drama: Why is Fuentes popular?

    If you manage to wade through the theatrics, the racist remarks, and other nonsense, you’ll realize that Fuentes rails against problems that we, as a society, should make right. People like that are never totally off. They’re never wrong about everything. They’re using legitimate grievances to build trust.

    In this video, I talk about the issues that, should we address them, would make people like Fuentes far less popular.

  • The REAL alien threat you need to watch out for

    Have you noticed the massive increase in mainstream UFO-alien coverage lately?

    Between nonstop chatter about 3I/Atlas, thousands of reports of UFO sightings on the Enigma app, and congressional hearings on UAPs, UFO talk has increased significantly. Moreover a polished documentary featuring lawmakers and a slew of “former” national security officials is debuting later this month.

    Something is going on. But what?

    Is our benevolent leadership oligarchy finally ready to tell us the truth? Doubtful.

    Whatever the truth about UFOs and aliens is, we know for certain that the powers-that-be have a long, long, track record of manipulating events and crises to suit their agendas. And two of their main agendas have been the eradication of Christianity and implementation of a world government.

    Watch this video to hear how these two agendas work with the alien narrative.

  • Was Bill Gates lying all along?

    Bill Gates doesn’t think climate change poses a disastrous threat to humanity, anymore—like he’d been saying it does for more than a decade.

    He recently said this on his blog: “Climate change is not the biggest threat to the lives and livelihoods of people in poor countries, and it won’t be in the future,” he said.

    He said something else that made sense. He suggested that people with money and influence should use their powers to do actual good in the world.

    It’s an astonishing reversal, begging the question: What gives? What is Bill Gates really up to?

    I have a few good guesses.
