Los Angeles-based psychiatrist Mark McDonald noticed early in 2020 how badly children and families were faring under the Covid lockdown panic: massive levels of stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, domestic violence, suicidal ideation—all connected to the fear being stoked by public health authorities and their media lapdogs. A member of America’s Frontline Doctors, McDonald has been outspoken and has gained a whole new batch of enemies—and friends. He put his message in one place, a new book titled, United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis. He sat down with me to discuss how to see through the lies and take back you

I promise, you will be astounded the sheer breadth and variety—not to mention longevity—of the 97-year-old Mr. Senensky’s career. A partial list of hit shows he directed would include The Twilight Zone, the original Star Trek, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Dr. Kildare, Mission Impossible, The Fugitive, The Waltons, FBI, and Mannix. I thought with the crazy upside down status of the world these days, I would take a break from heavier topics and showcase an insightful and nostalgic visit the golden age of television to the lens of a legendary director whose work is still enjoyed by untold millions of people. In this Episode You Will Learn  How a young man from Mason City, Iowa, fell into show business and rose to the top of his profession What it was like to realize he was going to direct the legendary Barbara Stanwyck A typical day in the life of a busy Hollywood TV director Stories of conflict with actors and Studio “suits” How show business has changed with the culture and vice versa Lessons of perseverance and leading the life you want to live not the one others force on you  Resources Mentioned in this Episode  Ralph Senensky’s website  The Name Above the Title, by Frank Capra The Light On Her Face by Joseph Walker

It comes in many forms, but in Canada it’s more and more becoming codified in law. As Dr. Jordan Peterson (and those observing his plight) have learned, the PC Game now has legal teeth and real-world consequences for those who don’t want to play. Dr. Peterson is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a clinical psychologist. He recently posted a series of lectures on his YouTube channel with titles like “Professor Against Political Correctness,” “Fear and the Law,” and “The University of Toronto Requests My Silence.” These lectures were delivered after the University’s HR department mandated that “trans people” be called by of the newfangled pronouns like zie, hir, ey, em, eir, they, co, xe, to name but a sample of the absurdist verbiage that has been coughed up by activists. The good professor is not having any of it. And he’s putting his job on the line—and whatever other punishments that may be in store if he is hauled before the Ontario Human Rights Commission (sounds cuddly, don’t it?). For if Bill C-16 is passed in Canada at the federal level, “gender identity” and “gender expression” join the List of the Prohibited and constitute actionable grounds of discrimination. New York City already has a similar law. Those guilty of “mis-gendering” must pay a $250,000 fine. The Big Apple recognizes 31 gender identities, by the way. But this isn’t merely about pronouns. What’s at stake is whether the government or any other institution should be allowed to control and proscribe human speech, especially when the phrasing of the controllers are vague and impossible to interpret consistently, let alone police equitably. When Italy’s fascist dictator Benito Mussolini sought a more “virile language” for his machismo vision of the Italian nation, he required the comradely voi (the plural “y’all”) for Lei, the feminine form. Under his rule, voi was obligatory in schools, public offices, movie subtitles, radio shows, and public ceremonies. Not surprisingly, Italians dropped the fear-based nonsense and reverted to the traditional Lei when the hated dictator fell from power.

The award-winning Catholic ethicist joins me this week to talk about how he came to discover the evidence that Jorge Mario Bergoglio is our latest anti-pope (after several centuries), and why this conclusion can no longer be called fringe or rad trad in nature. After this interview, you will know:  The step-by-step journey taken by Hanley toward the full clarity of the evidence  The difference between the canonical crimes of the St. Gallen Mafia in the March 2013 Conclave and the Declaratio read by His Holiness on February 11, 2013 The difference between munus and ministerium and why it matters Which key word is missing from Benedict’s “abdication”  Why the evidence and its conclusion have nothing to do with sedevacantism The real meaning of antipope Clues that the Pope knows he created an Impeded See and is therefore the true office holder of the papacy What ordinary Catholics should and can do in light of this evidence  Resources Mentioned   Francis: The First Anti-Pope in Centuries?

#382: More Evidence that Benedict XVI is Pope —Matthew Hanley

Kyle Kemper is an entrepreneur, husband, and father. His mother Margaret (whose former husband was Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau) is also Justin Trudeau’s mother by her second husband Fred Kemper. This family connection to Justin gives Kyle Kemper a unique personal perspective on the tyrannical way his half-brother is governing Canada with police state tactics. The cryptocurrency guru (he founded and runs Swiss Key) has choice words for what has happened to his native land during the (planned, fake, oligarchic) Covid “crisis,” thanks in large part to Justin’s role as a sock puppet to powerful international interests.

For the past fifty years he has been communicating to his audience his profound love of the traditional and authentic Mystical and Biblical Theology that has inspired all his writings on prayer. During his twelve year s as Director of a London Retreat and Conference Centre , followed by his tenure as the Dean of Studies at the Nation al Catholic Radio and Television Centre in London , he gained direct experience of the decline in the moral and spiritual life of the Church. After lecturing on Mystical theology at the invitation of the Angelicum, the Dominican University in Rome , he has spent the rest of his life trying to inspire Catholics with the truth. That is to return without delay to the profound contemplative spirituality bequeathed to the early Church by Jesus Christ himself and its development from St Paul , to St Teresa of Avila and St John of the Cross. He has written ten books on prayer and the spiritual life, some of which have been translated into thirteen languages.
