The Defenestration of Tucker Carlson

Posted in Politics, tagged , , , , , , on April 30, 2023| 1 Comment »

“Looks Like He Made it While Waiting for a Table at the Cracker Barrel.” That was Jimmy Kimmel’s arrogant comment about Tucker Carlson’s video from which this image was taken.

Defenestration.  It’s an interesting word.  One that gets your attention. 

Literally, it means the act of throwing someone out of a window – for a Biblical example, think of Queen Jezebel. A more recent example is known in history as the Second Defenestration of Prague which took place in 1618 and is cited as a spark that set off the Thirty Years’ War. 

When used today, defenestration is commonly meant in a figurative sense.  That is the sudden or violent removal of someone from his position.  And it is in the metaphorical sense that I use the term in this instance. 

I confess I found Carlson’s work to be a breath of fresh air compared to the normal diet of talking points from network new programs.  He was, in my opinion, the only mainstream TV personality that was worth watching.  Any number of times I found myself watching his show in amazement at what he was talking about.  Not, mind you, that I was amazed at the content so much as I was that someone on a major network was actually saying it. 

On any given night, you could hear Carlson talking about replacement migration, the plight of men in modern America, opposing the war in Ukraine, defending the January 6th “insurrectionists,” criticizing the Federal Reserve’s practice of money printing, raising questions about the “most secure election in American history,” questioning the COVID cult including its most sacred mRNA gene therapy “vaccine” sacrament, skewering Critical Race Theory, and lambasting the LGBTQ agenda.  At this best, watching Carlson was like watching an independent YouTuber or reading a blog.  It was as close to an anti-corporate, anti-mainstream journalistic experience as I have seen in corporate-controlled media. 

Over the past week since the cancellation of Carlson’s show, there has been no end to the theories about why his popular program was canceled.  One article titled “5 Theories That Are Swirling Around The Internet About Why Fox News Fired Tucker Carlson” does a nice job summarizing the more popular theories making the rounds of the internet. 

For my part, I think there are two closely related reasons for his removal.  First, Carlson had the audacity to speak up for ordinary, white Americans and defend them from elites out to do them harm.  Second, this is part of the establishment plan to rig the 2024 presidential election for Joe Biden or whomever they plan to install in the White House next year.

Vatican Fiend Skulking Behind ESG

Posted in Globalism, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on April 23, 2023| 2 Comments »

Group photo of Antichrist and his fellow globalist fiends in the Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican. Yes, that’s really the name of this group. Note, to Pope Francis’ right is Lynn Forester de Rothchild, heiress of the Rothchild central banking dynasty, Mark Carney, former head of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, and Brian Moynihan, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Bank of America, one of America’s, and one of the world’s, largest financial institutions.

And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

  • 2 Corinthians 11:14

If you were to ask people what ESG is, odds are you’d get a blank stare.  On the other hand, if you were to ask people about the Bud Light ad campaign featuring transgender “woman” Dylan Mulvaney, there’s probably a better chance they’d know what you’re talking about. 

ESG is short for Environmental, Social, and Governance Investing.  According to Investopedia, ESG investing refers to a set of standards for a company’s behavior used by socially conscious investors to screen potential investments.”

Put differently, ESG is the investing philosophy pushing companies to pursue wokeness over profitability and is the theory of which Bud Light’s transgender ad campaign is the practice. 

The Dylan Mulvaney ad campaign, at least according to some American conservatives, has backfired on Anheuser Busch, leading to a boycott of the brand, a drop in the parent company’s stock, and falling sales.  Supporting the notion that the ad campaign has angered many customers is the report that the VP of marketing who headed the ad campaign has “taken a leave of absence.”   

Worth noting is that this is not Anheuser Busch’s first foray into woke advertising.  In 2016, the company ran an ad celebrating homosexual marriages for Gay Pride Month, a time of year formerly known as June, but in recent years is become a sodomite bacchanalia.

There are other examples of woke advertising.  A few years back. Gillette ran an ad campaign that took aim at its customer base, men.  I can’t speak for others, but I switched from using Gillette products and will never go back.

 Doubtless, other examples of woke advertising can be found.  What is remarkable about them, at least the examples cited above, is that they seem to contradict every assumption we have about the purpose of advertising.  If advertising is about getting people to like and to purchase your product, how does insulting your customer base help achieve that end?  It hardly seems like what we would expect in a capitalist system.

The Twitter Files: There’s Fascism in Your Social Media

Posted in Social Media, tagged , , , , , , , , on December 18, 2022| Leave a Comment »

Over the past few years, it’s been common to hear defenders of social media censorship retort to those who complain about, “Twitter is a private company, and they can ban whom they want.  If you don’t like it, go start your own Twitter!” 

One interesting aspect of this argument is that those who made it generally were individuals who were not known to respect laissez-faire capitalism or private property.  In fact, they tended to be socialists of one stripe or another. 

Those who complained about the censorship, generally those people who tended to favor political and economic liberty, then were wrongfooted.  Either they felt they had to call for government regulation of social media, which contradicted their free market principles or to make charges that the government was behind the censorship, at which point they’d be called “conspiracy theorists.”

“Conspiracy theorist” is one of those terms that seemingly everyone wants to avoid.  “I’m by no means a conspiracy theorist,” is a common turn of phrase people will use when they’re about to introduce an idea that sounds like a conspiracy theory.  It’s as if to believe in conspiracies is the very height of ignorance, and that one must deny conspiracies exist if he wants to remain a member of society in good standing. 

But conspiracies do exist and are even recognized in criminal law.  In many Western nations, one can be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.  In the Bible, we find many conspiracies. When Absalom sought to overthrow David, his plot was rightly described in the King James Bible as a conspiracy.  Twice, the Apostle Paul found himself the object of conspiracies to kill him.  The arrest and crucifixion of Christ was the culmination of a three-year-long conspiracy by the Jewish religious leaders to get rid of the man they perceived, rightly, as a threat to their power.  Doubtless, other examples of conspiracies can be found in the Bible, but these should be sufficient to make the point that conspiracies are not a figment of the imagination, but a documented historical reality. 

If he has done nothing else, Elon Musk has exposed for all the world to see that the “conspiracy theorists” were right.  As the Twitter Files have revealed, the government was deeply involved in the social media censorship business.  Not that there was any lack of evidence of this previously.  For example, the New York Post ran a headline on July 15, 2021, that read, “White House ‘flagging’ posts for Facebook to censor over COVID ‘misinformation.’” The Independent ran a piece on February 3, 2022, with the headline, “White House urges Spotify to take further action on Joe Rogan: “More can be done.’”  Why did the White House want Spotify to censor Joe Rogan?  It was due to the popular podcaster’s explosive interview with Dr. Robert Malone, who among other things, called the hysteria over Covid an example of “mass formation psychosis.”

The 2022 Midterms: A Preview

Posted in Politics, tagged , , , , , on November 6, 2022| 1 Comment »

“In our bones, we know democracy is at risk,” said Joe Biden at Union Station, Washington D.C., 11/2/2022.

“Donald Trump if the Democrats don’t steal it.”

Two years ago about this time, I was sitting in a friend’s family room watching the final Trump/Biden presidential debate.  My friend had asked me who I thought was going to win the 2020 presidential election and I replied to him that I thought Trump would win if the Democrats didn’t steal the election.

As things turned out, the Democrats with a little help from their friends in the Deep State, major corporations, the courts, the Covid lockdowns, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, the mainstream media, major social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, the entertainment industry, pollsters, schools, universities, and various and sundry thugs in the Democrat party, etc. did manage to steal the election for the most incompetent and uninspiring presidential candidate in my lifetime, possibly in all of American history. 

The theft of the 2020 presidential election and the ability of the Democrats and their helpers to make it stick bodes ill for the future of our republic.  The successful steal, perhaps it’s better to call it a coup d’état, of the 2020 election has led many to the opinion that we cannot vote our way out of the problems currently facing our nation.  Count me among their number. 

But for all that, the aim of this post is not to discourage people from voting, giving up, and heading for their survival bunker in the hills.  As Christians, we are called to be salt and light in a lost and dying world, and this includes carrying out our civic responsibilities the best we are able.  Further, we do not know the future.  Perhaps the Lord will have mercy on America for the sake of his elect and save us from the oppressive darkness we see gathering all around us.  He’s done that sort of thing before, and he can do it again if he so wills.  Has the arm of the Lord been shortened?

For this reason, it’s not my purpose today to fill people with dread and fear of the future.  I’ll leave that to the Democrats.  Rather, my aim is to realistically assess the situation facing America in November 2022 and offer a few suggestions and perhaps even venture a prognostication or two.

The Biden Regime: What Are Christian Patriots to Do?

And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

  • II Kings 11:1

The United States of America is under an occupation government. 

At the present, we have a government that is not of, by, or for the people.  Rather, we have one that is of, by, and for the Deep Staters, the bansksters, the crony capitalists, the globalists, and the Vaticanites. 

That Joe Biden is an illegitimate president ought to be clear to all.  There are any number of ways to know that Biden was not legitimately elected by the American people and the Electoral College. Perhaps the easiest way to know the fix was in is to look at what happened when the Hunter Biden laptop story broke shortly before the 2020 vote. 

The New York Post broke the story in October 2020, and immediately the Democratic/Deep State machine went to work to discredit it.  The Deep State intelligence agencies went to work with a letter signed by 51 intelligence professionals saying that the story smacked of Russian disinformation.  The New York Post had its Twitter account suspended and no reference to the “laptop from hell” was permitted on Facebook and probably any other major social media platform. 

A year and a half later, whaddya know, all the major propaganda outlets – by this I mean the New York Times, The Washington Post, and others of their ilk – came out and finally acknowledged that the laptop is real. 

Of course, it was real.  That was obvious at the time.  And we don’t need the lying mainstream news outlets to confirm this for us.  But the fact that the Times and others lied to the public about the laptop until well after the election shows that the fix was in. 

Biden is an illegitimate president.

Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion #9: The Thug Politics of the Democrats

Posted in Rum Romanism and Rebellion, tagged , , , , , , , , , on August 14, 2022| 1 Comment »

Tammany Hall as a ferocious tiger killing democracy by Thomas Nast, Harper’s Weekly.

“We are Republicans, and don’t propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion.  We are loyal to our flag.”

  • Dr. Samuel D. Burchard

Last week brought with it a couple of major events, neither one of them good for America.  In the first place, there was the passage of the comically, propagandistically names Inflation Reduction Act, an Act guaranteed to increase, not decrease inflation.  Not to mention an Act that sics 87,000 new IRS agents on the American people – more specifically, it sics them on the middle class and small businesses that don’t have the legions of tax lawyers and accountants to fight back against the IRS – an Act that implements parts of the liberty destroying, World Economic Forum, Vatican approved Green New Deal, and an Act that manages to extend Obamacare subsidies passed as part of Covid relief.   

In short, it’s another unconstitutional boondoggle that will do exactly the opposite of what it claims it will do. 

Then there’s the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago.  Many writers have rightly compared this raid to the sort of thing one would expect in a banana republic.  Given the disturbing trend of both the Democrats generally, and the Biden Regime in particular, to politicize justice, this raid must be seen as a continuation of their attempts to outlaw their political opponents. 

One can find many articles in the mainstream and even alternate conservative and libertarian press denouncing both the Inflation Reduction Act and the raid on Mar-a-Lago.  But none of them, in this writer’s opinion, get to the heart of the matter.

Rome Watch 13: Grab Bag

Posted in Rome Watch, tagged , , , , , , on August 7, 2022| Leave a Comment »

Vatican City, though small in size, has a worldwide footprint.

It’s been a while since I wrote an installment of Rome Watch, a series of posts designed to highlight the anti-Christian political beliefs and activities of the Roman Catholic Church-State. 

I titled this one “Grab Bag” due to it being a collection of short pieces all with the central theme of Rome’s ongoing attack on political and economic liberty throughout the world. 

Let The Eat Bugs!

Marie Antoinette is famously quoted as saying “Let them eat cake!”  This saying is often held up as a model of aristocratic arrogance directed against the poor.  But while Marie Antoinette is long gone, her spirit marches on.  The 21st century variant on her famous saying seems to be “Let them eat bugs.”  And it should come as no surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention that Pope Francis has joined in on the chorus of voices calling for all of us to “reimagine” our eating habits.   

And while Pope Francis didn’t come right out and tell his audience at the EU Youth Conference to eat bugs, he did lecture them to eat less meat. 

But the Pope’s message was right in line with the World Economic Forum (WEF) that famously put out a video a few years ago saying that by 2030 “You’ll own nothing and be happy.” While I’m entirely sure the Bond villain types that made up the WEF certainly would like it if ordinary people owned nothing by 2030, I’m not sure they’re going to get there. And if they do, of a truth none of us will be happy. 

But what’s often overlooked in that same video is at the 0:34 mark we are told by our “betters” that we’ll eat much less meat.  Further, we are lectured, it meat will be “an occasional treat,” kind of like when you give your dog a bone.  This will be “for the good of the environment and our health.” 

Interesting that the Pope, in his letter to the attendees of the EU Youth Forum, made this same argument.  He wrote, “it would be appropriate to consume less meat:  this too can help save the environment.”

So, what’s the connection to eating bugs?  It’s this.  This WEF has long pushed eating bugs as a solution to what it sees as an environmental problem caused by too many people.  To solve this “problem,” the WEF believes we all must eat less meat and more bugs.  Just take a look at the 2021 WEF video titled “Insects could soon be appearing on restaurant menus in Europe.”

Klaus Schwab really, really wants you to eat the bugs to save the planet.  So does the Pope, but he’s not honest enough to come out and say so.
