How The Question “Who Benefits From This?” Can Change Your Life

“Cui bono?” is a phrase you’ll often see used on conspiracy-minded Youtube videos and discussion forums. It’s Latin for “Who benefits?”, and it refers to a perspective in legal analysis that the one who stands most to gain from a crime is often the perpetrator. It’s the “motive” part of “means, motive and opportunity“. The term comes up in conspiracy circles a lot because motive is often the biggest plot hole in the official story promoted by the authorized narrative managers of the political/media class about a given event. The alleged Douma chemical attack last year, for example, had no discernible benefit to the Assad government ...

Muslim Who’s Fed Up with Leftist Extremists Crushes Member of ‘the Squad’ Demanding Muslims Agree with Her Imam Scorches 'Squad' Member 'Who The Hell Are You...' Volume 90% By Joe Saunders Published July 18, 2019 at 4:09pm This is one Muslim voice Rep. Ayanna Pressley doesn’t want to hear. The Massachusetts Democrat delivered a speech at the weekend’s Netroots Nation convention in Philadelphia that all but declared she could speak for Muslims (and other groups) everywhere. And Imam Mohammad Tawhidi wasn’t buying it. Pressley — a charter member of “the squad” of progressive Democrats that also includes Reps. ...

Just In: Anti-Trump Pastor Fired From Liberal Church After Alleged Sex Toy Shopping Spree with Ministers Anti-Trump Pastor Got Caught In Sex Shop With Church's Credit Card Volume 90% By Ryan Ledendecker Published July 12, 2019 at 4:12pm The first female minister of a famously progressive church in Manhattan, New York recently lost her position after allegedly taking a group of fellow ministers on a bizarre sex toy shopping spree. Rev. Amy Butler, who’s known at Riverside Church as “Pastor Amy,” was a rising star famous for her anti-Trump charades. That is, until she took a member of the church and two fellow ministers to a store called “Smitten ...
The Muslim Brotherhood as an Auxiliary Force of MI6 and the CIA

We are continuing the publication of Thierry Meyssan’s new book, « Right Before Our Eyes ». In this episode, he describes the way in which President Jimmy Carter and his national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, used the terrorist capacities of the Muslim Brotherhood against the Soviets. In 1972-1973, an official from the Foreign Office – and probably MI6 as well – Sir James Craig, together with the British ambassador to Egypt, Sir Richard Beaumont, began an intense lobbying campaign aimed at harnessing the Muslim Brotherhood for use by the United Kingdom and the United States in the struggle against the Marxists and the nationalists, not only in Egypt, ...

Rep. Peter King of New York said recently there will be plenty of dirt revealed on the FBI and CIA after Attorney General Bill Barr concludes his investigation into the efforts to sabotage Donald Trump’s election campaign. I have news for Mr. King. Both agencies have been involved in nasty business for decades, the difference is most of the nastiness focused on ordinary citizens, including your humble blogger, and not rich crony capitalists like Trump. In the mid-1970s, the Church Committee revealed all manner of illegal and unethical behavior by both the FBI and the CIA, mostly directed against political opponents of the state. For the FBI, it was COINTELPRO, while the CIA ...

People like to talk about all kinds of “isms” – conservatism, liberalism, capitalism, communism, multiculturalism, Islamism, globalism, etc. In reality, there is only one ism that is relevant to our age: consumerism. Both as an ideology and as an applied science, consumerism is the idea that human beings exist to produce and consume products in an endless cycle of pleasure-pain exchange. It is a complete image of man’s purpose in the universe, and it works on all people. For all of mankind’s existence in the universe, we viewed ourselves mainly as divine beings, with a relationship to God, with the purpose of our existence consisting of two things: ...
Martin Luther King, the Sex Tapes, and the New American Dogmatism

The news broke (in England) back on May 26 that David Garrow, the Pulitzer Prize winning biographer of the late Martin Luther King Jr., had unearthed a cache of new documents, many supposedly under strict lock-and-key at least until 2027, detailing some horrific cases of sexual activity by King, as many as forty such incidents, and one in which King stood by, watched and egged on a fellow black Baptist minister in rape. Here is the background: On January 31, 1977, Federal District Judge John Lewis Smith signed a court order that instructed the FBI to deposit all of its extensive electronic surveillance material—audio tapes, notes accompanying, etc.—with the National Archives, ...

On November 27, 1095, Pope Urban II mounted a platform set up in a meadow outside the French city of Clermont, surrounded in all directions by an immense crowd. This is precisely the point where history began as far as the mainstream narrative of the Crusades is concerned. In 1999, the New York Times had solemnly proposed that the Crusades were comparable to Hitler’s atrocities or to the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. And this is precisely where the mainstream narrative of this history ends. God’s Battalions: The Case for the Crusades, by Rodney Stark This book was recommended to me in the comments of a recent post I had written on the topic of the Crusades, where I offered ...

By Everyone not lying to themselves predicted when the federal government under Bill Clinton – aided and abetted by Lutheran Social Services, Catholic Charities and World Relief Minnesota -- plopped 30,000 Somalis down into the midst of the kind, virtue-signaling, eager-to-help Midwesterners of Minneapolis (of which I am one) that it would lead to some grave consequences for our community. Now, due to continuing refugee placements as well as chain migration there are an estimated 80,000 Somalis living in the Twin Cities metro area, or more like 79,000 if you subtract those who’ve left the country to join terrorist organizations like ISIS. Anyhoo, here’s a week ...

Pete Buttigieg Equates Radical Shia And Wahhabi Islam With Christianity 4:48 PM 05/17/2019 | US Joshua Gill | Religion Reporter Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg equated radical Shia Islam and the Islamic ideology behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks with Christianity’s capacity for extremism Friday. Buttigieg made the comparison during a Friday radio interview with Hugh Hewitt, arguing that radical Islam, like Christian-motivated extremism,” can have a thousand different flavors.” His comments came in response to the question of whether he believed that radical Iranian Shia Islam was more dangerous than Wahhabi Islam — a variant of Islam that ...

Beneath the nostalgic veneer lurks sex trafficking, addiction, and a future diminishing away. . Main Street doubles as a state highway, so there is no lack of admirers. Yet look a little closer, maybe take a stroll in front of the house or step inside, and the rustic charm soon dissipates. The front door, the siding, the white picket fence, are all covered in soot from the passing vehicles. That same traffic is audible, at all hours of the day and night, from every bedroom in the house. It’s an apt metaphor, the owner of the house told me, for what it’s like to live in a scenic country town—attractive at first glance, but dirty and noisome when more carefully examined. The ...
Sacraments of the American Civil Religion

One myth that Americans live by is the separation of church and state. Some like the idea; others hate it; but the irony is that church and state were not separated at the founding of the United States and are not separate now. In fact, they were united in the sense that the state is a church — the Church of America — and you can’t separate a thing from itself. The religion this church administers is not Catholicism, Protestantism, Judaism, Islam, or anything else that comes to mind when most people think the word religion. It’s Americanism, a species of nationalism. Nationalism and religion are cut from the same cloth. ~ Sheldon Richman The American civil religion has ...

Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan will not be part of Harvey Weinstein’s $44 million settlement, the actresses announced on Twitter. “My lawsuit against #harveyweinstein is ongoing and I intend to take him to trial,” Judd posted on Friday, with a McGowan responding late into the morning, “I’m not part of this either. Ashley Judd says she’s not part of Harvey Weinstein’s $44 million settlement.” The tweet came one day after it was announced on Thursday that Weinstein, the New York Attorney General’s office, former members of the Weinstein Co. board, and several women who have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct have tentatively reached a $44 ...

Catholic League Condemns Calif. Confessional Bill Catholic League President Bill Donohue (Marty Lederhandler/AP) By Jeffrey Rodack | Friday, 24 May 2019 12:22 PM Catholic League President Bill Donohue blasted passage a bill by the California State Senate, which he says will “require” priests “to violate the seal of confessional.” State senators voted 30-4 to approve the bill requiring Catholic priests to report to civil authorities when a penitent confesses to sexual abuse of a minor. Donohue, in an emailed statement, called the bill “a frontal assault on religious freedom.” This bill is absolutely unenforceable,” he said. “No priest is ...
Leftists Rage After NYT Reports The 'Happiest Of All Wives' Are Religious Conservatives

The New York Times caused a mass triggering on Monday after publishing a report showing religious conservative women have the happiest marriages. "It turns out that the happiest of all wives in America are religious conservatives, followed by their religious progressive counterparts," the NY Times reported late Sunday. "Fully 73 percent of wives who hold conservative gender values and attend religious services regularly with their husbands have high-quality marriages." "When it comes to relationship quality, there is a J-curve in women’s marital happiness, with women on the left and the right enjoying higher quality marriages than those in the middle -- but ...
Why School Compulsory-Attendance Laws?

14Imagine if Congress were to enact a law that required everyone to attend church on Sundays. The overwhelming majority of Americans would go up in arms. The concept of religious liberty is so deeply ingrained in our American heritage that there is no way that people, including devout Christians, would accept such a law. That heritage was enshrined in the First Amendment, which prohibits Congress from enacting such a law. Now, suppose things had been the exact opposite. Suppose that from the beginning, the Constitution had authorized Congress to enact compulsory church-attendance laws. Suppose that immediately after the Constitution called the federal government into existence, Congress ...

Evangelical leaders, Christian leaders, the Religious Right, TV evangelists: Call them what you will. So many of them have lost all claim to the high road. They have not only lost their integrity and honesty, many of them are nothing more than self-aggrandizing spiritual prostitutes. They have become little more than pandering, groveling, bootlicking toadies for political potentates—one political potentate in particular: President Donald Trump. I don’t mind so much these pandering preachers saying they support the adulterous, philandering, lying, warmongering, bottom-feeder Donald Trump because his politics—not his personal life, mind you, just his politics—are ...

Yahweh’s Trojan Horse into the Gentile City Is the Church the whore of Yahweh? I concluded an earlier article by what I regard as the most important “revelation” of modern biblical scholarship, one that has the potential to free the Western world from a two-thousand-year-old psychopathic bond: the jealous Yahweh was originally just the national god of Israel, repackaged into “the God of Heaven and Earth” during the Babylonian Exile, as part of a public relations campaign aimed at Persians, then Greeks and ultimately Romans. The resulting biblical notion that the universal Creator became Israel’s national god at the time of Moses, is thus exposed as a ...

Landlord to Pay Almost $700,000 After Refusing to Rent to Muslim Tenants Jenni Fink 1 hr ago A Denver, Colorado, landlord has agreed to pay three men a total of $675,000 as part of a settlement after she was recorded telling her tenant to find an “American person” to sublet her property instead of a father and son, who were Muslim. Rashad Khan, a Muslim, wanted to expand his Boulder, Colorado, restaurant Curry N Kebob into a space in Denver. However, when the current tenant, Craig Caldwell, told landlord Katina Gatchis of the sublet plans, he claimed Gatchis rejected the proposal because of Khan's religion. Almost a year after they were denied, Khan, his father, Zuned, and ...

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently recounted to an audience at Texas A&M University that when he was head of the Central Intelligence Agency he was responsible for “lying, cheating and stealing” to benefit the United States. “Like we had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.” The Secretary made the comment with a grin, noting that when he was a cadet at West Point he subscribed to the Academy honor code, which stated that “You will not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do.” The largely student audience clearly appreciated and irony and laughed and applauded, though it is not clear what they made of ...

I don’t like to throw inflammatory epithets around casually. Words like “fascist” are overused to the point that they have become almost meaningless. But sometimes, the word is simply an accurate description of a policy or a person. This is one of those cases. This week, the Washington Post ran an off-the-rails opinion piece titled “Anti-vaxxers are dangerous. Make them face isolation, fines, arrests.” It would be easy to mistake this piece for an attempt at satire, but I’m pretty sure it’s not. And it’s not the first time that calls for state violence against those who choose not to vaccinate–or even to adhere completely to the CDC vaccine ...

“The attack on the Jew . . . is an attack on Christianity itself and on the Judeo-Christian basis of our Western civilization.” San Francisco Chronicle (Oct. 9, 1947) The notion that Western civilization rests on a Judeo-Christian basis is very largely an invention of the 1940s, when Jews felt a sudden and unprecedented desire to join the Western club and lock arms with their Christian “brothers.” Although a palpable oxymoron, the phrase prospered in the years that followed, and is now well established as one of the hardier weeds in the unlovely garden of American political cant. Obviously, there can be no such thing as Judeo-Christian values when Jews specifically ...
