The situation in France has escalated alarmingly fast. Police are reporting that “violent minorities” are wreaking havoc across the county — setting things on fire, looting, and wreaking widespread destruction.The chaos erupted after a police officer shoot a North African teenager who allegedly failed to cooperate, threatened the police, and sped off in his car. The current scene playing out in France looks a lot like the US “color revolution” that was unleashed after George Floyd’s death. It’s almost as if there’s a predetermined script that’s everyone’s following. France is much smaller than the U.S., so their “George Floyd Revolution”...

Fresh off his claim of victory in capturing the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, Russian mercenary boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin warned that Moscow’s brutal war could plunge Russia into turmoil similar to the 1917 revolution unless its detached, wealthy elites become more directly committed to the conflict. In a lengthy interview with Konstantin Dolgov, a political operative and pro-war blogger, Prigozhin, the founder and leader of the Wagner mercenary group, also asserted that the war has backfired spectacularly by failing to “demilitarize” Ukraine, one of President Vladimir Putin’s stated aims of the invasion. He also called for totalitarian policies. “We are in...

Did you notice that what should have been an obvious moral victory for the right a few weeks ago—when a transgender lunatic in Tennessee murdered six Christians—became instead, a civil rights triumph for the far left?Instead of seeing headlines afterward like, “Left-wing terror targets innocent people for their religious beliefs during an apparent left-wing hate crime,” we got headlines about the racist Tennessee Republicans who expelled two black state representatives.Color revolutions have finally come to the United States, courtesy of our leaders. The target is clear: weak red state governments, which are going to be toppled, one by one.

Was the American Revolution an act of rebellion against God and the Bible? Many today claim that it was. For example, John McArthur (Pastor of Grace Community Church and host of the national radio program “Grace to You”) asserts: People have mistakenly linked democracy and political freedom to Christianity. That’s why many contemporary evangelicals believe the American Revolution was completely justified, both politically and scripturally. They follow the arguments of the Declaration of Independence, which declares that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are Divinely endowed rights. . . . But such a position is contrary to the clear...

Victor Davis Hanson joined Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night to react to New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former President Donald Trump. Hanson characterized it as “the worst example of third-world election tampering” and said, “We are in the middle of a revolution that we don’t even know we’re in.”We’re seeing war clouds gather abroad, and I think the United States’ economy, politically, foreign policy, is at a nadir, and we’ve lost now all credibility that we’ve stored up over 233 [years]. We have no more moral credibility to lecture people about the democratic process.They...

We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary. The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020. It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support. The American people want affordable power and fuel and energy autonomy. They do not want a Green New Deal that results in dependence on the Middle East. They want fiscal sobriety, not a permanent stagflationary economy marked by bank failures, soaring interest rates, crony capitalism,...

Does this sound familiar to you, the public? In May 1919, at Dusseldorf, Germany, Allied forces captured a very significant document: “Communist Rules for Revolution.” As you read these “rules” now, over 100 years later, keep in mind what you are reading and hearing every day in the news media: A. Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness. B. Get control of all means of publicity, thereby: 1. Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities. 2. Divide...

The ongoing demonstrations in Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel are about more than just opposing the specific policies that make up the government’s judicial reform package. They are about removing from power Benjamin Netanyahu, whom protesters say is a dictator and a criminal who cannot legitimately hold the office of prime minister.And according to some Israeli and American officials, those domestic opponents bent on overthrowing Netanyahu are being fueled by money from the US Administration of President Joe Biden.Last week US Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) charged Biden and the Democratic Party with “trying to sabotage Netanyahu.”Citing a report...

The White House issued a rebuke of Tucker Carlson’s January 6 video footage on Wednesday, suggesting it was a “false depiction” and adding it was roundly condemned by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and the Capitol Police chief. On Monday and Tuesday, Carlson aired video footage revealing Capitol Police escorting Shaman Jacob Chansley inside the Capitol. In addition, Carlson argued the footage showed that Democrats knew Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick had not been murdered during the riot but misled the public about his death, and that Ray Epps lied to the committee about when he left...

“We talked primarily about what [Zelensky’s] needs are when it comes to winning this war,” McCaul said, noting Zelensky would provide the Republicans with HIS LIST of desired items. We have strong bipartisan support to give Ukraine everything that it needs to win. The congressmen’s visit comes one day after Biden also made an unannounced appearance in Ukraine… .

George Washington was truly the “Indispensable Man”. He commanded a consistently ragged, underfed, seldom paid, often mutinous amalgam of regulars and militia through over eight years of war. Toward the end after Yorktown in October 1781, his officers were determined to confront the Continental Congress with a list of truly legitimate, morally imperative grievances this body had ignored.Washington opposed this initiative, which for him was brought into sharp focus by publication in 1775 of the first volume of Edward Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. He foresaw in this undertaking an outcome similar to generals leading legions marching...

So far this month, we've already written two piece about disturbing 'woke' excesses. One involved pro-criminal "social justice" and "equity"-minded policies resulting in the murder of a woman of color in Portland. If you think that's an uncharitable exaggeration, read the original story, or my summary of it, and judge for yourself. Relatedly, the Los Angeles Times just wrote about Portland's left-wing lurch toward failed city status, which is quite an indictment, given the day-to-day realities in the city that newspaper serves. The report is headlined, 'What’s the matter with Portland? Shootings, theft and other crime test city’s progressive strain'...

A self-identified "Pan-Africanist" professor, said that White capitalist America needed to be dismantled and called the stock market "racist." Melina Abdullah is a professor of Pan-African Studies at California State University. Her role in academia is "intrinsically linked to broader struggles for the liberation of oppressed people." She co-founded and is active in the Los Angeles Black Lives Matter chapter and is currently suing the national branch for allegedly siphoning off $10 million for a personal consulting agency. Abdullah believes that capitalism needs to be dismantled and said that it was designed to oppress Black people. "When we feed capitalism,...

In the classic work, “Earth’s Earliest Ages” English theologian G.H. Pember (1837-1910) examines the role of satanic forces in the first destruction of earth under God’s judgment and compares them to the explosion of open contact with evil spirits, ancient Egyptian Hermetic magic, Theosophy, Buddhism, reincarnation, karma, the Mystery religion of Babylon, astrology and mesmeric healings sweeping across Christendom.It was during the Renaissance that many influential Christians at the highest levels of Church and society had returned to the occult Wisdom Teachings that originated on the plains of Shinar then traveled to ancient Egypt with Hermes Trismegistus.

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that “today’s woke revolution” has striking similarities to China’s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s under Chairman Mao and “we do have our own Red Guard here, but they do their rampaging on Twitter.” Maher stated, “Yesterday, I asked ChatGPT, are there any similarities between today’s woke revolution and Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s? And it wrote back, how long do you have? Because, again, in China, we saw how a revolutionary thought he could do a page-one rewrite of humans. Mao ordered his citizens to throw off...

The early nineteenth century was a period of immense change in the United States. Economic, political, demographic, and territorial transformations radically altered how Americans thought about themselves, their communities, and the rapidly expanding nation. It was a period of great optimism, with the possibilities of self-governance infusing everything from religion to politics. Yet it was also a period of great conflict, as the benefits of industrialization and democratization increasingly accrued along starkly uneven lines of gender, race, and class. Westward expansion distanced urban dwellers from frontier settlers more than ever before, even as the technological innovations of industrialization—like the telegraph...

Leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic, roughly 95% of commercial office space was occupied across the United States, according to US National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) – a nonprofit, non-government organization. By March 2020, occupancy plummeted to 10%, and has only recovered to 47%, according to a new NBER report which claims $453 billion in office commercial real estate value has been wiped out in an "office real estate apocalypse."Around the US, that resulted in a 17.5 percent decrease in lease revenue between January 2020, and May 2022, and not only because fewer offices were being occupied, but also...

https://www.espn.com/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/story/4816778/riots-in-brussels-after-morocco-beat-belgium-at-world-cup?platform=amp Protests against strict Covid measures in China have spilled into a second night and spread to the biggest cities. Demonstrators gathered in the capital Beijing and the financial hub Shanghai. Many held up blank pieces of paper to express their discontent and acknowledge the censorship. Some have, however, gone as far as calling for President Xi Jinping to step down. Millions have been affected by nearly three years of mass testing, quarantines and snap lockdowns.
