Easter Sermonette
I could launch off with a long polemic on the subject of Easter, but I'm not going to. We live in perilous times where a humble and contrite heart is called for if we are to petition Heaven for help.

Editorial: Silver or lead...it's a common question posited by narocos. You either take the silver and play ball or you get the lead. It's not unlike the pressure brought to bear on anyone who says that President Trump was a brilliant president, or that they are not gay/trans, or whatever woke BS is circulated at the time.

The New Cold War
Deciphering the truth has become a difficult task in the United States, not least because the misinformation apparatus is both enormous and tied directly to the imperatives of imperial state itself. Whatever separation that existed between the military industrial complex, the U.S. corporate media, and the tech and corporate oligarchs is a thing...
