The 2023 MET Gala gathered celebrities such as Doja Cat, Bad Bunny, and Lil Nas X. And nearly all of them wore ridiculous or embarrassing outfits. Why is that? Because they’re industry slaves and they’re treated as such. Here’s a look at this yearly parade of industry pawns.

UN Issues Rare Condemnation As Zelensky Moves To Evict More Monks, Seize Churches – ZeroHedge 3/27/23

Source: ZeroHedge.com

The United Nation’s human rights watchdog has voiced alarm over the Zelensky government’s targeting of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) in a report published on Friday. The UOC, which still maintains communion with the Russian Orthodox Church, has seen its priests and monks expelled from some churches and monasteries of late, after the Ukrainian government has sought to bolster a rival nationalist church, also through controversial legislation.

Have the Ancient Gods Returned? – Dr. Naomi Wolf 2/23/23

Is a Seemingly Far-Fetched Premise, Unfolding After All?

These days, to my surprise, people want to talk to me about evil.

In a Substack essay last year, and in my book The Bodies of Others, I raised a question about existential, metaphysical darkness.

I concluded that I had looked at the events of the past two and a half years using all of my classical education, my critical thinking skills, my knowledge of Western and global history and politics; and that, using these tools, I could not explain the years 2020-present.

Indeed I could not explain them in ordinary material, political or historical terms at all.

This is not how human history ordinarily operates.

Government or State? – BionicMosquito 12/22/22

Source: bionicmosquito.blogspot.com

Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop, in conversation with Derek Dobalian, ask the question: Should Christians Hate the State?  To which many Christians would reply with the first verse of Romans 13:

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.

Of course, a more appropriate Christian reply would be based on the command that we are to love our enemies, but as most of us still haven’t successfully worked through the love God and love our neighbors part, this is much to ask at the moment.  But I digress.

How the State Seized Control of Marriage – RyanMcMaken 12/1/22

Source: Mises.org

Both the US Senate and the House of Representatives are expected to pass new same-sex marriage legislation in coming days. The legislation is expected to codify what is already de facto law in the US under the US Supreme Court’s ruling in Obgerfell v. Hodges. The legislation further solidities federal law stating that states are required to recognize same-sex marriages that are legal in other US member states. The legislation also ensures that same-sex spouses will continue to be eligible for federal benefits through programs like Medicare and Social Security. The legislation does not mandate that each state government establish its own provisions for same-sex unions, however.

The American “War for Righteousness” is a War for Evil – BoydCathey 10/29/22

Friends,

Back on October 25, 2022 Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) celebrated the withdrawal by the Democratic congressional “progressive caucus” of their abortive letter (October 24) imploring the Biden administration to engage in serious negotiations with Russia and Ukraine to possibly end the bloody conflict in Eastern Europe that threatens rapidly to become a nuclear conflagration which could end life on earth as we know it.

The video “Sweetest Pie” is replete with symbolism that turns this “sexy song” into a disturbing celebration of satanism and the elite’s toxic brand of feminism. Here’s a look at the origins and the meaning of the symbols in this outlandish video….

The Scandal of Lent in an Era of Self-Justification – HumanEvents 3/21/22

Source: HumanEvents.com

Lent is an annual period of a little more than a month that precedes Easter on the Christian calendar. Easter, of course, is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Lent represents a spiritual preparation for that celebration: it is a period of personal repentance. The fact that these details must be clarified for some readers is one more indicator of the rapid secularization of American society. There was a time only a few decades ago when the average citizen could be assumed to know these things. Today, one can’t be too sure.
