Academic left wing cultist Chris Hedges calls out his right wing counterpart in a short essay published today on his YouTube channel.

Hedges always leans hard into all the cliches of the left wing of the jewish bird of prey.  Reducing the world — and especially America’s — current crisis to politics as existential he ominously concludes suggesting Trump may cancel the midterms to fend off the obliteration of his movement by Hedge’s own political cult, the demonrats.  Trump may do that.  And what used to be (until the last few years) the biggest part of me, hopes he does.

The smaller part of me, however, now matches the size of the bigger part, having delivered me to a 50/50 split in my political personality.  The neurotic flapping of the bird of prey’s right wing contributed the most to creating my schizophrenia.  In recent years these flight-destroying spasms led me to listen more deeply to creators like Hedges.

A much different academician, however, ended up consuming more of my time than any other online creator in the last decade.  His name is Dr. E. Michael Jones.  His theological work led me to abandon Protestantism and enter the Roman Catholic Church during Easter of 2020.  Years ago I went beyond listening to the countless online podcasts that feature one hour conversations with Dr. Jones.  I added the delight of reading to my listening and scrolling.  He’s easy to find in the written word.  He’s authored dozens of books and hundreds of magazines in his 78 years among us.

This work equipped me to read between the lines of the doomer boomer Hedges essay.  Hedges describes a world that exists in his head alone.  Trump and his cult followers are really … REALLY … bad.  Obama and his cult followers … not so much.

Political leaders and influencers on both sides of this socially engineered American nominalist ideological superstructure are emerging from the World War II induced coma.  We are taking an excruciatingly painful look at the part we played in creating this absurd world that divides absolutely everything … especially our souls and spirits … into two absolutely equal parts.  We are walking away from this pornified perversion of Hegel’s dialectic.   We are moving into a future infused by the light of Hegel’s cunning of reason.

I’m thinking specifically of Tucker Carlson and his brother’s recent sit down in front of the cameras here in Maine at the immensely popular podcaster’s studio in Bethel.  They speak candidly of their responsibility for helping build the American political world that unleashed Trump’s genocidal religious cult on the planet.  This is the one job left to us American boomers before we die — the examination of conscience.

The movement that militantly removed repentance (along with all the other sacraments) from their religious lexicon is being forced by the world to examine it’s institutional conscience.  If Protestantism continues to descend into a hell of it’s own making I can now reliably predict that it will only destroy itself.  It’s not going to destroy either America or Christianity.  While pollsters tell us that America remains majority Protestant we all know the truth.  America has emerged as the most religion hating, porn and violence addicted, empire the world has ever seen.

And, unsurprisingly, the world has moved on.  Russia and China have been leading the way.  They are now joined, most dramatically, by Iran.  Embodying Persia, one of the most ancient and successful civilizations on earth, Iran has defeated the empire’s military.  The only path remaining for America on the world stage is political.  The end to both of the world’s most famous military operations (they aren’t wars laughingly) will be negotiated political compromises, thank God.  Nobody’s going to surrender.  Both sides will negotiate to a pivot and move on.

In a sense, the English Empire has indeed conquered the world.  The English language is being used more than any other in trade and diplomacy to avoid the obliteration of humanity by way of a nuclear exchange.  The use of precision guided munitions dependent on technological innovations largely discovered by the English dominated Europe of the past five centuries has diminished the slaughter of the armed conflicts of that period … especially in the past hundred years.

Dr. Jones authored a book entitled “Logos Rising” a few years ago.  Logos is the Greek word for reason.  The English Bible translates Logos into “word” and features it many times in the opening sentences of John’s gospel.  Words are indeed rising.  Weapons are being returned to their sheaths and holsters.

The people of the world are demanding a return to reason, goodness, truth, beauty and the moral law.

And no amount of online dooming by either wing of the jewish bird of prey is going to stop it from soaring.

Selah.

For what reads like a pretty fair summary of the broader issue of sola scriptura click on this AI link.

This post is about my personal experience with the doctrine.

I was baptized at the behest of my parents when I was a young teen in a United Methodist Church in Maryland.  I did it mostly for my parents, which is probably typical for all Christians who are baptized while a child of any age.  That is to say that baptism at that age is more about the adults who surround the child than the child.  They are too young to have any rigorous theological or philosophical understanding of the liturgy.  The Church community contextualizes the event in the months that follow.  As months turn into years the child becomes a man and grows in his responsibility to fully understand the indelible spiritual quality of what happened when the Church baptized him.

I was presented with an inscribed Bible by the Church at the baptismal liturgy.  I have it today, some fifty-five or so years later.  I think the sola scriptura idea/doctrine was probably mentioned to me as part of the preparation for the baptismal liturgy, but I’m not certain.  I remember having a special feeling about the inscribed Bible.  I read from it periodically as a child.  I never developed a habit of daily Bible reading.

I found written and visual material of an erotic nature to be much more meaningful than Bible verses as a teenager.  While I wanted to act out what I read, and viewed, in the “literature” I never developed the habit of fornication beyond self-stimulation inspired by the jewish-promoted “literature” known as porn.  I always knew that the Bible I owned was critical of the habit, and of all forms of lust.  Talmudically, I chose to rationalize the dichotomy.

I fell in love at eighteen years old with the woman I would marry.  Raised in the Pentecostal Church she had a deeper, more emotional, connection to sola scriptura than did I.  We both attended Protestant Bible College where she studied music, and I obtained a degree in Religion & Philosophy.  I accepted the doctrine uncritically all through this process until 2020 when I entered the Roman Catholic Church. That’s when I started to think deeply about it.

As I write this blog post I’m celebrating the end of my sixth year as a Catholic.  I find deep peace in having a Priest, and the Bible, in my life.  My Priest spent years sorting through the theological and philosophical issues/controversies that followed Luther’s articulation of sola scriptura’s modern form in the 1500s.  I trust my Priest on this point mostly because the alternative in America is Protestantism, which has disintegrated into tens of thousands of small groupings that each rally around some novel interpretation and/or charismatic personality.

The oldest of the Protestant groupings are all woke now.  Their biggest concern is transgendering. They’ve developed all sorts of theological and philosophical “reasoning” to support the insanity.  They get away with it because almost nobody attends their “worship” services anymore.  They are all closing, along with the Catholic Churches that maintain a relaxed attitude toward jews and their Talmudic ideas.

During my lifetime the only christian churches that enjoyed growth were evangelical zionist enterprises.  They were captured politically by the Republican Party at the time of Ronald Reagan.  The zionism was buried in eschatology that probed from the margins of daily and weekly worship until Trump was elected for a second time.  It appears that zionism is now a major dogma of the evangelicalism that I defended for twenty years as leader of the Christian Civic League.

I never defended zionism.  I stayed away from eschatology.  I’ve always reasoned that the future belongs to God and I was never comfortable with current event, headline driven “prophets”, teachers and preachers.

I’m not surprised to see what is happening right now in Washington D.C.  After spending four years leading a Christian community that ministered to troubled souls I entered Maine’s political world at the highest layer of engagement.  I spent twenty years as the spokesman for the century old Protestant institution who’s job it was (and is) to influence public policy, The Christian Civic League of Maine.

What Trump is doing makes perfect sense to me.  He has surrounded himself with evangelical “judeo-christian” Americans who sincerely believe that Old Testament verses are as timely, relevant and authoritative today as they were when they were written.  Sola Scriptura requires that the social order honor the absolute right of every individual Christian to interpret and apply the Bible for themselves alone. Protestant pastors teach this duty, and each denomination develops unique and independent rules to tamp down the inevitable chaos.

Most teach that the Old Testament must be interpreted through the lens of the New Testament, which introduces Jesus into the interpretation and application of Old Testament ideas.  But … never forget … that the doctrine empowers every individual to interpret and apply any, and all, Bible verses themselves.

This highly individualized and sovereign characteristic, encouraged by the doctrine, creates men like current Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.  The Pope recently reminded the world that the gospel cannot be used to justify war, “Brothers and sisters, this is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.”

The American Evangelical Christians who are the most enthusiastic supporters of Trump’s war of choice against Iran are quoting the Old Testament out of context.  Hegseth quotes from it regularly.

I’m not a theologian.  Never have been.  I’m barely a philosopher having merely earned a Bachelor of Arts degree.  I do, however, have practical experience at 65 years of age.  And it is from those decades of experience that I respectfully offer my perspective.

Christians in the West desperately need the help of educated Priests with their spiritual lives as they work to sort out the world that is emerging from the ashes of the American empire.

Protestantism isn’t helping.  It will end up in the dust bin of history because it has always been nothing more than a heresy.

I’ve mentioned Truthstream Media many times over the years.  They do great work on political news in video.  In the vid below they present a compilation of Trump video clips that will blow your mind if you’re anything like me.  The hypocrisy in American media and politics is rising to new satanic highs.

I watched Star Trek as a child living in Rawlings, Maryland.  It helped create my hopeful disposition toward technology and the future.  I am still thankful for that effect, while not being thrilled with the presentation of overly sexual themes when I was an impressionable young boy.

This analysis is fabulous.  I’m looking forward to watching the fan film series that Cullen praises in his analysis.

Back when I was doing my deep dive on Nick Fuentes I came across this once young (now forty year old) Livestreamer.  He’s interviewed Dr. Jones a few times.  We need a lot more conversations that jump the artificial generational divides fueled by psychological warfare.  Great work gentlemen!

If you do a search on this blog on the surname “Hein” you’ll find a number of blog posts detailing dramatic controversy that started a little over a year ago involving the X account, @truthslingerX.

I was dragged into the fight by Hein’s demand that I choose between him and Tim Bodnar, the owner of that X account.  The fight continues in the new year with more legal wrangling.  A court hearing took place last week.  I attended as a witness for Bodnar.  I was there moreso to do my own assessment of what motivates Hein to such relentless personal hatred.

Hein worked for me at the Christian Civic League of Maine for the six years preceeding 2009.  There’s one characteristic that stands out above all others in Hein.  He is a proud conservative Lutheran.

The founder of that Protestant denomination was a German monk named Martin Luther.  He famously abandoned his religious vows to found a new church and wage a relentless hate filled life-long crusade against the Pope in Rome.  He claimed that his vow of chastity as a monk was immoral and abandoned it notwithstanding the fact that the New Testament he claimed to honor offers clear support for chastity.

While I’m not a fan of AI I think this summary does the matter justice:

In the New Testament, several passages address the topic of singleness and celibacy, often presenting them as valid and even spiritually advantageous vocations. In Matthew 19:12, Jesus speaks of individuals who “have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven,” suggesting that celibacy can be a deliberate choice for spiritual service.  Similarly, in 1 Corinthians 7, Paul discusses the benefits of singleness, stating that unmarried individuals can devote themselves more fully to the Lord without the divided attention that marriage may bring. Paul emphasizes that while marriage is not sinful, those who remain single may enjoy greater focus on spiritual matters, as they are not concerned with the affairs of the world. He also notes that celibacy is a gift from God, not everyone is able to live it, and it should not be forced upon those who are not called to it. These passages highlight that singleness and celibacy are not merely alternatives to marriage but are recognized as legitimate and valuable paths for serving God.

Luther is the Father of Protestantism.  America is the most Protestant nation on earth.  There are now over forty thousand Protestant denominations.  Sexual immorality is now destroying (Epstein) any kind of Western moral and political unity.  The controversy over human sexuality is now embedded deep into the Roman Catholic Church, contributing immensely to the historic Christian Church’s decline in faithful and courageous adherents.  Choosing to be fake and gay isn’t really helping much of anything these days.

And Hein is fake and gay in his own unique religious way.  He probably “reasons” that he is loving his enemies like Bodnar, and the five witnesses that spent three hours sequestered in the hallway at the hearing, by resisting their public, political agendas over the years.  I realized the morning after the hearing that what bound all of us together as witnesses against Hein is the fact that he effectively attacked all of us over the years because he disagreed with our political aims on moral/religious grounds.

He interfered with an event I invested heavily in last year.  The attack felt personal because of his tactics.  They were effective.  Hein thinks of himself as a behind-the-scenes private actor who crusades on the internet using both his own personal identity and anon accounts.  He hides behind the claim that he is a journalist when cornered.

Hein’s deeply personal religion expresses itself in hatred of anyone who dares to not live up to his moral perfection.  The fact that America is literally incapable of assessing Hein’s religious supremacy, in favor of constantly evaluating his psychological fitness, leaves Maine handicapped.  We cannot stop him because we choose not to understand him.

Sun Tzu observed that if you don’t understand your enemy, and yourself, you will lose every battle.

My former employee, Michael Hein, texted me last night.

He wrote, “It’s funny watching your .tv livestream tonight from earlier today (yes, I’m the only one who did.) knowing that Bodnar’s account was nuked a couple of hours later. His X account ain’t coming back either. Permanent suspension, I was told by Robinson this afternoon. You picked the wrong horse, Mike. Stay mad, you loser. Cope harder. Cry more tears. Maybe God never liked that guy, eh?”

We were both employed by the Christian Civic League of Maine for six years before 2009.  I was his boss.  I learned a year ago that while he was working to ingratiate himself to Maine’s socialist/communists in 2021 he publicly lied about one of my three sons on X.

Hopefully you recognize the psychological tactics of a bully and troll in the text he sent me last night.  If not it’s beyond important that you learn more about human psychology now that Artificial Intelligence is deployed on the internet to diminish in your awareness the moral and human reality of your very own one-of-a-kind created sovereign soul.

The battle that is raging inside you, and all around you now (especially if you choose to care about politics and religion) is agenda driven by satan.  You are living on a spiritual battlefield.  Satan is making effective use of sex and greed right now to weaponize the internet.

He always does this with technological breakthroughs.

But God, humanity’s Father, has always been — and will always be — more powerful than satan.  And God is always going someplace good and virtuous.  He has the power to bring good out of evil.

We’ve all got our trolls and bullies, especially if you are taking a public stand against satan.  This is because America’s poem, Paradise Lost by John Milton, informs the essence of these disunited states.  He famously observed in the fifteenth century that it is better to rule in hell than serve in heaven.

Bullies and trolls master the devious tactics of demons.

Hein and his proud money loving pals, Steve Robinson and Matthew Gagnon, rule in hell because they have no deep personal interest in serving in heaven.  They enjoy their status here a little too much.

I tasted the power and fame they enjoy.  It went to my head.  Hein helped it go to my head as my assistant.

Those days are behind me.  And that’s why I’m honored God’s given me a chance to stand with a couple other maturing Christian political activist souls named Tim and Jenn Bodnar.

Amen.

The above quote is from a Note published recently on NOSTR, a relatively new publishing protocol on the internet.  NOSTR is an acronym that is short for “Notes and Other Stuff Thru Relays.”  The NOSTR account that posted the note is called Flash.  He continues:

I discovered NOSTR through the work of another user who recently authored a book making the philosophical case for Bitcoin as global currency.  His name is Neal Flesher.

The great British journalist GK Chesterton is often cited observing, “A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.”  The computer, and then the internet, made me feel alive.  Maybe that’s why my soul is so attached to the idea that this technology must secure human dignity and create what is good, true and beautiful.

Over the years I’ve watched the internet fall under the spell of greedy and prideful forces.  This is nowhere more obvious than on social networking platforms.  And I’ve watched all my real world friends turn into Facebook “friends.”  Their minds and souls are occupied by a culture manipulated to kill their souls … to make them into consumers of the latest thing — be it an object or an idea.

Dead people scroll their stream. 

Living people go against it.

I received this email a couple days ago from X.

I’ve been posting quite a bit to X for nearly a year.  I’ve done more posting to social media in the past year than in all the previous years of my life combined.

I’ve watched my follower count crawl up by one or two … or maybe as many as five … a day.  X has a daily userbase of millions.  Elon Musk has stated that he allows freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.  His company justifies this manipulation by blaming advertisers.  Businesses don’t want their ads showing up next to any content that is super unpopular.

A couple days ago I wrote a long reply to this post by Tim Bodnar.  He had posted it to his X account.  The post itself is by Michael G. Hein.

And here is the reply that I posted that was labeled “hate” by X.  I guess Elon’s robot thinks criticism of his platform is hate?

I’m loathe to admit that I signed his paycheck for six years, and praised him publicly more than once through the years. He has now lumped me in with all of his enemies and added me, earlier this year, to his political and personal attack targets.

My professional relationship ended with him in 2009. He publicly attacked members of my family in 2021/22 as part of what he told me last fall was a strategy to infiltrate the Left in Maine. I wrote off his attack at the time as political. I learned the truth the hard way this year. Tim could very well be right in characterizing Hein as a communist.

If there’s one reason Gardiner has a Tranny Clinic now it is Mike Hein. It appears he has dedicated himself to protecting the communist agenda in Augusta Schools.

He will do so by gossiping about any leaders who the internet pukes on with factoids from their past that he can spin into character assassination.

He is the sort of human being who makes all of us think twice about using apps and software that don’t enable simple deletion of guilt-inducing things we’ve said or done in the past.

Beyond that he’s attempting to weaponize frequency of attack on X using one-sided gossip aimed at achieving public political objectives.

I think all social networks should be social first. The word “media” should not be combined with the word “social.”

Until we are provided with online tools that give us absolute authority over our online identity and data we are stuck with a commons that can be, and is being, manipulated in an infinite number of ways.

Hein is nothing compared to governments,  Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Theil. But they are all the same. They are using their powers, such as they are, to create ex nihilo the world they need for the rest of us to see and want.

You don’t get a vote.

AI is being deployed to make sure you continue to think you do have one. Especially on Facebook and Instagram.

Make no mistake KYC (Know Your Customer) is THE internet layer that steals the soul of global humanity. It is being deployed on X right now. It’s almost redundant at Meta because you believed Zuck’s lie about friendship, and you’ve given them enough data points to make them think they know you better than you know yourself. And you probably agree with them without even knowing it.

If you’ve carefully cultivated a friend list over the past ten years on Facebook and/or Instagram the safest thing you can do TO PROTECT FRIENDS AND FAMILY is delete that account and stop using the App and anything produced by Meta. That includes Instagram.

I’m not going to delete my account. I did that years ago, and then restarted an account that I haven’t used. I’m probably going to use that account as media. You can follow me there, but I’m not going to create a social friends graph there. I’m going to do that to protect my friends. You can choose to follow me on Facebook. But I won’t be accepting Friend requests.

If you want a more integrated social connection with me go to heath@primal.net which is a Nostr client. My social graph belongs to me on Nostr, and my digital identity is connected through public/private key cryptography. Zuck and company have no control over my connection to my friends.

Also Nostr is an algorithmically agnostic protocol that cannot employ universal algorithms designed to make us buy something or think/feel a certain way.

Here’s a four minute explanation.
