This British economist makes a compelling argument in this video that Trump’s grand plan is to secure ultimate global power for the TechBros.  It makes sense of the chaos we are all feeling.

He reminds Americans of the last time the government was forced to confront monopoly power.  One man is credited with standing up to that power.  Theodore Roosevelt, the President who earned the title “Trust Buster.”  Back then it was oil, steel and transportation that were coming under the control of monopolists.

This economist points out that data — especially the detailed, private and personal kind the government has the power to collect — is today’s oil.  Musk has the portable hard drives.  Trump has the power of the pardon if the Left’s push back goes too far and gets some of Musk’s geeks tied up in criminal trials over stealing our data.

Biden’s liberalism, while unhinged from nature and reality on nearly all things cultural, has demonstrated a weak willingness to confront Big Tech.  At least more of a willingness than the “pro business” Republicans.  Neither right nor left in America is truly pro business.  To be so would be to put the government on the side of protecting the essential economic principle — labor is the source of all value. 

Nobody ever becomes truly rich by hoarding any kind of money.  Nations and individuals become rich by creating, and maintaining, economic power.  This cannot be done if institutions choose to ignore the moral law.

America as I knew it growing up will never exist again.  That hegemonic post WWII system, is dead and buried.

Christianity still delivers the most potent religious influence to the nation.  The only question of consequence we face at the moment is will America go full French and/or Soviet revolution and eliminate Christianity in favor of satanism or will Christianity maintain and strengthen her cultural influence.

As I like to tell my wife almost everyday now, “Time will tell.”

Amen.

Five days before a brand new Maine institution called the Christian Civic League of Maine (CCLM) pledged to encourage all the people of Maine in good citizenship Wilhelm Reich joined the human race in what is now Ukraine.  Reich was born on March 24, 1897.  Since that time the CCLM has worked to enact good laws, provide for their impartial enforcement, and elect honest and competent public officials.

The President of the Farmington State Normal School (Now the University of Maine at Farmington), Maine’s college for public school teachers, joined with the President of Bowdoin College to create the CCLM in 1897.  Forty three years later Reich discovered the latent atmospheric power of sexual orgasms while camped on the shore of a Maine lake near Rangely.  He was thirty miles from Farmington.  He was on the same rural dirt road — Bald Mountain Road — on which my grandfather created Wildwind Camps one year later in 1941.

Reich would return to Maine many times in the 1940s and 50s, going so far as to purchase a one hundred and thirty acre farm in 1942 that he used as a laboratory for his experiments.    He died in a Pennsylvania prison in 1957.

Wilhelm Reich matters.  He literally wrote the book on the sexual revolution … in 1930.  You think the crisis started in the U.S. in the 1960s.

According to Manus.im:

“The Sexual Revolution” was originally published in German in 1930 by Muenster Verlag under the title “Geschlechtsreife, Enthaltsamkeit, Ehemoral” (Sexual Maturity, Abstinence, Marriage Morality). It was later republished by Sexpol Verlag in 1936, and then translated into English and published by the Orgone Institute Press in 1945 and 1949. The book has been republished multiple times since, including by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1962 and most recently by the Wilhelm Reich Museum Press in 2023.

Reich is a major, if not THE major, thinker inspiring the rise of sexual libertinism in Maine and the West.  After being thrown out of Europe he headquartered his work out of New York City and Western, Maine.

Maine’s current Governor, Janet Mills, is daughter to the lawyer who both legalized — and later criminalized — Reich’s work in the United States of America.  The Governor is locked in a pitched political battle of international import with Donald Trump over the latest expression of Reich’s ideology.

Her brother Paul, also a lawyer, is directly tied into an illegal Chinese marijuana grow operation that affects nearly three hundred properties in Maine.  Paul’s father, Peter, served as Wilhelm Reich’s personal lawyer during the 1940s.  He then pivoted to prosecuting the controversial Jewish European immigrant when he became the Federal US Attorney.  Reich died in prison in 1957.  Mills had six tons of Reich’s books destroyed.

Reich’s theories about sexual orgasms were aimed at undermining the authority of religion, especially the Roman Catholic Church.  He argued that only good can come from following one’s sexual impulses wherever they lead.  He hated all forms of authority and traditional marriage.

Under the leadership of Janet Mills Maine erased civil marriage in the first decade of the new millennium.  And she is a forceful advocate for Reich’s rubrics related to sexuality.

Reich invented a device that he believed was capable of absorbing and concentrating sexual orgasmic energy from the atmosphere in such a way that he could affect the weather.

Ideas have consequences.  I’ll be exploring the fascinating life and work of Wilhelm Reich in blog posts going forward.

Amen.

Judge Andrew Napolitano and Larry Johnson praise Orthodox Christianity in this short Moscow interview.  The Judge says that the Russian Orthodox worship service he attended reminded him of the Roman Catholic Latin Mass.

Larry Johnson gets the most worked up when talking about Christianity in America.  I heard him brag in one interview about abandoning the Protestant version of Christianity in which he was raised by his parents.  Yet, he speaks VERY favorably about the positive effect of Christianity he sees with his own eyes on Russian culture.

They’ve commented more than once since arriving in Moscow about how clean, gleaming and traditional everything is, and how there are no police.  One of my jogging routes in Maine’s Capitol City, Augusta, takes me by the Taj Mahal police station, and then past the homeless encampment downtown.

Maine and America are collapsing because we hate God and his moral law so much.  We’ve traded the Faith for the love of money and things.  There is no way on God’s green earth that this ends well for U.S.

Amen.

Christianity elevated the idea of preaching to a new level of significance in religion.  To be more specific Paul the Apostle told Christians living in Corinth that the preaching of the Apostles, the Church, would draw heaven and earth closer together.

America isn’t allowed to have a Church.  The First Amendment to the Constitution empowered business and government at the expense of religion’s unity/authority.  This fracturing of Christianity means England, the birthplace of this revolutionary thinking about religion, now celebrates Ramadan instead of Lent.  If that can happen to a legally Christian nation that still holds on to a Monarchy where do you think America is headed?

We got a foretaste last night six miles from where I’m writing this blog post.  The elected leader of the town’s legal body responsible for raising children from age five to eighteen mounted her pulpit and declared the path forward.  She did this after employing the long arm of State law to silence a loud and hilarious social media influencer by abusing harassment statute.  This womanish “leader” is calculating that Maine people are so dumbed down now that they will see in her preaching the marks of seriousness and maturity appropriate to her authority.  Especially in comparison to a religious zealot on X.

And you know what.  Before the November election she might have gotten away with this play acting.  I don’t think she will be able to now.  If the Trump administration were smart they’d globalize the Gardiner Tranny Clinic debate.  But maybe we’ve reached a point where America’s constitutional system is going to start working and we don’t need centralized control to realize that children ought not be worshipped.  Maybe we’ve realized that children must be raised to goodness from the fallen state in which we are all born.

The West turned away from the idea of religion centuries ago.  A religion cannot exist for long, by definition, absent widespread agreement and unity.  The Soviet Union gave up on the Godless experiment two decades ago.  Russia is Christian once again.  It persecuted the ancient faith for over seventy years in the name of Left wing economics.  We know that persecutor by the name Communism.

English Capitalism is an economic scourge from the right, or conservative side, of European Church hatred.  While communism is rooted in an unnatural worship of material equality, capitalism is state sponsored usury.  It’s real purpose is to exist, as did communism, to enrich the few at the expense of the many.  Capitalism has nothing to do with creating, and maintaining, a free market.  It uses the power of the government to give ultimate control over everything to the rich.

Jesus Christ put it this way, “No one can serve two masters.  Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.  You cannot serve both God and money.”

The video starts providing proof of American Big Tech collapse by citing Google, the business that started with the motto, “Do No Evil.”  The internet has wheedled it’s way into our human existence by wrapping itself in righteousness.  From the beginning, however, it was a weapon.  Invented and funded by the American military it remains fundamentally weaponized in the West by the greed upon which English capitalism (Adam Smith’s “Theory of Moral Sentiments”) depends.

Amen.

Maine’s Governor has pondered her spat with The Donald in the White House a couple weeks ago.  She and her team have decided to compare the President to a French King who probably doesn’t even exist as a footnote in Maine textbooks outside Lewiston, Biddeford and the St. John Valley. 

If you’re losing in politics then it’s time to Get Smart.

It’s almost scholarly to compare the gold loving Trump to the Sun King.  I for one am thrilled with this turn of events.  Thank you, Governor, for injecting a bit of modern European history into all of this unhinged gender madness.  Mills must turn to something with built in gravitas to divert everyone’s attention from the fact she is defending the least popular idea in human history.  Why not the European King who cultivated an image of himself as an omniscient and infallible Sun King.  Talk about gravitas.

And it fits Trump.  She might make this stick to him.  I hope she succeeds.

Unknowingly, she and her Satanic progressive pals, are reinforcing the reason so many Americans are turning away from their ideas.  We’re rising from our slumber and rejecting the “progress” they are using our laws to enforce.  Trump represents our manly rejection of their evil.

So what if he has to suffer comparison to a political leader who enjoyed revealing a bit of leg.

The host of the “Zero Hour” YouTube channel, James Poulos, wrote a book entitled Human Forever.  It is available for purchase with Bitcoin only.  My pastor is a Bitcoin guy.  He purchased the book and let me borrow it late last year.  I enjoyed reading it.

In the one hour video interview above Poulos interviews another podcaster I appreciate, Jonathan Pageau.  The Icon painter is Eastern Orthodox and lives in Canada.

Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic expressions of Christianity enjoy a refined sense of hierarchy compared to Protestantism.  There’s an unnatural and radically egalitarian flatness to everything Protestantism infuses.  This distraction from reality and truth perverts respect for the moral law and practical reason into moralism and religiosity.

The men explore the influence of the internet on our everyday lives.  I’m sure that I’m not alone in allowing the internet to focus my attention on matters that I have no influence over.  I’ve done this to the detriment of matters close to home.

As you ponder the identity crisis all of us are now living through you will find this dialogue helpful.

Amen.

Europe is believing, wrongly, that the United States of America is going to continue to make war on Russia.  We should have stopped twenty years ago, when communism collapsed in the Soviet Union.  Even though we are twenty years late at least Trump and Vance are stepping up now and giving Europe a reality check.

I enjoy Alastair Crooke.  I appreciate most of Judge Andrew Napolitano’s guests.

This discussion concerns Europe’s promises to back Ukraine in light of the recent dust up at the White House.  Zelensky was unceremoniously ushered from the building only to be granted an audience with the English King.  Europe chooses to ignore the FACT  that America is FINALLY moving on from the Second World War.  We stayed with the old world order about two decades longer than we should have done.  We should have moved on when the Soviet Union collapsed, and Russia returned to her Christian religion.

We should close all of our military bases overseas before we are forced to do so my a lack of money.  We must harden our border and spend a generation renewing our dedication to constitutional law and principles.  We will either do this by choice, or as a result of economic and political collapse.  I, of course, am praying for the former — choice.  I choose life for my home, state and nation.  I choose extinction for the Woke cult here in Maine led by Jezebel Janet Kills and her elite class of Maine.

Amen.

This podcast begins with an insightful review of GAB CEO Andrew Torba’s new book.  Torba argues for the creation of a “parallel polis.”  He believes that America will continue on with the current “liberal” order and an alternative, or “parallel” order, that will be built by a variety of churches.

I have deep personal, and professional, experience with this idea in Maine.  It not only did NOT work for me, it created enormous confusion for myself and everyone I love.

Professor Jones points out that the Church was created by Jesus Christ.  He allows that it is also maintained by Him to this day.  And that you can visit the headquarters of the Church Jesus created.  It is St. Peter’s Basilica.  It is located in Rome.  This is reality.

Arriving at this conclusion introduced deep peace into my daily existence as a Christian in Maine.  After extensive prayer, research and reading I concluded I must decide between two headquarter cities if I wanted to remain Western (I considered Eastern Orthodoxy also).  Those two cities are Rome and Washington DC.  Since the end of WWII DC has served as the HQ of Protestantism.  Before that it was probably London going back to King Henry VIII, at least for the part of the world that spoke English.

Religions express in culture the most crucial sort of unity for humans.  No religion can survive by making every single adherent into an ultimate moral authority — a priest.  Protestantism does just that.  The doctrine is called the “Priesthood of all Believers.”

The evidence of the impracticality of this religious practice is all around us.  Some American Christians have elevated Donald Trump above the office of Priest, maybe even Pope.  Christian Zionists, nearly all of them Protestant, are so incapable of rational observation with respect to their “savior” that a majority of them cannot see the evil inherent in the recently circulated short video depicting Trump as a hundred foot high golden statue in the heart of a glorified luxury resort built on the remains of tens of thousands of murdered Gazan women and children.  The video hearkens back to another arrogant leader from Old Testament times, Nebuchadnezzar.  He was judged harshly by God, forced to live for years as an animal.

Turning to the effect of this doctrine on my spirituality, I took my priestly responsibility so seriously that I registered my own “church” with the State of Maine.  The constitution allows for it.  Anyone can create an organization called a “Religious Society.”  I felt a duty to do so because I believe in government.  I honor the God-given duties of governments everywhere.

What led me to this action?

I publicly declared my agreement with the morals of Jesus Christ for twenty years as leader of the Christian Civic League of Maine.  i was forced to resign as Maine turned toward the elimination of civil marriage after adding the politically loaded phrase “sexual orientation” to the Maine Human Rights Act.  I couldn’t pivot without distancing myself from the Gospel.  The League pivoted.  I couldn’t.

And now Maine is insanely embroiled internationally in a fight over whether boys who claim they are girls should be allowed to compete in sports.

I was right not to distance myself from the Gospel on the subject of human sexuality.  I was wrong to think that God wanted me to create a Religious Society for that purpose.  It takes a bad case of hubris to come to that conclusion.  I had a really bad case.

Easter of 2020 I laid aside my pride and entered the Roman Catholic Church.  The Father, Son and Holy Spirit have been deepening their ministry to my soul ever since.  I am more dedicated to my Christian faith than ever, and more relaxed about it.

Torba’s Parallel Polis idea may bear some good fruit.  Who knows.  Only God knows the future.  And He is always going someplace good.

As for me I will keep looking for ways to encourage American unity by way of practicing my Christian faith strengthened by the sacraments of the Church.

Amen.
