So I received my oversized post card in my mailbox today.  Garrett Mason’s billionaire sponsor sent it to me from Ponte Verda, Florida.

Mason is bought and paid for by America’s genocidal jewish political right wing.  He’s a well paid lobbyist for them.  He wants to be Governor of Maine after serving four terms in the Maine Senate in order to earn a lobbyist’s paycheck from the zionist cabal.

I feel bad for him.  Like Trump, he doesn’t understand that jewish rule over America is over.  The world, and the majority of the American people, have moved on.

Maine will fall deeper under demoncrat control in 2026.

My hope is that demoncrats will find more ways to distance themselves from the woke and gay cabal. 

Republiscum show no signs of understanding the times.

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.

Below you’ll see a tweet from Richard.  He’s commenting on some outstanding political work performed by Maine superstars, Tim Bodnar and Nick Blanchard.  Last night they peacefully spun up the Trans cult to the point where they revealed their true nature.  They are the most violent among us.  And all this violence is made possible by the decades long cowardice of Maine’s institutional “leaders.”

I’m probably going to write a more lengthy essay on all this for a future Weekly Issues Summary.  It’s free to subscribe.

Selah.

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.

Gubernatorial hopeful Bobby Charles finally responded to his critics in a column published in the Maine Wire.

He admits to being a lifetime member of one of the world’s most dangerous and toxic globalist institutions –the Council on Foreign Relations.

He proudly defends his involvement, “Like William F Buckley, one of the greatest conservative minds of the last 100 years, I was selected at age 27 to this national debating society for top military, legal, business, and academic leaders, including some in President Trump’s cabinet. Its members are regularly consulted by President Trump and Vice President Vance.”

Charles is same-old-same-old boomer politics with a socialist media Palentir edge.  He’s already captured the “christian” moralist vote with his Trumpian Axe swinging.  Will it be enough to carry him over a blood and guts Bush.  We’ll find out in June.

I’m not paying attention to any politician who isn’t willing to publicly and relentlessly denounce Trump for his obeisance to America’s Tech Broligarchy.

Trump is leading America into the fever swamp of anti-human law enforcement that England has become.  A woman was recently jailed for texting naked in her bathtub.  It took eleven police officers to forcefully enter her home while she was taking a bath.  In pornographically jewish fashion she was deemed to be so dangerous they had to watch her dress.

I guess this is all justified by MAGA to beat China in the AI race.  Figure that one out and give me the explanation in the comments.  Surely America can build a useful and human version of artificial intelligence without turning the national political parties into an American version of the CCP?

If you wonder whether you’re the only one who thinks this way you’re spending way too much time scrolling your Fakebook feed.

Alas.

I’m starting to lose hope that humanity is going to win World War III.  Since 2020 we’ve been in a global war against satan’s Singularity.  And it appears we are singularly absent from the battlespace — the Internet.

I just attempted to post an innocuous political post on X.  Musk’s robots wouldn’t let me.  It’s worse on Fakebook.

Since I know at least the FBI reads my posts here I’ll copy and paste the original text.

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking.  “Why are you wasting your time on politics.  Nobody cares!”

That’s not true.  The jews care.  Obviously.  They’re the only group we’re not allowed to discuss in Maine.  That’s why we can’t fix any of the sex-related family disintegrating issues facing every single Maine family.  If you don’t know the truth about yourself, or your enemy, you’ll lose every battle.

Did Christianity push porn, abortion, divorce, war etc. on Maine.  No.  The jews did that.  It’s so obvious.  Can’t you feel the gaslighting, for God’s sake?

One of the only men of consequence pushing up to the margins of this satanic evil lives in Maine — Tucker Carlson.  But even he can’t get things straight in his mind.  He refuses to name the jew.

It’s so bad inside my own head that I’ve had to fight to type every word of this blog post.  It just feels pointless … a waste of time.

Is 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.

On Saturday, June 14, 2025, I helped present a Symposium entitled Libido Dominandi:  The Gay Lobby Vs. Authority.  It featured Dr. E. Michael Jones from South Bend, Indiana.  He is the author of dozens of books and publisher of Culture Wars Magazine.

He closed the day describing the movie scene embedded above.  It appears at the conclusion of Clint Eastwood’s movie, Gran Torino.

Along with a friend I organized a Symposium that took place on Saturday.  It featured a public Roman Catholic intellectual.  Dr. E. Michael Jones visited Maine Friday and Saturday of last week.

My friend and I secured a brew pub as the location for the event slightly more than a month before.  The provocative nature of Dr. Jones’ work caused us to be overly cautious in our discussion with the woman who managed Gritty McDuff’s in Auburn.  At the time I could not think of a way to offer full disclosure without closing down the opportunity to enjoy the aesthetics, food and hospitality of Gritty’s.  I prayed that the inevitable cancellation wouldn’t occur, but knew instinctively that it would be cancelled.  We did offer the name of the speaker in passing.  It can be argued that the manager chose not to do diligence.

It was cancelled with barely enough time to secure another location.

My deep and emotional surprise came as a result of how the cancellation occurred.  This former employee of mine, Mike Hein, who is highly praised — deservedly so — on many pages of this website caused the cancellation.  The location was not publicized.  He found out about it somehow and called the owner of Gritty’s.  Hein gleefully celebrated his “accomplishment” in multiple texts to my friend and me.

God opened another door in time and the Symposium was very successful.  But the ferocity and obvious personal hatred evident in the multiple texts to myself and my friend were deeply unsettling.

The most profound hatred in all of the texts was aimed at the Roman Catholic faith of my friend who helped me with the Symposium.  Hein has not gone there with me yet.  I entered the Roman Catholic Church in 2020.  Mike is Missouri Synod Lutheran.

Our paths have rarely crossed since I resigned from the Christian Civic League of Maine in 2009.  We reconnected in the fall of 2024 a few times at an Augusta brew pub.  He was generous insisting on paying for the food and brew.  Consistent with his prohibitionist views he didn’t drink a beer.  I did.  And he paid for it.

More than once I questioned him about his public attacks on me during a time in 2020 thru 2023 when he claims that he penetrated the socialist/communist movement in Maine.  He allowed that his attacks on me were general and merely political.  I believed him.

At the same time that Mike and I were reconnecting last fall he was deeply involved with an X group called “Pine Tree Patriots.”  Among the more notable members is a man and his wife.  Tim and Jennifer Bodnar produce a morning LIVEstream on X.  He brands his media work “Uncivilized Media” and calls himself the Truthslinger on X.

Mike may have been the one to introduce me, I don’t remember.  Regardless, having discovered him I was drawn to his narrative and style and became curious about his online work.  I learned that he was doing effective political work pushing back against the creation of trans gendering-friendly “health” clinics in Maine public schools.  He was making especially notable gains in a village near me, Gardiner.  And he was doing it from a log cabin in the woods without the benefit of electricity.  His internet work is powered by a generator.

His effectiveness emerges from his use of LIVEstreaming on X.  He rebroadcasted the Gardiner School Board public meetings offering provocative and entertaining commentary whenever they took up the issue of the “Health” Clinic.

While I chose to focus on Tim’s political effectiveness Mike Hein focused on Tim’s drinking and smoking.  Tim’s mixture of the protestant version of the gospel of Jesus Christ with drinking and smoking made me even more curious.  Especially because Maine is the home of prohibition.

That political movement started in Portland, Maine in the mid nineteenth century.  The Christian Civic League of Maine returned to it’s anti-gambling/prohibitionist roots after I resigned.  The institution muted concerns with sexual orientation theory (gay rights) and managed to win the respect of both sides of Maine’s political establishment, evidenced by the recent retirement celebration of the man who followed me.  The event featured the attendance of Maine’s sitting and former Governor, along with one of our serving Federal Senators.

Around the beginning of 2025 Mike decided to force me to choose between Tim and himself.  Mike researched Tim’s past and came to the conclusion that Tim is an immoral grifter who must be destroyed.  I refused to choose sides in an email that I sent to both men.  Mike cut me off in a written response.  Tim invited me to be interviewed in a LIVEstream notwithstanding the fact that we hadn’t, at that point, met one another.  We’d just been direct messaging one another on X.  And Mike Hein was amping up his personal attacks on Tim.

To begin his questions about my relationship with Hein Tim showed an X post that had been published on Hein’s X account for three years.  I had never seen it before.

It was a personal attack on one of my children.  It wasn’t political.  It was hate filled.  It left me speechless.  Tim graciously stopped the LIVEstream when he learned I had never seen the post before.  Within hours Hein scrubbed his X account.

Hein disappeared from my life until the hate filled texts celebrating his success getting the Symposium cancelled.  He didn’t, however, disappear from Tim’s life.  He deepened and broadened his vicious personal attack on Tim and his wife.  He even managed to draw in an estranged daughter and create a legal crisis for Tim that has obvious political overtones.

Mike’s tactics to destroy Tim and bring about a political result that he claims not to support (the establishment of the Gardiner tranny clinic) included the most vicious and hate filled conduct I’ve ever witnessed in my life.  And that’s saying something since I’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of political stuff to include death threats and lying like you wouldn’t believe.  But I’ve never witnessed a political activist stoop to the depths of personal viciousness that Mike employed against Tim.

Mike’s goal in his war with Tim is to destroy his credibility with existing and potential supporters.  He attacks Tim’s drinking and smoking.  Additionally he spreads poisonous lies by email, phone call and online posting based loosely on Tim’s past.  Tim, on the other hand, is publicly thanking Hein for his pressure, and allowing that his hate has helped him decide to stop smoking and drinking.

The fruit of Mike’s political activism in the past month is the last minute cancellation of the Symposium location, and the creation of the Tranny clinic in Gardiner.

I never considered Mike to be more than a paid employee, though I may have inadvisably used the word “friend” in describing him on occasion.  I’m sure you’ll understand, having read this account, why I now consider him to be a dangerous enemy.

Selah.
