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.

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?

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 watched all two hours of this interview.  That’s rare for me in this age of nanosecond engagement with any given issue.  If you click on the image you should be magically transported to Tucker’s website where you can watch for yourself.  For free.  It isn’t behind a paywall.  Yet.

The low point of the conversation is the moment when Tucker misses his opportunity to wake up to the obvious truth that America confronts at the moment.  And everyone knows that’s the Jewish Question.  The obvious tension that exists from the beginning to the end of this conversation between friends is created by the Jewish Revolutionary Spirit.

This Spirit possesses every single American mind.  After a century of Freudian (a Jew) psychological operations this satanic spirit cannot be ignored by anyone sincerely seeking understanding.  It infects every nation in the West.

It’s not that we need more evidence.  But if we did you can add this conversation to the now infinitely long list.  This low point arrives near the middle of the argument.  Super Zionist Cruz hints that Carlson is an antisemite.  American aristocratic nerves are worn so thin with the insult that Carlson goes nuclear on Cruz.  And rather than clearly articulate the source of his angst Carlson makes the nonsensical claim that the jews he knows are good.  It’s left unclear what he thinks about the jews most identified to the world as jews.  That would be the ones who make their home in the planet’s only ethnostate, Israel.  Carlson does claim that he supports Israel, but it’s not clear what he means by that.  And it’s jarring to think that Carlson, while obviously concerned about America being dragged into a war with Iran by Israel, chooses to ignore the first LIVEstreamed genocide in human history.

It isn’t Muslims, Christians or Atheists performing the slaughter and organized starvation of innocent women and children.  No, that would be jews living in Israel who are proudly claiming responsibility.  Let that sink in.  The world’s only ethnostate — jewish — is proudly murdering innocent women and children ON LIVE TELEVISION beamed to the entire planet in real time.

We all get it.  There is nothing mysterious about this supremacist spirit now.  You’d have to be dumber than a rock, or so boomer as to exist beyond humanity, to not understand what is happening.

Cruz exposes the insanity.  He quotes a Bible verse from the Old Testament book of Genesis so far out of context that only a supremacist-minded protestant, or a jew, could take his claim seriously.  And God knows there are plenty of those in America.  They think of themselves as “evangelicals.”  What they are in reality is Israel-firsters.

This cohort of American “christians” is the dominant “moral” force in the Republican Party.  Homosexuals, and their fellow travelers, dominate the Democratic Party.  Both groups use sophistry to achieve their political and “moral” ends.  And since it is not possible for reason to exist absent the moral law American politics and religion are spiraling into hell.

I don’t think either man knows it but their conversation opened the wound festering in America.  That obnoxious and overwhelming stench is the infection beginning to ooze.  They ripped off the scab from the wound delivered when Napoleon decided to allow jews to obtain citizenship.

If there is anything that the tribe has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt it is that they cannot live peaceably next to anyone who isn’t as diabolical, conniving and manipulative as they are.  It is long past time for the West to discover understanding by doing a deep dive into the Jewish Revolutionary Spirit.

Start here.

The author of this book — Dr. E. Michael Jones — extended an ignored personal invitation to Tucker to learn more last weekend when Dr. Jones was in Maine for a Symposium.

Media has never been social.  And the most toxic and dangerous version of media ever invented is called “social media.”

It came along not more than two decades ago.  I never trusted it because I never believed it was truly social.  I never, ever trusted it.  Especially Facebook.  I trust it less today than ever.

That’s why I like to meet in person the accounts I choose to trust.  This usually isn’t possible for sources of state, national and international news and opinion.  But for local news and opinion it is not only possible.  It is now essential given the immense powers of politically motivated intelligence agencies and institutional interests.

There are three individuals who are making an immense contribution to righting the political ship in Maine.  I know their names and I’ve met all three of them.  Their primary platform is X, though they recently decided to launch on Facebook.

The most public, clever and provocative of the three goes by @Truthslinger on X.  His name is Tim Bodnar.  It’s been a delight (mostly) to meet and get to know he and his wife.  I say “mostly” because sadly he has been forced to pursue a restraining order for civil rights violations by a former employee of mine who I learned only recently also personally attacked my family to bolster his credentials with Left wing political forces back in 2021.

Tim is rewriting, almost single handedly, the playbook for effective use of media in a truly social and politically effective way.  His formula is simple.  He and his wife are an open book.  They literally invite the world into their home every weekday morning on their LIVEstream.  And there they talk about scooping up the puppies poop, smoke, swear, preach the gospel and comment on current issues.

But the most effective thing they do is restream school board livestreams with live commentary.  I’ve believed for years that every public meeting should be LIVEstreamed.  There isn’t one good reason not to do it.

Tim’s commentary is so entertaining he’s drawn an audience of doers in Maine who are gearing up to follow his lead using Tech.  And his “Daddy’s Home” vibe has earned him a restraining order from Gardiner school board members offended by his truly social communications with them through their official channels.  Let’s just say Tim is no shrinking violet.  He’s angry about adults hacking body parts off children and he lets it show.

Nothing wrong with that.

How come you don’t let ‘er rip since you’re all social and stuff on Facebook?

I offered my immediate impressions of a trial in a post yesterday.

This morning Tim messaged me this music video he created after the trial.  It’s worth the time.

While Laurel Libby is soaking up the DC accolades Tim is slogging away on the same issue from his wilderness hideout somewhere in the woods of Maine.  He produces his online content with electricity provided by a gas powered generator!  He released this video on the day of an emotional trial where he fearlessly faced down his accusers in front of a Judge.

I was there.  The entire trial was the image of what our “society” is now.  It is an anti-society.  There is nothing real, true or reasonable about it.  It is like social media and the internet now.  The Western world is womanized.  If you don’t emote properly then you face humiliation, or worse if you live in England — jail time.

It was a great honor to be there yesterday with Tim, his wife Jen, Richard and a young man I met for the first time.  Tim respected the Judge and the law but he didn’t give an inch to the crybabies.  I wish the trial had been video LIVEstreamed and recorded.  At least there is an audio copy that is being acquired by Richard and will be released publicly on X.

The trial makes it painfully obvious that Maine’s anti-harassment statutes must be tightened up.  Public officials must not be allowed to abuse them to deny a member of the public the right to speak at a public hearing.  Personal insults and politically motivated fighting language must not be interpreted as harassment.  When you sign up for public responsibilities in Maine you’re signing up for battle without bullets.  Words are the ammunition.

If we fail to honor this Western tradition, and definition of free speech, bullets are going to fly.  One of the legitimate functions of politics is the release of public tensions without violence.  Maine has a proud tradition, going back to 1820, of resolving all of our major statewide disputes without organized violence.  We debate and vote through elections and legislative wrangling.

These school board members are forcefully undermining this mechanism so that they can get their way on sexuality and gender.  Maine people are suffering more deeply every day because of the weaponization of sex and gender.  We will arrive at a more natural and wholesome consensus either through lawmaking or violence.  This hellish trajectory cannot go on forever.

If you aren’t slinging truth it’s definitely time to start.  Join me in doing some thoughtful real life truth slinging on June 14th in Central Maine.

Selah.

This video from an Orthodox Bishop calls on humanity to stop using social media.  He repeats observations about the nature of the technology that I’ve been thinking about, and written about, for years.  This reminder has nudged me to return to my practice pre-X.  While I’m not going to delete my accounts on social media platforms I’m going to stop most, if not all, posting and commenting.

I wrote earlier this week about authoritarianism at the Christian Civic League of Maine.  I now realize that I carried on in that mode up to this day.  I’ve done so because of my own pride.  The Holy Spirit is asking me to make some adjustments beyond what I’m committing to here.  I’ll continue to blog my journey, as I have since I started publishing in my own name online.

I decided to blog after resigning from the ministry I led nearly twenty years ago because I decided that was the safest way for me to publish online.  This, I now know, has done more than anything else to protect my soul.

In the blog post on authoritarianism I used the word “identity.”

Watch this helpful conversation about the subject if you’re curious.

Amen.

Last night Dr. E. Michael Jones produced his weekly LIVE podcast.  His one hour show begins with his rant and continues to the end with him answering LIVE questions from Telegram and a number of online platforms.

On Monday of this week Dr. Jones joined other Catholics in Washington D.C. for a conference on antisemitism.  In this podcast he also comments on a recent article by a prominent American Catholic leader, Cardinal Dolan.

Dr. Jones describes current events related to the Jewish Question as best illustrated by a dam breaking.  The dam holding back honest conversation about Judiasm has broken, he suggests.

Amen.

I worry about using X.  I don’t trust Western Institutions.  I stopped believing in them in 2020.  I was already supremely skeptical, even cynical, when the technocrats launched that little covid ditty on every single human on earth.

I’ve known forever that the internet is key to the transformation these rich and powerful few envision for all of us.  That’s why I maintain a love/hate relationship with this technology.  I’ve hated it more than loved it, thank God.

I’m tempted to like it a little when it serves up videos like the one above.  For some reason YouTube put something actually good for my thinking in my feed.  I’m shocked.  Listening to this thirty minute book review while enjoying my afternoon walk just now made me slightly less hateful toward Google.  ONLY slightly, I assure you.

I’m accustomed to the internet serving up stuff that reinforces my political and ideological preferences.  I guess they’ve decided that doing that will entice me to buy more of their products and agendas.  I don’t think it ever worked.  But … whatever.

If you take time to watch or listen to this YouTube you’ll hear an interesting take on the popular Greek legend about the Trojan Horse.  It was both a gift and a weapon in a war, not either/or.  The channel producer points out that even after the gift was emptied of the soldiers the lovely horse, that was so seductive to those living inside the city who now realized it was really a weapon, remained.  Don’t get trapped into thinking of the Trojan Horse as either one or the other.  It was both.

And that illustrates something true about the digital structures that we use everyday.  Let’s not lose sight of nuance, and most important the fact that nobody (but God) knows the future.  This economic play for absolute control over our minds and hearts hasn’t played itself out.  The reviewer offers some good reasons for hope based on what’s happened over the past few decades.

So I’ll keep my eyes wide open as I continue to put up with Musk’s posts being the first thing I see every time I login to X.

Amen.
