There’s a couple YouTubers for which I’ve developed a strong affinity.  One produces a channel called “Dialogue Works.”  The other is the popular Judge Andrew Napolitano.

The Judge developed his audience over the years on FoxNews.  Now he is producing content online.  I’m not aware of whether he is still offering commentary through more mainstream channels.

He reminds me of Tucker Carlson in that his narrative online is much less obviously controlled by the need to keep advertisers and media platform owners happy.  He’s more his own man, if you will.

I especially appreciate the resistance to war that I see in these once-popular-in-mainstream-media-personalities as they continue to create public content.  For the United States of America to survive it simply must pivot away from supremacy, war, empire and hegemony over all the nations on earth.  We must relax and choose to be human.  We must prioritize trading with the rest of humanity over controlling their governments.  We must stop attempting to gain strategic, economic and political advantages over competing world powers at the expense of hundreds of thousands of murdered women, children and non-combatants all over the globe.

Alastair Crooke is a breath of diplomatic fresh air in an America dominated by “diplomats” who seem to care about only one nation on earth — Israel.

The zionist moment is passed.  It lasted over a century.  It is finally over.  And no amount of holocaust chest beating is going to resurrect it.  If Israel doesn’t back down from it’s wet dream for a Greater Israel it may soon cease to exist.

We are also hearing the death rattle of evangelical zionism as Trump assumes power on January 20th.  The powers that be are riding that boomer driven eschatology for all it is worth in this political moment.  As old American Evangelical Christians continue to leave this world through death that force will loosen it’s grip on America’s national identity.  The cracks in this religious/political marriage of convenience widen with every social media post.

Only God knows the future.  There are many more American Christians of all stripes now that demand peace than there are Evangelicals who demand a third temple in Jerusalem after an Armageddon that delivers victory over Gog and Magog (Russia and Iran).

Praise be to God.
