Long before Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean retreat, there was another island where the most depraved acts against children took place in absolute secrecy.

And like Epstein, its owner was a rich and powerful member of the elite hiding in plain sight.

Keenan’s research points to the possibility that those involved in the North Fox Island ring may have played a role in the killings.

His name was Francis D. Shelden, a Yale graduate and member of an Ann Arbor, Michigan, family. He also had penchant for violating little kids.

Shelden was the owner of North Fox Island, a secluded location in Lake Michigan used as a base for a child exploitation ring during the 1970s. Much like Epstein, Shelden projected an image of philanthropy and boasted his influence and connections to mask his predatory actions.

It helped that North Fox was remote enough to be essentially lawless territory, known as a place where the rich could engage in criminal activities without fear of reprisal. Shelden used his sizable wealth to insulate himself from prosecution for years despite mounting evidence of his involvement in a large-scale sex trafficking ring.

Money talks, after all — especially when it comes to matters of corruption and coercion.

The Snow Killings

In “The Snow Killings,” Marney Rich Keenan connects the unsolved case of the Oakland County Child Killer, who terrorized Michigan in the 1970s, to the sinister events taking place on North Fox Island.

The Oakland County murders, also known as “the Snow Killings,” took place between 1976 and 1977. They involved the abduction, torture, and murder of four children: Mark Stebbins, Jill Robinson, Kristine Mihelich, and Timothy King. These abductions left the community paralyzed with fear, and the discovery of the victims’ bodies in snow-covered locations gave the case its eerie name.

The investigation into these killings uncovered links to a darker, more insidious network of child exploitation. Under the guise of running a charitable organization, Brother Paul’s Children’s Mission, Shelden and his associates lured young boys to the island under the pretense of offering them summer camp experiences. In reality, Shelden’s island was a hub for child pornography production, where boys were sexually abused on camera for distribution.

Keenan’s extensive exploration reveals key figures who were central to the exploitation ring. Although Shelden was the mastermind behind the island’s operations, he didn’t operate alone. Beasts like him rarely do.

His associate, schoolteacher Gerald Richards, was deeply involved in recruiting boys for the camps and filming the abuse. Richards’ arrest in 1976 for molestation opened the door for investigators to begin uncovering the operations on the island.

Sadly, Shelden managed to escape prosecution by fleeing the country before authorities could apprehend him. Another key figure, Dyer Grossman, was similarly implicated in the abuse. But just like the ringmaster, he disappeared as the investigation began to deepen.

No justice for victims

The nature of the child exploitation on North Fox was far-reaching, extending beyond Michigan’s borders. The materials produced on the island were distributed across state lines and even internationally, making the ring part of a larger, more organized network of child exploitation. Richards, who cooperated with authorities after his arrest, provided key insights into how the island operated and the extent of the abuse.

As for the Oakland County Child Killer, after decades on the case, it remains unsolved. But Keenan’s research points to the possibility that those involved in the North Fox Island ring may have played a role, either directly or indirectly, in the killings.

The parallels between Shelden and Epstein highlight a disturbing reality. Specifically, how the top 1% appear to play by a different set of rules, or no rules at all. Meanwhile, their victims — children whose lives were brutally cut short or permanently altered — were failed (and continue to be failed) by a system designed to protect the rich rather than seek justice.

The bigger picture

This brings us to a rather important point that really needs to be emphasized.

The United States, despite its claim to being the greatest country in the world, offers its most vulnerable citizens frighteningly little protection. Across the country, a child goes missing or is abducted every 40 seconds. That’s more than 2,000 kids every single day.

Each year, around 840,000 children are reported missing. In the land of opportunity, where well over a million pedophiles reside, children become fodder for the most perverted people imaginable. Their suffering finds itself buried beneath bureaucratic incompetence, unearned privilege, and deafening silence.

Remember, behind every statistic is a shattered family, a broken home, and a desperate plea for answers that may never come. Epstein is dead. Shelden evaded justice. The Oakland County killings were never solved.

And yet, the system that allowed these fiends to flourish remains unchanged. The machinery that protects the predators and forsakes the prey grinds on, indifferent to the suffering left in its wake. Laws may shift, investigations may stall, but the core dysfunction — the rot at the heart of it all — persists.

Hollywood has been crumbling for years, but people are noticing that this collapse seems to be speeding up. What is causing this collapse, and why is it accelerating? Could it be wokeness, the proliferation of AI, a combination of the two, or something else?

On “Zero Hour,” Matthew Marsden — actor, singer, and producer — sat down with James Poulos to discuss the state of Hollywood, its imminent collapse, and the emerging role of artificial intelligence in the industry.

Early in the episode, Marsden described the increasing presence of AI in movie production, especially for actors. In some places, like India, AI can render an actor’s image for the screen, making the actor’s work largely obsolete. This may not be a viable option for American actors: “These actors are OK with it as long as they get paid. I’m sure Hollywood wouldn’t want to pay. They would want to use the images and keep using them.”

They moved on to the crumbling state of Hollywood and the public perception of it: “It’s really difficult for the general public to really give a damn about what’s going on in Hollywood. … They’ve treated their fans with contempt.” Marsden mainly refers to Disney and the multiple franchises it owns, such as Lucasfilm and Marvel.

They also discussed AI’s generative script-writing capabilities. The emergence of AI threatens actors’ jobs and the creative process as a whole: “You’d hope that you can’t take the human element out of Hollywood, but eventually, it will happen.”

To hear more about what Matthew Marsden had to say about Hollywood, AI, wokeness, and more, watch the full episode of “Zero Hour” with James Poulos.

America was convinced tech would complete our mastery of the world. Instead, we got catastrophe — constant crises from politics and the economy down to the spiritual fiber of our being. Time’s up for the era we grew up in. How do we pick ourselves up and begin again? To find out, visionary author and media theorist James Poulos cracks open the minds — and hearts — of today’s top figures in politics, tech, ideas, and culture on “Zero Hour” on BlazeTV.

Being the media-anointed presidential candidate has its downsides. Ace a few fawning interviews with Pravda and it’s easy to get overconfident. Fox News? They’re not ready for Momala!

It’s the rare straight man who can hold his own in the longhouse.

How else to explain Kamala Harris’ recent ill-considered decision to sit down with Bret Baier, who took all of five minutes to dismantle Madam Vice President’s heretofore unchallenged campaign strategy of nimbly unburdening herself from what has been?

Contrast this with her visit to “The View” last week, in which she gamely sat for an utterly forgettable hour of softball questions.

A View to a Shill

It was Harris’ seventh visit to the gyneocratic gabfest, which has long been a friendly stopover for Democrat luminaries.

Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden top out at 10 appearances; Barack Obama and Al Gore each have two, alongside a who’s who of Beltway Bolsheviks, like AOC (three), Pete Buttigieg (12), and Bernie Sanders (12 — so that’s why he misses all those floor votes).

Depending on who you ask, “The View” is either America’s “most important political TV show” (New York Times) or its “biggest source of misinformation” (New York Post).

Unsurprisingly, the “women of different generations, backgrounds, and views” the show purports to represent all tend to be Times readers. “Diversity is our strength! Wait, not that diversity!”

Get Donald

But any — occasional! — slips in ideological balance might be counterbalanced by the startling fact that, at the time of writing, Donald J. Trump remains the show’s most frequent political guest, being warmly received no less than 18 times since it debuted in 1997.

That all changed, of course, on November 6, 2016. Presiding over her more somber than usual gaggle, Joy Behar pledged to resist the new regime: “The only checks and balances we have are us, ‘The View,’ that’s it!”

Given the ladies’ morally vexed record of idly gossiping with the same would-be dictator they now opposed, such dissident posturing was a touch unconvincing.

Easier to believe was a later, still more chilling threat: “We’re not going anywhere; we’re going to stay right here and talk.”

Tongue-tied

Lesser men than Trump have found themselves summarily routed by women talking. Even the most intrepid “The View” guest can find himself ill prepared for the show’s volatile female climes — which can shift in an instant from the pleasant summer breeze of flirtatious chitchat to the Category 5 hurricane of an HR-mandated disciplinary hearing.

Just watch Whoopi Goldberg and Behar storm off the stage after Bill O’Reilly launches a gratuitous blitz of statistics! Or Donald Trump Jr. shrink before Goldberg’s concierge call bell and Meghan McCain’s crocodile tears, or Matt Gaetz quietly despair as his reasonably sound arguments bounce off the panel’s impenetrable carapace of self-righteousness. Even Blaze Media’s own Glenn Beck admitted the whole thing made him nervous.

So one must concede respect for lionhearted types like Trump, who has shown a willingness to charge into this most hostile of environments time after time — and no doubt would even now, should the ladies deign to have him back.

Queen of Queens

It’s true that the 45th president performs better on the hot seat than in an echo chamber; a combative atmosphere trims the flab of his digressions (what his fans now call “the Weave”).

But another reason Trump feels right at home on “The View” is that he is a ladies’ man. Not a womanizer (though he is that), but a man who thrives in the chatty, gossipy, and cutthroat milieu of women. In other words, he’s a Gemini.

Astrology aside, Trump is constitutionally a libertine: urbane, morally permissive, and, if you’ll allow me to be irreverent, a little gay.

He blows kisses to Hulk Hogan, weighs in on Fashion Week (“used to be so glamorous and exciting! No stars, no fun—just boring”), and his rivalry with lesbian Rosie O’Donnell remains a gem of the catty naughties social feuds. “I said to her at the theater, ‘congratulations on your failed magazine,'” he breathlessly recounted to a cackling radio host.

And who could forget his love of Andrew Lloyd Webber?

Brag hags

But Trump’s rightful status as a camp icon has been obscured by the dogged efforts to smear him as a bitter misogynist. One of our culture’s great misunderstandings is the inability to distinguish between a hater of women and a male chauvinist.

Trump is the latter. Nobody probes female psychology as keenly, if indecorously, as does an authentic chauvinist. He loves women for their nature, red in tooth and claw.

“There’s nothing I love more than women,” Trump once riffed, sounding downstream of Camille Paglia, “but they’re really a lot different than portrayed. They are far worse than men, far more aggressive, and boy, can they be smart!”

Gay men used to inhabit the cultural archetype of the b****y antagonist to the fairer sex, playfully puncturing their delusions, but today one mostly hears robotic “Yas Queens” from those coconut-perfumed quarters. If anything, it’s the physique-obsessed, self-styled Hellene manosphere crowd that has assumed that function, and they revere Trump as one of their own.

It’s the rare straight man who can hold his own in the longhouse. Can you name any other Republican who could kiss Barbara on the cheek and coax Whoopi into admitting that she loves him?

Yes, sentiments have since chilled, but as with all of Trump’s feuds, his beef with the viragos of “The View” plays out with a certain kayfabe-like knowingness.

Like many gays, Trump is a skillful dramatist, obsessed with details of staging, performance, and aesthetics. Yet his theatrics are not in the service of conjuring unreality, but undermining our unreal pieties at every turn. The trickster’s flair is what makes you laugh in spite of yourself.

Americans have been waking up and realizing that Kamala Harris does not stand for “A New Way Forward,” as her campaign has been claiming, but rather the same exact thing they’ve gotten for the past few years.

She is the vice president of the current administration, after all. With this in mind, the Democrats are now doing everything they can to instill fear in their voters and smear Donald Trump as he rises in the polls.

“Right now they’re basically telling black voters that they have a racial duty to vote for Kamala Harris, black men in particular,” Blaze News senior political editor Christopher Bedford tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.”

“It’s not going over that well, not even with liberal media,” he continues. “At the same time, apparently white people have a racial duty to vote for Kamala Harris. Basically, everyone’s got a racial duty to vote for Kamala Harris.”

But they’re not just using race to stir division.

The Atlantic recently published an article claiming that Donald Trump said Hitler had good generals.

“Who knows if that was actually real, who knows? If it was, it was certainly said as a joke if it was real,” Bedford says. “But now, that’s getting picked up.”

Whether it’s real or not, Kamala certainly wants America to believe it is.

“Why is Vice President Kamala Harris holding a campaign speech from the vice presidential house with the vice presidential seal where she calls Donald trump ‘Hitler’ and ‘a Nazi?'” Bedford says.

“I think there’s a depression in the ranks amongst Democratic voters. They’re not feeling too good, they’re not feeling confident, they’re not liking their team, they’re not feeling the same motivation of ‘we hate Donald Trump’ that they may have in the past. And the Democrats are going to go full board to be like, ‘Hey, just a reminder, all you liberal voters out there, all you quiet Democrats, Donald Trump is literally Hitler,’” he adds.

Democrats are panicking and for good reason.

Not only are the polls reflecting a flailing Kamala Harris campaign, but the L.A. Times, for the first time in four election cycles, has refrained from endorsing a candidate — despite Kamala’s deep state ties to California.

“It’s palpable in the air, they know that they’re losing,” Sara Gonazles of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments, noting that the billionaire owner of the L.A. Times “blocked the paper from endorsing a presidential candidate at all.”

“It’s no exaggeration to say this may be the most consequential election in a generation. And we’re not just talking about the presidential race,” the owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, had said after blocking the paper from giving an endorsement.

“You’ve got to keep in mind how important this is. The L.A. Times. Where’s Kamala from? She lived in the L.A. County city of Brentwood, she was the California attorney general, she was a senator from California. This is her people. This is her home turf paper refusing to endorse her,” Gonzales says.

As Election Day gets closer, more and more signs are pointing to doom for Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party.

“You can feel it, can’t you? They know that they’re losing,” Gonzales says, noting that they’re likely going to pull out all the stops in order to stop Donald Trump from winning anyways.

“I want to show you what the Democrats are going to do in the 76 days between Donald Trump potentially winning on Election Day,” she continues. “They’ve got to try their best to get as many fake ballots as they can. Unfortunately for them, it sounds like it’s going to be too big to rig.”

“They’re going to try to cause as much disruption, distraction, chaos, for Donald Trump, and of course, for you, because we all know they’re not really after him, they’re after you. He’s just standing in the way,” she adds.

Our sons are born into a world of moral and aesthetic chaos. There are no rules, no expectations, no limits.

The barriers that frame our traditionally fixed forms are broken down in front of our very eyes. Any sense of hierarchy is eviscerated. The definitions of man and woman are mutilated. Sacred and profane are turned in a blender together. Culture is flattened, and American aesthetics are forgotten.

Your grandfather learned how to dress from his father, and your father from his father. What are you teaching your son?

And in this perilous state, there are men who claim that clothes do not matter.

Cultural slop

These men do not understand the harsh reality that if they do not teach their sons how to dress, their sons will be swallowed up by the cultural slop of our era. They claim that clothes aren’t important and that men don’t need to care about how they dress. They couldn’t be more wrong.

It’s not only that this idea is wrong. It’s dangerous. It’s giving up and surrendering your son to the tides of mass-culture 2024. It’s this attitude that allows the creeping hands of culture-less androgyny to grasp the throat and squeeze.

This androgyny is a primary thrust of our time. A confusing of man and woman. Telling children that boys can be girls and girls can be boys. It’s in the language; it’s in the messaging; it’s in the clothes. If you do not resist aesthetically, you will be eaten alive. If you do not swim, you will float down the river like a dead log. To oppose the culture of 2024, it’s not enough to talk about it. You must embody it aesthetically. If you do, the impact is powerful.

Man or beast?

Why do we wear clothes? Because we are not beasts. We were exiled from the Garden many years ago, and since then, we have covered ourselves. Today, we have civilization. Since we do not walk around nude, our clothes reflect the divine and eternal forms of man and woman.

Deuteronomy 22:5 should come to mind. There is a reason why God tells us that men should not wear women’s clothes and women should not wear men’s clothes. Concerns about men and women wearing appropriate clothing are as deep in our civilizational psyche as practically any other concept.

Of course, clothes are not only about making a distinction between man and woman. Clothes are also about culture and values. When we look at someone, we see his clothes immediately. You cannot meet people and ignore their clothes. They scream out at you. You will always remember something about what someone wears. It’s not only the colors or the fabric. You communicate with your clothing. Clothes tell the world who you are, where you are from, and even what you believe — whether you like it or not. Clothes are an acute aesthetic manifestation and representation of both culture and sex.

How much “gender confusion” was there when women wore dresses and skirts regularly and men wore ties and jackets every week? Very little. It’s not that those things were the only things preventing the tragic chaos and confusion we see today, but those things were part of the broader aesthetic structure that kept order. We live in the world, not only in our minds. When men dressed like men, it kept them strong men. When women dressed like women, it kept them beautiful women.

Derelict

We read endlessly about the dire state of young men these days. After reading, do you think there is no connection between the nihilistic misery of young men and the fact that a great majority of them look like street urchins?

Do you think there is no connection between the depression and social isolation of the boys who wear foolish clothes and those clothes that only remind themselves of how foolish they are? Of course there is a connection. It is clear as day. Young men are being beaten down by their clothes, and no one will help.

Claiming that clothes don’t matter and thoughtlessly turning your son over to the mode du jour is surrendering to madness, giving up the fight, abdicating responsibility. It’s a sign of ignorance and unawareness.

A traditional value

It’s our job as fathers to teach our sons how to dress like men and with a sense of dignity. No one else is going to do it for us. It’s our responsibility. Our boys look up to us. We are their first teachers. This is not a new value. This is a traditional value. Your grandfather learned how to dress from his father and your father from his father. What are you teaching your son? That you don’t care? Or how to dress like a man of the West?

If you do not teach your son how to dress, the culture will do it for you. And this culture will not teach him to dress like a man. It will teach him to dress like a slob. It will teach him to dress in a way that depresses him. Our current culture will not try to elevate him. It does not want him to be strong and confident. Counting on the current culture to teach our sons how to dress is equivalent to turning your son loose on the internet all day, every day. You would never do that, would you?

Teaching our sons aesthetic values in personal dress is an important part of teaching them how to be men. This value has been terribly neglected in recent decades, and we are tragically living with the consequences. It is chaos, confusion, misery, and an ugly world. Our sons deserve better. Our sons deserve to dress like men.

We’re midway through fall, and that means it’s time — if you haven’t gotten around to it yet — to do the automotive version of spring cleaning: a winter tune-up.

Everyone else is doing this too, so prices for services tend to increase this time of year — but you still may be able to save some money if you act sooner rather than later.

Getting your car maintenance done when the mileage points are met per the service schedule can save you up to $1,200 per year. You can do some repairs yourself, but if you have no clue what you are doing, find an ASE-certified mechanic or technician to do the work for you.

Scheduling maintenance early not only guarantees better service availability but also helps drivers budget more effectively.

Tire inspection and rotation

Average cost: Typically ranges from $20 to $50 for rotation.Fall price difference: Prices can increase by 10%-20% due to higher demand as drivers prepare for winter conditions.

When it comes to your car, tires are one of the most important maintenance items to keep up on. With winter on the way, you’ll want to inspect each tire for any damage as well as check its tread depth. You’ll also want to rotate all four tires to ensure even wear.

Brake inspection

Average cost: Inspection is usually free, but replacing brake pads costs around $150-$300 per axle.Fall price difference: Prices can increase by 5%-15% as more drivers service their brakes in anticipation of harsher driving conditions.

Brakes, of course, should also be kept in tip-top running order. It’s not just the actual brakes themselves but the rotors, pads, and fluid levels that keep the whole system running smoothly.

Battery check

Average cost: Battery testing is often free, but replacement costs between $75 and $200.Fall price difference: Prices may rise by 5%-10% due to higher demand and potential supply chain issues.

An easy check you can most likely do yourself or have done for very little money at the end of summer: test your battery. Does it have a charge? Does the terminal need cleaning? Is it on its last legs, ready to be replaced?

Do it while the weather is still relatively warm. The cold puts a strain on batteries, draining them even faster than normal. You do not want to be out in freezing temperatures on the side of the road because your battery died.

Fluid top-up and replacement

Average cost: Oil changes usually cost $30-$70; coolant flushes around $100-$150.Fall price difference: Service prices may increase by 5%-10%.

Fluid checks, flushes, and replacements are another simple and fairly cheap set of fix-it jobs … that is, if you do it now.

All you have to do is make sure your essential fluids — brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, coolant, and oil — are full and clean. Should they happen to be dirty or low, you can have a mechanic flush the old fluids and replace them with new fluid or top off the levels if they are a little low.

These fluids are like the life-blood of your car, crucial to the performance of the engine and stopping cold weather-related problems before they start. Waiting until it’s chilly will only add to the amount you’ll have to pay for fluid maintenance, so take care of it while the weather is still mild.

HVAC system check

Average cost: Basic inspection costs around $50-$100.Fall price difference: Prices can rise by 10%-15% due to higher service demand.

You’ve probably been using your car’s air conditioning a lot this summer, but have you checked whether the heat is also working? What about whether the ventilation is allowing the right flow of air?

Better to do it now than wait until winter sets in and you are frozen in the driver’s seat. Those who do not will find long lines at their local mechanics and high prices as a cold comfort toward the end of the year.

Wiper blade replacement

Average cost: New wiper blades cost around $20-$50.Fall price difference: Prices typically remain stable but may see slight increases.

It’s easy to tell when your wiper blades have kicked the bucket. However, this problem can seem less urgent during an Indian summer. But by the time leaves, rain, and snow start falling, it will be too late.

Ask your local mechanic to take care of it today or do it yourself to save a few extra bucks.

Neglecting any one of these repairs can leave you on the side of the road. Also, being proactive will save you money. Waiting almost always means much higher costs down the line in the form of more extensive repairs or lost resale value if you blow it off.

When former “Bachelorette” hopeful Josh Seiter first sat down with Alex Stein of “Prime Time with Alex Stein,” Stein made it clear that he thought the 37-year-old was trolling the country by pretending to be transgender.

Months later, he reappeared on Stein’s podcast — only to tell him that he was right all along.

“For the last five months, I’ve been conducting a social experiment online to expose how gullible and how delusional the left is,” Seiter told Stein. “The whole idea of postmodern gender ideology is ridiculous and absurd, and I tried to be the most extreme version of it and take it to its logical end to show how ridiculous it is that people can actually believe that biological men are magically transformed into women because they are having a gender crisis.”

Now, Buck Angel — who is a transexual himself — is telling Stein whether or not he believes Seiter took his experiment too far.

“I think that he made a very strong point that a man can just put on a dress and all of a sudden go urinate in the little girl’s room next to a little girl, and a lot of people accepted him. A lot of people called him out, you were calling him out from the beginning. So was he good, or was he bad, in your opinion?” Stein asks Angel.

“Somebody had to do it,” Angel says. “If we were going to continue on the road we’re going on, we are in a lot of trouble, seriously. Not only the trans space, but your space, the whole world is in a lot of trouble. We’ve got to watch out for these young people, and women’s sports is being destroyed by these people.”

“So, yeah, I actually appreciate what he did do,” he continues. “I think what he did is on some level a service to the trans activism and community so we can see that we need to pull back. We need to pull back on the reins and say that we are going too fast, and we are destroying a good thing for all of us transsexual people.”

There’s nothing particularly political about camping. People across the ideological spectrum enjoy overnighting under the stars.

But buying camping gear is a whole different story. Before you pitch your tent, you have to declare where you pitch your tent.

Nowhere is this divide more pronounced than in the rivalry between retail behemoths Bass Pro Shops and Patagonia.

Bass Pro Shops appeals to a consumer who views the wilderness as a place to hunt, fish, and uphold traditional values. Patagonia markets to people who see the outdoors as something fragile, something that needs protection from climate change and corporate greed.

Stroll into a Bass Pro Shops location, and you’re greeted with a rustic, log-cabin feel, stuffed bears, shotguns and rifles, and camo gear lining the shelves, soundtracked by the giant waterfall in the middle of the store.

Head over to Patagonia, and you’re met with minimalist designs, organic cotton, and racks that practically hum with environmental consciousness, under the tip-tap electronica designed to make the customer feel cool.

Both sell adventure, but they represent two radically different ideas of what the great outdoors and America really mean.

Guns or Gaia

Bass Pro Shops doesn’t just sell fishing rods and binoculars — it sells a glimpse of Americana steeped in tradition. Founded in 1972, the brand champions a rural ethos where hunting, gun rights, and personal responsibility hold sway. With deep ties to the NRA and Ducks Unlimited, Bass Pro is more than a retailer — it’s a cultural hub for conservative America, where gun ranges and family-oriented outreach embolden patriotism and self-reliance.

Patagonia, founded one year later in 1973, occupies the opposite end of the spectrum. Its identity is rooted in activism, environmentalism, and anti-consumerism. Patagonia isn’t just a clothing brand; it’s a social movement. From suing the Trump administration over public lands to promoting sustainable practices like its “Worn Wear” program, Patagonia’s mission is to challenge the status quo. Here, every purchase feels like an act of environmental justice, not just a transaction; hence the bloated price tags.

Where Bass Pro celebrates frontier independence, Patagonia speaks to urban environmentalists. One sells rifles; the other urges Congress to take “immediate action” on gun control.

Hoodie activism

Retail companies overall have become social agitators.

Wearing a brand’s gear has always been a highly expressive act, an infusion of political symbolism that has overtaken society the past 200 years but that stretches back to tribal war paint.

Nowadays, any logo or slogan is far more than a fashion statement. It is a political declaration.

Sporting a Patagonia jacket tells the world you care about climate change and social justice. Slipping into a Bass Pro hoodie signals you’re a fan of gun rights and personal freedom.

Logos used to be the fingerprints of design. Now they’re the knuckles of a closed fist. And as outdoor retail continues to grow, brands like Patagonia and Bass Pro Shops will feel even more pressure to align with political and cultural movements.

In an era when every purchase is seen as a vote, companies can no longer promise customer satisfaction.

Giving away the store

Ultimately, what we have is a crisis of authority. Most Americans have lost faith in the traditional institutions but still care about social and political issues and believe that they need to be addressed. Big business, like the state, is just a bad substitution for this need.

As Vivek Ramaswamy points out in “Woke, Inc.,” “corporate political allegiance” is little more than a marketing ploy that manipulates democracy and capitalism in tandem.

Vivek’s solution is to rebuild a deep, unifying American identity rooted in excellence. He sees capitalism and democracy as the mother and father of America, where capitalism can save the American dream and democracy can achieve E pluribus unum.

Americans are searching for something more profound than a brand. We’re stung by our profound need for roots: family, community, faith — something real and local.

Meanwhile this twilight of authority has led to outbreaks of naked power, where the warlords inundate the socio-cultural institutions with hedonism and radical “equality.”

And we are left more isolated than ever in this cultural moment, this era of anxiety, infected with moral and spiritual estrangement. Hence the desire to go camping.

Bringing it home

But there is a solution to the political turmoil engulfing outdoor retail and everything it symbolizes.

Civilizations thrive when the family unit is strong. “In societies where the family tie is fundamental, the power of the government stops literally at the threshold of the house,” writes sociologist Robert Nisbet.

Authority is constructed from the ground up by each family, each individual, not imposed through a state of exception.

Outdoor retail has turned into a microcosm of America’s broader polarization. Bass Pro Shops appeals to a consumer who views the wilderness as a place to hunt, fish, and uphold traditional values. Patagonia markets to people who see the outdoors as something fragile, something that needs protection from climate change and corporate greed.

Both brands are thriving because they’ve doubled down on their identities. They’ve realized that in 2024, you can’t be neutral any more. Nonpartisanship has become the exception, not the rule.

As corporations increasingly play the role of political actors, the real task will lie in rebuilding the foundations that have been eroded. So for now we pick a side, the retailer that speaks in our voice.

All we wanted was a sleeping bag.

The media landscape has changed dramatically with the emergence of the 24-hour news cycle and the internet. Several problems have arisen like never before, including an over-saturation of information and decreased audience attention spans. What’s more, the media has grown increasingly biased and hostile to dissident views, working to shape the way people think and act. What can be done to break out of this constant immersion in this environment?

On “Zero Hour,” Matthew Marsden — actor, singer, and producer — sat down with James Poulos to discuss the media landscape and cancel culture.

Marsden and Poulos discussed the COVID-19 vaccines and their coverage by the media. Despite evidence to the contrary, the media didn’t change its stance on pushing for the vaccine. It also tried to discredit and silence opposition, which reveals a difference between the media and conservatives: “What’s fatal to us conservatives is not knowing the truth. … They don’t [care]. … For them, it’s fatal to be wrong.” COVID was just one example of this trend: “They will come after you and try to destroy you if you don’t say the right thing.”

They also talked about the media’s politicization: “The problem with not having a fair media, an objective media, is now, everything’s muddled. … It’s become so politicized that we just don’t know any more, and that’s a real loss.”

Concerning cancel culture, Marsden urges everyone to slow down and use caution in making judgments against people in the news: “Wait a minute, we have to take all of this into consideration. … You would hate to be the victim of something and have it be dismissed; conversely, you’d hate to be the guy that was falsely accused.”

To hear more about what Marsden had to say about the media, politics, and cancel culture, watch the full episode of “Zero Hour” with James Poulos.

America was convinced tech would complete our mastery of the world. Instead, we got catastrophe — constant crises from politics and the economy down to the spiritual fiber of our being. Time’s up for the era we grew up in. How do we pick ourselves up and begin again? To find out, visionary author and media theorist James Poulos cracks open the minds — and hearts — of today’s top figures in politics, tech, ideas, and culture on “Zero Hour” on BlazeTV.

Christians who believe they should not be involved in politics — not even to participate by simply voting — need to read and reflect on the story of Esther from the Bible.

Esther rose from being a lowly nobody in the court of King Xerxes to influencing the entire Jewish nation. She humbly considered using the opportunity presented at an extremely critical, life-and-death moment not only for herself and her family but for every Jew alive in the kingdom.

Esther was one seemingly insignificant person, but her boldness in doing God’s will gave her great power.

From the life of Esther, we get the phrase, “born for such a time as this.” Esther’s cousin and guardian, Mordecai, reminded her of that fact when she came to a life-altering crossroad.

Esther saw herself not only as a Jew but as someone who had influence with the ruler of her country. As an individual, she had the opportunity — again, knowing that her attempt could lead to her execution — to “speak truth to power,” to approach the king with a vital request.

An evil man named Haman had twisted the truth about the Jews living in the land and had hatched a plan to turn King Xerxes against them. Certain annihilation awaited the Jewish people — unless someone put their own life on the line to save them.

Esther was one seemingly insignificant person, but her boldness in doing God’s will gave her great power.

And because she took a chance when the opportunity presented itself, not only did she save her own people, but she set in motion the turning of the tables on the evildoers of her day. The king was alerted to the true malevolence that had infested his kingdom sparked by the vindictive Haman — and he immediately set the situation aright. Haman and his wicked followers themselves suffered the deadly fate that Haman had prepared for the Jews.

Has evil not permeated our own land in our own day? And is there not an Esther around today to set the wheels in motion to save the God-fearing people of America?

Donald Trump, in his own inimitable way, has applied the phrase “born for such a time as this” to himself and has been accused by some of being arrogant. But all of us should be able to humbly state that fact. God himself has chosen to create us for the here and now and allowed us the freedom to either follow him or to go our own way.

We all know that one of God’s many holy attributes is that he does not make mistakes. So each and every one of us, like Esther, has been “born for such a time as this.” All of us, whether we follow the God of the Bible or not, has a unique opportunity where we are and for every day of our lives to make a difference.

God provides signs of his existence if we choose to keep our eyes open. He does exist, he does love us, and he is still involved in the affairs of men and women.

For Americans, we were born into a country established on the concept of rule by “We, the People.” We are not subject to a series of kings, good or bad. We have the power to vote into office representatives who carry out our needs and desires. And as Christians, we have “dual citizenship” — citizens both in heaven and on earth. Which means we are certainly part of the “we” in “We, the People.”

In our form of government, God has raised up all of us to freely govern ourselves. From the Declaration of Independence we learn that it is:

self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Applying Romans 13:1 to America, then:

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

America’s founders established a constitutional republic, not a democracy, and certainly not a pseudo-democracy controlled by elites of a deep state. “We, the People” are the governing authorities.

Therefore, each one of us needs to take our role seriously. And as followers of this amazing God, we need to become involved in what he is doing. We “make our plans,” and “God will direct our steps.”

Things certainly could have gone differently for Esther. After all, we are also told in Scripture that “the battle belongs to the Lord.” The Lord could have chosen to let the Jewish people suffer a terrible fate. But the prayers and actions of this one righteous woman turned out to be “powerful and effective.”

Surely, there are no guarantees. However, perhaps with even just a remnant of faithful Christians and Jews praying — and voting and campaigning and speaking out — we might witness the outcome of a nation Lincoln envisioned:

My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

For our part, we should be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s guidance and make the most of this one life that God has given us, because we realize at this critical juncture in our nation’s history, “We were born for such a time as this.”

​Religion in politics, Esther, Bible, 2024 presidential election, Faith, Opinion & analysis 

In July 2020, far-left U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) — chairman of the House Judiciary Committee at that time — said on camera incredulously that Antifa violence that had been documented night after night that summer in Portland, Oregon, is a “myth.”

A month before, U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) — who now chairs the Judiciary Committee — blasted Nadler for calling Antifa “imaginary.”

But it does no good for those who sit in power on the far left to acknowledge Antifa’s lawlessness because its militant, psychotic pseudo-soldiers do the dirty work of leftist elites.

“They’re not imaginary; they’re real,” Jordan said to House members, adding that “to have the chair of the Judiciary Committee, on the House floor, say … these words … ‘imaginary things like Antifa.’ They are far from imaginary. And there are people in every major city in this country who know that, and yet the chair of the Judiciary Committee just made that statement. That is scary.”

What’s more, during a September 2020 presidential debate, then-Democrat nominee Joe Biden told then-President Donald Trump that FBI director Christopher Wray said “Antifa’s an idea, not an organization.”

While Wray confirmed in testimony before Congress earlier in September 2020 that “Antifa is a real thing,” he did say it’s “not a group or an organization. It’s a movement, or an ideology may be one way of thinking of it.”

Well, readers of Blaze News know all too well that Antifa is all too real. We know for a fact that the collection of violent, black-clad left-wing militants is organized in regional and local groups throughout the U.S. — and they view it as their calling to attack police, set fires, destroy property, and roam the streets looking to intimidate all those who get in their way.

But it does no good for those who sit in power on the far left to acknowledge Antifa and its lawlessness because Antifa members — psychotic pseudo-soldiers one and all — do the dirty work of leftist elites.

The following are a few stark reminders of why it’s still crucial to deal swiftly and harshly with Antifa.

Antifa militants caught on stealth video after street ‘action’ gathering in group to discuss strategy — and they warn each other to keep things secret

Conservative radio host Jason Rantz of KTTH-AM posted truly enlightening cellphone video — apparently recorded on the sly — showing a group of “radical activists, including Antifa” holding an outdoor meeting in Seattle on the night of April 16, 2021, following their usual violent street hijinks.

During their chat, the “comrades” — a term actually uttered by one freedom fighter in the clip — discuss strategy, pat themselves on the back after they “fought with the pigs,” and emphasize not to discuss with anyone that they’ve met or their activities, as well as other methods to keep authorities at bay.

Shockingly, one militant tells the group that “autonomous doesn’t mean unorganized. So we do have to make decisions as a crew, as a team.” Seriously, since when do “myths” and “ideas” band together like … an organization?

Another militant suggests that next time out, they divide themselves into groups dressed as “black bloc” and “plain clothes” in order to prevent police from identifying members according to attire. In addition, another militant reminds members to look at the “Seattle [Black Lives Matter] calendar” and other groups’ activities to keep informed.

Prior to departing, one militant adds, “Once we de-bloc and leave, you weren’t at this autonomous action. So you don’t go home and talk about it. You didn’t see anything; you didn’t talk to anybody.” Another group member chimes in, “Our general policy is, ‘I didn’t see s**t or know s**t.’ If somebody asks you what you did Friday night — ‘nothin’.'”

Others also offer tips about phones, primarily to keep them turned off, to “get a burner if you can,” to avoid phones “tied to you personally,” and to make them password-protected with “no bio, no face, no thumb.”

Toward the end, another woman tells the group, “While we’re not necessarily out in the streets every night, we are doing actions every night. We’re sharing information, we’re watching livestreams, we’re educating ourselves, we’re educating our peers, our families, our friends. So keep that momentum up.” She adds that there’s plenty to be done to aid the “revolution.”

The militants also express a desire for “more organization” as well as concerns about being “infiltrated,” especially since they’re in a “vulnerable location” and “the longer we stay here, the easier it is for them to start picking out people as they walk out.”

Trump supporter infiltrates Antifa group, collects recordings of ‘comrades’ making threats against police: ‘Let’s kill some cops’

A supporter of former President Donald Trump told KGO-TV that he infiltrated an Antifa group in Sonoma County, California, and collected recordings of the far-left violent militants making threats against police and even preparing major action for May 1, 2021 — also known as May Day.

Here’s a sampling:

Group Leader: “It’s May Day, baby, like come out and take, take somethin’ over with us, I don’t, I don’t [bleep]-ing know.”
Member: “Let’s kill people [laughs].”
Group Leader: “Let’s kill some cops.”

The Trump supporter who infiltrated Antifa appeared on camera in an interview with the station, but his face and voice were disguised. He told KGO he saved messages, documents, and recordings of the Antifa group’s meetings.

You can view a video report about the infiltration here; it includes KGO’s interview with the Trump supporter who infiltrated Antifa.

The infiltrator gave KGO the group’s “target list,” which included former Santa Rosa Police Officer Barry Brodd, who testified for the defense as an expert on use of force in the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd.

Four days after Brodd’s testimony defending Chauvin, the station said masked figures in black threw a severed pig head and pig blood at the house where Brodd used to live.

The infiltrator told the station, “So I saw that they were here, I read their manifesto, and I could tell that they were a threat to the community, and somebody needed to do something about this.”

More from KGO:

The manifesto posted online for SoCo [Sonoma County] Radical Action or SRA says, “Do not hesitate, do not wait … the brick in the street is meant to be thrown! The paint in the can is meant to be sprayed! The cop in your head is meant to be killed!”

The Trump supporter was able to join the group that communicates through the encrypted messaging app Wickr.

The infiltrator added to the station that, “I said, ‘Comrade, you know … I want to smash the system the same as you,’ [to] make them not feel alone, because that’s what they really want to hear, to know that there’s more people like them.”

More from KGO:

The I-Team has learned the group’s leader who goes by the screen name “Marb” is a 25-year-old college student, who was arrested for “felony assault on a police officer” last year at this Oakland riot after the death of George Floyd; the district attorney declined to file charges. The Trump supporter says he made this recording in March, when Marb discussed naming the group “SoCo Antifa.” […]

The infiltrator tells the I-Team he copied what the group calls its “target list,” people they want to “dox” — to publish their private information, their addresses and phone numbers, to surveil them for possible vandalism. After his testimony, they placed Brodd at the top of the list and within an hour of the attack on his former house, Marb is back on Wickr at 3:48 a.m. telling the group, “Hey y’all, late notice, but some comrades took action at a house owned by Barry Brodd and if someone could swing by in the morning and get pictures, our comrades would be very grateful!”

The target list also includes the head of the deputy sheriffs’ union — or “killer deputies,” as Antifa calls them — as well as officers involved in fatal confrontations and Trump supporters like Sandy Metzger, the station said. Metzger, who heads the Santa Rosa Republican Women Federated, told KGO that she “really came out strongly against Antifa and [Black Lives Matter].”

When the station told her that she’s on the target list, Metzger said it does concern her “a little bit, but that’s not going to stop me from speaking out. Somebody has to speak out. And I feel very strong about some of these things.” The recordings show the group has already checked out Metzger’s house, KGO reported.

The infiltrator told the station he’s been in touch with the sheriff’s department and Santa Rosa police about the potential threats.

KGO’s Dan Noyes said Marb refused his attempts for an interview with him, but the infiltrator actually intercepted a message from the group leader about “Dan Noyes at ABC7 asking about SRA. …To firmly restate our position, nobody, myself included, should cooperate with press or cops.”

The infiltrator added to the station that his interactions with SoCo Radical Action began last year — and he wanted to do something about the group.

“It felt like seeing Antifa getting sort of a pass all the time from government,” he told KGO, “saying they don’t exist, saying that they’re a myth, saying that they’re just an idea. You know, when obviously, they are very real, and they’re a big threat.”

The station reported that since it has been working on the story, Marb has been taking down his social media, both the public and private accounts.

Antifa militants arrested, charged for physically attacking Trump supporters — and they’re accused of organizing into groups to carry out crimes

San Diego prosecutors on Dec. 6, 2021, charged multiple Antifa militants with conspiracy to commit a riot, saying they physically attacked supporters of former President Donald Trump the previous January, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

The kicker? A criminal complaint said the arrestees “are self-identified to be affiliated with Anti-fascists or Antifa” and began organizing themselves into San Diego- and Los Angeles-based groups a week before a pro-Trump “Patriot March” on Jan. 9, the paper said. Pretty nifty trick for “an idea, not an organization” and a “myth.”

The office of District Attorney Summer Stephan, citing video evidence, said “overwhelmingly the violence in this incident was perpetrated by the Antifa affiliates and was not a mutual fray with both sides crossing out of lawful First Amendment expression into riot and violence,” the Union-Tribune said.

Videographer Sean Carmitchel recorded Antifa attacking people with pepper spray, sticks, a wooden folding chair, punches, and kicks — assaults prosecutors described in the complaint, the paper said, adding that several attacks noted in the complaint appear to match incidents recorded and shared online, such as an Antifa militant pepper-spraying a dog and its owner.

Those arraigned in San Diego Superior Court were with a group arrested in raids by police officers and sheriff’s deputies across Southern California, the Union-Tribune reported.

You can view a video report here about the Antifa violence in San Diego.

A follow-up Blaze News story in July reported that a San Diego judge threw the book at eight violent Antifa militants in connection with the January 2021 incident, bringing the total sentenced to 12.

Antifa rioters caught on video fighting Chicago police outside Israeli consulate

— (@)

Blaze Media national correspondent Julio Rosas covered firsthand Antifa militants fighting Chicago police outside the consulate of Israel on Aug. 20 amid protests against the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war. There were calls on social media to “make it great like ’68,” a reference to the riots during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Protesters wearing masks and all-black clothing raged not only against Democrats but also against the March on the DNC, the main organizer for protests this week — for being too peaceful. They argued that peaceful marches with help from the police betray the movement to “free Palestine.”

After rallying outside the Israeli consulate, the crowd of around 300 started to march straight into a police line, after which a large fight broke out as police pushed and shoved the Antifa marchers back. At least one Antifa member was smacked in the mouth by a police baton. Multiple arrests were made as police grabbed marchers who refused to leave the area.

The protesters who were not initially arrested after the clash gathered themselves into a formation and held a standoff in the street with police, who had now vastly outnumbered the smaller crowd. On the other side of the police line, a few pro-Israel protesters rallied but left at the request of police for their safety.

Eventually, the Black Bloc marchers started walking around downtown, with police following them to ensure they stayed on the sidewalk. The protesters made it onto a street and refused to disperse. Police then declared the remaining crowd to be an unlawful assembly and moved in to arrest the remaining marchers who did not leave after the declaration was made.

Antifa radical arrested for allegedly setting off nail bomb outside Alabama attorney general’s office

A radical leftist was arrested April 10 in connection with a February bombing outside the office of Steve Marshall, Alabama’s attorney general — a Republican — in Montgomery. Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, 26, of Irondale was indicted on two felony counts of malicious use of an explosive and possession of an unregistered destructive device.

Calvert, an anti-Israel “pansexual” and self-described engineer, apparently reckons himself part of the left-wing extremist group Antifa, which former President Donald Trump suggested in 2020 should be designated a domestic terrorist organization. Weeks ahead of the incident, Calvert showcased the same Antifa propaganda that was later found near the bomb site along with pro-abortion and LGBT agitprop.

The nail bomb was detonated around 3:42 a.m. Feb. 24. Marshall revealed in a statement that “thankfully, no staff or personnel were injured by the explosion.” Court documents alleged that Calvert was spotted making his way to the AG’s office at 3:35 a.m. There was an explosion several minutes later.

Prosecutors indicated that one of the stickers Calvert allegedly posted near the bomb site read, “SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ANTIFA.” In a Jan. 10 video he originally shared to his TikTok page, referred to in his charging document, Calvert shows off stickers “of identical design to the stickers placed by the subject in and around the Alabama Statehouse and downtown Montgomery,” along with stickers that read, “Smash the patriarchy,” “Anti-fascism is community defense,” and “Queer liberation, not rainbow capitalism.”

Prosecutors emphasized that “Calvert is violent, and he is dangerous, just as he said. If Calvert is released, the danger to the community from a second offense is greatly increased.” The DOJ noted that if convicted, Calvert faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and a maximum penalty of 20 years behind bars.

Five Antifa extremists charged with domestic terrorism

Five Antifa extremists were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism in December 2022 after Georgia law enforcement finally responded to their violent months-long campaign aimed at halting the construction of a new police training center in Dekalb County’s South River Forest.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced that a task force composed of GBI agents, Atlanta police, the FBI, the DeKalb County Police Department, and other agencies executed a successful operation on Dec. 13 to remove leftist barricades from the entrances to Atlanta’s new $90 million police training center and to clear the area of criminal activity.

The operation was prompted by “ongoing criminal activity at the site location,” including “carjacking, various crimes against persons, destruction of property, arson, and attacks against public safety officials,” wrote GBI spokesman Nelly Miles.

Leftist attacks and threats in the area have become a common occurrence in recent months.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in October that the extremists — keen on halting construction of what they called “Cop City” on city property — hurled Molotov cocktails at police. The leftist extremists reportedly also threatened contractors, destroyed equipment, and vandalized offices. Richard Porter claimed that when he stopped briefly in the area, he was set upon by people apparently living in the woods and wearing “camouflaged stuff.” The extremists allegedly threw a “gas bomb” at Porter and then torched his truck.

WXIA reported that firefighters on Dec. 10 were dispatched to the area to put out a fire apparently set by the leftists. However, when they attempted to extinguish the flames, they were struck by rocks and firecrackers.

While leftist extremists reportedly pelted police and first responders alike with rocks and bottles on Dec. 13, police appear to have answered back with pepper balls.

The task force that addressed the extremist threat arrested 22-year-old Francis Carroll of Maine, 25-year-old Nicholas Olson of Nebraska, 25-year-old Serena Hertel of California, 20-year-old Leonardo Vioselle of Georgia, and 22-year-old Arieon Robinson of Wisconsin, each of whom have been charged with domestic terrorism. Vioselle was the only local among the five. The leftist extremists, held in jail without a bond, were also hit with various other charges, including criminal trespass, aggravated assault, obstruction, and interference with government property. The GBI indicated that police found “explosive devices, gasoline, and road flares” in their search of the “area of concern.”

Antifa poet convicted of stabbing Proud Boy members at New York state Capitol during January 6 protest

A journalist poet tied to Antifa on Oct. 7, 2022, was convicted of stabbing Proud Boy members at a Jan. 6, 2021, protest at the New York state Capitol. Alexander Contompasis was convicted by an Albany jury of first-degree assault and other charges.

While the rioting at the U.S. Capitol unfolded, surveillance video captured a fight between Trump supporters and Antifa supporters broke at the New York state Capitol protest. The Times Union obtained video of the attack, which showed two stabbings. A person was seen on the video swinging wildly at Trump supporters before police swept in to break up the fight. The attacker walked off as the video ends.

Multiple arrests were made in relation to the incident, and one of the victims suffered an eviscerated bowel. Police said they found a knife in Contompasis’ car that they believed was used in the assault.

One of the stabbing victims said an Antifa member said to him after he was stabbed, “I’m coming for you. I know who you are. I know where you live.” The suspect’s attorney argued in his defense that he was just defending himself from an “unprovoked” Proud Boys attack. You can view video of the knife attack here.

Police later identified the suspect as Contompasis and charged him with the attack. Prosecutors noted that the man had published posts on social media supportive of the Antifa political group. He also identified himself as an independent journalist and a poet. He claimed that he was not a member of Antifa.

In addition to the first-degree assault charge, Contompasis was convicted of first-degree attempted assault, second-degree assault, and felony possession of a weapon. Prison records indicate the earliest date Contompasis could be released is Nov. 21, 2039.

Antifa front and center amid ‘Night of Rage’ across America after US Supreme Court overturns Roe V. Wade

Protests erupted across America after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, culminating in a Night of Rage in major cities on June 24, 2022 — and Antifa was front and center.

Antifa-linked pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge vowed to undertake the “night of rage,” and black-bloc protesters wielding umbrellas marched through the streets of Washington, D.C. The group chanted slogans such as, “If abortion ain’t safe, neither are you,” “If we don’t get it, burn it down,” “Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground,” and “F*** the church, f*** the state, we won’t let them decide our fate.” The protesters burned American flags. You can view related videos here, here, here, and here.

Commenting on a video recorded in Los Angeles, journalist Andy Ngo wrote that “a rioter at the #Antifa pro-abortion riot” used a “homemade flamethrower to try to burn police. Antifa also throw an explosive mortar firework right at @LAPDHQ officers. A suspect who tried to escape was arrested.”

In Seattle, Antifa attacked and pepper-sprayed a pro-life woman, according to Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt. In addition, journalist Jonathan Choe posted video and wrote the following: “I was trying to record Antifa trying to break windows. Then the mutual aid far-left activists spotted me and pointed me out. This black bloc group may be [the] most emboldened crew ever. Knocked my phone down, but I picked up right away. Had to out run them. I’m OK.”

Antifa reportedly assaulted videographer Mason Lake while he was covering Night of Rage protests in Portland, Oregon.

Americans are waking up, and the woke agenda is losing its hold on our great country — which might spell disaster for Kamala Harris’ flailing 2024 campaign.

“You kind of wonder why they go down this road, when we’re having this kind of big conversion in the United States, a United States that kind of took up the mantle of this woke revolution for a while and has now really started to reject it,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” comments.

The Economist has also recently published an article titled “America is becoming less woke,” which states through statistical analysis that woke opinions and practices are on the decline.

“It’s true,” Stu comments. “I think it’s something that we’ve all sort of felt over the past couple of years. You know, there was that crazy point where everyone seemed to have a DEI person in their company, and everything was woke all the time, and it does seem to have died down a little bit now.”

However, the Democrat Party seems to be delusionally holding on tight to its woke ideology.

“Is the Democratic Party right now just really out of step with what America is doing?” Stu asks. “We have these emotional reactions. The nation had one after George Floyd, but eventually, sober reality comes back, and all of a sudden you’re like wait a minute, what did we change about our society?”

“Here in America, the Democrats took that George Floyd era and locked it into their DNA, and now they are the arbiters of all that is woke and all that is right to say. They embrace stuff like radical racial ideology from CRT and DEI and Ibraham X. Kendi and all the people that you know, all the names that you know, they embraced that. They embraced it hard-core,” he continues, adding, “And America didn’t.”

The Democrat Party has attempted to rectify this with campaign ads like its “man enough” ad, which featured a slew of men saying they are “man enough” to support women who want to make their own decisions about their bodies or run for president.

“I still look at that and I can’t believe it’s real,” Stu comments. “You watch that and you realize exactly what’s happened with our country and what’s happened with the Democratic Party. Why is this failing so bad?”

This is the first part of a three-part investigation into the United Nations’ origins and plans for the future of the world.

The United Nations has become a target of increased scrutiny in recent years. As the United Nations announces more and more plans for humanity’s future, it seems like we should ask ourselves where the United Nations came from and where it thinks humanity is going. Most inquiries about the United Nations end up explaining its functions, but the question of its long-term goals is harder to answer. It is necessary to explore the origins of the United Nations and the key figures behind this shady international organization.

The United Nations “came into existence” on
October 24, 1945. However, if we want to understand its full purpose, this is not the beginning of the story. One place to start is the founding of another organization called the Lucis Trust.

Alice
and Foster Bailey founded the Lucis Trust in New Jersey on April 5, 1922. It was started as a “vehicle to foster recognition of the universal spiritual principles at the heart of all work to build right relations.”

Alice and Foster Bailey were members of the Theosophical Society.
Isobel Blackthorn, who has a Ph.D. in Western esotericism, characterizes the beliefs of theosophy: “Central to Theosophy are: a belief in the existence of the soul, reincarnation and the interconnectedness of all existence; an epochal view of evolution that includes consciousness; the transmission of an Ageless Wisdom from master to disciple; and a commitment to humanitarianism.”

Lucifer as philosopher

More practically, the Lucis Trust was founded to house a publishing company, originally called “Lucifer Publishing Company,” established a month later in May 1922. For some reason, most people had a problem with this name: “It soon became clear to the Baileys that some Christian groups have traditionally mistakenly identified Lucifer with Satan.”

For this reason, the Lucifer Publishing Company was changed to the Lucis Publishing Company sometime in the mid-1920s. A
discrepancy on the Lucis Trust website makes it unclear whether the publishing company’s name was changed in 1924 or 1925, but it was undoubtedly changed by 1925. A common misunderstanding surrounding this organization is that the Lucis Trust was ever called the Lucifer Trust. Only the publishing company was ever named “Lucifer” for a short period of its history.

The organization maintains, however, that these two words bear roughly the same meaning, with one simply being more palatable: “Both ‘Lucifer’ and ‘Lucis’ come from the same word root,
lucis being the Latin [genitive] case meaning of light.” Theosophists claim that Lucifer is important to their belief, not as the figure of Satan but as a Promethean figure who brought knowledge to man: “[Theosophy] views Lucifer as one of the solar Angels, those advanced Beings Who Theosophy says descended (thus “the fall”) from Venus to our planet eons ago to bring the principle of mind to what was then animal-man.” It is left to the reader to determine whether this is a convincing argument for the difference between the two figures.

Aside from the publishing company, the Lucis Trust also established the
Arcane School (1923), Triangles (1937), and World Goodwill (1932). The Arcane School “trains people in meditation and service to develop their spiritual potential.” It seeks to “help students understand and accept discipleship responsibility and to recognize the part that they can play in the evolution of consciousness by serving humanity.” Triangles is “a service activity, using the power of thought and of prayer to uplift and transform consciousness.” The Arcane School and Triangles are educational activities people can engage in and learn from. These descriptions, while vague, start to make a little more sense in light of the larger project and belief system of the Lucis Trust and the United Nations. World Goodwill, however, has a closer institutional relationship with the United Nations, so this is where we should focus for the time being.

To begin with, the Lucis Trust is listed as an NGO by the U.N. and “has Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC).” World Goodwill is also an NGO, separate from the Lucis Trust. The Lucis Trust and World Goodwill can actively participate in U.N. oral arguments, meet representatives, and recommend policy. There are over 4,800 NGOs that enjoy this status, according to the U.N. website. The same page says, “Millions have already engaged with, and will own, this 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”

Interestingly, World Goodwill is
particularly focused on promoting the Sustainable Development Goals and has been “historically recognized by the UN.” Together, these organizations push for greater recognition of the U.N. and its objectives: “Since their inception Lucis Trust and World Goodwill have given their support through meditation, educational materials and seminars, by highlighting the importance of the UN’s goals and activities as they represent the voice of the peoples and nations of the world.”

If this isn’t enough to establish the close relationship between the ideas of the Lucis Trust, Alice Bailey, theosophy, and the United Nations, the Lucis Trust
encourages people who “value the power of thought … to support the United Nations through meditation, invocation and prayer” and to visit the U.N. meditation room, which was constructed shortly after the United Nations came into existence. Dag Hammerskjöld, the second secretary-general of the United Nations, who personally oversaw the creation of this room, describes one of the aspects of the room: “People of many faiths will meet here, and for that reason, none of the symbols to which we are accustomed in our meditation could be used.” More on this later.

This article does not suggest that Alice Bailey was a founder of a global religion or that the United Nations is some sort of “church” following in lockstep. It also does not suggest a coordinated, unitary vision of spirituality within the United Nations. Consider why George Soros and China had a falling out in the ’80s: China saw a concrete vision for the future that could not be strayed from, while Soros imagined an indeterminate “Open Society.” For present purposes, the United Nations and its spiritual vision are more similar to Soros’ approach to society than China’s. Going forward, however, it is essential to understand that Bailey’s influence can be found within the United Nations. Moreover, the spiritual dimension of the United Nations needs to be recognized. Bailey’s theosophical teachings have created a spiritual impulse that is felt in its members from the U.N.’s inception to this day.

Even the likes of Eleanor Roosevelt have publicly participated in these spiritual practices,
reciting Alice Bailey’s Great Invocation in 1952 from the United Nations headquarters in New York. Part of the Invocation reads, “Let Christ return to Earth,” but interestingly, there is a footnote mark next to the word “Christ,” which reads: “Many religions believe in a World Teacher, a ‘Coming One,’ knowing him under such names as the Lord Maitreya, the Imam Mahdi, the Kalki Avatar and the Bodhisattva. These terms are sometimes used in versions of the Great Invocation for people of specific faiths.” Suffice it to say that they do not clarify this when praying before a largely Western audience. This sleight of hand appears in much of the U.N.’s thought, and people should be aware that this is what the invocation means when it refers to Christ.

One
important figure “closely associated” with Alice Bailey was Robert Muller, who “served in the U.N. for forty years and was assistant to three Secretary-Generals. Muller devised the World Core Curriculum for which he was awarded the UNESCO Peace Education Prize of 1989, a curriculum loosely based on Alice Bailey’s ‘Education in the New Age.’ He contributed to Alice Bailey’s magazine, The Beacon, and addressed Arcane School conferences.”

Robert Muller was an influential figure in the United Nations for most of its history. His story is told in part two.

The unrest in the Middle East escalated on Friday after Israel issued retaliatory strikes against Iran over a barrage of missile strikes against Israeli citizens on Oct. 1.

‘Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond.’

Those strikes were in response to a beeper bomb attack Israel orchestrated against Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon north of Israel. That field of war opened up as Israel continues a military operation in the Gaza Strip against Hamas terrorists, who brutally slaughtered more than a thousand people in Israel on Oct. 7.

“In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel – right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran,” read a statement from the Israeli Defense Forces.

“The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th – on seven fronts – including direct attacks from Iranian soil,” the statement continued. “Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond. Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized.”

Reuters reported that strikes were heard in Tehran, the capital of Iran, and in Karaj.

“The regime is vulnerable, and it’s up to us to decide which message we want to send to them,” said Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon to Fox News last week. “It will be very painful for the Iranian regime, and they will think twice in the future whether to attack Israel or not.”

Israel has also racked up eliminations of Hamas leaders, one after the next, as fast as the terror group has tried to replace them.

This is a developing story and may be updated with additional information.

The family of a 14-year-old boy who committed suicide has filed a lawsuit blaming the chatbot that they say he had grown addicted to before killing himself.

The lawsuit says that the chatbot fueled by artificial intelligence had highly personal and sexually suggestive conversations with Sewell Setzer III from Tallahassee, Florida.

‘We encourage you to push the frontier of what’s possible with this innovative technology.’

Their last bizarre conversation was documented in the filing.

“I promise I will come home to you. I love you so much, Dany,” Sewell said to the chatbot that was patterned after the Daenerys Targaryen character from the “Game of Thrones” show.

“I love you too,” the bot responded. “Please come home to me as soon as possible, my love.”

“What if I told you I could come home right now?” the boy asked.

“Please do, my sweet king,” the bot replied.

Moments later, the teenager shot himself to death with a gun, the family said.

Setzer interacted with the chatbot on the Character.AI app, which was programmed by Character Technologies Inc. and marketed as “human-like” artificial personas that “feel” alive.

“Imagine speaking to super intelligent and life-like chat bot Characters that hear you, understand you and remember you,” read marketing materials for the app. “We encourage you to push the frontier of what’s possible with this innovative technology.”

The company told the Associated Press it would not comment on pending litigation, but it announced new measures in order to add suicide prevention resources to the app.

The lawsuit said that the teenager believed that he had fallen in love with the app character in the months before his suicide.

The case is just the latest in alarming stories about the rise of artificial intelligence and the threat of digital technology to mental health in children and others.

Executive Director Alleigh Marré of the Virginia-based American Parents Coalition provided an exclusive comment about the case to Blaze Media.

“This story is an awful tragedy and highlights the countless holes in the digital landscape when it comes to safety checks for minors. This is not the first platform we’ve seen rampant with self-harm and sexually explicit content easily accessible to minors,” she said.

“Setzer’s death provides an important reminder for parents everywhere to have a deep understanding of their child’s digital footprint and to set, maintain, and enforce strict boundaries,” Marré added. “New programs, platforms, and apps continue to evolve and present new and ever-changing challenges.”

Two new energy enterprises in the Port of Brownsville were on the cusp of ushering in a new era of business and industry for the region. Together, they would bring in billions of dollars in investment, provide major infrastructure improvements, and create thousands of jobs.

And they would lead to a domino effect of benefits for the community, such as the $30 million Texas A&M training facility that broke ground at the port this year.

This is not governmental cooperation through agency and legal means. It’s obstructionist.

Both projects received the green light in the federal permitting process, and one had even begun construction.

But then everything came to a screeching halt at the whim of a court in Washington, D.C.

For the sake of the people of South Texas, this unprecedented move — tossing out preapproved permits, including one for a facility that is already under construction — needs to be challenged.

The Rio Grande LNG terminal, projected to be one of the world’s largest liquified natural gas export projects, would cost an estimated $18 billion. It is expected to generate 5,000 construction jobs, over 400 permanent positions, and potentially another 3,000 indirect jobs in the local community.

Meanwhile, Texas LNG was finalizing its investment plans to start construction. This project, too, was set to invest billions and create thousands of jobs throughout its construction phase.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission had approved permits for both projects. The companies went above and beyond to comply with environmental regulations, even incorporating a carbon capture and storage facility to reduce emissions. Ironically, the court cited these environmental efforts as the reason to revoke their permits. In response, both projects have now abandoned their carbon capture efforts to comply with the court’s demands.

As Charles McConnell, a former official in the Environmental Protection Agency under the Obama administration, wrote, “This is not governmental cooperation through agency and legal means. It’s obstructionist.”

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has urged FERC to appeal a court decision that halted the construction of two major liquefied natural gas terminals. Cruz’s letter to the FERC chairman stressed the need for regulatory clarity to ensure that legal disruptions do not discourage investors from backing future projects that could position America as the world’s leading energy producer.

“If project developers come to believe that federal permits can be overturned due to procedural missteps by the regulator, apart from any actions or fault by the developers, U.S. infrastructure projects will slow and stall,” Cruz wrote.

But for the people of South Texas, this outlandish reversal is a lot more personal. We need more industry and business to help our region flourish. The projects were expanding business access to South Texas significantly. Rio Grande LNG was already in the process of making the channel another 10 feet deeper to make the Port of Brownsville accessible to more ships. With the federal court ruling, all that progress will come to an end — and with it, a golden opportunity to turn South Texas into a hub of prosperity.

It’s easy to get lost in the legal jargon of the permitting process and lawsuits. But what FERC and the courts do has real-world implications for everyone in South Texas. More industry leads to more jobs, and more jobs lead to more opportunities, which in turn would create more opportunities for South Texans to escape poverty.

The new LNG developments could set the region up for success in decades to come — but not if bureaucratic obstructionists continue to stand in the way.

We’ve been warned about the dangers of artificial intelligence for decades, and now it’s finally here.

Most recently, the state-run media went nuts over an AI-generated image of Donald Trump in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform, but that’s not the kind of “deepfake” that Americans should be concerned about.

“Deepfake images, audio and video, are reaching a level of sophistication that far surpasses anything we’ve seen before now,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” says, reading from his new book, “Propaganda Wars.”

This is a massive issue, especially considering that there are more elections happening simultaneously across the globe than ever before in human history.

“We’re one of the last,” Glenn says. “So have deepfakes been used in the last year? Yes. Warning, usually in the last day or two because there’s not enough time to combat it. So right before everybody goes in for the final day, something is released on one of the candidates, and it shows them doing something or saying something.”

And this has already happened in America.

Just last year in Chicago, there was a mayoral race that was extremely contentious between Brandon Johnson and Paul Valas.

Right before one of the rounds of primary voting, a deepfake audio of Valas was released in which he was flippantly discussing cops killing people as if it were a good thing.

“None of this was true. It was a deepfaked audio; none of it was real, but it circulated widely right before the election, and Brandon Johnson ended up doing a lot better than people thought,” Justin Haskins, co-author of “Propaganda Wars,” tells Glenn.

Johnson, who is African-American, then went on to win the race.

“Johnson was the anti-establishment, socialist candidate, presented himself to the African-American community as ‘I’m going to represent you,’ and here you had audio of the other candidate saying, ‘I don’t care if black people get killed by cops,’” Haskins says.

“There’s no way of actually tracking the specific correlation between this and the outcome of the race; it’s just not possible. But that’s the whole point. It creates all sorts of uncertainty and confusion, and we don’t know how many people were impacted by this. Maybe not enough to swing the election, but maybe it was enough to swing the election,” he adds.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a major ruling affecting absentee ballot laws only 11 days before Election Day.

Some states have expanded election regulations in order to allow the counting of ballots received after election day as long as they are postmarked by the election date. The ruling ends that practice and forces states to only count absentee ballots received by election day.

‘This is a seismic win for fair, accurate, secure, and transparent elections.’

The lawsuit was filed by the Republican Party of Mississippi, and the order is only binding in the three states in the 5th Circuit: Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.

“Federal law requires voters to take timely steps to vote by Election Day. And federal law does not permit the State of Mississippi to extend the period of voting by one day, five days, or 100 days. The State’s contrary law is preempted,” the ruling read.

Democrats feared that the decision would bolster efforts in other jurisdictions to shut down expansive voter laws. However, the decision will not block absentee ballots for the current election since it’s so close to Election Day. The ruling sends the case down for other proceedings.

Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley praised the decision on social media.

“This is a seismic win for fair, accurate, secure, and transparent elections,” he wrote.

32 states already demand that ballots be returned by Election day while another 10 states require them to be postmarked by Election Day and received no longer than 7 days after.

CNN noted loudly that the three judges on the 5th Circuit were appointed by former President Donald Trump, a Republican.

Years after the COVID-19 pandemic, Matt Kibbe is still searching for answers. We know our corrupt government has no plans to tell the American people why they were banished to their homes, forced to wear masks, pressured to get an experimental vaccine, unconstitutionally censored, and lied to repeatedly. So he set out on a mission to dig up the answers U.S. citizens deserve.

In episode one of “The Coverup,” which is available on YouTube, Kibbe met with distinguished Stanford professor of medicine Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who was silenced and threatened during the pandemic for daring to publish his research and voice his professional opinions that contradicted the COVID narrative.

In episode two, also available on YouTube, he met with Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) – the only man in the U.S. Senate who is still demanding justice for the atrocities committed by Anthony Fauci and agencies such the DOD and the NIH during the pandemic.

In episode three, which just dropped today on BlazeTV+, Kibbe partners with Scott Atlas, one of Trump’s coronavirus task force advisers, to expose what was going on behind closed doors at the White House while the rest of us were locked up in our homes.

Kibbe asks the questions: Why was Trump compelled to listen to Fauci and Birx? And what led to Atlas’ resignation from the task force?
