FOR READERS who would like to read more about the emotionally-charged controversies surrounding the Holocaust, the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust has a website with a great deal of material. Here is the site’s statement of purpose, signed by Bradley R. Smith, Santiago Alvarez, Rodrigo Mendoza, and David Thomas: (more…)
MILLIONS of Jews were treated ruthlessly and barbarically by the Hitler regime during World War II. At the same time, the facts of the "Holocaust" have been distorted for political purposes. This distortion is a phenomenon which even prominent Jewish writers have lamented. In this radio broadcast, the historian Mark Weber gives a general overview.
NOT THAT long ago, the idea of a man “marrying” a man was unthinkable. But in a very short period of time, it went from unthinkable to reality with the help of a barrage of sympathetic, entirely one-sided articles in the media.
Not that long ago the idea of women serving as soldiers and being drafted into combat was unthinkable, and now we are being prepared for it. Since the Pentagon announced in December that all combat roles will be opened to female recruits, there is no longer any good reason for not having women register with the Selective Service and be drafted in the event of a major war. A men’s group has filed suit in federal court, arguing that the requirement for men to register with th Selective Service is discriminatory. They are right; it is discriminatory.
In December, there was a whole raft of articles about the possibility of the female draft. This piece in The Christian Science Monitor, which says that most women want to be drafted, is one example. Teenagers lecture us about the importance of women at war.
On this point, many women, both in the military and out, say they tend to agree.
“I know a lot of women, including myself, turned 18 and found out that women weren’t a part of the draft, and we couldn’t believe it,” says 1st Lt. Jill Mueller, a fire support officer commanding a Bradley tank crew. “That should be opened up. The women in our country are so strong, and if the draft were to happen there are so many jobs that women can do.”
Articles about women in combat often show attractive women in military gear. It looks kinda cool, and it’s thrilling when human beings transcend nature. But we are never shown photos of women whose facial combat scars are so serious they will never attract a man again or of women trying to relieve themselves in the desert or of lonely babies in military daycare stalls. As time progresses, this story will be covered in much the same way as “gay marriage” was covered. In other words, it will be a question of what is popular, what people want, not of justice. The fact that some children will experience the horror of having their mothers sent to war and killed, an experience which is fundamentally different from having a father killed, or the fact that women are demonstrably less able to withstand the challenges of military combat or that men demonstrably feel uncomfortable fighting alongside women won’t matter.
What is going on here? Why doesn’t common sense matter?
This is not simply a matter of feminism run amok. Surveys of military women have shown repeatedly that most women in the military don’t want combat roles opened to women. Why don’t we encounter the stories of these women in the media? There is something more sinister at work here than extreme liberalism. No matter how much the foolishness of this move is proven, no matter how much evidence emerges that this will not improve military effectiveness, the program for military women is pushed through. Once again, I can’t help but see a shadow government at work and view this as part of a sinister program to create social chaos and confusion so that a determined minority can seize power. (more…)

Am I missing something or have the Amish people not joined in all the hoopla surrounding Donald Trump? Could that be because they know better?
Pardon my skepticism, but I suggest that all of that hoopla is merely the latest sideshow produced by the well-known stock company Bread and Circuses, Unlimited.
The moral and cultural rot in American society today did not originate in Washington. It is the other way around: The kind of government and public policies Americans get are consequences of certain bad ideas, which in turn are deeply ingrained in American culture today—in all the decadent forms and trends we see in daily life. Government and public policies are the last expression of that moral rot.
I have seen all of this hope and expectation before. (more…)
AND, the Lord said to me: A conspiracy is found among the men of Juda, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They are returned to the former iniquities of their fathers, who refused to hear my words: so these likewise have gone after strange gods, to serve them: the house of Israel, and the house of Juda have made void my covenant, which I made with their fathers. -- Jeremiah, 11:9, 10

A London police woman, while visiting New York, was arrested and her child taken by Family Services for leaving the baby alone for a half hour in her hotel room as she sterilized the baby’s bottles. Family Services turned the child over to a homosexual activist for foster care. That person’s nick name is “Queen Hag.”
Interesting how decisions that used to fall within the exclusive judgement of parents are now considered child abuse and grounds for government action and how government is now indifferent to things that were considered immoral and disapproved by almost everyone not so long ago. (more…)
The more open debate about Sandy Hook is repressed, the more the whole thing stinks. James Tracy's book about Sandy Hook was banned by Amazon. Now he has been fired from his academic job.
THE ARGENTINE BOMBER has a new video. It's about "inter-religious dialogue," a deceptive Vatican II phrase that boils down to practical atheism. "We are all children of God," Bergoglio says, above the emotional soundtrack. Exactly, we are all children of God. But interfaith dialogue, in the modernist sense, which means different religions actually praying together and refusing to resolve their real differences, makes a deceiver out of God. If all religions are true then no religions are true or God is a liar. For Bergoglio, no religions are true, especially the Catholic Faith, which has always had the integrity to make explicit the exclusiveness that is implicit in all faiths. Read more here by Fr. Anthony Cekada, who calls this a "sleek, feel-good video for apostasy lite."

Isn’t Trump a big, confusing guy? There are days when I like what he says, but then I keep retracting my “yes” vote. I keep thinking if George Washington, or Jack Kennedy, or even Jimmy Carter, would talk like him. And the answer is, of course, no.
America does need a strong leader. But, a crass leader makes the people crass, and civilization depends on civilized people. The rest of the world watches, and as America is led by un-civilized, saber-rattling leaders, it will also set its premises likewise.

SEVERAL HUNDRED African or Middle Eastern men formed a mob on New Year’s Eve in Cologne, Germany and attacked at least 90 women near the central train station. One woman was reportedly raped and others were groped, pushed and robbed. Angela Merkel says the men must be found:
“Everything must be done to investigate as completely and quickly as possible those who are guilty and to punish them regardless of how they look, where they come from or what their background is,” she said.
And when will Ms. Merkel be punished? The traitors who engineered the inundation of Germany are far, far more dangerous than these lawless mobs.
By the way, here is an interesting comment from a New York Times reader:
To all of those that blame “medieval” gender attitudes of N. African, Middle Eastern, etc. men, here’s a thought for you: Is the GOP any better when they want to take away women’s right to choose, thinks that there’s such a thing as “legitimate rape,” cut funding for women’s reproductive health initiatives, etc. ?
Treating women as “property” is already alive and well in the US.
There are real women who actually think this way. (more…)
