On Friday, Fox News invited renowned religious scholar and prolific author Reza Aslan onto the air, ostensibly to discuss his latest book on Christianity, ‘Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth.’

But instead, host Lauren Green launched into an Islamophobic attack on Aslan’s credentials and expressed incredulity that he, a self-professed Muslim, would be able to write about Christianity in a fair and honest way.   Continue reading “Fox News Anchor Dumbfounded That A Scholar, Who Is Muslim, Had The Audacity To Write A Book About Jesus”

A Texas couple out for a nice afternoon with their horses ended up living through what must have seemed like the plot of a horror movie.  They were attacked by a swarm of bees and were stung more than 250 times between them. The miniature horses they were with were stung so many times they died.

Kirsten Beauregard of Pantego Texas was exercising her horses when a ‘dark cloud’ engulfed her and the animal. She jumped into a pool to escape the onslaught and the horse followed. She said:   Continue reading “Killer Bees in Texas? People Attacked and Livestock Killed by Vicious Swarm”

Gun Watch – by Dean Weingarten

About as many people turned up to buy firearms as turned up to turn them in.

A total of 77 guns were turned in, with many of them being BB guns.

About 50 people turned up to buy any guns that were worth more than the gift cards offered by the turn in organizers.    It is very common for people turning in guns to bring two or more guns to be turned in.   Continue reading “WI: Racine Gun Turn in (buy back) a Bust”

[Another chapter of humanity’s unsavory hidden history. If it’s truly revelatory and reflects poorly on the controllers du jour (especially the tentacles of the British oligarchy and their minions), it will be expunged from the history books, similar to the fact that the slave trade and piracy were acts by and large carried out by exploitive Khazarian Talmudic Jews and the business-bankster bandits of their day. Most likely this would be hooted down as sensationalist reverse racism, demeaning the plight of the African slaves.   Continue reading “Hidden History: The Irish Slave Trade”

I’ve been trying to become a history student on my own for the last few years. Nothing outrageous, just reading good books as I find them on the cheap. I have had my tree shaken in the last year by two books in particular. One is a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the other is a fairly old textbook documenting the events of the American Revolution.     Continue reading “Noble Voices From the Grave Respond To Tyranny”

They can no longer operate in the shadows, recently in full view. The best information coming to my desk indicates that three major Western banks are under constant threat of failure overnight, every night, forcing extraordinary measures to avoid failure. They are Deutshe Bank in Germany, Barclays in London, and Citibank in New York.   Continue reading “Signals for Breakdown on Numerous Fault Lines”

What in the world is Pepsi’s new slogan, “Live, For Now”, all about? If it’s not bad enough that their latest ‘marketing’ is quite Satanic, now we have this ‘illuminati’ company seemingly warning us that we better ‘live, for now’, because we never know what tomorrow holds, especially for those of us who’ve been drinking this carcinogen laden, syrupy death drink for years. Does Pepsi know something that we don’t know? Bizarrely enough, Pepsi’s latest ad campaign also hides their logo, in a sea of red and blue blood vessels. Why?   Continue reading “Pepsi’s Evil New Slogan: Live, For Now”
