We are antifa  — short for  anti-fa scist . That is to say we - myself and my intellectual associates - oppose fascism.   Meaning, we are against it.   Nothing more nefarious than that.  Antifa isn't a secret society or a terrorist organization.  It doesn't have leaders, headquarters, or a hierarchy.  We are a collective ethos, an ideology, a radically humanitarian worldview.  Our mantra might be "live and let live." Or "power to the people." Don’t let the thought police get it twisted.  All they do is lie. They lie, school girls die. Not quite PRO LIFE, is it now? As someone who knows all too well how easily words can be misunderstood & misused, and at the worst possible moment... I’m here to help you help yourself. TO OPPOSE FASCISM IS TO BE AND THEREFORE ACT  AGAINST IT .  The prefix  “anti-”  placed before a root word means  opposed to .  Anti-war means against war .  Anti-racist means agains...

What the fuck is this? 1984? The United States government and their masked gaggle of goons are going to have to pry my First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech from my cold, dead hand before I’d ever preemptively surrender it. I’ve already been threatened, tortured, beaten, and silenced by Big Daddy. Back in the 80s. Ain't nothing new to me. And while this terrible thought might petrify everyone else, or those who've never been there before, it only serves to burn me deeper to my 8th grade core. Our Constitutionally-protected (the First Amendment for a reason) Freedom of Speech is not a privilege dispensed by the so-called powerful; it's a birthright recognized by the wise and the sane. It allows the informed to speak truth to the ignorant, the outcast to name their pain, and the dissenter to spark revolutions with barely a whisper . This is what makes America great. Punto. Make no mistake. The moment we start to give this (both Constitutional and human) right away — ou...

No one is more dangerous than a malignant narcissist . These folks are evil personified and consistently exhibit extreme personality traits that combine cruelty, deceit, and an unmitigated thirst for control regardless of the circumstances. When such an individual gains power —whether in politics, business, or on a personal level —the consequences can be devastating. Though rarely for them.  Unlike your run of the mill narcissist who may be self-centered and attention-seeking but still functions within societal norms, the malignant narcissist doesn't believe that rules or laws apply to them. Therefore, granting them any degree of authority invites certain despair and often, death.   Some, like notorious cult leaders Charles Manson and Jim Jones, become serial killers by proxy, where they persuade their followers to menace, threaten, even butcher and poison others on their behalf. They don't have to do the dirty work, being the lazy cowards they typically are. Instead, th...

Discerning Fact from Fiction in a Complex World. "without providing for a time of healing and discernment, there will be no hope of living through this present moment without a shattering of our common life" -Charles Spurgeon      In the era of information overload, discerning fact from fiction is more challenging and important than ever. The rise of social media, biased news sources, artificial intelligence, and deepfake technology has made it increasingly difficult to determine what is true and real.       Thankfully, despite the confusion, there are reliable ways to uncover the truth in any situation, but it requires a mindful approach . By trusting our gut-level intuition, employing critical thinking, seeking multiple credible sources, and understanding the motives behind information, we can navigate the complexities of the modern world with greater clarity and confidence. Consider the source, right? Always. And consult with other credible sources ...

When the masses are uncertain about truth, the very foundation of a society becomes unstable and ultimately, dangerous. Truth is the guiding force that allows people to make informed decisions, hold leaders accountable, and build a functioning society. Without it - confusion, manipulation, and chaos ensue. In such an environment misinformation spreads like a hurricane wildfire, leading to a rapid breakdown in trust, the rise of violent extremism, and the erosion of democracy itself. A nation that cannot distinguish fact from fiction risks falling into corruption, social unrest, and authoritarian rule. The end result of this convergences of forces is always death, as democracies (and their people) die in darkness. That darkness, being the dimming of objective truth.      One of the most immediate dangers of truth being obscured is the spread of misinformation  which allows powerful entities to manipulate the public via corporate and social media. Governments, corporat...

The interior of my home, curiously, looks like a museum to all things spiritual. Curious, as I belong to no religion and bow to no man. Don’t come knocking on my door with any pamphlets or bother trying to recruit me for your cult . Respectfully, I ain't the one. I go into full rigor mortis at the thought of such things.  But ever since the Spirit of Christ slipped into my Civic coupe that morning through a crack in the passenger side window, enveloped my entire being in his loving atmosphere, and as if by telepathy indicated that I needed to forgive all the selfish, sick souls who'd ever trespassed against me—that it was the only way I'd untwist myself from this burning kink of pain —I began, in earnest, collecting spiritual icons of various faiths in remembrance of my divine encounter. It was 2003 , and I was in my prime. I was also in the grip of a nasty addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex and crime.  Before that miraculous morning, I never believed Christ existed. His fol...
