By R. Cort Kirkwood Twitter not only was the FBI’s willing handmaiden in censorship, but also helped the U.S. Defense Department manage its propaganda and psychological warfare operations. Twitter did so, journalist Lee Fang explained in Part 8 of the Twitter Files, despite its long-standing claim that it stopped governments from using the platform to manipulate the public. Along with...
By R. Cort Kirkwood So Twitter wasn’t just a “subsidiary” of the FBI, as the Twitter Files Part 6 revealed. It was a handsomely paid subsidiary, which might explain why it acted so quickly to crush the Hunter Biden laptop story at the FBI’s behest. From Michael Shellenberger’s Twitter Files Part 7, we now know that the FBI pushed Twitter to suppress the laptop story when it almost...
By R. Cort Kirkwood The former high-level CNN producer who was accused of running a coast-to-coast child-rape scheme has pleaded guilty in federal court to sexually assaulting a nine-year-old-girl that he lured to Vermont. John Griffin, one-time right hand man to former CNN leftist big mouth Chris Cuomo, paid the girl’s mother more than $3,000 for sex with the child. The arrest was a major blow...
R. Cort Kirkwood The nation’s nuclear waste program will no longer be in the hands of a bald, mustachioed weirdo who wears dresses, heels, and lipstick to his job at the Energy Department. The Department has fired Sam Brinton, deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, because he has been charged twice with stealing luggage from airport carousels. The light...
By Wayne Allensworth If you live long enough and pay attention you learn some things. Every day could be your last. That abiding truth concentrates the mind. Every day should be thanksgiving. Thank God you were born. You can factor in all the pain, all the sorrow, all the disappointment, yet still find that it’s worth it. Living is better than not having lived. And the pain can be overcome...
By R. Cort Kirkwood A remarkable phenomenon on the neoconservative Respectable Right appears to be the periodic urge to attack the late conservative intellectual Sam Francis, dead now 17 years. Calling Francis a “racist” or “white nationalist” and smearing his admirers makes good copy for Big Journalism, meaning the communist Mainstream Media. The attack is a signal: One is on the “right side of...
Yesterday, Italy’s probable next Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, made the following statement: “We did not fight against and defeat communism in order to replace it with a new internationalist regime, but to permit independent nation states once again to defend the freedom, identity and sovereignty of their peoples.” I posted this quote on my Facebook page, where it won quick approval from...
By Tom Piatak In writing on religious topics for myriad conservative publications through the past 20 years, my approach has been that of C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity. I do not hide that I’m Catholic, but I think Benjamin Franklin’s advice on different circumstances applies to the plight we Christians face today: “If we don’t hang together, we will most assuredly hang separately.” As my...
by Tom Piatak Pope Francis said something important in his news conference on the flight back from Kazakhstan: “To defend oneself is not only a right, but it’s also an act of love for the homeland. If someone doesn’t defend something, they don’t love it.” Francis was talking about the Ukrainians’ defense of their country from the Russian invasion. He would not use the same language to describe...
By Darrell Dow In 2016, Donald Trump announced his candidacy in a meandering speech which is widely remembered for his comments about Mexican immigration. Immigration was, of course, central to Trump’s 2016 success. But the theme with which he closed the speech animated his campaign and gave Trump’s candidacy its central expression. “Sadly, the American dream is dead,” Trump...
