The ongoing conflict in Syria has always been a proxy conflict aimed at Iran, as well as nearby Russia, and more distant China. As far back as 2007, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh warned in his 9-page New Yorker report “The Redirection Is the Administration’s new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism?” that a region-wide sectarian war was being engineered by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel – all of whom were working in concert even in 2007, to build the foundation of a sectarian militant army.
As we approach Good Friday and contemplate the suffering and death that Jesus went through for our sakes, John W. Whitehead reminds us of an aspect that often gets forgotten: Jesus died in a police state. Speaking theologically, of course, Jesus' death was foreknown by God, and thus (I would argue) factored into God's Plan for the redemption of humanity; but speaking historically, that death took place within a specific set of historical circumstances: Jesus died, victim of an authoritarian, militaristic, imperial machine, and a corrupt religious elite.

Recently, in preparation for my last podcast, I was looking into the permeation of occultism and paganism both inside and outside of the church. During my search, I happened upon a very recent article that I found to be particularly chilling. The article was printed in The Guardian, and the title of the piece was "Season of the witch: why young women are flocking to the ancient craft."
I don't speak Russian, so I cannot comment on the accuracy of the translation; but, assuming it's right, here is Vladimir Putin in 2012 talking about the possibility that "those working from abroad" might attempt to perpetrate a flase-flag assassination inside Russia and then blame the Russian Government.
The Neoconservative Threat to International Relations
This week I was invited to address an important conference of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Scholars from Russia and from around the world, Russian government officials, and the Russian people seek an answer as to why Washington destroyed during the past year the friendly relations between America and Russia that President Reagan and President Gorbachev succeeded in establishing.
A former editor of the major German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Dr. Udo Ulfkotte, says in an interview for RT that he put his name to stories given to him by the CIA, and that this kind of corruption is widespread in western journalism.
"We want to be able to understand this technology before big corporates and big government come to us and say everyone should get chipped - the tax authority chip, the Google or Facebook chip."
"Many people are aware of WTC leaseholder Larry Silverstein's controversial "pull it" quote from the 2002 PBS documentary "America Rebuilds". But in the following excerpt from an interview with mechanical engineer Tony Szamboti, Tony recalls how, during a 2004 episode of "History's Business" which was aired on the History Channel, he actually heard Larry Silverstein say:
Julian Charles, "George Carlin on "religion"—my response to Antony's email"
In one of the first few emails Antony Rotunno sent to me, he asked me to respond to George Carlin's famous comedy routine on "religion". As this email exchange came up in our conversation on "Truth Comedy", I thought I would post my response for people to see.
OK, I know it's not the good old English (or Scottish, for that matter) fried breakfast that's in view here (more's the pity!), but when I read this article by Chris Kresser I couldn't help but think of that wonderfully funny scene - (funny because, of course, there's a truth to it) - from Woody Allen's film Sleeper. One of my theological heroes, Rev. Dr. Francis Schaeffer, always said that he thought Woody Allen was a great philosopher... looks like he might have been right...
Why are oil prices really dropping? And why is Obama making matters worse? Surely, as is widely suspected, it's all essentially about Russia. Worth reading, Mike Whitney reports on Obama's own words and nods in the direction of John Kerry's visit to the Saudis...
"Almost all wars begin with false flag operations. The coming conflicts in North Korea and Russia are no exception. Mass public hysteria is being manufactured to justify aggression against Moscow and Pyongyang, in retaliation for acts attributed to the North Korean and Russian governments, but orchestrated and carried out by the CIA and the Pentagon."
While Halloween can often be a time associated with ghosts, devils and darkness, this video is designed to share the good news that Jesus is the Light of the World. 10ofthose has made this short film available for free, and encourages people to share it with friends via social media and to show it at church events.
After our recent Graeme MacQueen interview a listener kindly drew my attention to this interview from 2010 with Steven Hatfill, the bioweapons expert who was harrassed for years as a "person of interest" with respect to the Anthrax Attacks of 2001. Hatfill, who was exonerated in 2008 and granted millions in settlement by the US Justice Department, says he learned a couple of things:
In response to UK Prime Minister David Cameron's chilling remarks at the UN, in which he heavily implied that those who question events such as 9/11 and 7/7 should be classified as "non-violent extremists", UK citizen Nick Kollerstrom decided to take the "Hand Yourself In Challenge": he presented himself for arrest at London's Scotland Yard.
