A GWU Graduate in Caracas


It cannot be proved that Juan Guaido is an agent of the United States, or rather I would say that one would be hard pressed to conclusively prove such an accusation. However I find it more than coincidental that once again the political opposition is led by someone with connections to the US Establishment.

The Stone-Wikileaks Syllogism


The media is desperate to perpetuate the conspiracy of Russian collusion and the latest twist involves the indictment of Roger Stone. This was hardly unexpected and has been anticipated for some time even by Stone himself.
Once again the now two year investigation struggles to find a smoking gun and the media continues to do all it can to keep the public engaged and stoke anger. Now in light of the Stone indictment we're informed once more that 'this is it', the evidence we've been waiting for.

Apartheid Mercenaries: The West and Africa


Was Dag Hammarskjöld assassinated in 1961? His DC-6 went down over Northern Rhodesia under suspicious circumstances and his death proved convenient to some who opposed his mission.
It's been a longstanding question and yet to some there's little question at all. There's a long history of South African, Rhodesian, Francophone and Portuguese African mercenary figures directly or loosely connected to the military and intelligence agencies of their respected 'fatherlands', whether Belgium, France, Portugal, the UK or the United States.

Trump +730: Who's in Charge?


Politics always has its twists and turns but between Brexit and Donald Trump one never knows what is coming next. What a tumultuous time.
On 20 January 2019, Trump will have been in office for exactly two years or 730 days. It's a good moment to take a moment and reflect on many points but something has really been glaring to me as of late.
As far as Trump is concerned it is legitimate to ask 'who is in charge' as there have been definite occasions in which his rhetoric and orders seem to be countermanded.

Further Controversy Regarding Opus Dei


This story is hardly earth-shattering or surprising but it's still worthy of consideration.
One, it adds to the growing file of controversy and corruption that surrounds the mysterious semi-cultic organisation of Opus Dei. Unfortunately there's a lot of false information out there, due in part to Dan Brown's specious novel The DaVinci Code.

As a Dog Returns to His Vomit


The Gospel Coalition doesn't disappoint, it continues to put out a stream of Dominionist filth, glorying in what should be a mark of shame.
In the name of the so-called Cultural Mandate the organisation celebrates the Christian defection of Frank Reich. This man, famous in the NFL for one of the biggest comeback games in history... incidentally it was the last NFL game I ever watched. I had turned it off at halftime and only later discovered what had happened. Not too long after I became a Christian and my interest in the NFL (and many other things) all but evaporated. I had wasted too much of my life on such things which I immediately realised were worthless and a waste of time.

Accountability at the Vatican Bank


Some will celebrate this news. It's a watershed moment in the history of the IOR (Vatican Bank). Many will herald this conviction as a historical moment in which the Vatican Bank 'turned the page' and left behind its decades long history of corruption.

An Oft Repeated and Heretical Lie


I was reading the latest issue of the Evangelical Times and as usual I have come to expect a bit of mixed bag. I read it for the information knowing full well that I will often disagree with much of the analysis and many of the assumptions.
