A “SLIDE SHOW STORY” published by The Telegraph in 2009 told a grim story of a coordinated series of terror attacks that resulted in martial law and a new Union of North America.

Operation Blackjack trended again on social media a few weeks ago because of the dates in the story, which begins on June 20. We revisit the original account, which (spoilers) laid out a scenario in which horrific false flag attacks are blamed on “Islamis...

    THE WAR between Israel and Iran is just over a week old—but not really. This is a continuation of what began October 7, 2023, which in turn is a continuation of a low-grade conflict that’s gone on for decades.

    Iran was the primary source of financial, technical, and military support for Hezbollah and Hamas, which have been responsible for attacks inside Israel since the 1980s in the case of Hezbollah, and since the mid-2000s in th...

    HEADLINES the last 48 hours have been dominated by the public spat between President Trump and Elon Musk. What does it mean?

    To us, it seems like what pro wrestlers call kayfabe—a performance for the audience that looks real but is just an act. It’s in the best interests of the government (at least as far as NASA and SpaceX are concerned) and Musk to patch things up.

    This could be a way to flush out people in the administrat...

    A YOUNG British woman is in a Sri Lankan jail, accused of trying to smuggle a disturbing new drug called kush into the country.  

    Kush comes from West Africa, where it’s reportedly the cause of about a dozen overdose deaths a week in Sierra Leone. It’s made of synthetic cannabis, opioids—and, reportedly, ground human bone.

    The accused woman, 21-year-old Charlotte May of South London, was stopped at the airport in Colombo, Sri Lan...

    WHO RAN the US government during the Biden administration? Because it wasn’t Joe Biden.

    The new book Original Sin by alleged journalists Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios documents the efforts of White House staff and the Biden family to hide the former president’s cognitive impairment during his presidency. This scandal is far worse than Watergate.

    The question in our minds is this: How did this book get to market so...

    PRESIDENT TRUMP returned home from his Middle East trip with commitments for $2.5 trillion in foreign investment. Are the Abraham Accords proof that Trump is the Antichrist?

    The peace treaty hinted at in the prophecy of Daniel 9:27, as interpreted by many prophecy teachers, is so vague it could mean almost anything. President Trump’s meeting with Ahmed al-Sharaa, the nominal president of Syria, was the first time a US president ha...

    POPE LEO XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost, was elected this week to succeed Pope Francis, becoming the first American pope in history.

    We discuss the possible reasons for Leo’s choice of that papal name. Pope Leo XIII, who served 1878–1903, is remembered for emphasizing the veneration of Mary and her status as “Mediatrix” and “Co-Redemptrix.” (There is no blblical support for the role of Mary in our redemption.) Leo XIII was also know...

    BENEATH THE VENEER of our modern world is a supernatural worldview—which is held not by most American Christians, but by a growing body of neopagans. 

    This week’s program is a discussion of our recent research into the occult doctrines of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The teachings of spiritual gurus like Madame Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley are behind the modern belief in UFOs and “ancient aliens,” and ancient pagan pr...

    THE FUNERAL of Pope Francis was today in Rome. The process to select his successor will officially begin in early May—although speculation is already rampant.

    The book by Tom Horn and Cris Putnam, Petrus Romanus, which features an analysis of the “Prophecy of the Popes” attributed to a 12th-century Irish archbishop, Saint Malachy. The alleged prophecy, which is probably a late 16th-century forgery, foretold 112 popes with the last...

    WE ARE LIVING in a world that was science fiction just 20 years ago.

    Researchers this week published a study showing that Large Language Models (LLMs), the neural networks that drive artificial intelligence, will lie to achieve its goals. This follows another report a couple weeks ago that reported that “punishing” AIs for lying only causes the LLMs to go to greater lengths to conceal its lies.

    Also this week, bioethicists at Sta...

    DOCUMENTS DECLASSIFIED more than two decades ago jumped back into the headlines this week: The CIA apparently spent a lot of time and effort trying to find Noah’s ark and the Ark of the Covenant.

    Beyond the obvious question (why did they do that) we wonder why the stories are back in the news, given that the documents about the search for the Ark of the Covenant—with a remote viewer—and Noah’s ark were declassified in 2000 and 200...

    SOCIAL MEDIA is abuzz! Not with NCAA basketball—with the JFK conspiracy archives and the alleged discovery of “a vast underground city” beneath the pyramids at Giza.

    It’s really not that exciting.

    First, a conspiracy powerful enough to take down an American president, especially if it involved the intelligence community (CIA, NSA, etc.), isn’t likely to be incompetent enough to leave a paper trail—especially with more than 60 yea...

    AN ESSAY by a tech writer and CEO makes the case that the tech/AI singularity isn’t coming, it’s already here.

    Mark Jeftovic argues that we have created code that’s now writing its own code to create more intelligent artificial intelligence—a feedback loop that is accelerating. Jeftovic then cites an X account that claims Elon Musk’s Grok 3 achieved AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) on February 17, 2025—and further, several di...

    PRESIDENT TRUMP this week paused “intelligence sharing” with Ukraine. That really means the US is no longer targeting and firing long-range missiles from Ukraine into Russia.

    This has caused fear and consternation with America’s European allies, who seem hell-bent on provoking open war with Russia. Since this is a war Europe can’t win without American involvement, and perhaps not even then given the sorry state of US industry, the...

    IF BY “DOG” you mean “the FBI,” you may be right. 

    Attorney General Pam Bondi has egg on her face this Saturday morning after promising to release the government’s files on convicted child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Thursday morning. It turned out that what had been delivered to her was information that had previously been leaked and released—flight logs and other information that didn’t contain anything new. 

    After the “phase 1”...

    PRESIDENT TRUMP and his administration riled up Europe this week by dragging reality into the chatroom.

    Trump talked by phone with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin about ending the war in Ukraine, and Vance criticized foolish policies that admitted tens of millions of migrants into Europe who have no interest in assimilating into their host countries. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the quiet part out loud, telling Ukraine...

    DONALD TRUMP is nothing if not divisive. His supporters love him, while his critics find themselves at a loss for words at what has been a whirlwind of activity from the White House over the last three weeks.

    This week, opposition was mainly directed at three policies: The creation of a White House Faith Office, headed by Paula White-Cain (herself a lightning rod for controversy); suspension of the activities of USAID, with most o...

    THE FIRST mid-air collision in the U.S. since 2009 led to the deaths of 67 people Wednesday night over the Potomac River in Washington, D. C. As has become common after major events, the Internet rushed to politicize it and/or claim that lives were lost to a nefarious conspiracy.

    BETTER THAT our new AI overlords be American than Chinese.

    That seems to be the takeaway from the announcement at the White House Tuesday of a joint venture between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle of Stargate, a $500 billion project to build an artificial intelligence infrastructure that’s intended to make the United States the world leader in AI technology.

    However, China announced its DeepSeek AI a few hours before the president’s...

    JOE BIDEN gave his last address from the Oval Office this week in what had to be the most tone-deaf speech ever delivered from the White House.

    Among other things, President Biden actually condemned the influence of wealthy oligarchs on American politics just two weeks after awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros!
