“How bizarre, how bizarre.”
Perusing the news this morning, this song kept coming to mind. Media gaslighting has undeniably reached unprecedented levels, and the proliferation of truly bizarre stories is more than enough to swamp the senses—which is exactly what it’s designed to do.
Everything from Joe Biden emerging from seclusion and apparently having grown to the towering height of roughly 6’ 6” tall (look it up), to the lying ma...
The plot thickens.
On the heels of attending the Republican National Convention, in light of the Deep State assassination attempt against Donald Trump, Joe Biden being forced out of the race by the party bosses, and cackling Kamala Harris’ unlikely rise to becoming the democrats’ next best hero, it feels prudent to lay out a macro level perspective.
Everything that has happened over the last 10 days has created a degree of chaos and ...
In the beginning…
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”John 1:1
To me, this is one of the most mysterious and powerful passages of the Bible, whether you read the Bible literally, figuratively, or not at all. Those who have been with me on this learning journey may recall I’ve referenced the passage before.
In TR 280 - The Perversion of Science (connecting the dots between science, language,...
It was a joke.
The title of yesterday’s report was: “How ‘Intel Officials’ are Teaming Up With the Kremlin to Steal the Election”. It was meant to be an eye-catching, entertaining spoof, something akin to what the infamous Babylon Bee has made such an art of, cranking out a veritable arsenal of satire with headlines like these:
* White House Denies Taxidermist Visited To Stuff And Preserve President
**note, my editor is unavailable at the moment, so you’re getting this one raw!
It’s a three ring circus.
In the center ring, Biden is still mumbling and bumbling as he shuffles in circles, squatting to s**t his pants, and pretending to be the leader of the free world. Today, the latest charade involves characters from NATO celebrating their 75th anniversary, with the sock-puppet screeching and slurring something about NATO support f...
It’s an exciting time to be alive.
On any given day, via the deluge of headline news and state funded propaganda, the American public is treated to an entire smorgasbord of gripping, thrilling, entertaining, and utterly disturbing stories. Examples abound:
* Russia attacks Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital
* Hamas Accuses Israel's Netanyahu of Trying to Hinder Ceasefire Talks

Brace yourself.
I’ve read many things this morning, ranging from the uprisings setting France on fire to dopamine addiction, from shrinking Social Security to Supreme Court diversity hires, how humanity is supposedly shifting the tilt of the earth, how conservatives are using the court system to remake America, how liberals plan to salvage Kamala Harri...
(Originally posted June 29, 2023 as TR 397 - The Climate Clock & China's Global Initiatives)
Things are crazy.
I started the week pointing out the merciless assault on commonsense, specifically calling BS on the whole Russian mutiny melodrama, which much of the mainstream continues to stream along, despite even more evidence coming in that western intelligence was behind the whole operation. The entire story stinks to high heaven.
Sim...
(Orginally posted June 28, 2023 as TR 396 - Putting the Puzzle Pieces into Place)
Do you remember playing the game as a kid, where you’d be looking for something like a present or a surprise, and someone would be calling out, “You’re getting warmer… no wait, you’re getting colder… no you’re getting warm, getting hot, you’re burning up!!” As the anticipation mounted, so did the excitement. It was a simple way to get a thrill and turn...
(Originally posted June 27, 2023 as TR 395 - WEF Says More Stick, Less Carrot)
It’s ironic really, that the global elites have openly declared that China is the role model for the world, and that they are currently gathered in China discussing the need to use “more stick” and less carrot in order to force the entire world into compliance with their radically unscientific environmental agenda.
Their title says it all: How to Stay With...
(Originally posted as TR 394 - The Merciless Assault on Commonsense June 26, 2023)
It’s Monday and the merciless assault on commonsense continues!
Over the weekend, there was an enormous amount of hype and scuttlebutt about a big Russian mutiny. Supposedly, the mercenary Wagoner Group had turned on Putin and was marching on Moscow. It was going to be the end of the regime. This was a game changer. This was major. Everybody look! But ...

Smile.
It’s good for you.
Like really good for you.
When you smile—even if you force it—you reap the rewards of releasing endorphins, happy hormones, alleviating stress, reducing blood pressure, strengthening the immune system, increasing endurance, reducing pain, and helping you live a longer and more enjoyable life. It’s simple. It’s free. It’s effective. A...

Guard your heart.
Spiritual wisdom speaks of the need to be vigilant in guarding our hearts, to always be alert and watchful of what’s going on inside of us, being aware of our thoughts, our emotions, and our deeply held beliefs. To quote the Book of Proverbs:
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
(Originally published as TR 372 - Overcoming the Impossible Odds, May 24, 2022)
Suck it up.
When I was in the army, sometimes things sucked. When things sucked, the phrase we used to power through was, “suck it up and drive on.” Just keep going. Not dead, don’t stop. Failure is not an option. Adapt and overcome. Do whatever it takes. Dig deep, find the inner strength, overcome the pain and adversity, and complete the mission. By embr...
(Originally published as TR 371 - FBI, CIA & DOJ Will Rig 2024 Election, May 23, 2022)
Will we take it?
News about a former national security adviser predicting that the Deep State will rig the 2024 election is starting to gain some traction, but only in certain circles.
To whatever extent this story gets dripped into the mainstream, I believe that it’s only intended to stir the pot and prop up the narrative about a hung election and...
(Originally posted as TR 370 - The Goal of Total Control, May 22, 2022)
Here’s what I think.
I believe the global elites are using the environmental agenda to consolidate political and economic power and control into a centralized global governing apparatus. As always, this effort is being pitched as purely altruistic, for the greater good, for the future, and for the pie-in-the-sky mission to “save the planet.” In reality, this agen...
All aboard!!
In the last 942 days, I have researched, written, and recorded 600 reports.
If you’ve been with me, you may recall my surprise learning that in my second year alone, I’d created more content than 95% of creators in the “News” category on Spotify:
The truth is, I’ve been running hard and fast for over two years now, not just researching, writing, and recording the podcasts, but also creating the weekly radio show, engagin...
Pay attention.
Those are strong words, aren’t they?
For me, those words take me back to childhood days, when the mind was adrift while some adult was trying to tell me something or another… you know the experience.
Pay attention.
Sometimes, as an adult, I find myself telling myself that. PAY ATTENTION. Keep your eye on the ball. Don’t let the distractions have their way with your mind—c’mon Luke, you know better than that—pay attentio...
You are exceptional.
That is both an accurate statement and an honest assessment. You are exceptionally curious, you are exceptionally open-minded, you are exceptionally rational, you are exceptionally critical of narratives, exceptionally skeptical of governments, exceptionally interested in truth, and exceptionally well-informed.
How do I know this?
I know this, because if you were not exceptional in all these ways, you would certa...
Let's set the record straight.
Any serious debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump would be an absolute blowout. There is no way, not a snowball’s chance in hell, that the Sock Puppet would stand a chance squaring off with The Don. Regardless, suggesting that this debate would in any way be detrimental to Donald Trump is political theater at its finest.
Which brings us to the headlines at Drudge Report this morning:
