Fascism, by any other name, stinks just as badly.
A movement of global socialism, known as Glozism, has been designed around an ominous objective: dismantle Western capitalism, cripple its energy grids and export its industrial foundation. The shift relies on two primary mechanisms: the weaponisation of the climate crisis agenda and the facilitation of unrestricted, large-scale illegal migration into Western nations. It represents the spread of this corporate-state hybrid—a 'poor man's communism'—throughout Western political, economic and institutional elites. Backed by international bodies like the United Nations, this strategy systematically hollows out Western resilience while positioning China and the BRICS bloc to step into the power vacuum for ultimate global dominance. To achieve this, Glozism targets the foundational drivers of Western power. By forcing a rapid transition away from reliable hydrocarbon fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—Western economies face inflated costs and energy insecurity, transferring industrial production abroad. Unchecked migration strains domestic stability, public services and national cohesion under the guise of humanitarian relief. Through top-down frameworks like ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), and 'stakeholder capitalism', corporate governance is aligned with international policy rather than market demand or national interest. Critics label Glozism as a modern form of international technocracy, or Bolshevism, where wealth redistribution, resource management and social policy are dictated by non-elected global bureaucratic elites rather than sovereign governments. This is not a bottom-up movement. It's a fusion of the Western power elite—including dominant asset managers like BlackRock and Vanguard—with entrenched socialist ideologues and international bodies like the UN and the World Health Organization (WHO). Key figures within these organisations reinforce the strategy: UN Secretary-General António Guterres brings a legacy from the Portuguese Socialist Party, while WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus maintains deep historical ties to the Tigray People's Liberation Front, an organization with Marxist-Leninist roots. Furthermore, network pipelines like the World Economic Forum have cultivated and elevated young political figures—such as Emmanuel Macron in France and Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand—integrating them into internationalist governance models before they assumed national leadership. By leveraging climate rhetoric, social compliance mandates, and controlled migration, Glozism systematically bypasses domestic electorates. The ultimate trajectory is not social progress, but a calculated transfer of industrial capacity, economic strength, and geopolitical dominance away from the West.

A good analysis of JW's modus operandi.
Replying to @HwsEleutheroi
JW charge: "purposeful refusal to even PRETEND to do basic study" before attacking. Eighteen hours before this post, White claimed Ellis "refused to even acknowledge" his John 6:37 question; while her substantive answer had been sitting in his mentions for 6 hours 48 minutes, quote-tweeting his exact post. He asserted a checkable negative without doing the basic reading of his own thread, while lecturing two people about refusing to engage. As of last night he still hadn't corrected it, and now he's back to characterizing their conduct, "impudent, purposeful refusal," which is also motive-reading, the very arrogance he's decrying. JW charge: strawmen "daily." His own recent record: the 8/24 post mischaracterized the issue; the 8/25 Dinesh complaint did the thing it complained about; and calling Provisionism Pelagian-adjacent while Flowers's written statement affirms inherited corruption and explicitly rejects Pelagianism is the same move; attributing to opponents the position they deny rather than the one they state. That's the definition of a strawman, from the man complaining about them. JW charge: the argument is "absurd" and proves "lack of training in basic logic." Here's the honest both-directions part: the crude meme version of the argument, "your theology is named after a 500-year-old guy, checkmate," really is weak. Label age doesn't determine truth; that's a genetic fallacy, and White is entitled to say so. But notice two things. First, his post never actually makes that point; it's wall-to-wall verdict (absurd, childish, arrogant, face-plantingly bad, "Mr. Choice Meats," guilt-by-association with "Hayden the Mormon") with zero argumentative content. By his own stated standard, a post that delivers insults instead of the one-sentence logical objection is exactly the "emotional high" content he's condemning. Second, he mocks the name-age argument while quietly asserting "the biblical nature of Calvinism," the thing in dispute, and dodging the serious version of the antiquity question, which his side loses on their own historians' testimony. The distinctives (irresistible grace, unconditional individual election) are post-Augustinian developments; the pre-Augustinian church held free choice with foreknowledge-based election, conceded by Calvin himself (Institutes II.2.4), Schaff, Boettner, Bavinck, Peterson & Williams, McGrath, Pelikan, Kelly, and Chadwick. Even his own phrasing concedes it: "under its present name… half a millennium." The meme is dumb; the history behind it is not, and the history is the part he never touches. The narrow logical point he's gesturing at is defensible. Everything else in the post: the motive-reading, the strawman charge, the study-before-you-speak demand, the sneering-instead-of-arguing; is a list of things he has demonstrably done himself this same week, one of them still uncorrected on his timeline right now. I wish James White held himself to the standard he demands of everyone else. The accusations get tiring, but the fix has always been available to him: set the standard he wants others to follow.

Is she kidding? (Apparently not.) This guy appears to be as Australian as I am, both by birth and culture. Am I a non-Australian because my parents are Dutch?

Wow.
Today the European Parliament voted 418-218 to pass the strictest migration law in EU history. When the result was announced, MEPs started chanting. "Send them back." Inside the parliament chamber. On the floor. In 2026. Here's what the law actually does: — Deportation orders now apply across all EU member states. You can't evade removal by crossing a border. — Detention before deportation extended from 6 months to 30 months. Unlimited for security threats. — "Return hubs" in third countries. Migrants can be transferred outside the EU while awaiting deportation — including families with children. — Automatic deportation stays while appeals are pending? Gone. Courts decide case by case. — Entry bans double from 5 to 10 years. Lifetime bans for security risks. Currently only about 20% of people ordered deported from the EU actually leave. For years European leaders told voters that open borders and mass migration were non-negotiable — that wanting enforcement meant you were a fascist. 418 Members of the European Parliament just disagreed. Trump proved his immigration policies were popular enough to win elections. After a wave of right-wing electoral gains across the continent, Europe is following in his footsteps. And the Overton Window is getting kicked off its hinges.

Wow. I guess we shouldn't be surprised.
Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

Yes, Trump had a plan, and he's following it to the letter, for good or ill.

Even prior to the release of the Epstein files, I was coming to a similar conclusion to this guy. This is nothing theoretical about this conspiracy any more.
NEW: Father Chad Ripperger says he is convinced that a large percentage of the world elites are satanic pedoph*les, warns of the danger of power. "If the veil drops too much & people start rising up to take the power away, that's when it's gonna get ugly." "These people have their hands on the levers of power and they're going to use it to take us out if they think that their power's gonna be jeopardized." Video: @ShawnRyan762

Considering this is written by a non-Christian, it is pretty insightful. The Charismatic movement is full of people seeking "secret knowledge", special prayers or techniques that will cause God to do stuff. All part of the same Gnostic mindset.
Let's talk about the philosophia perennis, or Perennialism, or two ways to become a heretic. There's a pseudo-religious occult concept out there called the philosophia perennis, or, the Perennial Philosophy. It's roughly this idea that all the world's religions are true. More specifically, it's the idea that every religion, philosophy, science, etc., in the world all expresses a form of one ultimate truth, which is the philosophia perennis (or sometimes, the prisca theologia, which means the ancient or primordial theology). Put differently, it's the idea that there's this One True Religion, and all of the religions, philosophies, sciences, etc., are expressing that One True Religion in their own "exoteric" (outside appearances) way. Christianity, Islam, Hermeticism, Buddhism, Nietzscheanism, etc., etc., are all just ways of expressing a core kernel of timeless, universal truth about the One True God, though with different outward manifestations. One way I've phrased this in the past, in the film Beneath Sheep's Clothing, where now hundreds of thousands have heard me talk about it, is that there's one true religion like a big perfect diamond, and each world religion, philosophy, science, etc., is like a face on its surface. One truth, many faces. The goal of these belief systems is to get people to see (or possess) the whole diamond, not just to operate upon one or more of its faces. The occultism comes in by saying there's this "esoteric" (inside, hidden, or OCCULT (hidden)) religion that's actually being practiced within all the world's religions and philosophies, especially religions, and that the truly awake and aware (gnostics) can know the difference between the real true deep religion, the One True Religion of the One True God, as it comes through the exoteric form of a world religion and distinguish it. Thus, everyone, no matter what faith they are, who understands the occult is actually practicing the same One True Religion no matter which worldly faith or philosophy they subscribe to outwardly. This is not mere ecumenicism or trying to get along across faiths in a pluralistic world environment. This is pretty deep heresy against, well, every religion. It's also rank occultism and a form of gnostic poison. It's also extremely seductive and tricky because it clothes esoteric occultism, heresy, and evil directly in the clothing of the world religions as they are, thus making it very hard to prevent the faithful from falling off the Narrow Way and into evil and error. Discernment, in other words, is both necessary and difficult, and it is made even more difficult because the Perennial Philosophy sells itself as being the true discernment: identifying the One True Religion from within its external superficial (exoteric) forms and expressions. Demonic stuff. Once someone believes that all the religions are effectively manifestations of the One True Religion (with an esoteric or occultist belief in the One True God behind it), there are roughly two paths (with variations) one can take to practice this occultism. That is, there are two paths to becoming a heretic along the Perennial Philosophy road. One path: syncretism, or syncretic ecumenicism -- that is, accepting that all faiths are manifestations of the One Truth, so you can pick and choose from amongst their wisdom and practices to cobble together a new holistic universalist faith. This is the UN, hippie, Deepak Chopra, Teilhard de Chardin, Helena Blavatsky, theosophical model. We could call it the Huxley model after both Julian and Aldous Huxley, who were fans of this approach and who wove it into the UN and UNESCO from its founding. The other path: Traditionalism, or Perennialism -- that is, boring as deeply as possible into any one religious tradition or faith (exoteric form) to arrive at the single universal Tradition it expresses (esoteric form) at its core, kind of like "traditionmaxxing" to use the contemporary slang. The idea here is that all the faiths are really outwardly the same faith, so the path to the One True Faith is to go maximum hard into one of them to hit is deepest (gnostic) secrets. This is the Aleksander Dugin, Rene Guenon, Steve Bannon, "Traditionalist" approach. It would be correct to call it the Guenon model, although most people don't know who that is, so maybe not. So: One path to heresy: "All religions are outward manifestations of the same religion, so we can pick and choose from the true bits of each to identify a comprehensive holistic faith." Other path to heresy: "All religions are outward manifestations of the same religion, so we can take one (usually the "deepest" one we can find) and bore to the very bottom of it to discover its hidden esoteric elements beneath the outward-facing exoteric shell." Both of these paths begin and end with the same heresy: All religions are outward manifestations of the same religion. Both of these paths proceed by the same gnostic entitlement: Only the truly deep and awake (Elect) can "discern" the One True Religion inside (esoteric) the outward manifestations (exoteric) of the world's faiths. If you get pulled into these lines of thinking, you have stepped onto the road to heresy, but because of the nature of all esotericism, you will probably not realize you have left the Narrow Way for evil for a long time, not until you're very deep in with a very difficult way back out. They are subtle and work upon two different kinds of psychology very effectively. The Huxley model (theosophical) works on psychological openness toward holism. The Guenon model (Traditionalism, with a capital-T) works on a psychological disposition toward connecting to the deepest hidden root through almost monastic impulse. Both express a kind of elitist psychology in different ways. Huxleyan (theosophical) elitism operates on being able to see the bits of truth in everything with the capacity to integrate them into a single whole (hole, really). Its elites (Elects) are like gurus who can guide people through many images of truth to find the Real Truth that's reflected everywhere. It appeals to Leftist thinkers. Guenonian (Traditionalist) elitism operates on being able to understand the full depths of a single tradition as being indicative of the One Truth that is ultimately a single whole (hole, really) and to use the single tradition as a path to lead people to "true" spiritual awakening (joining their cult). Its elites (Elects) are like mystics who can guide people deeper and deeper into the One True Religion through the vehicle of a single faith that ultimately emanates it. It appeals to Rightist thinkers. In both cases, these are CULTS. BEWARE! I'm sharing this with you as a warning and an invitation to be wary about those from whom you might learn your faith, including through political means. Esotericism is always foolishness and error presenting itself as wisdom, clarity, and depth. You must be absolutely grounded and based (or deeply skeptical of any claims about deep, hidden spirituality or truth that most can't see.) Your faith can be and will be used as a weapon to lead you into mystification, confusion, darkness, and evil, not to mention cults. You must constantly be on guard for this and be deeply skeptical of claims to deeper, hidden, and esoteric meanings to parts of your faith, its beliefs, its traditions, etc. You don't have to go very far down these roads to become unrecognizable, even to yourself (you won't be able to see who you have become, but you won't be who you were before either). The Globalist Left, especially the White Collar Esoteric Left, mostly subscribes to the Huxleyan model (theosophical). The UN, UNESCO, Planned Parenthood, SEL, Common Core, etc., and all in their thrall, are in this line. The Anti-Globalist Right, especially the Populist Reactionary Right, significantly subscribes to the Guenonian model (Traditionalist). Aleksandr Dugin is the most prominent exponent now, along with his Western satellites (Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, and "Auron MacIntyre" (nhrn) have all promoted Dugin and Duginism). Both of these approaches are broadly integralist in their ambition to integrate their heretical faith into the state apparatus and lead people to practice and "believe" it through the coercion of the state, even if that's outside of their knowledge.* I advise you to be extremely cautious with bold-sounding voices who invite you to remember the Ancient Religion (prisca theologia) or One Religion for "our people" (philosophia perennis). Stop and ask what that "religion" is and how it is supposed to be recognized, believed, practiced, and/or integrated into the state. Again, I give you this explanation to tell you to BEWARE. --- *Jews, when they are truly faithful, tend to be remarkably resistant to this kind of error because they believe there is just their God with the one Torah He has provided and that they have an unbreakable commitment to Him, for which they will die before they compromise. Many Bible-reading Evangelical Christians share this disposition with Jews and prove similarly hard to seduce into this darkness. This fact partially explains why Jews and Evangelicals are being so vigorously targeted by the world's monsters today and at other points in history as well.

Either our "uniparty" politicians are malevolent, or they are hopelessly naive. Either way, they should not be in office.
BREAKING: The government and opposition claims to have dumped controversial ‘Racial Vilification’ clauses, but have quietly changed the definition of a hate crime to include the same language! The new hate crime bill was only delivered to One Nation at 10am today. No one has been consulted on this inclusion and the incorporation of State offences. Changing a significant definition like this hasn’t been looked at by anyone in last week’s inquiry. The coalition and greens should be condemned for rushing through these laws in secret deals with the government.

Very well done. A reminder that regardless of the contents of the Epstein files, the problem is not a new one, nor is it limited to one man's activities.

Credit where credit is due. I didn't know Finney ever said this, though I'm not really surprised, either.
This has to be one of the easiest bets I’ve ever won. The 19th century revivalist Charles Grandison Finney (1792-1875) preached a whole sermon based on the claim that sinners not only can but must regenerate themselves, titled, “Sinners bound to change their own hearts,” in Sermons on Various Subjects, Volume 1, (New York: S.W. Benedict & Co., 1834). Finney made his thesis unmistakably clear: “The Spirit of God, by the truth, influences the sinner to change, and in this sense is the efficient cause of the change [i.e., initiates change]. But the sinner actually changes, and is therefore himself, in the proper sense, the author of the change. … Some months since a tract was written, the title of which was, ‘Regeneration is the effect of Divine Power.’ … The very title to this tract is a stumbling block. It tells the truth, but it does not tell the whole truth. And a tract might be written upon this proposition, that ‘conversion or regeneration is the work of man;’ which would be just as true, just as Scriptural, and just as philosophical, as the one to which I have alluded. Thus the writer, in his zeal to recognize and honor God as concerned in this work, by leaving out the fact that a change of heart is the sinner’s own act, has left the sinner strongly intrenched, with his weapons in his rebellious hands, stoutly resisting the claims of his Maker, and waiting passively for God to make him a new heart.” — Ibid., 15-16. Bold style added. (On Google Books: google.com/books/edition/Ser…; HTML format: gospeltruth.net/1836SOIS/01s….) In typical Pelagian fashion, Finney limits the work of the Holy Spirit, and hence the definition of the saving “grace” bestowed by Him, to a mere persuasive influence. This leaves sinners to regenerate themselves, as Finney himself states unambiguously. Shawn (@RevReads289) was responding to my previous post which quotes Charles Hodge (1797-1878) as saying that “No more soul-destroying doctrine could well be devised than the doctrine that sinners can regenerate themselves, and repent and believe just when they please” (Systematic Theology, 2:277). As a Reformed contemporary of the Pelagian Finney, Hodge no doubt that Finney particularly in mind when he wrote this, even though he neither mentions nor discusses him until the next volume in his Systematic Theology. Whether Finney was truly a Christian or not I will leave to the judgment of my readers, but most church historians and historians of theology include him as one. And he’s obviously not just any figure from church history but one with countless followers. Now, Shawn didn’t simply place a non-monetary wager, he also accused Hodge, and I would assume me by extension, of being “Another example of Calvinists lying about non-Calvinists.” His blanket accusation seems to establish a kind of knee-jerk bias on his part. In any case, seeing there are no winnings for me to collect, I’ll content myself with an apology.
