OR, FOUR MEN IN A BATEAU (213 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Natasha Levinson, Ph. D. Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

In keeping with the so-called “Christchurch Call to Action” which flowed from a meeting of government officials and internet giants on May 15, 2019 in Paris, Facebook issued an internal document entitled “Hate Agent Policy Review,” which, according to Breitbart, which received a copy from a source inside Facebook, “outlines a series of ‘signals’ that Facebook uses to determine if someone ought to be categorized as a ‘hate agent’ and banned from the platform.”[1] The guidelines were simultaneously draconian and incoherent. You can be designated as a “hate agent” if “you praise the wrong individual, interview them, or appear at events alongside them.”[2] Hate agent status is evidently contagious because Facebook may designate you as a hate agent if you associate with a “Designated Hate Entity,” like the Englishman Tommy Robinson. You can also be designated a hate agent “merely for speaking neutrally about individuals and organizations that the social network considers hateful.” Facebook tagged someone in October of last year simply because he gave what they considered was a “neutral representation of John Kinsman,” who is a member of “Proud Boys,” a group which Facebook does not like and does not want you to like.

  • Project Unveritas
    Project UnVeritas by Miles Mathis First published August 31, 2021 Project Veritas and Infowars and the fake right are again blackwashing leftists today, with this absurd story of an Antifa highschool teacher in California. Before we get into it, let me just preface this by saying I am not in favor of anything the so-called left is doing right now. I am not in favor of anything the Democratic Party or the mainstream media is doing. I am fiercely against it all, as my regular readers know. HOWEVER, I can tell it is all another project, including PROJECT Veritas. Why do you think they call it a project? Because it is an Intel project. So is Antifa. I have been screaming for over a year that Antifa was just another transparent CIA front, composed of actors in black hoodies pretending to be leftists. Everything they have done has been staged out of Langley from the first word. As I have told you, this is what they want you to think revolutionaries look like. It keeps you from becoming a revolutionary, doesn't it? That is the whole point. I mean, just look at that guy! A dweeby little creep with fake tats, a Communist party shirt, and Elton John glasses? Is anybody buying this? This Gabriel Gipe (fake name warning) is supposed to be an advanced placement teacher of government in Sacramento. Yeah? Which highschool? Dimes to donuts he ain't there. That schoolroom looks like a Langley mock-up to me. We are told the black Veritas interviewer (he had to be black, of course, with a diamond earstud) was undercover, but why would Gipe be giving anyone a candid interview and tour of his classroom? If any of this were true, he should be in constant fear of getting fired for cause, even in Sacramento, but that appears never to have crossed his tiny mind.

Frequently, the videos posted in such atically progress towards more extreme content on the platform. channels focus on highly controversial topics such as race, gender, Yet, there is to date no substantial quantitative evidence of this and religion. The users who create and post such videos span a wide alleged pipeline. To close this gap, we conduct a large-scale audit of spectrum of political orientation, from prolific podcast hosts like user radicalization on YouTube. We analyze 330,925 videos posted Joe Rogan to outspoken advocates of white supremacy like Richard on 349 channels, which we broadly classified into four types: Media, Spencer.

  • Fake Riots Fake Division
    Fake Riots Fake Division by Miles Mathis First published June 14, 2020 Before we get started, the shooting in Atlanta was also faked. Just watch the video. Nuff said. Also, when we see Cass Sunstein pretending to warn us about the rise of fascism, we know we have crossed over into some parallel universe where black is white and white is black. I encourage you to read that article, and count every instance where he has flipped you. I think it is possible that no one has ever woven so many layers of lies together in one short article. Start by reading Sunstein's bio, then read my papers on Hitler. Then read his article. But the reason I am here today is that yesterday a reader sent me a link to Mike Adams at NaturalNews, who is now trying to surround my research and blackwash it, like many others. That article is about the George Floyd event being fake, but Adams ends the article with this: It's all a reminder that when it comes to the unfolding of history, everything you see is rigged, including every mass shooting, the 9/11 attacks, the Oklahoma City bombing (which was actually staged by the FBI), the government raids in Waco, the assassination of JFK and so on. Your entire human history has been engineered by “history’s architects” — globalists who plot and carry out all the major events of history in order to shape a public narrative that leads to your enslavement. Hmmm. Adams wasn't pushing that line until recently.
