Brawl In California

There was a brawl in Los Angeles involving Armenian and Hispanic parents vs trans activists and Antifa this week. The issue was that the Armenian and Hispanic parents do not want their children learning about transgenderism. The parents were denounced as “fascists”.

Antifa showed up for the brawl. We live in a sick country where far left radicals seem to believe they have the right to indoctrinate other people’s children with sexually explicit material. The bigger problem is the way the media is covering this issue.

Reports refer to the parents as being anti LGBT. The media makes no attempt to comprehend the position of the parents. This lack of empathy by the media and the Democratic Party demonizes ordinary people who simply want their children left alone.

One school teacher insulted the Armenians by diminishing the Armenian Genocide. These are the lunatics who are teaching in schools. What is happening is truly horrifying.

The trans activists have the support of the media and the Democratic Party. Conservatives accurately accuse them of grooming kids. What is happening to America is insane. Voices must be raised to speak to reverse this madness.

Former Greek Foreign Minister Passes

Former Greek Foreign Minister Theodore Pangalos passed away at eighty four years old. He served under Prime Minister Costas Simitis. Pangalos will be associated with bringing Greece back under Washington’s strict influence.

He will be associated with the turnover of Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan to the Turks and reversing Greece’s hitherto pro Serbian stance in the balkans. As Christians, we pray for the memories of those who repose.

The Turkish Elections

President Erdogan of Turkey appears to have been re-elected President. Technically, this is not good for Greece and Cyprus. Erdogan’s threats to invade the Greek islands remain a concern.

The rise of Islam and the downfall of the Kemalist establishment in Turkey put enormous strain on Turkish relations with America and Europe, but did not bring about a complete break. This is a tremendous disappointment as the west still refuses to see Turkey as an enemy. On the other hand, the restoration of Kemalist rule in Turkey would repair Turkish relations with the west. At least with Erdogan, tensions remain.

Kemal Kilikdaroglu is more dangerous than Erdogan. He opposed Erdogan from the right and from the left. From the right, he denounced Erdogan as soft for not ending the Greek “0ccupation” of the islands. From the left, because he is a secularist and this appeals not only to American and European leaders, but to many Turkish secularists. Technically, he would probably have been less of an authoritarian than Erdogan.

But then this is a lethal mix that is more threatening to Greece, Cyprus, and Armenia. The image of a westernized Turkey did the Christians enormous harm throughout the twentieth century. Kemal the mass murderer was pro western. Adnan Menderes and Bulent Ecevit were westernized and received support from the west.

In order to maintain Turkey as a western ally, the Greeks and the Armenians were repeatedly sacrificed. Erdogan should not make us forget the previous eras when Turkey was repeatedly praised as a democracy despite its history of genocide and external acts of aggression. There really was a no win situation here.

Even so, Kilicdaroglu was the greater threat over the long term. Erdogan will probably continue to be a threat, but there will be advantages in the fact that he is unstable and unlikely to fully repair the breach with the west and Russia. Throughout his long tenure, Erdogan nearly started wars with Israel, Russia, and the United States.

This at least gives us hope that a final breach with the west is possible. A Kemalist restoration would make Turkey invincible. It would have shown that Turkey had strayed for twenty years but came back again because westernization had been too entrenched. No, the defeat of Kemalism is a good thing and the elections may show over the long term that the Turkey the west supported for decades is not coming back.

On this basis, the Turkish election results are good news.

The Dodgers

June is going to be “pride month”. Baseball teams are going to have “pride” nights. The Los Angeles Dodgers are among them. The Dodgers invited a group of “trans” men who dress up like Roman Catholic nuns and mock Catholicism, and Eastern Christianity by extension.

When the Roman Catholic Church and its institutions protested, the Dodgers disinvited the trans “nuns”. There was no real apology from the Dodgers whose disrespect for the sacred was apparent by its public statement. After the LGBT activists complained, the cowards in the Dodgers organization re invited the lunatic group and even apologized for disinviting them.

This demonstrates two things. The trans activists have become powerful enough to exert their influence over professional sports and corporations. The second point is that the people who run sports franchises, corporations, and the media have no soul or consciences. The trans activists have taken control.

Orthodox Christians must stand in solidarity with the Roman Catholics. The cultural war we are in must not be lost. Orthodox Christians must join the fight.

The Turkish Elections

On the face of it, the Turkish elections were a no win situation for Greece and Turkey. The two top candidates are fanatical extremists. President Erdogan dreams of the revival of the Ottoman Empire and had threatened to invade the Greek islands.

His challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu is a fanatical remnant of the Kemalist regime. His Republican People’s Party was founded by mass murderer Mustafa Kemal and was also led by Bukent Ecevit who ordered the invasions of Cyprus in 1974. Kilicdaroglu has criticized Erdogan for not invading and seizing the Greek islands.

The western media has demonstrated its traditional anti Greek bias by failing to note how extreme Kilicdaroglu is. If this man wins the run of election, Turkey could revert back to the Kemalist era. This means the restoration of warm ties between Turkey and the west.

Even under Erdogan, the west failed to back Greece and Cyprus so the situation is uncertain. It appears Erdogan manly be the lesser of two evils at this point. A restoration of Kemalist rule is the equivalent of a Nazi return in Germany.

Time will tell what will happen but Greece must prepare for the worst no matter who wins the elections in Turkey. Greece has to reverse its stance on Ukraine and adopt a neutral stance. Greece must improve relations with Russia

Greece’s blindly pro western stance has not been beneficial. The Turkish threat subsided after Greeks provided Turkey with aid following a devastating earthquake. Greece for the short term may be better off with Erdogan. Over the long term, it is hard to say what could happen.

Democracy Takes A Hit

Tucker Carlson is departing from Fox News. The reasons are unclear but this is very bad for American democracy and for the opposition to the Biden administration. Tucker Carlson was a voice of reason in a news media dominated by the fringe left.

Tucker Carlson was one of the real anti war voices in America. He routinely pointed out the dangers of a war between the United States and Russia over Ukraine. He repeatedly attacked the neoconservatives such as John Bolton, Bill Kristol, and Max Boot.

Carlson pointed out that Vladimir Zelensky was not the hero the media made him out to be. Carlson on more than one occasion reported on the repression of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the regime in Kiev. Carlson is very good journalist.

It really is a tragedy that Tucker Carlson could lose his voice while the morons of “the View” can stay on air staying stupid things. Most recently an actress I have never heard of was on “the View” comparing Christians in America to the Taliban. Christians are compared to the Taliban because they oppose trans ideology being imposed on children.

The “View” and others in the media have taken a hawkish stance on Russia. Stupid people who have no idea what could happen if the war in Ukraine spirals out of control. One of the few responsible and intelligent voices in the media is now gone.

This is a serious blow to democracy and the opposition to Joe Biden’s sinister policies.

America Strikes Back

The aggressive trans movement has finally provoked a backlash from mainstream America. The beer company Anheuser-Busch displayed the picture of a notorious trans activist on their beers while the vice President of said company insulted long time customers. The welcome result has been the immediate cessation of beer sales by angry customers.

Enough is enough. Ordinary people are sick of the woke agenda, and the trans movement in particular. American outrage at this aggressive in your face activism is overdue. This should send a message to other corporations to stop promoting trans ideology.

One thing though. Anheuser-Busch is not the worst offender. Last August, National Review published an article highlighting Major League Baseball’s support for the trans cause. This hurts for me because I am a lifelong baseball fan.

According to National Review, at least twenty teams have provided funds to groups supporting “child gender transitions”. This is horrifying and appalling. MLB needs to be held accountable in the same way as Anheuser-Busch.

Trans activists are claiming as of late to be victims of genocide. This is yet more evidence that this is a movement of lunatics. The trans activists are angry that Republicans are passing laws protecting children.

For example, there are cases in schools where teachers have referred to students with names of the opposite sex and encouraged them to use restrooms of the opposite sex. This has been done without telling the parents of these students. The Republican laws are aimed at protecting the rights of parents from aggressive teachers that are actively grooming children for the trans cause.

For the lunatic left, this constitutes genocide. Never mind that the undermining of the family has been a policy of every dictatorship ranging from Hitler’s dictatorship to the Soviet Union. America has woken up and hopefully will not go back to sleep.

Canadian Fascism

Last December, the New Atlantis a conservative magazine wrote about the advances that the right to die has made in Canada. An interview was conducted with a doctor who supports euthanasia. The article can be found here www.the new Atlantis.com/publications/no-other -options.

The doctor interviewed enthusiastically embraces the “right” to die and called it “therapeutic”. The article alarmingly discusses how some people are choosing to terminate their lives because they are unemployed or having financial difficulties. The horrific predictions that conservatives made back in the 1990’s about euthanasia are being fulfilled.

Liberals in favor of euthanasia have said only people who were terminally sick would be permitted to voluntarily end their lives. From a Christian standpoint suicide is always a sin and immoral. The Church emphasizes faith and hope and life because man is created in the image of God. Man is neither an animal to be put down nor a machine to be unplugged.

Canada permits putting desperate and troubled people to death while imprisoning men like Rob Hoagland. Mr. Hoagland is the man that was imprisoned for opposing his fifteen year old daughter’s sex change surgery. These policies are barbaric.

Nazi Germany embraced the policies of euthanasia when it sought to murder the lives of people it considered unfit. These would include the mentally retarded and others considered “useless”. These people were gassed. The euthanasia program became the model for the use of gas in the death camps during the holocaust.

Assisted suicide is inevitably the fulfillment of social Darwinism, the survival of the fittest. Permitting the “suicides” of the weak and the vulnerable is nothing less than murder. This nothing less than the revival of fascism under the guise of liberal democracy.

America and Europe are going down similar paths. In January, Democrats in Minnesota promoted a radical bill promoting abortion throughout pregnancy. This would mean an abortion would be legal in that state for any reason at any time during a woman’s nine month pregnancy.

Social progressivism in this day and age is fascism.

Madonna, Biden, And The Trans Evil

This past week six people (three of them children) were murdered in a school shooting perpetrated by a “trans” woman. The school was an Evangelical Christian school. The murderer was a former student who reportedly harbored resentment at her Evangelical family’s opposition to transgenderism.

The murders were anti Christian. This has been ignored by the media which continues to espouse the deranged cause of trans psychopaths. Madonna has announced she will perform at a benefit concert for the trans community. Not for the families of the people who were murdered.

Madonna seeks to oppose a law in Tennessee that prohibits drag queens from performing in public places where children are present. Madonna has denounced laws in general that seek to keep LGBT sexual ideology away from children. Madonna recently did a photo shoot with Vanity Fair in which she blasphemously dressed as both Jesus Christ and the Mother of God.

Reasonable people recognize that parents have a right to raise children according to their values. The LGBT activists demonstrate that their entire cause is without reason, logic, or morality. They have demanded and received access to other people’s children in schools and public libraries. They recognize no limits which is demonstrated by their efforts to indoctrinate children.

School libraries include books on homosexuality and transgenderism. Public libraries host shows by drag queens with sexual overtones which are attended by children. The massacre in Nashville was for years preceded by an organized effort from the trans activists to indoctrinate children.

Dylan Mulvaney is a YouTube “performer” who “discovered” he is a woman. He was able to visit the White House and interview Joe Biden. He asked Biden about the legislation passed by Republicans across the country which prohibit transitioning (sex changes) for minors. Joe Biden referred to such legislation as “immoral”.

That says something about Biden and the Democratic Party. In the aftermath of the massacre, attention is given to lunatic trans activists rather than the victims. Madonna, Biden and others who refuse to stop the trans evil are morally complicit in child abuse.

It also indicates the rising threat to all Christians in America and the west.

Farewell To Patrick Buchanan

The great Patrick Buchanan retired from journalism this past January. Buchanan was a fine conservative who sought to save the Republican Party from the neoconservatives. He ran for President in 1992 and 1996.

Buchanan served in the Nixon and Reagan administrations. After the Cold War, he became an anti war conservative and his ideas were later shared by Donald Trump. Buchanan opposed the Gulf War in 1990 and denounced the neocons.

In 1992, the neocon establishment closed ranks behind the elder Bush and defeated Buchanan. At the Republican National Convention Buchanan gave a great speech referring to the religious and cultural war under way for the soul of America. Buchanan anticipated the problems America would have by intervening in other countries and the rise of the LGBT movement.

In 1996, Buchanan won the Republican primary in New Hampshire. The neocons succeeded in defeating him much as they would later work to bring down Donald Trump. In 2003, Buchanan became a founder of the American Conservative which opposed the Iraq War from the very beginning.

Buchanan proved to be correct on Iraq and the Middle East. Buchanan opposed the expansion of NATO. He was right when so many foreign policy “experts” were wrong. His voice will be missed but at least his ideas live on in Donald Trump’s candidacy for President.
