A priest who is in court in Malta over an alleged sexual relationship with a teenage girl has been suspended from saying mass and administering sacraments. The punishment comes as the priest’s lawyers claim that the 40-year-old was being blackmailed by the teenager, who was not allowing him to end the consensual relationship.

The Times of Malta is reporting that the relationship lasted around two-and-a-half years. This priest’s lawyers told the court that the girl instructed the […]
“The Marxian program of drastic controls, so repugnant to the free Western mind, was no obstacle to the acceptance of Marxism by many Khazar Jews, for the Babylonian Talmud under which they lived had taught them to accept authoritarian dictation on everything from their immorality to the trade practices. Since the Talmud contained more that 12,000 controls, the regimentation of Marxism was acceptable, provided the Khazar politician, like the Talmudic rabbi, exercised the power of the dictatorship.” (81,000 words) Introduction There can be no such thing as “anti-Semitism” without “Semitism” or even “Semites.” If this seems strange to you, perhaps even […]

President Donald Trump exhibited his new serious tone toward the coronavirus crisis on Monday night, sharing a viral video of fringe doctors touting the controversial anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as “a cure for COVID.” The video, which also featured the doctors dismissing mask-wearing, was eventually taken down by Facebook for “sharing false information” about the virus, after racking up millions of views in a matter of hours. Several right-wing outlets and personalities, however, continued to promote the clip of the doctors’ press conference on Twitter, eventually reaching the president’s timeline. Besides retweeting the clip several times, Trump—who recently said his retweets tend […]
This 4-part series identifies those who induce us to hate-and describes how. As the “how” of hate mongering becomes transparent, its common source will become apparent. With transparency comes accountability. That’s when you can watch for hate to emerge yet again to shield those who hide behind the toxic charge of “anti-Semitism.” With the shared knowledge of how hate is evoked and sustained, those provoked to hate can say with confidence “Never Again” to those complicit in inducing this evil. Timing is Everything Hate can be personal or geopolitical. Those who induced us to war in the Middle East made it […]

Staying woke on what’s acceptable and what’s racist is an ongoing process of shifting standards, as a Rolling Stone writer proved with the latest addition to terms that have surprisingly been branded as bigotry: “pro-life.” Jamil Smith, a senior writer who covers “the intersection of politics and identity” for the magazine, opined on Twitter Wednesday that the term “pro-life” deserves to be banished along with other recently outlawed characters and words. A wave of racial sensitivity brought on by the Black Lives Matter protest movement has already brought down decades-old consumer products brands such as Uncle Ben’s rice, and forced the renaming […]
