A couple weeks ago, I did a podcast on the so-called “Great Reset,” which I admitted to having learned about from Archbishop Vigano in his October 30 letter to President Trump. As I predicted, some folks gave me a hard time for not knowing about it sooner; but with so many global conspiracies to worry about (you…

Today the official Report of the Holy See regarding the McCarrick case has been made public. Before I express myself on its merit, I will take time to analyze its content. However, I cannot fail to note the surreal operation of mystification regarding who are the ones responsible for covering up the scandals of the…
