Laser would like to get your opinion on this which I've been going down the rabbit hole on. Basically I see it's obvious that Zionist interests have been running a psyop (The Scofield Bible etc) to coopt Christendom (especially American, Evangelical Christianity) to support Zionist policy, based on the manufactured theology that says God has two plans, one for Jews, one for Christians, which we know as dispensationalism.

But what I am starting to see is that this goes back longer than I had thought, and now I see it seems connected to the Reformation and the Glorious Revolution in England.

Some excerpts from that essay:

"Radical Puritans were the first to suggest the readmission of Jews, for they wanted to convert them to Christianity and felt that England was divinely chosen to carry out this task. In January 1649, Johanna Cartwright and her son Ebenezer petitioned Thomas Fairfax and the Council of the Army to reverse the expulsion edict and allow the Jews to settle and trade in England."

"the Ottoman Empire expanded in the second half of the 17th century, there was a belief among English theologians, like Nathaniel Homes, Isaac Newton, Increase Mather, William Sherman, Samuel Lee and Henry More that the Jews could help fight the Ottomans, and these theologians wanted to restore the Jews to Palestine. Nonconformists were heavy restorationists, seeing themselves as theological exiles like the Jews"

"Oliver Cromwell allowed Jews to return to England in 1656 because of his messianic Puritan beliefs"

So my concern is, how compromised is Christendom? I had been worried mainly about liberal Christians and Pentecostals, but is Protestantism writ large compromised? And if so, what is to be done?

Thanks for bringing attention to this interview Peter. I agree with your take that it's an iconic one and a watershed one for our times. I watched the full interview and thought Fuentes was hilarious but also that he spoke the truth while Morgan could only parrot the received narrative and try to hit Fuentes with low blows. The post war consensus is done. A new age is upon us. That's not necessarily "good" or "bad" but it most certainly "is" imo

Logical Chess Move by Move by Irving Chernev, Play Winning Chess by Yasser Seirawan, Silman's Complete Endgame Course by Jeremy Silman (first few chapters) , First Book of Morphy by Frisco Del Rosario are good books to get familiar with the basics, imo.

The point is that faith in Christ renews your mind and gives you a new outlook on life/ the meaning of life which is hopeful and breaks the doom loop of existential angst and resentment. This in turns strengthens your mind/ spirit such that you are able to overcome self harming behavior which previously you seccumbed to because you were cynical and self-hating.

I'm a bit fed up with the cope. Bitcoin's true USP is self custody outside of the regulated financial system and the ETFs were a wrong turn. We might just be decades early. I think Bitcoin is still the best simply because there is no better alternative. Gold is great until you get 6102d. But if the rest of the world doesn't get it then Bitcoin could underperform other financial assets for years. There's no guarantees around short to medium term price appreciation. Black swans like a hot war between the US and China could put back adoption decades. Or speed it up. But a paper wrapper around Bitcoin custodied in the tradition financial system. Really? It's been great for OGs enjoying their "Bitcoin IPO moment" and trading their corn for, what? Fiat? Probably they are buying property and other assets. Probably buying plan B and C houses in different jurisdictions if they're smart. But many of them are probably fed up with all the drama and are just happy to take the blue pill and live in comfort with a paid off house, car, dividend paying stocks, and some global travel. Can't blame them really. But all this cope from Bitcoiners is depressing. There's people on my timeline pretending they are looking forward to the return of the "58k gang". Really? The happy mask covering a crying face meme was made for these people. Well I hope Odell/Mallers, etc., are right and Bitcoin is still the apex asset and the true signal from the world's last free market. But nothing would surprise me at this point. The world is insane.

A booklet he wrote in 1543 per chance?

Chesscom for play. Lichess for study.

Nope. The world will be fallen unti Christ returns. Repent and believe in Christ.

Would recommend Chessbrah opening speedruns on YouTube. Watch along with the PGNs which you can find on lichess studies. Annotate as Aman says something instructive. He does a lot of good D4 openings.

(largely) quitting watching sportsball was one of the best decisions I ever made.

It was always an abomination that was against scripture. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Christ is Lord. Saying "multiculturalism has failed" does not imply that different "races" can't live side by side. There is neither Jew not Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, you are all one in Jesus Christ. The failure was allowing heathens to dominate Christians. The French Revolution has a lot to answer for. Our ruling class and especially our "intelligentsia" have a lot to answer for. The Scopes Trial and 20th century America has a lot to answer for. The UN and EU and other transnational satanic groups have much to answer for. The failure of Christendom to police our own ranks and to keep a lid on infiltration by leftist degenerates has a lot to answer for. It's time to get back to monoculturalism which is welcome to all races but hostile to those who deny the truth of the Gospel and would persecute the saints given the chance.

We need to get genuine, muscular Christianity back. We need to consign the social gospel Psy op "Christ was just a hippy who wanted democracy and social justice" to the dustbin of history. We need to re-engage with scripture and the body of historical theology within the church to remind ourselves of what is really asked as us as followers of Christ. We need to act like our souls and eternal life depends on it because they do. We need to call out the enemies of Christ without fear of being slurred and slandered. We will be persecuted for his name's sake. We will also enjoy eternity in paradise while our enemies burn in torment in hell fire.

I grew up going to Roman Catholic Church. I went through all the motions but understood none of the meaning. I’d constantly ask my mom why I had to do all of the “stuff” and confess my “sins” to some stranger in a confessional booth. It felt hollow and mechanical. I left that tradition the moment I turned 18, determined to forge my own path.

But life has a way of humbling us. I got married at 20, had my first son at 22, and despite my best intentions, I found myself repeating the exact patterns I’d grown up resenting. Generational brokenness is devastatingly real. Another son came two years later, and after 10 years of marriage, I was spiritually and emotionally bankrupt. I’d sit alone some nights, confronting the uncomfortable truth that I’d become a narcissist. Everything I did seemed to revolve around my own needs and ego.

During this season, my wife started attending a non denominational church (Baptist roots). I was working weekend graveyards, so she took our boys with her. Honestly, I figured they’d all be better off without me there anyways as I’d wake up and marinate watching football all day. But over several months, I watched something remarkable happen to my wife. She became more patient, more sacrificial, more joyful. The change was so profound it got my attention in a way nothing else could.

God was working on my heart, creating a curiosity I hadn’t ever had. My wife had been quietly collecting Christian books, and I found myself drawn to Lee Strobel’s “The Case for Christ.” I devoured it in two days, and couldn’t put it down. The historical evidence for Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection was overwhelming. By the end, I was convinced not just intellectually, but in my soul: I was a sinner desperately in need of rescue, and Jesus Christ was real.

That realization changed everything because I knew it had to. If what I’d read was true and the evidence said it was, then this wasn’t just interesting information. It was the most important truth in existence, with eternal consequences.

In the many years since, God has completely reoriented my life. Through reformed theology, particularly RC Sproul’s teaching, I discovered that the dead saints often speak more clearly to our current struggles than most contemporary voices. Reading the Puritans and reformers showed me that God’s sovereignty and grace aren’t abstract concepts, they’re the foundation of transformed living.

The truth is, I didn’t choose God. He chose me. While I was spiritually dead, consumed with myself, He pursued me with relentless love. That grace has transformed my marriage from the inside out, revolutionized how I father my sons, and given me a brotherhood within the body of Christ I never knew I needed.

Now everything I do flows from that love. Everything I do here on Nostr is through that love. Not perfectly, but purposefully. I’m the same man, but I’m not the same man.

If you’re reading this and something resonates, don’t wait. Pick up a book. Ask the hard questions. Examine your life honestly: Are you just happy, or do you have joy? Happiness depends on circumstances; joy transcends them. One is temporary satisfaction; the other is eternal security.

I promise you, investigating the claims of Christ will be the most important thing you ever do. Not because I say so, but because He is who He says He is. And that changes absolutely everything.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Inspiring testimony. May Christ be with you, brother.
