McCarthyism is yet another thing that we have been lied to about. Look up the Venona Project. See work done by Paul Kengor, Herbert Romerstein & Eric Breindel, M. Stanton Evans, John Earl Haynes, Harvey Klehr. This is one of Liberalisms sacred cows that was actually slaughtered years ago, but NYT and other Mockingbirds, and the Academy, have kept her alive through their usual methods. (Hey, zombie sacred cows, how’s that for an icon of the Age of Bad Information?)

Gosh that was stunningly good and the first time I have been made aware of unreasonable behaviour in Indonesia. Same old same old over and over until the powerful achieve their goals. I still feel confident we can stop them. As for Trump and his beloved Warp Speed disaster, I keep biting my lip in the hope that he will come clean and get honest with us.

Hans Urs von Balthasar

Catholic theologian

“Love alone is credible; nothing else can be believed, and nothing else ought to be believed. This is the achievement, the ‘work’ of faith: to recognize this absolute prius, which nothing else can surpass; to believe that there is such a thing as love, absolute love, and that there is nothing higher or greater than it; to believe against all the evidence of experience (‘credere contra fidem‘ like ‘spere contra spem‘), against every ‘rational’ concept of God, which thinks of him in terms of impassibility or, at best, totally pure goodness, but not in terms of this inconceivable and senseless act of love”
