Carnival All The Time

Jonathan Pageau is a an icon carver, Orthodox Catholic, and expert on symbolism.

His ability to understand and translate the appearance of ancient symbols in modern times is unparalleled. He doesn’t approach the subject from “This is why we’re all going to Hell.” He explains how ancient people would have understood certain patterns and divides each pattern into its constituent good and bad elements.

These two episodes illuminate the meanings behind pop music and the Paris Olympic opening ceremony. One leads nicely into the other.

Sunday Listening

From fairies and the Fall of Man, to geopolitical and domestic intrigue, a gardening project gave me a lot of time to listen and learn.

EDIT: I forgot that I started listening to this fantastic conversation between Joe Rogan and Jimmy Dore!

The Narrative Shifts

I’m only halfway through this interview with former CDC Chief Dr. Robert Redfield, but there are so many bombs dropped, it’s hard to believe this isn’t a bigger story right now.

Watch for:

1. There was never any evidence for the wet market hypothesis, but there was early evidence for the lab leak hypothesis.

2. Fauci’s focus was protecting “Science.” Redfield uses the phrase “lack of transparency” as a euphemism for “lying.”

3. Fauci influenced the change in the definition of “gain of function research” to get around Obama’s ban on such research.

4. The definition of vaccine was changed to fit a narrative.

5. Redfield disagreed with vaccine mandates.

There’s more, but I wish this doctor had been more vocal during the Lockdowns. Normalizing the point of view many of us had in 2020 is small solace. Cuomo and Redfield exhibit a minimal level of bravery in discussing these ideas in 2024.

New Killer Mike Fan Here

I heard this guy was a trouble maker, so I thought I’d give him a listen. I really like his perspective and it’s the first time I’ve really enjoyed new hip-hop in a long while.

“Step back from that gangrenous edge.”

I spent a lot of time in my car today and listened to a couple interesting shows that led my son and I to an essay on not lying by Alexandr Solzhenitsyn.

I also sharpened my anti-war chops with Scott Horton:

“Stupid Anti-Science Stupidheads”

Tom Woods may have been the loudest and most consistent anti-Lockdown voice in American media.

In this debate-turned-presentation, Woods dismantles every false narrative born in 2020.

With mounds of data, charts, and logic, he eloquently and mercilessly defeats the proposition that government interventions had any positive effect during the Covid era.

Anti-War AF

If you have trouble with the ideas that war is bad and that we should stop funding it all over the world, you should spend some time with these resources.
