#DatKanye, Or: How Christian Discernment Took a Holiday When a Renowned Rapper Claimed Regeneration

By Colby Malsbury

GREAT MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH:

70 AD – the destruction of the Temple and the ushering in of the final judgment upon Jewry.

451 – the Council of Chalcedon codifies Christian orthodoxy for one and all times.

1054 – the permanent schism between the Catholic West and the Orthodox East.

1517 – Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg church door.

2019 – Kanye West says that Christianity is ‘lit’, or something.

What, too soon? Well, I’m sure Ye will settle for being included as a footnote in this historiography. He is a humble sort, after all. read more

The Spirit of Vatican I: The Lesson to be Learned from the Arbitrary Authority of the Papacy

Martin Luther burns a papal bull, and perhaps future traditional Catholics burning the edicts of the Amazon Synod?

By Davis Carlton

The traditional Catholic world is abuzz over the Amazon Synod currently underway in Rome. The synod is a gathering of bishops selected by Pope Francis ostensibly to discuss issues related to the evangelization of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon region in South America. The reason for the uproar is the synod’s “working document” titled Instrumentum Laboris. The document was principally authored by former priest turned Marxist firebrand Leonardo Boff. The document is suffused with pantheist language that has routinely become incorporated into liberation theology. Accusations of apostasy in the mainline Roman Catholic Church are nothing new for radical traditionalist Catholics (commonly abbreviated as RadTrads or just Trads), but the anti-Christian (“Mother Earth”) language is so apparent in this synod document that even Catholic bishops such as Athanasius Schneider and Cardinals Raymond Burke and Walter Brandemuller have called the synod for what it truly is; apostasy. I doubt that this apostasy will come as a terrible shock to our readers. The apostasy of Rome is simply trailing mainline Protestantism at this point. read more

Occult Symbolism of the Feminist Pussyhat

Symbolism is Not Entirely Subjective

I’m no expert on the occult, so this post is simply intended to provoke thought.  Additionally, frank talk regarding the occult use of phallic and yonic symbolism is unavoidable for any worthwhile discussion of this subject matter.  I have sought to address this in the most modest and dignified manner possible, and have pixilated portions of one particularly salacious image.

It is commonly noted that modern urban Christians find the agricultural illustrations of Scripture to be foreign and obscure.  What is less commonly appreciated is that most Christians today live, eat, and breathe in an Enlightenment atmosphere, having received the materialist worldview they were taught in government schools as an unexamined first principle.  Thus, things like the necessity of blood atonement, the dedication of first fruits, the supernatural role in fecundity, etc., matters once understood on an implicit level, now seem strange and mystifying.  Such also is the case with rightly comprehending symbolism. read more

Blackface For Me, But Not For Thee

By Colby Malsbury

Oh, joy. That Crazy Cucked Communist Commissar of all the Canadas – better known to some as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – is up to his antics again. It’s election season in the senior dominion, and the first shot across the bow has proven to be the leakage of a series of musty photos and videos depicting Mr. Dress-up with melted charcoal slathered all over his face. The pics of him in an extraordinarily twee Aladdin getup that wouldn’t be at all out of place at one of the Rothschilds’ infamous Hellfire club masked balls were bad enough, but an even more incendiary vid surfaced of him in an even darker shade of ochre dressed as some kind of Rastafarian hobo and shuckin’ and jivin’ like a kid getting down to the Lancelot Link theme song back in the day. Not the most auspicious start for a pol who has staked his entire reputation as being someone who might be incompetent and high as a kite on something illicit, but who nonetheless really really cares. read more

‘Yesterday’: A Film Review

By C. Merle Davidson

WARNING: SPOILERS TO FOLLOW.

Last summer the Film “Yesterday,” was released to middling success. It was intended to be a bit of a nostalgia piece centered on the Beatles’ Music only with a twist.

The film opens with Jack Malik trying to make it in as a song-writer in the pop music genre. At the very outset it is important to note that Jack Malik is a combination of perhaps the most common male English name of all time combined with a Punjab surname that means “King.” Indeed, Jack’s people hail from the sub-continent of India though Jack and his parents are all thoroughly culturally Anglicized, complete with British accents and partaking of British customs. King Jack’s family (parents) are the very embodiment of British middle class culture. The filmmakers’ contempt for Jack’s parents throughout the film makes that clear. Jack’s parents, as being emblematic of middle class Brits, are never shown in the film as anything but doofuses. It seems to me that the filmmakers are communicating two things in the way that Mr. and Mrs. Malik are portrayed in the film: first that they are just like us, even though they are Punjab, and secondly, because they are such perfect reflections of the middle class English they are to be cast in a negative light.

Where Libertarianism Leads: Presbyterian Pastor Endorses Legalized Bestiality

By Davis Carlton

Few among us had the foresight to see this coming. I certainly didn’t imagine that I would be writing a response to an ostensibly orthodox Presbyterian pastor arguing for the legality of bestiality. Nevertheless, this is where things stand. We truly live in strange times. The comments that I am responding to are from a Twitter thread on the account of Rev. Chris Caughey, who is a Presbyterian pastor and hosts a podcast called Glory Cloud about the theology of Meredith Kline. Evidently Caughey is not a fan of patriarchy. He begins by alleging that “patriarchy is advocated not by men – not even by mice (what an insult to rodents!) – but by cockroaches who are utterly terrified when light is shined on the darkness of their teaching.” read more

Generation X: A Hollywood Coverup

By Ehud Would

“Family Reimagined” is the perfect subtitle for this documentary on Generation X. Because it’s a complete snowjob. An obvious rewriting of history. Obvious, at least, to those who lived through it.

But you won’t see the subject set right in the pages of the sanctioned history books. Nor will you see it redressed in the pages of National Review, or Imprimis. Fact is, even in the domain of citizen journalism and opinion, Gen X is conspicuously alack for representatives to set the record straight; and as it pertains to the identity and experience of X, the other generations able simply haven’t much interest in doing so. read more

The Gnosis of Jeffrey Epstein

By Colby Malsbury

Ding dong, Dracula’s dead.

Maybe.

On that note, I guess we should get this point of contention out of the way first: personally, I don’t think Jeffrey Epstein ever was in jail to begin with. If he had been, he would have been the only billionaire in the history of the world ever to find himself consigned to the general population of a prison before his trial could even get underway. Are we to believe he opted for a court-appointed attorney or something? Having said that, I am not dogmatic on this point, and if someone prefers to believe he was murdered by outside forces inside his cell, I will gladly continue to break bread with them. If you parrot the official line that he suicided himself, though, depart from my sight and never return. That level of naivete is painful. read more

Anti-Social Justice, Anti-Globalist, Pro-Western Civilization Homeschool Curriculum Now Available


By Jack Saxon

The Wait Is Over

Getting ready to start a new homeschool year? Already started? Either way, you need to read this.

In 2013, Tribal Theocrat published a two-part podcast interview with Bobbi Leigh Swagger, a veteran of the homeschool industry. Bobbi said, among other things, that homeschooling was infected with pietism, Statism, and multiculturalism; adding that there really was no curriculum out there that openly addressed these issues, coming down on the side of historic Christian and Western Civilization. read more

What is Treason?

By Davis Carlton

Steve Hays of Triablogue has posted a brief discussion on the concept of “race-traitors.” I find many of Hays’ writings on theological topics to be of interest, although I disagree with his rejection of Kinism. I thought I would offer my own thoughts in response to what he says in his brief post. Hays begins by noting, “The ‘race-traitor’ epithet is used both by (some) whites and blacks. Is that ever a legitimate category?”

To answer Hays’ rhetorical question: yes, race treason is a legitimate category. That the Bible condemns treason should be uncontroversial. Judas Iscariot is also identified as the traitor (Lk. 6:16), the Apostle Paul condemns traitors (2 Tim. 3:4), and Stephen accuses those who were about to stone him of being “betrayers and murderers” (Acts 7:52). Race is the broadest subcategory of mankind encompassing many people from similar ethnic backgrounds. The Bible uses many different designations that radiate outward from the basic social unit of the family. Several families comprise a clan, several clans comprise a tribe, and several tribes comprise a nation. Nations are hereditary and genealogical (1 Chr. 1-8, 9:1), and are typically named for a prominent patriarch. read more
