Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) Releases Whistleblower Report On First Assassination Attempt On Trump by Ethan Huff
A 21-page whistleblower report about the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Penn., arrived this week from the office of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). The main takeaway is that the U.S. Secret Service is to blame for "failing to prevent it."
Described by Sen. Hawley as "the most stunning breakdown in presidential security since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan," the first attempt on Trump's life this summer was a "catastrophic failure," he says, of not just Secret Service but also the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
"These agencies and their leaders have slow-walked congressional investigations, misled the American people, and shirked responsibility," Hawley's office wrote about how the report came into existence.
"In response, Senator Hawley personally visited the Butler, Pennsylvania rally site to interview whistleblowers, opened up a whistleblower tip line, and encouraged those with relevant information to tell their stories. Since then, many individuals have come forward with information regarding the events of July 13 – from the Secret Service, DHS, and local law enforcement, as well as private citizens."
Secret Service Guilty Of "Negligence, Sloppiness, And Gross Incompetence"
At the heart of why Trump was shot in his right ear while speaking to the crowd in Butler is the total failure of Secret Service to do its job. Hawley says Secret Service is guilty of "negligence, sloppiness, and gross incompetence" going back many years.
The following is a more detailed breakdown of what Hawley discovered during his probe:
1) Secret Service's Counter Surveillance Division, which is supposed to perform threat assessments at all event sites, failed to do so at Trump's Butler rally, nor was it even present at the site on July 13.
2) Secret Service personnel rejected multiple offers from local law enforcement partners to deploy drone technology, even after it was discovered that the would-be assassin used a drone to survey the rally site just hours before shooting at Trump.
3) Secret Service's Office of Protective Operations – Manpower specifically told agents deployed to protect Trump at the rally to not request additional security resources because any such requests were to be automatically declined.
4) For some unknown reason, law enforcement personnel decided to abandon the rooftop of the American Glass Research (AGR) Building 6, which allowed Thomas Crooks to perch himself there and aim at Trump.
5) The lead Secret Service agent whose specific job was to coordinate all security at the July 13 Trump rally and address all line-of-sight concerns is incompetent, which resulted in the placement of random items like flags around the Butler stage and catwalk, impairing visibility.
6) Supplemental personnel from DHS, including agents responsible for covering child exploitation cases, were ordered to fill in Secret Service shortages on July 13 even though the "training" they received lasted just two hours and was of "poor quality."
Members Of Congress, Media Corroborate Whistleblower Testimony
To be sure that these claims hold weight, Hawley ran his findings by a number of executive branch officials, as well as members of Congress and news outlets. Many of them confirmed or corroborated the claims made in Hawley's report.
Hawley believes that the findings highlight the need for immediate, quick, and aggressive oversight action by not only the president but also both houses of Congress.
"Executive branch agencies so far have not denied any of these allegations," Hawley says. "What is more, on July 30, Senator Hawley directly questioned Acting Director Rowe about whistleblower allegations in a hearing jointly held by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee."
Hawley discovered even more details beyond what was publicly reported, it turns out. One such detail is the fact that the lead Secret Service agent responsible for the entire Butler event failed a key examination during his or her federal law enforcement training.
"Secret Service intelligence units – teams of Secret Service agents paired with state and local law enforcement to handle reports of suspicious persons – were absent from the Butler rally," Hawley further notes.
"The hospital site where former President Trump received treatment after the shooting was poorly secured, and the hospital site agent could not answer basic questions about site security."
Secret Service, DHS Remaining Silent About Allegations
If the federal government has anything to say in its defense against these allegations, it is choosing not to do so. Thus far, neither DHS nor Secret Service have answered a single one of Hawley's many questions, which include:
1) Who, within either of these two federal agencies, made the decision to deny counter sniper coverage to the rooftop from which Crooks shot at Trump?
2) When will Secret Service or DHS publicly name the lead site agent for the rally and the lead agent for the Butler visit?
3) Did the Acting Secret Service director ever deny resources to the Trump campaign, or Secret Service counter sniper teams, as was reported by the media?
Hawley is taking the lead as far as demanding accountability on Trump's behalf. He wants former Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle to officially resign, and he also wants Acting Director Rowe to terminate everyone responsible for the security failures in Butler.
Hawley has spent a lot of time in recent days writing letters to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and others demanding a full investigation into Secret Service's failures to protect Trump.
Whistleblower Claims Pour In
Concerning the rest of the contents of Hawley's report, you will find a full timeline of events that day as well as a map of the Butler rally site. Hawley also included eight different whistleblower allegations and the dates they were made, including the following:
1) July 19: The Butler rally was treated as a "loose" security event.
2) July 22: Law enforcement abandoned the rooftop because it was too hot.
3) July 25: Secret Service declined drone coverage.
4) August 1: Secret Service's counter surveillance division was not present at Butler rally.
5) August 5: Butler rally site agent was known to be incompetent.
6) August 23: Secret Service headquarters denied Trump additional manpower resources.
7) September 3: DHS agents assigned to Butler rally received inadequate training.
As for the eighth "new" whistleblower allegations, Hawley reported the following three revelations in his report:
1) Lead Secret Service agent for entire Butler visit failed a key exam during federal law enforcement training.
2) Secret Service intelligence units, meaning teams of Secret Service agents paired with state and local law enforcement to handle reports of suspicious persons, were completely absent from Butler rally.
3) The hospital where Trump was sent for treatment was poorly secured.
"Two months have now elapsed since former President Donald J. Trump was nearly assassinated. And the American people still know far too little about why this happened," Hawley writes.
"The Secret Service, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security have not been forthcoming with the American people. Far from it: they have closed ranks, refused to confirm or deny whistleblower allegations, and resisted meaningful oversight. In fact, sources with direct knowledge of Secret Service's own internal investigation have alleged to Senator Hawley that the Department of Homeland Security is leaning on Secret Service not to comply with document requests from Congress."
If you are as committed to the cause as Hawley is, or if you are a whistleblower who knows more, Hawley wants you to email him at tips@hawley.senate.gov or call him at (202) 224-6154.
"Whistleblower identities will be protected against disclosure," Hawley says. "All communications are entitled to protection afforded by whistleblower laws."

The Brainwashing of a Nation by Daniel Greenfield
Brainwashing isn’t a secretive event that takes place in hidden rooms. No hypnotists or vials full of chemicals are required. It takes place every day on a massive scale across the United States.
Unlike Raymond Shaw in The Manchurian Candidate, brainwashing does not turn people into hypnotized zombies who would be ready to kill a presidential candidate at a command. Instead, it transforms them into the sort of people who would be willing to kill someone for political reasons.
The distinction is why so few people understand the sources of political radicalism and violence.
Brainwashing isn’t magic, but it can look like magic. The sleight of hand that causes us to think so is our firm belief in our reason and free will. It’s easier to believe in changing minds through hypnotism and drugs, than to understand, what the successful practitioners of brainwashing do, that the human mind is more malleable than we like to think, and that the subconscious is more powerful than the conscious.
The human mind, like the human body, adapts to a crisis with a fight-or-flight response. Brainwashing forces the mind into a flight response. Once in flight mode, the mind can rationalize a new belief as a protective behavior that will keep it safe. Even when, as in the case of the suspect, the new belief will actually destroy his life. Fight or flight mode inhibits long term thinking. In panic mode, destructive and suicidal behaviors seem like solutions because they offer an escape from unbearable chemical stresses.
There’s a good biological reason for that. Our minds stop us from thinking too much in a crisis so that we can take urgent action, like running into a fire or at a gunman, that our rational minds might not allow us to do. But that same function can be ‘hacked’ by artificially putting people into fight-or-flight mode to break them down and shortcut their higher reasoning functions. Decisions reached subconsciously in fight-or-flight mode will then be rationalized and internalized after the initial crisis has passed.
When that internalization happens, then the brainwashing is real.
Almost anyone can be compelled to say anything under enough stress. Many can be forced to believe it. The acid test of brainwashing is whether they will retain that belief once fight-or-flight mode passes.
Cults, abusive relationships and totalitarian movements maintain ‘total crisis’, shutting down higher reasoning, creating a permanent state of stress by triggering fight-or-flight responses unpredictably. This leads to Stockholm Syndrome, where the captive tries to control their fate through total emotional identification with their captor, pack behavior, loss of identity and will, and eventually suicide or death.
Total crisis leads to burnout, emotional exhaustion, detachment from friends and family, and violence.
How do you brainwash a nation?
Control the national environment, force a crisis on the country, and tap into their fear and guilt.
Since the Left still lacks total control over the United States, it relies on repetition, itself a form of control and stress, to create fear and panic. It makes up for its lack of physical control by bombarding Americans with messages meant to inspire fear, love, hate and guilt through the media, through the educational system, through entertainment and through every possible messaging channel.
The panic over Trump is a crisis of the sort that leftists detonate in the political opposition, but the fear, anger, terror, stress and violence on display are typical of the crisis mode of fight-or-flight.
The “Resistance” isn’t a political movement. It’s a political cult whose crisis was the opposition. Its irrational belief that Trump is a Russian agent is typical of the conspiratorial mindset of cults. Its inability to understand that its convictions are completely irrational show how brainwashing works.
The 2016 election inflicted on its members a loss of control. Trump became the crisis embodying their loss of control. Their fear, guilt and anger induced stress that altered their behavior and beliefs.
Like drug addiction, the aftermath of brainwashing transforms the mind into a convoluted maze of rationalizations for self-destructive behavior that are guarded by biology and the subconscious. It cannot be escaped without breaking down the defense mechanisms that were put into place to avoid re-experiencing the original trauma, and without examining the emotions behind the mechanisms.
Brainwashing can create new ideas and realities, but it can’t create new emotions. All it can do is amplify them and use them to induce in its subject a new belief in an altered reality. It doesn’t create guilt, shame, fear, love or hate. It amplifies, exploits them and uses them as tools to create stress, force a crisis, and then transform a single belief or an entire identity.
That is why the Left cannot be defeated through policy debates and intellectual abstractions. It is a belief system. Though it traffics in seeming abstractions, these are a language, but not the meaning. The esoteric languages of policy and pop culture in which it speaks are vehicles for a deeper language of primal emotions. Behind the theories and manifestos is a great darkness of fear and terror, of love and hate, of emotional instability and vulnerability on which its lies and propaganda are built.
And it is within that primal darkness out of which all evil is born that the brainwashing does its work.

Trump vs Harris: The Apocalypse Debate by Constantin Von Hoffmeister
In the September 10, 2024 presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Trump spoke with a chilling sense of urgency, portraying America as a once-vibrant body now beset by alien entities. He likened the Democrats to parasitic extraterrestrials, sucking the life from the nation, draining its vitality, and leaving only a hollow, shriveled carcass. Trump warned that under Harris, these bodysnatchers would grow stronger, feeding on the nation’s resources and people until all that remains is a husk, devoid of the might and original blood that once made America great.
Trump warns us of the insidious decay gnawing at the bones of the American nation. “Bad immigration is the worst thing that can happen to our economy,” he declared. He understands what many have long forgotten: that the deactivation of America’s borders is not merely a matter of economics but a symbolic death knell. An evil and ancient monster stirs beneath the surface, inviting anarchy, entropy, and ruin.
Immigration threatens the economic stability of the country and erases the ethnic and cultural cohesion that binds the nation. America, forged by the hands of its Anglo founding stock, once was a paragon of Western ideals, rooted in traditions that upheld the sanctity of borders, law, and civic unity. However, unchecked immigration, particularly from regions where the values and norms vastly differ from the Western tradition, disrupts this fragile balance. The influx of people from other backgrounds, without any expectation of assimilation, dilutes the common culture, creating pockets of foreign influence that undermine what is still the American White majority.
Moreover, Trump argues that this flow of immigration burdens the working-class natives, both White and Black. Wave after wave of cheap labor undercuts wages, making it harder for the native-born to find jobs that provide a living wage. What was once a thriving manufacturing sector — supported by strong, proud workers — is now scorched earth, replaced by underpaid migrant labor willing to accept much less. This imbalance drives down standards for the native workforce, creating economic instability that ripples throughout communities. The native-born, especially those in struggling industries, see their livelihoods dwindle as industries shift toward exploiting cheaper labor pools, facilitated by purposely lax immigration policies.
Trump understands that immigration, left uncontrolled, is the mechanism through which a nation’s spine can be broken. The deep ties to heritage, culture, and tradition weaken as foreign influences reshape once-stable communities. This imposition of “diversity,” which many deluded individuals tout as a strength, in fact serves as a Trojan horse, demolishing the pillars that made America great. Besides the economic strain, it is a matter of identity and survival. The ethos and ethnos of the American experiment are being diluted into oblivion.
“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people who came in. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” Trump’s words tell a ghastly tale, one that conjures visions of a land overrun by sinister vampires. As in Dracula, where the Count silently slips into the heart of London, spreading an unseen contagion, here, too, Trump paints a picture of invasion. The newcomers, like the undead legions, have taken root in the once-prosperous towns of America, driving the native people to terror. These invaders consume not only resources but the very soul of the community, leaving havoc in their wake. What should be a peaceful suburb has become a feeding ground, where the pets — the loyal companions of the innocent — are devoured. The nightmare is not just in the act but in what it represents: a loss of order, a descent into primal chaos. Trump, like van Helsing, stands as the lone figure warning the nation, pointing to the dastardly consequences of rampant villainy eroding the foundations of the nation.
The agents of this outfit, led by Kamala Harris, a “Marxist” according to Trump and an acolyte of eldritch horrors according to others, seek to usher in an era of unprecedented devastation. Harris’ rise, like the awakening of Cthulhu from its deathless slumber, threatens to cast the Western world into a maelstrom of madness and poverty. The policies she espouses, veiled in the cloak of “progress,” are but the writhings of the malevolent fishmen, desirous of dismantling the core of Western civilization. The French Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution were not isolated eruptions of political unrest. They were deliberate manifestations of a far more menacing design. These upheavals, cloaked in the rhetoric of “liberty and equality,” were in truth orchestrated by well-established forces bent on overthrowing the order that had been painstakingly forged over centuries. The revolutions were harbingers of massacre, unleashed by dark powers intent on erasing the divine architecture of hierarchy, faith, and tradition, leaving only a shattered world in their wake.
For generations, these forces have worked in secret, lurking in the shadows of human history. They are the Swamp, the millennia-old nefarious cabal that Trump has so courageously sought to expose. “When are the people that burned down Minneapolis going to be prosecuted?” Trump asked. The BLM riots, the destruction, the dissolution of societal norms — all are symptoms of a deeper sickness, orchestrated by an elite with no allegiances that seeks nothing less than the obliteration of national sovereignty. Its tactics are clear: deconstruct borders, destabilize elections, and undermine the institutions that have long kept it at bay.
Trump insisted that America “need[s] two things: We have to have borders and good elections.” Without borders, the people are clay, shapeless, and ready to be molded by those who seek to enslave them. And elections? Those are the people’s last weapon. The Swamp wants to rule forever, drowning the people in corruption, making sure no real challenger ever rises. Borders, elections — these are not policies; they are shields against tyranny. Trump knows if the people lose either, they are shackled, the Swamp devouring everything he and his followers fought for. Borders and elections are the fight for freedom itself.
The decline Trump warns of is not just political posturing — it is a brutal reality. “We have a nation in decline. We have a nation that is dying,” he said, each word weighted with the dread of a future he knows all too well. America, once a powerful empire, is on the brink, pushed there by weak, cowardly leadership like Joe Biden’s. The rot is not random; it is orchestrated and deliberate. Every failed policy, every act of betrayal by Biden and his ilk, is a step closer to that doom.
Trump’s remark, “They threw him [Biden] out of a campaign like a dog,” was not an insult; it was a revelation. Even within the ranks of the corrupt establishment, there is no loyalty, no camaraderie. They cannibalize their own, driven by a never-ending hunger for control and power. Biden, a puppet of the Swamp, is their perfect tool — spineless, corruptible, willing to do their bidding as America crumbles. For Trump, the fight is not merely against weak leaders; it is against the entire system of decrepitude threatening to engulf the nation.
“I read where she was not black, that she put out…” Trump’s words, vague yet loaded, drip with insinuation, casting Kamala Harris as a figure who has manipulated her identity and ascended by dubious means, suggesting she may have used more than political skill to climb the ladder of power. Like the veiled cultists in overgrown temples, Harris is presented as a pawn of devious engineers, reshaping her persona to grasp influence. Trump, ever the motivated crusader against these lurking fears, exposes this transformation as emblematic of the Swamp’s deceit, where loyalty to truth and tradition is sacrificed for ambition and opportunism.
“What they’ve done to business and manufacturing in this country is horrible. We have nothing! Biden doesn’t go after people. Between Biden and his son... they get all this money from all these different countries... Why is he so loyal to this one and that one? This is a crooked administration, and they’re selling our country down the tubes.” Trump’s words are a lament for a nation stripped of its industrial might, a country betrayed. In his vision, America’s once-great factories now stand silent, their lifeblood siphoned away by the corruption of the Biden administration. Shadowy foreign interests lurk behind the scenes, exchanging wealth for influence, while the American worker is abandoned to economic ruin. Trump sees Biden and his son as mere puppets, driven not by loyalty to country but by greed and the demands of international power brokers. The administration, under the sway of these globalists, has betrayed the people, leaving the nation in disarray, its greatness sold off piece by piece to the highest bidder. What was once an industrial powerhouse is now a withering invalid, tragic evidence for the power of betrayal.
Trump proclaimed, “We’re gonna end up in a third world war, and it’ll be a war like no other because of nuclear weapons.” And verily, the apocalypse draws near, as foretold in the Revelation of John, where fire from the heavens consumes the earth, and the nations are laid to waste. Yet, there stands a choice: between Trump, the last sentinel against the total reign of liberalism, and the Democratic apocalypse, whose leaders pave the way for destruction, hastening the trumpet call. Only one path leads to salvation, the other to ruin.

The NFL has officially suspended Kansas City Chiefs’ kicker, Harrison Butker, for his failure to meet the league minimum of domestic violence incidents. The league’s decision has sparked outrage and confusion among fans, who are struggling to come to terms with the revelation that their beloved kicker is apparently not living up to the high standards set by the NFL.
“I’m in shock,” said one Chiefs fan, in a statement released through social media. “I always thought Butker was one of the best in the NFL. I just can’t believe he’s not meeting the league minimum.”
The NFL’s decision to suspend Butker comes as a result of an internal investigation, which found that the Chiefs’ kicker has not been involved in a single domestic violence incident during his time in the league, a first among NFL players of his tenure. According to the investigation, Butker’s failure to meet the league minimum of domestic violence incidents has created an uneven playing field for other kickers, who are struggling to compete with the Chiefs’ star player.
“We take domestic violence very seriously in the NFL, it’s who we are,” said Roger Goodell, in a statement released through the league’s official website. “We cannot tolerate a player who is not meeting the league minimum of domestic violence incidents, and we will take swift and decisive action to address the situation.”
As the controversy surrounding Butker’s domestic violence record continues to swirl, many are left wondering what the future holds for the embattled kicker. Will he be able to find a way to increase his domestic violence incidents, or will he be forced to endure the shame and humiliation of being a below-average kicker in the NFL?

The Mystics of Progress by Isaac Young
By the 1960s, progressivism had reached a new ascendancy. Fueled by the unparalleled wealth that came with a modern economy, millions were lifted into new, luxurious lifestyles. Now was the time to put aside the ignorance of religion and finally embrace the freedoms offered by a world liberated from Christianity.
It isn’t hard to understand how so many fell for the deception. Things were getting better and better. Technology was improving, and more importantly, accelerating. The Soviet Union was an existential threat, yes. However, too many had already seen the miracle of science, and it seemed a better horse to back than spiritually weakened priests who were quickly conceding to the liberalism’s demands.
But with any new religion, there has to be a story, and the story science told wasn’t so flattering. Men had gone from sons of God to sons of apes. Salvation was a lie and death was the end. There was no justice in the world, and mercy was just the delusion of fools. Man was a small being in a cold universe. The only thing modern men could be comforted by was his own increasing material comfort.
That’s not a story anyone wants to hear. And it’s certainly not a story anyone wants to tell. While abject nihilism has always had its place in literature, it rightfully has a small audience. Nihilism has nothing that could sustain a city, much less a nation.
Reason and science needed romance. It needed adventure and a destiny. Without these things, it was a boring, uninspiring philosophy. Writers (good ones anyway) instinctively shy away from boring. Better to be dead than boring. If there is a victory, it has to be a glorious triumph. If it is a defeat, it has to be a last stand. And if it is banal, then it has to be the most shuddering and teeth clenching banality of all.
But the Sci-Fi writers of the 1960s and later could do a lot more than banality. They knew how to tell stories, and they (unconsciously or otherwise) slipped that dreaded irrationality and religious ignorance back into their fiction. In doing so, they created the archetypal myths which define the modern world.
We’ll start with what I consider to be the quintessential story of progressivism. 2001: A Space Odyssey was written in 1968 by Arthur C. Clarke. The original novel frames evolution not as random mutation guided by arbitrary natural selection, but rather as a series of stages, with each improving and progressing from the last. Guided by the hands of an intelligence, men are the products of a consciousness far beyond our comprehension.
From a purely scientific standpoint, this is complete hogwash. But from a storyteller’s perspective, this is gold. Men are no longer an accident of cosmic forces. Suddenly we have a destiny again. There’s a conflict of tug and pull. We are going somewhere and we (at least to this incomprehensible intelligence) matter. We may be apes, but we have the potential to be something more. Can we realize this destiny?
You’ll notice that God is back in the equation. Except this God is a surprisingly hollow one compared to the Christian God. This one makes no demands or moral rules upon humanity. This one does not care about the suffering of the life it created. This one wants little to do with humanity except when it achieves a sufficient stage of intelligence.
Make no mistake, this is a despotic and cruel God. But, it is also a God fit for rationalism. Could we be the products of unimaginable forces? Maybe. Nobody wants to believe this was all an accident. And while this God is empty, it is sufficient food for the poets and artists. So long as nobody makes any moral demands beyond the current zeitgeist, it is a harmless idea for scholars to speculate and pine about.
This idea of incorporating evolution into the narrative of progress and a distant, indistinct entity in God’s place is a common thread throughout all of Sci-Fi. And it doesn’t even have to be an indistinct entity. In the movie Contact, this role is occupied by a galactic community that judges humanity worthy to join them after a set time has passed. But do you know the kicker? Humanity is considered at all because we sent out some radio signals. That’s… depressing.
But there is another problem. What of the individual’s place in all of this? We can talk about humanity’s grand destiny all day, but the future of humanity is not something particularly inspiring to the guy working 9-5. Yay, we’re in the transitionary period where everything is still kinda awful, but our descendants will get to enjoy space utopia.
This question is not answered, but sidestepped paradoxically. Another of the Big Three, Isaac Asimov, showcases this bait and switch quite well in his magnum opus Foundation. This epic spans the collapse of a galactic empire. Hari Seldon has devised a new science called psychohistory, which charts the course of societies. He goes to set up a Foundation, which will be a light of science and knowledge in the coming Dark Ages and eventually bring back the empire.
This is a story that spans centuries. Its whole premise is charting the course of history. And psychohistory is not a science kind to individuals. It says what determines the course of history are large-scale incentives and institutional rot. We are but numbers on a spreadsheet encompassing billions of worlds, and the greater part of humanity is accounted for in the margins.
But how did Isaac Asimov write this story? Well, he didn’t, at least not in the way he thought. A third of the first book follows a shrewd politician named Salvor Hardin as he outmaneuvers factions within Foundation. He eventually consolidates their society and neighboring kingdoms into a religious theocracy. Particularly, he accomplishes this through a clever ruse by outfitting enemy fleets with a kill-switch and faking it as divine power.
Fourteen-year-old me put down the book at the moment and asked, “okay, but what if there wasn’t Salvor Hardin?” There is some argument for the Second Foundation and Seldon predicting the rise of great men, but individuals are precisely the antithesis of psychohistory. You’ll find in each section of Isaac Asimov’s magnum opus, there are great men of history. There are people who rise above the paradigm and set the trends of the coming future. And it is not just captains of industry or conniving warlords. Even small people have a huge impact on galactic affairs. The Mule (a mutant with telepathic powers) lost because he fell in love with a normal woman.
Sci-Fi is full of these characters. One moment they are but insignificant specks, the next they are upending everything. In this, you see a paradox which is played whenever the narrative is convenient for it. Humanity is vast, and the individual has no power, or the individual leads the revolution and remakes society.
I’m not saying this is done deliberately (though it probably certainly happened at some stage). However, progress needed a place for the individual, if only because storytellers demanded it so. You cannot tell a good story without people whose actions matter. Stories need heroes and villains, otherwise you have no story at all. It may go completely against the rational point of view, which says people are utterly insignificant, but can’t we just pretend that we are?
The final component of this narrative is a vision of what is trying to be achieved. The stage is set. We have our gods and demons, heroes and villains. For what shall be the contest? Well, the answer varies depending upon who you ask.
Gene Roddenberry’s vision in Star Trek is of a space traveling humanity where all material wants were satisfied. Thankfully, the galaxy was filled with different peoples and aliens to meet. Otherwise, his stories would be fairly boring. Of course, that is the least of his world building troubles. Star Trek does not stand up to even the most cursory scrutiny.
However, I don’t think progress was promising material utopia. At least, that wasn’t what people wanted. Utopia is a nice political aim, but I suspect what really captivated the audience was the prospect of an endless adventure.
What is mankind now fighting for? Ironically, the soldiers of progress want the world to go back as it once was, where the horizon was an unexplored frontier.
In the 16th century, men put themselves on little boats and crossed oceans for adventure. But space is too vast an ocean and our boats too tiny to cross. I have seen many futurists on the internet, and the dream of space travel is admittedly an intoxicating one. It tends to fill your thoughts as you work retail. I know it did for me.
In the imagination of many, humanity was just at its short adolescent stage. Once it stepped into the stars, the fun would begin again. Again, this goes against all science. The galaxy so far has been silent, and I think it’s time we begin to accept that alien life, if it does exist, is so far away as to be inaccessible.
Space is out. But what about computers? Neuromancer by William Gibson was released in 1984. A little later than the 1960s, but it’s still a foundational text. Perhaps the future we’re fighting for is a simulation? Of course, I wouldn’t want to live in the world of Neuromancer, but the dream of uploading your mind is an enticing one. What if your life could be a video game?
Suppose you could do it. Suppose I could turn you into a program and put you in a simulation. Would your life be better than what you have now? For those advocating for this future, most seem to skip that step. Let’s take at the modern day. Are our lives really better with what digitization has already accomplished? Everyone agrees social media is a plague on humanity, yet why are so many pushing to trap themselves on what would be the ultimate social media platform?
You’ll again notice we’ve ditched reason yet again for a digital version of heaven. And our future is so much more enlightened than religious notions of an afterlife. We’ve taken salvation and commercialized it. Your eternal soul will be bought with the US dollar.
But putting all that aside, why do these stories matter? These stories are all fiction. They are nothing to be taken seriously. I can already hear the cry that this all has nothing to do with the actual expectations people had for the future. Had I brought 2001: A Space Odyssey into an academic debate on industrialization, I would’ve been laughed out.
However, people do not tell stories just for mindless amusement. In them are the beliefs of a people. More than just hopes and dreams, stories are a reflection of the world as we see it. And in these stories I have listed, you see the beliefs of the people writing them. You see their Gods and Devils, their Heroes and Villains, and the reality they want to make happen. Stories are a look at where we are and where we are going. And most importantly, stories are a confession of faith.
Did Arthur C. Clarke believe in monoliths that uplifted humanity? No. But he certainly believed in the God that made them.

We visited our newly married daughter, who was preparing her first Thanksgiving dinner. I noticed the turkey thawing in the kitchen sink with a dish drainer inverted over the bird. I asked why a drainer covered the turkey.

The NFL has officially suspended Kansas City Chiefs’ kicker, Harrison Butker, for his failure to meet the league minimum of domestic violence incidents. The league’s decision has sparked outrage and confusion among fans, who are struggling to come to terms with the revelation that their beloved kicker is apparently not living up to the high standards set by the NFL.
“I’m in shock,” said one Chiefs fan, in a statement released through social media. “I always thought Butker was one of the best in the NFL. I just can’t believe he’s not meeting the league minimum.”
The NFL’s decision to suspend Butker comes as a result of an internal investigation, which found that the Chiefs’ kicker has not been involved in a single domestic violence incident during his time in the league, a first among NFL players of his tenure. According to the investigation, Butker’s failure to meet the league minimum of domestic violence incidents has created an uneven playing field for other kickers, who are struggling to compete with the Chiefs’ star player.
“We take domestic violence very seriously in the NFL, it’s who we are,” said Roger Goodell, in a statement released through the league’s official website. “We cannot tolerate a player who is not meeting the league minimum of domestic violence incidents, and we will take swift and decisive action to address the situation.”
As the controversy surrounding Butker’s domestic violence record continues to swirl, many are left wondering what the future holds for the embattled kicker. Will he be able to find a way to increase his domestic violence incidents, or will he be forced to endure the shame and humiliation of being a below-average kicker in the NFL?

The Mystics of Progress by Isaac Young
By the 1960s, progressivism had reached a new ascendancy. Fueled by the unparalleled wealth that came with a modern economy, millions were lifted into new, luxurious lifestyles. Now was the time to put aside the ignorance of religion and finally embrace the freedoms offered by a world liberated from Christianity.
It isn’t hard to understand how so many fell for the deception. Things were getting better and better. Technology was improving, and more importantly, accelerating. The Soviet Union was an existential threat, yes. However, too many had already seen the miracle of science, and it seemed a better horse to back than spiritually weakened priests who were quickly conceding to the liberalism’s demands.
But with any new religion, there has to be a story, and the story science told wasn’t so flattering. Men had gone from sons of God to sons of apes. Salvation was a lie and death was the end. There was no justice in the world, and mercy was just the delusion of fools. Man was a small being in a cold universe. The only thing modern men could be comforted by was his own increasing material comfort.
That’s not a story anyone wants to hear. And it’s certainly not a story anyone wants to tell. While abject nihilism has always had its place in literature, it rightfully has a small audience. Nihilism has nothing that could sustain a city, much less a nation.
Reason and science needed romance. It needed adventure and a destiny. Without these things, it was a boring, uninspiring philosophy. Writers (good ones anyway) instinctively shy away from boring. Better to be dead than boring. If there is a victory, it has to be a glorious triumph. If it is a defeat, it has to be a last stand. And if it is banal, then it has to be the most shuddering and teeth clenching banality of all.
But the Sci-Fi writers of the 1960s and later could do a lot more than banality. They knew how to tell stories, and they (unconsciously or otherwise) slipped that dreaded irrationality and religious ignorance back into their fiction. In doing so, they created the archetypal myths which define the modern world.
We’ll start with what I consider to be the quintessential story of progressivism. 2001: A Space Odyssey was written in 1968 by Arthur C. Clarke.

Barbarians at the Gate by Lars Moller
A long time ago, Charles Martel, uncrowned ruler of the Franks, led his Christian army to victory over the forces of Arab commander Abd al-Rahman al-Ghafiqi at the Battle of Tours (October 10, 732 C.E.).
The defeat of the Muslim invaders, especially dreaded for their heavy cavalry, marked a turning point in the long-standing war against the Umayyad Caliphate. After crushing the Visigoths at the Battle of Guadalete (July 19, 711 C.E.), they had earned a reputation for being invincible as they expanded their dominion toward the north of the Iberian Peninsula, founding the province of al-Andalus. At one point, it seemed inevitable that they would march on Paris. It is stated by historians, however, that the Frankish infantry finally succeeded in stemming the Islamization of Western Europe. At least for the time being.
It may very well be that present-day migrants, who traverse entire continents to reach the post-Christian, liberal, and affluent societies, landing on south-facing shores of Spain or crowding at border posts in the Balkans, are not armed and organized in ranks on arrival in the West. However, they are far more numerous than the saber-wielding cavalrymen that ravaged Christendom in the past. They make a formidable invasion force.
The fact that migrants, whatever their origin, single out the West as the destination of their perilous journey is due to the expectation of prosperity rather than admiration of Western values. Of course, they are indifferent to the exhortations of the Gospels, the critical thinking of the Enlightenment, and freedom of speech. Inadvertently, they are the invaders and spearhead colonizers of our time, driven by basic motives such as envy and greed. What “infidels” have in the West, they also want for themselves.
Including a large element of illiterates from packed out, nefarious rogue states, the enormous crowds of migrants, though invaders, do not behave in the orderly fashion of Roman legions marching off to war as in the days of the Republic. On the contrary, they are barbarians on the move. Infinitely many at that. In every sense, they represent the antithesis of Western civilization. Accordingly, the impression of their somewhat protracted, disorganized invasion is more like that of Goths, Vandals, and Franks pushing through “Limes Germanicus” as a prelude to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Muslim migrants, who tend to concentrate in the suburbs, like yielding to a sense of shared destiny, are civilian invaders with a distinct culture of their own. Although poor and needy at the outset, they may soon grow a disparaging view of those who take them in and provide for them. Inspired by homeborn leaders trying to set them against the West, they may convince themselves that it is inappropriate to show signs of gratitude. In their view, accepting funds from those of another — and “inferior” — faith is only to assert their right. It is like collecting the traditional tax from dhimmis: “Jizya”.
The plentier the migrants become, the stronger the cultural impact on Western society. Properly speaking, Islam has behaved like an “invasive alien culture” outside the Arabian Peninsula. Wherever this faith has been introduced by invading armies and migrating masses, followers of other faiths have been persecuted, forcibly converted, and massacred.
At first glance, the invaders may look like venerable, peaceful nomads. The narrative goes that they are simply in search of a better life. A favorite pastime of the progressive elite, it is tempting to romanticize and pity the young men entering the West from sinking boats or dusty roads. Without personal cost, “telescopic philanthropy” may yield a social media return.
Even as the invaders break the laws, committing theft, robbery, and rape on a warlike scale (e.g. events at New Year’s Eve in Cologne, 2015–16), their apologists turn the charge against their own countrymen for being bigoted and unreasonably judgmental. (In retrospect, it might dawn on Western opinion that a specific pattern of offenses gave it the first hint of a supremacist contempt for non-Muslims.)
It is rumored around the world that the West has become decadent and vulnerable to blackmail. France, formerly the home of academic-artistic refinement, is a truly despairing case of its own. Inasmuch as he betrayed his “pied noir” compatriots in Algeria when making the irrevocable decision to withdraw from Africa in 1961 (following a murderous campaign costing the lives of as many as 500,000–1,000,000 Algerians), Charles de Gaulle may have realized that France would eventually be “absorbed” by the former colony, whose birth rates were at the top, rather than the other way around.
For cultural reasons, Algeria would never become another French province. Though sharing a common past as Roman provinces, France and Algeria had gone their separate ways in the meantime; matters of faith now stood in the way of cultural and social integration.
At any rate, the French already had the demographic destiny against them back then. Therefore, it looks like the height of imprudence, indifference, or (deliberate) betrayal of the nation that subsequent governments should liberalize immigration laws and allow Algerians — along with other North Africans — to invade France massively and take possession of its cities. Seen in this perspective, the predictable absorption of France — a tragedy of titanic proportions — has merely been transferred to the European theater, neither prevented nor delayed very much.
Nowadays, French cities, ancient centers of architectural beauty and learning, are surrounded (and besieged) by hostile suburbs — the so-called “banlieues”: Arab-dominated satellites serving as hotbeds of (a) organized crime, (b) civil unrest, and (c) terrorism (i.e. “jihad” in other words).
Compared to the invading Arabs and Berbers from the south, the Frankish forces under the command of Martel were technically and numerically inferior at Tours. However, his footmen had faith and fought with confidence. To the great relief of Christian Europe, they walked away victorious.
So far, France has retained the technological advantage of the nineteenth century. Industrialism combined with an unshakeable belief in civilization gave the Western powers the edge that allowed them to dominate world trade. In principle, France has the necessary weaponry to win the war against the old enemy. Yet, it has chosen to give up the chance to crush him.
The thing is that the invaders have long since crossed the border into France and set up camp everywhere. Their ongoing conquest is a chilling reality. Not only have they been met with nothing but passive resistance along the way, despite historic grievances, they have also been invited to settle in the country by its treacherous rulers.
The reason, why the enemy is allowed to intrigue and operate unhindered in our time, is that the French have lost faith in both God and themselves — bereft of the will to prevail, agreeing to the arbitrary conditions of invaders willing to rule. The moral challenge for those with a conscience that extends beyond themselves here and now is that largely ignorant, pretentious, and irresponsible legislators make far-reaching decisions that cannot be undone. They will call down darkness upon posterity and force it into slavery indefinitely.
As strange as it sounds, the French are now ready to approve their alien masters and suspend allegiance to “liberty, equality, and fraternity”, tantamount to the end of state secularism (laïcité). However, they have chosen their own destiny and should not be pitied. Failed by their leaders from the progressive elite, they are beyond salvation. Ideological rigor and submission comprise their future. In their own way, they have been preparing for the new era for a hundred years.
Ever since the interwar period, the French have been busy ridiculing tradition, breaking down the remains of Christian piety and aesthetic ideals handed down from antiquity. What has been left behind after the deluge of modernism — following waves of malignant ideology (e.g. socialism), egotistical philosophy (e.g. existentialism), and fake “science” (e.g. sociology) — is a nation of godless, desperately pleasure-seeking, and impuissant souls without any sense of community; a nation given to mindless consumption, superficial-ecstatic fashion whims, and degenerate artistic expressions. Others are waiting to fill the power vacuum, though.
Milestones in the long march of the French nation towards its self-inflicted doom have been the Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan massacres. However, it does not stop there. The world has only just seen the beginning of what is to come.

Barbarians at the Gate by Lars Moller
A long time ago, Charles Martel, uncrowned ruler of the Franks, led his Christian army to victory over the forces of Arab commander Abd al-Rahman al-Ghafiqi at the Battle of Tours (October 10, 732 C.E.).
The defeat of the Muslim invaders, especially dreaded for their heavy cavalry, marked a turning point in the long-standing war against the Umayyad Caliphate. After crushing the Visigoths at the Battle of Guadalete (July 19, 711 C.E.), they had earned a reputation for being invincible as they expanded their dominion toward the north of the Iberian Peninsula, founding the province of al-Andalus. At one point, it seemed inevitable that they would march on Paris. It is stated by historians, however, that the Frankish infantry finally succeeded in stemming the Islamization of Western Europe. At least for the time being.
It may very well be that present-day migrants, who traverse entire continents to reach the post-Christian, liberal, and affluent societies, landing on south-facing shores of Spain or crowding at border posts in the Balkans, are not armed and organized in ranks on arrival in the West. However, they are far more numerous than the saber-wielding cavalrymen that ravaged Christendom in the past. They make a formidable invasion force.
The fact that migrants, whatever their origin, single out the West as the destination of their perilous journey is due to the expectation of prosperity rather than admiration of Western values. Of course, they are indifferent to the exhortations of the Gospels, the critical thinking of the Enlightenment, and freedom of speech. Inadvertently, they are the invaders and spearhead colonizers of our time, driven by basic motives such as envy and greed. What “infidels” have in the West, they also want for themselves.
Including a large element of illiterates from packed out, nefarious rogue states, the enormous crowds of migrants, though invaders, do not behave in the orderly fashion of Roman legions marching off to war as in the days of the Republic. On the contrary, they are barbarians on the move. Infinitely many at that. In every sense, they represent the antithesis of Western civilization. Accordingly, the impression of their somewhat protracted, disorganized invasion is more like that of Goths, Vandals, and Franks pushing through “Limes Germanicus” as a prelude to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Muslim migrants, who tend to concentrate in the suburbs, like yielding to a sense of shared destiny, are civilian invaders with a distinct culture of their own. Although poor and needy at the outset, they may soon grow a disparaging view of those who take them in and provide for them. Inspired by homeborn leaders trying to set them against the West, they may convince themselves that it is inappropriate to show signs of gratitude. In their view, accepting funds from those of another — and “inferior” — faith is only to assert their right. It is like collecting the traditional tax from dhimmis: “Jizya”.
The plentier the migrants become, the stronger the cultural impact on Western society. Properly speaking, Islam has behaved like an “invasive alien culture” outside the Arabian Peninsula. Wherever this faith has been introduced by invading armies and migrating masses, followers of other faiths have been persecuted, forcibly converted, and massacred.
At first glance, the invaders may look like venerable, peaceful nomads. The narrative goes that they are simply in search of a better life. A favorite pastime of the progressive elite, it is tempting to romanticize and pity the young men entering the West from sinking boats or dusty roads. Without personal cost, “telescopic philanthropy” may yield a social media return.
Even as the invaders break the laws, committing theft, robbery, and rape on a warlike scale (e.g. events at New Year’s Eve in Cologne, 2015–16), their apologists turn the charge against their own countrymen for being bigoted and unreasonably judgmental. (In retrospect, it might dawn on Western opinion that a specific pattern of offenses gave it the first hint of a supremacist contempt for non-Muslims.)
It is rumored around the world that the West has become decadent and vulnerable to blackmail. France, formerly the home of academic-artistic refinement, is a truly despairing case of its own. Inasmuch as he betrayed his “pied noir” compatriots in Algeria when making the irrevocable decision to withdraw from Africa in 1961 (following a murderous campaign costing the lives of as many as 500,000–1,000,000 Algerians), Charles de Gaulle may have realized that France would eventually be “absorbed” by the former colony, whose birth rates were at the top, rather than the other way around.

Therefore, it looks like the height of imprudence, indifference, or (deliberate) betrayal of the nation that subsequent governments should liberalize immigration laws and allow Algerians — along with other North Africans — to invade France massively and take possession of its cities. Seen in this perspective, the predictable absorption of France — a tragedy of titanic proportions — has merely been transferred to the European theater, neither prevented nor delayed very much.
Nowadays, French cities, ancient centers of architectural beauty and learning, are surrounded (and besieged) by hostile suburbs — the so-called “banlieues”: Arab-dominated satellites serving as hotbeds of (a) organized crime, (b) civil unrest, and (c) terrorism (i.e. “jihad” in other words).
Compared to the invading Arabs and Berbers from the south, the Frankish forces under the command of Martel were technically and numerically inferior at Tours. However, his footmen had faith and fought with confidence. To the great relief of Christian Europe, they walked away victorious.
So far, France has retained the technological advantage of the nineteenth century. Industrialism combined with an unshakeable belief in civilization gave the Western powers the edge that allowed them to dominate world trade. In principle, France has the necessary weaponry to win the war against the old enemy. Yet, it has chosen to give up the chance to crush him.
