…aith, believing that the value system advanced by Brussels is at odds with Georgia’s relatively conservative social mores. They also worry that stronger EU ties could erode Georgia’s national identity. In one prominent example of the Orthodox faithful’s wariness, Orthodox priests led a counter-demonstration to a LGBT rally in 2013. Dozens were injured in an ensuing riot. Edilashvili reports that some 1,700 priests, teachers, and students have atte…

White Nationalist Mottos, the Fate of Jews in the New Christian State, and ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Humor — Day 2 of NatCon 2024

…e of the aisle”—only enemies In a morning panel of the second day of NatCon 2024, a group of Republican senators hammered home a confrontational message. Sen. Jim DeMint: “There is no reasonable consensus between what we believe, and the ideology of the progressive Left. We have to beat them.” Senator Ron Johnson: “It’s not our friend on the other side of the aisle, even though I wish it would be. It’s a real battle. The radical Left and progressi…

Ten Commandments of the Antichrist: The Georgia Guidestones

…agenda; with only a few dissenting voices pointing out that any assault on free speech, even the free speech of an anonymous cabal, threatens the rights of all. The vandalism of the Guidestones seems to be a classic case of an eccentric and lofty idea under assault by the hoi polloi. In fact, a letter from the monument’s benefactors printed by the Elberton Granite Finishing Company predicted just such a scenario. They ask that the people of Elbert…

The Right is Using the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago Search to Martyr Trump and Maintain the Violent Myth of the Big Lie

…ou have basically guaranteed him the nomination for the Republican Party in 2024, and you’re going to give him a big weapon to go after Joe Biden or, you know, whatever Democrat emerges in 2024 if they don’t convict him. While it’s wrongheaded to worry about riling up Trump’s base if there’s evidence he committed criminal offenses, I think Jennings is right to a degree. The stakes are high in this case—for Attorney General Merrick Garland, Preside…

Media Fail to Acknowledge That 2024 Hopeful Ron DeSantis is as Catholic as Biden

…of Ron DeSantis, Florida’s rabidly culture-warring governor and a possible 2024 frontrunner for the Republican presidential candidate, as a Catholic politician. He clearly is one, although documenting the ins and outs of how DeSantis’s faith intersects with his politics requires digging much deeper than coverage in the legacy media or cable news. As a child, DeSantis, a descendant of Italian immigrants, attended Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Schoo…

‘Spooky Action’ of Quantum Physics Offers an Alternative Frame for War in the Middle East and the 2024 Election

…reactionary Supreme Court has elevated “religious freedom” above all other freedoms and rights, about how the Right is turning religion into identity. This paradox exists around the world, representing a turning-inward, rather than a turning-toward—a fractal roughening of the landscape of politics, which has become more local, more contested, more fraught, more violent, more paranoid, and more primitive as global institutions have broken down. We…

The Dark Side of BYU’s Honor Code

…reating serious backlash among BYU students and faculty. Since then, Honor Code enforcement has been conducted through referrals—even third party referrals—of suspect students to a campus Honor Code office, a system of enforcement that has created significant opportunities for abuse. (When I was a BYU student, it was possible to make an anonymous third-party referral.) Honor Code enforcement on campus has been used to bait and target gays and libe…

Georgia Legislator Behind Bill Criminalizing Miscarriage is Christian Reconstructionist

…and what constitutes murder. The bill asserts in a preamble: “The State of Georgia has the duty to protect all innocent life from the moment of conception until natural death. We know that life begins at conception.” The preamble is the justification for making what Franklin labels “pre-natal murder” illegal. (Georgia isn’t the only state taking up new and controversial bills on abortion.) What makes Franklin’s bill different, though, is the provi…
