Birutė – one of the most mysterious women in 14th-century Lithuania

The wife of Kęstutis and mother of Vytautas the Great, her story is intertwined with legend. According to tradition, she was a vaidilutė – a keeper of the sacred pagan fire in Palanga – until Kęstutis took her to Trakai and married her.

According to tradition, Birutė was laid to rest in Palanga. Today, Birutė Hill – one of Lithuania’s most iconic sacred sites – still bears her name and keeps her memory alive.

It is not true that – ‘Jewish values lie at the very bottom, the very core of Western civilization’ — Ricardo Duchesne

(1) The Judaism that entered the West and shaped Christianity was a Hellenized version. From the 3rd century BC onward, Greek language, culture, education, and philosophy deeply penetrated even Palestinian Judaism.

(2) Judaism on its own evolved into Talmudism in isolation and contradistinction to Christianity.

(3) As Christianity spread in the Greek-speaking Hellenistic and Roman world, it was transformed by Greek philosophy (Platonism, Stoicism, Aristotelianism, Neoplatonism).

Christianity became a sophisticated theological system through its fusion with Greek philosophy and Roman legal principles.

(4) The Christianity that actually shaped medieval and Western European civilization was further transformed by Germanic (Indo-European folk) worldviews.

Christianity’s absorption of Germanic cultural elements produced a hybrid “Germanized” Christianity that shaped European institutions, ethics, and identity for centuries.

(5) Finally, the real (millennial) foundation of Western civilization was the Proto-Indo-European cultural package (roughly 4500-2500 BC) consisting of horse-riding, mobile pastoralism, a tripartite social ideology of priests, warriors, and producers. This came with an aristocratic warrior ethos centered on personal glory, loyalty to the war-band, reciprocal gift-exchange, and sky/storm gods.

Duchesne is well-informed and thus able to make his case using few words. His rebuttal of the speaker, Melanie Phillips,—who surely must know she is rubbing salt in the wounds of a West which has been deeply undermined by Talmudic Jewish Supremacy—should be committed to memory by all who care about the West and want it to survive.

TPUSA was NOT providing information on Charlie Kirk’s assassination to people who reached out in good faith

I am not sure who this person is. The clip was posted by Aubrey Laitsch, who I assume is the speaker. This very much appears to be authentic testimony. This is yet another insight into the very dubious manipulation occurring throughout the investigation into Kirk’s murder. Incidentally, imo, Candace performed very well in the debate and Wilson did not. ABN

Sex criminals will be caned under proposals voted on in Taiwan referendum

Criminals convicted of sex crimes and fraud will be caned under proposals voted on in a referendum in Taiwan.   

Taiwan‘s opposition-controlled parliament voted on Friday to hold three controversial referendums, including one on caning those guilty of sex crimes and fraud, and another to revive nuclear power, which could be held later this year.

Referendums are held every few years in the nation, most often after citizens collect the required number of signatures to back a proposal. 

Lawmakers can also initiate them, however, as was the case with the three measures voted on this week.

Trump administration steps into surrogate’s battle over baby with a heart defect biological parents asked her to abort

The Trump administration has waded into a surrogate‘s battle to save a baby with a heart defect who she refused to abort despite the biological parents’ wishes.

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights warned hospitals in Texas that the baby delivered by McKenna West must receive life-saving medical care, the New York Post reports.

West gave birth to the child she has called Baby Gabriel in Dallas on Wednesday in violation of a request by his biological parents, Nausheen Gilkar, 43, and Omar Ahmed, 45.

The couple had asked West to abort the baby after they learned he had hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a treatable heart condition.

Trump signs Executive Order to maximize parental choice over vaccinations for their children

DELIVERING GOLD STANDARD CHILDHOOD VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to recognize Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations that maximize parental choices over vaccinations for their children and align three categories of childhood immunizations with scientific evidence and best practices from peer, developed countries.

• The Order provides recommendations that give parents more information and options when making immunization decisions for their children.
  • The Order recommends all children get immunizations to provide protection for 11 diseases – a decrease from the 18 diseases recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2024. Immunizations no longer recommended for all children are now recommended for shared clinical decision-making, ensuring that parents have all options available to them. 
  • The Order recommends separating out the combined MMR vaccine into three single-disease shots and recommends administering all vaccines during separate medical visits to give parents more options regarding the timing and frequency of this vaccine administration.
  • States that enact school vaccine requirements are advised to consider the Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations and consider updating their laws to reflect the recommendations.
  • All Federal agencies are advised to advance the Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations based on their relevant authorities to ensure Americans have the best scientific information. 
• The Order maximizes parental choice over childhood vaccines by promoting State compliance with constitutional and Federal law related to parental authority, religious freedom, disability accommodations, and equal protection under the law, including States’ obligations to provide religious and medical exemptions from childhood and adolescent immunization requirement.
• The Order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the HHS Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines, to present plans to the President to improve vaccine research and options for American parents, including continuous evaluation of the risk and benefit profiles of all childhood vaccines based on U.S. and international data.

Looks like a good start.

When you consider the vaccine topic from a vague ‘national’ and ‘science’ POV, it can appear complex, leading to individual resignation or stubborn belief based on unthinking habituation. When you consider it from a state’s POV or a schoolboard’s, the absurdity of government coercing medical treatments for children is easier to see for what it is. The smaller the state or the dumber the schoolboard, the more obvious it becomes. USA local and state governments are filled with people entirely unqualified to rule on matters like this. When ‘national standards’ are blindly followed, anyone who can read and think understands relevant agencies have all been captured by Big Pharma and Big Money. ABN

Paradise Lost: How African Migrants Made Millions on Filthy Medicaid Homes Where Disabled Mainers Were Abused

State records show Paradise Residential Services, an autism agency run by “New Mainers” from Central Africa, violated disability rights while earning $25 million under MaineCare.

Paradise Residential Services CEO Jocelyne Ininahazwe and her family enjoyed luxury Mercedes brands while the disabled Mainers who relied on the Medicaid agency for 24/7 care were living in squalor, subject to abuse and neglect by non-English speaking staff, including some who were untrained and never subjected to background checks.

That’s the chief takeaway from documents released Friday by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), including a termination letter to Paradise that cited “violations [that] place the health and safety of MaineCare Members in immediate jeopardy.”

“[Paradise Residential Services] failed to ensure individuals are protected from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, specifically, lack of food, spoiled food, unsanitary conditions in the home, broken glass throughout basement, individuals have been repeatedly left without staff, staff not supervising or providing services,” according to the DHHS letter.

Records show Paradise Residential Services, terminated in March for failing to protect disabled Mainers from abuse, was founded by five investors: Jocelyne Ininahazwe, Juste Arakaza, Tresor Niyongabo, Enock Nijimbere Tshibungu, and Eric Nshimiyimana.

For a relatively small upfront investment, the crew of “New Mainers” hauled in $25M from 2022 to 2025. They were billing $400k per patient. That’s $800k in annual revenue for every middle class home they purchased..

What Caused the Post-WW2 Decline of Urban America? Part 2 – Dropping the Hammer

The Shelley’s home in St. Louis was ground zero for the 1948 ruling that struck down neighborhood Freedom of Association. That year, a weaponized Supreme Court invented a “right” of forced entry that a more sober and diverse Supreme Court had unanimously rejected in 1926. Urban chaos exploded when the Court got it wrong.

As detailed in Part 1, dozens of major U.S. cities experienced a cooling of growth in the 1930s and then suffered huge losses after WW2, reversing over a century of previous expansion and prosperity. Two big factors in that decline were the unprecedented federal assaults on the historical work/save/invest ethic via nationalizing home mortgages (instant bank credit) in the 1930s and the 1935 nationalization of unions triggering the downfall of urban manufacturing that froze millions of middle-class jobs.

A third and more devastating federal action was inventing the “right” of forced entry by blacks (or anyone else) into previously peaceful English, German, Irish, Polish, Italian and other diverse ethnic communities. This final act of reckless social engineering permanently chased away millions of established urban residents and replaced them with a new class of predominantly poor, rural, uneducated people who often had little or no experience with the rigors of owning and maintaining property.

The federal imposition that chased people out of stable urban communities was the Supreme Court’s 1948 Shelley vs. Kraemer decision that abolished Freedom of Association in American neighborhoods.

This radical decision reversed the 1926 Corrigan vs. Buckley ruling that had unanimously protected those community rights in a very similar case. Unfortunately, both rulings have been largely forgotten in today’s climate of extreme aversion to anything branded “racism.” That reflexive avoidance has left enormous gaps in the public record.

Mises Institute’s 5 Purges: Omitting Jewish Bankers

Five Private Steps in the Statist Censorship Continuum

Censored image: This Substack distills every article into clear syllogistic infographics—saving readers time and preventing shaky premises and reasoning from being hidden behind a torrent of words. However, AIs often refuse to generate politically incorrect infographics. Initially Grok refused to generate this infographic and gave instead a long lecture on the great trustworthiness of the Mises Institute. Here is an example:

After being pushed, Grok finally agreed to generate an infographic but refused to include the terms “Jewish monopolies” (historical tax farmer, slave trade, war contractor, trade and banking monopolies) and “Jewish Problem” (Diaspora group refusing to assimilate). Yet other American AI models are even more censorious. ChatGPT, for instance, flatly refuses to discuss historically documented Jewish monopolies, while China’s DeepSeek allows these conversations.

Introduction

The Ludwig von Mises Institute serves as the headquarters for the Austrian School of economics and the rationalist-conservative strain of libertarianism known as Austro-Libertarianism. Although Ludwig von Mises passed away in 1973 and his leading disciple, Murray Rothbard, in 1995, their memory and intellectual message are carried on by the Institute. Led by President Llewellyn Rockwell Jr., the Institute’s foremost resident intellectual is David Gordon—a close friend and disciple of Rothbard. Like Mises and Rothbard, Gordon is Jewish. So too was Burton Blumert, whose Center for Libertarian Studies helped establish the Mises Institute before later integrating into it.

Following Blumert’s passing in 2009, only Rockwell and Gordon remain from the original guard. Gordon serves as the scholarly editor of the Mises Review and stands as the ultimate authority on all things Rothbardian. He is deeply revered by the Institute’s student body; some of his student fans even affectionately refer to him as the mastermind or “God” due to his encyclopedic knowledge on virtually every subject.

Together, Rockwell and Gordon have led the Institute for decades, dramatically expanding its footprint into a multi-building campus where thousands of university students and scholars have been educated on the principles of liberty.

Masterminds

Austro-Libertarianism is renowned not only for its free-market ideology and cultural conservatism, but particularly for its anti-war, isolationist foreign policy. This stance is rooted in an Austro-Libertarian Theory and historical narrative that views the United States as the world’s foremost imperialist power. At first glance, the Austro-Libertarian theory of history appears paradoxical. Much like Marxist theory, it posits that world history is largely driven by genetic and economic forces. However, unlike Marxism, it assigns a key role to specific individuals who operate at the crossroads of history when economic crises and wars create turning points. These key actors can be great generals, politicians, or entrepreneurs—but they can also be intellectuals. Occasionally, these intellectuals act as true masterminds, steering the course of history toward either liberty or tyranny through the sheer force of their ideas and personality.

Austro-Libertarians believe that during the last century, two great masterminds successfully turned the wheel of history toward liberty: Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard. Mises championed the fight against socialism. His disciple, Rothbard, not only expanded Mises’ work into a comprehensive, rationalist anti-statist paradigm, but also laid the foundations for the modern paleolibertarian movement alongside allies like Howard Buffett, Ron Paul and Patrick Buchanan.

The most famous of these allies is former Congressman Ron Paul, who remains closely associated with the institute. His historic campaigns in 2008 and 2012 brought him remarkably close to securing the Republican presidential nomination. Today, the Ron Paul Liberty Movement continues to exert significant influence within the Republican Party, MAGA and the larger libertarian movement.

Trump launches crackdown on birthright citizenship targeting tourists and babies born on US soil

President Donald Trump signed two executive actions on Thursday to crack down on ‘birth tourism’ in the US and to restrict citizenship from being granted to the children of foreign diplomats.

Birth tourism is a practice where pregnant mothers travel to the states to give birth and ensure their children are granted US citizenship. 

‘They’re buying their way in, and we’re not going to let it happen,’ Trump said in the Oval Office, announcing the new policies. 

‘We’re making adjustments because it’s very unfair,’ the President said of the practice.

Japanese population falls below 120m for first time in 42 years

TOKYO (Kyodo) — The number of Japanese nationals fell below 120 million for the first time in 42 years to 119,736,483 at the start of this year, the government said Wednesday, underscoring the challenges faced by a nation battling declining birth rates.

The figure as of Jan. 1 showed a drop of 917,000 people from a year earlier, the largest fall since comparable data became available in 1968, according to data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.

The number of foreign residents, meanwhile, rose 354,000 to a record 4,031,159. The ministry began compiling relevant data in 2013.

Despite government efforts to reverse the declining birth trend, the country recorded around 670,000 births, a record low, compared with around 1.59 million deaths.

Massive India H-1B Visa Fraud Ring Busted…

The long-simmering scandal over America’s H-1B visa program has erupted into a full national crisis, as Indian law enforcement has uncovered a sprawling network of universities selling counterfeit degrees—many of which were allegedly used by foreign nationals to fraudulently obtain H-1B visas and enter the United States workforce.

The raid has set off alarm bells in Washington, and for good reason: the integrity of a program designed to attract the world’s best talent has been systematically exploited for decades.

According to initial reports, the fraud ring spans no fewer than 28 universities across India, with fake certificates and counterfeit institutional seals recovered across the medical, nursing, and engineering fields. In a staggering display of industrial-scale deception, investigators have seized approximately 100,000 counterfeit certificates so far.

The fraud bust is merely the most dramatic chapter in an ongoing story of systemic abuse that conservative voices have warned about for years. A former U.S. consular officer who served in Chennai, India — one of the world’s largest H-1B visa-processing posts — has alleged that between 80 and 90 percent of H-1B visa applications from India during her tenure contained fraudulent documentation.

Judaism’s Code of Silence

Judaism possesses a concept that bears striking functional similarities to the Italian Mafia’s omertà, the well-known code of silence that forbids informing on fellow members. Omertà is a code of silence and refusal to cooperate with legal authorities that forms a central pillar of southern Italian organized crime, enforced by intimidation, fear, and dishonor.

While omertà protects criminal enterprises, the Jewish concept of mesirah (Hebrew for “handing over”) arose from a different historical necessity: protecting Jewish minorities from gentile authorities. Mesirah prohibits Jews from reporting fellow Jews to non-Jewish authorities, creating a parallel system of internal loyalty and silence that has operated within Jewish communities for millennia.

According to traditional Jewish law, mesirah is the forbidden action of one Jew reporting the conduct of another Jew to non-rabbinic authorities in circumstances prohibited by Jewish law. This prohibition extends to both turning over a person and their property. The prohibition covers both the person and the property, a point the Shulchan Aruch makes in Choshen Mishpat 388 when it forbids handing over a fellow Jew “be it his person or his money.” A Jew who violates it is a moser, an informer, and the historical consequences were severe. Medieval Jewish tribunals in Spain sometimes branded informers or, for repeat offenders, put them to death, and in 19th century Russia a moser was occasionally found drowned in a river.

The prohibition of mesirah runs deep in Jewish law, set down in the Babylonian Talmud and sharpened by medieval codifiers.

AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals

AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they’re free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain “all the books in the world.”

My Take

This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email. ISBNdb’s website literally says “‘AI company destroys two million books’ is not a headline that generates sympathy,” and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it “digital preservation.”

I’ve covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it’s irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can’t replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it’s legal. So it’s going to accelerate. “We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out” is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

Part 3 of TPUSA’s fraud playbook: Stacy Sheridan. And spoiler alert, she ranks higher than Bowyer or Kolvet — theleahfiles

Stacy Sheridan is TPUSA’s inside fundraising boss AND she owns the outside firm the charity pays to raise its money. She sits on both sides of the same check. More than $88 million in donations has run through her hands, and her private companies quietly kept ~$5+ million of it. She is the highest-scoring name in this series so far.

Who is Sheridan?

Stacy Sheridan spent two decades as a professional fundraiser at Pepperdine, the Reagan Foundation, and the Gary Sinise Foundation. Turning Point then hired her as its Senior Advancement Director on a salary north of $180,000. Her job was to raise the charity’s money. So she did, into companies she owns.

Three of them, GSM Strategy, then Lionrock Ventures, then Cloverstone Ventures. Each one billed the charity she already worked for. Each one traced back to her only through another state’s corporate records and her own home address, never as the owner of those companies on the tax return itself. As each drew scrutiny, it went dark and the next one appeared. She turned a nonprofit’s donor base into a private revenue stream, made herself almost invisible on paper, and made herself indispensable in person.

Today she sits at the right hand of TPUSA’s new CEO, Erika Kirk, closer to the money than she has ever been.

What she is doing: the four signatures of an inside job

This looks like an insider-controlled fundraiser, a specific and well-documented form of self-dealing. It has four signatures, and Sheridan hits all four.

1. Same hand on both sides: the employee who helps decide who gets hired to raise the money owns the firm that gets hired to raise it. She is the buyer and the seller of the same service, sitting on both sides of a table with no one across from her.

2. Custody and control: she does not just get paid, she holds the donations. The money lands in her company’s account first, and she is the one who counts it and reports the number to the IRS and to the people who gave it. The insider who profits is also the one keeping the books.

3. The relay: not one company. Three, in a chain. Each terminated or gone dark the moment it drew a reporter, each reborn in a more sheltered state than the last. The entities keep changing names but the owner never changes.

4. Concealment: the return never says she owns the firm it pays. You only learn that in another state’s records. In Minnesota, Cloverstone, whose sole officer is Sheridan, registered under oath as an independent outside professional fundraiser. Based on the record, it is not.

Canadian Prime Minister Blames U.S. Climate and Energy Policy for Canada Wildfires

It should be noted that Canada clutches its pearls, claiming the USA should send “support” to assist Canada is fighting wildfires instead of blaming them for mismanagement.  However, reciprocity is a big problem.

Most of the firefighting takes place as an outcome of private-public contracts for costs. The Canadian government blocks U.S. companies from fighting fires in Canada because the Canadian government wants to only pay Canadian companies and workers.  U.S. firefighting is not allowed to assist in Canada and get reimbursed.

Conversely, the Canadians quickly want to come to the U.S. to fight fires because the USA reimburses firefighting companies at a higher rate than Canada.  The USA has no federal restrictions on Canadian firefighting assistance.

Canadian firefighting professionals would rather fight forest fires in the USA because they make more money.  There is no incentive for U.S. firefighting professionals to volunteer their time and effort without getting reimbursed; which is the position of Canada.

In essence, come to Canada and fight our fires for free because we will only pay Canadians.  However, also, let our Canadian firefighters come to the USA and make money.  It is a very Canadian argument.

The Judeo-Christian Illusion

How the Roman Empire Transformed the Jesus Movement into an Imperial Religion

In my previous article, “The Forgotten Divide Between the Original Jesus Movement and the Modern Church,” I argued that the simple spiritual movement associated with Jesus of Nazareth gradually evolved into a powerful religious institution. I suggested that the earliest communities of believers were centred on devotion to God, personal transformation, and the fellowship of ordinary believers, whereas later centuries witnessed the emergence of increasingly centralised ecclesiastical structures, doctrinal councils, and institutional authority. I also examined the historical development of the New Testament canon, the diversity of early Christian traditions, the significance of the Greek word ekklesia, and the question of whether Jesus himself ever intended to establish the kind of hierarchical institution that later came to dominate Christendom.

But an even deeper question remains. If the original movement was transformed, what exactly was it transformed into? How did a movement centred on inner spiritual awakening become a religion increasingly associated with institutional authority, sacramental systems, imperial power, and theological doctrines that many historians agree developed only gradually over the centuries?

This article traces that transformation from the earliest Jesus movement through the influence of Paul, the development of sacrificial theology, key doctrines and contested translations, the emergence of ecclesiastical authority, the concept of “Judeo-Christianity,” and the Roman Empire’s adoption and transformation of Christianity. Together, these developments gave rise to the dominant form of Christianity that spread throughout the Roman world and, later, much of the modern world.

Throughout this article I distinguish between the historical question of whether Jesus existed and the separate question of whether the earliest teachings associated with his name differ from the institutional religion that later developed. The latter question remains important regardless of where one stands on the historicity debate.
