Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda (eBook)
.
“A vital book for understanding the still-unfolding nightmare of nationalism and racism in the twenty-first century.”
— Francisco Cantú, author of The Line Becomes a River
Goebbels was nice. Stephen Miller, speechwriter
Stephen Miller
was one of the most influential advisors in the White House. He crafted D Trump’s speeches, designed immigration policies that banned Muslims and separated families, and outlasted such Trump stalwarts as Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions. But he has remained an enigma. Until now.
Emmy- and PEN-winning investigative journalist and author Jean Guerrero charts the 34-year-old’s astonishing rise to power, drawing from more than 100 interviews with his family, friends, adversaries, and government officials.

After being radicalized as a teenager and attending Duke University, Miller served Tea Party Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and nativist Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions.

Recruited to Trump’s campaign, Miller met his idol. Having dreamed of Trump’s presidency before he even announced his decision to run, Miller became his senior policy advisor and speechwriter.


Together, they stoked dystopian fears about the Democrats, “Deep State,” and “American Carnage,” painting migrants and their supporters as an existential threat to America.

While Trump railed against illegal immigration, Miller crusaded against legal immigration. He targeted refugees, asylum seekers and their children, engineering an ethical crisis for a nation that once saw itself as the conscience of the world.

Miller rallied support for this agenda, even as federal judges tried to stop it, by courting the white rage that found violent expression in tragedies from El Paso to Charlottesville.

Bush Barbie, Joe Rogan nail Katy Perry


What the top of Mt. Stupid looks like – Blue Origin’s “astroNOTS” with Katy Perry
(Derek Van Schaik) April 17, 2025: This is not feminism, nor is it progress; this is like pink washing ("greenwashing," a kind of whitewashing or "hogwash" to appear green, in this case to appear pro-female). The world’s most qualified asstronauts in human history recently made a trip up to "space" in a dildonic Blue Origin thruster to do very important scientific research to further humanity.


Okay, maybe kids who graduate from Space Camp are more justified in calling themselves "astronauts" or "scientific researchers" than these blue suited ladies. Well, at least these “astronauts” were professional enough to maintain their composure on their way down to Earth ten minutes later.

Okay, fine, this was a just a billionaire’s version of a 10-minute carnival ride. Yes, the entire trip takeoff to landing lasted just 10 minutes and 22 seconds. And the only "training" they received was how to buckle and unbuckle their seatbelts — so calling themselves astronauts seems inaccurate and unfair to real astronauts.


What’s the saying? Chopping down one tree doesn’t make you a lumberjack — or was that, "Guns don't kill people...it’s mostly the bullets." These sayings are usually used in a different context, but the principle still holds: a single brief experience doesn’t make one a pro. What was most ridiculous thing about this stinking B.O. joyride? Let everyone know in the comments below.

Foolish beauty vs. Hamas spokesman (video)

Hamas Spokesman Basem Naim, Laura Jayes, Sky News Australia, 11/23/23; Ashley Wells, Sheldon S., Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly COMMENTARY

Sky News host blasts foolishly Hamas leader for ‘completely untrue’ claims in ignorant clash
(Sky News Australia) Sky News Host Laura Jayes has blasted Hamas’s Head of International Relations Basem Naim over the political group’s alleged treatment of [complicit] civilians and its attempt to say that it was reacting to Israel's years of oppression for the October 7 reaction.

Ms. Jayes called out the Hamas leader for putting civilians’ lives at risk by building tunnels and a command-and-control center under Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, when by Israel's own admission it has so far utterly failed to show after seizing and shutting down the hospital to search it.

The pair broke out in an argument after Mr. Naim pointed out that the Sky News host was “misinformed” as he claimed that the IDF has produced no proof of a hospital command center.
  • [The ludicrous and incomprehensible presentation of Israeli/IDF propaganda that Hamas was keeping a few guns next to an MRI machine, when one cannot so much as wear a ring near one because of the powerful magnets' effect on metal, to saying nothing of guns and ammunition would be disastrous and, if present, would not be tantamount to a maze of sophisticated tunnels or a command-and-control center as Israel has repeatedly claimed to the world and even produced a debunked animated fiction of what this "Hamas Headquarters" must look like.]
“There is (sic) Western journalists who have gone into Gaza with the IDF, and they have seen these tunnels, these weapons, these storage of munitions with their own eyes,” Ms. Jayes tries to argue.

“I don’t know what other proof we can get.”

The Hamas spokesman went on to claim that the IDF was responsible for the deaths of many Israeli and Palestinian civilians on October 7, citing the Israeli press as the factual basis for his assertions.

“That is completely untrue,” Ms. Jayes ignorantly tried to argue, not bothering to check the Israeli press Mr. Naim was citing.

[When a person being interviewed by the Western media is sitting with a biased and uninformed interviewer, what should he do? He can only present the facts and hope she and her staff will go have a look and apologize for their errors. But that Sky News should apologize or present fair and unbiased news, sadly, that is not to be expected. They are here to promote and cover for Israel, not present news.]

Commentary
Are you giving enough to support the genocide and our dream of our own colonial homeland?
.
We're nearly there. The end is in sight.
Hamas Spokesman Basem Naim, head of international relations, reads the Israeli news to very attractive uninformed Sky News mouthpiece. Rather than read the translated Hebrew news out of Israel (from Haaretz, etc.), she foolishly calls Naim's facts something approaching "conspiracy theories." Yes, Israel (through its militant arm the IDF) killed Israelis, not "by accident" but in keeping with Israel's "Hannibal Doctrine," which states that an Israeli citizen or soldier is better to the state by being dead rather than taken captive and exchanged for Palestinian hostages and political prisoners taken and held, sometimes indefinitely and without being charged with anything by the apartheid Israeli legal system, by Israel in contradiction to international law. It is difficult to believe a Muslim man who looks more like former PLO leader Arafat than a spokesperson when he is being contradicted by a polished beauty queen with a charming accent wearing a shimmering Christian cross in her ear, but he is correct and she is in error and has not kept up with the facts on the ground. What Mr. Naim is saying is demonstrably true: this is what the Israeli press has concluded, not what Mr. Naim is merely claiming to be the case. He is tolerant of her ignorance, but she is not willing to accept a word of his facts by going to factcheck him, relying only on the pro-Israel bias of Israeli papers and Australian and U.S. mainstream coverage of those papers. There really is a Hannibal Doctrine that the IDF is following. Moreover, the IDF's cowardice on Oct. 7th was evident when they arrived late to the battle and simply began to shoot and bomb anything and anyone, including Israelis, that moved. Fact. It's sad that that's what "the most moral army in the world" would choose to do, behave like state-sponsored terrorists, but that's what it did. Then it went further to prosecute a genocide in a blatant act of revenge. It has not hidden this fact but rather has bragged about it and attempted to justify it with atrocity propaganda, well-groomed spokespeople like Lt. Col. "John Con," and doctored audio and video creations. The purpose? To have the world debate these things while it pursues an agenda of ethnically cleansing Gaza, bombing refugee camps with American funding and weapons, and continuing to illegally occupy the West Bank.

Jesus in India, Pt. 4: Lost Gospels, Tantra


Jesus in India: Lost Gospels and Tantric Secrets
(Paul Wallis, Australia, July 8, 2022) What connects Christianity with Tantric Buddhism? Do the Gnostic Gospels and tantric secrets hold a key to the story of the "resurrection" of Jesus? When we apply form analysis, source analysis, and etymology to the stories of the Bible, layers of hidden story emerge. It's true of the Elohim (gods) stories in the Hebrew scriptures, and it's true of Jesus (Saint Issa) in the New Testament.

In Part 4 of this Jesus in India series the idea is explored further with some personal reflections on the implications.

Ricardo Francis Zayas(Ricardo Francis Zayas, pinned by Paul Wallis, 7/23/22) If the Pali canon was not written down until the 1st century B.C.E., how could the Mahaparanibbana Sutta ("The Great Final-Nirvana Discourse") be disseminated to locations in the Middle East and Europe of the 1st century AD? Did the sutra make its way to the Middle East via oral tradition or writing?

Science: Secret to Popularity discovered

Ellie Zolfagharifard (dailymail.com, 4/15/15); Crystal Q., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
It's not about wearing the latest fashions but about having enough empathy to "read minds."
.
There are Four Bases of Popularity
The secret of the popular kids: Researchers find "mind reading" abilities make children more likeable. The research looked at 20 separate studies involving 2,096 children.

Empathy [feeling others' feelings with them, what the Buddha referred to as mudita, "empathetic joy," "happiness in others' happiness"] was the common factor in making and maintaining friendships. This is especially true for girls, whose friendships usually involve more intimacy.

"Wipe your butt, Stinky." (The Rut)
It's not about wearing the latest fashion or being on the football team; the secret to being popular at school is "mind reading." This is according to an Australian study that found popular children are better at knowing what others want, think, and feel.

The same goes for pre-schoolers and young adults, suggesting that empathy is one of the most important skills for becoming part of the "cool crowd."

"Our study suggests that understanding others' mental perspectives may facilitate the kind of interactions that help children become or remain popular," said Virginia Slaughter, professor of psychology at the University of Queensland.
The ability to find out what other people are thinking and feeling is called "theory of the mind" and helps people distinguish, for instance, between sarcasm and insult.

While individual studies have shown an association with popularity in the past, this research looked across the findings of 20 different studies.

Together, the studies included 2,096 children from 2 to 10 years old from Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. More

Australia's Sasquatch the "Yowie" sighted

Tim Binnall (coasttocoastam.com); Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Why was an entity around Yowies?
A woman in Australia says her family was tormented by Yowies (Australian version of Sasquatch) after they moved into their new rental and that, at one point, she saw a mysterious entity lurking alongside the creatures.

Jackie Liversidge recalled the 2016 experience for the first time in a report to the Australian Yowie Research organization. According to her it all began when they rented a cottage in the town of Tarzali, Queensland and immediately felt like something was wrong.

The first sign of strangeness, according to Liversidge, was when something began throwing pebbles onto the roof of the home. Shortly thereafter, her son was outside at night and heard "a very loud demonic animal growl."

The family spent the next few months in a state of high alert as they felt they were being watched by an unseen observer (an eerie entity or another Yowie) and often heard the sound of something sizeable moving around outside the home.

Liversidge's tale culminates with a jaw-dropping sighting of the creatures. She was outside at night when she heard "someone walking." She turned a flashlight at the noise and was astonished to see a humanoid creature that she described as "pitch black, hairy, and the size of a chimpanzee."

Before Liversidge could process what she was seeing, she realized there were "two other sets of glowing eyes" looking at her family. She realized the mysterious creature was not alone.

Based on the height of the glowing eyes, she said, it appeared the creature's companions were considerably larger than it was, and she surmised that it was probably a family of Yowies.

Liversidge managed to get a long, clear look at the trio and observed that they "walked with big, long strides," seemed to have arms longer than a human's, and sharp, black nails. More

Princess Diana reborn in Australia

Mirror.co.uk; Tim Binnall (C2C/FB); Seth Auberon, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

A TV personality in Australia says that his 4-year-old son has made a number of inexplicable and eerie statements that suggest that he was England's Princess Diana in a past life.

The bizarre revelation reportedly came by way of a magazine article written by the boy's bewildered father, David Campbell. He explained that the strangeness began two years ago when the youngster first pointed to a picture of Diana and declared, "Look, it's me when I was a princess!"

According to Mr. Campbell, the boy continued to make spooky comments about what appears to be his past life, such as saying that he had two boys whom he called his "sons."

While the confounded dad initially dismissed these statements as fanciful talk from his toddler, he really took notice when they began to become more detailed. In particular, Mr. Campbell says that his son was able to name a site in Scotland where Diana frequently stayed and can describe the interior of the residence known as Balmoral.

Chillingly, the child has even allegedly made mention of Diana's tragic death saying, "One day the sirens came, and I wasn't a princess anymore." For his part, Mr. Campbell claims that he is mystified by what his son has been saying and can come up with no logical explanation for how the boy knows so much about Princess Diana, given that the youngster had never been told about her.

That said, skeptics will undoubtedly say that the boy's statements were either somehow informed from an outside source or, failing that, his father fabricated the entire tale. More

Reincarnation (rebirth) of the princess
Courtney Pochin (Mirror.co.uk, July 15, 2019)
Four-year-old's chilling claim that he's "the reincarnation of Princess Diana"
.
This is not Billy Campbell, 4, but close enough.
A dad has sent shivers running down people's spines after confessing the bizarre comments his son made about the late Princess Diana.

Kids say the funniest things, but for the last two years one young boy has been telling his parents something rather unsettling.

According to Australian TV presenter David Campbell, his 4-year-old son, Billy, thinks he is the reincarnation of the late Princess Diana -- and he claims to remember details from her life.

The 45-year-old parent-of-three recounted the chilling tale in a column for Stellar Magazine, which he described as the "weirdest" thing he'd ever written.

He begins by saying that his youngest son first started talking about the famous royal at the age of just two, with the toddler pointing to an image of her on a card and exclaiming, "Look, it's me when I was a princess." More

White People in Australia (audio)

Peter Carey, Tom Power "Q" (cbc.ca); Pat Macpherson, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
 
Two-time Booker Prize-winner Peter Carey talks about his new novel and how he's confronting Australia's white Christian colonial legacy as a white author. Like the USA, Canada, and parts of South America, Australia was created on the backs and mass murder of the Aboriginal people by European invaders. The conquest of the original inhabitants and the ongoing colonialism has led to a great deal of cognitive dissonance, rationalization, and amnesia by whites. More + AUDIO
