No War with Iran! Peace with Persia! 🤝

🇺🇸 Americans should not die in Israel’s wars! If you are truly “America First,” then you will agree! 👍🏾

See my latest piece “No War With Iran (Part 1)”:

@AlexLevin100 2/2 A labor of love. I’m interested in ur response.

P.S. The “be brutally honest” prompt has its limits. It’s an okay tool in the toolbox. But that new tool in light of today’s conversation makes me realize I like human 🧠s more lol. And it’s more fulfilling. I was lazy @ 1st

[Catholic Against Nuclear War @GoinsReport]

@AlexLevin100 Thx for the source. I think some obvious holes on your side:

Even the New Testament (Acts 2) affirms that Jews from all over the diaspora traveled to Jerusalem for the Shalosh Regalim. But that would make the Jerusalem Temple the center. Do your sources said they stayed put? 1/2

[Catholic Against Nuclear War @GoinsReport]

@AlexLevin100 I am very familiar with the destruction of 1st Temple.

What’s the substantial scholarly evidence for continuity across 70AD? This isn’t an “own.” Genuine inquiry

Post-Christ was shorthand because of the character limit. I couldn’t type Post-Second Temple.

You are razor sharp.

[Catholic Against Nuclear War @GoinsReport]

@AlexLevin100 That prompt tweak was helpful. I’ll share later. But from my own brain here.

This is false⬇️. Judaism fundamentally changed after the destruction of the second temple in 70AD.

Catholicism got it start 33AD at latest.

Jews scrambled to redefine their religion post-Christ.

@AlexLevin100 Part 2 of 2 ⬇️⬇️⬇️Bayesian approach fails. The use of Bayesianism as a standard for "truth" assumes that the only valid way to know something is through empirical probability. This is a form of scientism. It dismisses historical & aesthetic truth claims that cannot be quantified.

[Catholic Against Nuclear War @GoinsReport]

@AlexLevin100 Alex, I don’t have a blue checkmark. So here’s a response.

The Bayesian "probability chain" fails because it treats the Torah and the Gospel as separate, independent variables. In reality, they are one organic event: the bud and the flower.

This will be an interesting read. I’d just wonder where Jesus fits in the grand scheme of Judaism.

@DangrfieldNewby So what I’m saying is, we define worship differently.

The communion of the Saints is not the same thing as worship.

If you’re equivocating prayer with worship, then you’re misunderstanding real theology.

[Catholic Against Nuclear War @GoinsReport]

@DangrfieldNewby Not even close. The Mass is the re-presentation of the Sacrifice of Calvary, directed exclusively toward the Blessed Trinity, with Christ as both the Priest and the Victim. The Liturgy of the Eucharist is not offered to Mary, the saints, or angels; it is offered to God alone.

@BenSwann_ Good job Ben! Still at it!

THIS IS HOW ISRAEL WEAPONIZED OCTOBER 7 PROPAGANDA FOR GENOCIDE AND REGIONAL WAR

After the October 7 Hamas attacks, images of burned cars, destroyed homes, and mass death shaped the global response. Israel used those images to justify its military campaign in Gaza, a campaign that has resulted in mass genocide.

But what if the devastation the world saw did not come solely from Hamas’s surprise attack? What if it also served Israel's propaganda campaign?

Israeli leaders and intelligence agencies had advance warning of the attack, yet the military received a stand-down order. The result was catastrophic: citizens and visitors were killed, kidnapped, and taken hostage.

Was October 7 a mass Hannibal event? The evidence raises disturbing questions about what Israeli authorities knew, what orders were given, and how the tragedy was used to justify the war that followed.

The corruption in the second term of the Trump presidency -- profiteering off public power to enrich not just himself but his kids and their spouses with billions of new wealth -- is unlike anything seen before by any American president in scope or shamelessness.

My priest turns down penitents who ask for more penance in the confessional (he admitted this in a homily).

Why?

Because you have to trust God that the penance is enough.

One may, however, elect more penance, but he will not subscribe more.

You gotta trust in God’s grace

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Zionists ratio’ed this post to emphasize their belief that all Palestinians are collectively culpable, that there are no innocents in Gaza, and that a badly botched hostage rescue that left 1000+ dead and wounded was heroic

Another document of their death cult mentality

[Ana Kasparian @AnaKasparian]

3,600 tons of explosives were dropped onto Dresden...

The Israelis dropped 223,000 tons onto Gaza and the bombings continue on tent encampments today.

This hog thinks he's making a good argument.

[Edward Feser @FeserEdward]

Blurring the difference between the human intellect and AI is a central part of the transhumanist worldview critiqued in Paul Kingsnorth’s Against the Machine and @hemingquay's The Transhumanist Temptation, which I review in the Claremont Review of Books: https://t.co/lpylLQXNxr

Power selects for a specific personality type, and it is not yours.

F.A. Hayek spelled this out in 1944. In a centrally planned system, the people who rise are not the most competent or the most honest. They are the most willing to exercise force against strangers, the most comfortable with contradiction, and the most skilled at coalition-building through favors rather than merit. Government filters for the bad ones from the start.

The mechanism is straightforward. Political power means controlling resources you did not earn. Capturing that control requires outcompeting rivals who have no ethical constraints. A principled candidate refuses to promise contradictory things to different voter blocs. An unprincipled one does it without blinking. The unprincipled one wins. Repeat this selection pressure across hundreds of electoral cycles and you get the U.S. Congress in 2026: a body where the average member has held office for over a decade, raised millions from interested parties, and delivered almost nothing measurable to the people who voted for them.

Bureaucracy compounds the problem. Once entrenched, state agencies attract people who want authority without accountability. You cannot fire most of them. The FDA, the TSA, the Federal Reserve all function this way, staffed by individuals whose career advancement depends on expanding the agency's reach, never on serving you efficiently.

Another Jewish Ponzi scheme. Just like Bernie Madoff.

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.

At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.

It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.
