Zelensky’s hostility to peace triggers White House meltdown

A contentious White House meeting between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has thrown US-Ukrainian relations into disarray. The meeting resulted in Zelensky’s ejection from the White House, the cancellation of a planned minerals agreement, and, according to…

Zelensky’s Behavior in the White House & the West’s Schism

The behavior of Volodymyr Zelensky during his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump is indicative of a growing divide within the collective West, splitting it into two opposing poles: those who seek an end to the Ukrainian conflict and those who wish to prolong it, said Russian philosopher, political scientist, and sociologist Alexander Dugin…

Cosmic Bite: The Mind’s Mirror

Hey, cosmic crew! Ever notice your mind playing the enemy? One minute it’s your ally, lifting you; the next, it’s hissing doubt- not enough, too late. I’ve often stared into that fog, watching it dim my light. But here’s the secret: your mind is the mirror. It reflects what you feed it- truth or illusion…

The Weight of Lead: What Are You Carrying?

Hey, cosmic seekers. Do you remember that fork I laid out for staying or shifting? Let’s focus on the first: staying and choosing Lead. It’s heavy and unrefined, like a stone in your hand, not a feather. I felt its weight myself years ago. I stayed in a pattern that added pressure on my chest, steady yet sinking. Lead isn’t weakness; it’s about what you…

As Elon recently explained at the unveiling of Grok 3.0, the word Grok was coined by Robert Heinlein in his book A Stranger in a Strange Land. Grok means to profoundly understand a concept beyond mere recitation of facts, it is to absorb the context of the idea’s existence, to embody it so physical and emotional sensations are connected to the deeper me…

A Student Called Me a “Dick-rider.” Here’s What I Said

It’s the middle of February, which means at my high school we’re right at the beginning of the Ultimate Frisbee unit. Because Frisbee was my college sport, I naturally get fired up. Over the years my enthusiasm has created a culture around the sport. The games are overly competitive - which I (somewhat) unprofessiona…

Mary Magdalene and the Egyptian Mysteries: A Lost Connection?

For centuries, Mary Magdalene has been viewed primarily through the lens of Judeo-Christian tradition—a devoted follower of Jesus, a repentant sinner, or, in more esoteric circles, the apostle to the apostles. But what if the key to understanding her role and teachings lies not in the conventional biblical narrative, but in Egypt, the land where her gos…

The Tybee Bomb

On the 5th February 1958 an incident occurred in the skies over Georgia in the USA named the ‘Tybee Island Mid-Air Collision’ when two aircraft - an F-86 Fighter jet on a night practice exercise collided with a B-47 bomber. The bomber was carrying a large, 3,400kg (7,600 pound) Mark 15 nuclear bomb measuring 12 feet (3.7m) in length which was jettisoned…

River’s Ramblings

The "Lesser" Evil

Stop choosing “the lesser evil.” Evil is evil. Choosing some “lesser” form of it is rooted in laziness and apathy. Doing the right thing requires courage, will-power, and sacrifice. Most people can’t bother. They want to abdicate their personal responsibility for their freedom and safety to someone else. Anyone who says “yes, I will save you” is never g…

The Overton Window

Knowing what an acceptable argument is might seem like a curious question. It's been a popular topic within a number of political science faculties for some time. Not simply what acceptable viewpoints are but how arguments within political structures shift. That is, if I'm trying to make an argument that might not be acknowledged at the moment, how do I…

Or was a lot of it a smokescreen to cover up JFK’s relationship with Lem Billings…
