There are some good people but the humanities are fully infested with weak little shits who form clubby gangs and kick out anyone more talented or honest than they are.
The atmosphere is intellectually stifling.
Honest, rigorous humanities are among our most important fields of study.
Losing those fields to those losers has been a major national loss. ABN
Ponerological The term “ponerological” relates to the study of evil, derived from the Greek word ponērós, meaning “evil” In its original theological context, ponerology examines the nature, origin, and implications of evil in relation to divine governance, with subdivisions including sin and death The concept was systematized by theologian Karl Immanuel Nitzsch, who included it as a major rubric in his System der christlichen Lehre alongside agathology (the study of good) and soteriology (the study of salvation) In a modern, secular interpretation, the term is used in political ponerology, a framework developed by Polish psychiatrist Andrzej Łobaczewski, which analyzes how individuals with psychopathological conditions—such as psychopathy or other personality disorders—can infiltrate and dominate political and social systems, leading to large-scale inhumanity like war, genocide, and despotism This framework posits that societies undergo cyclical fluctuations between “happy times” and “unhappy times,” during which psychological health deteriorates and pathological individuals gain influence, potentially leading to a pathocracy—a system ruled by the mentally ill The term “ponerological” may thus describe analyses or theories rooted in this interdisciplinary approach to understanding the mechanisms by which evil, particularly in organized forms, emerges and spreads within human systems ↩︎
Erika Kirk has furiously slammed ‘evil’ conspiracy theorists making revolting claims linking Turning Point staff to Charlie Kirk‘s assassination.
The TPUSA CEO, who stepped into the role after her husband’s murder, warned that she would not allow her colleagues to be targeted by online trolls.
Inflammatory claims by provocateurs like Candace Owens have led to threats against TPUSA staff.
Owens, once a friend of Charlie Kirk’s, has told her followers that TPUSA is somehow to blame for his assassination – while carefully avoiding using Erika’s name.
Owens was a prominent TPUSA speaker and director of communications until 2020, when she parted ways amid disagreements.
Since Kirk’s death, she has escalated accusations of internal ‘betrayal’ at TPUSA, challenging the official narrative around the lone shooter and prompting TPUSA to invite her to a public livestream debate.
Erika, who did not name Owens specifically, told Fox News on Wednesday: ‘Come after me, call me names, I don’t care. Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole, whatever.
‘But … when you go after the people that I love and you’re making hundreds of thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this? No.’
I have avoided Erika Kirk’s role in the assassination investigation.
I remember saying only one thing about her, something kind about her words.
I am not going to change my tune except to say Kirk’s assassination belongs to the public now and TPUSA cannot be exempted from analysis because Erika says they are ‘family’.
The larger point is Owens has opened a novel avenue of investigation. She is doing incisive, transparent crowd-sourcing and speculative analysis.
Her work has been way better than the FBI’s.
I hope we see much more of this kind of real-time open discussion of major world events.
Everyone knows the government lies all the time and so does the press. ABN
Last night Candace dropped the most explosive 30 minutes of the entire Charlie Kirk investigation:
A 35-year military whistleblower (Harry Myers—walked into a classified final-planning meeting at Fort Huachuca, Arizona on September 9th, 2025 (the literal day before Charlie was murdered).
Inside that room: 12+ lieutenant colonels (you don’t see that many outside the Pentagon) TPUSA Security Contractor Brian Harpole walking out with a gray-haired “boss”
And the officer who personally interrogated Harry for seven straight hours, accusing him of being a spy and a bomb threat? CAPTAIN NEFF.
Candace begged us: “Help me find out who this Captain Neff is.” We did. In less than 24 hours.
His name is allegedly Captain (possibly newly promoted Lt. Col.) Daniel R. Neff And he is allegedly the first cousin of none other than
@BlakeSNeff —Charlie Kirk’s longtime producer at Turning Point USA.
Here’s the receipt trail (publicly available, no classified leaks):
Commissioned U.S. Army 2007, ROTC Distinguished Graduate (top 7% nationally) out of Misericordia University, Pennsylvania
Pinned 2nd Lieutenant by his parents in a ceremony; saluted by his WWII-veteran uncle
Initial assignment: Aviation branch, Fort Rucker (now Fort Novosel) – helicopter training
Current specialty aligns with Force Protection / base security (exactly the role Harry described)
Age ~37–39 in 2025 → matches Harry’s description: “about 36, brown hair”
Family from the same Pennsylvania/Nazareth corridor as Blake Neff
Visual match to the photos now circulating is damn near identical

Trump lawyer Todd Blanche blocked him from giving evidence to DOJ/FBI
CIA Director Ratcliffe blocked evidence from going to CIA/ODNI
Former DNI Ric Grenell & Ratcliffe told Trump to “ignore election interference” and focus on a Venezuela rare-earth deal instead
Why would they want him looking away?
Because the same Venezuelan regime running Smartmatic also unleashed Tren de Aragua (TDA) a violent transnational criminal organization across the Western Hemisphere during the Biden Regime of Open Borders
The generals admitted it.
TDA isn’t a “gang.”
It’s a militarized intelligence proxy.

The New Apostolic Reformation, aka NAR, is a movement in evangelical churches started by C. Peter Wagner in the late 90s.
NAR is not a denomination and it does not have any set or elected leaders or *official* ideology that defines it.
Rather NAR is a hodgepodge of beliefs, rituals and practices pulled from various traditions within mainstream charismatic and Pentecostal churches.
The core belief posited by Wagner was the Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over all aspects of society.
When this is accomplished, the road will be paved for Christ to return.
NAR is led by apostles believed to have been appointed by God. These apostles are delegated spiritual authority that grants them authority over the entire Church- which is one of the most controversial aspects of NAR.
NAR churches do not advertise that they are NAR. And just because a church adopts one or two NAR ideas, doesn’t mean they adopt them all.
Decentralization has been key to NAR’s rapid growth.
NAR rejects many traditional church teachings around the role of women in the church. Women can become apostles and pastors in NAR churches. The most famous one being Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White-Cain.
The 7 Mountain Mandate has become the most important idea with the NAR movement and the one to gain the most traction.
The 7MM dictates that Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to dominate the 7 most important aspects of society:
This idea was conceived in the 1970s but revived and refined in the 2013 book “Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate” by Lance Wallnou a televangelist and Bill Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church, a megachurch in Northern California.
As far as Charlie goes, these are the NAR names you need to know, in addition to those already listed above:
Rob McCoy: pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks California
Sean Feucht: former worship leader at Bethel church and 2020 Congressional candidate
Jack Hibbs: senior pastor of megachurch Calvary Chapel Chino Hills
David Lane: longtime Republican consultant and activist, member of Rob McCoy’s Godspeak Calvary Chapel

UPDATE: If the informant she talks about in the first part is telling the truth, this has become a huge story.
If the dude is telling the truth, both he and Candace are in real danger.
If he is lying and participating in a psyop, she is still in danger but maybe a little less.
In psyops, a common technique is to push out a plausible but false story that draws the public into a minefield which eventually blows up, discrediting the true conspiracy and those who are researching it.
I am saying this simply to alert readers to this possibility.
This series is still very much worth watching and I plan to continue doing that. ABN
A second Democrat-run state has been hit by accusations of fraud within the Somali community, prompting a vile response from one lawmaker who was quizzed about it by a constituent.
As Minnesota grapples with one of the biggest fraud scandals in US history, a whistleblower in Maine has now stepped forward alleging state taxpayers have been defrauded out of funds meant for social services.
Christopher Bernardini told NewsNation he worked as a ‘billing guru’ for Portland-based Gateway Community Services for seven years until April 2025 – while they were allegedly defrauding Maine’s Medicaid program.
The company’s founder and CEO, Abdullahi Ali, is a Somali-American who ran for president of Jubaland, a state in Somalia, last year while juggling his role as executive director.
He came under fire at the time amid reports from The Maine Wire that he had boasted of funding the militia to ‘help the troops buy weapons, bullets and food’ while he was in America.
The comments sparked concerns about whether any of the $28.8million in payments his LLC received via MaineCare had been misappropriated.
The Daily Mail has contacted Gateway Community Services for comment.
Maine appears to be one of the most corrupt states in USA.
With a population of a mere 1.3 million, billion dollar plus fraud is major crime, with tendrils running throughout the state government.
Vote fraud, woke fraud, payola fraud to friends and relatives, constant lies and coverups — Maine appears to have it all, including a complicit news media who have actually been paid by the Mills administration to supposedly do public outreach or something but in reality have chosen to not report on any of this fraud, and never run a story critical of Maine Dems.
Traditional Maine culture is high-trust, mild-mannered, kind and honorable.
Foreign and political scam artists have exploited it to the max.
The state is in such bad shape only the federal government can save it. There is no political, judicial, legal, or journalistic entity within the state strong enough to fix the state. ABN
This article argues that the human brain saves energy by predicting or imagining “reality” more than actually perceiving it: Do Thrifty Brains Make Better Minds? The article argues that this way of using our brains allows us to work more efficiently with complex data or in complex situations.
I think this general premise is pretty well known and agreed on, but the linked article puts it in a new way. The following sentence caught my eye: This… underlines the surprising extent to which the structure of our expectations (both conscious and non-conscious) may quite literally be determining much of what we see, hear and feel.
The article uses visual perception as an example, but the idea applies just as well, and maybe more so, to what we hear in the speech of others. FIML practice works by inserting a new mental skill between the first arising of a (stored) interpretation and its full-blown acceptance as “reality”.
In the 20-second clip, the asylum seekers are seen standing menacingly on either side of the girl at around 9.21pm, after luring her away from her friends.
Separate footage captured by the victim on her phone was so appalling that one of the boy’s own barristers warned it would lead to rioting if the public were to see it.
The harrowing three-minute clip showed the girl saying ‘you’re going to rape me’, as she was forced away from the area where she had been happily socialising.
The phone clip, which was played at Warwick Crown Court today, also caught the girl weeping, repeatedly crying ‘help’ and begging not to be taken into the park.
The clip features Michael Evans, CEO of Friends of Zion, announcing a partnership with Blackboard to train 100,000 evangelical Christians as pro-Israel ambassadors in their home countries, aimed at defending Israel’s image and fighting antisemitism, which the author labels “disgusting” to critique Christian Zionism.
This initiative builds on evangelical theology viewing Israel as central to biblical prophecy, with FOZ leveraging edtech for scalable online courses; similar programs have trained thousands since 2018, per FOZ reports.
By averaging individual EEG responses to 500 images, researchers were later able to identify individual people with 100% accuracy. The main expected use for this research is biometric identification of people wanting to enter secure spaces.
That this research also has implications for social-psychology is what I am interested in today.
If each of us is unique with unique responses to pretty much everything, how are we able to communicate?
We communicate with each other in cultural terms. That is, we use unifying cultural concepts to provide a sense of agreement. Some might say to manufacture an illusion of agreement.
Culture is a hierarchical group of unifying principles that organizes the minds of its members.
Similarly, what we call the “self” or the “ego” is nothing more than a unifying principle that organizes the mind of the individual.
It should not take too much effort to see that what people think of as their “self” is usually an imported hierarchy that comes from the individual’s understanding of the culture to which they belong.
Individuals tailor their imported “selves” in much the same ways that we decorate our rooms or choose our clothes. There is a good deal of leeway in how you construct yourself, but there are also serious limitations.
This why individuals in one culture differ from individuals in another. If they have commonalities, those are often shared cultural roots or instinctive human behaviors that find expression in all societies.
I believe the above view of culture and the individual’s role in it describes a dangerous trap.
This is so because the resonance between “self” and “culture” is a powerful tautology, based on illusions.
No matter how you change culture, the trap remains the same.
Change in culture means little more than a rearrangement of limited parts that will never come together as an enlightened whole because cultures are always lowest common denominators.
Make culture more “tolerant” and it will gradually be undermined and replaced by those who come into the tent under the new rules.
We see exactly this happening with SJWs whose demands for tolerance have morphed into totalitarian demands for tolerance as they define it.
Do as we say or be fired, ostracized, demonstrated against, beaten-up.
I do not see any way to get out of this problem except the Buddhist way. Renounce culture in most of its guises and as an individual withdraw from its worst bs as much as possible.
Culture, as much as the ego or self, is a fundamental delusion. It is the stuff of the first noble truth and it causes suffering.
As a Buddhist, I understand that culture is necessary for our educations up to a point. And I understand that the self is necessary for healthy individual development up to a point.
But once that point has been reached, I renounce the totalitarianism of culture, the totalitarianism of the self, the totalitarianism of any lowest common denominator anything.
Notice I said totalitarianism of.
I can accept and function in a culture that allows great freedom of thought with few rules. I always gladly obey all the rules in national parks and adore the Bill of Rights, though sadly it is slipping away.
Similarly, I am good with a healthy persona restrained by the five precepts and used as a basis for social intercourse and freedom of thought.
