Red Scare Rising (Conspirituality podcast)

Back in the fall, Trump's NSPM-7 redirected the FBI, DOJ, and IRS toward "left-wing political violence," opening the door to labeling domestic groups terrorist organizations — despite three independent datasets (New America, CSIS, even the ADL!) showing right-wing violence outpacing left-wing violence by factors of 9-to-1 or greater. Last week, Rubio's "Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism" internationalized this McCarthy reboot.

Central to the rhetoric of Rubio and Miller is framing leftist politics as being driven by envy and resentment rather than a response to inequality. Matthew traces this rhetoric, empirically contradicted by relative deprivation research, back through Nietzsche, Scheler, Schoeck, and Rand.

Four days after the Ministerial, the State Department's Cuba report named 70+ Americans — from spies to wedding guests — as one undifferentiated network, a scapegoat machine now churning out congressional subpoenas, a federal grand jury, and a widening dragnet.

Trump climbs down on Iran strikes in expectation of ‘rapidly’ reaching a deal

“For years, Donald Trump and Republicans have blocked efforts to raise the federal minimum wage while handing tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations,” Newsom said…

“California has chosen a different path – one that rewards work, grows the economy and puts working families first. We believe if you work hard, you deserve a decent paycheck. They think $7.25 an hour is enough. We don’t,” Newsom said…

Capital One says it closed Trump Organization’s accounts after anti-money-laundering review

Capital One Financial hit back on Friday against a lawsuit over its ⁠decision to close the Trump ⁠Organization’s bank accounts years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money-laundering experts.

The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money-laundering concerns to Donald Trump’s family business. Capital One is seeking to dismiss the case by casting doubt on claims of illegally debanking – or denying services on religious or political grounds – the Trump Organization...

Democrats face most contentious – and crucial – test yet with Michigan primary

More than $40m has poured into the race from outside groups supporting Stevens or attacking El-Sayed, including from groups associated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac), a pro-Israel lobby. AdImpact shows more than $60m in ad reservations and spending to benefit Stevens.

Misleading ads have attacked El-Sayed for “disrespecting women” while tying Stevens to Barack Obama, who has not endorsed in the race, but previously praised Stevens’ work on the auto industry rescue plan. The Obama connection sits prominently in the minds of some Black voters in Michigan, who cite Stevens’ work with the former US president as key to their vote in the primary...

US officials focus on identification and rapid action as measles cases rise

Attitudes toward vaccines have changed in a couple of different ways, he said. The idea of a link between autism and vaccination, now disproved by multiple studies, proved to be “horrible misinformation” that “created a lot of confusion for people”, Rosenbaum said. Some parents also began trying to create their own vaccination schedule out of the belief that children receive too many vaccines – a view frequently espoused by Donald Trump...

LIVE DEBATE [Jesus NEVER existed!] 4-23-2026 (w/ @christbeforejesus ) (Justin at DZ Debates on YouTube)

Guest host Jaaron has recently co-authored Christ Before Jesus: Evidence for the Second-Century Origins of Jesus -- a book on the question of whether or not the Jesus of the Gospels ever actually existed, whether Paul actually existed, and new evidence for much later writing of all four gospels than we have been taught to believe. He takes questions from the audience. (Click the above link on the book title for a detailed description of the book and/or to purchase a copy.)
