    This is certainly one of my favorite interviews. Dr. Beebe was rocked in the cradle to be President of Westmont College and preserve the classical tradition of the small Liberal Arts College in modern America.

A Rockefeller Lost to Cannibals?

Mark McIntire Film Review: The Search for Michael Rockefeller What happens when you craft a film about a rich and sensitive young lad from an iconic American political family who disappears from the planet and it’s likely he was stabbed, beheaded and then ritually eaten by cannibals in 1968?  Better still, unlike any vampire flick, this one is true? Netflix just released such a documentary film, The Search for Michael Rockefeller, a Fraser C. Heston film from his independent studio Agamemnon Films. If you’re a fan of real unsolved mysteries as I am, then ROCKEFELLER is for you. I’ve watched it three times on NETFLIX and still cannot make up my mind about what actually happened to former Vice-President and Governor Nelson Rockefeller’s youngest boy, Michael. Heston’s film doesn’t solve the mystery. It meticulously and cleverly narrates the mystery letting you be the judge of the evidence. ROCKEFELLER is a powerful mystery with riveting twists and a dazzling WTF ending.

The Last Pope Is The Next Pope

What's next after the massive systemic cover-up of clerical pedophilia by the Catholic hierarchy? The next Geo-political earthquake is the unavoidable abolition of the Papacy itself. The Roman Catholic Church created the Papacy, and the Roman Catholic Church can abolish it. And, it will. Soon. The next Pope after octogenarian Francis I will be the last Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Moreover, the word ‘Roman’ will be dropped from the brand name. Clerical offices of Cardinal, Archbishop and Bishop will also be extinguished. Local parish laity will choose their clerics who will be immediately accountable to them. Clerical pedophilia will soon have no place to hide. That last Pope will be from Africa. His name is Robert Cardinal Sarah of Guinea. Once elected, Cardinal Sarah will take the name ‘Pope Linus II’ after Pope Linus I the very first Pope if you exclude Saint Peter from the calculus of Popes.  There are several sound reasons why this will happen.You may recall my b

Allegory of the Mirror, the Mask, and the Mob

“Wise one, what is the true nature of politicians and the masses?” Sure. Thanks for asking. Imagine if you will a remote planet in a distant galaxy that went extinct long ago. Marginally intelligent beings once lived there for many millennia.  Their many accomplishments were impressive even by our standards. So were their defects. They went extinct long before their planet fell into its life-giving star. Compared to us these beings had crude even barbaric ways. They had ways of killing each other frequently. Some of these ways were called, ''accidents'. Some were called 'murder'. Some were called 'war'. None of these ways were thought to be very healthy, but they did them anyway being a covetous breed. They even had something called ‘execution’ where whole groups decided to kill a single individual being for a wide variety of reasons thought to be healthy for the whole group. They called themselves 'humans'. “It seems these beings were
