The Belt and Road; As the West Slumbers, China Advances
Presented by: Stuart Wachowicz
In the short time since the "Belt and Road Initiative" was announced by
President Xi Jinping of China in 2013, it has grown to be home to the
largest piece of economic infrastructure in human history. We examined this
project in a video entitled “One Belt One Road” in 2019 but a great deal has

The Great Deception: What Really Happened at The Dieppe Raid?
Presented by: Stuart Wachowicz
How can a deceptive narrative about an incident come to be deeply believed,
even by those who may have witnessed it or participated in the event? If you
have heard of the largest commando raid of World II, which occurred at
Dieppe, France in 1942, you likely have been deceived. Let me tell you a
story of this heroic event. Despite its success, people have been deceived
to believe the event was a terrible disaster. And that deception goes on.

Will You Just Follow The Crowd?
Presented by: Stephen Jokela
In 1951, a psychologist by the name of Solomon Asch conducted a rather
unnerving experiment. It showed that reason and logic are much less
important factors in human decision making than one might assume. Does the
opinion of the majority equate to fact? On what do we base our beliefs?

The Western World's Disconnect From Reality - The Result of the Russia/Ukraine War
Presented by: Stuart Wachowicz
In February 2022, the Russian army launched an invasion of sections of
Ukraine. This occurred after almost a year of pronouncements, warnings and
menacing maneuvers by the Russians near the Ukrainian border. The warnings
and pleas from Russia for the West to refrain from a NATO-style
militarization of Ukraine went unheeded by some Western nations as well as
by the current government of Ukraine. The presence of a well-armed and
potentially hostile force between them and the Black Sea, which threatens
access to their only warm water ports, had been deemed intolerable by four
centuries of Russian leaders.

The Origins of Halloween

Do you know why people dress up on October 31st and parade around in their
ghost or witch costume? They will undoubtedly answer: well yes, because it's

I meant: do you know where Halloween comes from? Why is it so popular every

Critical Race Theory
Presented by: Javid Khan
In recent years, we have seen protests, riots, and a slew of news headlines
increasing in frequency, focusing on the issue of systemic racism within
different areas of society. The issue of race has been a delicate topic for
many throughout the years and has now become a vessel to push certain
ideologies into Western nations. Why is the issue of race resurfacing now?
Why is race being used as the rallying cry to reshape the hierarchical
structures in our society? Is there more to the story than what we see on
the surface? Let's talk about the motives behind all of this. Let's discuss
Critical Race Theory.

Roe v. Wade; A Settled Decision, An Unsettled Nation

On Friday, June 24, 2022, The United States Supreme Court explicitly

Post-Modernism: Marxism in Disguise
Presented by: Javid Khan
In our previous viewpoint, 'The History of the Marxist Theory', we discussed
the ideologies of Karl Marx that eventually gave rise to the theory of
communism, a flawed theory that supposes society as an economic class
struggle. We concluded that communism and by extension Marxism is an extreme
form of governmental control that, according to historical examples, never
ends well for society. We also established that Marxism and Neo-Marxism live
on today, but how so? How is it still prevalent today? Let's take a close
look at one of these Neo-Marxist philosophies, post-modernism, and reveal
the Marxist narrative in disguise.

The Mental Health Crisis of Our Youth
Presented by: Javid Khan
Salvador Ramos, an 18-year-old in Uvalde Texas, entered Robb Elementary

In fact, the mental health of teenagers in general has been deteriorating in

The Lesson of Louisbourg
Presented by: Stuart Wachowicz
It was 1713 and France had not done well in the treaty ending the War of the
Spanish Succession. The Treaty of Utrecht saw it lose claim to Newfoundland
and much of Acadia. The loss of Newfoundland threatened France with a loss
of control over the waters entering the Gulf of St. Lawrence and thus access
to the inland colonies of New France. Let us look at how Louisbourg in Nova
Scotia played a role during this time.

What Happened to the Davidic Line of Kings?
Presented by: Michael Heykoop
David, the most famous king of Ancient Israel was promised a dynasty that
would live on forever. His son, Solomon, succeeded David and extended the
boundaries of the great nation. However, upon Solomon’s death, the nation
was divided in two. Only two tribes remained loyal to the Davidic line which
continued to rule from Jerusalem for centuries until the great city fell to
the Babylonians in 586 BC. The heir to David’s throne, Zedekiah was taken
captive and his sons were killed before his very eyes. When Zedekiah later
died in captivity it appeared as though this promise had run its course and
the Davidic Dynasty had come to an end.

The Suppression of Males

Diversity, Inclusivity, and Equity Mandates are destroying our Society.

Our world is changing around us. While some think it is ultimately for the

a difference between the two? And, how does gender identity relate to the
original definition of gender? Is it Science? Is it a feeling?

Is France Under Attack?
Presented by: Michael Heykoop
Just before lunch time on January 7, 2015, two
