This classic essay originally appeared on WND.com in December 2016. As poets are wont to do, Johnny Cash led a prophet’s life for his time. His performance art and accompanying dusty, rumbling lyrics dared to look into the soul of America’s violence-haunted heart with equal parts affection and anger. When I speak of the state’s “sacred violence” […]
“One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people—I categorize them as life’s losers—who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something […]
The state is a religious space with its own soteriology and eschatology.

In this second entry of the THINGS HIDDEN film series, David Gornoski, the host of A Neighbor’s Choice, dines with geopolitical analyst Sir Owen Whitman for a fascinating conversation into the violent nature of human beings. The two start by discussing the satanic system of war profiteering built into government. David and Sir Owen then […]
David Gornoski opens the show with an explanation of why statecraft is a continuation of archaic religion and ancient sacrificial rituals. Our politics is a reflection of our cross-haunted culture’s desperation to cling to human sacrifice. Why is Donald Trump the single most visceral attack on statism in our times? How has Jesus infected our […]
“Welcome to the wild west of the media.” David Gornoski starts the show by urging an alliance with honest progressives to battle the neoliberal establishment and corporate fascists who are running our country into the ground. David cautions us not to take the words of the corporate press at face value while pointing out their […]
David Gornoski starts the hour by commenting on the news reports that say China might sell off all US bonds. Should we be alarmed at our government’s insistence to stimulate and regulate the economy? We should separate money and state, David says. The host of A Neighbor’s Choice also takes us through the origins of […]
