Some Stuff I Think You Might Like #6
A regular round-up of all the best articles, videos, and podcasts that probably didn’t make your newsfeed.
I hope regular readers of Midnight at the Matinee will forgive me forgoing the kind of anecdote, update, or observation that usually kick off these weekly(ish) round-ups. You see, by writing this entry, I am taking a break from a rather more ambitious project which, under the working title of Klaus Schwab and the Men Who Molded Him, is demanding just about all the time and creative stamina I can muster. Although envisaged in six installments, this idea has the potential to spiral into something much longer, and so if you’re just stopping by my substack and think that sounds like something you’d enjoy, you can always click the subscribe button at the bottom of this article and I’ll send part one straight to your inbox, no fuss, no muss. Alternatively, if you’ve already signed up to my newsletter and suspect someone you know might also like what I do, I’d appreciate if you’d consider jeopardizing your relationship with that person by sending one or two of my other articles their way. Seriously, it helps out way more than you could imagine.
The first part in the Schwab series should be good-to-go shortly. However, in the meantime, here’s a load of great stuff I’ve stumbled across this week, all by other independent content creators:
1. The Truth About January 6th
In many respects, this is less the story of January 6th - that earth-shattering non-event which continues to ring in infamy - as it is the story of Jake Lang, a 27-year-old political prisoner still rotting away in solitary confinement for his role in events of that day. It is through his eyes which filmmakers describe how he and other Trump supporters were lured in the Capitol, before being brutalized and even murdered by heavily-armed, heavier-handed police. Every second of this movie will enrage you. It damned well should. Taken in conjunction with 2000 Mules, it begins to give an idea of the organization, manpower, and raw criminality required to illegally install Biden in the White House and as such, is every bit as essential viewing.
I’ve included the trailer above, but the full movie can be seen here, here, and here.
2. Oligarchism, the Bilderberg Group and Humanity - Garland Nixon and Matt Ehert
Matt Ehret is the political nerd’s political nerd. His knowledge of how power has flowed over the last century is colossal, not just in terms of terms of presidents and prime ministers, but rather how these frontmen reveal the motivations of the real powers behind the curtain - groups like the Club of Rome, the Fabian Society, as well as the latest iteration of this elitist rot - The World Economic Forum.
His conversation with Garland Nixon is characteristically expansive, joining all kinds of apparently disparate dots, and one whole-heartedly recommended if you’ve got a lengthy drive coming up. As always, I’ve included the Youtube link because it is the only platform that will embed, but I’m sure I don’t need to explain why you should really should catch it on Bitchute, Rumble, and Soundcloud.
3. On Ukraine, 'progressive' proxy warriors spell disaster - Aaron Maté
I did not originally intend to include Aaron Maté’s work this week, primarily because I’ve done so a lot recently, and with good reason - his coverage of the conflict in Ukraine is among the best there is going. Nevertheless, in light of revelations that the British media establishment is gunning after the Grayzone journalist, as well as several others on the anti-war left, it seems as good a time as any to check out his latest piece: a critique of the abject hypocrisy exhibited by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and other such fair-weather pacifists in their recent greenlighting of Congress’s $40 billion payday to the military-industrial complex.
Duss (Matt Duss, an aid to Bernie Sanders) is free to argue that Russia's terms for ending the war are unacceptable. But to pretend that Russia has not even laid out those terms, is to essentially advocate that the war never end.
By omitting Russia's stated terms for a settlement, Duss also allows himself to erase one of the invasion's key causes: the 2014 Maidan coup, and the ensuing eight-year Donbas war that had left more than 14,000 people dead by the time Russian forces crossed the border on February 24th.
4. The Crusader Gal - Sarah Cain
One of the things I try to do for my subscribers, is to shout out other creators whose work I think in some way mirrors my own.
In this regard, Sarah Cain is a bit of a stretch. Certainly, you’re not going to find any articles like this on her site - decorum, she acknowledges, is one of the defining features of her material. However, as a fellow-Brit-turned-immigrant-to-America, I frequently find myself nodding at many of her observations about the progressive psychosis currently engulfing our adoptive homeland. She is obviously super-talented and produces in a variety of mediums - podcast, videos, as well as her own occasionally updated substack, during all of which she remains relentlessly and eloquently on-point.
5. Francis, a Pope of the Poor? A Pope for the Environment? Or a Pope for the Global Elite? - Matt Smyth
Many readers will no doubt be familiar with several videos which have been circulating of late in which Klaus Schwab can be heard discussing, or often outright boasting, that he has holds sway over powerful figures in everything from politics, entertainment, business, and indeed religion.
It hardly needs repeating that Pope Francis is one such figure. This, after all, is a pope who devotes an inordinate amount of time to matters such as the environment and social justice. So too does he concern himself with the health of globalist institutions and of course, the notoriously volatile feelings of Muslims. He is, according to a viciously secular MSM, a humanitarian pope - the good kind apparently; Matt Smyth, Religious Studies professor at the University of Strasbourg, detailing how, to those who understand the inner workings of the Vatican, Francis is but another agent of a nebulous New World Order agenda.
In his interview book Oltre la tempesta, Francis, along with MSM and politicians, tells the public to ‘Believe in science.’ The Successor of Peter sets his faith and hope in the triumphant announcements of Pfizer or Moderna, just as his predecessors would have done with the articles of the Christian Creed: “We need to regain our hope and faith in science today: thanks to the vaccine, we shall slowly find back our way to the light”. We cannot, even for a second, presume that he chose this wording ‘faith and hope’ by accident. Out of the mouth of a pope, such words can only refer to the first two Christian virtues known as the theological virtues.
6. Social Credit is coming and it’s all part of The Great Reset plan - Dr. Vernon Coleman
If you are sufficiently awake to MSM trickery, then you will no doubt have noticed the subtle but oh-so-predictable narrative shift from “haha, no, it’s not a social credit system, you conspiracy nut” to “it’s still not a social credit system, but if it were, would it really be so bad?”
The answer, from any sane individual, is ‘yes, obviously.’ It is this point which the eminently sane Vernon Coleman endeavors to stress during his latest monologue, illustrating how a social credit system is designed, right from its conception, to constrict the life out of a population, sapping a culture of its vitality, humanity, and soul. This technocratic waking death is already well established in in China, and yet, even with such forewarning, many westerners remain blithely oblivious to the reality that this system is simultaneously tightening its grip around them.
7. Some Shameless Self-Promotion
Whenever I first published this article earlier in the week, several readers were kind enough to alert me to a few weird formatting issues going on; problems which have been rectified, even if I’m still oblivious to the underlying cause. Anyway, if you did happen to be a recipient of this garbled email, you can still find a link to the amended version below - one subscriber assuring me that it was enough to make his feminist sister-in-law literally retch with indignation.
Rest assured, I am not trying to absolve leftist women of anything. If you’re bone-headed enough to still be tuning into CNN, The View, or God forbid, that asshat Jimmy Kimmel, then frankly, there’s only so much sympathy anyone can have. Nevertheless, I must admit that I am often struck by how many there are on the saner side of the gender debate – those of us who not only recognize the differences between men and women, but who actively celebrate them – who seem reluctant to acknowledge these differences when it comes to our ideological opponents. I mean, we wouldn’t expect a women to be able to lift the same weight as a man, let alone beat one in a fight, and neither, I contend, should we expect them to put up with the same level of emotional pressure - a pressure which has never been more invasive, sophisticated, ubiquitous, or catered to their sex’s particular frailties.
