I sat with a theologian who is unwilling to be blinded by distractions in his field of expertise. It is beautiful talking with him about such matters. But when he strays off-target, he is easily deceived.
It takes every person time to realize: "If there is fraud and narrative in virtually everything mainstream culture says about my field of expertise, then perhaps that is the case in every other area of life as well."
Again, that realization takes time.
So, right on cue, I witnessed him denounce exactly who he was supposed to denounce. An increasingly diligent campaign to discredit Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens began after Nick Fuentes was interviewed by Carlson on October 27, 2025.
My theologian friend had become part of this campaign with the sentiments he was repeating, sentiments that he had not personally put to the test.
He said the words "Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson," in place of a pejorative. The pejorative could have been "crazy," "hateful," "delusional," "anti-semitic," or others. He simply said, "Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson," in a certain tone that said all he needed me to understand.
I recognized that tone.
I spent time on the 2008 and 2012 Ron Paul campaigns and knew exactly what some people believed had to be done with a person whose views could not be silenced. If they were dangerous to the mainstream, they were made to sound like a pejorative, with a certain tone of voice accompanying the mention of them.
How many times I heard that tone toward Ron Paul.
And within four years, Donald Trump won an election on a similar America first platform to Ron Paul 2008 and 2012.
I learned some things watching Ron Paul:
Thing 1.) misguided people making your name into a pejorative should not discourage, but encourage, for it shows you are likely right;
Thing 2.) the uniformly dismissive tonality that your name is mentioned in by the media should not discourage, but encourage, for it shows you are likely right;
Thing 3.) the chronological distance between being an extreme dissident and having your ideas run the most powerful office in the land is as little as four years, and is constantly shrinking, so just keep speaking the truth until you win or until your ideas win.
As I watched the talented theologian repeat nonsense with the officially-approved pejorative usage of their names, and the official tonality, it occurred to me that not everyone was privy to the last three months of learning that I have been privy to. I have had a front row seat to the work of Candace Owens.
Owens I paid scant attention to until Charlie Kirk was murdered, but once that happened, she got daily attention from me.
And if this brilliant theologian was turning into a well-brainwashed mockingbird of the mockingbird media, I worried that perhaps the beloved readers of these pages might be in a similar predicament.
A Useful Generalization
As the cultural renegades of the internet oft repeat, "Everything is fake and gay." This is an apropos generalization for this situation. This is an apropos phrase for nearly every situation.
The more money there is in convincing someone of fakeness and gayness in a field, the more likely the field has become entirely fake and gay.
And, unfortunately, it is hard to find a field of human inquiry untouched by an extreme amount of fakeness and gayness.
At the heart of this is a concern that helps spread fakeness and gayness to every field touched by money. Because of the inflationary environment in American culture, there is a plentiful supply of money in virtually every field that is available to turn that field more fake and more gay. This is especially true since the 1913 multi-faceted cartelization of the money supply, generally referred to as "The Federal Reserve Bank."
The work of economist Guido Hulsmann, in numerous publications, including his 2007 The Ethics Of Money Production, speaks to the cultural implications of money creation. Hulsmann follows in the footsteps of thinkers such as Carl Menger, Eugen Bohm-Bawerk, Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, Lew Rockwell, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, and others. These thinkers have sought to
- understand reality,
- understand human freedom,
- understand human prosperity,
- follow the money, and
- understand the enemies of freedom and prosperity.
In reading their work, there is no question that human freedom has enemies and that human prosperity has enemies, and whether those enemies act intentionally or whether they act as "useful innocents" - to use the verbiage of Mises and several of his contemporaries - they remain enemies of human freedom and enemies of human prosperity.
Reliably, the money changers, claiming for themselves a government privilege to control the money supply of a people, play a role in that process as an enemy.
Fakeness and gayness will tend to abound where the money changers hold positions of privilege to do their work in a society. And the opposite tends to abound where they are mightily restrained by a monetary system best for human freedom and human prosperity.
Noticing Has Disadvantages, Especially When One Vocally Notices
Candace Owens has stumbled upon an important realization: everything is fake and gay. She has long understood this. She has been practically a lone voice willing to mention that French President Emmanuel Macron was groomed from a young age, has become a central figure in global politics, and remains married to his groomer, who, according to Owens, is not as feminine as she appears.
One would think there would be unified interest, in our #MeToo era, of a world leader being groomed by a pedophile who he remains married to. Instead, Owens has attracting opprobrium, though this vocal noticing of hers over the past year has been good training for what came next:
Charlie Kirk was executed for all the world to see.
And then, the deer-in-the-headlights Director of the FBI, Kash Patel, stood before the world within a few dozen hours, declaring the case solved.
Candace Owens, mourning, and likely doing mommy things the best she could, probably looked up at her television screen and said, "I know fake and gay, and Kash Patel is telling a very fake and very gay story right now."
After the way Owens has spent her last year, she has a well-honed ability to detect the fake and the gay. But she is also a kid who grew up in a tough environment and has the kind of street smarts that lots of Americans used to have until we turned so soft as a society.
Yes, she could look at Patel, the appropriate heir of J. Edgar Hoover, and could see that he was behaving just as fake and just as gay as the heir of J. Edgar Hoover was supposed to behave - which would be very.
Yes, very fake and very gay, as the successor of the man who loved to dress himself up in drag and to be called "Mary," at social functions, as Whitney Webb mentions in her One Nation Under Blackmail.
Such a use of the name Mary in that era is likely to be an intentional affront to the Blessed Mother of Our Lord. Those are the roots of the FBI. Those are the footsteps Kash Patel unfortunately follows in - very fake and very gay.
So, before anyone gets after Candace Owens for seeing through that, and vocally noticing how similar the Patel FBI is to the Hoover FBI (both fake and gay), how similar the official Trump-shooting patsy story is to the official Kirk-shooting patsy story (both fake and gay), how similar the official 9/11 story is to the official USS Liberty story (both fake and gay), before anyone gets after Owens for saying things that she sees...
How about you get after yourself and wonder why you don't see things more clearly ? How about you get after yourself for why you do not speak things more bravely?
We probably each have room for improvement.
There are things I am not particularly impressed by about Candace Owens. And that is all the more reason I like her.
An imperfect spokesperson is coming to every American and begging him to wake up. An imperfect spokesperson is coming to every freedom-lover on the planet and begging him to wake up. To watch her is a consistent master class in how to be imperfect and not letting that stop one from being tenacious. That is such an important combination.
One reason that is important, is that the lie of modern politics is that you must be perfect. If you are not insistent on being perfect, then the blackmail that has long run America cannot work. So few people will touch politics for that reason.
The imperfect Owens is spending some time each day in that fight, not only pointing to the murderers of her friend Charlie Kirk, but dismantling the whole artifice that blinds so many.
She is de-fakifying America, and de-gayifying America, by simply inviting Americans to see the world around them without the facades of fakeness and gayness.
She is talking about Charlie Kirk.
But she is threatening an entire system that has long enslaved so many.
The facts of the Charlie Kirk murder that she is revealing are important. And I could relate the bullet point facts of the first three months of her investigation to you in fewer than three pages. But I won't. Because those facts are not the important part. The important part is the work she is showing. Through both the victories and losses, she is showing a person how to stop falling for what is fake and what is gay.
I recommend you be someone watching Candace Owens right now, rather than one of the many people opining on Candace Owens right now.
I do not recommend you start by watching her latest broadcast. That will do you little good. You can get the facts more quickly from an ex-Twitter search. I recommend you go back to September 10, 2025, the day Charlie Kirk was murdered, and to watch her live shows from the beginning.
Do that, and you will not be able to see the world the same way again.
Do not opine about her.
Just sit back and watch.
Watch her in all of her imperfection and learn what it means to be loyal and brave in an entirely new way than most of us are used to.
She could be silent right now.
She is not.
She was not the world's most watched podcaster three months ago.
Today she is.
She is giving the people something they desperately want: part of that is the truth of what happened to Charlie Kirk.
But there is something even more important happening. It is a daily conversation on how to stop being so absorbed in the demonic distraction that the world wants you in when you fall for all the fakeness and when you fall for all the gayness.
Is Candace Owens perfect ? No. No human is.
Candace Owens is showing what it looks like for an imperfect human to share with other imperfect humans how to walk each day divorced from all the fakeness and all the gayness.
She is doing that perfectly.
And dear reader, I hope that you are going back and watching every live moment of her doing that.
How edifying, I believe, that will be for even the most sophisticated person reading this.
And perhaps the most important part of that will be seeing how the rest of the world reacts to what she is doing.
Do not opine, please.
Just watch.
Watch it all.
Watch what loyalty and courage look like from a friend who is doing her best to look past the fakeness and to look past the gayness and to just understand what is happening in the world around her.
I believe you will be mightily rewarded for that time spent.
