War seems to demand some response--opinion, analysis, insight--lest it seem that we’re uncaring or detached from events so consequential. But if there is anything we can say with any certainty about war, it’s that nobody outside the inner circle knows anything, and the inner circle’s knowledge is partial, contingent, and prone to the interpretive distortions of group-think.
The other thing we can say with certainty is the primary task of those in charge of the war is perception management, to shape-shift the fog of war into narratives supported by images and statistics that lend an air of factual certainty to something that was as carefully curated as an advert campaign designed to persuade us to buy into whatever story of the war suits those in charge.
Since nobody has a truly comprehensive grasp of what’s going on--and what passes for comprehension has been filtered, either purposefully for perception management, or by the biases born of previous experience--any opinion, analysis, or insight is a claim for some measure of certainty that dismisses the inherent contingencies of fast-moving events that depend to some irreducible degree on where one is standing.
War fighting, perception management, analysis and policy-making are professions that are fraught with biases, group-think, blind spots and all the unknowns, from the known-unknowns to the unknown-unknowns, and everything in between. One of the few certainties is that no one involved is anxious to publicly admit they made a mistake.

It's the organized Stealth Jihad to conquer America. For 15 years the FBI was engaged in a landmark investigation into the largest Islamic-based charity in the United States, called The Holy Land Foundation. The organization was operating as a front for Muslim terror groups, funneling cash from western countries to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, until they were finally put on trial in 2008.
Convicted leaders were known as the “Holy Land Five,” and included Shukri Abu Baker, Ghassan Elashi, Mufid Abdulqader, Abdulrahman Odeh, and Mohammad El-Mezain. Among the documents seized from these individuals during the investigation was a strategic paper drafted by senior Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohamed Akram in 1991.
The paper was titled: “Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America”. It outlined an agenda called the “Civilization-Jihadist Process”, also known as “Stealth Jihad Understanding the role of the Muslim Brother in North America: ...
The April 12, 2026 election in Hungary may be even more eventful than the American midterms. Foreign interference, foreign money, and foreign propaganda have been focused for years to unseat Prime Minister Orban, the longest ruling leader in Europe. Why? Because Orban figured out how to transform a nation destroyed by Soviet secular socialist anti-Christian terror. He led Hungary back to longstanding Christian foundations of faith, reverence for Christ and obedience to the Scriptural duties of fathers, churches and civil magistrates. The Epstein elites of global governance, programmable currency, transhumanism, anti-Christian technocracy, and secular social engineering have all united to destroy Orban before his example of courage and Protestant Reformation brings hope and a Christian counter-revolution to other nations. Orban is dangerous because he is showing the West how to restart the international network of Christendom, the vast network of Christian nations.
