Housekeeeping

Well, there you have it. Life is full of surprises.

I surprised myself by formally "joining"/throwing my hat in with Peaceful Uprising, the environmental/climate issues organization that is backing Tim DeChristopher, AKA Bidder 70, in his civil disobedience and its consequences. To clarify, I am not an advocate of most direct action, and probably will not engage in it personally with PeaceUP.

Since I've now climbed aboard the Peaceful Uprising boat (it isn't powered by coal, but rather by a magical solar/wind hybrid engine we stole from some friendly space aliens), I will not be blogging overmuch about climate/environmental issues here, unless something fairly major crops up. If I'm approved as a content provider at PeaceUP, I'll post those entries there - if not, I might just link to contributors who are better informed and have a longer history with these issues than I am/do.

Most of my blogging will still go on here ("THANK GOD," say my two fans, one of whom finally got wireless access under the overpass where he lives). The stuff I work on with PeaceUP will mainly be very boring and very invisible. Anyone who gets a chuckle or two out of my more absurd and idiotic rants might enjoy Free Range Onions, a site run by my hetero life mate Kyland. I contribute a few things there from time to time.

My Praxis blog is dead, as it required a huge amount of research and outlining to do a "serious political ideology/philosophy" blog, but I hope to revive it out by summer at least. I'm still soiling my reputation by participating in Twitter. I'm still active on Facebook, too.

Any way, that should do it for housekeeping issues. For a sterling example of why I will be maintaining a strict separation between Salt City Sinner and PeaceUP isues, look for a Utah gun laws/gun rights blog either today or early tomorrow.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like

Cult Books: One Good, One Terrible

  I’ve finished writing a new novel (stay tuned for details) in which the massacre at Jonestown in November 1978 plays a pivotal role. Both to research it and because the phenomenon interests me, I’ve read more than a few books on cults and cultic ideology over the last year.

God, Power, Fear, and Donald Trump

Posted on 11/23/2019 by the Salt City Sinner What does it mean to love God, what does it mean to love power, and what does it mean to love Donald Trump? Are these separate questions, or have they become scrambled together? Given that 81% of Evangelicals voted for Trump , it’s safe to conclude that the latter is the case. Unpacking the tangled webbing of fear, greed, superstition, and credulity that binds white Evangelicals to Donald J. Trump, the most profane and libertine President in United States history, will be the project of generations. Religious conservatives didn’t get here overnight, and it’s an odd place for them to have arrived at, but the journey isn’t as mysterious as it might seem at first glance. A good place to start is Believe Me: the Evangelical Road to Donald Trump , by John Fea . Fea’s book is an attempt to answer these questions in a serious way, and from the standpoint of one who shares many of the values and presuppositions of the average parish
