This article highlights the disparity between the original “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” and the contemporary musical “Wicked.” While “Wicked” reinterprets characters and presents a childish perspective of society in its story, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” conveys substantial themes of femininity, resilience, and the transformative journey of growing up, offering meaningful lessons especially for young women.

The Gospel According to Satan
This article explains that Satan’s goal is to be worshipped as God, opposing Jesus Christ and His teachings by spreading false doctrines and corrupting political and religious systems. I explore Satan’s tactics using scriptural references to reveal what the religion of Satan looks like and emphasize how to fight against Satan through understanding and living by the Word of God. I also expose the manipulation and lies spread by Antichrists, both ancient and modern.
The Disgusting Absurdity of Democracy
We are constantly told that “democracy is under threat” by whatever politician or program happens to be controversial at the time. But the truth of the matter isn’t that democracy is under threat.
The truth is that democracy *is* the threat.
Democracy is one of the most dangerous political systems ever devised and it makes possible the worst and grossest crimes imaginable. Worse, democracy gets you to fund, support, and love these crimes, to call the vilest evils good. And this article uses American support for the Israelis in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict to prove it.
The Power of Nonviolence!
There is no question.
There is no argument.
There is no debate.
Nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience are the most powerful, most effective, and most successful tools for everything from changing bad laws to overthrowing tyrannical despots.
The superiority of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience to violence of any and every form is an indisputable fact.
And here is the proof.
An Ancient Revelation on the Nature of Government
One of the great values of reading ancient history is that there is very little that is new under the Sun. Tribalism, nationalism, imperialism, and statism are not new phenomena in human history. Both their dangers and the solution to those dangers were well-known to the people of the past.
When we study their teachings we can recognize the way that the same old propaganda and same old lies have been repackaged by the political elites for our day, to indoctrinate and deceive us into believing in an ideology that serves them while harming us. We can also learn from the ancients how to prevent this cycle from repeating so that we can build a better and freer world.
Here is just such an example.
The Human Nightmare of Science
The actions of the government are often justified because they are suggested by “experts.” But experts at what, exactly? What gives you the expertise to manage the lives of hundreds of millions people? Or tens of thousands? Or ten? Nothing but pretension and hubris. All their claims of scientific knowledge are nothing but ashes and lies, fed down our throats to fill us with ignorance and death.
Review: The Tuttle Twins Learn About The Law
The Tuttle Twins books are some of the best children’s books on the market today. Each is based on one of the greatest books about human nature, human rights, the abundant life, society, politics, or economics – both classic works and contemporary ones – and manage to make their greatest insights understandable to children.
This article is a review of the first Tuttle Twins book, “The Tuttle Twins Learn About The Law,” based off of Frédéric Bastiat’s classical political treatise, “The Law.” It covers the origin of human rights, the proper role of government, the dangers of political power, and the way to build a peaceful society of equals.
All that, in a children’s book!
In a world full of extremists trying to indoctrinate you and your children into their political cults, these books are a breath of fresh air.
Why Conservatism Is Empty, Foolish, And Will Always Fail
Conservatism is a failed ideology (if it can even be called that) which will never accomplish anything meaningful or substantial. This is because Conservatism is nothing more than the last generation’s Progressivism. The so-called “Progressives” of yesteryear simply grew old, calcified, and became the “Conservatives” as the contemporary “Progressives” have developed whole new agendas to push. In a world where people want their problems solved today, the best Conservatives offer are the nostalgic promises of the blessedness of yesterday. These and its other failures will always prevent it from ever accomplishing anything. Here is why we are not and argue no one ever should be, a “conservative.”
The Three Greatest Threats To The Church And Society: Academia
In 1993, Apostle Boyd K. Packer delivered an address to church leaders delineating three of the greatest threats to the church and society that not only then existed, but whose influence would only increase and worsen as the years went on.
This article is about the third of those three threats and the worst one of all: the so-called scholars whose ideologies threaten society itself. In this article we review the history of the politically leftist “Progressive” take over of education, their efforts from the very start to use education as a tool to indoctrinate students into their economic, social, and political theories, and how the plan has always been to try and take control of society. We also expose the idolatry at the heart of their claims to be experts guiding society to a better future for the lie it is and provide examples of the real world failures of their lies. Finally, we look at what hope we have for overthrowing their lies and freeing ourselves and our children from the prison of leftist ideology and thereby abort the headlong run into societal collapse it is bringing to pass.
