What you’re looking at

The PolitiMix is American politics taken seriously and the gloves taken off, woven through with everything else that refuses to leave my head alone. Disclosure and the UAP question, treated as the consequential subject it actually is. Tarkovsky read frame by frame for people willing to sit still. The occasional internet mystery, theological broadside, or eulogy for a specimen the universe was relieved to be rid of.

If you want centrist throat-clearing, both-sides hedging, or the comfortable pretense that what is happening isn’t actually happening, you are in the wrong place.

What you’ll get in your inbox

Politics from the actual left. The religious right’s slow merger with the executive branch. Creeping authoritarianism reported on instead of euphemized. Long arguments built on sourcing, not on vibes.

The Coward Files: a documentary series profiling the named Republicans and complicit Democrats who had the information, the standing, and the moment to act against authoritarian capture, and chose not to. One subject per installment. The registry is permanent.

UAP and NHI coverage that doesn’t flinch. Whistleblower testimony, military aviator reports, anomalous interstellar objects, and the policy fight over disclosure. The credible figures ranked. The skeptics’ arguments taken on directly. No tinfoil, no eye-rolling, no condescension toward witnesses with twenty years of clearance behind them.

Film writing, primarily Tarkovsky. Stalker read scene by scene. Slow cinema as it deserves to be read.

Plus whatever demands to be written. A suburban defense doctrine. A vanished YouTuber. A theological argument about a president as antichrist. The pieces that don’t fit a niche are usually the ones worth reading.
