Hot Water History

Always champions of the working class, the Obamas can't seem to rustle up enough funds to pay contractors who already completed work on their tomb-monstrosity in Jackson Park. One has to wonder where all that plunder and laundered money landed--the final cost was 2X over initial budget. No soup for the actual people who worked on the place though...

In Oak Park on Halloween, socially upward-mobile youths gathered for some good, old-fashioned frolicking, with trick-or-treating, modest costumes, just a bit of widespread property damage, and a shooting homicide. But--never fear--everything was under control because no arrests were made...

You know who are claiming to be victims--yet again--of freedom of association... It's not the Amish.

Two kindergarten teachers just wanted to learn how to teach kids like the goyim do, but said inferiors' insistence that they not openly support the sadistic, demonic slaughter of other young children in the not-so-promised land precludes them from doing so. Oh the humanity!!!

On the good side of humanity: What a movie could be made about Carthusian Dom Bernard-François Dubois who, in the middle of the French Revolution, refused to vacate the earthly realm God had granted to h...

You know there's a lot of fudging going on when the synodal church puts its apostate pen-to-paper and relies upon squish words like "inadmissible" to shroud their true rebellion against the Truth. Antipope Prevost is at it again though, now regarding the death penalty, attempting to practice more capital punishment against established and confirmed Catholic doctrine. Out the window, as always in the fausse-église, are true justice, proper reprisal, God's dignity and the common good. Not to mention the victims whose blood cries out for recompense and peace. Cheapest, fiat-mercy is the primary currency of the Vatican.

Euthanasia is the demonic inversion of redemptive baptism. One provides new life, cleansed of sin; the other draws men into the destruction of human life while plunging him into mortal sin. It is an affirmative, repurposed and repeated response to Satan's call to man to reject his Creator and his nature as made in God's image and likeness. It is repugnant. It is, with abortion, the opposite of love and compassion. It is wrath and sloth given a luminous sheen.

As the modernist church has sheepishly abandoned the necessary temerity of the Proclamation of the Kingdom of God...

Meanwhile in Oak Park was too big to delay, so you hear the church tones and exorcist chant right away in this episode. Sure, it mostly focuses on an open homosexual River Forest school principal, his "partner" from Guam, and their activities at Old St. Pat's in the West Loop, but as we've seen recently, River Forest is doing its damnedest to catch up to Oak Park's insanity. Such are the times in which we live wherein we find ourselves on the side of Dick Durbin. Even Dick Durbin seems to be able to see Rome crumbling as he barks...

From all of the short options trades to the crazy, intact hijacker passport, we hit on some of the prominent conspiracy facts about bad ol'September 11. Still no count as exactly how many Israelis also danced at Charlie Kirk's murder--perhaps there were too many to number.

Memory is a fickle friend and one that can evoke sadness especially when it comes to remembering the dead. Memento etiam is not so much, "remember also" but more so "recall even now" after so many years forgotten, this great figure in my life who gave God greater glory.

Oak Parkers...

History is a dynamic discipline and as such, when your wrong as a historian, it is not just best but rather essential that you mend your errors and declare them to all who might (and certainly did) listen. Thus, the case of Richied's previous teaching on the experience of the Congolese during during the État Indépendant du Congo (EIC) period as well as formal colonization by the Belgians beginning in 1908. He leaned and relied too heavily on too few accounts that fit into what he had previously been told about the era, especially Adam Hochschild's KING LEOPOLD'S GHOST. This ep...

The REAL Great Awakening continues on as, with all things, Christ Jesus and the Holy Ghost demand the scales be removed from our eyes. Trump carries the zohar in his pocket, close to his sclerotic heart and carries out all of the kabbalist cabal's wishes. He is the not-so-cryptic jew.

What of that period then between Christ's Resurrection and the Destruction of the Temple (and true Judaism) by Titus in 70 A.D.? That was the initial time of holy clarification and divine patience. Are we now, after the Catholic Church's seizure and humiliation, living in a second time...

In its history and even in its gameplay, Monopoly has always been an anti-capitalistic indoctrination tool. It glorifies submission to central banking and the State while treating competition in free markets as nothing but a hateful exercise of ruination against your fellow man. Try to cooperate? Other players howl collusion. "Land" on the property of another? You are forced to pay without receiving any benefit from exchange. That is to say that the Georgist, original intent of the game remains: to leave the contestants believing that any sound recognition of property rights (from which all other inalienable rights are mere...

"Peace is the tranquility of order." That's damn straight, St. Augustine! And, a good God wills that we live in the happiness and mirth of that order, one in which we are called to make manifest the Kingdom of God by loving and cooperating with our neighbor. It is not primitive man, only in the state of nature, that we attain such natural heights, but in true civilization which is nothing but approved and binding adherence to Revelation and Tradition.

Be gone--again!--thievery, betrayal, mendacity, avarice, pride and pusillanimity...

Return--again!--cooperation, friendship, honesty, temperance, humility and...

Mayor Zohran found time away from his busy schedule of talking tough publicly against Netanyahu and the Israel cabal but then kissing their local asses behind-the-scenes, so as to promote his counter-reality grocery stores. They promise to be the DMV and post office of food conveyance. Socialism does indeed suck.

The U.S. Post Office announces a running deficit that exceeds the going rate of regime change wars, but no one has the gumption to dismantle the boondoggle.

St. Ephrem the Syrian reminds us of the centrality of a well-informed, grace-directed and nonetheless FREE will. Progressives...

The State continues to play the roles of arsonist and firefighter--albeit a poor one--up in Canada to the environmental and respiratory health of those of us to the South.

What would anarcho-capitalists do to resolve the problem of air pollution, in this case coming in the form of wildfire smog? Turns out, the great Murray Rothbard penned an essay on just this topic. Privatization and incentive would likely eliminate the conditions by which these destructive conflagrations rage.

Oak Park certainly has no shortage of flamers, and one was sent as a reporter to spy in on...

In the fullness of time in history, wherein so many nefarious forces have revealed their methods and their claws all at once--from socialism, COVID, Epstein, globalists, war-mongers, Zionists, and the rest of the cabals--the Catholic Church had the opportunity of opportunities to promote and defend Divine Majesty and human dignity in light of the Incarnation. And, she totally dropped the ball. At least, the ape church with its whorish antipopes and their lackeys did. The webbed institutions of official church continue limping on, leading sheep away from the salvific Faith and into the laps of wolves. Do graced inquiring minds...

As "Merica" is about to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Gary goes under the knife and for the life of him cannot find any meaning behind the semiquincentennial. Murray Rothbard at 100 bears much more meaning as it was dear Murray who demystified economics and elaborated on the legacy of the Austrian school with such brilliance that he rendered it the unassailable system that it runs as today. Turns out God created man to be free, to worship Him and to love his neighbor as himself. A State is not needed to enforce any of that.

The Society of St...

"Archbishop" Ronald Hicks of New York appears to relish his ministry of worshiping dominant trends and fads in secular culture while making every actually faithful Catholic cringe at his neediness and accommodations. Nothing hits as more Catholic than waving around FIFA and Knicks jerseys and donning a fedora on Puerto Rican Day. So awkward. So sheepish. So ghey.

Hicks's own elevator-in-chief--playing the role of Ted McCarrick-- is Bobby Prevost. Bobby lifted the veil this week to affirm that with the SSPX moving forward with their demands to be orthodox Catholics, Vatican II did indeed create a new religion...

Antipope Prevost issues his first major encyclical--if you want to call it that. It is more of a written rant by a 60 year old woman who has had a little too much cabernet sauvignon. Is there a better description for Prevost than a tipsy Karen who is finally on top after slumming it with Che Guevara t-shirt wearers and now finally finds himself with an audience and pen?

The slavery of anti-capitalism and public options gets more and more support as dullard and criminal Trump continues to pose as a "businessman". Even greats like Tucker Carlson and Jimmy...

Thomas Massie had the "people's seat" of the 4th District of Kentucky bought out from under him and then outright stolen from said people by three disgusting Jewish billionaires who have dedicated their lives to making the United States Israel's bitch.

Is that too blunt?

Tucker Carlson and Owen Benjamin wax sagacious about what it means to be treasured by this world alone because you treasure its mammon. True liberation and purpose comes not from a storehouse of goods and accolades but by living in the Truth, loving Goodness, and reveling in Beauty.

Founder and brew master at Tridentine Brewing, magnus Trevor Alcorn, is back on the show to announce the upcoming release of Tridentine's newest offering, Sacred Flame Imperial Red Ale, just in time for June--the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. St. John Eudes and St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, pray for us!

The rest of the time on Trevor's fourth spin on the Hot Water History wheel is spent talking about everything from who is everyone's favorite among the named Archangels to a brief sojourn into Trad. Inc and Co. in the Catholic influencer realm. Yuck="Catholic...

Pope Leo XIV (aka. Antipope Robert Prevost) and, unfortunately all-too-real President Donald Trump engage in their latest kayfabe, dramatic fight over U.S. war campaigns in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. This time, unlike on sovereignty and mass migration, Prevost is right--even if his denunciation of the Zionist wars has all of the traits and looks of modernist, globalist, "all we are saying is give peace a chance" condemnation of war. It does seem that he either does not know of the Church's just war doctrines or that he is extremely ashamed of them. Such a claim also applies to Prevost...

Charlie has an ecstatic experience in prayer made all the more joyful since it was both a foretelling of his eternal end but also a departure from descending back down to the state of things in Illinois.

As the Roman historian Tacitus correctly declared: Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges, that is: When the republic is at its most corrupt, the laws are most numerous. How much more the case when the politicos and apparatchiks are so brazenly larcenous. Illinois and Chicago's expenditure (adjusted for inflation) has increased by about 80% while the population has decreased by 1%. Where did all...

Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble; if I stay there will be double.

Seems to me the reveries of expatriation from the United States are so pleasing not because there is some paradise on earth where all problems melt away for the long haul but because the end of the empire here bears no resemblance to what attracted so many to America in the past. Schizophrenic death throws and suspension of belief in what our eyes, ears, and hearts sense and feel is what is being demanded of everyone...

Lightning strikes the Vatican--again!--as the official Church does little to nothing to address the real, existential problem of Masonic-Zionism while war rages. It is not so hard to pick a side: Prevost and his limp wristed fellow prelates should at least know to align with the clear victims of unjust war and genocide. And they cannot even do that; after all that could endanger their hard compromised relationships with pharisees, their "elder brothers in the faith". Exactly what faith that is, few know...

Joe Kent is an actual Catholic and a Green Beret who acted in accordance...

Here we go again--yet another sure-to-be-disastrous regime collapse war that cannot even be remotely justified under the criteria of Catholic Just War doctrine. The United States government is a proud, murderous vassal state of Israel. It carries out Zionist wars of imperial aggression with slavish obedience. All of this is most certainly being done at the demons' behest. Thousands of innocents in Iran murdered. A Marine assaulted by capital police and a tough guy sitting senator while generals and statesmen bemoan the disruption. Cowards led by the most villainous and incapable simp maybe in the history of American politics. Darkness...

John-Henry Westen summarizes the ecclesial and hierarchical crisis in the Church. This time, it is really a top-down problem worsened by the near-total lack of proper catechesis delivered to the faithful over sixty years now. The conciliar and synodal apparatchiks in the Church have succeeded only in distilling modernism and complete obeisance to it. So, where are the supposedly good cardinals of the Church?! The Burkes, Mullers, and Sarahs of the world scurry away from defending the deposit of the Faith and those truly faithful to it while the good sheep of the Good Shepherd suffer. The Society of St...

The same civilization that brought consent and liberty, science and philosophy, art and theology is on its last leg. Outside of belief and reliance upon Christ, there's little to nothing to point to a revival.

States the world over are poisoning society as much as they are the skies.

Prayer and fasting are necessary escapes and means to elevate our souls. We ask for a prayerful Lent for all of our audience.

Oak Parkers contemplate voting for a brought-and-paid for Israeli shill.

Going on four years now, we have arrived at 200. Thanks be to God for granting us persistence and dedication to bring to the world the light of Catholicism and the truth of anarcho-capitalism. Much appreciation for all the guests who have appeared on the show. Deep gratitude to our listeners who we hope have, like we your humble hosts, contracted the liberating bug of deep cynicism and hated toward the modern State and its owner/operator.

What a grace to live in these disagreeable times! What a contrast we can draw between light and darkness, as the darkness...

Intrepid investigative work is not needed. All you have to do is look up and notice the constant chemtrails emanating from planes far and wide and see the poisoning of the skies. You're constantly coughiing. Your sinuses are irritated, and there is almost unrelenting congestion. This, of course, is not to mention the weird snow in the American South which does not melt when put to flame, but instead blackens. Great. And while this is going on--brought to you by the primordial evil of easy money--your overseers are laughing about it in Davos.

There's something happening here; That...

A powerful double-entendre here: Israel understands blockbusting in a rather literal sense while Oak Park realtors assert and self-congratulate for their own role in breaking up all white stretches in "the Village". Different strokes for different folks...

The synagogue of Satan has been quite busy in recent months and days, what with Jared Kushner among several letting the cat out of the bag regarding the pre-10/7 plans for Gaza, Israeli con-men bilking juvenile cancer patients of charity funds, and the Zionist crowd always, always crying anti-Semitism.

Finally: to ban or not to ban real estate yard...

With bald-faced imperial aggression that bares no distinction from the mercantilist and nationalist racket of the 19th century powers, the thoroughly neo-conservative Trump administration launches a regime-change war against Venezuela. Not North Korea, mind you. Venezuela has long been a target, but the trigger was ultimately pulled once CITGO's valuation reached a low point, was then forcefully scooped up by vulture-capitalist Paul Singer, and it is now time for Singer's hedge fund to reap its typical socialized-risk and reward. And if you didn't know all that, well, that's in part why we are here. If you continue to persist and...

Just like the typical navels, ins are good and the outies are gross. Gary and Charlie recap what rose to favor and fell out of it throughout 2025. Hilarity and brilliance ensue.

Donald Trump has an outie, but we are going to leave it up to braver souls to confirm.

Oak Park is annually out.

Garys unite as noble warriors fighting the best of fights against central banking and intelligence agency cartels. The effort cost heroic journalist Gary Webb his life as he was murdered for uncovering the incredible continuation of the Iran-Contra Affair--you know--the part when the CIA aided and abetted the importation of thousands of tons of crack cocaine into the United States so as to debilitate especially young men who had proven to be uppity against the regime in the past. All in the name of "democracy", right?

None of these military industrial complex and welfare-warfare state grand plans would...

Big Pharma looks to have its dead kid bounce--redefining a saying in the most murderous of ways; that is to say it looks to evade just retribution for its programed juvenile homicide while continuing in the hubris of still pushing mRNA injections. And the government is on board for it all.

Two great Reformation saints remind us of the almost sure destinations of those who war against natural law and its God.

Oak Parkers prove to be innovative in one area after all--discovering novel ways to tax each other.

Sure Chicago Public School students can't read, write nor do basic arithmetic, but that's all because their brilliant and talented teachers have had their development as instructors throttled by budget restrictions pertaining to professional training! They only got to spend $26.3 million on luxurious vacations from Finland to South Africa and they were just about to become master mathematicians while calculating odds at the blackjack tables in Vegas. Now that is career advancement...

Who knew Grok would come out as hard-core Catholic Traditionalist? Gary put Grok to the orthodoxy test, and he came up roses. What a bizarro world in which we live wherein an LLM, AI would absolutely smoke nearly all current Catholic bishops in terms of, well, their Catholicity. It's not so much the intelligence or knowledge deficit that stands as so striking, but rather the sensus fidei. Plus, Grok does not wince or demure in proclaiming it for a moment.

Oak Parkers can't wait to help fellow Illinoisans off themselves. Crazy teenagers on Lake St. avoid being shot.<...

Maybe Charlie Kirk isn't dead? How many "Charlies" were there? How many "Erikas" are there? Safe bet that there are more Erikas than actual tears shed by the current leading lady. That handkerchief she styles is drier than the Sahara. Watch just the trailer for the Nicholas Cage "Snake Eyes" (1998) movie and then tell us everything is as it seems to be.

Seems to be, however, that Robert Prevost is open and proud to usher in the passion of Christ's Holy Catholic Church while leading a mirror image mockery and a parasitical religion beside Her. Yes; the pretenders...

Ana Kasparian is on fire while Erika Kirk is a C-List actress who must have failed the theater class whose final required miming a woman in grief. Candace Owens appears to be the only one of Charlie Kirk's former close friends and confidants who is acting as any sane person would at the slaying of a loved one. And if you are one of the few hold outs buying Kash Patel's Valhalla story starring Patsy Tyler, then you are more than mildly retarded.

Good, no, great news for Ana: God promises that as a peacemaker, she will be...

On the eve of the release of Francis/Leo's first exhortation, Gary and Charlie hit at one of the cabal-progressives' favorite talking points; namely, "building unity". Be sure: Whenever you hear a rent-seeking incompetent midwit (the Church and government are absolutely dominated by them today) mention unity, what they are really saying--in the thinnest of rhetorical veneers--is that unity under their worldview and vision is what is demanded. Anything else is just conspiracy theory, vicious ignorance and anachronistic barbarism. The powers that be and are never relent from striving to establish their modern barbarism.

Oak Parkers respond to...

Pope Leo XIV has a lot to say to ice and about ICE. About honoring radical pro-death politicians despite Scripture, Tradition, Church canons, and centuries of papal and conciliar instructions--well, with that, he all of a sudden becomes confused and very, very tight lipped. Modernism, religious and cultural relativism and judaizing all lead to the same destructive ends; namely, the destruction of the faith in soul and body. Slapping the "COEXIST" bumper sticker on everything leaves us with the post mordial ooze of being forever, well, dead. Best instead to choose the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

...

You don't know what you've got until it's gone.

Charlie Kirk was quite the rebel, as it turns out, and he was getting all the more rebellious against the status quo and powers that be, so he had to be "dealt with". Requiescat in pace. You fought the good fight.

Patience is running out for those who believe the official narrative, all pumped out by the odious and certifiable professional liars in the media, FBI, CIA, Mossad, etc. Really, all we are talking about there are just different departments of the same, malevolent and maleficent power...

While everyone is falling all over themselves to laud Michael Knowles for his presentation of Catholicism to Tucker Carlson, Gary thought he generally sucked in his interview, besides the occasional therapeutic diagnosis of what ills modern society. Knowles had opportunity after opportunity to refute historical errors about the supposed liberator, Martin Luther, and failed. He then totally dropped the ball when Carlson pressed him on the purposeful, modernist ambiguities that pop from Vatican II, Bergoglio, and the rest of the infiltrators.

Knowles wants to be Catholic--we don't doubt his sincerity--but when put to the test of preferring his...
