Charlie Kirk the right-wing political activist appreciated by President Donald Trump and the White House for his efforts on behalf of the Republican Party was assassinated for the things he said. The Left in their twisted minds in their own way equally appreciated the freedom of speech and First Amendment advocate. They could focus on Charlie as a rival and point man for everything contrary to their agenda for America. They are still fighting it out. But Charlie Kirk was his own man. Tu...

The shocking truth about Anne Boleyn lies not in the salacious accusations against her character, but in how effectively she was erased from history for challenging Christian orthodoxy. The defence and vindication of Anne Boleyn came from her daughter Elizabeth I, whose reign and subsequent excommunication by the Pope in 1570 revealed some of the lies the Catholic church is built on. We are talking of deception on a grand scale. Anne was first to assert we have been collectively misled...

"ANNE BOLEYN, MOTHER OF THE NATION" is now on sale. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FDLSJFG9 Vladimir Putin's claims about existential threats to Russia sparked an exploration into the nature of existence, leading to the surprising discovery of Anne Boleyn as possibly the first existentialist in history, four centuries before Jean-Paul Sartre. Existentialism offers a powerful alternative to propaganda as an operating system for both individuals and nations. Alexei Navalny the last great e...

"ANNE BOLEYN, MOTHER OF THE NATION" is now on sale. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FDLSJFG9 I made a study of Anne Boleyn using the Renaissance as a frame of reference. Anne was born around the same time Michelangelo started painting the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo put Renaissance Humanism on the map with his daring portrayal of God in human form. He was the Richard Dawkins of his day. The biologist in 2006 found God in the form of a spaceman and the God on the ceiling of the Sistine Cha...

Anne Boleyn threatened the feudal system where lords owned people as property. She posed an existential threat to Lord Thomas Cromwell and 27 other lords of England. Lord Cromwell seized control of the Church of England—an institution Anne herself helped establish—he systematically dismantled her reputation and branded her the Great Whore, an apocalyptic title from the Book of Revelation. This calculated character assassination worked for centuries. In 1949 it finally became possible to resto...

Drawing on historical sources like Pliny, Lucian, Tacitus, and Josephus, we trace Anne's religious thinking back to early Christian humanism. When Anne said "Lord Jesus, receive my soul" at her execution, she wasn't speaking of a future resurrection but addressing Jesus "in real time"—a radical departure from medieval Catholic doctrine. Archbishop Thomas Cranmer recognized her religious significance when he declared, "She who has been the Queen of England upon earth will today become a Queen ...

This podcast is about the battle for the soul of England. Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn transformed England from a Catholic country to a Protestant one. Their relationship spanned fourteen years. For ten years they were inseparable. Following her execution on May 15, 1536, Anne was ex-communicated by the Church of England. People were no longer free to talk about Anne but not talking about Anne meant not talking about Henry because they had been as one. The historical gaps in Henry VIII's ...

Every great story has hidden beginnings, and Shakespeare's rise from obscurity to literary immortality is no exception. In 1592, the Lord Chamberlain's Men were at a crossroads—financially stable but creatively paralyzed by fear of Elizabethan England's religious authorities. Enter William Shakespeare, a Catholic from Stratford-upon-Avon seeking fortune in London, initially hired merely as a stagehand among Oxford and Cambridge graduates. What happened next transformed theatre forever. When ...

The popular American conception of Anne as a temptress completely misses the truth revealed by her daughter Elizabeth I. When Elizabeth became Queen, she commissioned a family tree honoring her mother as "the most gracious Princess Lady Anne." This wasn't mere sentiment—when Anne emerged internationally in 1526, it was as Princess Anne Boleyn. My book uses Elizabeth's perspective as a primary source to reconstruct the authentic story of this remarkable woman whose humanist philosophy, had it ...

A giant horse falls on Henry VIII, and England is forever changed—not because he died, but because of what returned in his place. This extraordinary exploration of Tudor history suggests that when the 44-year-old king suffered a catastrophic riding accident on January 24, 1536, his soul departed while his concussed body became a puppet for the manipulative Thomas Cromwell. At the heart of this tale stands Anne Boleyn, not merely as Henry's infamous second wife, but as England's first true hu...

Anne Boleyn's remarkable story transcends the typical Tudor narrative of a queen who lost her head. She was systematically erased from history—her portraits destroyed, her letters burned, her emblems dismantled. Thomas Cromwell labeled her "The Great Whore" and worked tirelessly to remove her from historical memory. He succeeded. Then came Elizabeth to the throne. The fascinating dimensions of Anne and Henry's relationship reveal parallels to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Anne initial...

I was a guest on the Stacey Chillemi podcast recently. I had a great time and it helped me focus on Anne Boleyn even more sharply. 18 year old Anne was known as the king's whore and the king's concubine from 1526 onwards. She was not known as the Great Whore till after her death in 1536. The Great Whore, well that's another story. Send us a text Support the show

Anne Boleyn was an amazing human being. She was given an education that money could not buy. She was educated to be what she became and that was a thought leader and a conduit for humanism. The Renaissance gave us Michelangelo who painted God in the form of a man. The Renaissance gave us Anne Boleyn who understood what it meant for God to be a man. Anne understood the selfish gene in terms of the selfish nature of men and women. She understood selfish is not a dirty word because it is t...

Send us a text What happens when brilliant minds from different centuries arrive at startlingly similar conclusions about religion? Anne Boleyn and Richard Dawkins emerge as unexpected intellectual companions in this thought-provoking exploration of religious criticism across time. The fascinating parallel between these two figures reveals how both discovered dual concepts of God within the Bible. Dawkins unearthed "a spaceman" and ancient Israel's "God of War." He was critiquing the omnipre...

Send us a text Join us as we pull back the curtain on the real story of Anne Boleyn. She was buried under scandal and misinformation. The gaps in her story invited propaganda merchants to fill in the blanks. It did not help that Anne was a genius and Catholics could not understand her. Christians do not understand humanism to this day. But it was Protestants who had Anne beheaded and that included her own father, Thomas Boleyn. Thomas Cromwell the prosecutor and architect of Anne's downfall c...

Send us a text Anne Boleyn was found guilty of witchcraft, adultery, incest, and treason. But in her execution speech Anne did not ask for her sins to be forgiven. No surprise there because in the existential universe there is no such thing as sin and for Anne to have known this is evidence of genius. There were educators in France expecting a lot from Anne Boleyn and she delivered. She freed England from the Catholic Church. If there is no such thing as sin, then Jesus Christ did not ...

Send us a text Vladimir Putin in 2022 sent me on a journey to find the world's first existentialist. I was interrupted by the BBC in November of 2023 with the broadcasting of "Shakespeare, Rise of a Genius." It was to celebrate 400 years of First Folio, the publication of Shakespeare's plays. I found a theme in the plays which led to Anne Boleyn who was a humanist. In the words of Jean-Paul Sartre, “Existentialism Is a Humanism.” In this episode, we examine the intertwining legacies of ...
