I was banned from commenting over a comment about the pro Palestine groups in America tending to be commie atheists who dismiss the God of Jacob. No response to my reaching out. They have hit me up for donations.
Stephen Kokx is gone too. Easy to see what happened: The Novus Ordo board leadership was uncomfortable with LSN's posture on the COVID death serum, because it made them uncomfortable to be against Francis/apostate authority. Then the Vigano endorsements made them even more uncomfortable, especially after the fake excommunication. Finally, LSN began posting persuasive arguments from the sedevacantist perspective, which nobody in Novus Ordo-land could rebut, and this was the last straw. First, sedevacantist commentary once again became verboten. Soon, LSN would post their official rebranding notice (Toward a More Excellent Way), whereby they decided to speak more respectfully of apostate Rome (similar to the SSPX rebranding). Then they perma-banned those regular commentors whom they could not defeat. These three measures make it seem as though Westin received a slap on the wrist behind closed doors. Finally, they decided they needed to ban Kokx and Westin, having already discarded McCusker and Wright, ultimately because the Board did not want to become trad. You'll notice there is no comments box under the Westin announcement. They don't want to hear what you think about it. They're just getting back on board with the Novus Ordo establishment. Period. Hopefully Westin, Kokx, McCusker/Wright will get something else going on their own. They were mostly the only ones worth reading there anyway.
