Doug Wilson argues for a return to classical Christianity
Society is lost. It needs to rediscover its Calvinist roots and return to values now almost entirely forgotten.
Douglas Wilson is a Reformed theologian and pastor in Idaho, known for authoring books on theology, culture, and education, including the "controversial" Southern Slavery, As It Was, and advocating the integration of Christian principles into governance, such as support for a Christian theocracy.
He gained prominence through public debates with atheist Christopher Hitchens on "Is Christianity Good for the World?", beginning with 2007 written exchanges in Christianity Today, followed by live debates and the great 2009 documentary Collision.

— Wayne Grudem, American theologian

A common trope is that the Jews control everything, but Steve Falconer argues that, while Jews are in many powerful positions, the ones who are really in control are above them and hidden from sight. The Jews are a deliberate distraction from what's really going on.
Yes, Christians are being killed. But so are Muslims. What's happening there is not a religious war, but a foreign-backed insurgency to destabilise the country for the purpose of oil and resources under the ground. The religious-war narrative is a distraction.
This was a fascinating conversation with French author Laurent Guyénot, who took me through the Roman Empire, Paganism, Christianity, and 'the Jewish wars against Rome'—adding that the West was built on Greco-Roman foundations, not Christian values.
