Hi, I'm Mark, your host of the Nothing is as it seems podcast. I came to a place in my life where I realized that just about everything that we've been taught is a lie. We live in a world of lies. But the false narratives, pretense, and lies are not even the worst part! Our postmodern 'truth' has been reduced to superficial buzz words, platitudes, and soundbites. There is a crisis of depth in our culture that has seeped into our firmware and become part of who we are, how we process things, ...

This time, we are shining the light of truth so those that are caught in the valley of decision can be set free. We cover a recent Q&A livestream done by Jon Pounders of Now You See TV, and David Carrico of Midnite Ride. Recommended vid…

In this episode, we cover; or rather, expose Hugo talks, for his dangerous doctrine trying to claim that Psalm 12 is referring to 7 rewrites of the KJV bible. He's so far out to left field, he's left the stadium. In fact, he's left the stratosphere. And it's people like Hugo, and doctrines like this, that are contributing factors to the bible chang…

The powers that be just couldn't get their containment game rolling like they wanted with Vincent Rhodes and Dean Odle, so this time they've trotted out Hugo Talks and his 140k subscribers to be their mouthpiece. We are here to expose Hugo Talks too much and all of his false narratives.By mark

Some have called it corporate governance. Others have called it "keeping two sets of books." Still others have called it "privatizing the gains and publicizing the losses." For myself, I call it theft. Join us as we discuss a conspiracy that almost no one is talking about- the fact that they take our tax dollars, invest them, then keep all the prof…

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend of 20 years who went through the family court ringer and lived to tell about it.

The Vincent Rhodes saga is still unfolding. In this episode, we do a deeper dive into his video titled Supernaturally changes to Scripture (Yes or No)? Supernaturally Changes To Scripture (Yes or No?) (youtube.com) Apparently, Rhodes and Odle have their story and they are sticking to it. In fact, it seems they are doubling and tripling down. So let…

Vincent Rhodes was apparently forced by his subscribers to talk about the Mandela Effect Bible changes; so he recruited his buddy Dean Odle to have a contrived discussion where they could control the narrative. Join me as we analyze the validity and truth value of those arguments.By mark

Try as they might, TPTB are no longer able to cover up the Mandela Effect and especially, the Bible changes. Those powers have started to resort to using their carefully chosen actors to try and 'get ahead of this thing'. In this episode, I share some of my experience with some of those players.By mark

Project Veritas has just released another exposé in which a profiteering propagandist who self-identifies as an “educator” admits that he promotes critical race theory to and in public schools by omitting the words “critical race theory.” Yes, Americans really are that gullible. The racist scamster is Quintin Bostic, a homosexual who works for the …

There’s a grand act of un-creation taking place all across this nation. Leftists are busy with this ugly business of un-creating order, decency, justice, compassion, and beauty, and children play a central role in this ugly business. To leftists, children are both objects of un-creation and tools for un-creating society. If we want to see with grea…

Leftists have redefined “hate.” To them hatred refers to ideas and moral beliefs that they think harm others. So, using that definition, how do leftists hate people? Let us count the ways. Well, not all the ways. That would suck dry the wellsprings of hope from which we draw at the beginning of each New Year and which are granted to us by a graciou…

Two recent conversations over two days with two different people were variations on the theme of cultural dis-integration—or, perhaps more aptly, anti-culture integration. We are in the midst of a revolution propelled by the integration of the government—including government schools—big business, social media, the arts and entertainment industries,…

Haven’t leftists sanctimoniously proclaimed that no “trans”-identifying man would ever harm women in women’s private spaces? Haven’t leftists bristled with faux-umbrage at the suggestion that allowing objectively male persons in women’s private spaces will result in predators pretending to be women to easily access their victims? Haven’t leftists h…

Children are growing up in an America where adults celebrate the dismemberment of children in their mothers’ wombs. They are growing up where cross-dressing adult men twerk in children’s departments of public libraries, where adults tell children that some women have penises, where adults allow cross-dressing men into locker rooms with young girls …

Biden’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, the notoriously creepy Sam Brinton, is in the news again and again for all the wrong reasons. Correction: Brinton finally lost his job on Monday after not one but two luggage thefts at two airports: one in Las Vegas and one in Minneapolis. His luggage of choice is…

In a brazen act of anti-Christian disrespect and cultural appropriation, Edison Middle School (CUSD 200) in the formerly conservative town of Wheaton, Illinois has chosen to deface a Christian symbol that celebrates the birth of Christ. The DuPage Policy Journal reported that Edison is prominently displaying a full-size rainbow-colored “gay pride” …

If you want to know what “progressive” teachers think of conservative parents, please take a gander at the following blog post from recently retired Deerfield High School English teacher (and former colleague) David Hirsch.

Well, well, well, a recent news story pokes a hole in the leftist media portrayal of crossdressers as paragons of virtue and mental health who must never be criticized. The story emerges from Chicago where LaSaia Wade, a crossdressing man who spends his days trying to normalize sexual deviance, has been fired from Brave Space Alliance, the “LGBTQ” …

As you read this, remember how many times leftists assured Americans that homosexuals wanted nothing more than to be left alone to do their thing in the privacy of their bedrooms. And remember how they asserted that the legalization of same-sex “marriage” would affect no one, no way, no how. Two days ago, the Corruption of Marriage Act (COMA)—known…

Leftist boomers and their ideological spawn together have created the worst generations, shameful heirs of a noble legacy hard-won by our forebears. Leftist boomers, taking their cues from pervert Alfred Kinsey, hedonist man-child Hugh Hefner, and addled Timothy Leary, ushered in the drug and sexual revolutions. Satiating primitive urges, escapist …

By hook, crook, the DOJ, FBI, policies, Executive Orders, courts, and laws, leftist public “servants”—both elected and unelected—have long had conservatives in the sights of their weapons of war. And they’ve had powerful allies in this battle in the legacy news media, government schools, and, more recently, social media and corporate America, inclu…

Since the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade was overturned in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, leftists have been roiling in rage at the thought that states are now free to enact the will of their voters with regard to killing humans in the womb. In his concurrence, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas argued that three other Supreme …

I just read this comment from a conservative: “I’m done. Prayers didn’t help. We are doomed. Why even vote?” Come on, conservatives, SNAP OUT OF IT! … It’s fine to take a moment to absorb the shock and disappointment. … Okay, that moment has now passed. Now, it’s time to take stock, point fingers, give some GOP leaders the heave-ho, and then get to…

California Governor Gavin Newsom has decided to throw a boulder in the path of conservative people of faith who want to serve their communities as police officers. In September, Newsom signed into law a bill that amends a reasonable existing law which requires police officers to be free from any “emotional or mental condition that might adversely a…

Halloween: the favorite holiday of men who cross-dress, wear woman-face, and like to hang around young children. And in San Diego they did just that. The San Diego Union-Tribune (U-T) reported on the “first-ever Boo Bash,” which included, “candy, a kid’s costume contest,” and, fittingly, “a Disney-villain themed drag queen performance.” Drag queens…

Friday morning, Illinois Family Institute (IFI) was unpleasantly greeted with JB Pritzker’s deceitful, divisive, anti-Christian screed—er, press release—that uses IFI to besmirch his gubernatorial opponent, the exceptional Darren Bailey. Through this screed/press release Pritzker unwittingly besmirched every conservative Illinoisan—including theolo…

Jessica Valenti, author of the book Sex Object: A Memoir and founder of the blog Feministing, is a dishonest woman with the unseemly life mission to keep abortion safe, legal, and commonplace. She describes herself on TikTok as a “feminist author” and “a much bigger deal on Twitter,” who writes “about abortion every day.” Valenti, an avid proponent…

While many Republicans are celebrating Tulsi Gabbard’s exit from the destructive Democrat Party, Illinois Family Institute is taking a wait-and-see approach to yet another political incarnation of Gabbard. While rejecting the Democrat Party and its baleful policies is always a good thing, not every exit from the Democrat Party constitutes an embrac…

Recently, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Virginia Children’s Hospital, Boston Children’s Hospital, Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Transgender Health Clinic, and Akron Children’s Hospital have been under fire for engaging in experimental cross-sex hormone-doping on gender confused teens—some effects of which are risky and…

Uh oh, somebody at the Today Show didn’t get the message from the Ministry of Truth. Last week, a panel of four Today Show talking heads called the human creature with human organs, a human head, human limbs, human features, and human expressions growing inside of a woman a “baby.” #HumanHeadsWillRoll Stacey Abrams is not going to be happy about th…

On September 9, 2022, Indiana University (IU) issued a press release announcing that in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Kinsey Institute, the university has installed a life-size bronze statue of entomologist and pervert extraordinaire Alfred C.

Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not on Earth anymore. By now many Americans have heard—or worse, seen—photos of the male shop teacher in Ontario, Canada who sports mammoth mammaries with erect nipples in skintight tops to class. The mentally ill and morally degenerate teacher goes by his new name, Kayla Lemieux, and he now sashays around school in a dra…

Sexual libertines long sought to transform cultural disapproval of homoeroticism into approval, and one way they pursued this goal was to co-opt the fight of blacks for racial equality. Hence, sexual libertines pursued the inclusion of homosexuality (and now “gender identity”) in anti-discrimination law. To that end, sexual libertines relentlessly …

Leftists, practiced at the art of deception, do not care about anyone who lives in America. They care about one thing: maintaining power at all costs. And they think catering to criminals will achieve that goal. Case in point the in-credibly—as in not credibly–named Safe-T Act (Safety Accountability Fairness and Equity-Today), which passed Illinois…

On September 6, the Human Services Committee of Evanston City Council voted unanimously to send Alderman Devon Reid’s proposed ordinance to allow women to go topless in “all public places (forward to 51:25)” to the “Equity and Empowerment Committee.” Reid wants his proposed ordinance reviewed over concerns that “it excluded the transgender communit…

While their sanctimonious and empty proclamations of fealty to inclusivity, love, tolerance, unity, autonomy, freedom, and diversity echo systemically throughout American institutions, leftists reveal their inky underbellies rotted with hypocrisy and depravity when they screech hater and hurl death wishes at Christians who dare to disagree boldly w…

Biden began his dark speech by extolling the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution as the “rock upon which this nation is built. They are how we became the greatest nation on Earth. They are why, for more than two centuries, America has been a beacon to the world.” But then his dark side flickered to life… Read more………

Days ago at a private fundraiser, our semi-pervy, semi-senile semi-president said that “not just Trump” but “the entire philosophy that underpins”—well, that’s where it gets a bit fuzzy, since our semi-articulate president broke off his semi-thought for a semi-moment as is his practice. When Biden-the-Unifier regained consciousness, he described “t…

A plague of biblical proportions and grotesque unsightliness has descended on America: drag queens. Just eight years ago, drag queens were a smallish plague found only in weird clubs catering to weird adults with weird “entertainment” tastes. Then lesbian/unfit mother drag queens’s darkened mind spawned a dark idea that she mistook for a brilliant …

Perhaps you missed the story about a Naperville, Illinois elementary school where third-grade teacher, Nicholas Cosme, a 25-year-old man who “paints his nails like a woman does—and is teaching eight-year-old boys” in his class at Elmwood Elementary School to do likewise. According to the DuPage Policy Journal, he has asked his students for their pr…

The Facebook Overlords are operating on overdrive. On Tuesday, August 16, I discovered that the FB Overlords had “fact-checked,” not one, not two, but three of the satirical memes I had posted over the past four days on my personal Facebook page. All of the memes satirized Biden’s proposed 87,000-member Schutzstaffel: the IRSS. This is a sure sign …

A 25-year-old man who pretends to be a woman was kicked off a community college campus in Texas and charged with a class C misdemeanor for allegedly choking a 17-year-old female student. Like the teen victim, the strange adult man who goes by the name Averie Chanel Medlock was a member of the women’s cheerleading team. Medlock complained that the t…

There is no degrading depth to which the Biden administration will not sink in its effort to appease sexual deviants and promote sexual deviance while concomitantly offending deplorables of every color. No, I’m not talking about Biden’s appointment of Dr. “Rachel” Levine, the burly cross-dressing man to be the Assistant Secretary of Health. Nor am …

As of this writing, 85 national and state organizations—including the Illinois Family Institute (IFI)—have signed a letter written by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and sent to U. S.

U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ) are pushing legislation that they have titled, “The Stop Anti-Abortion Disinformation Act.” The bill directs the Federal Trade Commission to issue rules prohibiting a “person from advertising with the use of misleading statements related to the provision of abortion services.” It also gi…
