The fact that progressives — there’s no need to add the term “radical” because all progressives are radical — are nihilistic is old news.

But what does nihilistic mean? It means that there is no truth, only power. In an effort to monopolize power,  progressives attempt to replace truth with illusion.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada is an adherent of nihilism. He craves power. In order to get it, he seeks to pass off rumors as truth, and half-truths as dogma. Truth, however, always prevails.

In 2021, it was widely reported that the remains of 215 children were found at an indigenous residential school site in British Columbia. Two years later, after excavations at suspected “mass grave” sites, no bodies have been found, according to the New York Post.

The bodies were initially located using ground-penetrating radar at Kamloops Indian Residential School. The government school was established in 1890 and was run by the Roman Catholic church. It was closed down in 1978.

“Minegoziibe Anishinabe, a group of indigenous people also known as Pine Creek First Nation, excavated 14 sites in the basement of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Catholic Church near the Pine Creek Residential School in Manitoba during four weeks this summer,” reported Dana Kennedy of the Post.

The lack of bodies doesn’t sound like it’s deterring Chief Derek Nepinak of Pine Creek Indian Reserve. He indicated the effort was an “initial excavation.”  The term “initial” has some skeptics thinking more digs are planned, according to the Post.

It sounds like Nepinak wants to find dead bodies. Why? Well there could be a number of reasons.

A cynic might think that the far-left Canadian government wants to disgrace the Catholic church and in doing so undermine Western values. This is what nihilists do. Western civilization, from ancient Greece forward, has been built on the premise that truth exists — from Moses to Plato to Jesus Christ. Nihilists can’t have truth because truth trumps power. They need to get rid of it. But they can’t.

Did atrocities occur at the Canadian government schools? Don’t doubt it. Colonization — whether European, Pheonecian or Japanese — isn’t pretty. When cultures collide, atrocities occur. That’s history. Progressives, however, don’t care about history. They care about power. So they attempt to rewrite history to undermine truth.

When the mass graves in Canada were “found”, Trudeau demanded that Pope Francis apologize for the alleged atrocities. Never mind the fact the Catholic church was working at the government’s behest. Maybe Pope Francis should have asked Trudeau for a government apology, but he didn’t.

Instead, Francis stood in front of a delegate of Canadian indigenous people and said, “I want to say to you with all my heart: I am very sorry. And I join my brothers, the Canadian bishops in asking your pardon.”

“I want to say to you with all my heart: I am very sorry,” Francis said, during a final meeting with First Nations, Inuit and Métis delegates at the Vatican.

Was Francis’ apology a rush to judgment in an attempt to seize some sort of twisted moral high ground, a flat-out mistake or a nod to Trudeau and his hatred of truth? People will draw their own conclusions — some based on evidence, others based on desire.

Whatever the case, the initial accusations of the atrocities, including the “discovery” of 215 bodies of children, had a real-world impact. A series of Catholic churches were burned down in Canada in short order. In one example, two churches were set on fire on June 21, which happens to be National Indigenous People’s Day in Canada.

Another post on X shows the charred remains of a Catholic church still on fire.  I wonder if Justin Trudeau saw the post. If he did, it’s not going too far to think it brought a smile to his face. Whatever one thinks of Pope Francis and the Catholic church — and there is plenty gone wrong — it is nevertheless an iconic symbol of Western values. Seeing it burn to the ground would be a dream come true for Trudeau and his fellow globalist elites.

And what about Pope Francis? Would he smile too? I don’t know, but it’s safe to say that he’s a progressive. That says it all.

A “mass grave” with no bodies? That’s radical. It’s also nihilistic, the opposite of truth.

Funny how the progressives appeared to get that one so wrong.

Amber Bergeron, a mother of four who is one of millions of Americans struggling under the Biden economy, fired back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) after the lawmaker shared a tone deaf video on inflation calling it corporate “propaganda” to hide “greedy shareholders.”

AOC shared a video from a New Zealand left-wing group, Aotearoa Liberation League, to her Instagram Stories. The  voice over for the video exclaims, “The price of everything keeps going up; meanwhile, the corporations selling those things are making massive profits. The goal of the capitalist is to disconnect these two facts from one another. So they use this concept of inflation.”

The video continues, “The propaganda around inflation and cost of living is so powerful that we forget the very basic fact that corporations set the prices for their products. If a corporation raises its prices and then makes record profits, that’s not some invisible monster. It’s just a bunch of greedy shareholders.”

Bergeron joined Fox & Friends First to discuss the realities of living under Bidenomics asking, “I’m just wondering how she thinks it’s propaganda.”

Fox News reports:

“Has she checked her electric bill? Has she looked at the cost of groceries compared to last year? If you get on the Walmart app, she can take a look and see the difference. I’m wondering what her budget is that that’s not something that she’s concerned about. It’s obviously not a worry in her household. It’s not something she’s having to worry about. But I’m wondering how people can be so oblivious.”

********

“[It’s] not too good, or at least it’s not for us over here,” she said. “Everything’s going up. Our electric bill projected for next month is around $500. Medical costs have gone up. Insurance premiums going up. And usually if you come into an issue and you don’t have the money in your reserves, you would go and you would get a loan. For instance, if you need to repair your AC, if you need to do any vehicle repairs. But we’re actually in a situation where our truck just broke.”

“Well, if you think about it, interest rates are so high right now, it’s making the monthly notes impossible. And I know this is something that’s typical for a lot of Americans right now, having to worry about these things,” she said.

Bergeron continued, “There’s nothing left over at the end of it. We’re being able to make everything work. We are blessed. My husband works very hard. If it means that he’s going to put in some extra hours, he’s putting in extra hours. He’s going to do what he has to do for his family, which is what a lot of Americans are doing. But as a father of four, he can only do so much. And he’s spread thin. It’s hard.”
