Black Friday, Thanksgiving, and Sponsor Reads

And we are live for the Conversations That Matter podcast, late night on Friday edition here. I thought it might end up being a mega edition, but now, Eastern time, it's 1022, so I don't know. We'll see how late I can stay up here.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was yesterday. Today's Black Friday, and I asked people online what the good Black Friday deals were, and most of what I got back, maybe this says something about this audience, but it was all about Christian books and publishing companies, and I thought, my audience probably reads a lot, so it sounds like just about every Christian book publisher, distributor, is having a sale right now, so hopefully some of you are taking advantage of that.

I wanted to highlight a few things as well here. A friend of mine, a friend of the podcast, actually has given me very valuable information in the past and wanted to let me know about a book, actually his mother wrote, I don't know why I have the European edition up here.

Well, you can find it. It's called Demi Wiggin, and I actually, I have a copy of it right here. It's a kid's book, and someone who's a friend of the show, and it's on sale. I don't know why I have the, I don't know, what is this?

I have the Irish, I think, Kindle pulled up. I don't even notice that, but anyways, it's dirt cheap right now, so it's a kid's book. Someone that doesn't have a publishing company, but I said, yeah, I'll let people know that your book is out there as well.

And of course, for this time of year, nothing is perfect. The holidays cannot be perfect without a Gold River tea set. I mean, it just goes without saying. You have to go to GoldRiverCO .com to get yourself some Gold River green tea, Earl Black tea, the 1776 American Breakfast Blend, whatever suits your fancy.

They have a number of different bundles here, and it's what I drink. And in fact, this is, don't tell my relatives that I'm getting this for them, but for some of my relatives, I'm getting some of this for them, because it is that good.

I do believe in the product, and you can get gift cards too if you're not sure, hey, what do my friends actually like? What does my grandfather drink when he drinks tea? What's he gonna enjoy? Well, get him a gift card if you don't know, to Gold River.

And if you put in the promo code, conversations, then you'll save 15%. I believe it's 15 on the product. And so that's been useful right now. I'm actually getting over a cold, and it's cold, of course, in upstate New York right now.

I was actually just out earlier today hunting. I didn't see anything today. Kind of a new spot, and actually, I don't know if other hunters relate to this, but I was kind of happy about it. You ever get happy that you didn't find a deer or shoot a deer, because then you would have to actually do something with it?

And I felt that way today. I thought, man, I don't really wanna shoot a deer, but I'm gonna sit here anyway and enjoy outside, even though it's cold, and that's what I did. And it was great. I love just sitting outdoors.

And this time of year, I at least have an excuse to do it. Maybe I should think about having an excuse other times of the year, to just sit still outside. I mean, fishing, but yeah, I mean, I don't know.

I'm not as still. And hunting, you gotta be still, and you're in the woods. It's just marvelous. So anyhow, we have a number of things to talk about today. I have so much to share with you. I just have so much.

I can't get to all of it today. We're gonna have to save the 1607 project for another time. The trailer's up, though, and I'm gonna show it on this podcast. If you don't wanna wait for that, you can go online and check out, just type in on YouTube, I guess, 1607 podcast, or not podcast, trailer video, and it should come up.

But the 1607 project is gonna be happening. We are gonna need your help. I'm gonna actually be asking you guys for your help to dig deep this year, if you can, on a number of different, I think, important projects.

And today's no exception. I'm gonna have a call to action at the end of this podcast for a friend who's in need, someone who's been on this podcast before, who, I'll just be blunt, he lost his job on Thanksgiving Eve.

I can't think of a worse time of year to lose your job but going into the holidays, when you have a family, when your wife is pregnant, and he could use our help. Actually, I forgot to put the link in the info section, but I will show it.

In fact, I'll show it right now if I can here. Here it is. It's for Thomas Accord, and to support the Accord family. In fact, they are, I'll refresh this to see what the current number is on this. They are, wow.

They have almost reached their goal. I guess the goal is now 15 ,000. So they're almost at $10 ,000, and I'm just so impressed with this. And you can look, I mean, you have, obviously, a big donor here, but a lot of these donations, I mean, they're $50 or $100 or $25.

I mean, there's just tons of people pouring in support for Thomas. And if that's not a character reference, I don't know what is. This is like that moment in It's a Wonderful Life to reference a Christmas movie.

And I guess it's not, it's a Christian nationalist movie, I guess. It's not a Christian movie. But at the end of the movie, when George Bailey is in trouble, and I mean, he's ready to just end it all.

I mean, it's that bad. And then all his friends and the people he's helped over the years come in, and they just give money. I mean, that's a beautiful moment in the movie. And of course, from the perspective of the outsider, someone who didn't see what George Bailey was actually doing, he looks like a criminal.

Like, Potter's accusations sound true, right? George Bailey's a bad guy. He took out these loans, he couldn't pay them back, whatever it was. He operated a business and embezzled the money. That's what it looked like.

And in reality, that's not what happened at all. And guess what? Even despite these accusations, the people around George Bailey knew that George Bailey was not the man that had the kind of character to embezzle money.

And that's what motivated them to give. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten anything. And I see a similar situation happening with this Thomas Accord situation with his family. I mean, he's being accused of some terrible things on the internet, but the people who actually know him, they're digging deep into their pockets to help him out.

And so I just would recommend, and I very shamelessly say that I gave a little bit to this as well, because I believe in helping a family who's in need during the holidays. So we're gonna work to what I'm talking about here.

Some of you know, most of you don't, but we'll get into the weeds on this a little bit, because I think it illustrates something. Even if you don't know who Thomas Accord is, even if you don't know some of the characters involved in trying to smear him are, which a lot of them are more obscure.

You're not gonna know who they are. This is an illustration of how the cancel culture mob works, even in evangelicalism, even in Christianity, Christian circles. And it's frankly disgusting to me. I just, I can't get the bad taste out of my mouth.

Louisiana Baptists and the Abortion Amendment

Before we get to that though, a bunch of other things I just wanna highlight for you, things I've been sitting on that I just know I need to share and I haven't yet, but the Louisiana Baptist Convention met, and this was October 10th.

So we're talking last month now, but they put together a resolution on abortion. And I'm not gonna read the whole thing for you, but in this resolution, they essentially praised the Supreme Court and the state of Louisiana for effectively outlawing abortion, curbing it, making a lot of progress for the pro-life cause, and encouraging Christians to get involved in adoption and these kinds of things now that Roe v. Wade has overturned.

So this happened though at the event. I wanna show this to you. And why is this important, John? Well, let me give you one reason. Where do you think the Southern Baptist Convention is gonna be held next year?

That's right, Louisiana. And the conservative line has been, well, we didn't win in California, but we can surely win in Louisiana because Louisiana is conservative. Now, I'm not here to say whether that's true or not, but I wanna give you a little piece of evidence to determine whether or not you think this is the case.

So I'll let you make up your own mind. And this is adding to evidence I've already presented, namely that, I think it was the Louisiana Baptist Convention that also failed to condemn Ed Litton when that was brought up as a potential resolution.

So, or a motion at least. I don't remember if it was a resolution or a motion exactly, but that was during the time of that Sermongate scandal thing. And Louisiana Baptist Convention said, we're not gonna do that.

We're not gonna touch that. Well, here they are again. This is recently. And here is an amendment that was offered for the resolution that I just showed you. And I'll play it for you.

But my amendment to resolution one is not to remove anything in the resolution. I don't object to any of the language. It's very good. The problem with resolution one, it's insufficient. A person could read this resolution and come away with the idea that abortion has been ended in Louisiana, or the idea that it's illegal for women to have abortions in Louisiana.

It is not, and I can demonstrate that later if we would like to have debate. But here is my amendment. I would like to add a resolution clause after the second resolution clause. And the amendment, which would add this clause, resolved that we urge the Louisiana legislature and the governor to fully ban abortion by enacting a law of equal protection for pre-born children, so that pre-born life will be protected from the moment of fertilization by the same laws which protect born persons.

That's mine.

Do you have a copy of that amendment? Could you, just a moment, Brian. Commission, just stand at ease for a moment.

Okay, so this is a lot of just fluff, a lot of waiting around. I don't know if we have time. Let's see, let's play a little bit of this. We'll play, this is a pastor who opposes. So after that amendment was brought up, there was some opposition.

It was ruled out of order, but then the person who brought the amendment said, I'm gonna motion that we overrule the, being overruled, essentially, and appeal to the body. And so that takes its course, and then we get to this pastor who's gonna oppose it, and I just want you to listen to what he says, a little bit of it.

Or getting abortions, and I think that that's where this is headed, and I want to make just a couple of comments about this and why we should not go any further with this. It's hard to argue with the reasoning, but my brother, and I have nothing but respect for him, the mothers involved in this are clearly choosing to murder their children.

Do not argue against that reasoning. It is accurate. I appreciate my brother's passion, his strong stand for the truth. I do want to say this. When the Apostle Paul was still Saul, he consented in acts of murder, 1st Stephen, and then he went on a personal crusade, if you remember, attacking other Christians.

The scripture says that led to their destruction, destroyed many other families and Christians. Paul, many years later, reflecting on his actions, he said this to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1 .13. He said, although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, an insolent man, but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Paul believed lies about Jesus and about Christians. He was misled. He was misguided. It caused him to make decisions that he would regret for the rest of his life. Paul caused Christians to be murdered, led to their deaths, but in his heart at the time, he was not a murderer.

The Christians, the church, they knew that he was a murderer but in his mind, he was a patriot defending God. These are actions that he had to live with for the rest of his life, but he says that he did them in ignorance and unbelief.

And I would argue that these women who get abortions, they make decisions that they regret for the rest of their lives. They've believed lies. They've been misled. They've been misinformed. They've been told lies.

Christians, now as Christians, we all agree. We know that they are killing their babies. They are ending life, but in their hearts, they believe that they are only ending a pregnancy. Someday, Lord willing, when they come to their senses, they're gonna have to live with their actions forever, just as Saul did, but I would say, if Paul found mercy in God's eyes because he did evil in ignorance and unbelief, how can we not proclaim mercy to those who end a pregnancy in ignorance and unbelief?

I do not disagree with the reasoning of those who are putting forth this action and are wanting to make this addition, but I disagree with the line of judgment. I do not believe that this is a message that we want to send to an unbelieving world, that we want to imprison those who are, in many cases, impoverished and underprivileged.

We need to show mercy to those who are. I'm gonna stop right here. Here's the problem with all this.

So, long story short, the body, the Louisiana Baptist Convention, decides to, they're not gonna accept this amendment. That's the bottom line here. The reasoning given here, though, is that, well, look, Paul said that he was doing all these things in ignorance, and so Lord showed him mercy.

We need to, the parallel is we need to show mercy to these women who have abortions. They're doing it in ignorance, too. Here's the thing, Paul knew he was murdering, or Paul at least knew he was, he thought he was doing what he was doing for the Lord.

There's no doubt about that, but he knew he was killing someone, or at least helping in that effort. It was obvious, and they were people, right? And so, it's not like Paul, when he's doing this, is not sure that that's a person that they're going after.

The ignorance and the unbelief go together here. He didn't know the Lord Jesus Christ. He was doing this, killing Christians, because they were Christians, and while, in the course of doing that, he didn't realize that what they believed was true and what he believed was actually false.

It was ignorance and unbelief, and now he believes. Now he actually agrees with those Christians. Obviously, now he would never do that, right? And so, this isn't a, this passage is not held up as an example of how to form your civil laws.

This, that would be a misuse of this passage. It's taking it out of its context and giving, appropriating it for something that it was never intended for, and I would like to suggest that's what this pastor just did.

No one, as far as I know, no one that I know, and myself included, makes a distinction, or fails to make a distinction, I should say, between sins of ignorance, things people do that they're not aware are as bad as they really are, and then premeditated sins that people know are evil and are very aware of.

So, I mean, I think you can make that distinction. You can realize that some things are done in ignorance. It doesn't mean that it's not a sin. It just means that it's not as serious because the motivations weren't as evil as they would have been if you were doing it knowingly, right, that's all it is.

So, that, and that distinction would not speak to this issue because if you have a woman, let's say, or a doctor, or anyone who's facilitating this procedure that kills a baby, if any step in that process, if you have someone involved, and let's say they are under the impression this isn't a baby, right, well, they're wrong, it is a baby.

And so the question is, what should our laws say? What should our laws reflect? The problem that has contributed to this ignorance is the fact that our laws have made this such an open question. Is it a baby, is it not a baby?

Is it a human, is it not a human? Well, if our laws reflected that it's a human, wouldn't that clear things up quite a bit? And I think it would. And if you treated babies in the womb the same way we treat people outside of the womb, if the legal system when it comes to murder would treat some murder of a human being in both stages the same way, then we wouldn't have as much confusion on this issue.

What this pastor is advocating for, though, is, I think, a greater confusion on it because we want to stop abortion, we want it illegal, we want to punish it, but we want to stop when it comes to the woman because it's ignorance.

And if it's ignorance, we shouldn't bring legal pressure somehow. We shouldn't have a legal penalty for that if it's the woman doing it in ignorance. And I just would challenge someone who makes that case, where do you find this in scripture?

And I'm not talking about passages in the New Testament that are appropriated incorrectly, which is what he just used. So I don't think this logic flies at all. This isn't a template for how to build civil laws, but this is the logic that was presented.

It's the only logic that I saw presented in this, this whole video, and the whole body there, the Louisiana Baptist Convention, decided to reject this. And so my question is, can the SBC win in Louisiana even?

That's a scary thought for some of you because you think, man, surely Louisiana's conservative. I don't know how conservative they are. I don't know. So I figured I'd share that with you. Another SBC item here.

David Sills and the SBC Sexual Abuse Crisis

David Sills files suit against the SBC and 11 other defendants, claiming his relationship with Lyell was consensual and he became a scapegoat in the SBC sexual abuse crisis. Now, I'm not gonna read this whole article.

You can go read it if you want. It's at baptistnews .com. But for those who listen to this podcast, you probably remember me talking about this because this is a big deal. And most notably, this came up in the guidepost recommendations.

They had a whole report. And in that report, one of the main cases they drew upon to justify their claim that essentially abuse is systemic in the SBC is this guy, David Sills, who was a professor at Southern Seminary and what he did to Jennifer Lyell.

And it's a Me Too moment, right? And I'm obviously summarizing. Those aren't exact quotes from the report, but David Sills loomed large. Now, they never called David Sills, according to Megan Basham. They never reached out to him.

They just went with basically the narrative that Mueller had concocted about this whole situation. And now that's falling apart, thanks to Megan Basham's reporting and just crazy things in the Lyell situation that don't make sense.

Like, why would you rendezvous with the person that's supposedly abusing you at a long distance and meet in the middle somewhere for abuse? Like, that doesn't make sense. There's things like that that don't add up.

And now people are asking questions about it. And now David Sills is taking legal action on this situation. So I think this doesn't look good for Al Mueller, the Me Too movement in the SBC, and certainly the Guidepost Solutions report.

And it depends, I don't know where this is gonna go, but it just, you know, David Sills was just assumed to be this really guilty party in this. And now he's saying, look, this was consensual. This was not abuse.

This was, the way you portrayed me is wrong. And so he's taking action. So we'll keep an eye on that, see where that's going. Let's see, let's get into this now. I'll see if I can pull it up on here. I don't know, let's see here.

I should be, yep, I think I can do it. So we're gonna start in on this stuff with Thomas Accord and what's happening on Twitter right now. And I'll explain to the best of my ability as we go, as far as I understand it, what's happening.

And I'm a little bit at a loss of how to order this. So I'm gonna start with the attack, and then we're gonna work our way to some of the arguments that are being presented. And then I'm gonna give you Thomas's side of the story.

We're gonna read it, because he wrote a whole thing today on this. And then we'll end with, I'll show you where you can go to support his family, essentially. Or you could buy Stephen Wolfe's book, because Stephen Wolfe was gonna give his proceeds from the book, at least his royalties, to Thomas Accord during this holiday season when his family doesn't have an income.

The Twitter Smear Campaign Against Thomas Accord

So it starts here. This is a gentleman by the name of Alistair Roberts, Alistair Roberts. And I'm not intimately familiar with Alistair Roberts, but apparently, in certain niche circles and in certain places, he's fairly popular.

I was not aware of this until very recently. I think Theopolis, if I'm not mistaken, is one of the outlets that he's at. The Davenport Institute, I think, is another one. It's like little think tanks that are semi-Christian conservative-ish.

So anyway, it's immaterial, except for the fact that if what you're about to hear disturbs you, I would say you contact those organizations and let them know that, especially if you're someone listening and you're affiliated with those organizations, I would check into it.

I would wonder why Alistair is doing this. So here is where this whole situation starts. Alistair Roberts. He posts some screenshots from an account that is claimed to be an Anon account or a pseudonym for Thomas Accord.

Now, Thomas Accord has been on this podcast. He co-hosts the Ars Politica podcast with Stephen Wolfe. He co-wrote a book called Who Is My Neighbor with Daryl Dow. Trying to think what else. I mean, really, I don't think there's a whole lot more to it.

He works at a school. He was a headmaster at a Christian school up until recently because this situation has caused him to lose his job, essentially. And what Alistair Roberts says is that he is citing a Neil Shenvey thread that he thinks is really important.

Where Neil Shenvey's talking about we can't import these problematic ideas under the guise of Christian nationalism. And he says, I agree. There is a sort of Christian nationalism that is sort of identity politics that self-consciously develops itself with critical race theory as its foil and mirror.

This is Stephen Wolfe's podcast co-host, Thomas Accord, on the subject. And he posts these screenshots. Accord, who principally tweets, and he gives a Twitter handle, has developed the idea of white anti-fragility and white identity consciousness raised through exploitation of the mirror of critical race theory in an article on the Identity Dixie website.

I wasn't aware, I don't even know what that website is, but he's saying he wrote this problematic blog. It is quite possible that Wolfe, so Stephen Wolfe, who wrote The Case for Christian Nationalism, is number one book on the subject.

He's getting a lot of acclaim because of this. He says, it's quite possible that Wolfe disagrees sharply with Accord on the identity of the ethnos on whose behalf they are working, but it would be a little surprising.

And then someone comments and said, this is demonic. It's Darwinian racialism. And anyone who knows Thomas Accord knows he's not a Darwinian racialist at all. But this is so horrible. How could Thomas say these things?

And I'll show you what those are in a minute. And Allister says, yes, yes, he affirms. He's changed his account several times in the last week or so. He first changed it from 2AAD to Tullius Adland, which reveals his other account and a couple of articles he has written on white identitarian sites under that pseudonym.

Okay, so the evidence so far that this account that you're about to see some tweets from is Thomas Accord so far is that there are some links, this account linked to some Thomas Accord stuff. And this name, Tullius Adland, this pseudonym has been used in other places, and it looks like it's Thomas Accord.

So that's what we have going for us at this point. I'll share with you some more evidence, supposedly, as we go through this. Here are the problematic tweets, okay, that supposedly Thomas Accord put out there.

But again, we don't know this is actually Thomas Accord. This is someone named Tullius Adland. That's the Twitter handle. And here is the tweet. An anti-fragile system is not one that foresees black swan events, but one that gains strength from them, like that Death Star ring in the fifth element.

Now, I wanna say, first of all, you don't even have to read anymore. This isn't Thomas's writing. It's not his writing style. I noticed that immediately with this. I thought, that's really curious that Thomas would write this way, because it doesn't sound anything like Thomas.

Thomas is very educated. I mean, he's a headmaster at a private classical school. He's an author. He's, the podcast that he, the political podcast, social podcast that he does, you have to have some familiarity with the classical education.

You have to have some familiarity with Greco-Roman literature and things to even understand what he's talking about. He does not talk like this, and he doesn't write like this. And this was my first clue in my mind when I saw this, that this might not actually be Thomas Accord.

But so far, the claim is that he is, and because Alastair Roberts says so. Alastair Roberts says this is Thomas Accord. So it goes on. Anyway, a robust race realist, white nationalism can be anti-fragile regarding cultural Marxism, critical race theory, wokeism, BLM, et cetera, by accepting their premises of standpoint epistemology, systemic racism, white privilege, et cetera.

Now here's another clue for me. I know Thomas Accord doesn't believe in standpoint epistemology, and Stephen Wolf certainly doesn't, because they've actually said things against this on their podcast.

They've actually, I mean, I think I've even had conversations. I don't, I'm not like a very close friend with Thomas at all, but I've interacted with him through like Facebook chat and things like that before on various things.

And, or social media chats. I can't remember if it was Facebook, but this isn't, this doesn't reflect his views, because I know that his views don't coincide with this, because we've talked about things like this.

I've asked him questions about things like this. Anyway, yes, different groups see things differently and have different ways of knowing and perceiving. Hence, we should separate our educational processes to allow white and black children to flourish best within educational methods and testing that best suit their epistemic standpoint.

So this is an argument for segregation. Yes, racism is interwoven into every facet of society. It has always been and always will be, because race is natural, affecting everyone about our lives. I'm gonna just skip ahead here.

Let's get to the final thing here. White privilege exists because our ancestors were productive, strong, inventive, foresighted, and concerned for their posterity. This is natural and it's called social capital.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children and children's children, so does a good society. Okay, so when you just look at this thread, what do you think? Let's pretend it's Thomas, as Alistair Roberts says it is.

Okay, let's just pretend that for a minute. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but let's just, for the sake of argument, it's Thomas. If this is Thomas, is this an affirmation of white nationalism or an ideology like that, or is this just a reducto ad absurdum?

Is this someone saying, well, if we're gonna accept through critical race theory, then I guess we could also accept white nationalism because, man, they really do seem to sound very similar. I mean, that's the whole premise of that viral video on YouTube of the racist and the critical race theorist agreeing on just about everything.

And it's a funny video. You can go look it up. And I mean, a lot of people have pointed this out before that, hey, this critical race theory stuff does sound a little bit like white supremacy. It's just, it's flipped in some ways, but it's like the same, a lot of the same assumptions.

So whoever this is, let's pretend it's Thomas, just says a robust race realist can, the key word there, can be anti-fragile regarding cultural Marxism, et cetera. So this could be just a hypothetical thread showing that, look, if you're gonna accept critical race theory, then this would also make sense.

So it may be an argument against critical race theory. And that's what some people thought initially. Here's Neil Shenvey. Neil Shenvey jumped right on this. Neil Shenvey said, listen, this is not a guilt by association argument.

I do not know if Wolf agrees with these tweets, but we can't pretend that some of the ideas that wrap themselves in the banner of Christian nationalism aren't precisely those we reject when they're promoted by critical race theory.

And he retweets Alistair Roberts on what I just showed you. I'm trying to be consistent here. I'm attacking ideas, not people. I'm citing explicit statements. I'm not speculating about motives, but we should oppose these ideas no matter where they're origin, regardless of which tribe they're coming from for the health of the church.

Okay. But he's retweeting Alistair Roberts with, there's no filter here. There's no, I mean, there's no challenge to the idea that maybe this is Thomas. It doesn't say Thomas Accord anywhere, but it's just, and the added assumption, not just that it's Thomas, but that this is an affirmation of white nationalism somehow.

So here walks in Nate Fisher. Nate Fisher says to Neil, it appears to me to be a reductio ad absurdum to push on someone advocating critical race theory. Have you yourself not made the point that some of critical race theory's claims align with those of white supremacists?

What leads you to assume that Accord actually advocates these views and that they are promoted as Christian nationalism? That's a good question. It doesn't say anything about Christian nationalism. Neil Shenvey.

He goes, see the article in Alistair's thread. And so it's an article Neil Shenvey wrote about, it's a review of Stephen Wolfe's book. Nate says, it looks like a thought exercise exploring logical and rhetorical techniques to repel the sort of hostile ideological attacks we are bombarded with.

Neil Shenvey says, I want no part of it, either as a logical or rhetorical technique. So there's no evidence that actually comes out here about whether this is Thomas, whether this is an actual attempt to advance white nationalism or supremacy or anything of that kind.

It's just assumed. And this is part of the problem is this just goes unchallenged. People uncritically retweet this. You have this guy named Jacob Honeycutt who comes out. And some of these people, I realize you're not gonna know who some of these people are.

I think it's just important for me to give you at least some. There's a lot, but some of the main players in this because the end result was a man who was working for a school is not working there anymore as a result of stuff like this coming up.

And these are the people that carried water. These are the people that shared uncritically this tweet from Alistair Roberts. So here's one of them, Jacob Honeycutt. He goes, hey, Stephen Wolfe, did you know that your friend Thomas Accord, the co-host of your podcast, is an open segregationist and white nationalist and to boot makes weird pedophiliac comments.

Now, hold on, hold on. Now I'm supposed to believe that this crass language, this language that doesn't sound anything like Thomas, it's not his style. It's doesn't, you know, advocating things he doesn't agree with.

He doesn't agree with standpoint theory. Now I'm supposed to believe that that account also, which advocates pedophilia or makes weird comments about it is Thomas. Here's the new piece of evidence. And you're gonna see throughout this whole thing, new tweets from this anonymous account keep coming forward.

I hate to point out, but the cuties are ugly. This isn't a sexual comment. They're just not comely children. They have horse faces and donkey teeth. They cast and scripted and produced all this, but got girls whom we all know will grow to be, I don't, I can't read what it says there, fives at most, rating girls.

That doesn't sound like Thomas. I'm just telling you this. And it's not just because of the content, it's the grammar. This is locker room talk. Thomas is the headmaster at a classical school. He doesn't sound like that.

I've never heard him like that. And none of the people that are close to him that I've been able to talk to about this, to ask what's going on, seem to recognize who this guy is either. It doesn't sound like the friend that they've known in some cases for decades.

So Jacob Honeycutt, just uncritically, well, Stephen Wolfe, did you know your friend that you know so well? He makes weird comments about pedophilia. I don't want to hear any excuses here. I don't wanna hear thanks for reading the book.

I don't wanna hear anything about how people are screeching and wailing on something. What is up with this? Did you know? And if not, how are you going to respond? There is no universe in which any of what Thomas said above is even remotely acceptable.

It is a damnable, I mean, he just rages. He just goes, you need to repent. It's just, but again, the assumption of all of this is Thomas is actually the one saying this. And there's, no one at this point has reached out to Thomas.

There's been no communication from Thomas on any of this either. And then, you know, Stephen Wolfe blocks him and Jacob Honeycutt says, well, this is how he's chosen to respond. Immature and unacceptable.

Well, I would suggest to you, immature and unacceptable is uncritically passing off tweets that you haven't vetted. That, you know, that's, you gotta be careful with this stuff. I mean, it's not like the Bible is silent on this.

It's actually very serious. If I could just even read for you some things. Exodus 21 .3, you shall not spread a false report. Okay, this is going, this is not just about you originating a false report.

You shall not spread one. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be malicious witness. Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets. Therefore do not associate with a simple babbler. Proverbs 20, 19.

Proverbs 11, nine. With his mouth, a godless man would destroy his neighbor. But by knowledge, the righteous are delivered. The Bible is full of this kind of stuff. I mean, and that's really the point of, thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

It's not even just about lying. It's deeper than that. It's about harming someone by bearing false witness against them. Lying to hurt, to harm. And so if you're carrying the water for that, if that's what's going on, oh, you better be very certain that that's not what you're doing.

And this is a very, very serious thing. And I hope everyone can see that. So we go on. Jacob Honeycutt adds some more evidence, okay? And this just keeps getting worse, I think, for the case that this is Thomas.

And these, add these to the collection of racist tweets from Thomas Accord. Here they are. And I'm not gonna read all these. Some of them are honestly so offensive. I just, when I saw this, it was, I made up my mind at that point.

And I said, this isn't Thomas. And I, again, I don't know him intimately, but I know him well enough to just know if he was going to articulate these reprehensible views, he would do so in a very articulate fashion.
