About the Owner

WHO ARE WE?

 

TheO editors have more than twenty-five years of experience in journalism with an extensive network of contacts to politicians, specialists, and public and private personas. It allows us to bring confirmed news and reliable opinions.

We want to build trust with our audience based on a truthful, accurate editorial approach, providing the highest quality information and opinion.

 

WE ARE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MEDIA, INCLUDING "CITIZEN JOURNALISTS"

Thousands of political and cultural filters prevent the audience from accessing accurate and complete reports. This diagnosis correctly describes the current sorry state of mainstream news and opinion media, from so-called newspapers of the record to major commercial television channels and stations. We reject many methods and means of modern "journalism", including:

  • Ideological filter (Including gender philosophy dictate, naturalism etc.)
  • Political filter (For example, hastened labelling political opponents without a thorough analysis of their views.)
  • Technological filter (Employment of bots and other surveillance methods to monitor interests and activities of readers.)

We are very likely the only medium that meticulously strives for the preservation of the complete privacy of our audience. We do not spy on you, not even to check your IP (see our Privacy Policy).

OUR EDITORIAL LINE REFLECTS A BIBLICALLY FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW

Our commentary reflects a Biblically faithful Christian worldview that the media respected for most of the time and abandoned only before World War I.

We exert efforts to see things from God’s perspective, and to respond to those perceptions in the way that He would prescribe if He were to provide us with direct and personal revelation.

The statements that constitute foundation of our editorial line, include:

  • There are absolute moral truths; defining truth is not up to each individual.
  • The primary source of moral guidance is the Decalogue, the Bible.
  • Human dignity comes from being a child of God. It means that every person deserve to be treated with dignity.
  • History is the story of One and Only God, and that story is moving toward fulfillment according to God’s plan.
  • The culture based on unselfish admiration and awe of actions and works born in a man who cherishes truth, goodness, and beauty is a specific form of a person's social life. Such a life-giving culture makes life more humane. An existential confrontation of death with desire for eternal life that every person carries in their inner being permeates this culture.
  • Under the ultimate sovereignty of God, all sovereignty in the social order begins with the human personae”not institutions including the family, the State, organised religion, the business corporation, the labor union, or academia. (formulated by CESJ)
  • The essential means to achieve the sovereignty of the person include such inalienable human rights as the right to life, liberty, and access to productive property and free markets, equality of opportunity, and the secret ballot. These rights ”including the rights of property" are not ultimate ends in themselves, but they are intermediate ends or fundamental means to enable each person to pursue Truth, Beauty, Love and Justice.(formulated by CESJ)
  • People create tools, shaped from the resources and energies of nature, to support the economic and social sovereignty of the person. Through private property ownership, each person can become master of the technology needed to realize his or her fullest human potential and dignity. (formulated by CESJ)
