Gloves off, let's go!
No more Mr. Nice Guy
The immense amount of support you have shown me over the last week is far beyond what I ever imagined. Our GoFundMe campaign has just crossed the $8,000 barrier and Kokx News has surpassed 1,000 subscribers. May God reward you for your generosity!
In doing this, you are sending a LOUD and CLEAR message not only to LifeSiteNews but to Trad Inc. and the Conciliar Church. And what is that message? That you are fed up, and that you want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And that is what Kokx News is going to do.
As I mentioned on the Catholic Family podcast last week, I don’t pretend to be anyone important. In fact, most Traditional Catholics probably haven’t heard of me, despite me being in this “industry” for the past 15 years and having worked for some of its biggest names. I’ve also published two books and have appeared on dozens of podcasts — and spoken at multiple churches.
If you’d like to get a better understanding of where I’ve been, where I come from, and what my general outlook on the crisis is, click here to watch an interview I did with Brian McCall a couple years ago.
Onward with the truth
But the past is the past. Many are now wondering: what is Kokx News going to do now? To that we say: what it is you want us to do?
At minimum, we will continue to cover the crisis in the Church. But heads up, “hot takes” and “reaction videos” to breaking news stories are not going to be a common thing here. Everyone is doing this and it’s unoriginal. We should be looking at patterns and the larger picture. Grifting, in other words, is anathema.
Still, Gen Z lives on social media and they are in great need of rescuing from the lies of the Synodal Church. To that end, there are possible plans for a podcast. Others are telling us to continue writing on foreign policy (especially the Zionist lobby), as well as US politics and other topics Trads hold dear. If you have ideas on what we should cover, leave a comment below or message me on Substack.
Original content
Whatever you think of Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson (controlled opposition? bad actors?) what they create is pretty unique. I mean, MSNBC surely wouldn’t air an interview with the President of Iran — which Carlson himself did not long ago.
And that is what we are going to do here: produce original Catholic content. No more boring interviews with the same old conciliar theologians, lawyers, clergy, and boomer gatekeepers repeating stale arguments from 40 years ago. Kokx News is going to be a voice for the voiceless, a platform for the people.
We promise to find Catholics who are on the frontlines of this crisis — priests, nuns, laymen, and others who are making serious sacrifices to
Keep the faith alive
Get to the bottom of the BIG questions and
Who have unique perspectives on what is going on in the Church and world.
You might not like what they — or even what I — have to say at times. And that’s fine, or at least it should be. Because the way I see it we are all at different stages in this journey toward understanding the true nature of the crisis. “The shepherd is struck and the sheep are scattered,” Scripture tells us. We should therefore show immense charity towards (while also having honest conversations with) those sheep who either aren’t fully aware of these things yet or who see things slightly differently than us.
Disclaimer: Kokx News will not be put into a box or pigeonholed with labels, especially when it comes to certain topics Trads have serious disagreements over. We strive to be a place of fairness and inquisitiveness, and we look forward to doing this in our own way.
All things Catholicism, all things politics, and everything in between
So that is where we are and where we are going. For now, you can expect the following regular features in the days and weeks ahead.
Meme Mondays: Every Monday evening we will send out the wittiest political and Church-related memes making their way around the internet. 😎
Reality Check: Wednesday morning updates with brief comments on the latest news in the Church, the US, and World Affairs. Ideal for those who want headlines but with some spice on the side. 📺
Exclusive Interviews: Some of the biggest names in the Traditional movement have already agreed to speak with Kokx News via email and on camera. 🎤
Investigative Reporting and Hard-Hitting Analysis: Continued exposure of corrupt clergy, blackmailed politicians, and grifters who are deceiving the masses. Warning: not approved by the Vatican. 📢
Kokx’s Corner (working title): Personal reflections on eclectic topics such as spirituality, music, family life, the saints, and more. 🙏
Again, I can only bring you Kokx News if I receive your support. If that support is lacking, I may have to work for the parks department, which is a fine job — and one that I have done before — but one I would prefer to not do again. So if you find the things that I have to say helpful in any way, consider making a donation.
May God watch over you, protect you, and reward you for your generosity.
I would like to see you interview an official representative of every Trad Group of Priests, to have them clearly state their position of on the Crisis in the Church, what their group's role in the solution to the Crisis, what specifically makes them different than the other groups that hold similar positions, what makes them the same, what would it take for one group to work with the other.
Best of luck with your endeavours, Stephen.
