I don't like to burst anyone's bubble, but Jonathon Van Maren also writes for Times of Israel. Without doubt he produces some good work, but it certainly makes me wonder why Lifesitenews chose him.
Perhaps LSN is unaware of his Jєωιѕн connections, or perhaps it isn't and chose him for that very reason; that is, to give itself some street cred with the (((Establishment))).
I incline to the latter opinion, not least because Van Maren is a Canadian and writes a great deal for Canadian publications of all sorts. Everyone who writes professionally knows that Canadian journalism is even less open to contrarian opinion than US journalism, as hard as some might find that to believe. To gain admission to any area of influence, the masters of Canadian social, political, and journalistic policy require a candidate to have a mind-set that invariably prefers the foreign-born to the native-born, the Third World to the European, the nonwhite to the white, the Muslim to the Christian, and the Jєω to any and all others.
Given Van Maren's youth, his inexperience, his pretentiousness, and despite all these liabilities his success, it seems reasonable to suppose that he is an agent of managed opposition. Put otherwise, he pushes a few buttons on an issue or two where Catholics are unaccustomed to seeing any mainstream support, and in so doing he acquires an instant reputation as being someone on "our" side. His bona fides having once been established, he can then proceed to divert attention away from the true evildoers (guess who?) and toward some real but distinctly secondary irritant, like so-called liberals or boomers or sushi fanciers. That his stance is little more than a pose will, unfortunately but predictably, escape the attention of insufficiently critical readers, as it did here and elsewhere with donkath and as similar frauds have done on occasions too numerous to reckon with VCR and a few others. Thus the importance and, what is more, the virtue in your calling Van Maren out for what he is.
