A Gentle Introduction to Michael Sisco
Memoirs From the Gulag. JK Maybe someday.
Greetings substackers. It is my hope that some of my followers from over the years follow me here and continue to enjoy and learn from my content. For those who aren’t familiar with who I am, you’re probably in the majority, so no shame to you. However I have had a very public life for the past 3 or 4 years, primarily due to my involvement in politics, and an association with other political dissidents such as Nicholas J. Fuentes. I remain an ardent supporter of his today, despite continuous pressure over the years to disassociate and disavow. I’m not one to do that sort of thing, for personal gain. Perhaps that is why my career as a politician was short lived. Anyhow, allow me to give myself a proper introduction. I became an Orthodox Christian in June of 2014, which turned my worldview upside down. I began to question all of my prior assumptions, and my sources of authority obviously shifted from the secular liberal institutions to the Orthodox Church. I spent years studying political theory, philosophy, and history all on my own, developing a systematic reactionary worldview compatible with my new faith, as taught and understood by the Church Fathers who I also studied. After this time of study, in which I read hundreds of books, I felt compelled to share my views with others in the hope of making some sort of positive change in society. Lofty goal for sure, but I’ve also always believed in telling the truth for truth's sake regardless if any change comes from it. It just seems like a virtuous thing to do despite coming at a great personal cost. My first foray into public life was my podcast, “Hearth & Fire.” Perhaps some of you remember. I often featured guests, such as Dr. E Michael Jones. Initially the subject was strictly political theory, but I couldn’t help but to venture into other subjects that I’m passionate about, such as Orthodox Christianity. Somehow after dedicating a show to critiquing Democracy, I managed to work in politics. From a Team Leader on Trump Victory, to Political Director, Campaign Manager for federal campaigns, and eventually a candidate myself. I’ve made a lot of friends along the way, such as Right Wing Watch, Daily Beast, and my favorite fangirl, Sarah Riccardi-Swarz. I’ve also hosted a few conferences, “The Trad Forum,” and even hosted a YouTube show, which was kind of a continuation of my old podcast. However, at some point a few years back I stopped making my own content, mostly just due to personal circumstances. I’ve relocated to Texas, and have joined an amazing Orthodox Christian community not far from Houston. Meanwhile, my public appearances have been limited to my Twitter, an occasional appearance on The Killstream with Ethan Ralph, and wrestling for Ralphamania. Yes, I’m a Pro-Wrestler too. And the biggest news, I’ve recently gotten married to a beautiful pious woman from Church. Now that I’m settled down a bit in the wonderful East Texas countryside, I’ve decided to re-engage society beyond Tweeting. I still have the urge to spread the truth. I want to build more awareness of the flaws in the system from which our society is governed, with hope for something better emerging as things spiral out of control. In tandem to that, I want to spread the Orthodox Faith. Frankly, that is necessary to understand in order to see the lies in the post-enlightenment assumptions that serve as the foundation to Liberal Democratic political theory.
My commitment to you, reader, is at least one quality opinion piece a week. One article per month will be free, the others for subscribers only. Considering my business, and family life, I believe that this is a reasonable commitment. Perhaps once I get in a bit of a groove I’ll post more. I’ll continue writing about subjects that interest me most, a blend of American Politics, Geopolitics, Political Theory, History, and Orthodox Christianity. All of my views in any subject are seen through the lens of Patristic Orthodoxy, however some of my content will be explicitly religious. In particular I have an interest in contrasting Orthodox Christianity with modern Judaism. I may use this platform for that as well. God Bless!
