Infighting within Kremlin shillville reveals anti-capitalist Catholic E. Michael Jones a rich man, abusive, advocated divorce for son

Idaho-based agent provocateur David Reilly made several accusations Tuesday that call into question the legitimacy of the persona of famed alt Catholic personality E. Michael Jones.

Reilly’s post on X, which was soon after deleted, alleged that the 78-year-old Jones made millions with his help, was abusive to employees and even his own children, and encouraged his own son to get a divorce. Reilly, who once worked for Jones’s Culture Wars Magazine as a digital media producer and columnist, also alleged Jones had been slandering Reilly.

“I worked with EMJ and made him MILLIONS of dollars, and he has spent years seething and lying about me,” Reilly said in the post.

“I guess it’s fair game to reveal to the world that @EMichaelJones1 (sic) pressured his son Peter to get a divorce from his wife, which he had 10 kids with,” Reilly continued. “He’s also been abusive to both his employees and children.”

The outburst from Reilly, a popular online pro-Kremlin operative, follows an earlier post on X by Nathanael Kapner, another pro-Kremlin alt media personality, in which Kapner announced he would be appearing on a podcast with Jones this Friday to “expose pedo sex crimes of SSPX and David Reilly’s cover up”. It also follows a previous post several months ago where Reilly posted video footage of Jones apparently making the heil Hitler salute, to which Jones countered was merely made in jest and edited to make him look bad.

“This is your big ‘Catholic’ theologian everyone,” Reilly went on to mock Jones in the post.

That Jones might be abusive to those around him is disturbing, especially being a so called Catholic. American Attorney David Wemhoff, who apparently knew Jones, in 2016 described him as a “malignant narcissist”. Watching Jones on his videos and listening to his podcasts, it seems that Jones likes to dominate, so perhaps none of these accusations should come as a surprise.

Traditional Catholics tend to perceive Jones as being docile to the reforms made at the controversial Second Vatican Council, so if the accusation is true that Jones encouraged his son to get a divorce, something which is highly discouraged and difficult to obtain from the Church, according to traditional Catholic teaching, perhaps they are correct that Jones is indeed a modernist, or a wishy washy Catholic. Jones’ adherence to Catholic Orthodoxy is already in question due to his associations with occult perennialists like Alexander Dugin, Jones’ outspoken Islamophilia, and Jones’ fixation on the depersonalized and universalist descriptor for Jesus Christ as “Logos”. Jones has also been outspoken in condemning the Latin mass, which is the Church’s original form of the Holy Liturgy and is permitted in the Church even today, although scaled back in most parishes. An interesting anecdote can be found online favourable to Jones and mentions in passing that Jones wears sandals to mass (presumably the Novus Ordo mass). According to Catholic teaching, wearing sandals to mass is considered irreverent and inappropriate attire.

Lastly, the accusation by Reilly that Jones is a millionaire tends to show Jones as a hypocrite. While strongly denouncing capitalism and the West and being promoted by Marxist media outlets, he has no problem making a lucrative living, presumably selling books. There is a growing body of evidence that Jones might be pursuing a Communist agenda and certainly his anti-Western, pro-Eurasian rhetoric is useful to KGB objectives.

This latest controversy is highly ironic considering that all three players involved, Jones, Reilly, and Kapner, all seem to be pursuing the same anti-Western, pro-Kremlin agenda, although through slightly different means. Recently, Kapner claimed to have converted to Catholicism from Eastern Orthodoxy, to which Jones was very welcoming.

Reilly claimed he has a trove of documents on Jones’ dirty laundry and suggested he would release them, but as of this writing, nothing more has been posted on X by Reilly and his deleted post has not been re-instated.

Jones’ son Peter is not the son married to a Russian national that this author wrote about in 2023.
