Why Is Canada Euthanizing Healthy Teenagers? [briefing #7]
Laws have been passed that make it “easy” to put people to death in Canada. If unbearable suffering used to be a criteria to apply for euthanasia, nowadays a mere case of hearing loss or tinnitus qualifies one for being put to death. And it gets worse: Canada wants to start euthanizing teenagers without their parents consenting or even knowing.

How Is American Christianity Different from European? [briefing #6]
Reading books by guru Napoleon Hill, I noticed how Hill intertwined dreams of material wealth with a deep Christian conviction. I then realized that American Christianity underwent this change during the early 20th century and American religious worship became somewhat synonymous with material gain. It’s why the ‘show churches’ were born, promoting faith as though it were a rock concert.

Humanity's Operating Principles: Greed and Laziness [briefing #5]
We know people are herd animals, but what are people’s base operating principles? Well, it’s a simple cost-benefit analysis. If defending one’s values costs money or effort (without clear rewards), people won’t do it. And if allowing the destruction of one’s values doesn’t cost one anything (delayed cost!), they will allow it.

Escaping the Madhouse [briefing #4]
How did we come to value diversity over strength? Gender over biology? Character over fate? Only in the age of grandiose narcissism could we begin to dismiss the humble thoughtfulness of European thinkers while praising the rabid stupidity of ignorant mobs burning down our neighborhoods? Yet, mainstream media prefer reporting that Meghan is a “truly reMarkable person” and they declare the emptiness of that woman’s being the new measure of man. We have replaced the heart of Western philosophy wit...

China's Psychological Warfare Compels Us to Embrace Morality [briefing #3]
The Twitter Files revealed that Democrats, and Democrat-aligned FBI agents, paid Twitter staff members to censor certain sides of the Truth. But who is paying the Democrats? How many in Biden’s Administration are on China’s payroll? It matters, for a Chinese war on the West may not involve, as we are accustomed to, the use of conventional penetrative weapons such as bayonets, bullets and bombs, but rather the total war tactics of poisoning our resolve. Remember that David took out Goliath using ...

World Soccer and Racial Politics [briefing #2]
A quite-white Argentinian soccer team beat an almost all-black ‘French’ colonial team. And when, one day, a black soccer team will finally beat the white finalists, media around the world shall proclaim “black people are a superior race of soccer players”. Why can’t Europe be more like Asia and stick with indigenous players?

Why Does Inflation Happen? [ep. #33]
Inflation leads to recession, and recession leads to depression (massive unemployment). Western economies are trying to avoid doom by inflating the money supply to increase government spending, and by opening the borders to bring in more potential consumers for the economy. But both are temporary fixes that cannot solve the problem, namely that materialism has run out of steam. If we want to survive, we must return our peoples to more traditional lifestyles.
