The Universal Authority of St. Thomas Aquinas

In the post-conciliar age, there is often a tendency to look to the times preceding the Second Vatican Council and find attitudes that we can blame the whole crisis on. This is not an attitude unique to those who seek to save the Council from the “Spirit of the Council”; it is also found among traditionalists, who I believe don’t wish to seem unhinged by pretending that all our problems began in the 1960s. One of the so-called problems that can be presented is what is said to be the over-emphasi...

Life Trumps All

So far, freer nations haven’t ended deprivations of life.

For now, Republican president Abraham Lincoln gets lauded for ending deprivations of blacks’ liberty, even though he provoked and escalated war, which caused deprivations of life, of free men’s liberty, and of property.

Meanwhile, many founders, and, later, Democratic presidents, were otherwise outstanding at protecting life, free men’s liberty, and property, but they now have their legacies fall under the shadow of their failures to take...

Andrew Tate and the Art of Selling

Like most people, I am turned off by the stereotypical salesman personality. Saleswomen, too, although they are easier to tolerate if attractive enough. I know, I’m superficial. I’m not sure about transgender salespersons and their pronouns. But there is bound to be a receptive market for them in this crazed “Woke” society.

I was inspired to write this while thinking about Andrew Tate. I don’t really know why Tate is famous, much as I don’t know why most people who are famous are. I think he was...

The Great Murray Rothbard

Murray Rothbard was the chief architect of modern anarcho-capitalism, an uncompromising vision of a stateless society rooted in private property and voluntary association. He built upon classical liberal thought, particularly the ideas of John Locke and the individualist anarchism of 19th-century thinkers like Lysander Spooner and Benjamin Tucker. However, unlike his predecessors, Murray fused these ideas with the Austrian School of economics, providing a rigorous theoretical foundation for the ...

Eurotard Hysteria Achieves New Heights

For three years we have had war in Ukraine, masterminded on the NATO side by senile warmonger-in-chief Joe Biden. This war included bizarre moments, like direct attacks on German energy infrastructure, and also escalatory brinksmanship, as when Biden authorised long-range missile strikes within Russian territory, and the Russians responded with a not-so-subtle threat of nuclear retaliation. Throughout all of this madness, the Europeans slept, sparing hardly a single thought for their defence. No...

Europe Wants War So It Can Sell Bonds

After the Austrian Archduke and heir to the throne, Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, the Austrian court felt compelled to strike a blow against Serbia and its encouragement of nationalism in the Balkans. And so, the Austrian court issued an ultimatum to the Serbian government.

Everyone with any brains in Europe understood there was no way Serbian Regent Crown Prince Alexander could accept the ultimatum, because doing so amounted to ceding Serbian sovereignty to the...

Astroturf Activism: How the US Government and NGOs Created ‘Gay Pride’ From Thin Air

Growing up in America through the 1980s and 1990s there was a general sense of “live and let live” among Gen X and Gen Y that truly defined the era and our notions of what a society should look like. We all knew gay people were a permanent fixture in society. For the most part nobody bothered them and they kept their gayness to themselves (and far away from children). Frankly, it was working just fine.

There were some protests and marches, but the only “individual right” straight people had that...

Every Vote for a Democrat Is an Attack on America

America has only one enemy–the Democrat Party, an anti-American party, an anti-white party, a party of national destruction and replacement of America with a Tower of Babel, a party committed to the destruction of normality and its replacement with Sodom and Gomorrah perversity, an ideological party alienated from the country it is destroying.

It uses the taxpayers’ money to attack America. A $375 Billion EPA slush fund handled by John Podesta gave billions  of dollars to “charities” founded to ...

De-Dollarization Was Always More of a Political Slogan Than a Pecuniary Fact

Any breakthrough in Russian-US relations would inevitably disappoint those multipolar enthusiasts who bought into the most ideologically dogmatic narratives of the New Cold War and consequently believed that Russia would forever eschew the dollar out of principle.

The three-year-long NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine contributed to the belief that the international community had bifurcated into the West and the World Majority respectively, with the outcome of the aforesaid conflict determining w...
