Night of the Living Refugees

Recently, our beloved migrants- of untold numbers from all over the world, have been in the forefront of the news. Well, when I say all over the world, I should emphasize it’s the nonwhite world. That’s an integral feature of this ugly phenomenon. And it’s more essential to the Great Replacement than Affirmative Action ever was.

First, we heard about Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment buildings in Chicago. The police were said to be oddly disinterested, as were the local authorities. A mayor...

The Rise of the Western Nuclear Family and the “European Miracle”

It’s now been nearly 35 years since E.L. Jones first published his watershed book The European Miracle. Jones’s history of Europe’s economic development examined the reasons why Europe—a comparatively poor and backward part of the world in the Middle Ages—somehow became the wealthiest and most productive place on earth in the nineteenth century. The fundamental question remains: why did Europe surpass other civilizations1such as Islam and China—which had once been much richer than the west?

Acco...

It Seems Certain That the Bulk of Humanity Lives in a Myopic State of Being

“To think that we grasp the fullness of life is to say that by holding a mere drop of water in our hands we are able to understand the immensity of the ocean.”

~  Craig D. Lounsbrough

Please excuse today’s change of pace, my drifting away from the excrement called ‘news, and ‘reporting’ that consumes our lives every day, and stepping into the philosophical realm in order to hopefully mellow the mood for just a few minutes in an attempt to expand horizons. I know it is useful for me, and hope som...

The Truth About Robert E. Lee

Over a relatively short span of time, Robert E. Lee went from being one of the most admired figures in American history to being one of the most despised. Hatred for Lee heated up with the Charlottesville riots in 2017, then reached a boiling point in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in 2020 when angry mobs condemned Lee as a racist defender of slavery and a traitor.

Lee’s name became synonymous with white supremacy and has now been removed from military bases, schools, streets, and even Le...

The Unappreciated Benefits of Natural Light

Note: I have spent the last 3 months working on a DMSO series which I will begin releasing over the weekend. In the meantime, I’ve released a few abridged versions of the articles I received the most requests to summarize here (today’s one is a condensed version of an article that takes a deeper look into the remarkable effects of light on living organisms).

I’ve gradually become convinced that sunlight is one of the most vital nutrients for our bodies. For instance, as humans migrated north fro...

Free Speech Website Launched w/out Elon Musk or Back Door Government Portal

Col. Douglas MacGregor, chief executive officer of the grass roots American patriot organization, Our Country-Our Choice (OC/OC) has recently announced it has launched its own free speech internet platform called http://www.republic.us.  Re:Public.us” can be accessed either free or by paid subscription ($15/month) and is location-based for each state (e.g., Arizona, California, Texas, etc.). This is in keeping with OC/OC’s goal of building a bottom’s up local movements in each state focused on:

Playing With Nuclear Power

Republicans in the US Senate have been urging the White House to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles that can strike deep into Russia.  Such is the madness of pro-war sentiment.   

America’s lackluster Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, has apparently confirmed that Washington plans to shortly deliver such strategic weapons to Ukraine. This week, Britain’s new prime minister arrived in Washington to discuss more strategic arms for Ukraine.

One is vividly reminded of the mobs of idiots who...

The Post-Vatican II Pseudo-Spiritual Movement

After the Second Vatican Council, having received no help to inspire a new spiritual revival and reluctant to reintroduce the old moral spirituality that had failed before, there was a new “pseudo-spiritual movement,” seen most clearly in religious life. This new “movement” was to do what the old moral spirituality had failed to do.

While Marxism was developed into Liberation Theology in South America and was seen as the way to change the world, it was Depth Psychology that was developed in Euro...

The Big Collapse Awaits

In the 1970s when I served in the congressional staff and in the 1980s when I served in the executive branch, there was still some intelligence in the US government, with the exception of the Federal Reserve, where there has never been any intelligence.

Today there is no sign of intelligence anywhere in the US government. That fact is documented every day on my website.

As I recently reported, about 900,000 new jobs that had been claimed over the preceding year have just disappeared in a revisio...

The Ukraine Sacrifice – Kursk Invasion Hastens Ukraine Defeat, Boris Johnson’s Disastrous Legacy, War Crimes in Kursk

Up to a million Ukrainians are now killed or wounded in the futile war. The 20 year long attack on Ukraine by the West, overturning elected governments, using the country as a battering ram to bring about “regime change in Moscow” and “break up Russia” has been a catastrophe for the people of Ukraine.

The country’s infrastructure and energy installations are largely destroyed, the valuable minerals and industrial base in the East have been lost, millions have fled the country, the youth is being...
