The Great Silencing: the Weaponization of Loneliness

The Atlantic re-published Saturday a long, somewhat clunky analysis by Jean M Twenge, which elaborated on the alienation experienced by late Millennials and GenZ. She charts the piece well. The young are simply not spending physical time with each other. They are online, on Snapchat and the other socials, building their own deeply private worlds. They are not dating, they are not having sex, they are not marrying and they are not joining the work force with any enthusiasm. Too many are settling ...

The Rapidly Emerging Rule of Tyranny in the West

An 18 year old mother put her baby in a dumpster with a trash compactor. The police found the baby’s remains wrapped in a mattress protector inside a zipped-up duffel bag. Evil must have taken a large step forward for a mother to do this to her baby. See here.

I can imagine Jakayla Williams thinking that if she had aborted the baby there would be no complaint, so why can’t she put the baby in the dumpster?

Legalized abortion, that is legalized murder, has left women insensitive to murder.  Conse...

Understanding the Difference Between Credit and Real Money

Due to its abuse pariculaly by governments, it is credit which presents the greatest risk to our finances today. To appreciate why this is so requires an understanding of what credit represents, and how it differs from real money, which is physical gold without counterparty risk. Credit is always matched by debt: your financial asset is always someone else’s obligation. The collapse of credit’s value happens when a currency (which is also credit) is not attached by exchangeability to gold. That ...

History: The Great Replacement of History, Science, & Medicine

Hammurabi Law:   48. If any one owe a debt for a loan, and a storm prostrates the grain, or the harvest fail, or the grain does not grow for lack of water; in that year he need not give his creditor any grain, he washes his debt-tablet in water and pays no rent for this year .  ~ 2000 – 3000BC

What is interesting about this quote is that it is written in The Code of Hammurabi via the king of all gods Anu – in Hindu Mythology.   Once again giving rise to the ancient historical concept that mythol...

War Is Bad for You — And the Economy

Joe Biden wants you to believe that spending money on weapons is good for the economy. That tired old myth — regularly repeated by the political leaders of both parties — could help create an even more militarized economy that could threaten our peace and prosperity for decades to come. Any short-term gains from pumping in more arms spending will be more than offset by the long-term damage caused by crowding out new industries and innovations, while vacuuming up funds needed to address other urg...

One Health Is a Massive Globalist Grantmaking Scam

I have said that a lot of things are stupid here at the plague chronicle. Most recently, I said the proposed WHO Pandemic Agreement is stupid. I have also said that Following the Science is stupid, that the campaign of the German Health Ministry against summer heat waves was stupid, that the booster campaign was stupid, that mask mandates were stupid, that mass containment was stupid, that the CDC’s pamphlet on “safer sex and monkeypox” was stupid, that fact-checkers are stupid, that politically...

Silent Witnesses

The past week or so has been quite the spectacle if you’re a fan of Judge Judy or The Jerry Springer Show. As our “justice” system did its own version of Soviet show trials, its brightest anti-Trump heroines were revealed to be caricatures of feminine courage. Their testimonies were not truthful, unless you wanted to know Fani Willis’ favorite alcohol—Grey Goose, in case you missed it.

Regardless of your feelings about the ever-triggering Trump, it’s disheartening to see our Constitution trample...

From Sexual Segregation to Gender Integration

Once upon a time, long, long ago, in a land that now seems alien to us, sexual segregation was the order of the day. There were men’s bathrooms, and there were women’s bathrooms, and never the twain would meet.

Dormitories at colleges were separated by gender. Strictly so. Some were for males; others were for females. They were not located cheek by jowl, either. There were even curfews for all girl students, none for boys. At the same age, females were more mature than males. These restrictions ...

Letter from CPAC

Forgive my recent silence. I’ve been occupied with the presentation by Maine State Representative Heidi Sampson of our Clean Elections Bill to the Legislative Council. This took place last Thursday, and it would have been the first step in the journey of the bill from draft bill to law in that state, had the Council voted to endorse it. Instead, after a spirited presentation of the bill by Rep Sampson, the Council voted, incredibly enough, not to endorse it; meaning, our Clean Elections Bill, wh...

After Two Years, Neocons Desperate For More War in Ukraine

In a recent CNN interview, the normally very confident US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland sounded a little desperate. She was trying to make the case for Congress to pass another $61 billion dollars for the neocons’ proxy war project in Ukraine and she was throwing out the old slogans that the neocons use when they want funding for their latest war.

Asked by CNN whether she believes that Congress will eventually pass the bill, Nuland responded that she has confidence that, “we will do w...
