France’s New Horribly Written Medical Law

On February 14, the French National Assembly passed a bill into law that was quickly criticized by medical freedom advocates. The bill’s nebulous title indicates that the proposed law is for opposing heretical religious or philosophical sects that the state deems dangerous to public health.

The title of the law is as follows:

PROJET DE LOI visant à renforcer la lutte contre les dérives sectaires et à améliorer l’accompagnement des victimes.

Translation: BILL aimed at strengthening the fight agai...

The False Christ of The Chosen

My generation first met the happy, hippie “Jesus” in our 1970s and ’80s CCD classes. He was a super-nice dude, not scary or stern or particularly demanding. This was a new, enlightened era, after all, and the old paradigms would no longer do. As I’ve often described of those vacuous catechetical times, “the God presented to us was a God who hardly needs to be worshipped, since he’s our pal…” It almost seemed like we remade Christ in our own image and then began to worship ourselves.

We were told...

The Brain Drain

In 1933, Albert Einstein renounced his German citizenship soon after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor. Although that left him without a legal home, he was welcomed in England and later, the US, and eventually became a US citizen in 1935.

This was quite a risky move at the time, as he had no certainty of a better life outside of Germany, or even a prospective job. But he saw the writing on the wall. As a man of reason, he focused not on the present condition in Germany, but where events would ultim...

Authoritarian Politics in Postwar Europe

Saturday’s post on the authoritarian turn in German politics has become one of the most widely shared pieces I’ve ever written. I am truly grateful to all of my readers for helping me report on what is happening in my country.

A great many have argued that my comparisons to the DDR are off-point. They suggest that National Socialism is a better historical analogy, and that we are seeing before us a re-manifestation of classic German fascist tendencies. I think this is a misreading, and at the ri...

Do Not Fall for the Demoralization Program

Absurdistan is not black-pilled. And believes that whenever you run into one of them, tell them they need a good long rest. They’ve overwrought their own minds. The black-pilled are part of the problem. Despair is the one unforgivable sin for a reason. All is not lost. Evil will be defeated, a lot of it this time, more than at any other time.

A system of suppression kills the economy. It destroys initiative, it creates stasis. That’s why these people have run up $33 Trillion in debt. Their econo...

2024 Is the Last Year of Free Speech and Democracy in the Western World

Don’t let the alarmist sound of this column’s title put you off.  It is not a “conspiracy theory.” This column is a factual report as you will see if you read on.

Everyone needs to understand that the ruling elite in the US are implementing a decision to redefine democracy in a way that eliminates democracy, makes Congress superfluous, voting pointless, and discards the Constitution as an outdated document inconsistent with the power the ruling elite intend to wield over Americans and the rest o...

The Rise and Fall of the Second Amendment

Everyone has undoubtedly heard about the shooting during the Super Bowl victory parade in Kansas City. These victory celebrations always bring the potential for trouble, what with all those young males consuming prodigious amounts of alcohol. And they draw the worst elements; the seemingly perpetually armed gang-bangers.

The shooting has triggered the yawningly predictable response from the “Woke” crowd. Which at this point means nearly our entire government and corporate leadership. One marvels...

Brandon, Rotting in the (White) House

“We are going to have the most diverse and inclusive civilizational collapse in history” — Oilfield Rando on “X”

Hark! We are informed this President’s Day by The New York Times that a poll out of the University of Houston, led by one prof of poly-sci named (get this name) Brandon Rottinghaus, ranks “Joe Biden” at No. 14, way above average among the forty-six demi-gods elected to run the US government since 1789. It’s a helluva good bit of news for a nation in need of reassurance in these dark ...

Four States Race To Stop ‘Great Taking’ of All Bank Accounts, Stocks, Bonds, Pensions Before Financial/Election Apocalypse

The good news is this “great taking” can be stopped at the state level. Americans don’t need to count on a divided Congress to get the job done. Because the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) is state law, state lawmakers can take concrete steps to restore the property rights of their constituents and protect them in the event of a financial crisis – Ellen Brown,  Diffusing the Derivatives Time Bomb: Some Proposed Solutions , Feb. 14, 2024.

Presently four relatively small states, South Dakota, Wyoming,...

Protect the First Amendment: Impeach Joe Biden!

Protecting democracy and the Constitution from Donald Trump and the “MAGA extremists” is a major theme of President Biden’s reelection campaign. As is often the case in American politics, President Biden is just as, if not more, guilty of posing an “existential threat” to the Constitution as those he smears as “extremists.” For example, President Biden and members of his administration have waged a campaign to undermine the First Amendment by “encouraging” companies to suppress the expression of...
