The New World Order is on the Way

Ray Dalio performed a great service here. While no one can be expected to hit all of the points, and Dalio can be faulted for some glaring assumptions–such as presuming that prosperity comes with the essential coordination of government, lenders, and entrepreneurs–he does successfully summarize the historical record as it pertains to world order cycles.…

A Putin’s Progress

It was bound to happen. Once Russian forces invaded Ukraine, figures from both the right and the left fell into their binary, vacuous thought pits. They proceeded to direct Twitter fits at libertarians and anarchists like dear little ol’ me. My response is one to ponder:     So, when both your midwit conservative neighbor…

Purple Reign

Back in 1994, the hard rock/punk/alternative band Bad Religion released their album Stranger Than Fiction. One of the tracks was a pretty immediate hit: “21st Century Digital Boy”. Creepy video, but not as creepy as the progressive-secular religion of today. Oh, for 1994 again… After reading Matt Purple’s piece on perhaps the most annoyingly mindless…

The Iscariots

This is all so Biblical. The question is not whether the reign of evil, the Reich of the liars, cheats, murderers, thieves and scoundrels has arrived, but rather; how long is it going to last? Is this the pinnacle? Will there be enough Maccabees to fight back? Those questions can really only be answered by…

Watch It Fall: A Lament

“How long until there’s nothing left at all?” This is the season, this is the time of lamentation. I suspect that bluegrass, perhaps along with just the plain old blues, might be the only two musical genres fit to express the sentiments of the remnant of the healthy and the sane, we who are left…

Apart-Hood

“Apartheid” comes from the Afrikaans words for “separateness” or more literally, “apart-hood”. The fact that dimwitted mayors throughout the United States and parliaments in Europe, Australia, New Zealand have embraced apartheid regarding reception of the genetic serums speaks to some remarkable contradictions. The comrades appear oblivious to any of them. Without exception, for decades, these…

To Russia With Love: An Open Letter to Vladimir Putin

Dear Mr. Putin, It was with some considerable alarm today–although I must admit now that it seems foolish to me even as I write it–that I greeted my day with the distinct displeasure of turning on the American cable news networks. How could I expect anything but an admixture of nausea and frustration? Unfortunately, it…

Ryan Rogers

I did not know Ryan Rogers. I’ve never met his family. He lived over 1300 miles away from me. For all of my ignorance of who Ryan was, I know one thing: That picture above is of a beautiful, sweet boy. That beautiful sweet boy was murdered on the night of November 15, just a…

And Now, Covidian: Nazi Comps Are Not Lazy Anymore

Almost without exception, Nazi analogies are lazy and generally inaccurate. But leave it to the Covid totalitarian-hysterics of our time to make them relevant again. It’s not just the marking with masks and the segregation of children in school. Here’s the New Zealand prime minister saying your life as you know it has basically ended…

Save the IRS

When I worked as a mover, the most luxurious accommodations among the thousands of institutions/companies which I helped relocate, belonged to the ATF (Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) and the IRS (Federal Internal Revenue Service). And, it wasn’t even close. Turns out, more so than the most successful architecture, tech, or law…
