The Armchair

One of the clear benefits of our formerly prestigious institutions crumbling due to the tyranny of subterranean standards is that the credentials and imprimaturs they dole out carry little to no weight. Ponder for a moment: Thanks to affirmative action injustices, does anyone walking around with a “B.A.” or “B.S.” (initials more appropriate than ever)…

Notes and Review of STALIN’S WAR

My notes follow (along with an interview from RUN YOUR MOUTH) from an epic book and epic read–on just how much the history establishment has gotten wrong, or more so, what it has purposefully done to communicate and indoctrinate in the service of modern regimes, a limited at best–apocryphal at worst–understanding of World War II.…

Bypass the (Historical) Breakers–Better, Remove Them Altogether

Over the last few days, I’ve finally had the opportunity to dive into historian Sean McMeekin’s voluminous treatment of World War II, Stalin’s War: A New History of World War II. What a treat it has been. McMeekin, a professor at Bard College in upstate New York, is fluent in Turkic and Russian and even…

Paul Johnson, Requiescat in Pace

Paul Johnson is dead at 94. He contributed to the only United States History survey textbook that I ever found palatable. It took the eloquent stylings and dogged scholarship of a man, not trained as a professional historian, to show the schooled of the discipline just how to do it right. Johnson’s Modern Times (1984)…

Fastballs and Fastbulbs

  • One hundred plus years ago, the Black Sox made news, supposedly because out of destitution, they gambled (threw) the World Series in 1919.
  • Almost four hundred years ago, Dutch merchants made huge bets on tulip bulbs.

Sound dissimilar to totally unrelated? NOT SO!

On a Firing

Regarding my termination from Fenwick High School Volte-face is one of those beautiful French expressions with forceful meaning and subtle connotations that are often lost in translation. “About-face” does not do it justice, as when the French utilize the term, there is a sudden and serious abruptness to it; a brisk turning away from what…

Fear that Flatlines the Patient: The Rooseveltian Oath= Do All Harm

How weak is a civilization that the free functioning of people and their commerce can be crippled, and perhaps in the end destroyed, by hapless morons parading their power yet simultaneously revealing their incompetence? The backdrop is a manufactured pandemic that pseudo-intellectuals assert–based on flawed World Health Organization numbers–is more virulent and deadly than the…

Renegade University, Renegade History

Thaddeus Russell is the best historian in the United States and quite possibly the world. Unabashed, undeterred, Russell challenges the often just plain wrong history fed to us from cognizance to death. Case in point: Find an American who even fathoms the legitimacy of American involvement in World War II. Spoiler: you will fail. And…

Mises v. Marx: AIER Just Put Out Some Amazing Stuff

The brilliance of these pieces: a rap video, a post rap video analysis of the winner, and then a sardonic yet accurate review of Marx the economist… It’s all here for you: 3 red pills–might want to take one at a time.
