Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)
Resident Bidet has said on at least two occasions that you need planes and tanks to fight the government. These remarks didn’t age so well; the Commander-in-Cheat had his ass handed to him by cave-dwelling Afghan zealots with room-temperature IQs. For the most part, they were armed with AK-47s manufactured back when disco was still a thing. (more…)

Ayo H. Kimathi
Jews are the Problem, second edition
Crestview, Fla.: Money Tree Publishing, 2023Ayo H. Kimathi received considerable scorn in the mainstream media for his Black Nationalist racial activism while working as a contractor for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2013. At the time, he was making many anti-white statements that would have been tolerated during the Summer of Floyd in 2020, but weren’t tolerated in 2013. (more…)

The whole purpose of the revolution was to make a man like him impossible. They were forging a new being from the pliable stuff of human nature, one which would fit seamlessly into the classless society of the future. (more…)

There are many reasons to think that we are living in the world of Atlas Shrugged. Doesn’t it seem today as if literally everything is broken or in freefall? Manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure, public safety, the justice system, housing, education, the food supply, journalism, the arts, and more — these are broken in our world of today, and broken in the world of Atlas Shrugged. But how they got broken is, in many ways, quite different from what Rand depicts. (more…)

Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a number of stories appeared which alleged Israeli involvement. Personally, I haven’t paid much attention, since thus far I’ve heard little along those lines that passes the Occam’s Razor test.[1] Although I can’t deny that Jews have a regrettably high trouble-per-capita ratio, I’m not in the habit of assuming everything bad in the world was something they did.

In our country we wish to substitute morality for egotism, probity for honour, principles for conventions, duties for etiquette, the empire of reason for the tyranny of customs, contempt for vice for contempt for misfortune, pride for insolence, the love of honour for the love of money… that is to say, all the virtues and miracles of the Republic, for all the vices and snobbishness of the monarchy. — Maximilien Robespierre, “On Virtue and Terror” (1794) (more…)

It’s been 80 years since Ayn Rand’s novel The Fountainhead was published by Bobbs-Merrill, and almost exactly 37 years since I first read it. I was in college at the time and, although I did not realize it, searching for some source of meaning in my life. The previous year I had gone through a Satanist phase, occasioned by reading Anton LaVey’s Satanic Bible and failing to see the humor in it. That had been followed by a very, very brief Marxist phase. (more…)

He [Rousseau] had nothing new, but he set everything on fire. — Madame de Staël
Starting from unlimited freedom I arrive at unlimited despotism. — Shigalev, in Dostoevsky’s The Devils
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, not Karl Marx is the real father and inspiration for the theater of the absurd that is today’s Left. Rousseau’s “Man is born free, everywhere he is in chains” is the original formulation of the adolescent anarchist rally-cry, “Rage against the machine!” (more…)
