"I'm just trying to get at the truth, and it's a very serious thing when they require you to lie to students," asserts our guest Jim McMurtry in addressing outright lies being taught in British Columbia public schools.

For years, state schools along with the media have been claiming that there were mass graves discovered of "indigenous" children murdered by the nuns and priests who ran the Kamloops residential school and others. The image accompanying this post depicts that very fiction and was among those used as an exhibit to indoctrinate high school students in British Columbia.

For challenging the official doctrine on residential schools by demonstrating that there were zero "Indigenous" children who died at these schools, Jim was fired from his teaching position in BC, despite holding a Master's Degree in educational history with a focus on Indian education policy.

And like the fiction about residential schools, another "Indigenous" fiction has been promoted in the form of the highly racist "land acknowledgements" being forced to be read in advance of various official public gatherings across Canada.

This propaganda is an atrocity given the facts that all land in Canada is governed by the Crown (including the reserves) and that, both historically and by definition, there literally are no indigenous peoples living anywhere in North America.

"At a deeper level they know they're wrong," observes Jim, "because they're pretending they're the ones that are right and moralistic (by) helping minorities." The irony in adopting this altruistic morality is that it effectively maligns the very people identified as "indigenous" by falsely labeling them as victims, incapable of self-sufficiency.

"Indigenous policy in Canada is incredibly destructive first and foremost to 'indigenous' people," concludes Jim. "We need to strengthen people so they can deal with adversity; we should not help them because it makes them unable to compete with others."

Having been consistently and regularly threatened with violence simply for displaying his "END LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" placard, Jim knows what he's talking about when he observes that "there was no way that they wanted an idea to pierce through that armor of hatred that they built up and directed towards us."

In calling for Canadians to stop putting up with land acknowledgements or with D.E.I. hiring, Jim is Just Right in calling for all Canadians to be unconditionally identified as such, with equal rights and freedom before and under the law.

In this conversation with Robert Vaughan, guest Jim McMurtry challenges what he describes as widespread falsehoods promoted by some “Indigenous” leaders in British Columbia. Drawing on historical records, he argues that children who died while enrolled at the Kamloops Indian Residential School did so from disease or accidents—not from deliberate violence by nuns who allegedly left them out in the cold.

After being removed from the classroom for raising these points, McMurtry has spoken publicly against land acknowledgements and the claim that Canada committed genocide against Indigenous peoples. He contends that the drive behind these narratives is not only virtue signaling by institutions and officials, but also greed: large financial transfers, lucrative land claims, high salaries and investments for some leaders, and an industry of litigation and compensation that rewards the continuation of the claims.

Speaking out cost him a long teaching career, but it also brought public recognition for his willingness to question official narratives and allowed him to exercise the freedom of speech he has valued since early adulthood.

It should not be surprising that the Left, being anti-industrial in its fundamental mindset, should also be opposed to technology itself. One would think that an innocuous and friendly demonstration of a technological advancement in the form of a 'flying' car would be appreciated and admired by all. After all, where's the possible harm in that?

Again and not surprisingly, the answer to that question has been provided by an on-line army on the Left that has gone out of its way to denounce both the invention and its creator - Elon Musk.

The complaints and criticisms offer a unique exhibit of the extreme psychological polarity between those on the Left and those on the Right. Unlike political, economic, and social issues that have long been associated with a Left and Right polarity, one might never expect such a divide over the invention of a brilliant technological device.

In contrast to the joy and appreciation expressed by those on the Right, the expression of sheer hatred and resentment by those on the Left speaks to a very deep rooted and anti-human psychological malaise.

Humans are technological beings. It is only thanks to the advancement of technology that humanity itself has emerged from the savagery of nature and primitive tribal violence into a culture of unparalleled individualism.

But as always, technology can be used for good or evil. If there's one persistent danger associated with any technology of any age, it manifests itself when monopolized and controlled by those whose political objective is control over others.

In the hands of the Left, all technologies represent a danger to human survival and individualism. That's why, for technology to result in true human advancement and progress, it must always be wielded by those who use it in a way that is Just Right.

Profound as it has been, the influence of Ayn Rand on Western culture is difficult to objectively measure. What is easier to spot is how many on the Right who admire her works still fail to grasp the fundamentals of her philosophy of Objectivism.

Key among them are those who self define as conservative, libertarian, anarchist, and others who "lean right" by seeking "more freedom through less government." As fans and followers of Ayn Rand, they might be surprised to learn that Rand vehemently rejected and opposed each of those "right wing" variants.

By being falsely associated with any of them, Rand understood how her philosophy of individualism could be misunderstood or rejected by the very people who would benefit from it the most.

She reacted to libertarianism as "the latest aberration of some conservatives who claim simultaneously to be followers of my philosophy and advocates of anarchism. Anyone offering such a combination confesses his inability to understand either. Anarchism is the most irrational, anti-intellectual notion ever spun by the concrete-bound, context-dropping, whim-worshipping fringe of the collectivist movement, where it properly belongs."

Best known for her monumental novels Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, even after her death Ayn Rand continues to be opposed, misunderstood, misinterpreted and misrepresented. Fortunately, there are still those of us who make the effort necessary to objectively frame her philosophy in a way that is Just Right.

Florida Congresswoman Maria Salazar (Republican) has proposed what she calls Dignity Status legislation drafted to address those illegal immigrants who have been living in the United States for long periods of time, unrelated to the recent invasion of unvetted migrants flooding into the country under the Globalist agenda.

Not simply a temporary measure to deal with America's current crisis, the purpose of the Dignity legislation is to codify border security and enforcement on a long-term permanent basis, thus preventing subsequent possible political reversals in the future. This would create an enforceable immigration law and citizenship policy that would be equally applicable to all immigrants in the future.

Significantly, the Dignity legislation does not offer amnesty to those subject to it. Amnesty opens a path to citizenship, which would not be accorded to this group of immigrants. What the legislation does offer is a status allowing such immigrants to remain and live in the country without fear of being deported.

Another factor in the consideration of such legislation is the American economy itself, which has some surprising shortcomings and complexities that would be negatively impacted in the absence of these long-term migrants.

And of course, there's the basic consideration of fairness and justice - not just to the affected immigrants, but to the many American citizens who have given these immigrants jobs and/or established personal and family roots with them. The circumstances surrounding this group is not as black-and-white as those who entered the country under the Biden administration. Many Americans are correctly perceiving a fundamental injustice in treating otherwise law-abiding immigrants the same as those who have criminal records or who are disturbing the peace.

Should Dignity Status legislation be applied to long-time illegal immigrants who otherwise have no criminal records and have maintained jobs and raised their families in America? Given the circumstances, it's an option that may prove to be Just Right in dealing with the overwhelming challenges facing the Trump administration's efforts to establish and enforce border security.

In the wake of newly released documents from the White House and the federal government describing defense intelligence about "transversable worm holes, star gates and negative energies," the question arises:

Are governments really employing some kind of secret time travel technology? Or is this just another conspiracy theory? Questions aside, various 'whistleblowers' have come forth with claims that they have personally witnessed the use of time travel technology at American military bases.

Whatever one's take on this issue is, what makes the most recent accounts notable is that their explanations of this technology have emphasized an abandonment of a 'time-line' representation of the passage of time in favor of a 'time-loop' representation that resolves the so-called 'butterfly effect.'

Long believed to make time travel a metaphysical impossibility, the 'butterfly effect' is described by the Encyclopedia Britannica as a term "coined by meteorologist Edward Lorenz in the 1960s while studying chaos theory, illustrating how small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes in complex systems, such as weather patterns. Lorenz used the metaphor of a butterfly flapping its wings to suggest that such a minor event could ultimately cause significant changes, like a tornado forming elsewhere."

Whether fact or fiction, what makes this 'time-loop' metaphor of particular interest (aside from its potential contemplation value) is that it allows us to create a visual representation of existence consistent with what has long been restricted to philosophy.

As described by philosopher Leonard Piekoff: "The universe is eternal in the literal sense, non-temporal, out of time. Time is a measurement of motion that applies only within the universe." Or in other words, being eternal, the universe might be depicted as a 'loop' with no beginning and no end.

We can't pretend to offer a definitive description of the nature of space-time or the universe, but these 'time travel' claims make for some fascinating introspection. Insofar as any conclusions or meaning can be drawn from all of this, we can only rely on our own individual discernment.

The challenge is not about resolving the seeming contradictions and paradoxes surrounding space-time, but with how we represent the universe for the purposes of understanding it in a way that is closer to being Just Right.
