917 – WOKE joke—the fallacy of the WOKE Right

By inventing the term ‘WOKE Right’, author, mathematician and cultural critic James Lindsay has created a nonsensical anti-concept that has done more damage to causes on the Right than any fake news media could. Fake concepts are far more dangerous than fake news narratives.

In the intellectual confusion surrounding political concepts, it should not be surprising that many on the Right have come to both accept – and fear – being labeled ‘WOKE.’ But the joke is on them, and it was made possible by yet another political fiction called the ‘political spectrum.’

The ‘political spectrum’ was perhaps the most brilliant and effective propaganda victory that the Left ever created. Following the political maxim of ‘define or be defined,’ the Left succeeded in defining the Right as simply another variant of the Left – fascist instead of communist or socialist.

Lindsay has mischievously created the concept of WOKE Right in such a convoluted way as to make any objective understanding of either word impossible. Worse, the concept of ‘WOKE’ serves no useful purpose as an adjective. The term ‘WOKE Right’ is a contradiction. The term ‘WOKE Left’ is redundant. Continue reading »

916 – VERITAS!—to tyranny

In speaking truth to tyranny, it is necessary to expose both the immorality and historical record of socialism, its most widely recognized cause.

Despite its destructive consequences, the popularity of socialism persists, and this does not bode well for those who adopt socialism. As Senegal’s Magatte Wade illustrates, Africa’s poverty and tyranny are a direct consequence of “the deadly ideology of socialism,” an ideology also being practiced in Canada.

In fact, Canada’s recent political history provides a testimony to the tyranny caused by socialism, a tyranny not so unlike that which has been experienced in Africa.

The Freedom Convoy in 2022 provided both a literal and symbolic example of just how far from a free democracy Canada had drifted. Peacefully organized to oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates along with all COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns, the Canadian government responded to the convoy and other protestors with force.

‘Veritas’ is the Latin word for ‘truth’ and is also the name of a Roman goddess who represents truthfulness and virtue. One individual well known for having his name associated with this word is James O’Keefe, founder of Project Veritas.

His expressed experience after having been ‘fired’ from his own organization reflects certain principles in common with politics, as recently illustrated by seemingly unrelated accounts of life in North Korea today and life during the fall of the Roman Empire.

In speaking truth to freedom, all of these accounts cite the reality that truth itself – veritas – is a key value and virtue upon which any free society depends. Is it any wonder then that unfree collectivist societies and globalists fear the truth more than almost anything else on the planet?

The eternal fundamental political struggle represented by the political polarities of Left and Right is that between collectivism and individualism. To the degree that a society is collectivist, its citizens have less freedom and less prosperity. To the degree that a society is individualist, both freedom and prosperity are the result.

914 – What’s so funny?—just about everything

What’s so funny? What’s ‘funny’ can be something that causes us to laugh or be amused, or it can also refer to something that is peculiar, strange, or odd. That’s probably why just about all things and people have something that could be said to be ‘funny’ about them.

We live in an age when it has become difficult to satirize the actions of many of the world’s politicians and political activists. They have become so ridiculous and disconnected from reality that any such attempt is impossible to make funnier than the object of the satire already is.

So to take a break from all of the not-so-‘funny’ things going on in the world today, let’s take a look at humor in its various basic forms, from the popular appeal of simple ‘groaners,’ riddles and jokes, to the fascination with dark humor and historical events.

From the amusing to the peculiar, traditional humor still has a broad appeal for many. After all, a sense of humor is an essential part of common sense. That’s why there’s no one way to look at comedy or humor that’s Just Right, especially when it’s funny.

913 – The epistemology of God—and the debate over nothing

Whether theist or atheist, both sides of the debate usually share the same logical fallacy – the fallacy of non-existence. On that premise, science invented the ‘big bang’ theory while religion invented the ‘creation’ narrative.

At the heart of the dilemma lies the attempt to resolve a philosophical issue (the nature and fact of existence) by means other than philosophy. Neither science nor faith alone are capable of addressing such an issue.

The flaw in most of the ‘creation of the universe’ theories and beliefs is that they presume that there was once a condition of ‘non-existence’ out of which arose existence itself. It is not even possible to conceptualize a condition described as ‘non-existence’ and with good reason; any attempt to do so is contradictory.

To suggest that ‘nothing exists’ or or to refer to the ‘existence of non-existence’ is self contradictory and therefore meaningless. Yet from science to religion, we see an acceptance of the ‘existence of non existence’ as if that was some kind of valid premise on which to base any theories or beliefs. Continue reading »

912 – Monsters to destroy—for the neocon agenda

“On July 4, 1821, John Quincy Adams delivered the most-remembered speech of his career. The oration’s resounding climax included several famous lines – that America ‘goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy,’ for example, and that an America that aspired to world leadership, even in the name of noble ideas, would be led astray: ‘She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit.’ Even as American foreign policy has warped in many of the ways Adams foresaw, it has been unable to bury his powerful words.” (-from the ‘John Quincy Adams Society’ website)

It is in this light that controversial issues like America’s foreign policy, the war in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, globalism, a one world government, and significantly – Zionism and the neocon movement – are now being discussed. Complicating the discussion is the constant matter of definition and context.

“Narratives are built by removing history,” observes Salim Mansur, so as to “serve the interest of whoever you are advocating for.”

Not surprisingly, with the re-introduction of the relevant history into the narrative, one soon discovers that the narrative often changes radically, rarely serving the narrow interests of those promoting the original. Continue reading »

Neoconservatism Part III — America Betrayed

In the third installment of our discussion on neoconservatism, Professor Salim Mansur examines the post-Soviet era, a period marked by complex dynamics and post-Cold War tensions. Rather than embracing Russia as a potential ally and a nascent democracy recovering from decades of communism and autocratic rule, the United States eventually came to cast it as a new “monster to destroy.”

This shift undermined America’s founding principle of rational isolationism with limited international engagement as it sought to maintain hegemony in an emerging multipolar world. The pivot fueled hostility both domestically and internationally, channeling billions into the military-industrial complex and perpetuating endless conflict.

Central to this narrative is the unwavering defense of Israel, which, alongside the focus on Russia, shapes American foreign policy. Crafted by neoconservatives and embraced by hawks across administrations since George H. W. Bush, this dual focus has defined U.S. global strategy. The neoconservative agenda, explicitly outlined in the Project for the New American Century (1997), drove NATO expansion and heightened tensions in the Middle East.

Ultimately, neoconservatism has betrayed America’s early ideals, costing countless lives, squandering vast fortunes, and tarnishing the reputation of a once-great nation.
