754 – It’s party time for capitalism! | Mark Pellegrino

Comments Off

Apr 142022

Co-founder of the American Capitalist Party, our guest Mark Pellegrino has set the terms from which to expand his April 7 discussion with Just Right co-host Robert Vaughan on video into today’s broadened discussion on the ideas and philosophy that drive many freedom and capitalism advocates: Objectivism.

Across various jurisdictions, the creation of political parties founded on freedom/capitalism suggests an awakening to the fundamentals underlying our political crisis. Most interestingly, many of these parties (including the American Capitalist Party) have cited the ‘Objectivist’ philosophy of Ayn Rand as a guiding light in the establishment of their own party policies.

However as one might expect, even among those inspired by Rand’s philosophy, disagreements and various interpretations of her ideas abound. Happily, these conflicting opinions actually provide a much-needed discussion of the principles and forces that drive our political zeitgeist.

In America as in Canada, there are a growing number of political parties seen to be on the ‘freedom’ side of the political polarity. Among them: various independent and libertarian parties in both countries, Ontario’s Freedom Party, Canada’s People’s Party, and of course, the American Capitalist Party.

“Libertarians reject an objective (universal) morality,” argues Mark, in citing how the American Capitalist Party differs from various libertarian parties.

In the end, which of these parties ever wins an election will depend less on their policies and platforms being Just Right, than on a majority of the voting public believing them to be right enough to support at the polls.

752 – From the love of truth freedom emerges

Comments Off

Mar 312022

Conflicting narratives over Ukraine have revealed some interesting parallels with the debates over Covid and climate change. Apparently, some on the Left are surprised that there is an alignment between those who do not regard Vladimir Putin as the villain in Ukraine, and those who have been labelled ‘anti-vaxxers’ ‘climate-change deniers’ and the ‘extreme right wing.’

But this should not be surprising, although the fake-news media insists that it is. Always unable to counter the rational views of those they label, the Left simply attacks the ‘messengers’ instead of the ‘messages.’ Ironically, even in stooping to that tactic, they are still unable to refute the truths of the messengers.

Of course there’s a flip side of the ‘attack-the-messenger’ coin. Those who are virtue signalling moral disapproval of Putin and want to see a war in Ukraine are also the people who believe there actually is a Covid pandemic, that the experimental injections are ‘vaccines,’ that ‘climate change’ can be affected by banning CO2, and that Joe Biden actually won the last American election. In other words, those on the Left.

These general alignments of views should not be surprising because they are perfectly consistent with the natural polarity of politics: the Left (tyranny) versus the Right (freedom).

The West’s descent into irrationalism and emotionalism has been a long and steady process, concurrent with the rise of the Left and its abandonment of reason. To this mentality, facts don’t matter and truth does not exist. Only tyranny can result under this mindset, and tyranny is the Left’s goal.

The Left’s hatred of freedom is quite understandable since those who wish to control others cannot do so in an environment where the use of force, fraud, and censorship are considered criminal behaviour, and where truth is the standard of justice.

It is the love of truth shared by those on the Right that so threatens the Left. From the love of truth, freedom emerges, and freedom is the only condition that is Just Right.

751 – Always Russian to conclusions

Comments Off

Mar 242022

“Vladimir Putin inherited a ransacked and bewildered country, with a poor and demoralized people. And he started to do what was possible – a slow and gradual restoration. These efforts were not noticed, nor appreciated, immediately. In any case, one is hard pressed to find examples in history when steps by one country to restore its strength were met favourably by other governments.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

As a famous critic of Soviet dictatorship, we wonder if the voice of the late Russian dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn would be among those now silenced in the current anti-Russian censorship frenzy. Given his views on Putin, he was clearly at odds with today’s officially acceptable narrative.

The deep state’s incessant ‘blame-the-Russians-for-everything’ narratives would be comical were it not for the sad fact that so many people take them seriously, being unaware of how much of the blaming is mere projection. Thanks to events in Ukraine, it is now becoming clear that even those who do not blame the Russians for everything are hesitant to ‘pick sides’ in the current conflict – despite much valid evidence on which to make such a judgement.

746 – Word War Spree—fascists versus ‘freedom’

Comments Off

Feb 172022

The entire ‘Covid’ narrative is crumbling and the Truckers’ Freedom Convoy in Ottawa has sped that process exponentially. Every lie, every sinister intentional action to destroy the lives, health and welfare of citizens everywhere, will soon become common knowledge as more and more people waken to their political reality.

This terrifies the likes of Justin Trudeau, whose fascist policies have created the very tyranny against which Canadians are protesting. He has been justifying his fascism based on a Covid narrative whose falsity is becoming more self-evident with each passing day.

Censorship and propaganda have been governments’ primary weapon in an ‘information war’ that has been extraordinarily effective, thanks to the ‘fake-news’ media acting as a government-paid propagandist for the state.

The ‘info war’ has now escalated into an all-out ‘word war’ spree. At the heart of the conflict is the word ‘freedom’ itself, a concept that the Left cannot tolerate or defeat. That’s because the word ‘freedom,’ above all, means freedom from coercion, which happens to be another way of saying freedom from the Left.

Individualism (on the Right) operates on the principles of freedom and consent. Collectivism (on the Left) operates on the principles of control and coercion. Since individualism is moral while collectivism is immoral, it should come as no surprise that the Left is doing everything possible to denigrate the concept of freedom by morally equating it with the Left’s own ideals of coercion and violence.

The Left’s attack on the concept of freedom is mirrored in its similar attack on the concept of the political ‘Right’ – by associating it with fascism (which is explicitly Left) – and by inventing meaningless terms like ‘alt-right,’ or ‘extreme right wing.’

To win the war for freedom it must be understood that there are no ‘degrees’ or variants of freedom. It’s just freedom for the same reason that what’s right is Just Right.

741 – Vax a nation—with tyranny’s fatal shots

5 Responses »

Jan 132022

Speculation about a coming national mandatory vaccination for all Canadian citizens has been fueled by Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently making some outrageous comments on a French interview program in Quebec, here translated:

“Yes, We will get out of this pandemic by vaccination.
We all know people who are a little bit hesitant.
We will continue to try to convince them.
But there are also people who are fiercely against vaccination.
They are extremists, who don’t believe in science, they’re often misogynists, also often racists.
It’s a small group that muscles in and we have to make a choice, in terms of leaders, in terms of the country, do we tolerate these people?
Or do we say, hey, most of the Quebecois people, 80% are vaccinated?
We want to come back to things we like doing.
It’s not those people (the vaccinated) who are blocking us…”

To hear words like that coming out of the mouth of any politician in a Western nation, let alone in Canada, is an obscenity. Not only is every word in Trudeau’s statement demonstrably false, it reveals the character of a man who is despicable and deplorable. Beyond his personal shortcomings and a shameful record of ethics violations, Trudeau is doing exactly the opposite of what any responsible leader in a real health pandemic would do.

740 – Prescriptions for freedom

Comments Off

Jan 062022

At a time when individual freedom has never been more restricted, for the first time in their lives many people are finding themselves confronted with the challenge of how to reclaim and protect their freedom.

Among the questions they’re asking is some version of “what can we do?” – and the numerous suggestions being offered could present us with an entirely new category of ‘variants’ for consideration.

Adding to everyone’s anxiety is a growing awareness that much of the population is gripped in a form of mass psychosis, with all of the classic symptoms and manifestations that entails.

How to respond to these conditions requires a public discussion that has long been overdue and which is now thankfully finally beginning.

Eventually, the truth will emerge that there’s no single way to fight for freedom that is Just Right – but to do nothing is not an option if freedom is to prevail.
