885 – State of confusion—about the state

Comments Off

Nov 062024

Now that Trump has achieved his well-earned electoral victory, expectations will be high for the Trump team to deliver on its agenda. If past experience is any guide, the greatest danger now facing the Right is for a sense of complacency to emerge within its ranks, following a victory presumed to be an end goal.

Too often, many on the Right disengage from the political process after achieving a given political objective. Meanwhile, the Left never ceases to aggressively engage in the political process irrespective of its victories or losses.

It is not for nothing it is said that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. It is a lack of that vigilance (and understanding) required to protect freedom that has allowed the process of state growth to continue unabated.

Thus the years ahead demand a clear understanding of the nature of what we have all been through, in terms of our governments running amok, constantly creating crisis’, and pushing us to the brink of war. To reverse that trend and to prevent it from repeating, we must correctly identify the cause and process that leads to tyranny.

Towards that end our attention was recently drawn to Murray Rothbard’s Anatomy of the State (1974), in which the classic libertarian defined what the state is and is not, along with the step-by-step process that tyrannical governments universally follow to achieve their sinister ends. It is a process chillingly descriptive of today’s political zeitgeist. Continue reading »

880 – Bernier’s battle—for freedom | Maxime Bernier

Oct 022024

“You must use your words, your ideas, as your weapon. It’s a war. It’s a cultural war. It’s an ideological war. And to win that war we need to speak out – use our words as our weapon. They’re very powerful.”

So asserts Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), whose recent appearance in London Ontario afforded us an opportunity to personally get together to discuss some of the major issues facing Canadians (and most of the Western nations as well).

For those still unfamiliar with Bernier and the PPC, our broadcast today offers information and insights you’ll never hear in the corporate mainstream media. Listen in on Maxime’s address to his audience; note how he fearlessly and knowledgably responds to tough and uncomfortable questions during Q&A sessions.

In particular, we enjoyed how he responded to our suggestion that he is Canada’s ‘Donald Trump,’ and to the significance of Trump’s recent comments about “eating the cats and eating the dogs.” Continue reading »

874 – The politics of envy—the pro-socialist mentality

Comments Off

Aug 212024

It is a sad fact that the vast majority of people have no idea what either socialism or capitalism actually are. However despite this shortcoming, most have some vague association regarding the moral justification for each.

Generally, most associate socialism with an altruistic philosophy of caring for others, and capitalism with selfishness, greed, and exploitation of others. Both of these viewpoints are false, and both emanate from the ideology of the Left.

Just as most are unaware of the nature of either socialism or capitalism, they also are unaware of the person who was primarily responsible for creating their false conceptions of each: Karl Marx.

Karl Marx was a loser in regard to every aspect of what it means to be human. In his image, he created the religion of Marxism. “It’s crucial to see Marxism as a religious architecture, not an economic theory,” warns Professor James Lindsay. And as reported by TIKhistory, “Karl Marx was brought up in mainstream religion instilling him with an altruistic morality.” Continue reading »

872 – From Marx to Jefferson—Epicurious about Epicurus

Comments Off

Aug 072024

When a philosopher has been said to influence everyone from Karl Marx to Thomas Jefferson, it bears taking note, particularly given the polarized political zeitgeist in which we currently find ourselves. One such philosopher was Epicurus (341-270 BC), perhaps best known as an advocate of ‘the simple life’ as the path to happiness.

So naturally, we became ‘epi-curious’ about Epicurus given that the right to the ‘pursuit of happiness’ is a founding principle of a free society. What we discovered was that ‘happiness’ itself is an incredibly polarized concept, a polarization that can also be seen in terms of the political Left and Right. This perhaps partially accounts for the differing narratives and interpretations regarding Epicurus’ history and philosophy.

For example, given the contrast between the motivations of Karl Marx and Thomas Jefferson, it should not be surprising that each interpreted the philosophy of Epicurus in equally contrasting ways. Were Epicurus alive today, how he himself might have viewed their Epicurean narratives is certainly a subject open to discussion.

According to one source regarding the Greek philosopher: “Epicurus promoted the following worldview: the universe is made of atoms and void and subject to the laws of physics without divine intervention. The world can be understood through an empiricist epistemology, and pleasure, pursued intelligently and ethically, is the goal of life.” Continue reading »

866 – Defining politics: the political theatre of epistemology

Comments Off

Jun 262024

When it comes to politics, you can never be sure whether to laugh or cry. In a field where the cardinal rule is ‘define or be defined’, defining politics itself can be elusive.

Politics is commonly (though correctly) associated with the state and government. But politics is also played outside of the government arena, as in office politics, business politics, and social politics involving competitions for social status.

Interestingly, most dictionaries do not describe what makes ‘political’ activity distinct from other forms of human activities without referring to state or government.

One distinctive attribute of politics suggests that when something becomes ‘political’ it means that the game is no longer being played on a level playing field. But the unspoken truth about the distinctive nature of politics is that it has become a socially acceptable means of acquiring the unearned. Worse, when it comes to governments, actions otherwise considered unconscionable or criminal are broadly tolerated if carried out for political reasons.

Politics has always operated in a political theatre of epistemology – a war of words calculated to win the support of the public. By controlling populations through the creation of fake definitions, politicians can pursue their real agendas in a manner unseen by most.

No issue could demonstrate the political war of definitions better than the Covid ‘vaccine-bioweapon-gene therapy-plandemic’. Several American states have launched civil actions against Pfizer, based on the fact that Pfizer illegally re-defined terms like ‘vaccine,’ ‘adverse event,’ ‘virus,’ ‘vaccination,’ and ‘infection’ to mean things that those words and terms do not mean. The significance of this is that for vaccine manufacturers using the contrived definitions, immunity from liability will no longer apply.

Thankfully, the war of words is also fought with valid definitions that correspond to the facts. These developments appear to represent a significant step in the Right direction because when it comes to the vaccine industry, it’s the defining issue that’s Just Right.

865 – Turning Right—into the Red wave

1 Response »

Jun 192024

“Is Europe turning far right?” That question is being asked by many commentators both in social media and in the mainstream media itself. Concluding that the the recent results in the European Union parliamentary elections represent a “conservative Red wave and a move to the Right,” expectations are high that the tide of tyranny is finally reaching an end.

Aside from the inconvenient fact that conservatism is associated with the color blue, and not red, one can never be certain what values most people associate with the Right. The same uncertainty presents itself regarding the association of conservatives, libertarians and Objectivists with the Right. One of the problems with the terms Left and Right is that to most people, these terms are not associated with definitive ideas but simply represent political opposition.

It’s safe to say that virtually all those on the Left are globalists, even if they are unaware of that term. They idealize a ‘nation-less’ world as some kind of utopia, utterly oblivious to the horrifying reality of that idea. Disappointingly (and surprising to some), conservatives, libertarians, and even Objectivists have many representatives and factions promulgating Leftist objectives and ideals, particularly globalism and an end to the sovereignty of nations.

Consequently, you can never be sure whether any of these individuals and groups are on the Left or Right until you understand their specific views and policies as measured against the understood and correct principles of each polarity.

‘Red’ or ‘Blue,’ whether that wave is truly moving in the Right direction is a question that can only be resolved when the wave reaches the shore of national governance.

When the Left constantly berates anything Right as being ‘far,’ ‘extreme,’ or whatever, the objective is to destroy the very concept of being Right. To the extent that they can get enough people to believe that being Just Right is simply not possible, the Left will continue to win the information war even in the midst of a ‘Red wave.’

864 – The Right WING—flying in every direction

Comments Off

Jun 122024

The belief that Left and Right have become useless labels has been utterly destructive to those on the Right.

Expressing a recognition that conservatives and liberals have become a ‘uni-party,’ many on the Right have falsely operated on the assumption that, for example, Republicans represent the Right and Democrats represent the Left. The sad fact is that, just as ‘Republicans in name only’ (RINOs) are not Republicans, so too many on the right ‘wing’ are ‘Right in name only.’ Or in other words, their ideologies are Left.

How did this misconception of Left and Right arise?

That Republicans and Democrats sit in ‘opposition’ to each other leads most to believe that the split between them is ideological – Left versus Right. But the real ‘split’ is about power, not about ideology. (This principle also applies to parliamentary governments, where there is an ‘official opposition’ yet with little or no ideological difference to the ruling party.) Continue reading »
