As 2023 draws to a close and an anticipated turbulent 2024 comes with an expectation of escalated assaults on individual freedom, one positive trend has been a growing cultural resistance to the tyranny and its many manifestations. If it’s true that politics is ‘downstream from culture,’ then it is beginning to appear that the Left’s dominance of the cultural mosaic is finally encountering some meaningful competition from the Right.

Fundamental to classifying any artistic expression as being Just Right is the understanding that all such expression values individual freedom and/or condemns tyranny.

Increasingly, more and more musical artists are finding themselves on the Right by singing out on behalf of freedom. As both a form of protest and critical analysis, the combination of the Right words with the Right music can prove to powerfully and emotionally reflect the changing zeitgeist of the day in a way otherwise not possible.

Our first two unique and distinctive musical collections defying the propaganda of the day can be found archived on our site with the broadcasts of Just Right-738-December 23, 2021 and Just Right-817-June 29, 2023. It is in the spirit of this growing awakening that we now dedicate a third broadcast devoted to yet another unique and distinctive collection of music that’s Just Right.

Since October 7 the attack on Israel by Hamas has dominated the world stage. Though initial global reaction sympathized with the Israeli victims, it was not long before Western public sentiment had expressed a surprising level of moral support for the actions of Hamas, accompanied by open calls for the death of Jews.

Why the Jewish culture has been so hated and condemned throughout history has never been explained in a way that can withstand the test of time. To help broaden our discussions about the nature of Israel and Jewish traditions, our guest Irving Weisdorf – as a secular Jew himself – offers his own perspective and experience within the Jewish tradition.

With a traditional stress on education and hard work combined with an ethic of “being the best that you can be,” that philosophy goes a long way towards explaining why the Jewish culture is so successful. It may also help explain the real motivation behind anti-Semitism as being a “hatred of the good for being the good,” as described by Ayn Rand.

Whether this proves to be the explanation that is Just Right is something that can only be determined in an open forum of free discussion involving the nature of good and evil itself.

pain
Few people have actually experienced being hospitalized or the pain and discomfort that most often accompanies the need for hospitalization. That unfortunate opportunity presented itself to Just Right’s host Robert Metz who in today’s broadcast reports on that experience along with some broader observations about Canada’s socialized health care system.

London Ontario’s Victoria Hospital is a city within a city. Helicopters fly in regularly bringing patients from various parts of the province and arriving ambulances can be heard on a regular basis. But given many of the news items and stories about Canada’s health care crisis, all of this activity seems incongruous with the reports.

Beyond such considerations, the one thing most of the patients in the trauma unit share in common is the “pain factor.” How each individual reacts to pain – whether their own pain or the pain of others – can be as different as night and day. Beyond the physical trauma and challenge of being in the trauma unit of the hospital, there is also psychological stress that can lead to unexpected consequences.

Our brief investigation into one such consequence has led to a philosophical principle that strikes at the heart of human behavior.

Perhaps the greatest irony about pain is that it so often is the motivation required to push people in a direction that is Just Right.

peace

L’chaim! A traditional Jewish toast celebrating life has taken a somber note in the Middle East, with recent events like the Hamas Massacre on October 7th and Israel’s retaliatory bombing of Gaza. The echoes of conflict reverberate through a history that traces back to the establishment of Israel by the United Nations in 1948, marking 75 years of persistent bloodshed in the region.

Despite the grim reality, a glimmer of optimism urges us to seek resolution in understanding the historical roots of this enduring rivalry. To unravel the complex narrative, Robert Vaughan engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Professor Salim Mansur of Western University. Mansur’s recent Substack article, titled Rabin’s Murder is Prehistory of Gaza-Israel 10/7, delves into the profound changes Israel underwent from a secular state led by figures like Yitzhak Rabin to a religious state under leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu. Mansur suggests that this shift contributed to a trajectory of increased bloodshed and conflict, posing a challenge with no clear solution, possibly necessitating intervention by the United Nations.

Bin Laden

Following the Oct 7th Hamas Massacre in Israel, there has been an increase in awareness among many young people about Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America,” a manifesto which was published 14 months after the 9/11 attacks on America.

Most of these young individuals were too young to recall the events of that day, which occurred 22 years ago. Indeed, many were not even born. In a sense, they might be forgiven for their ignorance of Bin Laden’s encyclical and the surrounding causes and effects of Al Qaeda’s actions. However, upon learning about why bin Laden killed almost 3,000 civilians, it should be clear to most with a conscience, that there is no justification for his heinous deeds.

In his lengthy missive, Bin Laden addresses two main questions: why he attacked and what he expects Americans to do in response. He claims that America attacked first, referring to the United States’ ongoing military engagements—the so-called Forever War. This constant interference in the affairs of other nations, unrelated to America’s existential concerns, serves primarily to sustain the Military Industrial Complex. For those shocked by the revelations on platforms like TikTok, this should serve as a wake-up call.

Bin Laden’s answer to the second question is straightforward: submit to Islam or face death. In this episode, we delve into the perplexing reactions of young Americans who are only now awakening to history and discovering the malevolence within the minds of Islamists willing to kill men, women, and children for their beliefs. As Bin Laden chillingly stated, “(We) desire death more than you desire life.

This chilling admission from a mass murderer in his Ex Post Facto Manifesto is no different from the manifestos left behind by others seeking redress for perceived wrongs through violence.

835 – Evil is not a mental illness

Evil

Steven Crowder’s disclosure of the manifesto by Audrey Hale, the Covenant School shooter, has prompted some to label such heinous acts as the very definition of mental illness. However, categorizing evil solely as a mental disorder or abnormal dysfunction serves as an excuse rather than a proper understanding.

Evil deeds stem from a deliberate suspension of one’s consciousness and a rejection of critical thinking. Every individual has the potential for wrongdoing, influenced by their upbringing and the circumstances that shape their moral compass.

The Hamas Massacre on October 7 in Israel highlights that the conditions for evil exist in all people. It is only through a conscious decision to think and an act of will can we overcome the inclination to react violently to those we disagree with or those we’ve been conditioned to hate.

In the information and propaganda war that always accompanies a physical war, maintaining the narrative is key to winning both. Today’s confusion reigning around the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is completely understandable, and has a deliberate cause.

It also has had a desired effect, observed mainly in the international moral outrage against the “terrorist Hamas” from the Right, and in international moral support for the “resistance movement Hamas” from the Left.

Disturbingly, these emotionally charged public reactions could easily be interpreted as benefiting either side of the conflict, leaving open the question of a “false flag” operation on the part of Israel – particularly in light of its open border and lack of response during the invasion on October 7.

Worse, in the din of the “this is Israel’s 9/11” chorus, one cannot help but reflect on the fact that 9/11 itself is now understood to have been a false flag event, calculated to initiate a war in the mid-east.

While it may seem callous to downplay the unspeakable atrocities committed on the Gaza strip, to do otherwise is an invitation for more of the same. After all, the very purpose behind the “shock and terror” violence is to manipulate we the people.

For those in the conflict, what matters most is controlling the narrative, and the question of whether or not the reported acts of terrorism are real, imagined, manufactured or some combination thereof is secondary. What is necessary is to have the desired narrative believed and accepted by as many as possible in order to justify yet another battle in the greater global conflict increasingly being recognized as World War III.

In order to make sense of the latest conflict a good place to start is by recognizing World War III is not a war between nations; it is a war within nations. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is but the latest example of a fate that awaits all nations who fail to do what’s Just Right when dealing with what’s Left in their midst.

833 – Multiculturalism—and the normalization of fascism | Salim Mansur

 Comments Off on 833 – Multiculturalism—and the normalization of fascism | Salim Mansur
Oct 192023
 


“When you cannot define something, it has no identity,” asserts our guest Salim Mansur in a statement that strikes at the heart of all politics and human rationality.

At question is the term “multiculturalism.” Salim has been calling it a “Delectable Lie” which is also the title of the book he wrote to repudiate that lie and to distinguish the natural social condition of “multi ethnicity” from the contradictory and undefinable concept of “multiculturalism.”

“Culture” describes a human collective based upon a set of commonly shared values. “Ethnicity” describes an individual, based on physical characteristics, language, religion, social tradition, and/or nation of origin, etc.

And while it is valid to say that a group of individuals sharing the same ethnicity and values can be called a “culture,” the same cannot be said about a multiple “group of cultures.” This is contradictory.

For example, if “two or more cultures” were said to share the same set of values, then by definition we would still be dealing with a single culture (i.e., Western culture). But if two or more cultures with widely differing and opposing values were to be grouped under a single identity, calling such a grouping a “culture” is an absurd contradiction because it completely invalidates the concept and definition of “culture.”

Hence, “multiculturalism” – the “ism” being key to the true nature of the concept (political), and of those who would promote it (politicians). Given the globalist agenda to destroy cultures and nationhood, the anti-concept “multiculturalism” was invented to accommodate and perpetuate a contradiction destructive to all real cultures. That contradiction is the real reason why the term can never be defined objectively.

Consequently, defining the term has been left to the subjective whims of the politicians forcing their destructive contradiction upon society, an agenda that by its nature is fascist. Thus by the simple acceptance of the term “multiculturalism” fascism itself has become normalized within the liberal cultures originally founded to prevent that from happening.

Fortunately, Salim’s warning against multiculturalism comes with a singular remedy that’s Just Right: “E pluribus unum” (Out of many, one).

Multiculturalism—Gateway to chaos | Salim Mansur

Oct 162023
 

United Kingdom Home Secretary Suella Braverman, along with other Western leaders, has shared concerns about multiculturalism, viewing it as a policy which has failed Western society. She sees it as a policy that has unintentionally led to the creation of isolated communities, where people live lives parallel to the rest of society, often challenging the institutions and laws of their host countries to promote their own collective and tribal goals.

In Canada, where multiculturalism is an official policy, we’ve witnessed the outcomes of significant, unrestricted immigration. People are bringing with them the collectivist influences of their own cultures. Whether it is the Khalistani separatists, Ukrainian Nazis, or Hamas supporters, to name but a few, the official endorsement of multiculturalism has permitted such groups to contributed to a cultural gap between the foundational classical liberal culture of the West and tribal sentiments and passions of less liberal societies.

Salim Mansur, professor emeritus at Western University, sheds light on this concerning political trend. Twelve years ago, he expressed his scholarly perspective in Delectable Lie: a liberal repudiation of multiculturalism. His views then as well as now, serve as a cautionary reminder of the potential chaos tied to the shortcomings of multiculturalism as a policy.

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.” – George Orwell

Over the past week, the world’s attention has been shifted from the “war” in Ukraine to a “war” in Israel. In a matter of days, everyone’s attention shifted from the previous week’s frenzy about Canada, Russia, Ukraine and the Nazis in our midst (including Jewish Nazis), to yet another event calculated to engender global sympathy for Israel and the Jewish people.

What is happening in Israel today is directly connected to events in Ukraine; any attempt to isolate one event from the other is to fail to understand that World War III is already well under way.

“Distant history will view all of these wars as nuances, concluding that Wars I, II, and III were really one catastrophic conflict with time out for rearmament and recruitment,” suggests Bill Whittle in his recent review of wars past and present.

War is not the greatest evil to fear. It is the condition of tyranny that results when collectivism rules instead of individualism, which has been the default condition under which most of humanity has lived since the beginning of recorded history.

It is a sad reality of history that the number of people killed in wars fought against foreign enemies is utterly dwarfed when compared to the number of people killed, murdered, and enslaved by their own rulers and governments. In this context, wars are mere flash points of a given tyranny running into resistance, more often from another tyranny than from any popular or democratic resistance. Hence, perpetual wars.

In the Western nations, tyrannies have been hastened with the consent of the people, a consent that does not necessarily mean agreement or support – just cooperation and compliance.

Too many have failed to resist or to speak out against a growing tyranny when the opportunity still exists. In the classic “I see nothing – I hear nothing – I know nothing” expression of denial popularized in the 1960s television series Hogan’s Heroes, most “say nothing” – even in the face of outrageous injustices and horrors.

Despite this, governments are doing all they can to silence the few voices that dare to speak out in an effort to prevent those voices from being heard by others. The antidote to tyranny, and therefore to war, is to ensure that a critical mass of people “see something, hear something, and know something” that is Just Right – and then act accordingly.

Canada’s unconscionable support of the most corrupt and evil regime on the planet – Ukraine – is consistent with its federal parliament having unanimously given two standing ovations (on September 22) to one of the most evil Nazi war criminals on the planet – Yaroslav Hunka.

So why is the Canadian parliament now pretending to be so embarrassed about honoring this Nazi, while simultaneously speaking with moral righteousness and pride about honoring another Nazi – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy?

More significantly, why is Canada so determined to support an openly Nazi regime responsible for unspeakable and reprehensible acts of murder terrorism and torture in Ukraine for many years now?

Our guest Salim Mansur offers a deeply uncomfortable response to these questions, forcing a discussion of one of the most taboo subjects anywhere. Taboo, because the reality of “Jewish Nazis” has become universally denounced as a contradiction in terms, and there are interests who want to keep that myth alive. As a safe haven for thousands of unvetted Nazis since the end of WW2, Canada is home to many of these interests, which explains much of the motivation behind Trudeau’s hatred of the Russians.

When Putin originally announced that he intended to “de-Nazify Ukraine” he was being quite literal and precise about the nature of the conflicts there. If Salim’s prediction that Putin will soon be “flinging the evidence (of Nazi criminality) in the face of the Western world” should come to pass, then the next move to take that would be Just Right is to “de-Nazify Canada.”

Ominous parallels—The Nazis among us | Salim Mansur

 Foreign Relations, Latest, Politics, Video  Comments Off on Ominous parallels—The Nazis among us | Salim Mansur
Oct 032023
 

On Friday, September 22nd, 2023, during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Canada’s Parliament extended a standing ovation to 98-year-old WWII veteran Yaroslav Hunka, honoring his contributions to Ukrainian independence against the Russians (Soviets) during WWII. However, concerns arose when it was revealed that Hunka was a former member of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division—a Nazi unit.

Swift apologies followed, and Speaker of the House, Anthony Rota, resigned from his position for introducing Hunka to Parliament. Justin Trudeau issued a typically Liberal, half-hearted apology, taking the opportunity to address alleged Russian misinformation.

Hunka now faces the possibility of deportation to Poland, and Canada’s global image took a hit, with Trudeau and other Parliamentarians facing criticism ranging from being labeled Nazi sympathizers to being accused of ignorance regarding history.

Salim Mansur of Western University sheds light on how someone like Hunka could be honored by Canada’s Parliament, emphasizing the importance of understanding Canada’s history and the prevailing ideology of today’s politicians.

Examining the current state of Canada under Trudeau, parallels with Germany during the Weimar Republic and the Nazis are highlighted, raising concerns about the ominous direction the country is heading.

To continue treating the fictional “2SLGBTQIA+ community” as if it was an actual constituency of some sort is playing the Left’s game. The invention of this imaginary community is part of an explicitly outlined Marxist agenda, which for the most part appears to be a fact left out of the broader discussion.

In the wake of Canada’s September 20th’s Million March for Children, every politician from Justin Trudeau to the mayors of local municipalities chimed in on their rehearsed opposition to the event. “I am alarmed by the increasingly harmful anti-2SLGBTQIA+ rhetoric that is being directed toward our schools,” declared Whitby Ontario mayor Elizabeth Roy.

Since her alarm in no way addressed the purpose of the Million March for Children and echoed the same misdirected and irrational message being repeated by politicians across the country, it was clear that this was outright political propaganda organized at some higher level.

Meanwhile, the union-organized counter protests also repeated the same propaganda, thus rendering them utterly unable to rationally articulate their case when asked to do so. This is understandable as the labor organizers of the counter protesters clearly stated they were there merely to “disrupt” those in the Million March for Children. Continue reading »

Sep 212023
 


Thanks to the release of a secret recording of a September 16 joint meeting organized by a “coalition” of labor groups, the public has been able to directly witness a self-described “co-conspiracy” to disrupt, demoralize, destroy, bully and intimidate marchers participating in the September 20 Million March for Children.

Led by the Ontario Federation of Labour, the Canadian Labour Congress, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), and various political sub-committees of these unions, the on-line meeting revealed an agenda bordering on criminal.

With a stated objective of “fighting against hate” the co-conspirators planned to “occupy” the areas where the children’s marches were taking place. It was even suggested to target, demoralize and intimidate individual marchers by recording their license plate numbers and letting them know they’re being watched.

Planned tactics included organizing “rapid response teams ready to combat this hate” with noise and disruption, and opposing any call for parental consent and parental authority. “Let’s give them some fright,” said the CUPE Ontario Human Rights Chair.

In order to justify their sinister agenda, the conspirators claim that they are protecting the “2SLGBTQIA+ community” from the “hate” of the marchers for children. However, not only is 2SLGBTQIA+ an absurd acronym for a fictional “community” that simply does not exist, what most do not know is that 2SLGBTQIA+ is a Marxist conspiracy of hate.

Only days ago, American economist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution Thomas Sowell described the campaign against parental authority this way: “This is not spontaneous. It’s organized and the tactics used are those developed for brainwashing in communist countries.”

Moreover, the obsession with promoting “drag queens” in public schools, and with the grooming of children too young to be confronted with sexual issues, is more than disturbing. There’s clearly something about these “activists” of the Left that’s not quite Just Right.

828 – The crisis narrative—from 9/11 to 2023

 Comments Off on 828 – The crisis narrative—from 9/11 to 2023
Sep 142023
 


In marking the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, we looked into our own archive to see how we ourselves were discussing what is today understood to have been a state orchestrated false flag, and what we said in 2001 was alarming. Our first public discussion on this criminal state psyop took place on September 19 2001, only eight days following what the late documentarian Graham McQueen recently called “the worst event since World War 2.”

The “Left Right and Center” panel discussion that aired on CJBK AM radio 1290 in London Ontario with host Jim Chapman, London lawyer Jeff Schlemmer, and Freedom Party president Robert Metz presented a shockingly prophetic narrative in the context of today’s dystopia. Significantly, there was no mention of Osama Bin Laden, no mention of any identifiable foreign enemies, and not even any mention of the term “9/11” which did not come into popular usage until it was later associated with a series of false narratives spread by American officials.

It is easy to have forgotten that in the first days following September 11, the only context of the public discussion was focused on the government’s agenda for dealing with “terrorism.” That agenda included lockdowns, censorship, the issuance of “identity cards” and a call to go to war against some as yet unknown enemy. Worse, Americans were being asked to express a “willingness to temporarily sacrifice some of their constitutional protections in the name of making America a safer place for everyone.”

Sound familiar? It was the identical crisis narrative being repeated today with respect to Covid, climate change, Russia, Ukraine, the stolen American election, the assassinations of American presidents and leaders and every current act of treason perpetrated by the deep state again surfacing in the state manufactured crises’ of 2023. Their entire agenda – from 9/11 to 2023 – has always been predicated on a state murdering its own citizens, while transitioning everyone else into submissive slaves. This is a difficult pill to swallow, no matter how you look at it.

Perhaps the most prophetic words to come out of our September 19/01 discussion occurred with the following observation by Metz:

“You will know that your civil liberties are infringed upon when the state tells you that you can’t meet, you can’t have more than four people at your house at one time, or you can’t say what you want.”

It is now 2023. Been there. Done that. And they’re still doing it.

Being able to predict the future in a way that turned out to be Just Right was simply one consequence of understanding the principles that eventually led to the creation of this radio broadcast/podcast bearing the same name.

827 – At the tipping point—toward the rise or fall of America

 Comments Off on 827 – At the tipping point—toward the rise or fall of America
Sep 072023
 


There is a growing chorus of voices throughout the social media community that is warning of an imminent collapse of Western civilization.

Given the dystopian zeitgeist, it is difficult to avoid such a conclusion. We appear to have reached a tipping point, where open discussion is taking place about the probability of an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the probability of a nuclear exchange between America and Russia, and the probability of censorship on a scale unprecedented.

Among the dystopian predictions is one concerning a “cyber attack,” including a complete shut down of the internet. This has sparked a discussion about the need for a return to “offline” media, including AM radio and short wave broadcasting.

“The future is offline,” recently predicted Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai – a significant prediction given that it was made by a U.S. presidential candidate and inventor of e-mail.

But the predictions are not all apocalyptic. Some hold promise, especially if considered “conspiracy theories” by the Left and the deep state. Most glaringly, the Left’s obsession with “Qanon” tempts us to comment “Methinks they doth protest too much…”

Meanwhile, General Michael Flynn has warned of a potential cyber attack, explaining how truly vulnerable the web is, and how easily the government can control it. For those seeking the facts and truth during such an event, access to alternative means of communication like short wave is among the recommended options.

Predicting which of the many apocalyptic predictions will prove to be Just Right is never a certainty, but it’s worth knowing that some predictions paint a future that is not dark, but bright.

826 – Nuclear consequences—behind the Manhattan Project | Salim Mansur

 Comments Off on 826 – Nuclear consequences—behind the Manhattan Project | Salim Mansur
Aug 312023
 


History can be described as “the consequences of consequences” suggests our guest, Salim Mansur. Consequently, like any science, history too is never “settled.”

Nothing could illustrate this principle more clearly than Salim’s latest analysis of the history behind America’s irrational hatred of all things Russian, which startlingly has a direct connection to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War 2.

Harry Truman’s decision to use nuclear weapons in Japan came on the heels of their successful development made possible by the Manhattan Project. The bombing of Hiroshima marked the break in America’s wartime alliance with Russia, instantly converting an ally into an enemy, argues Salim. It was also the “first shot taken in the cold war.”

It is a chilling account of the development of what has been called the “deep state” and of the military-industrial-complex with which it is associated. The Manhattan Project was itself evidence of a deep state already deeply entrenched, though then, as with revelations about today’s deep state, its existence was unknown – even to some of the highest officials in the country.

The great tragedy behind the bombings of Japan is that they were known at the time to be militarily unnecessary, and were sadly motivated by the Truman administration’s political considerations concerning America’s future relationship with Russia.

During his previous discussion on Just Right, Salim warned that a disinterest in history is a symptom of a nihilistic society since a culture or nation without a past cannot steer itself to a better future.

As if to illustrate this truth, his latest journey down the “rabbit hole” of history surrounding the Manhattan Project, the bombing of Japan, and America’s anti-Russian obsession, has revealed a world that today is close to repeating a tragic historical consequence far from being Just Right.

Truman, the atomic bomb, and the rise of the Deep State | Salim Mansur

 Comments Off on Truman, the atomic bomb, and the rise of the Deep State | Salim Mansur
Aug 292023
 

It was President Trump who called them the “Deep State,” that “fourth branch of government,” which acts in secret, furthering its own aims, led by the Neo-Cons and attached by the hip to the CIA and other alphabet agencies. President Eisenhower warned us about them. To him, they were the “Military-Industrial Complex.” However, it was under President Harry S. Truman, Eisenhower’s predecessor, that the Deep State was conceived, as our guest Professor Salim Mansur of Western University in London, Ontario, states.

“Ukraine, the most corrupt country in the world, is a laundromat for the Military-Industrial Complex in America. How did this happen? It didn’t happen overnight. The derailment began with a decision by Truman.”

In an article titled “Revisiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki: the path not taken,” published on Salim’s Substack (salimmansur.substack.com), he clearly lays out the argument that Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945, and keeping his ally, the Soviet Union, in the dark about it, set into motion diplomatic actions that resulted in the Cold War and the animosity which America still feels towards Russia 78 years later. It is an irrational hatred which has led to the current proxy war in Ukraine. A war, it should be mentioned, where more Ukrainian soldiers have died in the past year and a half than all of the American servicemen who died in both theaters of WWII.

Join Salim and Robert for a fascinating look at the history of the birth of Deep State and the Forever Wars of the United States.

825 – Apocalyptic—awakening to our Orwellian dystopia

 Comments Off on 825 – Apocalyptic—awakening to our Orwellian dystopia
Aug 242023
 


In Canada, Ottawa detective Helen Grus is currently being subjected to an official disciplinary hearing due to her investigation of nine cases of sudden infant death syndrome that led her to question the vaccination status of the mothers involved. Following the release of Pfizer’s own published data confirming that breast feeding when vaccinated could lead to the death or injury of the babies, her follow-up was in every respect consistent with all expected initiatives that would be undertaken by a police officer specializing in crimes against children.

Astoundingly, observers at the hearing have not only concluded that the process is corrupt and thoroughly unjust, but more alarmingly, have concluded that Canada is now a fully established communist country. That awakening, coming in 2023, is itself evidence of the tremendous social and political inertia that must be overcome in order to alert citizens to the extreme danger facing them, since Canada has been a communist country for several decades and longer.

Though socialism can be blamed for Canada’s current “sudden death syndrome,” the acceptance of this evil collectivism was neither “sudden” nor accidental. In the Orwellian year of 1984, Canada was already well on its way moving on from socialism to communism and its natural ally, fascism.

America’s political condition is no different. As in Canada, a broad lack of knowledge and understanding about all things political (as opposed to electoral) provides a fertile breeding ground for collectivism. Continue reading »

824 – The anonymous Q—behind the ‘Qanon’ psyop

 Comments Off on 824 – The anonymous Q—behind the ‘Qanon’ psyop
Aug 172023
 


Donald Trump’s recent social media posting featuring Dr Jan Halper-Hayes’ comments on a GBnews interview raised a few eyebrows, while most observers tried to look the other way.

As someone who sat on a task force at the department of defense during Trump’s presidency, Halper-Hayes asserted “If you think that they don’t have the actual real results from the (2020) election, then you’re fooling yourself.” And in referring to the US military and the Trump-created Space Force as being the means by which such evidence was collected, those raising their eyebrows at such a claim understood that this has been the narrative of the so-called “Qanon conspiracy theory” since its beginnings.

Skepticism abounds. The deep state’s appointed poster boy for its January 6 “insurrection” narrative, Jake Angeli-Chansley (falsely labeled as the “Qanon Shaman”) has recently been released from his unconscionable imprisonment in solitary confinement and is now being heard on many of the top social media platforms.

In addressing his purported (and non-existent) role as the “Qanon Shaman,” the articulate, intelligent, and well-spoken Shaman nevertheless offered an eye-opening description and insight into the “Q” that completes the narrative of Dr Jan Halper-Hayes, and which resolves some of our own unanswered questions regarding the phenomenon.

“Qanon is a myth” he says, “a psyop” (psychological operation) manufactured to discredit the “Q” – another psyop consisting of a group of high level military operatives who support Trump and the constitutional integrity of the United States.

It appears to be a developing conflict of biblical proportions, all currently focused on the electoral validity of the 2020 election and on the 2024 electability of Donald Trump. For the “Q” psyop, the first agenda is to set the record straight on each count, thus opening the door for Trump to do what is Just Right.

The latest round of indictments against Donald Trump is so absurd, and the accusations so demonstrably false, that one must wonder about the state of mind that that could be driving them.

Why Trump’s insistence that the last federal election was stolen should even be a concern to his accusers is a question that can only be understood in light of their terror. So desperate are they to make some kind of case against Trump, that their argument has now boiled down to an absurd assertion that their “case could hinge on whether he believed his lies.”

With political rhetoric like “You can put all kinds of whipped cream on manure, and it’s still manure” used to justify their charges against Trump, you can smell the crap on which such arguments are piled. The “manure” in question, of course, is the fact of the stolen election – called “lies” by Trump’s accusers.

Fascinatingly, the case has once again forced the spotlight on the violent nature of the Left in contrast to the peaceful nature of the Right. “Violence is only the domain of the Left,” Stew Peters correctly observed in his assessment of the January 6 “uprising” for which Trump is being blamed. Along with the violence, Leftist politicians rely on misrepresenting their legitimacy as democratic representatives, which is essentially what their whole case against Trump is all about.

In projecting all of their electoral evils and crimes on to Trump, the Left has found itself resorting to the manipulation of language and rhetoric calculated to justify unprecedented and outrageous assertions. They, not Trump, have forced the long existing polarization of America’s politics to surface, and that is a good thing because now more are able to see the true nature of the binary choice before them.

Those on the Left who condemn Trump for being a “polarizing” figure are mistaken in their condemnation, but Just Right about the fact that Trump represents their polar opposite.

822 – UFO disclosures—alien threat or earthly distraction?

 Comments Off on 822 – UFO disclosures—alien threat or earthly distraction?

In light of the recent UFO disclosure hearings before the US congress, it is interesting to observe that debate over the UFO phenomenon is as divisive as any of the current political conflicts have been.

More alarmingly, the controversies surrounding UFO disclosures possess many parallels to the controversies regarding everything from the war in Ukraine to fighting climate change.

If ever there was an issue that exposes the willingness or unwillingness of people to accept a narrative purported to be true, it is the alienated issue of UFOs (unidentified flying objects) and the implications of extraterrestrial intelligent life capable of advanced technology.

It’s a polarizing prospect. The nature of the issue forces a binary choice upon those hearing such narratives. Believe. Disbelieve.

Those who claim to maintain an “open mind” on the subject are often permanent skeptics rarely open about what evidence or testimony would sway them one way or the other. By default, this puts them in the “disbelieve” camp since in this context there are no third options. Alien agnosticism still means that the alien proposition has not been accepted.

For most earth-bound human beings any serious discussion about aliens and UFOs is a discussion also alien to the daily concerns of their lives. On the other hand, for those fascinated with the topic and convinced that its implications are profound, the broader lack of interest in so grand a revelation can be both frustrating and infuriating.

When it comes to UFO disclosures, many appear to be anticipating some kind of public reaction that’s Just Right, when in fact there may be no such thing.

821 – Democracy reconsidered—in the light of freedom

The manipulation of language and definitions is the primary tool of state control and tyranny. Arbitrarily replacing established definitions with anti-concepts makes for effective propaganda. The words “democracy” and “freedom” are perhaps two of the most manipulated concepts in this regard.

For example, witness Joe Biden’s obsessive compulsion with “democracy,” by which he means tyranny and censorship. Then contrast Biden’s “democracy” with that of Tucker Carlson’s “democracy” – a society synonymous with freedom and in which freedom of speech is paramount.

Paradoxically, each view is valid depending on the context and specific application. The paradox lies in the fact that, like freedom, democracy is more a political “condition” than an established system of governance.

Just as freedom arises when governments protect their citizens’ right to life, liberty and property, so too democracy arises to the extent that “the people” become involved in the process of governance. However, unrestricted by the principles underlying freedom, democracy permits “the people” to violate each other’s rights to life, liberty and property – subject only to a “majority” vote.

Thus the debate over defining a nation’s political “condition” (freedom, democracy) and “form” (republics, constitutionally limited monarchies, etc) carries on without any firm resolution regarding the true nature of a democracy.

820 – Nuclear considerations—about war and peace | Salim Mansur

In his assessment of what has caused the West to morally degrade into a self-inflicted state of nihilism, our guest Salim Mansur cites two different “nuclear” developments, one concerning nuclear weapons, the other concerning the nuclear family.

“Developments” occur over time, and require both hindsight and foresight to be seen. This demands an understanding of history combined with philosophy, two disciplines that have been abandoned in the vacuum of today’s WOKE culture.

Disinterest in history is a symptom of a nihilistic society, explains Salim. As the West sits on the precipice of nuclear war, the question arises which of the two “nuclear” concerns is the greater – the explosion of a nuclear bomb, or the implosion of the nuclear family. As we learn, these two themes are very intertwined, representing both a consequence and a cause behind our culture of narcissism – a “death culture.”

Most significantly, unlike America’s opposition to the Vietnam war during a time when America imposed conscription, opposition to war in 2023 in relative terms does not exist (thanks to the fact that Richard Nixon ended the draft during his presidency). This would suggest that the so-called “protesters against war” were less against war itself than they were against being forced to participate in war.

As the popular 60s-era war protest song “Where have all the flowers gone?” lamented, it sadly appears that it may yet be some time off before the answer to that question is understood in a way that is Just Right.

Where have all the flowers gone? | Salim Mansur

In 1955, songwriter Pete Seeger penned the quintessential anti-war folk song “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?,” which would later resonate with the public expressing opposition to the Military-Industrial Complex’s involvement in Southeast Asia in the 1960s. Today, there is a noticeable absence of comparable songs that rally people against governments’ decisions to prolong the conflict in Ukraine—decisions resulting in significant loss of life and expenditure.

The absence of widespread protest and condemnation from the public seems to be emboldening our politicians to persist with their controversial war strategies. The silence and apparent indifference can inadvertently be interpreted as consent, raising concerns about the potential escalation to a full-scale armed conflict between NATO countries and Russia. While the use of nuclear weapons in such a scenario remains unlikely, it was a genuine fear during the 1960s, leading to the construction of fallout shelters in backyards and drills that taught children to seek shelter during a nuclear attack.

Professor Salim Mansur from Western University joins Robert Vaughan in discussing this perceived indifference among the public towards an impending global conflict, drawing a comparison to the protest movements of the Beatniks and Hippies in the 60s. They contend that Western culture underwent significant changes over the past fifty years, with any semblance of reason and objectivity being supplanted by wokeism and subjectivity. They conclude that the West has become a culture of nihilism, narcissism, and hedonism led by the self-absorbed and immature and that our anti-intellectual culture could potentially lead to the end of what remains of our civilization.

819 – JFK’s war for peace | Salim Mansur

 Comments Off on 819 – JFK’s war for peace | Salim Mansur
Jul 132023
 


The desire for peace is a bit like the desire to become rich and famous; both are ends, not means.

When President John F Kennedy delivered his June 10 1963 “Peace speech” at American University in Washington DC, he was promoting a means for peace that was in direct conflict with the ends of America’s military industrial complex. And this, suggests our guest Professor emeritus Salim Mansur, is what led to Kennedy’s eventual assassination: “The murder of Kennedy was a victory for the deep state.”

Kennedy’s speech was delivered sixty years ago, when America narrowly avoided a nuclear confrontation with Russia (the Soviet Union). Today in 2023 the same threat between the same two super-powers is being played out on the world stage for all to see.

However In retrospect, we now understand that in both cases America was the provocateur, given its earlier placement of nuclear missiles in Turkey and its current threat of doing the same in Ukraine. Small wonder that Salim believes “America has morphed into the leading rogue state in the world today,” and that John F Kennedy was a man “ahead of his time.”

With Kennedy’s assertion that “Peace and freedom walk together,” it was clear he understood the relationship between means and ends in a way that is Just Right.

Peace For All Time: Reflections on John F. Kennedy’s Peace Speech | Salim Mansur

 Foreign Relations, Latest, Military, Politics, Video  Comments Off on Peace For All Time: Reflections on John F. Kennedy’s Peace Speech | Salim Mansur
Jul 082023
 


This year marks the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s “Peace Speech” which was given on June 10th, 1963 as the commencement address at American University.

It was a speech quickly forgotten by the press, perhaps because it spoke of peace rather than of war. As Kennedy himself remarked at the time, “I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war—and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task.”

Kennedy’s remarkable oration was given just months after the Cuban Missile Crisis and at a time when the world was readying itself for a nuclear exchange with the Soviet Union. It is all the more urgent that we revisit Kennedy’s momentous words as we are today teetering on the brink of a nuclear war with Russia. This time, however, the belligerent parties are not the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact they are the United States and NATO.

On June 7th, Salim Mansur, professor emeritus at the University of Western Ontario published an article on Substack called “Blessed are the peacemakers: Recalling JFK.” In it, he brings into context our current predicament with Russia and likens it to those dramatic events of 60 years ago.

In this conversation Salim and Robert Vaughan review Kennedy’s presentation in the hope that some might remember that no matter what issue of the day has political favor they all pale in comparison to the very real threat of a World War between powers who both possess nuclear weapons and that there are wise words from the past which offer up a solution to such madness.

818 – DemocraZy—the politics of the Left

Democracy and freedom of speech go hand in hand. Yet today, those preaching “democracy” the loudest are busy legislating censorship and state regulations against freedom of expression.

Canada has recently passed Bill C-18, the Online News Act, yet another nail in the legislated coffin of free speech in that country. The Act is designed to extort funds from social media platforms that feature Canadian news reports, and to distribute that money to state favored Canadian news propaganda outlets.

In response, Facebook and others chose to eliminate all Canadian news content from their platforms entirely. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau then announced that it was “extremely disappointing to see that Facebook continues to refuse to accepts its responsibility towards our democracies by refusing to pay the fair share for Canadians to get local news and independent, rigorous journalistic content.”

For Trudeau and the Left, a government enforced “responsibility towards our democracies” is also their official cause cited for everything from mandated lockdowns and vaccinations to fighting climate change and waging war against Russia.

More ominously, the Canadian government is planning to introduce an Online Safety Act allowing it to jail and/or fine those it considers guilty of disseminating “hate speech” or of spreading “misinformation” or “disinformation.” This is ironic, given that the Trudeau government itself routinely does these things as a matter of course.

For the Left, these terms are epistemological weapons used to justify the censorship of those who disagree with them. That’s why those who accuse others of hate speech are always those who “hate speech” that is Just Right.

817 – Still singing in the reign (of tyranny) – just music that’s Just Right

 Comments Off on 817 – Still singing in the reign (of tyranny) – just music that’s Just Right
Jun 292023
 


As this year’s Canada Day (July 1) and Independence Day (July 4) approach, it is a tragedy that the freedoms once associated with these celebrations of nationhood no longer exist.

Canadians and Americans alike have found themselves living in a reign of tyranny – justified by fighting Covid and climate change, transgender ideology, racism, identity politics and a whole host of make-believe crisis’ created to hide the real crisis of tyranny itself.

One traditional way to protest tyranny has been to celebrate freedom through music and entertainment. We first featured our own sampling of voices “singing in the reign (of tyranny)” at the end of 2021; it is now mid 2023 and that tyranny still continues to reign.

Therefore in continuing the spirit of both protest and celebration, we are pleased to shower you with our second broadcast entirely dedicated to musical selections where the artists not only have something to “play” but something to “say” about the zeitgeist in which we live.

What better way to celebrate each country’s national heritage – of freedom – than with more music that’s Just Right.

816 – Proof—that ideas matter

 Comments Off on 816 – Proof—that ideas matter
Jun 222023
 


Ideas matter. Those that are false can lead to tragic consequences while those that are valid can lead to great opportunities and well-being. But how can we reliably prove which are true and which are false?

In our search for truth, demanding “proof” for everything we know and experience in life is perhaps less an asset than a handicap caused by living in a scientific age. “Blinded by science” is a great expression describing an irrational demand for proof. It is also a good way to describe those who are fooled by demands that we “follow the science,” little realizing that the “science” they are actually following is “political science.”

Fortunately, the road to truth is less about requiring “proof” than it is about articulately and consistently expressing ourselves using ideas based on valid concepts and definitions. Armed with such concepts, it not only becomes much easier to identify the truth, but also easier to reveal those who would change and alter definitions to hide the truth. Such people know that truth is knowledge and knowledge is power.

Naturally, the power of truth represents a threat to those who maintain power through falsehoods and lies. For them, the best way to prevent people from discovering the truth is by controlling or prohibiting freedom of speech. And this is exactly what is being done.

When it comes to validating truth, the “proof” as they say, “is in the pudding.” History has demonstrated that freedom emerges when people express their ideas defined in a way that is Just Right, but the truth is that there’s no way to “prove” it – despite the evidence.
