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.

753 – Oh Canada!—Farewell the peaceful kingdom

Comments Off

Apr 072022

In 1995, Canadian historian Joe C.W. Armstrong published his monumental work: Farewell the Peaceful Kingdom – The Seduction and Rape of Canada, 1963 to 1994. In retrospect, it is an alarming account of Canadian politics made all the more so by its chilling 1995 prediction perfectly describing the Canada of 2022 and beyond.

Consider what was written on page 2 of the introductory chapter: “Increasingly it is evident that technocrats will be the only ones with great wealth while the bulk of humankind sinks to a level of slavery previously unknown. In his trenchant work Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, Neil Postman writes:

“’It is to be expected that the winners will encourage the losers to be enthusiastic about computer technology. They will tell them that their lives will be conducted more efficiently. But discreetly they neglect to say from whose point of view the efficiency is warranted or what might be its costs…’”

Although there was no way for anyone in 1995 to be aware of terms like ‘Agenda 2020’ or the ‘Great Re-set,’ we have already witnessed the technocratic elite encourage us to be enthusiastic about “owning nothing and being happy.” And they’ve also announced their high-tech plans to conduct our lives more efficiently via their patented injections and ‘vax’ passports.

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.

750 – Ukraine’s bio-illogical labyrinth

Comments Off

Mar 172022

In observing the ‘mainstream’ media’s attempts to interpret Vladimir Putin’s strategy in Ukraine, one can see that they are at a loss because Putin’s actions do not match their own narratives, expectations, or Left-wing biases.

Despite Putin’s explicit and measured advance announcements regarding his intentions in Ukraine – and despite clear evidence that he has thus far followed through on them – Western media pundits appear to be completely confused about Putin’s strategy, to the point where their ‘confusion’ is suspect.

As a typical example, long-time syndicated British columnist Gwynn Dyer argued that Putin’s strategy was the result of “magical thinking.” He wrote: “Standard Russian doctrine for attacking a country the size of Ukraine calls for methodical advance, with massive artillery and air strikes paving the way and logistical support following close behind.”

Because Putin did not adhere to this ‘doctrine’ and instead followed through on his own declared intentions, Dyer resorted to what might be called ‘magical reporting’ by declaring Putin’s ‘invasion’ a failure and by never once mentioning the American-funded bio-labs already known to be in Ukraine. Known as ‘lying by omission,’ this practice has become a mainstay of the “fake news” media – in addition to simply lying by lying.

Watching the mainstream media pundits churn and squirm as they try to reconcile their fake narratives with the real circumstances in Ukraine surely has a certain entertainment value. However, the tragedy behind all of this fake news comedy is that there are still millions who believe the lies and drink the mind-poisoning ‘kool aid’ with the passion of a drug addict in need of a fix.

Particularly disturbing is the spectacle of citizens in Western nations clamouring to help and support a country as corrupt as Ukraine – while condemning those fighting the corruption. In their semi-conscious state induced by media propaganda, they’ll never be able to understand what’s ‘wrong’ in Ukraine, let alone ever discover what’s Just Right.

749 – Shattered Truths—from Covid to Ukraine

Comments Off

Mar 102022

What do Covid-19, mandated vaccinations, rotating lockdowns, the stolen US election, coronavirus, bio-labs, genetic engineering, Russia, NATO, inflation, the Canadian and American Truckers’ convoy, the millions of adverse reactions to the mandated injections, mask mandates, climate change, censorship and the crisis in Ukraine all have in common?

On all these issues, the so-called ‘mainstream media’ has been relentlessly creating confusion and distrust in an effort to keep the public from recognizing the real nature of the threat: Globalism and the Great Re-set.

In addition to their steady stream of propaganda of lies and disinformation, globalists have been forced to resort to censorship and other instruments of tyranny to achieve their objectives. There are so many seemingly separate issues to disentangle from one another that the task seems insurmountable.

As each of the globalist narratives begins to crumble, doubt begins to enter the minds of those who originally believed them. And when one’s ‘truth’ has been shattered, a very personal crisis ensues. That’s because a ‘shattered truth’ can only be shattered through one’s own discovery and acknowledgement that some ‘other’ truth exists – a narrative that differs from the previously held belief.

The personal crisis ends when one can see the truth in a light that’s Just Right, even when the truth reveals an uncomfortable reality that isn’t right in any way.

War in Ukraine—Thucydides, Solzhenitsyn, and Lincoln

Foreign Relations, Latest, Military, Politics, Video Comments Off

Mar 052022

Both Russia and Ukraine have refused to learn the lessons from history and, as a consequence, they are repeating the mistakes of the past.

Our guest, Salim Mansur likens Ukraine to the tiny island of Milos during the Peloponnesian Wars. The rulers of Milos were given the chance, under insurmountable odds, to pay deference to the superior force of mighty Athens and choose life for its people. They chose death.

As for Russia, the historical lesson is how great leaders facing division among their people in the aftermath of war choose to heal those divisions, reconcile differences, and do those things necessary to avoid further conflict. Abraham Lincoln was one such leader. After a bloody civil war and a nation divided. He healed the wounds of war, united North and South spiritually and laid the groundwork for the United States to become a beacon of hope for the world.

As Salim points out, Putin is no Lincoln but after the breakup of the Soviet Union, the opportunity for reconciliation with the former Warsaw Pact nations and the rest of the world including Ukraine still exists.

On the side of the West, Biden is a walking demonstration of the rottenness that is inside America and the rest of the Western world. It remains to Putin to rise to the occasion and learn from the lessons of history.
