“I’ve gone from being a patriotic Canadian to the point where I wouldn’t risk a hangnail for Canada,” laments our guest Mark Vandermaas. “Canada’s done. There is no political solution; there is no legal solution.”

A retired member of the Canadian armed forces, Mark’s experience as a Canadian activist included his being arrested for carrying a Canadian flag in public. This was perhaps an event symbolic of his ultimate decision to escape the tyranny in Canada and thus be able to say: “We love our life in Ecuador.”

In sharing his story of how he came to ultimately choose Ecuador as his destination, Mark’s narrative of events describing Canada’s descent into tyranny serve as a chilling reminder of just “how fast a supposedly civilized society can go off the rails.”

Referring to the Canada of today as a “grotesquely racist country,” whose national pass time has become “hating people,” Mark is convinced that Canada is not “fixable” and is doomed to collapse as a nation. Continue reading »

Escaping Neverland—A Canadian refugee in Ecuador | Mark Vandermaas

“When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…” These immortal words from the Declaration of Independence heralded the birth of a great nation, forged in revolution against despotic rule. Today, however, one man has chosen a quieter path to freedom: relocating from Canada to Ecuador to escape the creeping shadow of political tyranny.

That is precisely what Mark Vandermaas and his wife did after life in Canada had grown unpredictably autocratic. Host, Robert Vaughan, likened his homeland to the Neverland of Peter Pan, where the Lost Boys remained children, perpetually stunted in their growth and maturity, unable to become responsible adults and forever treated like children by a paternalistic, stern, and stifling government.

Confronted by a relentless onslaught of encroachments upon their personal liberties—assaults that permeated the lives of every Canadian—they swiftly packed their belongings and departed for the serene, temperate elevations of that comparatively tranquil nation. They established their new home in the city of Cuenca, nestled high amid the majestic Andes Mountains.

In our discussion, we explore Mark’s activism in Canada, the pivotal decision he and his wife made to emigrate, and the striking contrasts in politics and culture between Canada and Ecuador.

935 – There’s no time like the future

As strange as it may seem, there are many cultures whose concept of ‘time’ literally do not include any recognition of a ‘future.’ While this may seem an innocuous and harmless notion, unfortunately it may be symptomatic of a dark cultural malaise.

Sounding an alarm about the danger this presents to Western culture, UK podcaster Connor Tomlinson recently warned that “we don’t understand how Africa thinks” and that “we don’t understand how the third world thinks.” In two separate presentations warning about the risks and dangers of immigration by people who fail to conceptualize any concept of a ‘future,’ his insights and analysis certainly do explain many behaviors and attitudes about such immigrants not previously understood.

Citing the African concepts of Sasa (Sasha) and Zamani as the two dimensions of time, he concludes that “we can’t have a civilization if people don’t think the future exists.”

Sasa is described by African philosophers as the “now, the recent past and the immediate future which can be experienced.” Zamani is the “vast endless past where all events eventually go on to live forever, but the ‘future’ in African thought barely exists.” Continue reading »

934 – Identity politics—the multicultural monoculture

Identity politics has become a parody of itself, to the point where it has become a multicultural monoculture of irrationality based on collectivist anti-concepts.

The most obvious evidence of identity politics is the rise of racism, and because the racist Left has falsely trumpeted that label so loudly and for so long, it has not only lost its meaning, but has become increasingly dismissed by most people not on the Left.

This itself presents a danger because actual racism does exist; to simply dismiss the term entirely risks failing to see racism when it is practiced.

As Ayn Rand observed so many years ago: “Today, racism is regarded as a crime if practiced by a majority – but as an inalienable right if practiced by a minority.” Continue reading »

928 – Shooting blind—at shooter motives

Given the alarming number of recent mass shootings, have we been shooting blind in our own analysis of these shooters’ motives?

In attempting to zero in on the underlying cause of these once unheard-of events, one is faced with an overwhelming array of symptoms, explanations and suggested solutions.

In addition to the mass shootings at religious functions and institutions themselves, these include: mental health disorders; gender dysphoria; anti-depressant drugs; SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors); guns and weapons; law enforcement; ‘safety’ laws and regulations; sexual dysfunctions; cognitive dysfunctions; atheism; Covid experimental gene therapies; Christianity; private property rights; the right to self defense; government disinformation and misinformation; medical malpractice and disinformation; thought disorders of faulty thinking; castle laws; state protection rackets; anarcho-tyranny; the right to bear arms.

While many of these concerns may seem unrelated, when one steps back for the ‘big picture’ view, what is particularly alarming is how so-called ‘big pharma’ in conjunction with intelligence agencies seem to have played a central role in the tragedies – in particular with regard to the use of drugs classified as SSRIs.

924 – Jean therapy—against the WOKE virus

Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle blue jeans ad has proven to be a ‘jean therapy’ against the WOKE virus. But is it a cure?

The literally insane reactions to the ad by a myriad of women saying that they are objecting to ‘eugenics’ was both laughable and tragic. Calling upon vague and contrived associations with Hitler, their objections were justified using terms and arguments like the following:

“Sweeney has great genes; she’s a Nazi; she’s fascist; she’s a racist; she owns a German shepherd as her dog whistle; her initials spell ‘SS’; she has white skin, blue eyes and blue jeans; American Eagle is promoting fascist propaganda, Christian nationalism and white supremacy; Sweeney is Hitler’s wet dream; cotton jeans are racist; American Eagle is reviving the Third Reich; Sweeney represents white supremacist patriarchy capitalistic beauty standards; the ads portray fascist aesthetics; the script is bigoted BS,” and much much more.

923 – The Obama bombshell—and the call for accountability

 Comments Off on 923 – The Obama bombshell—and the call for accountability
Jul 302025
 


In the wake of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s bombshell report regarding former U.S. President Barrack Hussein Obama’s traitorous actions against the United States of America and its citizens, there are many voices calling for some kind of serious and real accountability. But in the absence of any such accountability over past political actions that were demonstrably harmful and destructive to the lives of Americans, it is understandable that many remain skeptical about such a possibility.

But the elusiveness of achieving ‘accountability’ in government may be the consequence of deeper forces beyond any individual’s direct control. Unfortunately, in a democracy governed with the ‘consent of the governed,’ the difficulty in holding individual politicians ‘accountable’ for their political actions is an unavoidable part of the democratic process itself. After all, the usual way for politicians to be held ‘accountable’ for their political shortcomings has simply been by losing elections.

So maybe the real story here is not just about Obama’s traitorous actions, but also about how and why so many Americans – supposedly citizens of a free society – either could not see Obama’s anti-Americanism, or worse, openly supported it. So who’s really accountable?

When Obama first became president in 2008, it was glaringly clear that he was no friend of America. Calling upon Americans to “summon a new spirit of service,” his collectivist philosophy became much more explicit in his second term, when during his January 2013 inaugural speech he announced that “preserving our individual freedom requires collective action.” Continue reading »
