967 – Shift happens—from tabula rasa to tabula plena

In the midst of a growing pandemic of stupidity, many are becoming alarmed at the degree of cognitive decline that threatens civilization itself.

This decline can be measured by record high illiteracy rates, the acceptance of absurd ideas like believing that men can be women, and by an inability to understand the evils of socialism or to appreciate the benefits of individual freedom.

Thus the question arises: How can human behavior be shifted from its growing state of stupidity back to a state of common sense and rationality? Podcaster Maria Karlova explains that a person’s change in thinking doesn’t come gradually through accumulated evidence or experience; it comes as a phase shift.

“The shift happens when you stop assuming that what the system tells you should actually make any sense. When you stop trying to find a ‘reason’ for arrangements that were never designed to be reasonable, the system’s architecture becomes visible the moment you stop expecting it to be sane.” Continue reading »

966 – Britain’s Far Right—zeroing in on the Right label

May 272026

Organized and led by Tommy Robinson, Britain’s May 16 2026 ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally/march was condemned by Prime Minister Kier Starmer as an event organized by “convicted thugs and racists peddling hatred and division. Plain and simple.”

Calling it a “march designed to confront and intimidate this diverse city and country,” Starmer argued that his “Labour government will block Far Right agitants from travelling to Britain for that event. Because we will not allow people to come to the U.K. to threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets.”

But instead of dissuading people from attending, it was perhaps the most effective promotional announcement for the event that could possibly have been scripted. Far from being attended by only 60.000 people as some Leftist media sources reported, it was by far the largest event of its kind in British history. Continue reading »

965 – Economics—just a socialist econspiracy?

May 202026

One could argue that the Left has been using the very word ‘economics’ as an ‘econspiracy’ towards its objective of seizing the means of production.

As explained by Franck Zanu, host of the Zanu Project Rethink, “economics is simply a social science” which studies the mechanisms of supply and demand. But with socialist politicians promising to deliver ‘economic power’ to their constituents, he points out that there is no such thing: “It is not a tangible thing that anybody can ‘give’ anybody.”

Lamenting that most people do not understand the relationship between citizens and government, he warns that those who believe “that a government’s job is to give people economic power… are doomed forever.”

Worse, with socialist proclamations that the ‘top one or two per cent’ control 90% of a nation’s wealth, it is forgotten that, as Zanu explains: “the two per cent are not ‘controlling’ the economy – they created it.” Continue reading »

964 – Why socialism is evil—Every Variant Is Leftist

With socialists and communists occupying elected positions in both the United States and Canada, how is it possible that so many people living in the most free nations on earth could possibly embrace the ideology of socialism?

That’s a question plaguing many on the Right, who often mistakenly assume that those on the Left share their love of individual freedom.

“From each according to his ability to each according to his need” has long been a socialist bromide, seen by some as a virtuous altruistic ideology upon which a society should be based.

But one need only take that slogan literally to recognize that this is a prescription for human slavery – the very political prescription that is followed by socialist, communist, and fascist dictatorships everywhere. Continue reading »

963 – Reservations not required—they’re just an Indian Act

Comments Off

In the wake of outrageous and absurd ‘indigenous land claims’ being made on lands and territories where no such claims can possibly be valid, the time has long passed to settle a few issues and questions surrounding the real political agenda behind these claims.

From the issue of basic definitions and terms, to the actual history of North America’s Indians, and to their current conditions when segregated on ‘Indian reservations,’ ignorance about these factors has led to the creation of racist narratives used by the Left to justify its continual attacks against basic private property rights.

On the definition front, in his May 3 Substack article, Robert Vaughan explains that “The myth of the ‘indigenous’ somehow being special is simply that – a myth.” Citing the roots and definition of the word ‘indigenous,’ he observes that “Nobody can be considered to be ‘Indigenous’ to the place they currently live – not the English in Britain, not the Chinese in China, and not the ‘Indigenous’ peoples of North America.”

Beyond this epistemological crisis, there have been decades of fictional stories and histories told about North America’s Indians, leading to the false impression that ‘racism’ was somehow at the root of the disputes and wars between them and the new European settlers. But far from being peaceful and noble stewards of the land, as so many narratives depict them, “The Indians were brutal – to settlers and to each other.” (Matt Walsh, April 2, 2026) Continue reading »

962 – Have no faith in constitution—but in yourselves

Apr 292026

Preserving the free nation that has been handed down to its descendants is a mission that many on the Right would wholeheartedly defend, and rightly so.

Towards that end, the importance or significance of having a written constitution to preserve and identify certain basic principles and rules upon which such a country is founded is paramount.

However, even when such documents exist, laws and constitutions aren’t worth the paper they’re written on if the people to whom they apply no longer abide by them.

When it comes right down to it, with or without a written constitution, all societies are effectively governed or ruled by convention. That means that whatever current values and practices are being applied and broadly accepted without resistance or opposition effectively become the law. Continue reading »

961 – The Right’s struggle—with being Right

Comments Off

Apr 222026

How is it that ‘socialism’ continues to gain so much popular and political support when it should be understood by all that socialism destroys wealth and causes poverty?

And how is it that ‘capitalism’ continues to lose popular and political support when it should be understood by all that capitalism is the only system capable of producing wealth and creating prosperity?

As many on the Right struggle to understand this, they have been entertaining the idea that the Right has a ‘branding problem.’ Ironically this is correct, but the ‘problem’ is less about ‘branding’ than it is about a failure to precisely define what it is that requires branding.

For example, among the various factions considered to be on the Right are ‘small-c conservatives,’ libertarians, patriots, freedom-loving individuals, nationalists, free trade advocates, constitutionalists, reformers and others. Continue reading »
