Most things are so much more expensive in Western Europe than North America (often due to excessive taxation) that I doubt most French farmers could afford to install sprinkler systems and pay for the extra water. Lots of farming in France is still — for the moment — done on small farms. But I’m no expert; that’s just my guess from what I…[Read more] -

Baal Gates is the iconic example of Asperger-type behavior. I’ve had several friends and acquaintances in information technology, and I get the impression it’s one of the career fields Asperger sufferers are drawn to, or are able to function well in. -

“WHAT IF” they have a condition? Can there be any doubt?? (But I’m not sure it’s Asperger syndrome.) -

Don’t worry — Mr. Globaloney has a plan. Once he gets the world to sign on to “climate equity” or “climate justice,” individuals in countries that have historically been industrialized (those in the U.S. and Italy, for example) will have their carbon quotas reduced to compensate when something like this happens. Now, if critical social…[Read more] -

All food for thought… Then you have to factor in that the controllers are probably psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, and eugenicists. It’s a tough one to try to figure out. -

My thought is, in this time when every effort is being made to keep people apart, do whatever you can to interact, in person whenever possible, with people who are at least partially like-minded. At least like-minded on the idiocy of the CV1984 measures. This can have a practical as well as a psychological (and maybe, to some extent,…[Read more]-
I’m so glad you had that “liberating” experience in your state! Yay!
I had a similar one a few days ago. I took a drive up into the mountains and found a pub/eatery that did not have any sign about masks. I went in and nobody was wearing masks. You could sit inside and eat without social distancing. I chatted with a few folks – I was so…

Not only did the banksters survive, but as Dr. Farrell has described so well, the Nazis did too. The fascist ethos is definitely alive and well all over the “free” world. -

The biggest mystery to me is the control gang’s mad rush. They seem to be in such a hurry that they’re making lots of mistakes.-
when I try to speculate on the why, ecology models pop up in my mind. climate change seems to be a proxy representing consumption and exploitation, climate change as a predicted negative consequence itself is too vague and imprecise. biodiversity is down and toxicity is up in the food supply for all creatures and habitat is shrinking,…

Thanks for posting! I hadn’t seen this article. -

Absolutely priceless! And how true… Nearly everything the older lady describes, I remember from childhood. -

Dr. Farrell and CAF have talked about a future cryptocurrency not being a real currency, for various reasons. I agree, and here’s another reason that never occurred to me: it might come with an expiration date. That would make accumulation of capital in the form of money impossible. Very clever, Mr.…[Read more]

This part could be important IF it’s followed in future cases: “The question here is whether ‘appropriate relief’ includes claims for money damages against Government officials in their individual capacities. We hold that it does.” (emphasis added) But I wouldn’t bet on the integrity of American institutions at this point. -

This article is an interesting take on the Chinese Cultural Revolution. I’m certainly not the first to feel that something akin to the Cultural Revolution is brewing in the U.S. and the West in general. Just as it behooves those of us who are anti-woke to understand the basics of woke philosophy, it may be useful to study the Cultural…[Read more] -

I hope and pray TX and FL will avoid a similar fate. Heaven knows people are moving to both states from various directions. -

You’ve brought up quite a lot of ideas, and I’m not even qualified to address some of them… I agree that the atheist studying theology is the epitome of learning. Or perhaps the atheist studying theology and agnosticism. Certainly, any atheist who wanted to counter theological arguments would need to study theology, which illustrates the…[Read more] -

This post reminds me of something I’ve often thought when it comes to owning–and eventually retaking–the culture. I only know about the work and philosophy of the writers you cite from secondary sources (the excellent summaries of their ideas, as they apply to the “woke” movement, by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose). I don’t doubt some…[Read more]-
“Cynical Theories” is a good crash course into the history of Criticism. I truly appreciate both Lindsay and Pluckrose. Sometimes I think James inadvertently discredits himself with his own cynicisms on the topic as he doesn’t get challenged all that often.
Anyhow, I’m reminded of an academic student I know who is an atheist studyin…

I think people should respect others’ right to decide for themselves how to live their lives, whether you agree with their decision or not. And society needs to respect individuals’ right to decide for themselves what level of risk they’re willing to accept from any potential hazard — whether it’s tobacco, a virus, or a vaccine.-
Sorry for your loss Dr Fleishman and can relate. I lost both my mother and uncle to Lung Cancer so far. Also good advice as I fear as a child I had a lot of second hand smoke as my mother smoked during pregnancy for which I was then born premature with all kinds of trouble….had to stay in the hospital for weeks but finally made it. She…

The more people with a big audience who speak out against the mask insanity, the better!-
Hello FiatLux good evening and happy Sunday to you,
People like Mr. Bryce Mitchell need a hug and an face to face eye to eye sincere ‘thank you sir, thank you’
They risk so much by standing up and speaking the truth. I do not know if the excerpt I posted earlier shows the reaction of everyone in attendance when he finishes but hardly any…

You are so right, taxation is debilitating here in the EU.
