“Communism is what happens when Socialists realize that they want complete control over every aspect of human life.”
~ A.E. Samaan
Let us forget about any alleged “Constitutional Republic,” or any democracy, Fascist, Socialist, or any other evident political leanings in the U.S., and just concentrate on reality. The United States today is based more on a Communist society than any other single political system or ideology; so much so as to now follow almost to the letter, the entirety of the ten planks of Communism.

On Saturday, protests supporting Julian Assange occurred around the world. In London, Assange supporters linked arms around the parliament building. Protests occurred outside the Justice Department headquarters in Washington , D.C., and in San Francisco, Tulsa, Denver, and Seattle, as well as in Australia.
Four years ago, I wrote a USA Today column calling for Assange to receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom. My piece failed to sway the Trump White House and the Biden administration has taken up the prosecution of one of the most important truth tellers of this century. Assange has been locked away for years in a maximum-security prison in Britain. He is facing extradition to face 17 counts of violating the Espionage Act for disclosing classified information. If the Brits deliver Assange to the U.S. government, he has almost no chance for a fair trial because of how prosecutions are rigged in federal court.

Yesterday, I watched a fascinating documentary about the history of tanks. It goes beyond the scope of this article to outline the history of the tank in detail. It is such a comprehensive voyage of discovery, it is impossible to cover in one article.
I did not know that they were originally to be called landships, because they were modeled on the early warships used by navies around the world. But allies felt that the name would give an a hostile WWI Germany a hint of what was being planned, the name tank was coined. Because it looked somewhat like an old water tank.

With news that Israeli intelligence has detected an “irregular presence” of nuclear-capable Russian bombers near Finland and retired general David Petraeus casually saying NATO would likely sink Vladimir Putin’s Black Sea fleet if Russia used a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine, it’s perhaps time for a few questions:
First, can we discuss a situation that could very well result in thermonuclear war — and the end of life as we know it — intelligently and rationally? Or must all questions about our Dr. Strangelove policy be met with childish name-calling (e.g., “stooge of Putin!”) designed to silence debate?

The whole world is becoming fake. We have become a plastic world in a world that hates plastic and increasingly encouraged to believe what is fake and discard the one thing that we should hold dear: TRUTH.
It is hard to even define Truth these days. In the olden days, before people got woke and started to regress into a childish state of wavering between tantrums and beliefs in Greta fairies, Truth was something that relied on Facts.
Facts, back in the days before people got “ woke “ were based on reality.

I remember a time when fairytales were fairytales. Times when children enjoyed childhood and a story well read at bedtime by a loving parent.
I remember when stories told to children were to soothe their little minds and create amusement and happiness as they closed their eyes and dreamt of magical creatures in far-off lands.
I remember when children were sheltered from adulthood and encouraged to be happy, safe, content, and sure in the knowledge that fairy tales were fairy tales, not stories read by hairy fairies.

What we are seeing these days with hurricane “Ian” ravaging the Caribbean, the Florida coasts and inland, then all the way up to South Carolina – causing massive destruction of infrastructure, cropland, death of animals and people, as well as cancellations of all flights from NYC to Florida, this is a state of war.
It is also called geoengineering.
In the last couple of years it has become common place.

Common sense is the ability to use logical judgment. It is was most reasonable people would do in any situation.
The wonderful thing about it is that it does not require anything other than normal everyday practical knowledge that we pick up as we grow and experience the day-to-day thing called life.
It used to be abundant. Until things like " Racism ", "wokeism " , " climate change " and political correctness poisoned it and choked the very life out of it.

" The white Western Culture is vastly superior to the other rabble cultures of the world. No wonder those human debris peoples hate the white people so much. "
I read this some time ago and realized that it is more than about time that the White Caucasian peoples of the world stopped their cringing at every brickbat that is thrown at them by the coloured races from Africa and the Middle East.

The opening lecture that I deliver every time I teach a Principles of Microeconomics course, which I do each semester, is on what the economic historian and liberal philosopher Deirdre McCloskey calls “the Great Enrichment.” I impress upon my students (most of whom are in their late teens) that they and everyone they know are off-the-charts materially wealthier than were the vast majority of all humans who ever lived. I explain that millennia after millennia, our human ancestors breathed, toiled, and perished in poverty so grinding that we today can barely imagine it.
