Writes Ginny Garner:

Lew,

During the last two years of his life, Charlie Kirk was evolving to an antiwar position due to the views of his millions of young followers and his own research. The TPUSA audience’s reaction to Tucker Carlson’s responses to their questions show Charlie’s supporters continue to be opposed to war. The first two questions were about foreign policy and Tucker expressed his opposition to pointless wars. These questions begin at 59:00.

Lew,

I figure Steve Bannon has known for a very long time but he finally publicly said the Mossad runs the CIA. It’s at 6:20 in this video. He commends ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard for her courage standing up to them when they tried to run her out of town. CIA (Mossad) has been lying to Trump peace negotiator Steve Witkoff three times a day in briefings attempting to sabotage any possibility of peace.

Based upon the fact that most elected members of Congress are corrupt, I must conclude that these officials have chosen Communism which will lead to Civil War. Many citizens are still ignorant and apathetic as a result of brainwashing and  propaganda. However, I believe that a majority of our citizens still want the Middle-class American Dream,  with Justice and Prosperity in a Constitutional Republic. This paper will spell out comprehensively what must be done to preclude a Civil War.

1. Terminate all Foreign Aid and foreign Military Deployments. All of these expenses directly benefit the Evil Ones in the Deep state. We have no justified Interest in any country except our own. We cannot be invaded, we can only bedefeated by weapons of mass destruction or from within. This is why we have no reason to be in NATO.

2. Terminate the Privately-Owned Federal Reserve Bank, which will stop money printing to finance Wars-for-Profit and a multitude of scams. Replace Fiat Currency with Gold and Silver money, which will pretty much end inflation.

3. Stop all federal payments to states for functions unconstitutionally usurped from the states or for functions not authorized by specific Enumerated Powers in the Constitution. Either terminate the income tax or return most of the collections from a state to that state. The Income Tax reversed the roles of the states and federal government, making a Constitutional Republic impossible without these modifications..

4. Deport all illegal Invaders as fast as possible prior to the 2030 census. The Constitution states that giving aid and comfort to invaders is Treason. Communist Invaders have already commenced with attacks on citizens and police. The Draft may be required, as our military is too small to confront an deport invaders. If rioters resist using measures that could injure police, then deadly force should be used. So far use of deadly force has been too little and too late.

5. Writ of Habeas Corpus can be terminated in this situation of rebellion, invasion or threat to public safety. Lincoln did this during the Civil War.

6. There must be effective law enforcement to force elected officials and bureaucrats of the Administrative State to conduct their duties in a lawful manner. This is especially important since most officials have been bribed to support Communism and the Evil Ones in the Deep State.

7. It is well known that thousands of unconstitutional functions are performed by bureaucrats of the Administrative State. I call this the Criminal Enterprise, which maybe comprises 50% of Government. If I was to attempt to list them, no one would read this paper.

8. The American People have no faith or trust in the FBI or the National Security Agencies. I think the FBI should be disbanded and the security agencies be allowed only to gather information.

9. Many people believe, with good reason, that the election of President Trump saved us from a Civil War and bought us some time for Trump’s programs to blossom and save us from total Economic Collapse.

As an Economist, I can pretty much guarantee Unlimited Prosperity at an unheard-of level with the American Dream in full blossom for everyone willing to work, if the recommendations in this paper are followed. However if key elements are not followed,  I can foresee a Civil War with the Communists and  the Evil Ones in the Deep State aka Parasitic  Super-Rich Ruling Class aka Wealthy Families  aka the Zionist Jewish Lobby, etc., and their Minions in government.

The post This Is a Few Words About How To Return to the American Dream and Our Constitutional Republic appeared first on LewRockwell.

Rulers seek to rule. Well, that seems a bit obvious, doesn’t it? And yet, time after time, we elect new leaders, imagining that, “This new group will be better—they’ll represent us as they promised.”

Unfortunately, the democratic system doesn’t really work very well at all. The idea is supposed to be that if old leaders overstep their bounds, new candidates may come forth who promise a reversal of the autocracy of the previous group, and we elect them. They will then proceed to implement that reversal.

Of course, we all know that it’s this last bit that consistently fails to happen. The new group does not fulfil its promises to the electorate—in fact, it almost invariably seeks to increase its power over them. And as each group assumes greater power than the previous one, the country slowly declines, until ultimately, it reaches the state of tyranny.

But what is at the heart of this process? Why on earth does it never seem to happen that the new leaders actually diminish their power and become true representatives of those who elected them? Surely, we must get a few good leaders once in a while.

To answer this question, let’s have another look at that title, at the top of the page…

Rulers seek to rule. Ruling is not a side issue; it is not a by-product. It is their very purpose. It is the reason they ran for elected office.

But then, why do better, less-obsessed people not run? Well, they occasionally do, mostly at the lower levels of public office, where they soon find that politics is a nasty business and that their fellow office-holders detest them for their integrity. In effect, they find themselves isolated, much like New York policeman Frank Serpico—a lamb amongst vipers. In such an environment, it’s unlikely that a “good guy” will last long.

There arises the occasional Ron Paul, a beacon in the night, but the Ron Pauls are rare and even more rarely attain high office. Instead, those who are most likely to pursue public office and most likely to remain there are those that most desire to rule.

So, if we follow this reasoning along, who within a given society does most want to rule? Well, clearly, those who are the most obsessive in their desire to control others. Even more so if they possess this desire to a pathological degree.

In a small jurisdiction, this is less pronounced, because there are fewer people to run for office. The larger the country, the greater the likelihood that those who are pathological will not only come forward, but will do whatever it takes to succeed. Their odds of initial and continued success are therefore far greater than those of the “good” candidates.

If the above reasoning is correct, we’d find our legislatures full of pathological people.

In a large country, all candidates, in all parties, might well answer this description, resulting in a virtual guarantee that the top spots would be filled by those who are pathological. (Estimates hold that approximately 6.2% of any population are likely to be narcissistic. Sociopaths are at 4%.)

So, let’s test this out. Let’s look at a list of character traits of each of these psychopathies and ask ourselves if the descriptions fit any (or all) of our rulers.

Narcisism

• Grandiose sense of self-importance

• Preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success and power

• Requires excessive admiration

• Has a pronounced sense of entitlement

• Is exploitative of others

• Lacks empathy

• Demonstrates arrogant, haughty behaviour

Sociopathy

• Superficial charm and good intelligence

• Unreliability

• Untruthfulness and insincerity

• Lack of remorse and shame

• Poor judgment and failure to learn by experience

• Pathologic egocentricity and incapacity for love

In examining the traits above and comparing them to the traits we observe in our political leaders, we no longer wonder why our leaders are not more truthful, more reliable, more representative, less arrogant, etc. In fact, in any given situation, we can expect overreach from leaders in each of the following categories:

• An assumed right to power (over both the electorate and other sovereign states)

• Extreme lack of concern for truth or integrity (Reality becomes whatever the leader has most recently decided it is)

• Lack of true concern for the electorate on any level (although “concern” may very well be pretended)

• Inconsistency and unreliability in actions and policymaking

• Fascination with opportunities for armed conflict (both domestic and international)

• Carelessness in the sacrifice of the lives of others in combat situations (Armed conflict is an interesting game, rather than an unfortunate necessity)

Whatever nation the reader is from, he might reread the above description, whilst picturing each of the last several leaders his country has had, and ask himself if these traits apply. (Again, the larger the country, the more likely that all the boxes are ticked, with regard to every leader, regardless of political party.) In addition, if the reader decides to extend the exercise to those on the second and third tiers of power (deputy prime minister, vice president, chancellor of the exchequer, secretary of state, etc., depending upon the jurisdiction), my guess would be that these individuals would also fit the bill fairly well.

Right, then. We were already a bit glum about those who ostensibly were elected to “represent our interests”. Now, it appears not only that they are a bad lot, but that there’s little hope for improvement, short of exhuming Guy Fawkes and cloning him in large numbers.

So what can we glean from this exercise?

We can surmise that, whether a sovereign state was founded as a free republic (e.g., Ancient Rome or the United States), or whether it was founded right from the outset as an oppressive state (e.g., France or the Soviet Union after their respective revolutions in 1799 and 1917), it is certain that pathological individuals will be those who will most desperately seek office. This then means that, over time, the new state will invariably progress toward tyranny, until such time as the system is ended and started anew.

What this means is that the reader might wish to assess the point that his home country has reached in its decline and consider whether it has reached the point of diminishing returns as regards his own personal freedom to live his life as he sees fit.

The good news is that, at any point in history, countries exist that are at different stages of decline, and the reader has choices as to where he might reside, work, and invest, if he wishes to pursue them.

In America, every voice counts — to a degree. Those more active in the political process count more. Simply being a precinct captain in your local party gives you leverage that the average voter does not have. There are other ways to magnify one’s leverage.

One way is to be a donor. It’s costly to run for office — $5 million to win some congressional districts.

Some Areas Of Distraction For President Trump

Ten months into this Trump term:

-the Epstein files are AWOL,
-anti-AIPAC Massie is being primaried,
-many deep state American criminals are walking free, including those who ran a coup on this country in the 2020 color revolution,
-patriots, innocents, and heroes still sit in jail,
-the Executive Branch is moving fast for government, but at a snail’s pace for many Americans.

While these are matters our President can fix with the right perspective and will, our President, instead of ensuring pardons for our heroes, is flying into Ben Gurion Airport, addressing the Knesset, and asking for the pardon of Benjamin Netanyahu.

This doesn’t feel like America First. This feels like the fastest moving and most transparent presidency that has ever existed, but it also feels misguided.

Was he lying the whole time?

Was he a decepticon?

Maybe.

But you know what, he also needed a lot of money to get elected.

So, What’s Your Point?

I, too, can write a spicy ideological take down of how flawed Trump is and how correct your stated values are.

I’m not doing that.

I’m writing about what is happening right now, and how you, personally, can have impact.

Why President Trump Is Predictably Distracted

Trump has repeatedly called Israel-first billionaire Sheldon Adelson generous, tough, and demanding — most recently during his October 13, 2025, visit to Jerusalem.

The Knesset, the unicameral Israeli parliament building, was built with a gift from James de Rothschild (1878-1957) of the Ashkenazi banking family. The building is located on Rothschild Street. As the US President stood before that assembly, he paid honor to Miriam Adelson and the late Sheldon Adelson, who have supported his campaigns.

Mrs. Adelson was an honored guest as Trump announced peace in Gaza through a large multinational agreement, along with a rebuilding effort.

While October 13, 2025 is not two years after October 7, 2023 in the Gregorian calendar, in the Hebrew calendar it is exactly two years. Trump specifically came on the 21st and 22nd day of Tishri 5786. He left as the holiday Simchat Torah was beginning, the two-year anniversary of the attack, which began on the 22nd day of Tishri 5784, around sunrise on October 7, 2023.

Some say Trump came to declare victory in the ethnic cleansing campaign, and to dance on the ashes, as he began to paint the public picture of Gaza as an international real estate development not populated by locals.

Some 67,000 Palestinians died in Gaza from Israeli bullets, bombs, and fire these two years. Depending on how quickly and plentifully aid enters Gaza, multiples more will likely die because of limited food, sanitation, housing, and medical infrastructure. This situation looks very distracted and very Israel-first.

I don’t care for Israel-first influence in US politics. I despise it. I am as America First as Ron Paul taught me to be long ago. Donald Trump took up that mantle, and has done a relatively good job putting America first — though I recognize the man has flaws.

I also understand that the piper plays the tune of the one who pays him, and Trump didn’t finance his own campaign.

Zionist money did. I am grateful to not have another Bushite presidency. Bush was right 3 out of 10 times. Trump is right 8 out of 10 times.

Why I Am Grateful To The Zionist Supporters Of President Trump

Trump deserves criticism. A lot. But you probably do too.

It’s easy to criticize another. It’s harder to partner with a person to build the future.

The Zionists, for all their flaws, do that. I am grateful to not have a Kamala Harris presidency. If I run into Miriam Adelson, I will thank her for that. I will also, likely, share a few other opinions. But first I will thank her for helping return Trump to the White House.

I know many well-resourced people who did not stand up for America the way Adelson did. Of course Adelson was likely more interested in what Trump would do for Israel, than what Trump would do for America. That does not change the fact that she helped give me 10 months of a president who gets it right 8 out of 10 times.

Yet, The Cheapskates And Do-Nothings Now Feel Entitled To Comment Without Shame Or Blame

In contrast to Adelson, at this late hour, a year after an election, many well-resourced cheapskates speak up. Did those of you capable, support Trump heartily last summer? No. Well, then you are part of the problem that created a vacuum for the Zionist donors, aren’t you?

Did those of you with the wherewithal to start a PAC for Trump (basically any literate American over 16), start a PAC for Trump?  No. Well, then you are part of the problem that created a vacuum for the Zionist donors, aren’t you?

Did you knock on doors Scott Pressler-style? Did you become a precinct captain? Did you have conversations with your 40 closest acquaintances? Did you do anything other than vote? Because that’s not enough.

I mean, there is only so far that finger pointing can get you.

And there is only so far that air support from the White House can get America. Trump cannot do everything from the Oval Office. He can’t change 80-plus years of failed policies and lazy freedom culture. He can’t change 80-plus years of Americans being nonchalant toward freedom.

I hate how incapable of cooperation many on the political right are. I love the individualism. I love the freedom. I hate the willingness to burn friends who are not perfect. I hate the selfishness when it comes to collaboration.

Your political rival is, in contrast, lockstep unified. American businessman Robert Welch (1899-1985), when he started the John Birch Society, made clear the dedication that communists have to their cause — that they tithe both fortune and time to that cause.

It’s an aberration to see the same from someone on the political right — especially their fortune.

How many times I have met conservatives and libertarians who won’t spend a penny without great hesitation — from the offering plate to charities, from pretty good candidates to pretty good companies. Many America First people will sooner buy slop from Costco than to spend $3 more buying eggs, butter, meat or other staples from a quality farmer.

I mean, it’s hard to take some vocal freedom lovers seriously.

No, it’s hard to take many vocal freedom lovers seriously.

So, I am happy for the Zionists on the political right. They are funding campaigns that bring some benefit to the American people, and to me personally.

If we can ever force AIPAC and their bedfellows to register as foreign agents, I suspect we will notice that wealthy Zionists priced many Americans out of the political process in both parties, and created $5 million congressional races. To force AIPAC to register is going to take a lot more rising to the occasion.

As I write this, many lukewarm Trump supporters write him off, while many Zionists are busy getting friends into his administration, and writing checks for the midterms next year.

They don’t feel bad about your lukewarmness for Trump or for the process. Your lack of resolve makes it easier for them to be more dominant.

What Happens Next?

Let me save you the suspense. Given the trajectory of the grassroots, Zionists and establishment Republicans will have increasing influence over this term, since so many in the grassroots are acting like born losers, while so many Zionists are playing an effective strategy in a predictable game.

I have no appetite for those who bail one year post-election because they aren’t getting what they wanted. Open your eyes and realize freedom isn’t free. You are going to have to work for it, especially after 80-plus years of neglect.

Some Fighters I Admire

Do you know who I admire? Steve Bannon. He found partners, started a successful podcast, became a voice of a movement, was put on trial, let off, put on trial again, thrown in prison, and is still going strong.

Is he perfect? Doesn’t matter.

Do you know who I admire? Robert Kennedy. He lost in 2024, lost again in 2024, swallowed his pride, joined the Trump team when it was in its darkest hours, is pilloried in the media daily, loses 8 out of 10 battles in a department that, on paper, he controls, and keeps pushing forward with small victories.

Is he perfect? Doesn’t matter.

Do you know who I admire? Jesse Benton. He helped advance liberty through Ron Paul’s campaign, helped advance liberty through Rand Paul’s campaign, helped advance liberty even through Mitch McConnell’s campaign. For years, he has been hounded by federal prosecutors for things no Democrat, even in the reddest of states, would see jail time for.

Is he perfect? Doesn’t matter.

Do you know who I admire? Steve Stockman, a man who was an activist troublemaker in and out of Congress before becoming the Jack Smith lawfare test case for what they did to Donald Trump. Still a warrior.

Is he perfect? Doesn’t matter.

Do you know who I admire? Thomas Massie, a man who acts out of conviction to represent his district. He is arguably the most impactful member of the House, including the Speaker. Absent some significant change in the Speaker’s demeanor, no one will remember the Speaker in 20 years, but Thomas Massie will still be remembered in 200 years. Each American can be a Massie, a virtually meaningless 1 out of 435 who leverages his position bigly, or every American can be the Speaker of the House, whatever his name is, a virtually faceless person who holds one of the most important offices in the country, yet lives his days as a valueless cog in someone else’s machine. Those are our two dramatic choices in life.

Is he perfect? Doesn’t matter.

I am a Christian. That means I have high moral standards for myself and when I screw up (which I do), I repent and accept my Savior’s forgiveness. I have high moral standards for others, and I also know that people aren’t perfect. I have appreciation for idealists who believe in freedom and stay in the arena.

At the same time, I know when people around me are hardly trying, and because of that, they are losing the greatest opportunity they have to revive freedom. Kudos to those likeminded people, those who truly believe in freedom and are truly America First.

Robert Welch said decades ago that communists tithe money and time to their cause. Those people are now deep within American institutions. Communists still tithe time and money, outside of work, to their cause. The institutions, however, now support their full-time work toward their cause. They are in every institution around you from police to church, from street sweeper to health official, from hospital to the real estate, and they are promoting their communist worldview.

In response to that reality, do you really think you are going to win back your country by folding on a pretty good president after 10 months and never having given so much it hurts to that fight, let alone waking up every day and giving so much it hurts EVERY SINGLE DAY to that fight.

I give so much that it hurts, and I do it every single day.

You can do the same. We can win this. We don’t have to lose this. Don’t fall for the enticing story of the doomers, the do-nothings, and the cheapskates who proclaim freedom in empty words and who do little of consequence.

Dear cheapskate who is complaining a year after the election — you are part of the problem. Please amend your behavior. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

The post A Year After the Election Is Too Late for the Cheapskates To Complain appeared first on LewRockwell.

The Russophobic Euro elites are trying to railroad the continent to war.

The 27-nation European Union this week unveiled a five-year plan “to get ready for war” with Russia.

The so-called “Roadmap on European Defense Readiness 2030” sounds like a war manifesto and a self-fulfilling prophecy, putting the EU on a disastrous collision course with Russia.

It is incredible that such an ominous direction is being blatantly dictated by an unaccountable elite in Brussels. Eighty-five years ago, the Third Reich had a plan to rule over Europe by dominating the Soviet Union. The EU elite are carrying on the plan.

As for the “defense readiness” (that is, “war readiness”) roadmap, the future is already here, not in five years. The EU is presently on a disastrous collision course with Russia.

Like the United States, the European Union has been at war with Russia through its proxy regime in Ukraine since February 2022, and before that, going back to the 2014 coup in Kiev.

Over the past four years, the EU has supplied nearly €180 billion of taxpayer money to weaponize a NeoNazi regime in Kiev. As we noted in last week’s editorial, that vast allocation (and waste) of resources is far greater than the EU’s own member nations have received for developing their economies and societies. When has the European public had a chance to vote on that? Decisions are being made by an elite cabal.

Unlike the Trump administration, the European Union under the influence of arch-Russophobes like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas, has shown absolutely no will for finding a diplomatic resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. With honorable exceptions, most of the European governments are pushing the war hysteria. So, too, are the European media, as are the American mainstream media. Russia is the evil aggressor, no diplomacy, no dialogue with Moscow, no surrender, and so on. It’s war-on-autopilot.

The European bloc, at least at the official level, is completely dominated by NATO and intelligence agencies’ propaganda portraying Russia as the enemy. The CIA and Britain’s MI6 are no doubt pulling the strings and Europe is dancing like a pathetic puppet.

President Donald Trump held a two-hour phone call with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Thursday during which the two leaders agreed to meet in Budapest in the next two weeks. The meeting is a follow-up to their summit in Anchorage on August 15, to try to end the hostilities in Ukraine.

The EU leadership is implacably opposed to any such diplomacy. They were disconcerted by the meeting in Alaska because Trump treated Putin with respectful diplomacy. The latest news about a summit in Budapest is also peeving EU leaders. They are clamoring for Trump to deliver Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, which they will pay for. This is aimed at ensuring that diplomacy gets blown up.

Since the Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014, the European Union has undergone a retrograde transformation to become a militarized bloc defined by obsessive hostility towards Russia. The EU is increasingly a clone of the NATO military alliance. Historically, the European Union stood for peace through neighborly trade and commerce. It was intended to have evolved from the ashes of the Second World War, ensuring that war would never happen again on the continent. In 2012, the bloc was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Not that that award means much, but it serves to illustrate the absurdity.

Over recent months, the EU has become fixated on a feverish war mentality. The economies of the 27 nations are increasingly marshaled by military production and spending. The whole purpose of the bloc is being defined as an existential confrontation with Russia. It seems significant that Von der Leyen and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz have Nazi skeletons in their family wardrobes. The Baltic states, too, which have emerged as belligerent influences on EU policy, have nefarious links to the Nazi past.

The war mentality reached fever pitch in Von der Leyen’s State of the Union address on September 10. She opened by declaring that “Europe is in a fight” with Russia. She said it was a fight for “freedom and independence,” and she united the cause of the EU with Ukraine against Russia.

“Europe must fight… because Ukraine’s freedom is Europe’s freedom,” she claimed.

Von der Leyen, the former German military minister, and the European Union’s most senior official, who is unelected, was declaring that the bloc was at war. Now, not in five years.

In recent months with intensifying emphasis, the EU’s intelligence agencies (CIA, MI6 clones) have been warning of war with Russia as imminent, and there has been a suspicious surge in drone incursions in Poland, Estonia, Romania and Denmark, which have been blamed on Russia without any evidence.

All the while, European leaders and NATO chief Mark Rutte (a former Dutch prime minister, and an abject clone if ever there was one) have been calling for massive increases in military spending to “counter the Russia threat”. In March, Von der Leyen floated the figure at €800 billion for the bloc to spend on “defense”.

In 2014, the combined EU military spend was less than €200 billion. It now stands at €340 billion. That is an increase by 70 percent over a decade.

The roadmap unveiled this week sure enough delivers on Von der Leyen’s earlier astronomical figure. It is planning a total EU spend on military of €800 billion – more than double the current level and four times the level the EU spent 10 years ago.

This is insane and unsustainable. If it doesn’t escalate into an all-out war in Europe, the least damaging effect of such wanton militarism will destroy European nations from economic and political collapse.

It is clear that major decisions have been made behind closed doors to take the EU in a direction towards increased militarism where the civilian economies are transformed into war economies. That’s great news for military corporations and politicians who are sponsored (bribed) by lobbyists. European citizens are the losers and they are not being consulted about their fate. Their societies are being drained of vital resources, which are being sucked up by militarism and corporate investors.

To pull off this grand theft and deception, the EU relies on unelected bureaucrats like Von der Leyen, Kallas and Rutte to whip up Russophobia and “war fears”. The mainstream media plays its part by peddling intelligence propaganda to manufacture public acquiescence.

However, there is pushback to the craziness. The rise of populist (that is, more representative and democratic) parties is demonstrating contempt for the undemocratic EU ruling class. The protests in France throwing the government into chaos are motivated by disgust at the economic cutbacks for public services and workers’ rights while Paris throws billions of euros propping up the proxy war in Ukraine.

To their credit, governments in Hungary and Slovakia are speaking out against the warmongering of the EU towards Russia. Viktor Orbán and Robert Fico have criticized the militarization of Europe and are consistently calling for diplomacy with Moscow.

It is significant that Trump chose to meet Putin in the Hungarian capital for their next meeting, chaired by Orbán who described the event as “great news for people who want peace”.

The European-NATO leadership is displeased by the Budapest venue because it suggests following a diplomatic option instead of a policy of war-on-autopilot.

The Russophobic Euro elites are trying to railroad the continent to war. They can see no other way of doing international relations. They have committed the EU to war and dictatorial war spending that is criminal. They, therefore, cannot allow peace and diplomacy to succeed because that would be an admission of their criminal warmongering.

But their way is leading to the abyss.

The post Five Years Until War With Russia? The EU Is Already at War appeared first on LewRockwell.

I spend too much time watching videos of perpetually angry Black people attacking and assaulting White people. Always easy targets. Usually in gangs. Often starting with a cowardly sucker punch. But you can’t ignore them. They’re everywhere. Earlier this year, the shocking frequency of them triggered what was dubbed Black Fatigue.

Now, I wrote about what I called African American Fatigue Syndrome a few years back. I’m not bitter over the simpler Black Fatigue catching on. We’re talking about the same thing after all. Bluntly stated, those of us who aren’t “African-American” are saddled with a minority group that we cannot help but interact with at times. This group, although only about 12 percent of the population, is a very loud demographic, and their concerns and alleged mistreatment at the hands of the other 88 percent of the people is drummed into our heads continuously by what Donald Trump has christened the Fake News. The rest of us are supposed to be unduly interested in the welfare of these “African-Americans,” even to the extent of prioritizing them over our own families. What, after all, is more important than a young Black man in the “hood?” Stop whining about living paycheck to paycheck, or the fact you aren’t paid enough to save any money. You should be concerned instead about “Reparations.”

Sure, you might have experienced a medical emergency and find it impossible to pay the bill that comes courtesy of our thoroughly evil Medical Industrial Complex. It might have impacted your “quality of life,” to use a favorite term of that same Complex. But what about all those Black children with indecipherable names, who are forced to graduate from high school without ever learning to read? Who can’t perform basic math problems? Of course, we all know that grammar and math are “racist,” but why aren’t you worried about how they can all become “influencers,” rappers, and other kinds of laughable celebrities? As Humphrey Bogart once said, your problems don’t amount to a hill of beans. Not to some resident of a real, genuine “hood.” Where the nights are full of high excitement. Will there be an actual drive-by shooting here? Will some “gangstas” kill other “gangstas” who “disrespected” them? Don’t tell me about your Parkinson’s Disease. Have you ever been really and truly “disrespected?”

The AI photo above reflects a tragic reality; Black males have long been prone to raping White females. Forget To Kill a Mockingbird. Look at the official crime statistics. While Black on White rape is all too common, Whites raping Blacks is so statistically negligible as to be considered nonexistent. Yet, Hollywood always depicts things that way, doesn’t it? Eldridge Cleaver bragged about all the White women he raped in his allegedly best-selling memoir, Soul on Ice. How could a major publisher not publish it? I don’t have to tell you that there are very few former altar boys controlling the major publishers. White women especially ate that stuff up. Accounts of White women being raped. Somehow, that’s cool, as long as the rapists were a particular magical color. Ask the German “activist” who apologized to the migrants who raped her. Or the German girl who was given a longer prison sentence than the migrant rapists for “insulting” them. You’ve come a long way from Hitler, baby.

As I’ve said before, I am fatigued beyond measure by the ghetto mentality. Ghetto issues. Ghetto “fashion.” Ghetto “music.” I have zero tolerance for hearing any more Black people yelling. About anything. Being called “racist” doesn’t bother me in the least. It’s a label that has lost whatever meaning it might have ever had. I think Trotsky invented the term, didn’t he? You know, the former Lev Bronstein from New York. Who became a leading figure in the “Russian” revolution. Wound up with an icepick in the head, Lev did. Now, that’s ghetto. That’s “keeping it real.” I think Lev might have invented the term “anti-Semitism” too. “Anti-Semitism” and “racism” go together. Like a horse and carriage, in the words of the old song. Those words were written by yet another non-Irishman, Sammy Cahn. Old Lev would have been proud. Which brings us to the more important part of the equation. Just who ensures that there is always an endless array of Black complaints? Who promotes this?

I’m sure anyone reading this knows the answer to that. It wasn’t a group of Mormons. Or lesbian Presbyterians. Or one-legged Eskimos. Or transgender Unitarians. If any other group held the kind of power that those who are whole or partially Jewish do, the sleeping Sheeple would at least be aware of it. Because our lapdog press would at least acknowledge it. The lame investigatory process, such as it exists in America 2.0, is controlled by this magical Two Percent of the population. From the FBI to the New York Times, Jewish concerns are front and center. Since the primary concern of powerful American Jews is unquestioned taxpayer support to the parasitic state of Israel, their concerns are most often expressed as Black concerns. It is they who have pushed and promoted Blacks to the exclusion of all others, since the days when some hoaxer with incredible foresight produced the Protocols of Zion. Even got Henry Ford on board. Poor Henry, invented the car and gets labeled a despicable “anti-Semite.”

This marriage of Black and Jew is so prevalent that you have turn off your critical thinking skills not to see it. Who promoted all those Black big band leaders, and then the early rock and rollers? They weren’t Christmas Celebrators, to use comedian Leonarda Joni’s phrase. Of course, there were many Black performers with talent, but that many? Who guided the careers of Black big band leaders like Duke Ellington, and early rock and roll artists like Little Richard and Chuck Berry? After all, weren’t they all being viciously discriminated against in those days? Well, to be fair, those “guiding” their careers did invariably cheat and rob them of their earnings. What were all those White audience members doing, cheering on people who couldn’t stay in the same hotel with? Who wrote all those Brill Building songs of the early 1960s? Carole King? Cynthia Weil? Gerry Goffin? Neil Sedaka? No Irish in that bunch. And they wrote most of those songs for Black artists to perform.

Who produced the slew of Black television comedies in the 1970s? I think Norman Lear is still alive. Ask him if he goes to a synagogue or a church. Why did Lear, and so many other prominent Jews, have such a strong desire to promote Black comedians, Black musicians, and more recently Black politicians? Why didn’t they just promote members of their own tribe as rock and roll stars, etc? Sure, there was half-Jewish Gary Lewis. And David Lee Roth. Dee Snyder. The Beastie Boys. K.I.S.S. Going back to the early days of Hollywood, Jewish performers still were disproportionately represented onscreen, as they absolutely dominated things behind the scenes. Think of all the poor White gentiles, standing there with Fender Stratocaster in hand, waiting for somebody’s nephew named Seymour to “discover” them. Call it “hate.” Call it “anti-Semitism.” It’s undeniable who runs our culture. And that culture, on the surface, has the visage and “style” of ghetto Black people.

Considering how many videos are produced, on a daily basis, of Black people behaving badly, a sane society’s response should be to expose and try to correct this behavior. It’s irrational behavior. It’s uncivilized behavior. And it’s behavior that we don’t see any other group engaging in. Yet this same behavior is perfectly normal for untold numbers of this one particular minority group. Unbelievably conceited and arrogant “self-esteem,” nurtured from childhood by the non-Irish overlords of our culture. Senseless and unearned pride from non-accomplishments. Hyper sensitivity over any perceived slight, colloquially framed as “dissing.” You don’t “dis” a Black person. In spite of their inflated self-worth, they can be deflated by the simplest critique. Well, more often driven to violence by criticism. Or even someone looking at them. Kind of like how Hillary Clinton and other elitists don’t want the commoners to gaze upon them. As with dangerous animals, it’s best not to attract their attention.

The post Black Fatigue in a Zionist World appeared first on LewRockwell.

“Divide and rule” tactics are as old as human conflict.  Instead of building consensus among the members of a tribe or nation, rulers exacerbate grievances that exist between social groups.  By doing so effectively, a military or political leader with only minority support can maintain control over a much larger group of people who refuse to work together.

Julius Caesar used this strategy to conquer Gaul.  The Ottoman Empire ruled over a great number of tribes using the same technique.  The British Empire controlled the Indian subcontinent in much the same way.  Turning potential enemies against one another enables an otherwise insufficient force to seize and preserve power.

Modern Western politics is an endless “divide and rule” operation.  Rarely do political leaders speak in terms that will unite strong majorities of their peoples.  Even more rarely do they speak of their nations as families or articulate ways for everyone to get along.  Instead, they divide society into groups of “oppressors” and “victims” and explain to anyone suffering why it’s someone else’s fault.

In parliamentary systems across Europe, there are so many political parties that national leaders rarely have majority support.  Floating political alliances often produce legislative results that the public could never have predicted.  For many years, I have regularly asked European friends and associates whether they view their national identity as more important than their European Union identity.  I’ve asked them point-blank, “Are you willing to give up national sovereignty for a single, continental government?”  Every single time — regardless of how pro-E.U. the person is — the answer is the same: “My nation comes first.”

Regardless of those expressed personal feelings, the European Union barrels ahead toward a single super-state.  What started out as a post-war trading bloc exercising few real powers has grown into a continental government with its own currency, president, debt, and growing budgets.  If the Eurocrats can successfully use the Russia-Ukraine War to scare member-states into action, there will soon be a single European military force.  WWI ended several historic empires on the continent.  WWII ended German dreams of a pan-European empire.  Eighty years later, a single European empire looks all but certain.

How did that happen?  Well, it certainly didn’t come from a Europe-wide referendum in which the half a billion citizens were asked whether they would agree to dissolve national borders and elect Ursula von der Leyen as president.  It came from steady incrementalism over many decades, during which local divisions were used to the political advantage of one overarching European government.  Don’t like your national government or local representatives?  Put your faith in the European Union, and all your problems will disappear.

There’s a reason the European Commission spends so much money on “democracy” movements within the borders of member-states: It has a vested interest in riling up the locals and diluting anti-E.U. sentiment.  These days, European Union officials tell the continent’s inhabitants that to be “anti-E.U.” is to be “pro-Putin.”  Europeans who prefer national sovereignty are dismissed as “dangerous nationalists” who spread “Russian disinformation.”  It’s a cynical yet effective way to build a European empire.

In the United States, two major political parties generally vie for power.  This means that a majority of citizens usually supports the elected president.  It does not mean, however, that the “divide and rule” dynamic is any less pervasive.  When discussing current events in the United States, corporate news talking heads are stuck on endless repeat: racism, white supremacy, Christian nationalism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, fascism, and hate.  Everything that news corporations publish is meant to turn Americans against one another.

Why would international corporations spend so much time working to divide Americans?  Because if American citizens are busy calling one another “racists” and “bigots,” then they’re not paying attention to how the federal bureaucracy is spending trillions of dollars in taxes.  We watch Republican and Democrat members of Congress call one another vile names leading up to an election, and then we watch those same politicians laughing with one another once they’ve been handed another term in office.

Republican and Democrat senators don’t despise one another.  They despise the American taxpayer who might object to whatever new spending boondoggle they have planned.  If you can keep Americans at one another’s throats, then nobody notices how many wars are being funded; how many corporate donors are being rewarded; or how much wealth is being transferred from middle-class households to “non-governmental” organizations, family foundations, foreign countries, and other profit-chasing special interests.

As for the vast federal bureaucracy that acts as a permanent government in the United States, it benefits when Americans are too busy yelling at each other to notice what its members are doing.  The CIA, FBI, IRS, and EPA, and the hundreds of other agencies, departments, and governmental bodies that enforce their will upon ordinary Americans, prefer for voters to waste all their energies screaming about pronouns and historic grievances.  While the politicians divide voters by relative “victimhood,” the permanent bureaucratic government rules over the people with little opposition.  While the politicians speak about “democracy,” America’s unelected bureaucratic empire grows.

For several decades now, European and American officials have used mass illegal immigration as the primary engine for their “divide and rule” operations.  The politicians justify their open border policies as humanitarian efforts to assist foreigners escaping oppression.  They even insist that Western nations are responsible for those claiming “asylum” by blaming “global warming” on Western capitalism and calling waves of unvetted migrants “climate refugees.”  All of that is just propaganda for the corporate news institutions to cycle on loop.

In reality, the endless arrival of foreign migrants supplies endless possibilities for manufactured social division.  How do you “divide and rule” a Christian nation?  Relocate millions of Muslims into the country and lecture the native population on “white supremacy” and “Christian nationalism.”  Celebrate “oppressed” cultures and condemn Western civilization as “imperialist,” “patriarchal,” and “racist.”  Accuse all those who love their country’s history of being “hateful bigots.”  Redefine traditional values as forms of “hate” and then criminalize “hate.”  Mass illegal immigration has become Western governments’ preferred “divide and rule” currency.

All of this engineered division within Western societies does raise an important question, though: If there is nothing left to unite us, how will we ever defend ourselves from civilizations that wish us harm?  If Western citizens see their neighbors as enemies, how will they ever work together to fight back real enemies?  Or do Western governments plan on dividing us until there is nothing left and America and Europe can just be handed over to Islamic conquerors and Chinese communists?

If submission to foreign powers is not the goal, then Western leaders need to throw their “divide and rule” playbooks in the fire and find ways to unite Western citizens once again.  Western self-hatred has one outcome: Western immolation.  If we do not rediscover the ties that bind us, we will be scattered to the wind.  If we do not remember how to honor our ancestors and our cultural history, those who do cherish their history will one day conquer us.  The European Union can scream about a looming Russian invasion all it wants, but it will not matter if other civilizations are allowed to invade its member-states.

At some point, Western nations must stop manufacturing division.  If they don’t, they will perish, and it won’t much matter who is ruling then.

Cristina on Twitter asks, “Can you please write another of your beautiful posts about hope. I am not sure I have any left. We need hope.”

I don’t understand how anyone can be without hope right now, personally. The imperial propaganda machine is crumbling in ways we’ve never seen in our lifetime. They wouldn’t work so hard on shoring up narrative control if they didn’t need it, and their narrative control is falling apart.

Look at Israel. This is an arm of the empire that understands the importance of narrative manipulation so acutely that they’ve got their own term for the practice, “hasbara”, with countless systems in place for influencing the way westerners view the Zionist entity. But they’re losing.

Israel and its supporters are more keenly aware of how important it is to control the narrative than maybe any other population on earth, and yet they are losing control of the narrative. Worldwide support for Israel is plummeting, with more American voters sympathizing with the Palestinians than the Israelis for the first time in history.

For the first time in polling history, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians over Israelis.

And the shift just isn’t with Democrats.

Younger Republicans — those under 50 — are 41 points less likely than older Republicans to side with Israelis. pic.twitter.com/70oS87Fdz6

And Israel is panicking. They’ve been ramping up spending on propaganda and influence operations while billionaire Zionists like Larry Ellison use their fortunes to shore up more control over social media platforms and mainstream news outlets. They wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t feel the need to, and it won’t even work. No amount of propaganda is going to cause people to unsee two years of live-streamed genocide. Propaganda is a powerful tool, but it isn’t magic.

The Zionists in the White House are panicking as well. Donald Trump has stated that his goal in securing a ceasefire was to rescue Israel from the PR crisis created by the Netanyahu regime, saying, “Bibi took it very far and Israel lost a lot of support in the world. Now I am gonna get all that support back.”

These sentiments were echoed in a recent 60 Minutes interview with Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who said that the president “felt like the Israelis were getting a little bit out of control” and needed to rein them in, not for the sake of Israel’s victims but to “stop them from doing things that he felt were not in their long-term interests.”

So we’re already at a point where elements of the empire are starting to change their behavior in response to public perception of the empire’s actions. They are not doing this because they suddenly evolved a conscience, they are doing it because they need to maintain perception management. They understand that if the public turns against them past a certain point, they’re in some very dangerous territory.

Every time history has seen the public rise up against their tyrannical rulers and lop their heads off, the world’s oligarchs and empire managers have sat up and taken notice. The rich and the powerful are always urgently aware that there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them and that we can use those superior numbers to get rid of them whenever we want to, so they have an existential interest in preventing us from wanting to.

That’s why Israel, the United States and their allies have poured so much energy into sustaining the most sophisticated propaganda engine ever created. They know that the empire they operate depends on the ability to manipulate the way normal people think, speak, act and vote, continuously steering us toward convenient thoughts and behaviors and away from inconvenient thoughts and behaviors.

This entire dystopia is sustained by mass-scale mind control, and the mind control machine is getting weaker and weaker by the day. More and more people are waking up to the fact that we are ruled by tyrants, that our politicians and media have been deceiving us, and that everything we were taught to believe about our nation, our government and our world was a lie.

So while in the short term things might look darker than ever before, what’s spelled out in the trends we are seeing tells us that the bars of our cage are made of melting ice. We are freeing our minds from the artificial delusions that have turned us into docile and obedient gear-turners, and awakening the healthy animals within us.

I find it impossible to feel hopeless under such circumstances. I don’t feel certain that everything will work out perfectly fine, but I find it impossible not to have hope.

They’re on the back foot. This has never happened before.

We’ve got a real shot at winning this thing.

The post The Imperial Propaganda Machine Is Failing In Unprecedented Ways appeared first on LewRockwell.

The meeting between Trump and Putin in Hungary, assuming the pre-meeting negotiations between the envoys of the two presidents get that far, is likely the last chance for peace instead of war.  An agreement between the two presidents will require large adjustments in position for one or the other or both.

Either Trump would have to understand and accept that the solution is to get NATO off of Russia’s border and agree to a mutual security agreement between Russia and the West, or Putin would have to give up his goal of a mutual security agreement that brings an end to hostility, sanctions, and ceaseless provocations of Russia.  How likely are Trump’s envoys for Ukraine, Gen. Keith Kellogg and Steve Witkoff, and Putin’s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, to produce that mutual understanding?

It is possible but unlikely.  The envoys on both sides have their own agendas.  They will be working to serve their agendas.  Kirill Dmitriev represents Russian business interests whose contacts are in the West and who have few, if any, with BRICS.

Kellogg has international business interests and will be serving those interests.  Witcoff is a billionaire real estate developer and at times seems to represent Israel.  

None of the three envoys has any comprehension of the depth and danger of Russia’s insecurity with missiles positioned on a long front along Russia’s border.  Dmitriev, like the American enjoys, wants concessions from Putin that will allow Russian business interests to be working with Western ones.  Consequently, they will be working for their interests and not for removing the threat that is Russia’s concern.

Perhaps if American foreign policy commentary focused on the real problem and spent less time demonizing Russia and “exposing” Russian military and economic vulnerabilities, something positive could happen.  But there is no sign of commentary that deals with the real situation.

Simply ending the Ukraine conflict and agreeing that the territory reincorporated into Russia is Russian does not end the security threat presented to Russia from having NATO and US missile bases on Russia’s border.

What is required is a mutual security agreement and the end to all provocations of Russia.  

The post Can the Trump-Putin Meeting in Hungary Succeed? appeared first on LewRockwell.

Donald Trump seems to be following through in his second term as president on the threat of a United States war on Venezuela he made in his first term. Significant US military force has been recently placed near Venezuela ready for attack, the US has already destroyed several boats near Venezuela and killed most the people on them in a claimed effort to counter “narco-terrorism,” and Trump last week said he has authorized Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operation and is considering attacks on land in Venezuela.

The justification the Trump administration presents for all this is that it is part of the US government’s drug war, an endeavor that has meted out death, destruction, and rights abuses decade after decade as drug use in America continues along. The Trump administration also recharacterizes alleged drug transport as “narco-terrorism” in an effort to gain legal and public support for hostile actions.

Trump seems not to be content to go to war against just Venezuela whose President Nicolás Maduro he has proclaimed is a drug kingpin. Trump on Sunday pegged the president of neighboring Western Hemisphere nation Colombia with the same accusation used against Maduro. Here is how Trump put it in a Sunday post at his Truth Social page:

President Gustavo Petro, of Colombia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Colombia. It has become the biggest business in Colombia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLOMBIA. The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc. Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump

Notice Trump’s comment that the Colombia president “better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely.” That is a threat of war.

Will Trump stop with just these two countries in a Western Hemisphere war spree? Trump, after regaining the presidency earlier this year, took actions in apparent preparation for war on Mexico as well — actions in line with Trump’s comments since his first term supportive of war on Mexica and argued to be for protecting Americans from drugs and terrorism as with wars on Venezuela and Colombia.

The post President Trump Seems Itching for Multiple Wars in the Western Hemisphere appeared first on LewRockwell.

Over the past decade, Canada has drifted from compelled speech into open flirtations with preemptive policing. What was once the realm of dystopian fiction, as described in Philip K. Dick’s The Minority Report and Orwell’s 1984, is now lawmaking reality. Legislators use words such as “safety” and “security” to gaslight their citizens while providing the exact opposite.

On October 8, 2024, constitutional lawyer John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms warned that bills C-2, C-8, and C-9 would give bureaucrats and judges unprecedented power to surveil, silence, and preemptively punish citizens. He stated unequivocally that “Canada will be a police state by Christmas if Parliament passes these bills in their current form.”

Even though some of these measures were re-tabled, a similar approach remains: a belief that the state should control language, speech, data, and now thought. The human impulse toward control extends beyond political divides, and it should be just as much a concern for Americans as it is for Canadians.

I have documented this trend in various of my articles over the past decade: “Canada’s Boldest Professor Defies the Gender Police” (2016), “Canada’s Free Speech Wars” (2017), “The Tyranny of Gender Ideology in Practice” (2023), and “A Catholic’s Caution About Mark Carney” (2025). Liberal leadership, exemplified by the Trudeau government from 2015 to 2025 and the Carney government since March 2025, has consistently assaulted free speech. Similar to the boiling frog analogy, every new piece of legislation gradually intensifies the situation until it becomes irreversible.

Bill C-12: “Strong Borders” to Weak Privacy

Bill C-2, which was later rebranded as Bill C-12, was sold as a tool to fight fentanyl trafficking and money laundering. However, it includes a broad “lawful-access” clause that gives law enforcement and intelligence organizations the authority to obtain subscriber and metadata data based only on a suspicion of misconduct. Without a warrant or court supervision, service providers can be forced to turn over private information in a matter of days.

The bill would empower Canada Post (Canada’s mailing service) to open and detain private mail, merging border enforcement with domestic surveillance. Thanks to opposition pressure, particularly from the Conservatives, the government was forced to withdraw these provisions and introduce a narrower replacement.

Bill C-8: Cyber Security or Digital Exile

Bill C-8 grants cabinet ministers authority to order internet providers to block individuals, demand subscriber data, and impose fines up to $50,000 per day on citizens and $15 million on corporations who fail to comply. Appeals are so costly that few could afford to challenge the government.

The result is a legal framework for digital banishment, a system in which a minister’s order can erase one’s online presence, banking access, and even livelihood. Despite justifying such mechanisms as a safeguard against “bad actors,” history demonstrates that once granted, broad administrative powers rarely remain confined to their intended purpose.

Bill C-9: Emotion as Evidence

Bill C-9 removes the Attorney General’s oversight of hate-speech prosecutions and allows judges to increase sentences whenever they feel hate was a motive.

Yet Canada already criminalizes hate under section 319 of the Criminal Code, which defines “public incitement of hatred” and “wilful promotion of hatred” and provides explicit defenses of truth, good-faith religious expression, and participation in public debate. C-9 would eradicate these safeguards, replacing intent with emotion and empowering courts to criminalize speech that merely offends. When feelings supplant facts, justice becomes ideologically possessed.

Bill C-63: Thoughtcrime Codified

Although it’s been put on hold for now, the Canadian government hints at reviving the insidious Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act. If ever reaching royal assent, it would create a Digital Safety Commission to regulate platforms, introduce a new hate-motivated offense and peace-bond mechanism, and amend the Canadian Human Rights Act so that any expression “likely to foment detestation or vilification” could trigger civil prosecution.

Such language enshrines pre-crime by statute, which signifies the legal embodiment of thoughtcrime. In Orwell’s 1984, “crimethink” referred to citizens punished for harboring ideas the Party deemed “unacceptable.” Bill C-63 seeks to also govern behavior and conscience.

From Compelled Speech to Criminalized Dissent

It is important to realize that these bills are not isolated. They extend a pattern beginning with Bill C-16 (2016), which added “gender identity and expression” to the Human Rights Act and Criminal Code, compelling citizens to use state-approved pronouns, and Bill C-4 (2021), which criminalized “conversion therapy”—even voluntary counselling that affirms biological reality.

The results are glaring. Catholic student Josh Alexander was suspended and arrested for saying there are two sexes. A father in British Columbia was jailed for “misgendering” his daughter. Pastor Derek Reimer was repeatedly imprisoned for protesting “Drag Queen Story Hour.” Once the government can dictate language, one’s conscience becomes the property of the state.

Across the Atlantic: Warnings from England and Ireland

Canadians are not alone. Across Europe, vague “hate” laws have produced activist policing and criminalization of dissent. In Britain, former officer Harry Miller was visited by police who told him they were there to “check his thinking,” an act later ruled unlawful for its chilling effect on free expression. Television writer Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow for social media posts about gender ideology and banned from posting online while on bail. Blogger Pete North was arrested for a post about Hamas and accused of stirring up racial hatred. In Ireland, teacher Enoch Burke has been jailed multiple times for refusing to use a student’s preferred pronouns.

Speech policing transforms into thought policing when laws are based on subjective harm. Canada is merely formalizing in legislation what Europe has normalized in practice.

The Covid Template

Canadians have already lived under temporary autocracy. During the Covid years, as I have well documented in my book COVID-19: A Dystopian Delusion, churches were closed, protesters’ bank accounts were frozen, travel restrictions were imposed on the unvaccinated, jobs were lost for refusing experimental injections, and speech was censored from dissidents under the guise of “public health.” Those “alarmist” behaviors have now been structured into routine governance. What was once unthinkable has become commonplace.

A Cautionary Tale for America

Americans should not view these developments with smug detachment. No country or party is immune from weaponizing courts against its opponents. If, for instance, Republicans begin to use the law to punish their enemies, they build the same machinery that progressives will later turn against them. (This is something we have seen the Left implement ruthlessly; conservatives mustn’t follow the same missteps.)

In the United States, for instance, one can witness more immediate ramifications of questioning a particular narrative of a particular country that is sold as the “good guy” over another deadly group when both groups are deadly. Unthinkingly, the majority of people become polarized over two fictitious and diametrically opposed options instead of seeing their double threat. I’ll let readers make what they may of that statement.

Both the Left and Right will serve the very technocratic state they claim to oppose if political expediency replaces truth. The lesson from Canada is clear: do not hand your moral debates to bureaucrats or judges. The state’s adjudication of truth and conscience transforms liberty into a temporary license, subject to revocation at any time.

In 1975, Ronald Reagan told 60 Minutes that “if fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.” His warning has outgrown its partisan frame. Today, totalitarianism comes disguised as compassionate, empathetic, polite, procedural, and progressive. Whether under Democrats or Republicans, the temptation to “keep us safe” by silencing our neighbors is the seed of tyranny. Freedom rarely dies by revolution; it dies through a thousand “compassionate” declarations. Orwell foresaw it. Reagan warned about it. Carpay is trying to prevent it, even though Canada is rapidly descending into it. The United States should take heed of it.

On October 20th, the Washington Post headlined “EXCLUSIVE: Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal: To secure Washington’s access to El Salvador’s most notorious prison, the secretary of state made an extraordinary offer to President Nayib Bukele.”, and reported:

In the days before the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan immigrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador, the president of that country demanded something for himself: the return of nine MS-13 gang leaders in U.S. custody.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a March 13 phone call with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, promised the request would be fulfilled, according to officials familiar with the conversation. But there was one obstacle: Some of the MS-13 members Bukele wanted were “informants” under the protection of the U.S. government, Rubio told him.

To deport them to El Salvador, Attorney General Pam Bondi would need to terminate the Justice Department’s arrangements with those men, Rubio said. He assured Bukele that Bondi would complete that process and Washington would hand over the MS-13 leaders.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio promised to betray MS-13 informants in exchange for access to El Salvador’s most notorious prison.

Rubio’s extraordinary pledge illustrates the extent to which the Trump administration was willing to meet Bukele’s demands as it negotiated what would become one of the signature agreements of President Donald Trump’s early months in office. While the outlines of the quid pro quo have been public for months, the Trump administration’s willingness to renege on secret arrangements made with informants who had aided U.S. investigations has not been previously reported. …

In promising to terminate the informant arrangements, current and former Justice Department officials say Rubio threatened to undercut years of work by U.S. law enforcement to apprehend and secure the cooperation of high-ranking members of one of the world’s most deadly gangs.

“The deal is a deep betrayal of U.S. law enforcement, whose agents risked their lives to apprehend the gang members,” said Douglas Farah, a U.S. contractor who worked with federal officials to investigate and help dismantle the MS-13 gang.

Nixing the agreements also threatens to damage the credibility of the Justice Department, which routinely relies on informants to build cases against high-level criminals, officials said. …

At least three of the MS-13 leaders Bukele requested had divulged incriminating information about members of his government. … The others remain in the United States, waiting to learn whether they, too, will be handed over to the very government they were cooperating against. …

“The Trump Administration’s results speak for themselves,” said Tommy Pigott, a State Department spokesman. “Hardened TdA gang members are back in Venezuela … MS-13 gang members are being prosecuted in the U.S. and El Salvador. And Americans are safer as a result of these incredible efforts.” ….

It is reasonable to presume that the one of the three which Bukele has who had “divulged incriminating information about members of his government” is now dead, missing, or otherwise being treated worse than the other tens of thousands in El Salvador’s mega-prison are being treated.

Why would any Government trust a Government like America’s, enough to negotiate with it?

And why should any Government that has already negotiated an agreement with this Government continue abiding by its terms? Would it be fair and reasonable for all such Governments to make continued compliance by them conditional upon Washington’s agreeing in clear terms to Washington’s now making additional concessions? If Washington then declines to provide any such, then should the other country take action to separate itself from its alliance with this rogue regime that sells-out even its allies?

To be a friend of the U.S. Government is an extremely dangerous situation to be in. This has aleady been amply proven by the enormous harms that Europe’s alliance with it, after the U.S. regime in 2014 perpetrated an extremely bloody coup that overthrew the democratically elected neutralist head-of-state in Ukraine and installed there a rabidly anti-Russian regime that since has drained over $400 billion from America’s European ‘allies’ in order to sustain on Russia’s border this rabidly anti-Russian government there (installed BY the U.S. regime), have done to Europe. It’s causing a severe recession — perhaps ultimately a depression — in Europe. WHY should they continue this? The actual question is: SHOULD they continue this?

After all: This problem didn’t really START with Trump.
