"Throughout this work, the Author delineates example after example of the scalps taken by this movement.

Every life destroyed, every job taken, every livelihood snatched away, every act of defiance punished.

Yet McWhorter is not content to ‘fiddle whilst Rome burns.’

In so much as it is a literary work, it equally - if not more so - serves as a clarion call.

A call to arms, that would not be out of place in revolutionary times.

In fact, the book is dedicated to “each who find it within themselves to take a stand against this detour in humanity’s intellectual, cultural and moral development.”

An injunction against genuflecting at the altar of this psuedo-religion, a revolutionary call to sanity in the face of insanity.

Prepared to be the Galileo of our generation, the Author has laid bare the truth before us - it is up to us how we should act."

Election after election, we see opposition politicians try to turn the EU into an electoral issue for their political gain.

On the back of this, we see them given overwhelmingly favorable media coverage and praise from international elites.

Yet time after time, turning the EU into an electoral issue is a losing strategy.

Hell, when a referendum was last held on EU membership, Britain voted to leave!

For anti-establishment politicians, Brussels is the perfect boogeyman to run against.

Unaccountable officialdom which purports to rule by Diktat, what could be a more perfect foil for the populist or the outsider?

Speak to Cuban refugees, or the people of Poland and other former Soviet Satellite states, and you will see their genetic hatred of socialism come quickly to the surface.

Socialism to them is not some benign economic philosophy studied in university, it is an evil which has inflicted untold misery upon them and their family.

Sadly, the decline of the West has led to the normalization, if not celebration of socialism by the youth of today.

It is trendy to embrace this system of oppression whilst reaping the benefits of capitalism and free markets.

If socialism ever comes to dominate the West, it will have been through our failure to educate our children of its evils.

The first step in that education must be, asking the fundamental question: why has socialism never worked anywhere it has been imposed?

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” (Winston Churchill) As President Reagan, once said: “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it

It appears two forces now exist within the European Union – pro-EU integrationist elites, and those who believe in a Europe of sovereign, independent, cooperating nations. Upcoming election cycles could potentially shift the political landscape within the EU if the latter group continues to win favour among their electorates.

It is no surprise then that leaders like Macron will seek to stamp out any dissent and resistance to their utopian vision of a deeply integrated, undemocratic Europe run by a select few with little input from regular people like you and I. They sense a changing tide of support against them among their citizens, and they will not go quietly.

Choose your side carefully."

In 2015, the longest-serving Prime Minister in Israel’s History, Benjamin Netanyahu, went to Washington with a singular purpose: to stop the Obama Administration’s Iran Deal ever drawing breath.

Unprecedented in American-Israel relations, Netanyahu publicly rebuked the Democratic President before a Joint Session of Congress - before beseeching Israel’s friends in America to not leave her alone in the breach to face Iran.

Honoring and holding to the traditions of his father, Benzion Netanyahu, he stood up for the Jewish state against the evil intersection of the bomb and ‘radical Islam.’

Fast forward to 2022, and Joe Biden - Obama’s VP - is now the incumbent at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and determined to resurrect the Iran Deal. Now the only difference is that US reentry into the Iran Deal would not only endanger Israel, but her newly-found gulf allies as well. Ever since the Ayatollah coup in ‘79, Iran’s evil has only grown in its power and its reach. Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza. Hezbollah in Lebanon. Houthis in Yemen. Kata’ib Hezbollah and other Shia factions in Iraq. Financial and military support for Assad in Syria. The tentacles of their evil spreading far beyond Iran’s borders.

For whatever reason, successive Democratic Presidents have thought the best response is to befriend Iran and its proxies, and reward their terror. For Jerusalem, stopping a nuclear Iran has been the biggest security objective of the past decade. And for the second time in a decade the prospect of a nuclear Iran endorsed by Washington has raised its head.

An Israeli PM once went to DC to stop Iran attaining the bomb, and the time has come to do so again.

"A world full of evils, in need of good to oppose it. Sadly, it has become all too apparent that there are far too few willing to keep the fires of liberty sacred and burning. Israel, and her allies in the Middle East, stand as a bulwark against the machinations of Iran and its spawn. In Europe, Britain, Poland and other Eastern nations bearing the scars of appeasement in previous generations, have boldly stood in the breach once more against a tyrant on the march in Europe.

Far too few who stand for what is right, with a burning question on all everyone’s lips: where is American leadership? Where is America?

Well, incumbent in the White House, is a President in name only. A President flagging at home and abroad. A reincarnation of the Carter Administration. In other words, America without a leader. America without a leader, is a world without American Leadership."

“America is the only country ever founded on an idea. The only country that is not founded on race or even common history. It’s founded on an idea and the idea is liberty. That is probably the rarest phenomena in the political history of the world; this has never happened before. And not only ha...

Defying the political eviction notice, Johnson has rallied to survive in Number 10.

The key turning point has been Putin’s barbarous war on Ukraine.

Domestic turmoil has been postponed to oppose this prolonged act of tyranny.

With Biden’s America abdicating its duty of leadership, NATO faltering, and the EU having reached its rubicon, the Free World has lacked a leader.

Drawing on his hero Churchill’s example, Johnson has acted decisively to buttress Ukraine and lead on the international stage.

"A growing phenomenon in the West of recent times, has been the blight of moral equivocation between good and evil.

In the Middle East, spurious attempts are made to degrade Israel, and establish some sort of moral parity between the only democracy in the Middle East and Islamic terrorist groups, Hamas & Fatah (entities who enhance remuneration for the number of Jews you kill - especially women and children).

In Afghanistan, the moral standing of America and Britain was routinely assaulted to weaken the common sense of purpose underpinning Western presence in that nation.

Efforts as vexatious these have come to exemplify the division of the West, that even transcends war itself.

As such, it is hardly surprising to bear witness to the attempts of many to undermine the resistance of Ukraine to Putin’s tyranny, and particularly vilify the leadership of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Their rationale apparent, that if the virtue of the Ukrainian cause can be eroded if not completely subverted, the justification for their inaction and self-preservation can assume the moral high ground."

"Neutrality is no ally of sovereignty; it is in fact its enemy. Irish neutrality has meant the outsourcing of our national defence to our Western allies, and thanking our de facto enemies for our submission.

Beyond our own national sovereignty, it is immoral. Neutrality refuses to recognise the right and wrong even where it is clear for the eye to see, be it in World War II or in Ukraine.

I am not saying we should invade Iraq in search of ‘weapons of mass destruction’, but certainly we – as a democracy – should wish to be counted amongst the opponents of N**i Germany or Putin’s Russia, than officially impartial in the face of evil."

"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow.

Sir Winston Churchill, 5th March 1946: The 'Iron Curtain' Speech

Beyond the time at which Churchill delivered this famous diagnosis, it seems that there could hardly be a more apt time for that speech than the present day.

At the time of writing, Putin’s Russia desperate to degrade itself to the evil tyranny of the USSR, have invaded Ukraine.

The long-time bread basket and subjugant of centuries of Russian Imperialists, once more is finds its eternal oppressor holding it back from freedom, from sovereignty, from an existence independent of Moscow.

The specter of evil, be it Russian, Chinese or Iranian, has been growing but we have sought to ignore it.

"The Iron Curtain is Descending Once More: Nearly 80 Years After Churchill's Premonition, History is Repeating Itself"

In the 2012 US Presidential Debate, Barack Obama derided Mitt Romney for his classification of Russia as America’s ‘Number One Geopolitical Foe’ – quipping that the 80s wanted their foreign policy back.

Cheered on by the media, this nonsensical attack was hailed as one of the great Presidential debate ‘zingers.’

Notwithstanding China’s joint custody of that title, Romney was right and the 80s Foreign Policy of Ronald Reagan would have been more effective in deterring Russian militarism – than the feeble Foreign Policy (if it can even be called that) of the Obama Administration, which emboldened dictator and terrorist alike.

t is now a question of how long (even if) Western Nations will wise up to the fact that the West is in a new Cold War against Russia and China. The liberty and lives of millions, if not billions, depends on that realization occurring.

The Jury has cleared Kyle Rittenhouse of all charges - Justice has been served!

The then 17 year old shot two BLM rioters in self defence (one of whom was a convicted pa******le)!

This a teen who exercised his rights to defend local businesses against thugs.

Justice for Kyle Rittenhouse, & let's hope he sues the media into oblivion for defamation 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

11/11/2021

This is the face of Kyle Rittenhouse, who as a 17 year old kid last year, went out on to the streets to protect businesses and property from BLM rioters.

He is on trial for acting in self defence when he shot fatally two men who made the teen fear for his life.

The prosecution have tried to paint him as an extremist and a murderer - nothing could be further from the truth.

He broke down on the stand describing the trauma of that night and the fear he felt.

This isn't the face of a murderer. This is the face of a teenager who tried to defend businesses and property in his community from BLM thugs.

Let us pray he is found innocent & justice is served!

Rush Limbaugh: A Sorely Missed Voice In American Conservatism

The most dangerous man in America to some, the Doctor of Democracy to others, Rush Limbaugh’s departure from this earth is America’s loss and there will be no conservative ever able to do it just like Rush.

Adored and vilified, with talent on loan from God as he said himself, conservative America would be a thing of the past without Limbaugh.

His bombastic and powerful style and voice are sorely missed today, in opposing the tyranny of the Democrats.

Let us hope those he inspired can carry on the mantle and continue the fight for American values and liberty!
