Hubris Leads To Destruction

Posted on November 21, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems the acme of hubris to me, for someone to think they should take over that which they could never have created. We see this in armed robbery, hostile takeovers, and nationalizations. When someone who was unable … Continue reading →

How the Administrative State Is Fueling Public Anger in the West

Posted on November 16, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the longer a person or people hold anger in, the greater the explosion when it emerges. People aren’t sane when they are angry. Neither you nor I are rational when in a state of … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Buy high sell low,That’s the way the markets go,Ride the carousel,Chase the closing bell,And end up selling matches in the snow. Today the world is run by globalism,Driving populists and elitists to a schism,Democracy’s a mess,The harder they … Continue reading →

Plunder Results In Poverty

Posted on November 14, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the more a nation steals… the poorer they become. This applies not only to taxation, but to annexation, and plunder from foreign adversaries. How could I say such a counter intuitive thing? Because history … Continue reading →

Minions Make The Executive

Posted on November 12, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, no matter how great an executive is, if he is surrounded by half-wits, clingers, and traitors… he will fail, and fail miserably. This will happen no matter how hard-working, adept, or patriotic he may … Continue reading →

The Race For AI

Posted on November 7, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the claim we have to race ahead with AI is pure Hegelian manipulation at its finest. Brainics created AI, then claim it’s an existential threat in the wrong hands, the CCP. So we have … Continue reading →

Defining An Evil Faction

Posted on November 5, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems absurd to me to expect a faction that’s tyrannically violent, believes itself our betters, holds itself above the law, and even civility itself… will deliver anything but poverty, crime, and despotism once in power. It’s like … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Tapping energy we cannot detect,Things from which we cannot protect,Science ala carte,Is not that smart,It’s the acme of the Dunning Kruger Effect. The Scott’s offered friendship and immigration,The guests took that as an engraved invitation,Men are too few,What … Continue reading →

On Trusting The Untrustworthy

Posted on October 24, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, in personal as well as international relations, it’s best not to sign agreements you know the other side won’t live up to. If you’re selling someone a car on credit, and they clearly have … Continue reading →
