Grassroots Versus Astro Turf

Posted on December 8, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me we live in an AstroTurfed world. Nothing we see is organic. Everything we are allowed to see is fabricated to form and protect a narrative to enable the extraction to continue. When social media … Continue reading →

Leadership Judged

Posted on December 7, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the quality of the world’s leadership can be judged in three ways, prosperity, peace, and freedom. By all three metrics our world leaders are abject failures. Liberty has become a dirty word to the … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, They disarmed them first,Then imported the worst,Sowing strife,Abusing for life,And filing the prisons to burst. The progressive elite are at war,As the dogs are at their door,Unlimited fight,Might makes right,And we’re the enemy they abhor. Corporations suck customers … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, When you’ve vilified someone to dithers,But they refuse to attack from the withers,A false flag will do,Another one too,From the faction that sneaks and slithers. Violent leftists and media are in bed,Telling a story not right in the … Continue reading →

Government Accountability

Posted on December 3, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, if an accountant messes up your taxes, a plumber ruins your plumbing, or an electrician shorts out your wiring, they are accountable to repair it… a government should be just as accountable for its … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Appeal to authority is always clear,With power and consequences dear,Do as they say,Knowing the way,As their orders are ever backed by fear. The elite so shill the utopian curse,All they need is a deeper purse,Regulating to poverty,Taking our … Continue reading →

Absurdity, Universals, and Despotism

Posted on November 30, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, despots use modifiers to pervert universals to mean their opposites. They see morality as contingent on political ideal, justice contingent on a political favor, and a crime contingent on the criminal. The result is … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Once there lived a man called Voltaire,Deep into philosophy he would stare,He said with a fright,And some insight,Absurdity leads to atrocity so take care. Thune is an unimpressive politician,Threading a needle with intuition,He said herding cats,I’ll empower democrats,Making … Continue reading →

Elitists Are Terrible People

Posted on November 28, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, elitists are terrible people. By terrible people, I mean they look down on the rest of us, have no morals, and thus place no limits on their actions. Who am I calling elitists? That … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, You cant kill a hydra by cutting off a head,Religion and politics are incestuously wed,Go for the heart,That’s the hard part,Because it requires killing the ideology instead. Mancur Olsen was of the progressive faction,A thinker of his time … Continue reading →
