Why Revolutions Derail

Posted on March 22, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, The EU was always a bog in a fen,Run by despots in cubicles with pen,Brussels kissing booth,Is getting long in the tooth,Because central planning has failed again. The elite have made it clear you see,They just don’t trust … Continue reading →

The Lesson Of WWII

Posted on February 22, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the elite and academia learned exactly the wrong lesson from WWII. They concluded that since the national socialists had national in their name, nationalism must have been the problem. I suspect this is because … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Mamdani’s smarmy and scolding,A proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing,Selling absurdity,Later atrocity,And in the end he’ll inspire loathing. Barack Obama is a true hater,A rabid arrogant race baiter,Dumb as a stump,His brain is a lump,And to his foolishness they … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Kingly power in a saint brings out ferocity,It seldom makes a villain learn generosity,So forsooth,Here’s a truth,Unlimited power leads to unlimited atrocity. Villains will give you the dickens,As your pulse and pace quickens,We act out of fright,And some … 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, There once was a place called the surveillance state,Order enforced by mic, camera, and gate,Pressure grows vast,Released in a blast,And the despots end up in a cardboard crate. Rent seeking is quite legit,A way to enrich the unfit,Here’s … 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 →
