“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Welcome to the Panopticon

Think what you will of Edward Snowden, but before you make up your mind,watch the entire interviewthat he did with The Guardian while on the run in Hong Kong. As far as I’m concerned, he’sa goddamn hero.This man sacrificed everything- a very lucrative...

Remember, YOUR PEOPLE Elected These Arseholes

I have been following the Snowden affair with some considerable interest, not least because it vindicates every last bit of mistrust and hatred that I have for this country’s government. I plan to write at some greater length about this, mostly because as...

Choose Your Major Carefully

My sister and I are very close, but in many ways we are as different as chalk and cheese. In no respect is this more true than in our choices of colleges and majors, and in our post-college careers. Speaking with her earlier today, I came to realise that Aaron Clarey-...

Book Review: Reagan’s War by Peter Schweizer

As I mentioned previously in this post, one of the books that I’ve been reading through is highly relevant to the state of near-terminal decline and decay that Western civilisation finds itself in today. That book is Reagan’s War: The Epic Story of His...

Domain Query: On Reaganomics

pumpsix returns with a good question on the Reagan Revolution: What do you think of Reaganomics? The idea, to me, seems so logical. More capital in the hands of those who can produce factories and jobs. However, I am constantly told that Reaganomics didn’t work....

Domain Query: Introverts and Self-Improvement

Though my posts might be few and far between, I do in fact read the comments that people (and I mean people, not spambots) post. It just takes me a while to respond to them, for which I can only apologise. Nonetheless, a recent comment from pumpsix was, I...

Speaking of Civilisation Collapse…

You just know that it’s in the offing for a society that rewards stupidity in such lavish fashion: She said of finalising her contract: ‘I am happy with the seven figure settlement I have reached, with who I feel to be the best adult entertainment company...

Dubya Reconsidered

The Telegraph is known in the UK as a “right-wing” newspaper (though here in the US it would qualify as very much a centrist or even left-wing publication), and even then is not exactly known for being a cheerleader for George W. Bush. So it’s...

Barack Obama: Pussy-Whipped POTUS?

I was hoping to link to an article over at Return of Kings written earlier this week about President Obarmy, but for some reason, that article was taken down. It’s just a good thing that I emailed it to myself for later reference, because it’s a damn good...

Death and Taxes

April 15th is a date that should be marked down on the calendar as the one date on which the American people ought to be able to tar and feather government officials without fear of reprisal. Why? Because it is, of course, Tax Day. Let’s get one thing clear...
