“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.”

The middle age of the Middle Kingdom

It has become very clear over the past few years that Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilisations” hypothesis was eerily prescient, and that China will indeed become one of the primary belligerents in a roughly five-way global conflict. The Chinese,...

A hard lesson from the Dirt World

Do y’all remember what I wrote recently about how India has a serious illegal immigration problem from Bangladesh? Here is a rather good take on the subject that goes beyond simple anecdotal evidence, from Daniel Greenfield: India’s 2,582 mile border with...

“The Member of Parliament for the 18th Century”

The new Prime Minster of PommieBastardLand, Boris Johnson, may well be a bit of a clown – at least on the surface – but there is absolutely no doubt that he has some serious intellectual firepower underneath that floppy mop of silly hair and that big...

As Theresa Maybot’s utterly useless administration lurches from disaster to catastrophe with monotonous regularity with regards to getting Britain the hell OUT of the European Union, it is worth taking a look at some old-fashioned British humour to explain...

Riders on the storm

So here’s a fun story from the road… The reason why posts have been relatively short and infrequent of late is because, of course, I have been on the road for the last couple of weeks, in the middle of Goathumperstan. Pictures and commentary from the trip...

If it didn’t work the first 999 times…

I was planning to write a longer post today, but got sidetracked. (Okay, honesty demands that I admit that this is just my way of saying that it was pouring cats and dogs today, and I wasn’t feeling too great because of this disgustingly phlegmy chest infection...

The glory of the Raj

It is a near-universal law that intellectuals around the world are Leftists who focus on oppression narratives to explain away the failures of their respective countries to accomplish anything worthwhile – or, in the case of advanced Western nations, to score...

Don’t fall sick in China

Or you might just… wake up dead: Very few Westerners truly understand just how alien the Chinese mindset and culture is to liberal, secular, Western social democratic values. You kind of have to go there, or at least live in a society heavily influenced by...
