    Reading Time: 2 minutesI’m just hearing the news that the United States has attacked nuclear sites in Iran. In addition, Germany is positioning itself to join the fray. Unfortunately for these evil-doers, nature is coming into her own and these nations are out of step with her. By comparison with them, Iran is a favored…

    Reading Time: 5 minutesI may have found the book behind the 2016 attack on progressivism. It’s Guido Giacomo Preparata’s The Ideology of Tyranny: The Use of Neo-Gnostic Myth in American Politics. 1 It explains the outrageous backlash that brought us Donald Trump as well as the behavior of the Democrats. But there are a few…

    Reading Time: 3 minutesCan democrats criticize the Enlightenment? In Harold Kaplan’s analysis of modern literature, he doesn’t criticize the Enlightenment (late 17th to early 19th century), but he mentions it as a timeframe for a modern state of mind which has been detrimental to western thought.1 He doesn’t criticize the Enlightenment in Democratic Humanism and…

    Reading Time: 3 minutesThis article is a progressive view of the 2024 election. This is just the way I see it. It’s the result of watching the electoral process very closely since 2015, but I could be wrong on any point. It’s value to me is that it refutes many of the strategic mistakes I…

    Reading Time: 2 minutesI recently found a key date that confirms my suspicions about Steve Bannon’s so-called Traditionalism.  I’ve long suspected that Bannon isn’t a real traditionalist. To be clear, Bannon is not a real traditionalist in the same sense that Donald Trump was never a real candidate.  Bannon piggy-backed on this conversation in the…

    Reading Time: 5 minutesI’m not trying to end to our conversation with people in these categories.  I’m trying to clarify the position of progressives by comparison with competing voices in the “progressive” movement.  I put progressive in quotation marks because there are non-progressive participants in this movement. In fact, there are categories of participants that…

    Reading Time: 7 minutesThe Russian collusion debate was straight-forward to begin with. The Clinton campaign accused the Russians of hacking the DNC’s email account. They claimed Russia did this in order to embarrass the Democrats and swing the election to Trump. This was supposed to explain Hillary’s loss. The Left rejected this explanation only to…

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhen I see ‘President’ Trump sitting smugly in the White House as Puerto Ricans are abandoned by the world I am ashamed to be an American. When I see my fellow Americans continue to defend him, grief overwhelms me. When I contemplate the fact that he appears to be a member…

    Reading Time: 5 minutesThe circus of the 2016 election was too weird to be explained by ambition. I suspected one of three motives. Keep in mind that I may have been in a state of paranoia: The geopolitical situation is so precarious that the oligarchs are afraid they’ll lose their hold on world domination if…
