From Dancing Czars. ————————————————————————————————————————————————- How The U.S. Will Become A 3rd World Country The United States is increasingly similar to a 3rd world county in several ways and is accelerating towards 3rd world status.

Excellent. Maybe “the troops” will now have a distraction from raping local women in U.S.-occupied lands. It doesn’t get any better than this: Former Army Col.

Bill Lind’s classic. Doesn’t this sound just like the anti-ATS chorus? The most deadly aspect of Cultural Marxism/Totalitarian Humanism is that it identifies broad categories of human beings that are undefined as evil by virtue of their mere existence as the principal enemy, as opposed to attacking specific […]
All about Distributivism.

Not coincidentally, the realist George Kennan became a supporter of something resembling pan-secessionism in his final years, whereas supporters of “human rights internationalism” typically […]
Watch the video. This is a great discussion, and an example of the kind of civil and intelligent dialogue between the radical Left and radical Right that there needs to be more of.
