I need to keep repeating that communism is a bait-and-switch scheme by a class of wealthy meddlers who wish to control the lives of others with life-and-death power over them. In a word, socialism is slavery. They've proven this in modern history by trying to control what people may own, what they may say, what they may think and with whom they may associate, always through fear of punishment, especially social punishment. I recently discussed my latest Federalist piece on t

I’ve never been a country music fan. And I couldn’t name more than a handful of famous country singers, and even fewer country songs. But Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors" is a new all time favorite of mine across all genres. Ironically, I knew about the song for many years, but the first time I heard her sing it was this past Tuesday after getting the news that Dolly Parton passed away. How could this be? Many years ago I came across a children’s book on display in my pu

What do you make of the women who are cheering on Lindsay Clancy at her trial for strangling her three young children to death? In this Friday's blog post, let's explore that phenomenon. Women gathered at Plymouth Courthouse to show support for child murderer Lindsay Clancy. Do you think they sincerely believe Clancy is innocent because of a diagnosis of postpartum psychosis? Maybe they believe she was failed by the mental health system? Do you think these women represent a

In my latest Federalist piece I look at the comeback of the murderous ideology of Socialism or Communism. It's titled "How Cancel Culture Laid the Groundwork for the Left's Socialist Lurch." Socialism and Communism have always amounted to the same thing throughout history: totalitarianism, or total control over your personal life. Those who are pushing these ideologies – under the banner of “Democratic Socialists of America” today – aim to control everything you can own or e

The propaganda in favor of socialism is a line so fashionable these days that it causes youth to tell pollsters they're in favor of socialism. So, what is the best way to cut through that propaganda? The answer is simply to reply, loud and clear: “Socialism is Slavery!” I don’t hear this often enough, even though many thinking people have made the point. The economist Thomas Sowell made the comparison many years ago, noting that slaves are always kept in a state of dependenc

Well, I’m back. My posts going forward will be shorter, and more directly related to the theme of how propaganda serves the weaponization of loneliness. I’ll try to post once a week, usually on Fridays. Below is one example of how the authorities and media kept trying to induce the fear of ridicule in anyone who questioned the Covid narrative. It’s a cringy video of some very smug doctors insisting they should have a monopoly on what you could learn about Covid. It ran on J

In 1944, CS Lewis warned the graduating class at Kings College, University of London about the human desire to be part of an “inner circle,” an elite, an exclusive group of those “in the know.” His lecture, titled “The Inner Ring” explained the dangers of becoming obsessed by the desire to gain social status through connection with perceived elites. This dynamic is absolutely central to understanding the weaponization of loneliness . C. S. Lewis The craving to be part of an
