The old may not *all* be wise, ... more »

Lessons Learned
We don't know what the long term consequences of Britain's decision to leave the EU will be. But, Tom Walkom writes, there are already lessons to be learned: First, democracy and advanced capitalism aren’t always compatible. Britain’s voters were asked whether they wanted to stick with a globalized system designed to increase wealth in the aggregate. The majority looked at what they were getting out of the arrangement and said no. Second, nationalism is alive. There was a time, not so long ago, when the nation-state was viewed as passé. It is not. When Britain’s leavers said they ... more »
Governor Cuomo makes it possible for NYers to tie one on at Sunday-morning brunch
*As DNAinfo New York's Kathleen Culliton reports, "New Yorkers celebrated liberally on Twitter."* *by Ken* Believe it or not, here in the Empire State -- including your Big Apple -- it has heretofore been illegal to booze up your Sunday brunch if you're brunching before noon. Well, actually it still is, and apparently will continue to be so until, well, some unspecified date, presumably in the not-so-distant future. And it all comes courtesy of our one and only governor, Andrew Cuomo. In case you were wondering, *What the hell does that Andrew Cuomo do anyways?* *New York Gets Tw... more »

Andy's Final Thought
Sticking with the *Marr* programme, I was heartened that the news bulletin noted the anniversary of the Islamist slaughter of 38 tourists - including 30 British tourists - in the Tunisian resort of Sousse but, disturbingly, the bulletin avoided any mention of Islamism. It merely described the terrorist atrocity as being an event where "a lone gunman went on a rampage". Is the BBC retreating on reporting* that *story honestly too? ****** Andrew Marr then teamed up with Andrew Neil to deliver a striking joint 'op-ed' on the EU referendum (prior to the paper review). Neither said a... more »
Tragedy & Hope 3: Stalin, Hitler, Illuminism & the Occult Empire
*Hattippin, again, to Jay Dyer for providing the first hour of his excellent series freely.* Lecture 3 of my series on the entirety of Quigley’s *Tragedy and Hope *takes us into the period of the Bolshevik Revolution and the rise of Stalinism, as well as the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. In this talk, I cover Quigley’s thesis, as well as my own insights about the occult dimensions of these buildups (he leaves out), and the role of the Illuminists. Compared to Kerry Bolton’s essay, we can understand how Russia and Germany were both Imperial problems for the Atlanticists, and how both... more »
Brexit: some differences in ideas about the future steps are comical
At the Politics Stack Exchange, I gave answers to three questions about the future steps in the wake of the Brexit decision. Some other countries led by Czechia and Denmark have a high enough but not overwhelming probability to follow in the footsteps of the U.K. The EU politicians may want to speed up things in order to quickly restore the illusion that nothing wrong has happened in the EU under their watch. But they have no official prescriptions to speed up the processes in the U.K. or tools to rapidly expel the U.K. A well-known Czech public Sunday noon TV debate "Questions from... more »
