The BBC is currently showing an interest in antisemitism. In the series called “A History of Hate” this episode tackles Pogroms. In the third part of his series on the mechanics of hate, Allan Little examines a wave of anti-Semitic violence that erupted a century ago. During the Russian civil war, after the revolution of 1917, tens of thousands of Jews were murdered in a series of horrific pogroms.

"The Next Stage Of The Engineered Global Economic Reset Has Arrived"
*"The Next Stage Of The Engineered * *Global Economic Reset Has Arrived"* by Brandon Smith "When discussing the fact that globalists often deliberately engineer economic crisis events, certain questions inevitably arise. The primary question being “Why would the elites ruin a system that is already working in their favor...?” The answer is in some ways complicated because there are multiple factors that motivate the globalists to do the things they do. However, before we get into explanations we have to understand that this kind of question is rooted in false assumptions, not logic.... more »

This U.S. Ally Almost Built Its Very Own Mach 3 'SR-71' Spyplane
*Michael Peck* *Security, * A really interesting story. *There will always be two questions associated with the Avro 730. First, how would it have compared with the SR-71? Since the 730 never flew, we can never be sure. But in terms of official specifications, the SR-71 would seem to have been a superior aircraft. The Blackbird could fly at eighty thousand feet and achieve a speed of Mach 3.3 (2,532 miles per hour). That’s not surprising: while Britain had been on the forefront of aviation technology before World War II, by the 1960s, America’s much vaster defense budgets and r... more »

Tulsi Gabbard Pushes No War Agenda – and the Media Is Out to Kill Her Chances
[image: undefined] Voters looking ahead to 2020 are being bombarded with soundbites from the twenty plus Democratic would-be candidates. That Joe Biden is apparently leading the pack according to opinion polls should come as no surprise as he stands for nothing apart from being the Establishment favorite who will tirelessly work to support the status quo. The most interesting candidate is undoubtedly Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who is a fourth term Congresswoman from Hawaii, where she was born and raised. She is also the real deal on national security, having been-there and done-i... more »

Chinese President Xi Jinping Is Facing The Perfect Storm
Image: Wikimedia *Dean Cheng, War On The Rocks*:* The Perfect Storm Confronting Xi Jinping* Entering 2018, Chinese President Xi Jinping appeared to be charting a very new path not only for China but for himself. With the 13th National People’s Congress, Xi effectively ended term limits, amending the constitution of the People’s Republic of China to ensure he could remain president indefinitely. Since there are not formal term limits on the position of general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the actual top position of power, nor on the attendant chairmanship of the ... more »
Canadian National Security: News on Mali and the Norman Affair
Canadian Parliament Buildings in Ottawa. Source: Wikimedia/Steven Dengler In 1957, Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in resolving the Suez Crisis. Pearson was the first to push for the idea of a large-scale peacekeeping mission, and Canadians have since celebrated Pearson as the father of peacekeeping. The world today is radically different than the one Pearson inhabited—but his exploits demonstrate that Canadians have long charted their own solutions to global security issues, even while working closely alongside the United States and... more »

Why the concentration of wealth is so big a concern
A lot of people don't seem to understand why the concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands is a major economic concern. I've heard several readers and/or commentators maintain that since a capitalist system "grows the pie", anyone can make more money by being inventive or creative, or working hard; therefore, since we're not dealing with a finite pie size, it doesn't matter if the rich become richer, because anyone else can, too. *That's a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation.* Regardless of the size of the economic pie at any moment in time, there are several pri... more »

Originalism in Political Science and Law
For the symposium on Ken Kersch, Conservatives and the Constitution (Cambridge University Press, 2019). In the 1980s the Reagan-era National Endowment for the Humanities, headed by Lynne Cheney, John Agresto, and William Bennett supported a number of conferences centered on the Constitution's bicentennial. One was held at the University of Dallas, then (and I think now) a conservative Catholic institution whose political science department (the conference sponsor) was an outpost of (I think) West Coast Straussianism. I was invited to participate as the token "liberal" to ensure the... more »
The Truth, According to William James
William JamesI see William James’s pragmatism as a form of skepticism—this is primarily because it holds that truth is something that has to be invented bit-by-bit by a number of inventors. The nature of the truths that we hold, according to pragmatism, is dependent on the caprice and knowledge of the inventors: one set of inventors may give rise to one kind of truths, while another set of inventors may create a wholly different set of truths. Henri Bergson offers a good insight into James’s view of truth in his essay, “On The Pragmatism of William James.” Here’s an excerpt: More p... more »
