Robert E. Lee Monument to be Melted Down*Peter Suciu* *American History, * In February 2017, as part of the movement for the removal of Confederate monuments and memorials, the Charlottesville City Council voted three to two for its removal. The removal of Confederate monuments and memorials around the United States has continued. Many supporters of their removal argue that the vast majority were built during the era of Jim Crow laws, from 1877 to 1965, and claim that the statues serve to memorialize an unrecognized, treasonous government. The statue's opponents also lay claim that they were a symbol meant to intimida... read more

Thatcher’s False Slogan: “There is No Alternative”In the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher popularized the slogan: “There is no alternative” (TINA). She was not the first Western politician to promulgate her own worldview as the only possible way for all of mankind. For 500 years, the West has been veritably obsessed with brainwashing people in all parts of the world to make them believe that there is no alternative to the Western way. When Columbus, Cortés, Pizarro, and other European conquistadors and imperialists were rampaging in the Americas, they were telling the natives something similar to what Thatcher was telling the world in the... read more

Japan is Becoming a Military Powerhouse Again*Peter Suciu* *Japan, Asia* The "military" may be named "Japan Self-Defense Forces," but those forces rival the size and capabilities of Great Britain and France. Eighty years ago, the Empire of Japan had one of the world's most powerful navies, and its armies began a massive campaign against much of Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific. Its territory stretched across much of China, and its military seemed to be unstoppable – yet less than four years later, its cities were destroyed, and its army and navy vanquished.
