Jewish Agenda: For the Love of Jews (12/23/19 16:21)
|
Judeophilia, love of Jews, is a troublesome symptom of a dangerous malady, elites’ estrangement from its working classes, the malady presently in full bloom in France and England.

The New Normal: Delusions of Democracy (12/08/19 18:40)
|
In the days of yore, there were kings. Everybody could agree to hate the king because he was rich and well-fed, when most of his minions were not. Then, a more effective system was invented: democracy. Its originators had in mind a system whereby the populace could choose their leader from amongst themselves - thereby gaining a leader who understood them and represented them.

History Reclaimed: An Ukrainian Primer (12/08/19 18:29)
|
Five years ago, when Ukraine first came into the news, those Americans who thought Ukraine was an island in the Pacific can perhaps be forgiven.
