Trump and Xi Jinping (Official WH Photo by Daniel Torok)

Beneath the surface of everyday American life, the pork on supermarket shelves, the seeds planted across Midwestern fields, and the agrochemicals sprayed on crops from Texas to Iowa, lies a quietly assembled architecture of Chinese influence. Through corporate acquisition, land accumulation, data harvesting, and regulatory manipulation, the Chinese Communist Party has embedded itself within the systems that feed and power America. The scale of this penetration is vast, its implications alarming, and the oversight mechanisms designed to prevent it have proven, repeatedly, inadequate. (more…)

BRICS—named for the first five nations which entered the pact, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is a serious danger to America. The BRICS hazard comprises three separate threats. The first is an alternative banking and financial system which is opposed to the US dollar. The second consists of military threats which include aggressive Russian forces in Eastern Europe and the Arctic as well as Chinese military pressure in the Indo-Pacific. The BRICS bloc has already militarily cooperated. (more…)

One of the most fascinating documents I’ve read in recent months is the proudly-titled “Hearings before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives. Eighteenth Congress. First session on the Urgent Deficiency Appropriation Bill for 1947.”

The so-called Subcommittee on Deficiencies consisted of Chairman John Taber (New York), Clarence Cannon (Missouri), Francis Case (South Dakota), Albert J. Engel (Michigan), Frank B. Keefe (Wisconsin), John H. Kerr (North Carolina), George H. Mahon (Texas), Karl Stefan (Nebraska), and Richard B. Wigglesworth (Massachusetts), and it was tasked with the eternal job of governments everywhere: Finding out where the money went and how to get some more. (more…)

The subject of emergency preparedness is varied and complex. Actionable items will depend on what kind of disaster you’re preparing for and your individual circumstances. Maybe you live on a farm in Montana and want your large family to be ready in case you’re holed up during severe snowstorms. (more…)

Raw Egg Nationalist
The Eggs Benedict Option
Quakertown, Pa.: Antelope Hill Publishing, 2022

An anonymous Twitter character going by the name of Raw Egg Nationalist has released a new book which is outselling globalist literature on Amazon. Unlike his earlier work, this is not a cookbook and has nothing to do with historical bodybuilders. Rather it is an analysis of the dangers of the modern diet: how it got this way, the globalist plan to make it even worse, and what we can do about it. (more…)

Dokonce i mainstreamová média dnes začínají mluvit o tom, že inteligence, tak jak ji zachycují IQ testy, ve větší části světa upadá. Sám tuto vlastnost chápu jako částečně geneticky podmíněnou. Geny vaší inteligenci stanovují jakýsi strop: můžeme tak rozlišovat IQ potenciální a skutečné. Biologicky je podmíněno IQ potenciální, řekněme, že dosahuje výše 120. Při správné péči a výchově, tj. kvalitní stravě v dětství, dostatečnému cvičení a adekvátním množství mentálně podnětných aktivit dosáhne vaše IQ někdy kolem pětadvacátého roku – kdy je vývoj mozku dovršen – inteligence 120.

Richard Lyman Bushman
The American Farmer in the Eighteenth Century
New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University Press, 2018

Most of us who are not farmers are tempted to take farming for granted. We certainly see the results of farming in the produce sections of our supermarkets. Beyond that, we have pleasant images of industrious country folk in denim overalls just doin’ their thing amid amber waves of grain. (more…)

Even the mainstream media are acknowledging that intelligence, as measured by IQ, is declining in most of the world. My view of intelligence is that is partially genetically determined. Genes give you a ceiling for intelligence; you have a potential IQ and a real IQ. Your biology determines your potential IQ; let’s say it is 120. If you receive the proper nurture, i.e. good food in childhood, exercise, and cognitively stimulating activities, by the time you are 25 (the age the brain fully develops) or before, you will have an IQ of 120.

In this dark Kali Yuga, we can take comfort in that we have entered into a Golden Age of the documentary. The four documentaries below do a great deal to explain our modern circumstances, and are worth watching on their own merits.
