Trump’s raid to capture Nicolas Maduro was well-executed. While the situation remains open-ended, Trump has made it clear that he is following Hegseth’s vow to avoid mission creep and open-ended commitments. And it advanced American interests. It’s about the oil. And it was a refreshing break from the farce of international law.
Shortly after the Venezuela raid, the administration and MAGA resumed their saber-rattling about Greenland. I assumed this was simply due to a temporary surge in jingoism which would fizzle. But it has only intensified.
Like Stephen Miller, I don’t care about international law. But I do care about rationally pursuing American interests. And unlike Venezuela, aggression towards Greenland is not in our interests. (more…)

1. Chain Reactions & Control Rods
If the elites who rule us were truly far-sighted, they would have strangled the Internet in its crib. Their control was never greater than when there were only three major television networks and all newspapers followed the Associated Press.
The old media were one-way conduits delivering standardized messages to isolated individuals. (more…)

Carl Schmitt wrote that “the exception in jurisprudence is analogous to the miracle in theology.” Someone makes a decision, and then usually hands down a new order like a prophet declaring a new religion. In America, this phenomenon is taken to an extreme with the Constitution being revered as a holy document. (more…)

And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and some of the many righteous as the stars for ever and ever.

Making Gains

It ought to be mighty difficult to make a bad production — be it documentary, fictionalized, semi-fictionalized — out of the career of master spy Kim Philby. Yet, somehow the makers of the six-part mini-series A Spy Among Friends have succeeded in that grim task. (First broadcast a year ago in England on ITVX; in America it’s streaming on MGM+.) This is not from lack of talent or production values. Rather, the problem appears to be poor knowledge of the subject and lack of respect for the available material, most notably the wonderful Ben Macintyre book of the same title, which inspired the TV series but did not inform it to any great extent — alas!

Today’s dominant ruling order, stretching over most of the world, can only be rejected in its entirety. This is only possible, though, with a lucid insight into how it gained the awesome power it wields today. Such an endeavor should begin with a clarification of how the globally entrenched power in question, and its accompanying ideological ethos, came to such a prominent position in the last century.

And all of us are standing on the brink of a great historical cataclysm, a flood that swallows up civilization and changes whole epochs.

Homosexuality not conducive to creativity
Norman rejected the faddish view that homosexuality is associated with the creative individual. He regarded homosexuality as “destructive” to the creative impulse, which is based on unisexuality. He stated that the male homosexual is dominated by a split of either all-male or all-female:
