History – Our Master Teacher

It is very difficult to find any redeeming value in these trying times. Dishonour rules the day. We have acted like cowards in the face of a nefarious agenda pushed by unelected elites for two generations now. Our inaction condemns future generations to violent reaction to an increasingly authoritarian-totalitarian global regime taking shape more aggressively with each passing day. Representative Democracy is used as a platform towards a dystopian future, where the people will have no rights. History teaches us that things can always get worse. We used to think absolute monarchs were bad. We had no idea that an oligarchic plutocratic elite was going to be much much worse. Caveat emptor!

On Splendid Isolation

Sometimes it pays not to open your legs for the first newcomer. Modesty and purity are ideals that hold a greater value both for the individual as well as on a macro scale.

Live and let live?

It’s a dog eat dog out there. The Romans knew that. The Barbarians did too. Somehow, somewhere, some people decided that “live and let live” is preferable to “survive and prosper”. Not sure everybody else on Earth got that memo. But hey, I am Devil’s advocate! What do I know?

The Politics of Division

The Powers that Be are trying to divide us. They mean to control us by using our differences against us. Do not let anyone dictate how you see the world. Experience life empirically and you will understand it better than They can explain it to you.

The ecstasy of culling the herd – How Hashish is good and Guns are bad

Drugs are good. Guns are bad. Unless they are government guns. Those are good. Life is Manichean. Things can be both good and evil. Banning something is never good. It ignores this simple fact of life to our own peril.

The Power of Martyrdom

What would you fight and die for? Where is your line in the sand? Like ancient Christian martyrs, each of us is endowed with Free Will. But unlike them we are Afraid to use our faculties and stand for something. History often teaches us a Lesson. It speaks volumes . But we seldom listen. Perhaps we need to start listening...
