I was going over the notes that I had taken for this current book that I am writing, and I found a quote from a conversation with a lady. I shall spare the details of what the focused conversation was about but she said something really interesting, “I learned who my husband was when he turned his parents in.” She was born in Albania, now in her early sixties and fortunate enough to have migrated to Australia during the 1990s. She divorced her husband once they both arrived in Australia. It was easier to remain married during the application process. They had lived through communism, a form...

Easter Time used to mean a lot to me. I was once a Christian. I would pray every day and I believed in a creator, the Lord. I felt pain when I imagined the journey of Christ as he carried the cross, just a man who was burdened with all of our sin. The son of God. The one who had been sent as a saviour, to teach us all and to inspire. I would imagine him stumbling in exhaustion, beaten, thirsty, in pain. The crowd watching, soldiers kicking him, officials indifferent to his religious importance, the wealthy and commoner screaming, yelling, tormenting him. As he fell, I imagined a beggar going...

The cancel culture mob is upset over a piece of media, this time it’s because a girl character in a television show based on a video game did something that they were OUTRAGED about. A fictional character was able to defeat a man in an unarmed struggle. Her being smaller, and a female versus him being bigger and man defied all mathematics and reason to them. It was apparently unrealistic. For me personally, as far as fight scenes go and the context for her “win”, it was done pretty well. There was no Marvel spinning, parkour and acrobatic excess which we have become used to when we see a...

In a recent debate on the Joe Rogan Experience, between Douglas Murray and Dave Smith, Murray accused libertarians as being the “bisexuals of politics.” An interesting claim, one that assumes politics is in itself is a binary. Or that those in the ‘liberty’ spectrum, which can range from all types of anarchists, agorists and whatever passes for libertarian these days, have more in common than not. The belief that Right and Left are constants and relate specifically to the Western, mostly American politics, is shallow. Regardless. During his tenure as a libertarian spokesperson, Penn Jillete...

“Don’t do it son,” big George Foreman said as he shielded his commentary partners, Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley from violent rioters. The conclusion of the first Andrew Golota vs Riddick Bowe fight had ended in controversy which led to brawls and a ringside riot. It was with a commanding presence earned from years as a prize fighter, the best in the world, two time champion and a man who overcame great odds that kept those nearby safe. By then a millionaire, comfortable and forty-seven years of age. He could have run, cowered but instead he stood firm and protected his friends and others...

It turns out that journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was ‘texted’ two-hours before the recent US attack on Yemen. Pete Hegseth, the US secretary of Defense texted him the war plan which included specific information about weapons to be used, targets and time of the strikes. Goldberg was included in a Signal group of high level US officials, which had the information of the coming attack. The highest level of the US government, the people who have the power over not only the millions of US citizens but a vast majority of the world exhibited a rather mundane incompetence The full article is available...

There was a time when Rebecca Black and her song, ‘Friday’ was a meme. It was popular for millions of people to tease, torment, stalk and threaten the life of a thirteen year old girl because of a music video, the digital mob was hungry for another child effigy to burn. The vitriolic obsession over Black was especially concentrated among, the screen names of 4chan who thought it would be funny to share online the school, house and class schedule of the teenage girl. Due to events out of her control she had become internet famous which meant she now belonged to the world. Many people love to...
