I normally do not comment on current events, because in the long run, they seldom matter. What is important is the long term direction, which can only be seen by looking backwards, usually a very long way backwards. But, today, a crisis point comes that will make a great difference. If Pence carries out his …

I am back
If you have problems viewing this site or commenting, clear your browser caches (except for passwords and such) Some browsers cached messed up data during the transition.

This blog is going down
This blog, and the associated email addresses are going away until it becomes apparent which way the wind blows. I am going to sell the domain name. When it becomes apparent which way the wind blows, a similar blog, with all the original content and comments, will re-open on a less valuable domain name in …
Normality bias
In the year fifty eight years before Christ in Rome it became obvious that elections were rigged. Courts and due process had ended in the sense that some political violence went unpunished, and attempting to defend oneself against political violence was the gravest of crimes, in the sense that political disagreement was a crime, as …
Time to cross the Rubicon
It becomes apparent that no court, including the supposedly conservative majority supreme court, is willing to look at the decisive and overwhelming evidence that the election was stolen. Trump is going to have to proclaim the Insurrection Act under article four of the constitution, for which he is going to need a general, perhaps General …
The fall of the Republic
Today in America it is the year in Rome fifty eight years before Christ. We are here. The mob is on the streets, which the courts decline to put down, courts and legal processes of the Republic politicized and defunct, carrying out political vengeance and refusing to enforce law, elections blatantly fraudulent and discredited. Caesar …
Where we are, and where we are going
This blog has never been in the business of covering today’s news, but rather of covering the long sweep of history, and putting today’s news in the long sweep of history. And today’s news amounts to the fact that we are not going to get a good look at the ballots printed at midnight after …
The Republic died at 2020-11-04T04-05
It is a new world now, new rules. The Democrats have been committing electoral fraud for years, but now it is grand scale, out in the open, and for the highest stakes of all. If they win, Trump and his family dies. If Trump wins, they go to jail. If the state agencies of violence …
As I predicted, Trump wins, Democrats steal
Trump has correctly announced he has won, and the Democrats are stealing it. Currently on you tube. Make a copy, because likely to disappear. Trump: “We won’t stand for it” “We Did Win This Election,” “This Is A Major Fraud On Our Nation” Trump’s victory was well beyond the margin of fraud, but as I …
The Trump landslide
Tonight, the map will be red. Which the press, to the extent they cover it at all, will denounce as “The red mirage”. Much as Biden’s laptop was Russian disinfo. What happens then? The Democrats have long known there would be a Trump landslide. Their plan was to stall for time, and then run a …
