I recently watched a documentary called 'V for Vendetta' about a tyrannical government ultimately overthrown by its own people and I think it should be shown in all of our schools.

Are socialists smarter than a fifth grader?
Self-described socialists went up against kids, and the adults spend most of this clip learning what they signed up for.
Stay for the last question.

In 1987, Lula explained how to implant socialism in Brazil:
"It will be an arduous job of 30 to 50 years, even with a revolution, because we must prepare the consciousness of the Brazilian people."
That is Gramsci almost word for word: first the consciousness, then the power.
Lula – The Gramsci of Latin America.
Latin America is a bit behind Europe, but it follows the same script. Lula is in fact their Gramsci, or their Dutschke.
In Europe, the turn came in 1968. The revolution had failed in the streets, so the generation of '68 took Gramsci's advice and Dutschke's slogan: don't storm the palace – march through the institutions.
Latin America had its own street revolution: Che's guerrillas. They failed too. Then the Berlin Wall fell, and the left lost both its model and its money.
So in 1990, Lula, the leader of the Workers' Party, who had just lost the presidential election, called the left of the whole continent to a hotel in São Paulo. He and Fidel Castro had agreed that his party would host the meeting. The São Paulo Forum was born: communist parties, socialist parties and guerrilla movements, all at one table.
This summer, Lula himself explained why he created it: he thought the left of Latin America could be educated through elections. The road to power was not the rifle but organizing people and winning votes. And that it would take 20-30 years.
That is the long march: not the war of maneuver but the war of position. Gramsci, translated into Portuguese.
And it worked. Within fifteen years, parties from the Forum governed Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Uruguay, El Salvador – and Brazil itself. In Cuba, of course, the communists never left power since 1959.
Brazil even had the long march's schoolmaster. Paulo Freire, author of Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the book that turned teaching into raising revolutionary consciousness, ran São Paulo's schools for Lula's party from 1989.
And the march reached the courts. The Supreme Court annulled Lula's corruption convictions on procedural grounds, then sentenced his main rival, Jair Bolsonaro, to 27 years in prison.
In Europe, the long march was an idea. In Latin America, it has a founder, an address and a membership list. Dutschke gave Europe a slogan. Lula gave Latin America an organization.
But Latin America started the march twenty years after Europe – and it may be the first to walk out of it. Argentina, El Salvador, Bolivia and Chile already have. Brazil, for now, stays in line.

#SettledScience - A brilliant piece. Especially for experimental gene therapy guinea pigs.
Every time the science has been settled, somebody paid for the settlement, and the bill has a name on it.
1747: James Lind cures scurvy with lemons. The Navy keeps it settled as a disease of damp air for forty-eight years and loses more sailors to it than to the French.
1799: Bleeding is settled. George Washington is drained of nearly half his blood for a sore throat and is dead by evening.
1847: Childbed fever is settled as bad air. Ignaz Semmelweis washes his hands and the deaths on his ward fall from one mother in ten to one in a hundred. He is sacked, committed, and beaten to death in an asylum.
1915: Pellagra is settled as an infection. Joseph Goldberger proves it is the corn diet of the poor by injecting himself with sufferers' blood. The South keeps the corn, and 100,000 Americans die of it.
1941: The lobotomy is settled, and about to win a Nobel. Rosemary Kennedy, twenty-three, is left unable to walk or speak, one of 40,000 Americans put under the pick.
1956: The pregnancy X-ray is settled as harmless. Alice Stewart shows one scan doubles a child's chance of cancer. She loses her funding and the scans run for another quarter century.
1961: Thalidomide is settled as safe for morning sickness. Ten thousand babies.
1971: DES is settled as a pregnancy protector. The daughters of the women who took it develop a cancer nobody has seen before.
1972: Sugar is settled as harmless. John Yudkin writes that it is not, and the fat men and the sugar men end his career between them.
1984: Fat is settled as the killer, and a generation of mothers swaps the butter for a tub of oil.
2004: Vioxx is settled as a safe painkiller. Up to 140,000 heart attacks before it is pulled.
The science was settled every single time. The only thing it ever settled was who took the blame afterwards.

Labour voters. Cut out the middleman by way of arguing about the anti-human, economically suicidal nonsense you support, and just get in the sea.
Am thinking of going to this holiday location commonly referred to as ‘paedo island’.
1: comes highly recommended by billionaires and Hollywood types;
2: seems completely consequence-free.
In 1961, eight central banks agreed to suppress the gold price, and markets spent seven years proving that governments cannot repeal scarcity.
The London Gold Pool launched in 1961, assembling the United States, Britain, West Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland into a coordinated intervention scheme. The goal was simple: keep gold trading at $35 per ounce, the price fixed by Bretton Woods since 1944. The mechanism was also simple: When private demand pushed gold above $35, the Pool sold from member reserves into the London market to crush the price back down.
This worked while the dollar retained credibility and stopped working when it didn't.
The United States ran growing budget deficits through the 1960s, financing both the Great Society and Vietnam simultaneously. Dollars flooded Europe. Foreign governments and private traders converted those dollars into gold at $35, understanding that the dollar supply was expanding faster than Fort Knox's gold supply. France, under de Gaulle, became particularly aggressive about redemptions, shipping dollars back to Washington and demanding bullion in return. He called dollar hegemony an "exorbitant privilege," and he was correct.
By 1967, the Pool was hemorrhaging reserves. The British pound devalued in November, triggering a speculative panic. In March 1968 alone, speculators demanded 1,000 tonnes of gold. The Pool collapsed on March 17, 1968. Members suspended operations over a frantic weekend and introduced a two-tier system: official transactions at $35, private markets free to find their own level.
You know where this ends. Nixon closed the gold window entirely on August 15, 1971, defaulting on America's international obligations and unleashing the inflationary decade that followed. The London Gold Pool was seven years of governments lying about how much money they had printed, enforced by selling other people's gold until the vault ran dry.

We live in a completely fake world.
And that's why everything feels chaotic. Why everything around us is burning.
Let's start with one number.
In 1972, 7 out of 10 Americans trusted the mainstream media. In 2025, only 28% did. The lowest Gallup has ever measured in half a century.
Nearly 7 out of 10 Americans no longer believe what they're told on TV.
Have you ever asked yourself why?
Not "because people became conspiracy theorists." Not "because of social media." The real reason is that people feel an increasingly violent gap between what they're told and what they see with their own eyes. And that gap is not an accident. It's the product of a war between two camps.
On one side, those who want to preserve reality: nations, cultures, borders, heritage.
On the other, the globalist camp.
And you need to understand its project in full.
First, a world without borders. Not just physical borders. All borders. Between nations, between cultures, between what belongs to you and what belongs to everyone. And at the end of the chain, between true and false.
Second, the hybridization of every culture. They sell it to you as openness, richness, diversity. But a culture is precisely a border. A language, a memory, customs, a way of life that isn't your neighbor's. When you blend everything together, you don't get a super-culture. You get the absence of culture. A consumable, interchangeable mush with no roots.
And look closely at which culture you're asked to "deconstruct." Never anyone else's. Always Western culture. Its history, its religion, its family, its heroes. The end goal of the project isn't blending. It's the erasure of the West as a civilization.
Now, the point almost nobody understands.
Most of the leaders carrying this project never thought it up. They designed nothing. They are products. They went through the same schools, the same universities, the same think tanks, the same newsrooms, the same dinners. The system trained them, selected them, promoted them. They recite a script they mistake for their own thinking.
You don't need a conspiracy when everyone was cast from the same mold. They're puppets, but sincere puppets. That's exactly what makes them dangerous.
And that mold has a history. It has an intellectual architect: Antonio Gramsci.
Gramsci, an Italian Marxist, writes in the 1930s from Mussolini's prisons. He makes an observation: in the West, the workers' revolution failed. Why? Because here, power doesn't rest only on the state and the police. It rests on culture. On schools, universities, the press, the Church, the arts. What he calls cultural hegemony.
His conclusion: you don't take the West by frontal assault. You take it through a war of position. You conquer minds, language and institutions first. Political power then falls on its own.
In the late 60s, German activist Rudi Dutschke summed up the strategy in one phrase: the long march through the institutions.
Fifty years later, look at the universities. Look at the major newsrooms. Look at the NGOs, the international agencies, the HR departments, Hollywood. The march is over. The institutions have been captured.
And that's when you understand why the world feels fake. When the institutions that are supposed to tell you the truth become the instruments of a project, they no longer describe reality. They prescribe it.
Then, in the middle of this system, one man stood up against it.
Elon Musk.
He understood before anyone else that the heart of the machine is control of information. So he did the one thing that could truly crack it: he bought Twitter for $44 billion. He opened the Twitter Files and showed the world how moderation worked from the inside. He gave millions of people their voice back.
And that's why he backed Trump. Not out of affection. Out of strategic clarity.
Because Trump isn't a program. Trump is an antibody. The immune response of a social body that someone tried to dissolve. When a civilization senses it's being erased, it produces antibodies. They're rough, imperfect, loud. But they're proof the organism is still alive.
Trump is the antibody to the empire of lies.
But here's the good news.
This project is doomed. Not just because we'll fight it. Because it carries the same flaw as every communist system, and it will end the same way.
This isn't the communism of collective farms. It's the communism of norms, cultures and identities. But the structure is identical: an elite that believes it can redesign society from the top down.
And Friedrich Hayek explained 80 years ago why that always fails.
Reason one: the knowledge problem. The knowledge that makes a society run isn't in anyone's head. It's scattered across millions of individuals, in millions of local situations. No planner, no committee, no elite can gather it. Markets work because prices aggregate that knowledge. The Plan fails because it claims to replace it.
Reason two, and this is where Hayek becomes prophetic: traditions, cultures and moral codes are knowledge too. Compressed knowledge. Centuries of trial and error, rules nobody invented but that survived because they worked. Hayek calls it the fatal conceit: believing that the reason of a handful of men can redesign what millennia have selected. Destroying a culture doesn't free people. It erases the memory that allowed them to live together.
Reason three: the dynamics of lying. When the Plan collides with reality, it can't admit its mistake. So it needs propaganda, to make people believe the Plan's goals are their own. And it needs coercion, for those who refuse to believe. In The Road to Serfdom, Hayek devotes an entire chapter to this: The End of Truth. And another with a crystal-clear title: Why the Worst Get on Top. In a system that has to lie to survive, the best liars rise.
That's the loop. Reality resists. You lie to hide the failure. The lie demands more control. Control produces more failure. Until collapse.
That's exactly what you're living through today. The world feels fake because it is. The chaos you see isn't the end of the world. It's the noise a system of lies makes when it crashes into reality.
The USSR lasted nearly 70 years. It collapsed all at once, without a war, because nobody believed Pravda anymore.
Today, nearly 7 out of 10 Americans no longer believe their media.
You see where I'm going with this.
Reality always wins. The only question is how long we're willing to live inside the lie before we look it in the face.
"War simply gives the state permission to accelerate what it does in peacetime, only faster and without public consent. When you hear the words "emergency powers," you know you are about to be robbed."

War is the health of the state, and every treasury minister in history has known it.
Governments that could never justify a peacetime income tax extracted one the moment artillery started firing. Britain imposed its first income tax in 1799, not through principled fiscal debate, but because William Pitt needed to fight Napoleon. The tax was supposed to expire at Waterloo. It came back in 1842 and never left. The people paid for one war and funded a permanent bureaucracy.
The pattern repeats with mechanical consistency. Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, and within two years the new institution was monetizing war debt on an industrial scale. The inflation tax is the craftiest version of this theft because you never receive a bill. The purchasing power simply drains from your savings while politicians point at commodity markets and shrug.
Weimar Germany printed to fund World War One reparations. The Continental Congress printed Continentals to fund the Revolution until "not worth a Continental" became a folk saying about government paper. Rome clipped coins for centuries of military expansion, debasing the denarius from nearly pure silver to a bronze coin with a silver wash.
Every episode follows the same logic. Direct taxes provoke visible resistance. Printing money diffuses the pain across every currency holder, spreading the theft thin enough that most victims never identify the thief. Inflation is taxation with superior public relations.
War simply gives the state permission to accelerate what it does in peacetime, only faster and without public consent. When you hear the words "emergency powers," you know you are about to be robbed.
