The Impossibility of Democracy, Part III: The Religion of Propaganda
“Black History Month, which used to be known as February…”
Sam Francis’ witticism has been repeated ad infinitum, by friend and foe alike, usually with little appreciation of the broader implications, which extend far beyond the politics of race. The politics of race, let us never forget, is merely one comparatively small part of the Revolution against Western civilization and human nature.
Wednesday’s Child: The Paradox of Interest
I have often wondered about the principle of disclosure, which is so easily taken to interesting lengths. Of course like others I can applaud when a journalist doing a story on some Fortune500 company is criticized for not revealing that the CEO is his brother-in-law, or when a juror is prosecuted for concealing an intimate connection with the man on trial. But beyond that?
The Impossibility of Democracy, Part II: The Fourth Estate
Most Americans are convinced that they live in a democracy. Who can blame them? They have been told nothing else throughout their lives.

Think again, one prominent libertarian-leaning conservative called to find out if it was true. Obviously, he was sounding me out for a cabinet appointment. A few years later, I printed a piece, which I explicitly attributed to a dream, in which I was being dragged to the Hague to be put on trial for complicity in Slobodan Milosevic’s genocidal policies in Kosovo. Again, who would believe it?...
Western Silents
America’s movie industry committed to the western almost immediately, what with the sensational success of The Great Train Robbery (1903). Feature-length westerns came about a decade later, thanks to the nascent star system
Free Speech Will Thrive
With the ongoing repression by the Democratic Party-Silicon Valley-Mainstream Media Axis, some of my friends are worried America will become a tyranny, with no free speech. We could have some rough times, but in the end freedom will prevail.
Impeaching the Cadaver
If Donald Trump is doomed to endure a second ordeal of impeachment proceedings, what are we to expect?
Podcast The Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father….
Part two in the podcast series in which Dr. Fleming, with Rex Scott and Jim Easton, grapple with the literal meaning of every word in the prayer we are given as the model by Jesus Christ.
