“The verbal barbs between Japan and China have been a distraction; the real story is Japan’s deepening military integration with the Philippines. As the U.S. and its allies move to seal the Luzon Strait, Japan is shedding its pacifist skin to serve as the regional arsenal, providing the hardware and the boots on the ground necessary to turn the Front Door of the South China Sea into a strategic bottleneck. It is the tactical manifestation of a new cold war focused on maritime choke points and the kinetic kneecapping of China’s Belt and Road Initiative.” (05/04/26)

“George Wallace was sworn in as Governor of Alabama in 1963 and famously declared in his inauguration speech (written by a Ku Klux Klan leader) ‘segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.’ Two years later, Alabama state troopers violently broke up a nighttime voting rights march during which a police officer shot and killed young African American protester and Baptist deacon Jimmie Lee Jackson who was unarmed and protecting his mother. In response, civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King and John Lewis, organized a mass march from Selma to Montgomery over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in an attempt to deliver a civil rights and voting rights message to Gov. Wallace. It became known as ‘Bloody Sunday’ as state troopers gassed and beat the protestors, including fracturing Lewis’ skull and sending 57 others to the hospital.” [editor’s note: The delulu continues from these race-baiting “progressive” pundits – SAT] (05/04/26)

“Libertarians are not exclusively interested in libertarianism; rather, libertarianism functions as a living principle, a lens through which we examine social relations, institutions, and the boundaries of knowledge itself. It invites not only political analysis, but also a broader inquiry into how ideas are formed, challenged, and defended within society. In this sense, one of the grounding insights of libertarians and classical liberals concerns the nature and limits of knowledge and science, how we come to know what we know, and how institutions react when that knowledge is questioned. The case of Graham Hancock is particularly relevant here, as it illustrates both the potential gaps in scientific understanding and the often defensive attitudes of scientific establishments toward dissent.” (05/04/26)
