Just to reassure you all that I personally weed out the spam, message by message, as frequently as I can. Having been flat out at the UK Column studio this week, I haven't been able to catch up on the job till today. As a couple of you have pointed out, it's a more efficient approach than using tech, and tech barriers to subscription also put off a lot of good people from joining, so I'm leery of them.

A couple of you, notably Jo, have given eloquent criticism of Dominionism, along the lines that it presents something other than the Gospel.

Dr Joe Boot, who moved to Canada as a young minister, presents in this podcast (skip the first few minutes of banter) the kernel of his book, The Mission of God, which makes the contention that the common law, case law-driven heritage that we have from Ancient Israel and from Alfred is the bedrock of liberty, and that history proves you can't resist evil anywhere or in any age without legislating Biblical norms.

Certainly, his knowledge of intrigue in the Cromwellian to Williamite era, his grasp that foreign indebtedness of the Crown is a new evil that the Stuarts never introduced, and his understanding of the Round Table subversion of the Dominion of Canada are not at the level of many of our subscribers, but he has made a thorough study and his arguments are worth bearing out.

Secular humanists have not yet come up with any safeguards for liberty or means of resisting evil. Their positivism ("we'll make this the law this week, and something else the law next week, based on society's tastes") is a god that failed.

Alex Krainer: "America is undergoing its Boris Yeltsin period of horrible rule at present. But it will have a renaissance and be a republic again."

(At circa 1hr15')

I agree with my namesake that Americans are both more interesting to talk to (largely because of their attentive reading habits) and more intellectually curious than Europeans. That has been my lifelong experience.

You dear people are the first to know that the reason I came over to Plymouth this week was to be appointed Commissioning Editor of the ukcolumn.org website. Article and podcast content is now my responsibility, in liaison with Brian, Mike and David, of course. We foresee a substantial expansion of both written and audio content on the site, in an increasingly rich range of subject areas.

After all, we aim to replace the quality press (Brian spotted in his village shop this today that the Daily Telegraph is so desperate to shift papers that it is offering big discounts) and the BBC (Brian remarked this evening, à propos of a brilliant musician whose work he played to me, that "he would never be allowed on the BBC because he might inspire some young person to do something marvellous").

Top-notch remembering from Scrump in this thread.

If you see anyone on this channel promising to regrow your gums, it's not me.

If you see anyone on this channel touting an audience with the Pope, Donald Trump or the man in the moon, it's not me either.

In my AV 9.1 talk, I outlined the Aristotelians and the Platonists as persuasions within the kakistocracy (David Scott calls them "our Wise Overlords"), and I remarked that these schools of pleb-exploitation were taking the names of their founders largely in vain.

Matt Ehret does a good job in this podcast of unfolding that with reference to the Straussians, the biggest, baddest neocons in the Anglo-American zone.

I know a few of you are wary of Matt's ideological commitments but bear in mind that he had a sudden conversion courtesy of the LaRouche movement. No-one else seems to bother winning young minds assiduously for the repudiation of kakistocracy.

(As Charles Haddon Spurgeon said to his brother ministers when they objected theologically to his partnership with Dwight L. Moody for evangelistic purposes, "Gentlemen, all I can say is, I prefer his way of doing things to your way of not doing them.")

Besides, Matt defends the French Canadian Catholic heritage and rightly points out that before it was concertedly squashed by the Rhodesians in the late Sixties, it was the most determined and largest Christian opposition to globalism anywhere in the white Commonwealth. Canadian Protestants—formerly a glorious crew—were asleep at the wheel.

TL;DR — Matt invites us to "touch the electric fence of the mind", thereby breaking through Orwell's "protective stupidity".

I find Willem an exceptionally humane and wise man.

Towards the end, he says, "And live in love with your family, even if you disagree with them. Your ability to do that is your assurance that you can have a public role."

Several of you have been asking me about the Dutch entry on the EU’s Have Your Say rubric regarding QR codes, currency abolition, etc.

I’ll be crunching through this properly and reporting my findings on Wednesday’s UK Column News.
