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.

From the Friedensstimme magazine for supporters of evangelists in the former Soviet Union:

Mikhail and Ina Soloshenko, who married in 2020, fled the war on 12 March. Their shelled, burnt-out car was found days later and they were buried on 22 March. The body of their son Efraim has not been recovered.

Children sheltering in a Kharkov basement.

Nikolai Bondarenko (69), a well-known preacher around the Kharkov area, died of blood loss from a grenade fragment as he left his family in the basement to see whether the street was clear.
