When The Writing On The Wall Is This Large…

     …there’s no ambiguity about the connecting link:      This is only part of the pattern of Usurper-in-Chief Joe Biden’s first days in office. He also reversed all of President Trump’s executive orders on securing the border.      Never let anyone tell you the Democrats sincerely want the border controlled. They want that flood of …

Exploring Implications Spotted In More Timid Reports

First of all, what do I mean by more timid reports? Whatever we read today is subject to censorship and its authors to cancellation. So expect to find reports that only call out the tip of any iceberg. Add to them commentaries that are slightly facetious, sarcastic or satirical. The authors can claim “I intended …

Crisis!

     Help, Gentle Reader! I’m in a crisis. Yes, a new one. It’s not categorically new — I’ve been here before — but it’s unprecedentedly intense.      You see, I don’t know what to fear. The choices are too many. The fear-peddlers have overwhelmed my ability to apportion my fear energy. I’m starting to “thrash” …

The Reason For The Season

     Good morning, Gentle Reader. We’re all a bit tired here at Liberty’s Torch, as you’ve probably noticed. The news hasn’t helped, being repetitive and alarming by turns. For my part, recently I’ve preferred to attend more to personal matters than to bloviating here.      But this is the right time for exactly that! The …

New Things To Fear

     Thankfully, the COVID-19 fear porn has exhausted its bite. In consequence, we who ask only to be left alone are beginning to peer “behind the curtain.” What we’re seeing is both astonishing and terrifying.      Feel free to dismiss what follows as the ravings of a paranoid septuagenarian. I’m tempted to dismiss them myself …

Arms

     A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. – Amendment II      The above is the most fiercely argued – attacked and defended – statement that has ever been incorporated into any law. More objections …

The Normalization Of Fear

     Are you afraid?      You’re meant to be. Influential people in many high places have decreed that you shall be. And they’re putting a lot of effort into getting you there.      One of the most important enduring features of the American milieu – for virtually the whole of our history – has been …

Fear Alone Provides Insufficient Test Subjects

What Felix Rex implies is that the forced vax campaigns provided billionaires’ scientists billions of non-consenting human guinea pigs upon which to test potential life-extending technology. They must’ve anticipated that fear alone wouldn’t turn all of humanity into Howard Hughes type germaphobes, hence the gradual forced campaigns were already planned for when fear no longer …

The Proof Is Here

     This whole pandemic nonsense was planned:      The time to resist is now.

Running Scared Edition

     …or “running hard trying to scare you, Mr. and Mrs. America.”      These days, the principal ammunition of the Left is fear. They fire barrages of it at virtually everything in sight. We’re repeatedly and stridently told to fear: Racists; Pro-lifers; Fossil fuels; Sincere Christians; Large white families; White identity defenders; Guns (especially if …

Fences

     Why does anyone, anywhere and at any time, erect a fence?      I have one around my backyard. It’s to keep my dogs in: that is, to lessen my fear that my dogs will run away, possibly to their deaths.      When the patricians of other places erect fences, it’s usually to keep other …

The Instruments Of The Faith

     First, a few thematic quotes:      No power is strong enough if it labors under the weight of fear. – Cicero      Fear is an acid which is pumped into one’s atmosphere. It causes mental, moral and spiritual asphyxiation, and sometimes death; death to all energy and growth. – Horace Fletcher      Fear is …

Trump Haters So Deranged They Now Unwittingly Align With Him

There are many irons in the fire incentivizing citizens to relinquish their rights bit by bit. The following provides a simple observation over the effectiveness of one tactic: fear. I don’t know if any reader will gain any use from this odd insight, but I felt compelled to offer it anyway. Just maybe the uncomfortable …

The Fear Weapon

     Allow me to lead off with a snippet of an old essay by humorist P. J. O’Rourke:      Something is happening in America, not something dangerous but something all too safe. I see it in my lifelong friends. I am a child of the “baby boom,” a generation not known for its sane or …

Damn It All, I Was Just Getting Down To Work…

     …when this came along.      (Thank you, Adrienne.)      The whole article is worth your attention – your careful attention. Don’t accept it uncritically. Think about it, ask yourself (and others) why governments would want to depopulate their own jurisdictions, and whether the means proposed by Dr. Yeadon is a plausible method. Ask also …

Stop Them NOW!

     “When man believed that happiness was dependent upon God, he killed for religious reasons. When he believed that happiness was dependent upon the form of government, he killed for political reasons….After dreams that were too long, true nightmares…we arrived at the present period of history. Man woke up, discovered that which we always knew, …

The Experts, The Politicians, And The Wuhan Virus

     Karl Denninger has produced a compendium of “expert” errors and lies about the Chinese Coronavirus and its social and political outcroppings. It’s an exceptionally useful item that everyone should read. If you’ve harbored suspicions that the Kung Flu has little to do with public health and a lot more to do with the aspirations …

Tragedies

     Once again I’m up too early in the morning for…well…for anything, really. And I find myself bemused by the state we’ve lurched into, and unable to suggest anything but prayer.      I’m not knocking prayer. Prayer is highly beneficial. However, it has an indifferent track record at correcting the ills that beset us, when …
