When talking about the Stuart kings and the promise Prince Charles Edward Stuart held for Britain’s neighbors, there is a constant hazard of glorifying the world they came from. That is why it is vital to state that the true meaning of the Risings rested with the Highland clans. This is true perhaps not in their exact 1745 state. The clan way of life was already warped by feudal pressures and forced compromises with power.
The precise geopolitical tipping point for the human baseline occurred in December 1745, when the Highland clans reached the gates of Derby. The very presence of the Jacobite army plunged the City of London into a panic that nearly broke the Bank of England. The subsequent tragic retreat of the army cost far more than a dynastic crown for Prince Charles; it was the best thing that could have happened to London.… Read the rest
Since I first mentioned Mormonism on my bog, I have watched on YouTube the strategies of others who have quit the Church. I would like to talk about my impression of those strategies.
To be clear, I would not have chosen to talk about the Church on my blog if not for Kate Kelly. She appeared one day on YouTube selling her organization’s project to ordain women to the Mormon Church.… Read the rest
Goldziher begins by saying that there are two successive stages in the development of mankind: Nomadic and Agricultural.
“In the former commences the chain of development, which is closed by the formation of perfect true society. First are formed communities, which though still standing only on the base of the family, yet represent a broadening of this base insofar as the notion of the family is first enlarged into the institution of a tribe and then this institution cannot always refuse to take in foreign elements.”… Read the rest

As we continue to reveal the financial machinery of empires and their methods of control, the underlying anxiety of a looming collapse can make concentration difficult. Knowing how to prepare for collapse is the best way to reduce that anxiety. We start with the question of what a collapse might look like. This article will take a realistic look at our fragile grid, our just-in-time supply chain, and the question of how to organize an anxious, confused population.… Read the rest

Before we trace how the machine migrated from Great Britain to the United States it’s necessary to describe its early development in rural England and its later flowering into an empire. We will identify the Church as the powerful influence that wound all through this development, but with a qualification. There is no example in history of a ruling party that chose a different path—not in the Reformation, not in the contemporary Traditionalist or Conservative movements, and not in the alternate economic system of BRICS.… Read the rest

Every systemized empire in human history relies on a supreme, foundational illusion: that its power is cosmic, permanent, and absolute. To enforce this fiction, the modern corporate state surrounds us with bloodless, text-obsessed registries—central banks, real-estate title deeds, statutory codes, and the flashing sensory overload of media screens. We are conditioned to believe that human society is an artificial platform that can only be held together by a top-down manager holding a pen.… Read the rest
