“Gloom, Despair, and Agony.” Gloom, despair, and agony on me Deep dark depression, excessive misery If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all Gloom, despair, and agony on me Some people are just not happy unless they’re unhappy. This mindset will never change. Let’s say that every alarmist claim you read…
Tribalism is the downfall of the west
March 31, 2016
I’m old enough to remember a period during which Americans weren’t belligerent idiots. The cause of our decline is tribalism. Western tribalism is a sort of junk-food version, dumber and more superficial than what you find in so-called backward regions of the world. The blindness of tribalism I knew this was phony the second I…
Weapon descriptions for Colonel Richard Kemp
March 29, 2016

Belgium as microcosm of western decay
March 24, 2016
The worst thing that ever happened to western culture was World War I. It drove Europeans insane forever, and it made Americans think that we have all the answers. Belgium is now a perfect museum display of what ails the west. Will we survive? I don’t know. Belgium talks a good game But talk is…

March 23, 2016
If you follow the Yemen and Syria wars, you’re aware that a gigantic number of Syrian, Iranian, Hezbollah, Houthi, al-Qaeda, Islamic State, jihadist, and Russian commanders have been killed. It was a mystery to me, since all of these men were heavily guarded. Now we have a video that shows one weapon that Arab and…
