Civil wars do not develop overnight. It takes years, even decades, for revolutionary movements to grow, sapping the morale of the established order and concealing their ultimate goals until they reach enough strength. Then the pent-up political bubble bursts. And when that happens, events move very, very fast. Many people cannot process the unpleasantness and […]
Relocation: Beware the Too-Simple-to-be-True Lists
Safe Places Report #9: A hot topic in the news today is the flight of Americans to the countryside, away from the riots and coronavirus lockdowns in the big cities. That is a theme of these Safe Places reports, of course, so these articles always catch my attention. What amazes me is how overly simplified […]
Your Safe Place: How to Avoid or Minimize Tornado Risk
Safe Places Report No. 8: This is your second report on natural threats to your safety. In my Safe Places Report No. 7, we considered ways to minimize the risk of earthquakes in your new Safe Place.

Gallup Survey Shows Why Conservatives Shouldn’t Give Up Hope
One of the main purposes of propaganda is to discourage the opposition. Make them think that their cause is hopeless. In military terminology this is part of what’s known as “information warfare.” In the domestic political sphere this masquerades as “news.” The “news”—or fake news—onslaught has been constant this year. Every venue of the “mainstream” […]
The Real Purpose of Gov. Cuomo’s Covid-19 Travel Quarantines
Pandemic Report No. 13: New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo obviously loves the spotlight that the Covid-19 pandemic has given him, and he loves the powers he has assumed thanks to the virus—whether they are constitutional or not.

Socrates, Galileo, and Today’s Covid-19 Authorities
Pandemic Report No. 12: At every turn, we are admonished to accept the dictates of the Authorities regarding the Covid-19 epidemic—the officially designated public health authorities, the Wise Men like Bill Gates, the media babbleheads who scold us when we stray from their ideological nostrums, and the politicians who kowtow to all of the above. […]
Choosing the Right Climate for Your New Safe Place
Safe Places Report No. 6 In my last Safe Places Report, I introduced climate as one of the factors in determining where you will relocate: Now we are looking at your tolerance for cold weather or hot weather. Humidity or aridity. How much rain or snow? Low or high altitude? Four seasons, or an endless […]
The Second Wave of the Fear Campaign
Pandemic Report No. 11: We have been inundated, 24/7, with TV, print, and online warnings that the United States is entering a disastrous “second wave” of the Covid-19 pandemic. And the people responsible for this are those bad Americans who won’t listen to the experts and their shills in the media. You know, those know-nothings […]
The Liberal Invasion of Red-State America
The population movement from blue states to red states is well documented. For decades northern states—such as New York, New Jersey, and Illinois—have seen their middle class and affluent residents moving to Florida, Texas, and other states in the Sunbelt.
