Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

Frozen Water Pipes. Icy Roads. Disabled Cars. Cold Houses. Empty Cupboards. Despondent People.

“100 million under Wind Chill alerts as arctic blast reloads for second round,” says Fox News. Numerous utilities warn of brownouts because they cannot keep up. They cannot keep up because they haven’t planned for maintenance or this much cold. People are desperate because they too did not plan for this much cold. They were relying completely on compromised, incompetent, irresponsible, politicized government agencies.

This kind of blind dependence has made Westerners reverential toward the wrong authority. Westerners have become subservient to the wrong God. The state is not God. The God of Creation, with all his weather events and weather decrees, is mightier than any human bureaucracy or fragile electrical sub-station.

Today Americans have finally realized just how far their central planners have let them down. Citizens cannot depend on anything the government has touched. Their lives cannot depend on anything the government has devised. The nation’s food is unhealthy, the ...

Why We Need Sunlight. And Incandescent Bulbs.

Over the years, I have become convinced sunlight is one of the most essential nutrients for the body. Unfortunately, since no one has a financial interest in promoting sunlight (and it hence has no lobbyists), almost everything we hear instead focuses on why it’s terrible for us. For example, dermatology transformed itself from one of the least desirable specialties in medicine into one of the highest paying ones by rebranding its members as cancer fighters, which required scaring everyone senseless about the sun (while omitting that a lack of sunlight is what causes fatal skin cancers). Despite the billions now spent each year on skin cancer, the total death rate from it remains almost entirely unchanged (all of which is discussed here).

A similar story has played out with the light inside our homes. In 2022, the federal government effectively banned the incandescent bulb on the grounds most of its output is “wasted” as infrared, even though a rapidly growing body of research ...

Has Another French Reign of Terror Begun?

Rod Dreher asks, "I don’t understand why the government doesn’t deploy the army and shoot rioters until they stop. Philippe Lemoine, a Frenchman, says it’s not that simple."
Excerpt:

"We have let things rot for so long that, at this point, relying primarily on force to restore order would require a degree of violence far greater than what people realize and what is politically feasible.

It's possible to contain a riot using only moderate force when the number of police officers is high relative to the number of rioters, but when riots are so widespread and involve so many people because you have allowed this kind of things to happen for so long, that's just not possible and you have to use extreme violence to make up for the lack of manpower.

I know people on the Internet will say that it doesn't matter and that we should just do it, but the reality is that most of the people in charge are not prepared to use that kind of force and neither would most ordinary people if they saw ...
