Argentina’s flamboyant libertarian president Javier Milei was invited back to the World Economic Forum’s annual confab at Davos. Last year, the confident new president torched Davos and most of its attendees with a blistering and unapologetic condemnation of globalism, socialism, and woke ideology, an unprecedented affront to the global gathering that was met with equal parts dismay and ridicule among attendees and in the legacy media.
But since that time he did something no other world leader has done: He put his economic house in order in stunning fashion, getting Argentina out of the red and into the black for the first time in 123 years. The ruined Argentine economy was fixed by Milei in just a matter of months. From his speech last week:
“The great burden that is the common denominator among the countries and institutions that are failing is the mental virus of woke ideology,” Milei told his squirming audience. “This is the great epidemic of our time that must be cured. This is the cancer we need to get rid of. This ideology has colonized the world’s most important institutions.”
Characterizing wokeism as a “reversal of Western values,” Milei went on to pillory every one of its derivative ideologies, including radical feminism, “sinister radical environmentalism,” the “bloody, murderous abortion agenda” (which, Milei averred, was designed to be a tool for Malthusian population control), the homosexual agenda, transgender ideology (whose proponents he characterized as “pedophiles” for their advocacy of child genital mutilation), the “eternal victimhood narrative,” and the epidemic of mass immigration (which, Milei trenchantly observed, is motivated “not by national interest but by guilt”).
It’s a digital pacifier which offers users the ability to remain emotional infants their entire lives without ever needing to develop a mature relationship with uncomfortable feelings.
It’s the next level of services designed to help the denizens of dystopia avoid their feelings and sedate their emotions into a coma while the world [self-destructs].
Our rulers want us dumb, distracted, vapid and dissociated. And they definitely don’t want us feeling the horror, grief and rage we should all be experiencing in response to this nightmare of a civilization they have designed for us.

According to newly released state-level filings and national survey estimates, homeschool enrollment has now surged past its highest level on record, marking a dramatic acceleration of a trend that began during COVID and never slowed down. What once looked like a temporary shift has now become a generational realignment.
Reasons parents give? Government schooling is anti-academic, anti-Christian and anti-parent.
Nationally, estimates now place homeschool participation at roughly 5.7 to 6 million students.
With Covid shots, what we have is — picture a middle-aged woman in Orange County, California, who gets a Covid shot and then she gets myocarditis. So now she has to do regular appointments with the cardiologist. She’s in and out of the hospital, she’s sick all the time. So over the course of the next five to ten years of her life, her health care costs are going to be in the range of about $2 million. And that all goes to Pharma, doctors, and the pharmaceutical industrial complex.
If that same woman was enslaved in a gold mine in South America, you could only get about $20,000 worth of labor out of her — the most if you worked her to the bone. And then she would, you know, eventually, perish. The old model of colonialism, right? But in five to 10 years in the U.S. you can squeeze $2 million out of this one person through iatrogenic [caused by medical examination or treatment] injury, through a Covid shot that causes myocarditis that sends her in and out of the hospital for 10 ...
