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.

What Happened to The Canadian Trucker Movement?

How in the world did a man like Carney win?

Ahnaf Ibn Qais has insightful reflections on Canada's energetic populism and the recent disappointing election results. One of the world's most dangerous and authoritarian globalists won.

"The rebellion was real. The grievances were raw.
But populism offered only noise, not structure.
It demolished consensus, but failed to build a replacement.
It is now clear: what populism mistook for revolt was merely ritual.
What it saw as revolution was therapy.
The populists screamed; the system listened — & then promptly resumed.
The populist moment left no monuments.
No institutions. No ideology. No personnel.
Only memes, martyrs, & market shocks.
Their legacy was not transformation, but catharsis.
Their language was one of negation.
Their tactic: disruption without direction.
When the emotion faded, the vacuum returned.
& into that vacuum stepped Carney.

He is not loved, but he is accepted.
Not visionary, but competent.
He does not promise a better world — only a smoother one.
His election marks not a triumph of ideas, but of institutional inertia.
He is the immune system made flesh — absorbing threats, neutralizing risk, restoring order.

No need to crush the populists. They exhausted themselves.
The system didn’t win. It simply waited.
Populism’s fatal flaw wasn’t rage — it was emptiness.
Behind the slogans were no structures.
Behind the heroes, no administrators.

Carney didn’t defeat populism — he outlasted it.
He is not the future. He is the end of a sentence.
He stands not atop a new epoch, but amidst the ash of a failed revolt.
No flags. No manifestos. No exit plan.
Just risk-managed politics for a demoralized population.
He is the undertaker. And the West, embalmed in its own regulations, politely lowers itself into the ground."

Picture a Tank Rolling Over a Chess Board

Many Republicans pride themselves on their chess-playing acumen. Dems write a tax increase bill, GOP players write one that doesn't increase taxes, and say, "We'll just checkmate these revolutionaries and WIN this one." Sometimes they do. But Since the Goldwater days, they've been whipped 90 percent of the time. So they study chess tactics harder.

In next three years, the Dems are rolling out an army of tanks. First mission: roll over every chess board and destroy them, leaving the elephants to wander around aimlessly, not knowing how to do politics.

How do we know this? Zoom calls over the last year. The Dems are done with chess.

Kunstler: "Democratic Party election ninja Marc Elias knocked himself out for two years registering new voters by the bale, as in manufacturing them. . . illegal aliens. . . homeless junkies. . . straight-up fictitious persons. . . in order to flood the zone with fake mail-in ballots, that is, in-your-face fraud. And the reason they did it was so ...

What Political Parties Used to Be

"No man is big enough to run this great Republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never intended. Tranquillity, stability, dependability—all are assured in party sponsorship. and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war.”

Warren Harding, July 1920.

Angry Blue Voters or Something Else?

Could it be the architecture of a color revolution being erected? Who are the more serious political activists in the US? Do they just want votes, or something more?
