    (Part I, Part II, Part III) What is the best indicator of a civilization’s health? Some might say current account figures, GDP or the trade deficit; others might seek out travel advisories or National Security color charts for insight; still others might take a clue from pollution levels or quality-of-life ratings.

    As the Georgia-based Atlanta-Journal Constitution (AJC) reports: Two Georgia men targeted earlier this year by online activists for their associations with radical white extremism have been kicked out of the Army National Guard, following months of investigation. Many details in this story are unclear, because the military has put a lot of red tape up around the […]

    You probably have not heard of Heidi Beirich. But, chances are, she has heard of you. So, who is she? In 2016, Heidi Beirich was somewhat of a political commissar, drawing a comfortable annual salary of $150,000 (according to IRS filing, plus a further $21,000 in fringe benefits) from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

  • Actually, the “best decade” ended shortly after it began. But there is hope.

    Armed With Knowledge - Dec 27th 2019 4:40pm EST

    As the 2010s come to a close, Matt Ridley, a highly-regarded media pundit and businessman, felt inclined to pen an editorial for the news magazine Spectator boasting that this had been the "best decade in human history". He gives few explanations, which I have excerpted from the article and inserted in the bullet points below: "global inequality […]

  • Would Christ be condemned by Western mainstream politicians – and banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube?

    Armed With Knowledge - Dec 24th 2019 3:48pm EST

    It is something to think about. After all: Christ criticized prominent Jews, which is something that the U.S. government now equates with anti-Semitism. And Christ’s behavior in this regard goes against the user guidelines established by Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and other social media giants. Christ criticized the Jewish group community, and while most of the […]

    Just days after an investigation over football game attendees flashing the now-controversial ‘a-ok’ sign, the spotlight has shifted to a discussion over Santa’s hat. The drama began on the internet site Github after this small icon appeared in the interface in place of the usual one: More specifically, a developer replaced the ordinary gear icon in the interface […]

  • Brookings’ darling German journo-careerist puts the tard in libtarded

    Armed With Knowledge - Dec 10th 2019 6:02pm EST

    Modern Germans. They never cease to amaze me. For example, in spite all that has happened under the spell of Angela Merkel and her CDU political party, the Germans keep voting Merkel and the CDU back to power. Imagine being this excited to see that happen: Well, those Germans were. And it begs the question: how can […]

  • Lol: Facebook purges page about the Islamic revolution of 1979

    Armed With Knowledge - Dec 10th 2019 6:02pm EST

    We have already speculated that Facebook’s bid to maintain a global product would lead to a pervasive censorship regime, where the “greatest common denominator” of what is tolerated around the world would be the final product, resulting in only a tiny box of permitted speech. But here is an interesting twist: because Facebook opted to […]

  • Seriously, these are the women at our nation’s top think tanks?

    Armed With Knowledge - Dec 10th 2019 6:02pm EST

    AEI. CATO. Brookings. For as long as I can remember, these were highly-prestigious and credible places of research where the elite of the elite put their minds to work and produced policy papers that influenced America’s biggest decision-makers.
