  • Invictus

    Mind's Eye (Ramona Leone) - Sep 17th 2024 11:39pm EDT

    Out of the night that covers me,       Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be       For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance       I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance       My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and […]

    Mind's Eye (Ramona Leone) - Sep 17th 2024 12:00am EDT

    Pepe Escobar The first meeting of security experts/National Security Advisors under the expanded BRICS+ format at the Konstantinovsky Palace in St. Petersburg unveiled quite a few nuggets.

  • Brutal Propaganda

    Mind's Eye (Ramona Leone) - Sep 16th 2024 10:27pm EDT

    Douglas Mercer THE ART HOUSE crowd is thrilled — well, the effete pansies are not too happy that they have to sit on their keisters for three-plus hours but, à la Vincent van Gogh, does not one have to suffer for art?

  • The Eric July Grift

    Mind's Eye (Ramona Leone) - Sep 14th 2024 9:23pm EDT

    I first encountered Eric July almost a decade ago when he was arguing with alt right people on Facebook all day. He was an “anarcho capitalist” who spewed the regular libertarian talking points about state tyranny and the free market. This is why it was surprising to me when he recently popped up on a […]

    Spacewalks are among the more dangerous activities associated with human spaceflight. Ignatiev/E+ via Getty Images Chris Impey, University of Arizona Space is an unnatural environment for humans.

  • Morality and Hierarchy in “The Breakfast Club”

    Mind's Eye (Ramona Leone) - Sep 4th 2024 9:43pm EDT

    I like the concept of the movie “The Breakfast Club”- individual students from different high school castes being forced to interact with each other and get to know each other. It’s something I even thought about in high school. To what extend do (artificial?) social boundaries prevent people from understanding each other’s true personalities? It’s […]

  • Computers and Melancholy

    Mind's Eye (Ramona Leone) - Sep 4th 2024 9:23pm EDT

    Some observations. A computer is a form of sensory deprivation(you are denied touch, taste, smell, temperature and rely entirely on images and sounds). A search for “Frustration” will return results primarily featuring a computer as its source. The vast majority of people are music addicted. A requirement for particular sounds for emotional regulation or more […]

    Mind's Eye (Ramona Leone) - Sep 4th 2024 9:15pm EDT

    Leftism starts with envy and covetousness. Covetousness is that someone wants to knock over the apple cart to grab some apples. Envy is he just want to knock over the apple cart because he does not have one. And, given that there are people who want to knock over the applecart, easier and safer to […]

    White Papers has no qualms about asserting that we want the Historic American nation, a White nation derived from European stock, to remain and be strengthened as the core demographic group in the United States.

  • Agartha: Exploring the Legends of a Hidden Subterranean World

    Mind's Eye (Ramona Leone) - Aug 31st 2024 12:31am EDT

    Robbie Mitchell For some reason, we’ve long been obsessed with the idea of lost cities and advanced hidden civilizations. A classic example of this is the ongoing hunt for Agartha, a legendary city supposedly hidden beneath the Earth’s surface. Often linked with the Hollow Earth theory, Agartha is described as a hidden realm inhabited by […]

  • Inventing Political Victory

    John Lawson “The cowards never started and the weak died along the way.” That quote is an oft-repeated mantra of Phil Knight, founder and chairman of Nike.
