Anyone still not get that this is the world wide revolution those tyrant minded leftists have been working towards for a century? Links 1, June 28, 2026

A quick word about the film, Citizen Vigilante.

A LOT of reviews of the movie are all over the place. Viva Frei did a brutal take down of it.

In our opinion, people who review it as a movie entirely miss the point. It isn’t a movie, which I read that Elon Musk made the most popular movie in the world, which is a great film. it isn’t. If we wanna play Siskel and Ebert it’s two thumbs down.

The reason it’s great is that someone told the truth in pop culture. And that is the start of a counter-revolution in an era where you cannot see a commercial where a happy couple isn’t mixed race white and something else.

Where Islam is the repository of the world’s wisdom etc. etc.

It is that it informs us that the state has created and sides with the problem, and if there is any hope in solving it, that hope lies with the people. As is so often the case historically.

1. US attacks Iranian weapons platforms after Iran violates terms of cease fire.

We could go into a lot of detail about how Islam does war, and how it does peace as a tactical maneuver of war. This is a fact. If memory serves, when the US signed a pact with the Muslims in Tripoli after the ‘Barbary Pirate Wars’ (Sea jihadis or pirates) they made 2 copies for the US to sign, One, an English version and Two, an Arabic one that did not say exactly the same thing. This kind of duplicity goes all the way back to the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.

But I would like to offer a more geopolitical perspective. The Islamic one is critically important and we all have to hope and pray that Trump understands Islamic thought and strategy well enough to not be defeated by it, like pretty much everyone else has throughout history.

The approach I would like to take, is the Raison d’être of the US Navy.

People call America a colonial power. We don’t think so. The US a century ago made the strategic decision to have a powerful blue-water Navy for the purpose of keeping the oceans safe for trade. This allowed other nations, connected to the US or not, to become vastly more prosperous than they had been before. Remember, Chris Columbus actually tried to sail around the world just to avoid the Muslim pirates that had been making trade impossible with India and the Orient. Muslims had been taking cargo ships, the merchandise as the booty of jihad, and the sailors as slaves since the time of Mohammad.

I asked Grok for a summary of Thomas Jefferson’s interaction with the Muslim sea jihadis and this is it:

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with the Tripolitan (Tripoli’s) ambassador to Britain, Sidi Haji Abdrahaman in London in March 1786. 

This is the famous encounter during the early Barbary pirate crisis, when North African corsairs (from Tripoli and other Barbary states) were attacking and capturing American merchant ships, enslaving crews, and demanding tribute (protection money).

Jefferson was the U.S. Minister to France; Adams was the U.S. Minister to Britain.

They were trying to negotiate peace treaties and ransom captured American sailors/ships after attacks in 1785.
The Barbary states claimed a religious and legal right to raid non-Muslim (especially Christian) shipping in the Mediterranean.

How the Conversation Went

They met at the ambassador’s house in London. The discussion covered two main parts:

Peace treaty terms — The ambassador demanded very high payments (e.g., tens of thousands of guineas in cash upfront, plus his own commission) for even a temporary or “perpetual” peace. Adams and Jefferson found the demands far beyond what Congress had authorized.
The key question about “why” they were attacking American ships — Since the U.S. had done nothing to provoke Tripoli, Jefferson and Adams asked about the grounds (“pretensions”) for making war on nations that had done them no injury. They noted that Americans considered all mankind as friends unless provoked.

The ambassador’s reply (as recorded in their joint letter to U.S. Secretary of Foreign Affairs John Jay, dated March 28, 1786):

“The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the law of their great Prophet: that it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their Authority were sinners: that it was their right & duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, & to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners; & that every Musselman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
He added practical details:The first man to board an enemy vessel got an extra slave as incentive.
Their corsairs would approach a ship with each sailor holding a dagger in each hand and another in his mouth, which terrified crews into surrendering quickly.
He believed the Devil helped them, as they were almost always successful.

Jefferson and Adams found the demands excessive and told him they needed fresh instructions from Congress. No agreement was reached.

Aftermath and Significance

Jefferson reported the conversation (and the ambassador’s justification rooted in Islamic doctrine) to Congress. It reinforced his belief that paying tribute would only encourage more demands and attacks, rather than solving the problem long-term. This helped shape his later policy as President: building a navy and using military force (the First Barbary War, 1801–1805) instead of endless tribute.John Adams was somewhat more open to negotiating tribute at the time, but the meeting gave both men direct insight into the religious justification the Barbary states used.

Primary source: The March 28, 1786, letter from Adams and Jefferson to John Jay (available in the Adams Papers and Founders Online archives). The quote above is taken directly from it.This episode is one of the earliest direct American diplomatic encounters with the ideological/religious motivations behind Barbary piracy. Let me know if you’d like the full letter text, more context on the Barbary Wars, or related quotes!

For those interested in the Raison d’être of the Barbary Pirates, learn about the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.

The US decided that being able to keep the oceans open for world trade was the path to peace and prosperity for all. This turned out to be absolutely true. Once the oceans became safe for commerce, all nations that even had the potential for production continually got wealthier, generally healthier to a point, and had easier lives. Now and again pirates appear on the scene, but its small scale and dealt with rapidly. That is until modern times where leftists supranationals are using Islam as a battering ram against Western Civilization.

So one can see that the US cannot, will not and MUST NOT ever allow a nation like Iran to threaten world trade and doubly so, the world’s energy supply which is also being sold at way above market value due to monopolizing the supply via OPEC.

So whatever else people may think about this war, let’s be clear. The oceans must be safe for commercial traffic. And the US has footed the bill for this in blood and treasure for 250 years and to the benefit of the entire world, that participates in international trade.

2. The European Commission have shut off air conditioning for employees in their Brussels headquarters, while leaving the AC on for themselves

(A better example of communism I cannot think of. Well except there is no direct torture, forced confession and imprisonment for imputed crimes that are not really crimes anyway)

This toaster-themed building is the Berlaymont, and as the enormous gaudy banner on the front suggests, it is the headquarters of the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union. The Berlaymont is in Brussels, and Brussels is in Europe, where the weather has been unseasonably warm, with daytime temperatures rising well above 30C (or 90F).

Happily, the Berlaymont has air conditioning, unlike many hospitals and care homes in Europe. Unhappily, the Berlaymont air conditioning system seems not to work so well in the heat, and so the European Commission felt compelled to turn it off – but only for lowly employees of the Commission. Commissioners, including Ursula van der Leyen, continue to enjoy cool air in their own offices.

I would be willing to make a bet that the people who are high enough up the food chain to still have air conditioning in their offices, are likely never or nearly never actually in them in the summer. Or possibly ever.

3. An excellent example of how the left and Islam use political correctness to create no win scenarios for Western minded people. Especially the kindest and most dedicated for the common good amongst Western professionals.

4. If he is not fully correct about all societies, it’s very close. And certainly true for Western civ now.

5. I wonder how long till he is back on the streets with zero dollar bail. Or did that happen already?
