1. Pretty much all Western nations, and this includes the United States depending on where exactly, is at one or another stage of the following process. The disassembly of rule of law, and its replacement with a dialectically driven state. And by rule of law, I mean fundamentals. Like equality before the law. And while that was never fully achieved, it was to the extent that most people enjoyed the fruition of their efforts and a reasonable expectation of justice for wrongs committed against them, even by the state. That individuals had rights that would stand up in court, and mostly, (and many highly sleepy people and even lawyers still believe this one) “The truth is always an absolute defence”. I remember a lawyer I knew insisting that was still the case in 2023 after 3 years of people being persecuted and prosecuted for telling the truth about Covid, the vaccines or the origins of the virus.
By a dialectical state, I mean one driven by state created narratives, hammered down to the public via Maoist mass lines, each one of which was made for the same purpose. To convince people to sacrifice their individual rights and move political power upwards to an increasingly distant and unaccountable state. And increasingly, that the only real crime is opposing a state narrative. Especially with facts and evidence, and exponentially so from a position of recognized authority. Like a doctor, lawyer, politician, or influential social media person.
Initially, Cancel culture was used as the defacto punishment. Professional bodies like colleges of physicians were used to destroy someone who dared suggest the state narrative was inaccurate or dangerous to the public. People would be accused of being racist or some other term which made them untouchable in their social and professional circles. This did not need to be something that saw the inside of a court. Like Islamic accusations of blasphemy, the entire process takes place via mob mentality. The truth of the claim has the opposite of importance, and the procedure for determining guilt is the accusation alone. It would attach a smell to the person that others could not afford to have in their orbit. Racism being one of the prime examples, even when it is used ludicrously far from its proper meaning. Like Islamophobia for dislike or opposition to a voluntary belief system, or homophobia, being opposition to special status for people who prefer some sexual practices over others. (I’ll accept some latitude in the definition of the latter. There will be objections and some of them are valid)
Slowly this process worked its way up the chain from defacto to de Jure. Arguably, but I would easily accept correction on this, it became a matter of law and courts when people started to broadcast the obvious facts around the jihad attack of many young girls at a Taylor Swift dance party. The narrative was it was an English Choir boy, while in reality it was a Muslim jihadi with a room full of Islamic State propaganda. People who pointed out the actual nature of the crime fit jihad perfectly rather than the typical behaviour of a Catholic or CoE Choir boy, were arrested and jailed. Sometimes for over a year. And that looked like the shift from a cancel culture off-the-record enforcement of state narrative, to one where the organs of state began to enforce them officially.
Canada has passed the legislation to do this. However its enforcement is nascent. We saw a leading edge example of this when police visited Tanya Gaw over a social media post in British Columbia this spring.
Being as generous as I can to the state, the police somewhat apologetically explained that they had a complaint and so they had to investigate. Sounds reasonable on the surface. But if I make a complaint to the police that my neighbour is enjoying the sunshine in her back yard, there would be no investigation unless there is some law saying you cannot enjoy the sunshine in your back yard.
(Mind you as I typed that last bit I had to stop and struggle to find a ludicrous example, as every one I thought of is probably illegal in some way. Even that one if the back yard person isn’t dressed appropriately etc etc.)
Canada has passed several laws that make counter narrative opinions illegal and are planning more. Bill C4 that criminalizes parents, fines and potentially jails them, and removes their children if they try and suggest they should not be spayed and neutered in the name of “trans-affirming-Care” till they are old enough to buy cigarettes is such a large example most don’t believe it even if you show it to them in black and white. Several people have suggested Climate Denialism and mass Indian graves at residential school denialism should be a criminal offence. And already people are being defacto punished for it with the same above mentioned methods. Loss of professional standing etc. Being reviled by legacy enemy propaganda media and so on. Probably we can blame that on the criminalization of Holocaust denialism. All efforts to do that typically just create the Streisand effect but hand the state the power to determine what can be said. And that itself is a crime against humanity. People will believe what they want about historical events. Legislating what they have to believe wont change that, but will create tyranny.
And it is with this in mind that one should read this site and look at these events. We are not looking for rage bait. We think that is counter productive for reasons stated at the end of this post.
We are looking for data and a model which we can use to understand what is happening to us, and to stop it, and reverse it. And if not reverse it, move forward to a new truth-based individualist society with equal opportunity and inequality of result. Because at the end of the day, being the author of one’s own story is the greatest freedom man has ever known. And because what constitutes inequality of result rests more on the tool you use to measure it, than the actual value of the result. As free people, we value different things, and pursue different things. And to force all of humanity to value the same thing the same way is tyranny. Communism and Islam are perfect examples.
2. For those of you who like this site and feel it has something to offer you, please consider subscribing to Daniel Greenfield’s site. He has been a purveyor of insight and reason on Islam and the left for many a year. In this article he explains why the ‘Palestinian’ flag is being used to trash every Western country, beyond the totem value of a phoney cause to justify communist and Islamic revolution. Like trashing an art gallery cause Global Warming when the real purpose was trashing the art gallery.
Why do the rioters trashing Paris wave the ‘Palestinian’ flag? Because to them, France is Israel and they’re the ‘Palestinians’ out to destroy it and replace it with their own terrorist state.
The ‘white’ in the ‘Palestinian’ flag represents the Umayyad caliphate which had once invaded France, conquered Narbonne, and genocided its Christian population, until it was thrown back by indigenous Christian resistance at the Battle of Toulouse and the Battle of Tours.
The past Islamic conquest of France is just one of the symbols in the ‘Palestinian’ flag.
The ubiquitous presence of the ‘Palestinian’ flag at riots from New York City to Milan isn’t an expression of solidarity: it’s a statement of genocidal intent for every country where it’s flown. Its colors represent the historic Islamic caliphates which once ethnically cleansed the Middle East.
Every place in the world is just a few million Muslims away from becoming another Israel. And Israel is a symbol of what the mobs intend to do to Europe and every nation they invade.
[…] The ‘Palestinian’ flag symbolizes the ability of Muslims to move to any country and then take it over. That’s what makes it a better symbol for what they are doing than any national flag or any flag short of the traditional Islamic battle flag waved by end-stage ISIS and Al Qaeda militias.
3. Muslims mass-murdered Christians in a Church in Jordan. But Christians don’t worry about it they just have a thing about Israel. or the Jews. Or something.
If this was indeed a jihad attack, why would the jihadis strike at a funeral? Because the Christians were gathered together there:
“Kill them wherever you find them…” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 4:91, cf. 9:5)
But why not have compassion for the mourners? Because the whole idea is to terrify and terrorize the unbelievers: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
As well as Greenfield, Jihad Watch is a must read.
Chances are, if it wasn’t for Elon Musk and his purchase of Twitter, we would never actually have known about this event at all, or, maybe a CNN sanitized and dialectically altered version of the story where the attackers were generic, tribally motivated or somehow disconnected from Islamic Jihad.
This is graphic footage showing the wounded victims at the Church in Jordan.

4. Young Israel of West Hempstead reports attempted break-in, fire: Lakeview man charged
While many people will yawn at this story, it’s worth noting that one of the mechanisms of revolution is to normalize horror by mass repetition of events like this such that the public is no longer perturbed by them. In other words, the first time a Synagogue, or even the first few Jewish institutions are vandalized because they are Jewish, the public is shocked. But at this point now it doesn’t even make the news. Even the counter-narrative news barely bothers. This newly minted lack of interest itself is the story. People can get used to anything. Perhaps part of the information warfare taking place against the legacy populations of Western nations is to normalize horror through news. To report on child rape until it stops registering as a problem. Attacks on Jewish people for being Jewish, and very soon Christians, and then all non-Muslims and opponents of communism. The arrest of people for publishing truth about Islam on social media for example, also not making the news much anymore. Well, it never made legacy news of course. But even on sites like this, with 30 arrests a day (probably a lot more) in the UK of people just stating the truth about Islam, migration or any other data or opinions that challenge state narratives, no one really reports on it much as it fails to shock. In part, it is why reading The Gulag Archipelago is so difficult. It is painful to hear endless stories of the arrest of the innocent, their torture and interrogations and prison time for nothing endlessly with no relief. Eventually, it’s just background noise.
Perhaps it may be why sites like this are tolerated even to the extent they are. Because we unwittingly assist that process.
Information warfare is so sophisticated that trying to explain even some of the simpler tactics to people results in disbelief and dismissal. Reading even just the introduction to a book like, Disinformation by Natalie Grant will straighten that out within a couple of hours. But Disinformation, or active measures as a formal method of attack has become a lot more sophisticated since the fall of the Soviet Union when that book was written. It takes a lot of sober second thought to figure out what you hear, see and even say figures in to the gestalt of the revolution that is happening around us, and more and more openly. Knowing what is true, is now the province of experts. And that is a very bad thing.
The suffering of the victims though, is not lessened whatsoever by the indifference of the population to their suffering. And yes, it is impossible to maintain outrage, anger, frustration at what is being made to happen to our former official or unofficial republics by our ruling class, we cannot let it morph into indifference. Calm, calculated action, a clear head, and a running internal inventory of what is taking place, what we are losing and what it is being replaced with, is crucial if we hope to ever get back anything like a reality based free civilization.
There are a lot of dystopian future movies and books out there, but for this particular sentiment, Fahrenheit 451 maybe says it best. Each of us recognizing that the state has totalitarian power, knows we cannot physically preserve our past and our ideas. But we can each commit to memorizing one aspect of it and bring it forward into the future.
According to Fjordman, who’s essay on this is linked at the top of every page of this site, the enlightenment in Europe happened because when the Muslims ransacked Constantinople, all the priests, monks, clergy and intellectuals grabbed armfuls of books from the treasure chest of Greek and Roman knowledge from Byzantium, and escaped Westwards towards Rome. Muslims of course eventually managed to destroy most of Byzantium’s actual history and transformed the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. But the preservation and restoration of that knowledge is what brought Europe out of a period of intellectual darkness.
So yeah, we cannot sustain the outrage and anger at these events Muslims and Communists are perpetrating against us all. but we cannot lose purpose either.
From the above linked article:
A 29-year-old Lakeview man was arrested and charged with arson and criminal mischief after allegedly attempting to set a fire at Young Israel of West Hempstead and damaging a Nassau County Police Department auxiliary vehicle near Halls Pond Park, police said.
According to Nassau County Fifth Squad detectives, officers responded to a report of criminal mischief at Halls Pond Park, 831 Hempstead Ave., at approximately 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21. A witness reported seeing a man break the side mirror of an auxiliary police vehicle and called 911.
While officers searched for the suspect, another man stopped them and reported seeing someone starting a fire nearby, police said.
Officers responded to Young Israel of West Hempstead, at 630 Hempstead Ave., where they found Azzm Khan, 29, of Park Avenue in Lakeview, and a bush on fire.
Detectives said Khan had taken a lawn sign from the area, set it on fire and attempted to push it beneath the synagogue’s entrance door. He then allegedly placed the burning sign in a bush, causing it to catch fire, before returning to the entrance and repeatedly kicking the door, damaging it.
“Azzm Khan, a Lakeview man”. Ok then.
5. Probably one of the most common themes used on all counter-narrative sites, including this one for the first several years of its existence, was the device of asking people to imagine the same event but with reversed people in the same roles. It’s perfectly understandable why anyone would want to use that device. Demonstrating the grotesque difference between how the state treats the same event depending on who did it is an excellent tool for mining outrage. I don’t mean that cynically. It is a perfectly good reason to be outraged. But thinking it through, what may matter more is understanding that this outrage comes from the mistaken view that we still live in a system of law and order which at this point is vestigial. Like hip bones on a whale. They don’t do a lot of walking anymore but they still have hips.
Below what we see is not an example of two tier justice, but the replacement of the system of Rule of law with another one. One which is so consistent in its effects that to deny it is self hypnosis. Muslims and leftists may behave in certain ways that the legacy population could not even discuss or suggest on social media. This is perfectly consistent. That means there is a new system in place and not a corrupted one from the past.
Act accordingly one way or the other.
Thank you all for checking out this site.
Ben Bankas actually says it about as well as it can be said. In fact it’s been like this fora very long time. In the 80s it became obvious that the Canadian state loathed success and worshipped mediocrity. But its hit a whole new level now.
Islam has been attempting to conquer the world for close to 1500 years. The useful idiots of the left think they can use Islam to destroy the West and the use the western citizens to destroy Islam. We the people who know history need to continue to fight to stop both groups of barbarians from destroying what is left of our culture.
