Nietzsche in the Shadows

Traces of Nietzsche’s ideas are made manifest in intersectionality.

Much electronic ink has been spilled of late regarding the sources of the current radical movement sweeping the Western world. In countless popular articles and blogs, Karl Marx is often credited as the ancestral source of the current disorder, but there is another figure whose influence is at least as strong as that of the father of communism: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche. The latter’s influence on the philosophical thought of two of the key architects in the shaping of the contemporary mind, the French postmodernist gurus Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, was profound. The embrace and subsequent promulgation of deconstructionist ideas by university academics led to the widespread, if often indirect, dissemination of Nieztschean ideas among students as well as the general public.

Cops Harass Parents Who Let 6-Year-Old Daughter Take a Walk Outside, Arrest Dad

This fall, just as Keith Kaplan was finishing up his first term as a town councilman in the New York suburb of Teaneck, New Jersey, he proposed a Reasonable Childhood Independence bill. It states that when parents allow kids to perform age-old independent activities, like walking or playing outside, they are not committing negligence unless the kids are in obvious, serious, and likely danger.

For Kaplan, the bill is especially important. That’s because of an incident he witnessed involving his friends, their daughter, and the police.

Liberal feminist Naomi Wolf apologizes to conservatives, Republicans, and MAGA

Because of lies … in legacy media — lies which I and millions of others believed — half of our nation’s electorate was smeared and delegitimized, and I myself was misled. It damages our nation when legacy media put words in the mouths of … former Presidents, and call them traitors or criminals without evidence.  … The Democrats in leadership … have cherry-picked, hyped, spun, and … appear to have lied about aspects of January 6, turning a tragedy for the nation into a politicized talking point aimed at discrediting half of our electorate.

Liberal journalist, feminist, and Gore and Clinton campaign advisor Naomi Wolf after watching videos of the Capitol riot released by Tucker Carlson, March 10, 2023

Conflicting Reports Thicken Nord Stream Bombing Plot

None of the emerging narratives surrounding the Nord Stream pipeline bombing really contradicts Seymour Hersh’s central allegation that Biden authorized the operation.

IN THE MONTH since veteran journalist Seymour Hersh published his bombshell report alleging that President Joe Biden personally authorized a covert action to bomb the Nord Stream pipelines, we’ve seen a frenzy of speculation, detailed dissection of Hersh’s specific assertions, and the emergence of competing narratives both supporting and denouncing the report.

The question of whether Hersh’s story is accurate — either in whole or in part — is of monumental significance, and there are some issues related to this story that have not received as much attention as they deserve. Among these are questions surrounding the legal and constitutional framework the Biden administration would have used if, as Hersh’s source alleges, Biden directly ordered the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines. There is also an emerging counternarrative to Hersh’s reporting from U.S. intelligence that warrants scrutiny, both on its merits and for how it might relate to Hersh’s story.

Mexican cartels threaten America’s playground

Olivia Rose Withington can remember when kitesurfers in the Mexican village of La Ventana would struggle to find a taco or a beer after a day on the water.

The village on the eastern side of the Baja California peninsula was a well-kept secret, known to a relative handful of “wind chasers” attracted by perfect conditions for the sport. Now, after years of American tourists flocking south for a slice of the good life, La Ventana is a secret no more. Withington is among the locals worried that it risks attracting the attention of Mexico’s increasingly rampant cartels.

The shameful story of Britain’s backdoor blasphemy laws

Asad Shah

Asad Shah. The name doesn’t mean much to people in Britain today. But it really should. Shah was a Glasgow shopkeeper, beloved by his Shawlands community. The 40-year-old was also a bit of an amateur YouTuber. He uploaded hundreds of videos, forever perched behind his shop counter, in which he preached peace, love and unity. In one clip, he can be seen helping a six-year-old cut a birthday cake, along with the boy’s mother. Shah had known the boy, and his mother, since he was a baby. Even after the family moved away, celebrating the boy’s birthday in Shah’s shop was still an annual tradition. Shah was also an Ahmadi, belonging to a small Muslim sect deemed to be heretical by many Muslims, because Ahmadis believe that Muhammad isn’t the final prophet. Shah, in some of his videos, even suggested that he himself was a prophet. For making and publishing those videos, Asad Shah lost his life. In the most barbaric fashion imaginable.

No Timeline For President Xi To Approve A Foreign Agent Registry Says Mendicino

No foreign agent registry timeline as Australia warns of ‘unprecedented’ interference

The timeline for when Canada might have a long-awaited foreign agents registry up and running remains unclear as an MP from a top ally warns his country is seeing “unprecedented levels” of foreign interference by hostile actors, including China and Russia.

After announcing the launch of public consultations for the registry on Friday, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino did not say whether he will meet calls from security experts who say Canada could have the measure in place as soon as this summer when pressed by Eric Sorensen on The West Block Sunday.

Like his father, Justin Trudeau has an odd affection for murderous communist regimes

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The flight from Montreal to Washington is a short one, but the political distance between the namesakes of Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport and Ronald Reagan airport is long indeed.

This week, marking the 40th anniversary of Reagan’s “Evil Empire” speech, is a propitious time to revisit that difference, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flounders to explain why he appears so untroubled by the Chinese Communist regime’s support for his Liberal party.

Why everyone in Britain is talking about the Lockdown Files

There are many American Matt Hancocks. Thankfully your Founders saw them coming

If you happen to be having a bad day, spare a thought for someone called Matt Hancock, possibly the most hapless person on the planet.

A former British health minister, Mr. Hancock has become a national laughing stock across the Atlantic.

First, he got fired from his job presiding over the UK’s National Health Service for breaking his own Covid lockdown rules. Unlike Gavin Newsom or House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who did something similar, Hancock managed to get caught out in spectacular fashion. After helping issue edicts making it illegal for anyone in Britain to socialize with someone outside their family, Hancock was filmed canoodling his mistress like a high-school senior at prom night.

Regulators Race to Contain Silicon Valley Bank Fallout and Close Signature Bank

Federal regulators announced on Sunday that they would ensure that all depositors of Silicon Valley Bank — which failed Friday — were paid back in full as they rushed to contain fallout from the collapse of the large institution.

The Federal Reserve, Treasury and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced in a joint statement that “depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer.”
