The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all. It is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level. To breed and train a standardized citizenry. To put down dissent and originality. H.L. Mencken
It’s estimated 2,500 children are kidnapped and murdered in this country every year. Americans, for the most part, are oblivious to what’s really going on behind the scenes.
I retired from the FBI March 1979. At that time, I was in charge of the FBI Los Angeles Division. I had more than 700 personnel under my command. And in that particular instance, they were taking children out of foster homes, orphanages, Boys Town. These are two-, three-, and four-year-old children before they entered kindergarten. In addition, the children claimed that they were flown into the mountains where they were involved with adults in robes, black robes, chanting, candles. They talked about the brown babies who were cut up, actually sacrificed, and flying them to Washington, D.C., for sex orgies with prominent people, including congressmen, senators, and certain people in the White House.
And the reason the congressmen and the senators vote for these stupid bills is because many of them have been set up and framed through sex and drugs. Ted Gunderson
Female sociopaths and psychopaths are becoming lawyers, judges and regulators
I saw an interview with Dr. Drew Pinsky on the program Her Take, hosted by Jillian Michaels where he mentioned something that I found interesting. Here’s a quote from the video (July 5th 2025): I want to address the hysteria thing because I have an — I’m a time traveler, remember that — and I come from a previous time and era. Read more ⟶
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life, you doubt, as far as possible, all things. René Descartes
[The high-minded man] must care for truth more than for what men will think of him, and speak and act openly. He will not hesitate to say what he thinks. […] honour is what high-minded men are concerned with; for it is honour that great men claim and deserve. Aristotle

For everyone who is directly or indirectly involved in the December 8 trial or is interested in it and has an opinion about it, I offer this as food for thought. Read more ⟶
One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before and proved disastrous before, time and again. [The more you study the past, the further you can see the future.] Thomas Sowell
That which you most need will be found where you least want to look. Carl Jung (paraphrase)
Anarchy and chaos
The word ‘anarchy’ has its origins in the Ancient Greek word ‘anarchos’. ‘An’ means ‘without’ and ‘archos’ means ‘ruler’. So anarchy literally means “without ruler”. This can be compared to the word ‘monarchy’, which means “one ruler” (‘monos’ means ‘one’ or ‘alone’). Read more ⟶
Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster… for when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. Friedrich W. Nietzsche
Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good. Archbishop Charles J. Chaput
Anarchism is not a romantic fable but he hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners. Edward Abbey
The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. Gustave Le Bon
A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years. Lysander Spooner
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. Frederick Douglas
Het Universeel Recht op Leven
We kunnen speculeren over de oorsprong, de betekenis en het doel van het leven, maar wat we wel zeker weten is dat wij allen de kans hebben gekregen om op dit moment het leven te ervaren. En met ons, alle flora en fauna op onze planeet, van het microscopische tot het macroscopische — allemaal levende organismen, net als ons. Read more ⟶
Why Plato used the dialogue form
Ever wonder why Plato chose to speak and write in the dialogue form? If so, you’re not alone. I’ve wondered that myself in the past while reading some of his work. And even back then it seemed to me that he was trying to somehow record some important knowledge, sometimes philosophical concepts and sometimes even (alternative) history, without getting into trouble.

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are. H.L. Mencken
Without leaving your home, you can understand the whole world. Without looking out the window, you can see the way of heaven. The further away you go, the less you understand yourself. That is why the wise man understands himself without traveling. He sees without looking. He accomplishes everything without doing anything. Lao Tse
‘Extremely aggressive’ internet censorship spreads in the world
A team from the University of Michigan published a study titled “Censored Planet: An Internet-wide, Longitudinal Censorship Observatory” where they look at censorship around the world. Things appear to be getting worse as mentioned: “What we see from our study is that no country is completely free,” said Ram Sundara Raman, U-M doctoral candidate in computer science and engineering and first author of the study.
