We’re not winning. After the terror attack in Nice the blood lay on the roads for weeks. The memory of the atrocities was scorched into the tarmac. The screams of people into my intercom seeking refuge recorded. It was two days before I sought medical assistance for myself. The media circus that came to town was only interested in our capitulation. In the bullshit secularised Christian “pray for Nice”. How we would “win”’over terrorism by continuing life. As though nothing had happened. And so as with all terror attacks it was ushered out of minds. The inconvenience of Muslim terror and Islam’s poison and centuries old obsessions. The inconvenience invited to our shores which no one knows how to handle and so doesn’t. And when anyone does, say Israel, the world rushes to condemn it. The images of released hostages far more palatable than raped twelve year old girls shot in the back of the head with bloodied knickers around their ankles. And disembowles pregnant women. We ignore it. We want to move on. Left or right or frankly day dreaming libertarians can never fully understand what’s at stake. So it’s hands off don’t go there not our circus not our monkeys by virtually everyone in the approach to this. Except the monkeys are in our towns. And they long ago started murdering more than Israeli kids.
My point is rather that we won’t. We don’t have the willpower. Or the balls. We never have. The only way to resolve this is to remove the status quo in power. I’m on the side of the violent far right. Or Israel. I don’t give two cursory shits who gets a grip anymore or how anyone decides to label those that take matters into their own hands. Perhaps that’s what surviving a terror attack has done to me. But standing around throwing our hands in the air and hoping we can solve this by the ballot box is wishful thinking.
I think that's what Dominic was eluding to. When the establishment don't act the people end up taking it into their own hands. The direction of travel is obvious unless the electorate do something different and strip the power base away from these failing parties. The polls suggest people are moaning but not taking decisive action they're still flip flopping between the two that have led us here.
If you look throughout Europe you'll see parties have sprung up to answer these issues, despite the cathedral trying to stop them. We need to form a new party in the UK that acts for the good of the majority, not for the "Anywhere people" like Sunak and his wife.
Nothing will change I’m afraid. I haven’t seen any rise. Maybe some rumblings in Ireland but they aren’t far right - as he says it’s a media label. I genuinely don’t think anything’s going to change.
Great article Dom. I think the time has come to start repatriating third world immigrants from Western nations. If that makes me far right then so be it.
Great article Dom....must check out the libertarian song link. BTW, your recent interview with Michelle Makori on KITCO news was also worthy of watching, for anybody who hasn't seen it yet.
I had the misfortune of catching the latest 'Dr Who' episode, where David Tennant returns to the rols for four specials. My daughter, who is now 21 and an actress herself, fell in love with Tennant's portrayal of the good Doctor at the tender age of about seven and was also mindful of the different writers. With the return of Russel T. Davis, mighty things were expected, especially after past episodes such as the 'Weeping Angels', or 'The Girl in the Fireplace', or the equally brilliant 'Midnight'.
Alas, all last night's episode was about, was 'diversity and inclusion'. It was acted with the adeptness of a village 'am-dram' group. It was truly the antithesis of EVERYTHING Davis has done before. Sad, really sad to see a group of lost actors, writers, directors and producers, doffing their caps to 'the man' and not asking the question of 'why should they jump', but merely 'how high'.

I'm intrigued to know where the current authoritarian centrists, so adept at blocking and filtering out anyone such as Suella Braverman or Priti Patel who attempts to rock their boat, fit in that horseshoe. In fact I'd say they make it redundant. They're hardly the free speech champions of liberty in the mould of JFK, Hubert Humphrey, Bob Hawke, Roy Jenkins and other mainstream centrists of yesteryear are they? Far from it with their intolerance of anyone daring to disagree with them, their embracing of cancel culture all the way through to closing the bank accounts of people like Nigel Farage, the pursuit of people like Laurence Fox out of their professions means perhaps the horseshoe needs turning upside down to put them somewhere between Hitler and Stalin on the other side of the spectrum. They might not be locking people up yet but give them time. What a horrible spectacle they all are
The horseshoe was useful when the axis was left/right. Things have shifted such that the axis is now more usefully authoritarian/libertarian. I have marched with, and count as friends, people from all over the previous spectrum of left/right, in the name of freedom, and the previous distinctions are unimportant.
Thanks Dominic for pointing out how bad / politically correct reporting has become in this country . I am learning new things from you regularly. My family were once legal immigrants but I am perfectly happy with the idea that serious offenders should have their whole family deported .
Enjoyed this very much but I've disagreed with horseshoe theory for decades now. That would imply that Fascism and Nazism were offshoots of Conservatism which went AWOL, took a liking to Futurism, and suddenly, inexplicably, called themselves socialists.
Mussolini was a socialist first and both parties had many American Progressive admirers before the war. It's a fish-hook, an aberration of socialism that made use of popular conservative ideas (like nationalism) to gain adherents and outflank it's main competition, Internationalist Socialism (Communism).
Understand that and it helps you understand how the Woke (Identitarian Left) outflanked the old Universalist Left and now openly march with antisemites waving the hazenkreuz and shouting "Hitler was right".

Perhaps we should stop calling nazis the nazis and just call them national socialists.... the clue is in the name. Would that be more powerful than arguing with the young brainwashed? They don't listen but they would wonder why we refer to them as socialists?????

A while back Tony Blair's government-funded thinktank, The Institute for Global Change, lumped Reason magazine (probably the most popular American Libertarian magazine), in with 13 UK-based Far Right groups. The report mentioned Reason as an example of an anti-government group which promoted conspiracy theories and distrust of the state. It shouldn't surprise us that media has branded a newly elected Argentinian Libertarian leader is branded far right.
If by conspiracy theory, they mean the idea that institutional government can be massively wasteful and inefficient, and is often terrible at doing its job, then count me in as a conspiracy theorist- the fact that all the empirical evidence tends to bear this out simply wouldn't cross their minds, because they operate from the premise that public sector employment is a public good, per se. Plus, distrust of the state, particularly the permanent bureaucratic state, is essential for the continued survival of liberal democracy.
Was John Locke a conspiracy theorist for being wary of the power of government and arguing its power should be limited?
It's natural that Jewish people would seek to influence politics by any means at their disposal. Ashkenazi Jews are always going to be more successful than any group they live alongside- not because of nepotism, banking conspiracies or any of the other anti-Semitic fictions, but because they are simply smarter. Most of race realism literature is highly exaggerated because it fails to look fully at the full range of positive and negative environmental factors including, but not limited to fathers and play mechanisms.
Ashkenazi Jews are the exception. They are the only group of which we know who possess a preponderance of neurological conditions associated with very high intelligence- so genetic, rather than epigenetic or polygenic. Minimum estimates for the gap between Whites and Ashkenazi Jews are around 8 points. Higher estimates between 10 and 15 points. And what the likes of midwit Unz Review types fail to tell you is that of the roughly 50% of Israelis Jews who identify as Ashkenazi more than 50% are more than 50% non-Ashkenazi by ancestry- so claims of only a 6 points or less are a product of deeply flawed statistical data.
Now, an 8 point IQ gap doesn't mean very much in the middle of the distribution. It won't mean very much for job prospects or in practical terms- other than being a little bit quicker on the uptake. But at the tail end of the curve it makes a great deal of difference. It means per population Ashkenazi Jews will outnumber others in all the high status, highly cognitive jobs by a factor of 8. Entrepreneurship is somewhat different in that an IQ over 120 really doesn't increase your chances of success (showing that 'common sense' is nothing of the sort), but it does predict the degree of your success, with each 10 to 12 points increasing total wealth generated by an order of magnitude.
Don't believe me? The Jewish population of the world is roughly 0.2% of global population. Ashkenazi are only half of them. They account for 20% of all Nobel prizes, and this is particularly true in the sciences. Being more successful than others as a group will always lead to resentment and, during times of economic upheaval, potential bloodshed.
Of course, I don't agree with money providing unequal influence in politics, but don't blame specific peoples for taking advantage of any shield that they can to protect themselves from the all but inevitable darker side of human nature.
Now, I know there is a Marxist, anti-capitalist retort to this type of argument, but none of these arguments would even exist without the contributions of Jewish people to social progress. Social reformers tried and failed repeatedly to expand the right to vote and the rights of man, before Jewish intellectuals fleeing the Pale finally began to destroy the arguments and dogmas of an ideological ruling elite relying upon Roman, Greek and Church tradition for 'Dieu et mon droit.'
The Levellers were not the only example of social movements that were crushed through nothing more than an intellectually superior presumed right to rule. And, if anything, the Land Enclosures Act showed quite succinctly how the slow erosion of our Anglo-Saxon rights by a Norman subversion would have ultimately led to a West in which the common man had no right to property or entitlement to wages from labour had it not been for Jewish intellectualism challenging the status quo.
All history is a war between competing narratives. Without the contribution of Jewish people in the West it's highly likely that the landowning elites would have won out over the rising mercantile class. Greek philosophy borrowed heavily from Jewish tradition. Rome in turn borrowed heavily from the Greeks. Islam's high period was heavily dependent upon the contributions of Jewish scholars, the waning influence of which precipitated the decline of their civilisation. The Enlightenment simply wouldn't have happened without the Jewish intellectualism embodied in classical traditions. Even Christianity is a borrowed cultural identity.
The Jews even invented socialist utopianism. This doesn't mean I agree with Netanyahu or the Likud Party. Jocko Willink has supplied the knowledge to show that Israel could have fought their war far more humanly and far more successfully, with far fewer civilian casualties, and I defer to his vastly superior and proven military acumen. But people who really want peace in the Middle East should realise that in order for this to happen BOTH Hamas AND the Likud Party have to go. I'm not saying it should happen given the imperatives of democracy, just that it is the only way it can happen.
I have chosen to run away to Argentina so am watching Milei with interest. I think I may have to try to send him your libertarian anthem, translating the lyrics into Castellano first! 🤣
I hate having to admit this, but the left have played a blinder. Tony Blair, the ultimate strategist and all round self centered man, set this all in motion back in the day.
Infiltrate the institutions, whitehall etc, institutions that used to be mixed politically, hate speech laws, supreme courts, no wonder he wanted education education. He should have said indoctrination, indoctrination, but he was too clever for that.
He invaded a middle eastern country, and got everyone to call it a war, and over time everybody did. Changed the narrative around the world. It was brilliant.
But lets not forget it wasn't a war was it?...
it was an invasion, an attack!
Then styles himself as a middle Eastern peace envoy!... A Peace envoy!
You literally could not make this up. If it was a book it would be slammed as too far fetched.
Amazing how far one man can get. History shows how far one man can go.
And he is far from finished. He wants more control over your money, your travel etc.
He even slipped up in recent years saying unvaccinated should not travel. Trying to create an underclass by his hand.
To me, he is a seriously skilled manipulator of people and information.
He's behind the scenes now but very active. Blair institute, Davos, Watch your back Charles Schwab. Watch your back Ursula.
Watch your money everyone else.... or your soon to be social credits
Milei is right. We have been too accommodating to the insidious left. It is time to stop being nice and it is time to put them back into their weird little box and screw the lid shut.
The horseshoe has never been useful except as deception. There is no Extreme Right, unless maximum freedom within the form of America’s Constitutional limits is extreme.
But on the left, freedom is the variable that diminishes to zero the more extreme you go. And government control swells from palpable to inveigling itself into governing our wealth, movements, diet, and even our thoughts.
Well put, Dominic. This may be overly optimistic, but with recent developments on the continent and Argentina (to name a couple), it does feel like we may have reached the beginning of a tipping point when it comes to tolerance of a ruling class who have shown themselves unable or unwilling to solve the problems of their own creation.
For the problems posed by mass immigration specifically, they will be resolved one way or another. This will either mean a political solution, or something far more unpleasant. My concern is that the longer the current elite cling to power, the more unlikely the former becomes.
Mainstream media didn't "die." Mainstream media has been outed. Media became "mainstream" *when* it was co-opted for propaganda.
Those who invested in mass media did so -- explicitly to steer society by means of a controlled and unified message -- propaganda.
Mainstream media is entirely propaganda. Even the damn weather report. Everywhere you see "feel-like temperatures." Not the actual temperature. This is done specifically so that people *won't know* what the actual temperature is. That way fallacies like "Global Warming" won't be so obvious to the masses.
Except when Global Warming conferences are called off for excessive snow fall!

We won’t solve these problems by singing “Don’t look back in anger”. We need to send them back. Permanently. We are at an inflection point.
