The Soviet Communist Origins of "Human Resources" and D.I.E Enforcement

HR, or "People Ops", or as it used to be called, "personnel", is easily the most hated of all company departments. If you ask anyone where it came from, you'll get two different answers and a wildly incomplete timeline. One of those is the more palatable: of it developing from

Semper Occultis? What Exactly Is Going On At MI6?

What few mention about the mantra "our successes are private, but our failures are public", is its dual face: anonymity and mythos function as a useful way of avoiding scrutiny. Distracting from your failures by claiming it's wrong to judge without seeing your successes isn't helpful, for the simple reason

Cracking The Fraudulent Story Code Of The Social Science Cult

Whether we like it or not, humans think in stories; parables, even. They help us pass moral education down the generations. We are exceptionally vulnerable to their power, for good reason; they help us understand a world which overwhelms us. The stories we tell others, and ourselves, are our sense

The Western Techno-Maoists' War On The Working Class

There is a historical term for "cancel culture" and the angry desecration of tradition by a subset of radicals with familiar beliefs: Maoism. Every abusive communist uprising has been suffixed with the rallying call of "justice" for a century. This time it's emerged from sociology anLd based around social issues,

The One Thing Missing From The "Great Reset": Democratic Consent.

Nobody voted for it. Nobody even had the chance to cast a ballot or have a say. Its "designers" have never been elected and hardly anyone knows their names. Our "leaders" seem to think democracy is a bit of a drag to their plans for humanity's supposed greater good and

Reverse Transcriptase, Antibody-Dependent Enhancement: Did A Lab Leak Interrupt China's Assembly Of A Genetic Weapon?

Chairman Mao put it bluntly: power comes from the barrel of a gun. The world's power is held by those with nuclear weapons. The Second World War was ended with them and created two superpowers. To be the world's most powerful superpower, you need the world's most powerful weapons. What's

Repackaging Communism As The End Goal Of Civil Rights Movements

From the Black Liberation Army to Womens' Liberation to the Gay Liberation Front to Black Lives Matter, all rights movements have co-opted tactics linking back to the Soviet Union to achieve their goals: manipulating language, demanding "justice" for injury, pathologising detractors, infiltrating institutions, suppressing dissent, indoctrinating children, and worse.

The Need For New Laws Dealing with Frivolous And/Or Malignant Scholarship

Outlawing Critical Race Theory and other "divisive concepts" in the education system is a welcome step, but it doesn't address the much bigger problem underneath. "Divisive" doesn't necessarily mean "bad", intellectually-speaking: Galileo and Darwin were divisive; debates divide at the end to discover the result. For sixty years, academics have

A Compendium of Communist Dirty Tactics

Amongst communism's many, many problems is the one searing elephant in the giant empty room: why the proletariat never show up and come along. From Lenin, to Gramsci, to Mao, the same issue has dogged generations of activists; how to carry out the revolution if the incitement doesn't work. The

Fourth Generation Culture Warfare and the Trojan Tiger

Despite obvious comparisons to Orwell's literary observations of Stalin's regime, it's impossible not to notice how the Chilling Effect from the recent social media mania in liberal Western democracies is so reminiscent of the Chinese Communist Party's social suppression techniques.

The Academic Virus Deliberately Designed for the Corruption of Everything

"We're trained Marxists", says Patrisse Khan-Cullors into a webcam recently. "We spent the year reading, anything from Marx, to Lenin, to Mao, learning all types of global critical theory and about different campaigns across the world", she responded two years ago, when asked "How did you build the BLM movement?

The Ugly Spectre of Marxism Raises Its Medusa Head Again

If you're a Marxist, say you're a Marxist. Don't use the unjustified killing of a black man by abusive police officers as a cynical proxy for your attempts to succeed Comrade Lenin. Don't pretend you had any feelings for the man or his family over the excitement of the opportunity

Sandbox Theory: Silicon Valley's Matrix Experiment

The notable increase of globalism in the 1990s, particularly the Internet age, has yielded a realignment of our politics in the Western world to a re-emergent paradigm of individualism vs. collectivism. Not since the Industrial Revolution and its Communist Manifesto has there been such a pronounced dynamic of the people

Oh, Canada. The baby, the bathwater, the bathtub, the plumbing, the tiling, actually, screw it, the whole bathroom.

I grew up with great fondness for Canada, with extended family all over the country; from a town that housed a Canadian military ordnance base, leading to a cemetery of WWII graves where the Canadians who sacrificed their lives for the mother country are laid to rest. It’s a
