Alexander Dugin argues that the West's systematic dismantling of the post-Yalta bipolar order, aided by Russia's own geopolitical self-destruction in the late 1980s and 1990s, unleashed forces that can no longer be contained.

In his excellent book, As We Go Marching, the great conservative observer John T. Flynn analyzed the "good fascism" of Franklyn Roosevelt's New Deal, comparing and contrasting it with the "bad fascism" of Hitler and Mussolini:
"The test of fascism is not one's rage against the Italian and German war lords. The test is - how many of the essential principles of fascism do you accept and to what extent are you prepared to apply those fascist ideas to American social and economic life ? When you can put your finger on the men or the groups that urge for America the debt-supported state, the autarkical corporative state, the state bent on the socialization of investment and the bureaucratic government of industry and society, the establishment of the institution of militarism as the great glamorous public-works project of the nation and the institution of imperialism under which it proposes to regulate and rule the world and, along with this, proposes to alter the forms of our government to approach as closely as possible the unrestrained, absolute government - then you will know you have located the authentic fascist.

The report from the Wall Street Journal noted that US special ops forces were once again being deployed to the region to carry out a raid on a Hardened Deeply Buried Target (aka HDBT).

I'm not predicting WWIII; I am certainly not calling for WWIII; I'm doing everything in my power to prevent WWIII and illuminate the causes, risks, and general results of future war. We are in a quasi-war with Russia, with Europe planning to fight. We are at war in the Middle East with no end in sight. We have stolen China's oil source in Venezuela and threatened Denmark with our might.

American aggression against Iran has not only failed to truly degrade Tehran's capabilities (key missile bases and stockpiles remain largely intact after months of fighting), but also exposed how fragile US power becomes when rhetoric about "limitless capacity" finally collides with industrial and political reality. It seems no power in the political West (including the US) has learned anything from the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict.

If you spent one to two years when you were 16-17 years old and full of wild physical and sexual energy assiduously translating Homer's The Odyssey from the ancient Greek in little (7"x 4") gray books where you placed your English translation interlineally, trying to get every word precisely right and the syntax flowing for the hawk-eyed inspection of a Greek obsessed Jesuit priest, you too might have felt wounded like Odysseus by a wild boar.

Resistance to the Flock surveillance camera system has been building up since last year. In Suffolk, Virginia, 13 cameras were destroyed from April to October of 2025.
