- Mussolini’s March on Rome: The First Fascist Insurrection 18th January 2021Listen here. Travel back to the very birth of fascism in this episode about the March on Rome. You’ll learn how the first trailblazing fascist dictator took power and destroyed a democracy. There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys […]Keith Preston
- Killing Nora: The Real Reason Trump Should Have Been Impeached 18th January 2021By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It’s pretty much an open secret at this point that all American presidents are certifiable war criminals, even the supposedly good ones.

Ashli Babbitt died because she was shot. Three protestors died of medical emergencies (it happens in crowds but still …).

- Samizdata quote of the day 14th January 2021See how strong governmentalist ideology is in both the principal covid narratives: (a) the surge is because of the failure of the public to obey; and (b) the surge is because of the failure of govt to act. That some things may be beyond state control is not considered. – Guy HerbertSamizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts)

- RAW LAND 11th November 2019by John GrauerholzI love the lonely landscapes, the empty places, the solitary spaces. I am beguiled by the barren scenery that is not quite desert, yet a geography that is still too unforgiving to be farmland. A soil that is not devoid of vegetation, but an earth where all the plants have already turned brown. […]Mr. Mean-Spirited
