The boogaloo movement has been mentioned in the Forum lately in the context of defending Antifa by suggesting that the boogaloos are more evil and may be more dangerous. There’s not much purchase in the comparison. It is like suggesting that coronavirus isn’t worth our attention because Ebola is much worse.
Continue reading “Boogaloo movement”A Brief History of Antifa
Antifa may not be the biggest problem in America or even the worst. But it is certainly not a thing to be sympathetic toward, not one single bit or in any way.
Truth about the virus
I have been very disappointed by the Associated Press and the Pilot. They’re careful not to mention the important work of Dr. Raoult in France and Dr. Zelenko here.
Basically, Zelenko says that his hydroxy cocktail, if used in the first five days, has an almost perfect record of nullifying the infection.
If a patient goes another week or two and become really ill, the hydroxy medicine is of little use. However, it was precisely this set of patients that was treated and reported on in the newspapers. So, many people have the impression that the hydroxy approach is not an option. It is the best option.
At this point, I’ll sum up my own conclusions by saying that I trust Zelenko 99% and I trust Fauchi 9%. I have always heard that the pharmaceutical companies are brutal in their quest for profit.
Here are two really smart medical people explaining the situation.
Dr. Zelenko has started something called Crowd Protocol. He hopes to enlist the participation of doctors all around the world. They will report their experiences to help reach a consensus on best treatments.
U.S. appeals court orders judge to dismiss case against former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn
Thank goodness.
I see the order as a victory for the rule of law. When a prosecution drops its case, the presiding judge is obligated to dismiss it. Any other approach would invite miscarriages of justice.
Managing Violence
The ever provocative, and studied, Kevin Williamson meditates on the topic of police reform. His report on a study of police crime is particularly interesting.

Red Scare
The term Red Scare has cropped up recently in discussions here, but in a way to suggest that Communism in America has never been a real threat. I used to believe this myself.
Continue reading “Red Scare”The Soviet Plan for ‘Ideological Subversion’ Describes Our Current Turmoil
By coincidence the cite, published today, is apropos of one of yesterday’s discussion threads which explored the question, “What is driving the behavior of the protesters?”
The question is compelling because we have seen many perversities: in the name of racial grievance, black neighborhoods and businesses burned; statues commemorating abolitionists toppled, for example. I attribute these things to Marxism as an emerging political faction in America.
Yuri Bezmenov is one of the reasons I think so. The cite describes him as “a former KGB spy and state media propagandist who defected to Canada in 1970.”
