Pope Pius XII, 1876-1958, [WWII Pope, 1939-1958] on how mass democracy turns liberty into licentiousness and tyranny:

Against this picture of the democratic ideal of liberty and equality in a people's government by honest and far-seeing men, what a spectacle is that of a democratic state left to the whims of the masses! Liberty, from being a moral duty of the individual, becomes a tyrannous claim to give free rein to a man's impulses and appetites to the detriment of others. Equality degenerates to a mechanical leveling, a colorless uniformity; the sense of true honor, of personal activity, of respect for tradition and dignity-in a word all that gives life its worth-gradually fades away and disappears. And the only survivors are, on one hand, the victims deluded by the specious mirage of democracy, naively taken for the genuine spirit of democracy, with its liberty and equality; and on the other, the more or less numerous exploiters, who have known how to use the power of money and of organization in order to secure a privileged position above the others, and have gained power.

This quote is recorded in the fantastic book Nobility and Analogous Traditional Elites, which covers social hierarchy in the Christian tradition, including the American tradition. [A website.]

The Amazon blurb reads, 

Since the eighteenth century, generations have been schooled in utopian principles proclaiming total equality as the guarantor of liberty and justice for all. The egalitarian myth of a classless society was proffered as the unquestionable path down which mankind must travel to reach perfect social harmony. This book does much to shatter these myths and provide a Catholic approach to the way society should be structured as seen by the Popes.

J. MICHAEL WALLER: Mexico requires its elected federal lawmakers to be native-born Mexicans. Its constitution does not permit naturalized citizens to be elected as deputies or senators. The US Constitution has no analogous requirement for congressmen and senators.

Members of the US House and Senate are permitted to be citizens of foreign countries and are not required to declare their dual nationality.

Effectively, dual nationality of federal lawmakers is secret.

Legislation introduced to correct this never made it to a vote.

Let’s talk Interpol Cases today : These are cases I did for years that many haven’t a clue : The numbers MSM likes to quote , the seventy some percent with "no criminal convictions," are drawn from convictions recorded in United States databases. A foreign conviction does not show up there. Neither does a Red Notice. A man carrying a 9-year sentence in another country registers in that column as a Non-Criminal. And TRAC quietly narrowed it further. They used to count a criminal record, convictions and pending charges together. Now the headline number counts convictions only. So the fleeing to elude felony he is sitting on in Iredell County right now does not move him out of that bucket either. That is the statistic immigration advocates march behind. Purposely built to make a convicted extortionist with an Interpol notice and a hostage in his car disappear into a percentage they love [to] talk about.

Plenty of Americans, I mean Americans whose parents fought or were conscripted into WWII, view migrants ["alien" is the correct legal term] and immigration as a boon, a benefit rather than a destructive force in society.  Have they forgotten the pre-globalism days of small, local institutions carrying the load of social services along with the church?  Have they forgotten about that?  It just seems that too many Americans suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, where we try to please and bend over backwards with our captors.  Nils Johan Artur Bejerot, 1921–1988, a Swedish psychiatrist and criminologist, coined the term, Stockholm Syndrome. 

Nils Johan Artur Bejerot (1921–1988) was a Swedish psychiatrist and criminologist renowned for his empirical research on drug addiction as a preventable behavioral epidemic driven by social contagion rather than inevitable disease. Graduating with an MD from the Karolinska Institute in 1957 and earning a doctorate in 1974, he served as consulting psychiatrist to the Stockholm Police Department from 1958 to 1988, where he analyzed patterns of abuse among criminals and developed epidemiological models emphasizing demand reduction through strict societal controls.

"Pat Buchanan's The Death of the West," The American Tribune, October 10, 2025.

Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasion Imperil Our Country and Civilization, Patrick J. Buchanan, 2002.

PETER CLACK: Globalism meant Western factories closed, borders opened, and jobs relocated to wherever it was cheaper and convenient. The industrial worker in Vienna, the Ruhr region, or Ohio became unemployed or was pushed into low-wage service sector work.

The West gave China everything, including its 2001 admission to the WTO, even though China lacked a true market economy or rule-of-law system. It was a voluntary technology transfer: anyone who wanted to produce in China was forced to hand over their intellectual property.

The West dismantled its own industrial base and rebuilt it in China. The West financed a totalitarian surveillance state that now uses Western money to rearm, buy up strategic ports, monopolise raw materials, and exercise leverage over us. --Peter Clack

Globalism was sold with a promise of prosperity. In reality, it was the greatest redistribution of wealth in human history. Globalism meant Western factories closed, borders opened, and jobs relocated to wherever it was cheaper and convenient. The industrial worker in Vienna, the Ruhr region, or Ohio became unemployed or was pushed into low-wage service sector work. At the same time, profits ballooned for the middlemen who produce nothing. Financial conglomerates, importers, logistics giants, tech platforms, and consultants have pocketed the margin between cheap production in Asia and expensive sales in the West. The result is a super-rich global elite and a left-behind, indebted proletariat. The middle class—the backbone of every free society—was crushed. This represents the greatest surge in inequality in a century. Without globalism, China would never have risen. The West gave China everything, including its 2001 admission to the WTO, even though China lacked a true market economy or rule-of-law system. It was a voluntary technology transfer: anyone who wanted to produce in China was forced to hand over their intellectual property. The West looked the other way on forced labor, state subsidies, currency manipulation, and technology theft. Capital on a scale of trillions of dollars has been pumped directly into China. The West dismantled its own industrial base and rebuilt it in China. The West financed a totalitarian surveillance state that now uses Western money to rearm, buy up strategic ports, monopolise raw materials, and exercise leverage over us. China did not rise despite the West, but because the globalist West built it that way. Short-term profit was prioritised over national security, industrial sovereignty, and local workforce stability. A rootless, stateless elite in New York, Brussels, Berlin, and Shanghai feels at home everywhere and takes responsibility nowhere. In its wake are stranded communities, stripped of industry and upward mobility, entirely dependent on supply chains controlled by a foreign power.

This was no mistake. It is how the system was designed to work.

Every three years in medieval England, the king's men went from cottage to cottage cutting the toes off the peasants' dogs. It was called lawing. The dog's forefoot went on a block of wood, a chisel was set across three claws, and they came off with one blow of a mallet. The Charter of the Forest, 1217, records the correct method: three claws of the forefoot, but not the ball. A dog with three toes missing cannot run down a deer. That was the entire purpose. A third of England was royal forest, every animal in it belonged to the king, and a poor man's dog was the one piece of hunting equipment he could not be stopped from owning. So they left him the dog and took its feet. If the inspectors found yours intact, the fine was three shillings, about a month's wages. Before 1217 they simply took your ox. No law ever told that man he could not eat meat. The law took his bow, his dog's toes and his right to the wood, then left him entirely free to work out the rest for himself. He worked it out. He ate oats and beans, and he raised children who ate oats and beans. That is how it is always done. Meat is never banned for the poor. It just becomes, by one sensible regulation after another, impossible to get.

Count the sensible regulations being drafted for your dinner this year.

DAVID A. HUGHES: it's only really a kind of trauma bonding which psychologically incapacitates people from being able to accept that.

Dr. David Hughes by Maryann Gebauer

Global technocracy and how to escape

Read on Substack

Dr. David Hughes is an expert on psychological warfare, Covid-19, the deep state, intelligence crime, technocracy, and resurgent totalitarianism. We discuss the military operation under foot and how to effectively resist. Dr. Hughes is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Lincoln and a graduate of Oxford. He just released his latest book, Covid-19: Psychological Operations, and the War for Technocracy, 2024.  His next book was Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State, 2024.  [As to "deep state," a better name for "it" or "them" is counter state.  Linuxhippie points out that, "There is no "Deep State". That's a made up term to replace what is actually the "cause" of our issues--The Counter-State."]

Check out Dr. David A. Hughes's Substack.

25:15.  The government did it at the behest of as I say more powerful interests through the transnational deep state.  It knew the kinds of harm that it was inflicting through lockdown and yet he kept the UK population in a state of almost continual lockdown until July 2021 so I'm afraid the cold facts and hard evidence are there and it's only really a kind of trauma bonding which psychologically incapacitates people from being able to accept that.

26:00.  Categories of people in response to this psychological warfare you suggested that there's really three groups of people.

26:07.  Yes this isn't in the book but this is something which came up in an interview I did yesterday but I think it's just a useful way of thinking about this.  In many ways, it goes back to a British independent researcher by the name of Andrew Johnson [Substack] who's done really great work around 9/11.  But in one of his kind of memorable phrases he said something along the lines of essentially what you have when dealing with these kind of deep structural events is you have the official approved narrative, and that's the one that most people believe.  That's the one that the governments push, that the mainstream media pushes and the hypnotized masses generally follow and can't see outside of.  Then you have the official, approved alternative version of events and it seems that that is largely placed there by design to kind of herd up those people who do realize actually there is something wrong with the official narrative in category one.  So in Category 2, what you often find are supposed dissidents who nevertheless their voices amplified greatly.  They don't find themselves shadow banned and censored.  Sometimes some of these figures are quite hard to get away from. So again in this country we have a guy called Alex Creel who goes by the name of "Thinking Slow," and he's done really important work around this.  And he looks at figures like Russell Brand, for example, and says when you look at the kind of viewership figures that this guy racks up, it's simply not plausible that he's actually offering any dissident thought.  He's actually supported by the main platforms.  He's actually promoted by them and even when there was that Scandal surrounding him a few months ago he actually ended up making more money and gaining more views after that so these kind of figures kind of fail upwards.  In contrast, when we get to Category 3 . . . So let's come back to Andrew Johnson you have the official version of events the official alternative version of events and Category 3 is the truth and when you get to Category 3 that's when you're dealing with genuine dissidents.  And as Creel explains, the genuine dissidents tend to be the people that you've never heard of because they are throttled at every stage in terms of their freedom of reach so again this is why the social media is so damaging in terms of being able to limit the exposure of certain people.

TEACHING BEYOND 9/11: devotes only a paragraph to the attacks themselves. It says that the United States merely “accused” Osama bin Laden of masterminding them. No mention on Islamic Terror as a context or the Crusades

A North American Values Institute (NAVI) review of other materials found a pattern of activist framing of the terrorist attacks that leaves children ignorant of the ideological forces that drove the attackers and steers them toward activism instead of understanding.  --Dana Stangel-Plowe

from Dana Stangel-Plowe,

One of the nation’s most elite schools of education—the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education—created “Teaching Beyond 9/11,” a “multimodal curriculum for high school and college educators,” whose title suggests a comprehensive treatment of the events. But its lessons devote only a paragraph to the attacks themselves. It says that the United States merely “accused” Osama bin Laden of masterminding them. It does not explain al-Qaeda’s responsibility or the Taliban’s role in sheltering the group.

Meantime, the curriculum presents over 50 lessons about Islamophobia, racism, American power, and “social justice.” Students are encouraged to adopt political interpretations of the attacks and their aftermath and asked to identify “avenues for solidarity,” imagine “better futures,” and become motivated to act for social change. The curriculum includes a unit on “right-wing extremism” but offers no examination of Islamist extremism—the ideology that motivated the attack on America. 

. . . 

Terrorism is the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians to achieve a political, ideological, or religious objective. Students should understand the moral difference between those who deliberately target civilians and those acting to defend people from such attacks.

Unfortunately, the Penn curriculum is only one example of curricula that downplay 9/11 history. A North American Values Institute (NAVI) review of other materials found a pattern of activist framing of the terrorist attacks that leaves children ignorant of the ideological forces that drove the attackers and steers them toward activism instead of understanding. One teaching guide, promoted by the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers’ union, encourages students to blame U.S. policy for 9/11—for example, by asking “why some people hate the U.S. enough to kill thousands of people.” In a lesson on the American Federation of Teachers’ “Share My Lesson” platform, students read Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” uncritically and are asked only to summarize his arguments and find reasons for his anti-Semitism: “Why do you think Osama bin Laden hates Jews so much?”
