EM BURLINGAME: [Liberal democracy] is riddled right through with this concept, an idea that we need to forgive everybody and leave it up to the state to punish them. Well, how's that been going?

Unless you remove these people who will not be removed without force, it's a 40-to-60-year process and it probably won't happen because they're not going to give you that kind of time.  They're living very well off of this abusive system all over.  --EM Burlingame

My suspicion is that we are watching the end of liberal democracy, and why? Because it is riddled right through with this concept, an idea that we need to forgive everybody and leave it up to the state to punish them.  Well, how's that been going?  And how exactly are we going to fix that, by becoming a moral righteous people who are all Christian again?  Unless you remove these people who will not be removed without force, it's a 40-to-60-year process and it probably won't happen because they're not going to give you that kind of time.  They're living very well off of this abusive system all over.  So, to me, the focus for me now and very much to what you articulating is the young men because they are the asset of the land.  The physical violence capacities of young men are the only real asset.  So, okay, how do we healthily, correctly develop that capacity in young men?  Well, to do that there's a whole lot of other things that young men need to learn in order to control that violence, particularly well developed capacities for violence.  And when I look back historically there are, not too long, there are some very solid models for that.  And one of them is Knighthood, and the path to Knighthood, and the journey to Knighthood, and the responsibilities of Knighthood . . .

Today our taxes have risen and been used against us.

Ancient Greek Olympic athletes followed specific training diets. These weren't secret. These were documented by physicians and trainers. The Olympic training diet: Meat. Primarily meat. Heavy on meat. Specifically: Beef, pork, goat, fish. Cheese, figs for quick energy. Wine diluted with water. Grain consumption: Minimal. Some bread, but not the focus. Milo of Croton, six-time Olympic wrestling champion: Documented eating 20 pounds of meat daily during training. Whether exact or exaggerated, the emphasis is clear: Massive meat consumption. Other documented champion athletes: Similar patterns. Meat-heavy training diets. The Greeks weren't guessing. They observed: Athletes on meat-heavy diets performed better than athletes on grain-heavy diets. They didn't have studies. They had outcomes. Champions ate meat. Losers ate less meat. Roman gladiators by contrast: Fed grain porridge intentionally. Called "barley men." Not because it was optimal. Because it was cheap and fattened them for spectacle. Olympic athletes: Fed meat because performance mattered. Gladiators: Fed grain because cost mattered and performance was secondary to appearance. Same empire. Different objectives. Different nutrition. Medieval knights in training: Meat-heavy diets documented in household records. Not for taste. For building strength and maintaining combat capacity. Modern Olympic athletes: Many still gravitate toward meat-heavy diets despite modern nutritional advice suggesting otherwise. Why? Because when performance is measured objectively, meat works. You can theorise about plant-based athletic performance. Then you measure actual outcomes. Champions across history: Ate meat. The pattern is consistent across cultures and time periods. When physical performance is the goal, meat is the solution. Ancient trainers didn't know about protein synthesis, amino acid profiles, or bioavailability. They knew: Feed athletes meat, they win. Feed them grain, they lose. That was sufficient. Modern sports nutrition rediscovered what ancient trainers knew: Meat builds strength. They just had to dress it up in scientific language to make it sound like a new discovery.

SAMA HOOLE: Levitical texts detail how the "choice fat" of sacrificial animals belongs to God. The fat of the kidneys, the fat covering the organs, the fat tail of sheep: all reserved for burning on the altar. The priests consume the meat, but the fat? That's holy. Too valuable for human consumption in religious ceremonies. It goes to the divine.

Ancient Near East, roughly 1500 BCE. Fat isn't just food. It's sacred.

Ancient Near East, roughly 1500 BCE. Fat isn't just food. It's sacred. Levitical texts detail how the "choice fat" of sacrificial animals belongs to God. The fat of the kidneys, the fat covering the organs, the fat tail of sheep: all reserved for burning on the altar. The priests consume the meat, but the fat? That's holy. Too valuable for human consumption in religious ceremonies. It goes to the divine. This isn't unique to Hebrew tradition. Across ancient cultures, fat is revered. The Greeks believe the gods prefer the smoke from burning fat over any other offering. Romans save the best fat for festival days and religious observances. Fat represents prosperity, blessing, abundance. Jump forward to medieval Europe. The nobility eats fat with every meal. Fatty cuts are status symbols. The poor eat lean scraps and develop deficiencies. Eating fat means you've made it. You have resources. You're successful. Then something shifts. Around the 16th century, Christian asceticism starts reframing physical pleasure as spiritual danger. The body is corrupt. Physical desires must be denied. Fasting becomes virtue. Deprivation becomes godliness. And fat? Fat becomes associated with sin. Gluttony. Lust. Physical indulgence. The pleasure of eating fat is recast as moral weakness. "Fatty foods" become coded language for excess and lack of self-control. By Victorian times, this is fully crystallised. Fatty meat is "rich" food. Rich doesn't mean expensive anymore: it means excessive, dangerous, immodest. A proper Victorian lady doesn't eat fat. That would be vulgar. She eats lean portions and demonstrates moral superiority through dietary restraint. The temperance movement expands this. They're not just against alcohol. They're against anything that brings physical pleasure. Fatty meat makes you lustful. Spices make you aggressive. Pleasure itself becomes the enemy of virtue. This worldview gets dressed up in scientific language by the 20th century but the moral framework remains identical. Eating fat isn't just unhealthy: it's undisciplined, weak, shameful. People who eat fatty foods lack self-control. They're giving in to base desires. We went from burning fat as an offering to God to treating fat consumption as moral failure. Same substance. The only thing that changed was who controlled the narrative. And who benefited? The grain industry needed fat to be shameful so bread could be virtuous. The sugar industry needed fat to be dangerous so sweetness could be innocent. The pharmaceutical industry needed fat to be disease-causing so they could sell statins. Fat didn't change. The agenda did. Your great-great-grandmother ate dripping on toast and called it breakfast. Your grandmother was taught to fear it. You've been taught it'll kill you. What changed wasn't the science. What changed was who stood to profit.

The Left running her down on her death is despicable. RIP, Brigette Bardot, 1934-2025

She was feminine, not dainty. Beautiful not ostentatious. Girly, but no one to fool with. Stylish & smart. There was Welch, Cardinale, et al but no one had Bardot's courage. Bardot was loved & admired around the world. The Left running her down on her death is despicable.
