Dearborn Michigan city council meeting replay July 14th 2026.

I attended the wall of Tears event and the display and I thought it was nice that's nice is something like that can be I thought it was meaningful informative something that helps you look 20,000 kids is a tragedy and it lets you see the other side of war that it's kids that are suffering when adults are arguing and fighting even as I was thinking about that and reading the story seeing the names I was thinking also of the things that happened on October 7th 2023.  I will never forget this, it's burned into my memory, seeing this little boy, his mother killed in front of him.  He was taken as a hostage.  And it wasn't Hamas that was taunting him.  It were the local children, and he had no idea what was even going on

2:50.  When people see this and they don't see Hamas being entrenched in a civilian population defensively, Hezbollah offensively trying to kill as many civilians as they can, this isn't an anomaly.  This is the MO.  And so when we can take a firm stance saying that "Israel is murdering 20,000 children" instead of saying that "Israel is trying to target the civilian population," then people are left to their own devices and they take that rage and they vent.  And it becomes violent.  And so please again, it's not performative. I'm genuinely asking you for a solution.  If we take a stance, can you please offer to take a stance in the affirmative?

SAMA HOOLE: No enzyme that opens cellulose. No plant alive carries the B12 we die without. We grew a brain instead, bought with meat, the gut shrinking back to pay for it.

The cow grew four stomachs to eat grass, and chews the cud eight hours a day to break it down. The horse grew a fermentation vat the size of a bin bag and grazes sixteen hours out of twenty-four. The rabbit eats its own droppings, because one pass through the gut cannot crack a plant open. The gorilla runs a colon so big it drags half its energy out of leaves it otherwise could not touch. The koala grew a two-metre gut and a poison-proof liver, then sleeps twenty hours a day because the leaves still barely pay. Every plant-eater is a specialist machine that gives up half its waking life to the job. Now look at us. A short, plain gut. No rumen, no vat, just a shrivelled pouch we cut out and never miss. No enzyme that opens cellulose. No plant alive carries the B12 we die without. We grew a brain instead, bought with meat, the gut shrinking back to pay for it.

The animal is the one built to eat plants. We are built to eat the animal. 

There's even a song about working for the CIA.

THE OLD WORLD SHOW: We are all Rhodesians now, for our enemies wish to do to us what they did to create Zimbabwe: erase every form of natural distinction, excellence, or greatness to replace it with the stultifying muck of equality.

They built a unique sort of man as they did so. One who, like the Virginians of earlier centuries, was remarkable for his "habit of command". --The Old World Show

Rhodesia remains a relevant tale because its history and destruction show the rot at the root of our world. It was founded by private enterprise, and settled by a remarkable group of men--Cecil Rhodes's Pioneer Column was no collection of rogues, but a cross-class selection of particularly educated and talented men led by some of the greatest men of their era, such as Courtney Selous. They marched north and built civilization where before nothing but the Stone Age had existed. They and their descendants built modern towns, prosperous farms, and a resplendent civilization that was both "more British than the British"--particularly as Labour regimes destroyed Britain--and well suited to its African environment. They built a unique sort of man as they did so. One who, like the Virginians of earlier centuries, was remarkable for his "habit of command". He could assume the mantle of leadership and authority without breaking a sweat, and lead men well because he had been trained essentially from birth in their leadership on his farm. The Rhodesians fought with valor in both world conflagrations, and were noted in those wars for being remarkably adept officers, as nearly all of them were; they could command men with excellence, as they themselves were excellent. Restrictive immigration policy kept this attitude and the immense spirit and competence that undergirded it intact as the years wore on. They built a civilization that flourished. That small nation between the Limpopo and the Zambezi was free, prosperous, and a shining light of Old World-style life in a world gone mad with equality. For that reason, it was destroyed. The enemies of civilization who did so much to destroy Britain with Levelling and America with the Civil Rights Act turned their fire on it, demanding it give in to what everyone knew would be "one man, one vote, one time" mass democracy. The Rhodesians refused. They chose to resist. They chose to fight for their nation. For their "Responsible Government". For the last flickering flame of what Western Civilization had always been--the cultivation of excellence directed towards human flourishing, and against the Levelling egalitarianism of the race communist menace they faced. For 15 years they fought, winning battles with casualty ratios so lopsided their enemies could invent propaganda claiming (falsely) that they had slain non-combatants. But it wasn't enough. They were overwhelmed, engulfed by forces backed by the entire world and stabbed in the back by their South African allies when the critical moment came in 1975. Betrayed, surrounded, and cut off, they fought on from 1975 to 1980 anyway, but in the end the odds told and the last little flame of excellence was snuffed by Mugabe and his equity. And so now there is Zimbabwe instead of Rhodesia, a land characterized by tyranny rather than ordered liberty, famine rather than prosperity, expropriation rather than well-tended property, and anarchy rather than order. Such is the threat we face to what remains of our civilization as well.

We are all Rhodesians now, for our enemies wish to do to us what they did to create Zimbabwe: erase every form of natural distinction, excellence, or greatness to replace it with the stultifying muck of equality.
