Today I got to see an example of arete in action. Mrs. Surak’s car and my own both became disabled by Friday afternoon. This afternoon I called our automobile club. He changed the tire on my car and charged the battery on her car. He then asked if there was anything else he could do for us. He seemed to be having a busy day. From the time he arrived until his departure could not have been more than 10 minutes. This incident gave me some reassurance that white men can survive the hostility of the academic world.
Here is an example of heroic excellence, in the magnificent person of Pastor Artur Pawlowski, the Polish immigrant to Canada who sought refuge from communism. Listen to his inspiring presentation. 10 minutes.

A trio of VERY long essays by David Collum, but entertaining, informative, well-documented and well-illustrated. “2021 Year in Review: Crisis of Authority and the Age of Narratives“, “2021 Year in Review: The Rise of Centralized Healthcare“, “Dave Collum Year in Review 2021 – Rise of Global Authoritarianism” This is where you will find all the links for all the arguments with all your acquaintances about every issue. Part 2 focuses on the pandemic response.
Racial segregation in the schools, practiced by Democrats, as usual.

“Study Finds Girls Less Likely To Want STEM Jobs In All 80 Countries Surveyed” Obviously, there is never a justification for discrimination. On the other hand, we should not be shocked if people choose careers that do not match their proportions in the population.

Last Friday’s job report is causing many economists to scratch their heads. The reason is the annual adjustment to the seasonal adjustment factor. The Labor Department managed to conclude that their estimates for the employment level throughout the year erred by an average of 366,000 every month – not encouraging.
“A California pre-school is closed because two-year-olds won’t wear masks” “A California Christian preschool director has been barred from ever working with children again after she ‘failed to encourage’ two-year-olds to wear face masks in class. Tiffany McHugh, the director of Foothills Christian Church Preschool in San Diego, had her license stripped after the Department of Social Services shut down the preschool because McHugh couldn’t get students to keep their masks on. ‘We were coming up against a lot of parents who didn’t want their children to be masked that young,’ McHugh told CBS 8. ‘There were a lot of children who were just too young to wear masks, they pull them off. It’s really difficult.'”

“After 28 Days on Ventilator, Family Loses Legal Battle to Try Ivermectin, Other Alternative Treatments, for Dying Father” Again – they really want you dead. This is in Florida – paging Governor DeSantis!
“Two Omicron Studies Are Fantastic News That Should End Mandates and Restrictions” Great news for us, terrifying news for the elites, who are desperate not to lose control. Watch for stories about uninjected people dying from CoVID. Ask – were these people properly treated?
“What’s Next for OSHA on COVID Vaccine Mandates?” “When all is said and done, with the imprimatur of the Supreme Court and the support of the Bidenites, my money is on blue states being so drunk with power that they make life in Australia and Canada look like nirvana. Unless dips in election polling and approval numbers sober them up, it’s time to pack your bags and head for freedom in the red states.” Mrs. Surak and I are looking – casually, at the moment – but looking.
“Our Post-COVID Loss of Liberty” Paraphrasing de Tocqueville: “If America in 2022 is anything, it’s an innumerable crowd of people who seek equality amongst themselves, and they are anxiously self-absorbed, securing their own vulgar pleasures in an effort to fill the spiritual hole which would have once been occupied by God. And many of them seem to want nothing more than having an elevated government power which can both assure their enjoyment and issue soothing bromides about how it’s watching over their fate.”
“Munchausen’s White House” “People with Munchausen by Proxy (MSP) enjoy medical and hospital environments, seek close relationships with medical personnel and revel in being admired as devoted caregivers who have turned over their lives to care for sick family members. The MSP abuser fears that his victim will be given the appropriate treatments and recover, thereby risking the discovery of his malignant mishandling of another’s health.” Sound familiar?
GB News’s Neil Oliver tells a painful story about the personal effects of bureaucrats’ policies “for our own good”.
“Has a New “Xi’an City” COVID Variant with Ebola-like Symptoms Escaped China?” Potential cause for concern. It may have appeared in Brazil. What is going on?
Empty shelves at grocery stores. This is really ABC?
“Current Term Enrollment Estimates” “Higher education enrollment fell a further 2.7 percent in the fall of 2021 following a 2.5 percent drop in the preceding fall. Continued enrollment losses in the pandemic represent a total two-year decline of 5.1 percent or 938,000 students since fall 2019” – with men dropping out of higher ed more than women. I wonder why.
“The Selective Bigotry of the Campus Diversity Industry” One of several recent articles targeting anti-Semitism in the diversity-inclusion-equity (DIE) and justice industry. The implication has been that if only they were not so anti-Semitic, then it would be acceptable. Not to me. I find the whole DIE-justice industry inherently bigoted.
“Teacher alleges she was fired for not ‘meowing’ back at student who identifies as a cat” I thought this was a joke. Apparently not. Can we put the student on a leash?
This one’s for you, Wolfie! “Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin Signals New Leadership with 11 Executive Actions on First Day” He banned critical racism theory, mask mandates, and injection mandates. Talk about hitting the ground running!
Bonus for the Virginians: “Virginia’s new AG Jason Miyares announces major investigations within hours of taking office” The man fired the top staff in the VA AG office. THIS is what Trump should have done in January, 2017!
America’s next awesome governor: “Kari Lake Plans to Circumvent Feds on Border Policy Through an Interstate Compact” Careful. An interstate compact requires the approval of Congress. “Lake took a strong stance against all health mandates. “We will not have our kids being forced to wear filthy masks. We will not have our boss force us to put a swab up our nose for the rest of our lives or shot in our arm in order to earn a living,” Lake said. She also promised to open up the exemptions for more than just religious reasons. “We’re gonna find a way through legislation to make so many ways to get out of that mandate besides a religious exemptions. We’ll have exemptions for everything,” she said.”
Defund the FBI, a political agency being paid by taxpayers.
I cannot stress this point enough: If your presidential candidate does not make the FBI a major platform for his campaign, your candidate should not be considered. I don’t care who it is. Trump, DeSantis, anyone.
Reform or disband the FBI now. Read a history book. Must be done.
“USA Today Column Calls For California to “Abolish Parenthood”” Tell me again about how you want to stay in the same country with them… I know, you have a plan to defeat them. I’m all ears!
“Freedom Is the Answer” “I never wanted to live in a world with mass loss of trust in everything that so many generations worked so hard for so long to build. But that is where we are. Now is the time for resilience and fortitude, and all the other virtues taught to us by the ancients.” He advocates for cryptocurrency. I don’t know.
After some reflection, I have realized that no journal is going to publish my discovery of the positive relation between CoVID injections and new cases of CoVID. I discussed this matter with you about three weeks ago. You might as well see the graph and look for yourselves.
The data came from a scientific paper that has gotten attention on several blogs, including this one. The authors studied 68 countries, their “vaccination” rates (per million population), and the rates of new cases of CoVID (per million population). While it was their hope that “vaccination” would result in lower case numbers (a negative association), they announced that they could find no negative association. They admitted that there was a “marginal” positive association, but went no further.
Sadly, many consumers of statistics – and believe it or not, even many statisticians themselves – lack a firm mathematical foundation. To detect the type of relation they sought, certain transformations of the original variables needed to be calculated, using simple high school algebra. I did those calculations and displayed the result in the graph above.
The horizontal axis is a transformed version of the “vaccination” rate, with highly “vaccinated” countries towards the right side. The vertical axis is a transformed version of the new case rate, with higher incidence of CoVID towards the upper side. You can see Israel in the upper right, with the highest new case rate of the 68 countries in the study, “despite” the high injection rate.
R-squared is a measure of the predictive power of the model, on a scale from 0 to 1. R-squared at 24% does not sound impressive, but it is. With a group of 68 observations from two totally unrelated variables, one would expect to see such a close relation only 0.002% of the time. This causes us to conclude that there probably is some connection between the variables – but what?
Correlation does not imply causation. We are not allowed to say, merely because of the data, that higher injection rates cause vulnerability to new cases. We are, however, required to investigate aggressively. It is possible that there is a hidden variable driving the two variables on the graph, such as advanced detection systems. But then how do you explain Taiwan and Hong Kong, near the bottom of the graph, and their low new case rates?
This subject invites further detailed discussion – but there is other news. I gave the correct dates but wrong weekdays for the American general strike: Mon. Nov. 8 – Thu. Nov. 11.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: “SABOTAGE SUSPECTED: Global fertilizer production plants halted, delivery trains crashing, operations compromised, all leading to FOOD CROP FAILURES in 2022“
ESSENTIAL LISTENING: In this 18-minute video, the lovely Canadian philosophy professor Dr. Julie Ponesse, who was fired by her university lays out what is at risk if we just surrender and comply. Our politicians, bureaucrats, media, educators, and entertainers should be strapped into seats, muzzled, and forced to listen to this gentle but firm assertion of civilization. Without it, we are mere animals. Outstanding!
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: “ERs Are Swamped With Seriously Ill Patients, Although Many Don’t Have Covid” It is the tip of the iceberg. They have not yet figured it out.
“OSHA Considering Permanent COVID Vax Rule with 7 Horrifying Requirements for Americans” OSHA would like to remove the testing alternative, and create an absolute mandate. Watch the workforce decrease dramatically if, God forbid, they succeed.
“OSHA Changes Rule That Covers Up Vaccine Injuries, Prevents Workers’ Compensation Claims” “The Occupational Safety and Health Administration amended its injury recording rule in a way that hides the true extent of the damage the COVID vaccine mandate will have on the American workforce.“
Alex Berenson: “The hospitals in Australia are being overrun. Not from CoVID. And no one can explain why.” You will see more of these stories in the coming months. Let’s see how long our best and brightest twist themselves into pretzels avoiding the obvious explanation.
Emerald Robinson, a Newsmax reporter, was suspended by Newsmax for doing reporting. Makes sense. “What is Luciferase?” It is not mythical; it’s an enzyme. Read more…
Now you tell us? “Italian Institute of Health Drastically Reduces Its Official COVID Death Toll Number” Drastically = reduced by 97%, to 3% of the original value. NOW? How about in America? Can we do that here too?
“Rise of the Vaccine Bullies” “If you will not fight for the right when youcan easily win without bloodshed, if you willnot fight when your victory will be sure andnot so costly, you may come to the moment whenyou will have to fight with all the odds againstyou and only a precarious chance for survival.There may be a worse case. You may have to fightwhen there is no chance of victory, because it isbetter to perish than to live as slaves. —Winston Churchill“

The tender sensibilities of the left are hurt by NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and his insistence that Christian patriots stand up and take back America. A similar statement on behalf of atheists would be met with a yawn by the establishment.

“The Intentional Destabilization of America” “The attacks on America are not accidental nor the result of ignorance and stupidity. No, the attacks are intentional and strategic. The goal is the transformation of America, which would be made possible by the destruction of America’s core institutions.”
“Second-Class Citizens in Biden’s America” “…the collective standing of today’s so-called deplorables is being increasingly relegated by our political system to expendables.”
“How Much Would You Like to Be a Serf?” “The leaders of today’s Democrat party view themselves as more intelligent and entitled than the mass of deplorables whom they were born to govern. Not just that: The intelligentsia is determined to eliminate the middle class, whose values and political interests are so much opposed to their own insistence on centralized control.”
“Igor Danchenko Arrested as Part of Durham Investigation” What I love about this is that now near the end of 2021, we are making some progress in having the justice system address the crimes surrounding the 2016 election.
Twitter and Facebook have pre-judged the Kyle Rittenhouse case and are starting to censor people from even discussing the matter unless you agree with the approved position
Yet another one of those multi-talented writers in finance and economics digs into the basics of how to do a real end run around America’s failing “educational” (indoctrination) system. Nathan Lewis wrote a series of 14 practical articles with the goal of not reforming an existing college, but starting from scratch.
I urge you to watch his first video, at 5 minutes 19 seconds: “5 DOCTORS SURROUND MAN IN HOSPITAL ROOM AND FORCE COVID VACCINATION ON HIM” You need to mentally prepare now. What would you do in such a setting if they did that to you or your loved one?
One more comment on that story. When you or your loved one goes into the hospital or clinic, you sign a form consenting to any and all treatment the facility deems necessary for your health. You should write on that form “I DO NOT PERMIT COVID VACCINATION”. Take a picture of the amended form for your records.

“COVID Authoritarianism Has Changed Our Polity” Oh, how quaint. Our polity? Is that one of those words invented by dead white European males? It suggests a concern over governing with the consent of the governed. Only white supremacists care about stuff like that!
