Hi Mark,
The war drums beating on Venezuela are in line with the "Trump Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine, as outlined in the recently released US National Security Strategy.
While sensible from a purely geopolitical, realpolitik perspective, and potentially a tremendous boon for ExxonMobil and its CIA partners, I'm not sure another regime change / war for oil is what most Americans had in mind when they pulled the lever for Trump. In fact we were promised the opposite.
Has Trump morphed into the perfect instrument of the deep state and intel services, or is this in line with America First and MAGA principles?
Stay safe stay free.

Hello Mark, hope you are feeling well today.
A report I've seen today says
Brown University Received a Letter from 34 Human Rights Groups in August Requesting They Disable Their CCTV System.
a group of far-left human rights advocates (fight for the future) sent a letter to 150 U.S. colleges and universities asking them to disable the CCTV systems to protect "free expression and academic freedom across the country," because "the Trump administration has launched an aggressive campaignagainst US academic institutions."
The motive for the request to disable CCTV systems as stated: "Right now these tools are facilitating the identification and punishment of student protesters, undermining activists' right to anonymity––a right the Supreme Court has affirmed as vital to free expression and political participation."
I guess this is why we do not have any good footage of this man?
Looks like Brown university doesn't want to tell anyone in the public this information if this report is true.

Seems some very talented sleuths have a suspect in the slaying of Ella Cook.
A friend of the 19 year-old murder victim said she was alerted to a possible active-shooter by fellow students using an app, and not by campus police. Now, it seems some internet sleuths are tracking a particular individual from a post made on a firearms related site, and the fact the university is scrubbing their social media faster than Clinton staffers wiped Hillary's emails after the FBI discovered her private server.
Interesting if the individual turns out to be the culprit. (matches the physical description, and the firearms component part is used on a SBR [short-barrel rifle] which is similar to the caliber of ammunition purportedly used in the double-homicide.)

Blasphemy laws were abolished in England and Wales by the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008. They were later abolished in Scotland leaving Northern Ireland as the only part of the United Kingdom where they remain operative.
All the more galling then that Starmer persists with defining "Muslim Hate" rather than Islamophobia which is of course an oxymoron.
It seems to me the only Anglosphere politician that has the cojones to deport Islam entirely is Pauline Hanson.
Any chance of you putting a word in and asking her to stand as UK Prime Minister if the Aussies don't vote her in before 2029 please?
Have a wonderful Christmas Mark.

Mark, what do you think it will take to bend back this arc of anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence?
It just strikes me as the most horribly contrived movement of full-blown hate and especially impossible to understand after what happened on October 7th. I would've imagined much more of an extended outpouring of admiration for the people of Israel and what they've had to endure surrounded by extremist Islamist groups on most sides of their borders. Here's hoping you and yours have the most restful of holidays.

My kids and grandkids listen to everything digitally. They have no actual physical collection of the music they listen to. I fear that all of that will one day be lost at the flip of a switch.

Holiday greetings to you and your family, and best wishes for your stabilization and improvement. I know you have spent quite a bit of time reflecting on your decades ago observations about how western societies would function, or fail to function, now.
So I ask you to cast your gaze ahead 10 years and, as specifically as you can, predict how North America, Europe, and Asia will function in 2035. I recognize, as Yogi Berra said, that prediction is hard, especially of the future. But since your past predictions have lamentably been accurate, why not give it a go?

Mark, you are right about almost everything, often decades in advance, but I recall you being a bit of a squish about what turned out to be an enormously successful bombing of Iran's nuke bunker. Same now for an oil blockade on Venezuela that has a decent chance of forcing out Venezuela's narco-regime in favor of its Nobel prize winning real leader? Part of the good news in the world is much of South America turning to freedom. I've learned it never seems to pay off to try to second-guess Trump's decisions.

It seems that the Carney government is proceeding with the plans of the previous Trudeau regime in trying to enact harsher "hate crime" laws. Canadians are hardly spilling tribal blood on the streets right now, so the whole venture seems pointless and dangerous. Could part of the motive be pandering to selected ethnic groups?
There may be even grimmer reasons. An Australian politician recently stated that Freedom of Speech has to be restrained in order to make a multicultural society function. A plausible excuse for the heavy hand. Ah, the blessings of Diversity.

Even though it may be 20 sod bollocking ... or bollarding ... years late, can't most citizens of the West -- including our elected representatives -- now see the conflict of civilizations being played out on our beaches, city streets, concert venues, and college campuses?
Surely we can finally affirm that Islam is more than just a religion. It is how societies are to be administered, in clear violation of the West's long tradition of separating what is Cesar's from what is God's. It most assuredly contradicts America's preclusion against any official establishment of religion, as enshrined in ... well ... don't mean to waive that silly parchment at you, Mark!
What will it take for us to rekindle our civic pride in defense of Western Civ? Is that even possible, given two generations of leftwing indoctrination that has been forced-fed us through our public schools, blurring civilizational distinctions and explicitly rejecting our own heritage?

Hello Mark,
What motivates leaders in the West to actively encourage or passively allow mass migration of from the Third World and majority Muslim countries?
Surely, some wish to dismantle Western societies, but I hope this is a smallish minority.
Some may truly believe diversity will improve the West. However, this notion is contrary to human history where the merging of immiscible cultures ultimately results in continuous conflict, if not ruin.
Maybe best to more simply follow the money. Leaders and parties will not endure when the social welfare states crumble due to demographic decline. So, leaders in the West support mass migration to prop up the Ponzi scheme just to keep the entitlement checks from bouncing for a few more years. The leaders will keep their power and privilege even as the citizens suffer from the resulting crime, terror and societal upheaval . That being the case, what else might they support when the end game of the social welfare state arrives?

I've been contemplating on why perhaps muslims do not assimilate well in the West in view of our history in America going back to the Great Awakening and the spiritual struggles of our country in the Civil War period. Most Americans hitherto have in some greater or lesser way been separated from the religion and spiritual tradition of their birth, and the way they deal with their lives is to search for some way of believing or living, not necessarily to get ito heaven, but to find a right way of living. We react to our separation by searching. Islam on the other hand, can find nothing of value in the West. Muslims react to separation not by seeking, but by obedience to the traditions of Islam. Islam seems to be a religion of commandments that must be carried out. Doing this provides solace and connection to what they've left behind, but it doesn't help them appreciate or accept new ways of thinking. Do you think this could be one of the reasons why accolytes of Islam are unable to fully assimilate and integrate into America?

Mark,
You've already got Air Chief Marshal Knighton's exhortation to sacrifice well-covered. You may be interested in a nearly two-hundred-year-old parallel also involving Russia, and not putting us in a very good light ...
We've heard this before. There's a sobering parallel from the eve of the Crimean War. Nicholas I's quasi-Trumpian reaction to the first night of Gogol's Government Inspector suggests that he might come out ahead if you had to choose between him, Putin, and Sir Keir Stabber.
The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, mainly responsible for the Sutherland clearances are among the most reviled figures in Scottish history. The Grauniadofcomthingies on top of the British establishment and military might be horrified at being compared to the Sutherlands, but it rings true:
When the then Duke tried to gather troops for the Crimean War from amongst his poverty-stricken remaining tenants, an old Highlander on the estate had this to say:
"I do assure your Grace that it is the prevailing opinion in this country, that should the Czar of Russia [Putin?] take possession of Dunrobin Castle [Rotherham?] and of Stafford House [Telford?] next term, that we could not expect worse treatment at his hands, than we have experienced at the hands of your family [the Grauniadofcom establishment?] for the last fifty years.
You ... have desolated the glens and straths of Sutherland .... How could your Grace expect to find men where they are not, ...
Another quote from the same period, more in-yer-face:
"We have no country to fight for! You robbed us of our country and gave it to the sheep [illegal invaders]. Therefore , since you have preferred sheep [invaders] to men [us] let sheep [invaders] defend you!"
The stupidity - yeah - of the Grauniadofcom establishment is manifest in the fact that the Sutherland Clearances only covered a small area of the UK, and a small portion of the population, but the conditions cited by modern critics cover most of the country.

Dear Mark,
I'm in a rather black mood today, having finished my legalism school final exams and the shooting in Australia. Please forgive the dark tone.
I want to respond to the gentleman who brought up the issue of the "special relationship" between the United States and the United Kingdom. It is not a special relationship, but an abusive marriage in which a violent and controlling husband cows his wife.
This abusive relationship began when Eisenhower threatened to sink the sterling, and it has continued with the Americans stomping about the globe like bulls in an antique shop and waving around their constitution while battered and morally broken England looks on helplessly.
America does this with all its spouses, and those who fight back, like the Confederacy, are violently beaten to death in a fit of moralistic rage.
The British nation, particularly the Torries and the King himself or his successor, need to get real and end this abusive relationship if they want to save themselves. Of course, America would then turn Britain into Syria or Ukraine.
Hoping you stay well.
