7 Signs of Controlled Opposition
by Rathaus Gambit Controlled Opposition are the guys they send to appeal to your sensibilities on Current Thing. They distract the people that might oppose Current Thing by posing as champions of the dissenting faction.

An American Fairy Tale
by Rogue Dash J.R.R. Tolkien famously hated Walt Disney’s fairy tales. It wasn’t just that Disney changed the particulars of the tale, or dumbed it down for children. Disney also changed the spirit of those old tales. Disney was telling his fairy tales to Americans, and Americans are a relentlessly optimistic people. Colonists and pioneers,…
Deceit
by Liberta1787 Gandalf warned King Theoden, “To crooked eyes truth may wear a wry face.” We have had crooked eyes most of our lives, having been carefully trained to see what is in front of us in the physical world, rather than seeing what is behind it, leaking through, from the spiritual world.

But they hardly sprang full-grown from the brow of Zeus; generations of preparation were needed to produce this g-g-g-generation of self-congratulatory, blind, narcissistic, super-annuated children. If we do not see what transpired to create the Boomers, we have no chance to restructure…

Pascal’s Wager
by Roguedash1 Preface: I had written this for my now defunct blog many, many years ago and thought it worth recovering from the Internet dustbin. I’m pretty sure it’s from the 2007 or 2008 timeframe. It’s provided unedited (except for a couple of typos). The pictures are new, though. * * * …
