Tipping Point for the Elite

Commentary The most striking reality of our present day is the mass discrediting of entrenched elites across all professions: government, education, media, and professional realms. For almost three years, they all burrowed down on a handful of narratives that have proven completely false. In the history of science, or the history of politics, this represents…


The Rise of Global Feudalism

Commentary Is “global feudalism” on the horizon? It sure looks that way. I use the term “global feudalism” because it describes what seems to occur with the rise of the technocratic state and the undeniably powerful influence of political and industrial elites over the lives of the average person. Feudalism 101 Feudalism, you may recall, was…


Rex Murphy: ‘Elite’ in the Current Discourse Is No Compliment

Commentary Remember Saint Barack Obama’s cocky “I’ve got a phone and a pen”? That was the light-worker’s way of saying if he couldn’t get what he legislatively wanted through Congress and the normal conventions of Washington law-making, then he would arrogate to himself the power to do so. Mr. Obama was the progressive of all…


Fearful Elites Shield Globalization From Democracy

Are ordinary people served or threatened by globalization? The term itself, of course, means different things depending on who is using it.

China and the Great American Sellout

Commentary Predicting the rise of the world’s largest prison nation to global dominance is a dreary proposition. Under Xi Jinping’s rule, China’s economic development hasn’t just been about GDP growth and technology theft just for the sake of advancement. Living the Beijing Dream It’s really about running the world. That’s what Xi’s “Beijing Dream” is…


Peter Schweizer’s Book ‘Red-Handed’ Exposes CCP Influence on American Elites

America is under attack. The Chinese Communist Party has gotten in the pockets of American elites by giving them lucrative policies in China and false promises. The United States has entangled itself with the devil. What is the intention of the CCP in undoing the moral fabric of this society? I am joined by author…


The People and the Elite 

Commentary In this sorry time of cancellation and political correctness, as we watch a college dean suspend a professor because a few students complained about his insensitivity, or as we listen to a CEO intone his company’s commitment to social justice, or observe Democrat leaders don an African scarf and bend a knee, two reactions…


Here Come ‘The New Cavaliers!’

Commentary Travis Perry holds an MA in history and answers questions on the website Quora. I have just read his short answer comparing Roundheads and Cavaliers during the English Civil War (1642–1651), a war that pit Puritans against Royalists, supporters of Parliament versus supporters of the King, Bible thumpers versus aristocrats, the emerging gentry and…
