Some of the most civilized and highly organized cultures, like Carthage at its wealthiest, had human sacrifice at its worst. Culture, like science, is no protection against demons.
Everybody is talking, with a not unnatural excitement, about the wonderful opportunity which broadcasting will give us to send our words to a remote continent. Nobody seems concerned to ask whether we've anything to say even to the next street, let alone to the remote continent.
I am in favor of any and all new ideas to grow racing and increase interest in our sport. So I welcome The Thoroughbred Series introduced by Churchill and the NYRA and I look forward to competing in the new series.
But the greatest achievement in racing will always be winning the Triple Crown - The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. The Triple Crown has sustained our sport for more than 150 years, and it will continue to do so for another 150 or more, if we appreciate it and care for it.
The Preakness is integral to racing’s history, present, and future, and I hope nothing detracts from its significance. If I have the right horse, I’ll continue to run in Baltimore every May, as well as in The Thoroughbred Series.
There never was a power so great as the power of the Press. There never was a belief so superstitious as the universal belief in the Press. Maybe future centuries will call these the Dark Ages, and see a vast mystical delusion spreading its black bats' wings over all our cities.
The most important thing for you to understand about the Boomer-Cons is their unique lexicon:
What they call “conservatism” is the conservation of the political establishment that has managed American decline since the end of WWII, and opposing efforts to reform the system by implementing America-First principles.
When they say “Capitalism,” they mean the predatory globalist financial system, tied to the Fed and fiat currency, that treats the U.S. like a borderless economic zone and Americans like debt cattle. They want you to believe that rejecting your own self-interests is proof of your patriotism.
When they say “woke right,” they mean Americans for American interests, and preservation of American culture against global colonization.
When they say “dissidents,” they mean Americans who don’t trust the same managerial class who ruined our country to fix it.
When they say “isolationists,” they refer to Americans who don’t think we should engage in foreign entanglements that strangle American sovereignty, ruin our economy, inflate our currency, and serve the interests of another country.
They pretended to be on Team Trump, because like all establishment cockroaches, they don’t know how to survive outside the power base. They’ll conform however they need to, for a time, to keep sucking at the teat of government power. And right now, they’re preparing for life after Trump, and want to end the populist uprising that elected him thrice.
They are corporate-sponsored, globalist-owned faux conservatives who desperately need you to confuse protection of the Establishment with patriotism.
It’s incumbent - on all of us - to lay an axe to the root of the Post War Consensus world order that has simultaneously enriched them and crushed the rest of us, and cut it down.
Dan’s fight is our best chance for accountability. He’s suing Pfizer - in Canada, where it’s allowed - over the death of his 17 year old son. Watch and share the documentary “The Shot” to support his effort.

History was made Saturday at Churchill Downs. But the Kentucky Derby is more than two minutes.
Cherie DeVaux’s journey to the gate. Jose Ortiz in pursuit of a rare Derby/Oaks double. And a run from last to first that will be remembered forever.
This is how Golden Tempo turned a chance into a Kentucky Derby victory: https://t.co/gWplHQSseS
