Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.
The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.
@brianclegg By coincidence (though not entirely, since it was prompted by a previous discussion with you) I ordered a second-hand copy from eBay just yesterday evening, before you posted this review - so I'm glad it's such a good one!
@brianclegg@BBCNews To be pedantic there are two ways the Moon's far side is dark. To observers on Earth, it's dark in the sense of unknown, like the Dark Ages; (2) To observers on the Moon, it's the only side that ever gets totally dark, the near side being illuminated by Earthshine even at night.
Review: The Antigravity Enigma: @DrAndrewMay ****- Examines the role of antigravity in fiction, physics & fringe science, from our understanding of gravity to conspiracy theories. Particularly interesting on the fringe material https://t.co/z9SXDmG5s7 #bookreview#popularscience

In case you are out-saccharined by Christmas fare, @DrAndrewMay has assembled a collection of Temptation of St Anthony paintings with a digital soundtrack starting but deviating from Brahms: it's something when Hieronymous Bosch is one of the least weird: https://t.co/DZqXf3gqv4

Review by @DrAndrewMay - Entropy: a very short introduction: James Binney **** - Some fascinating insights, but primarily an effective crash course in entropy for serious readers, not a popular science exploration. https://t.co/4nqIIakAA4 #bookreview#popularscience#physics
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
Review by @DrAndrewMay - The Solar System: William Sheehan & Clifford Cunningham *** - If you are interested in basics on components of the solar system, it's good, but very limited on the solar system as a whole, which is a shame. https://t.co/m6NdtZZ96q #bookreview#astronomy
