I feel like it’s finally safe to say this out loud: The COVID era was a time of staggering overreach and repeated, official betrayal. They took our freedom, our livelihoods, and our trust, and no one has answered for it.
We were forced into isolation, fueling a massive psychological crisis. Beaches, parks, and trails where transmission was virtually impossible were closed, ignoring the crucial role of sunlight and Vitamin D for immune function.
The government and employers forced vaccine mandates, making millions choose between a medical treatment lacking long-term safety data and their ability to feed their families. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies were granted total immunity from liability.
If you had a severe vaccine reaction, you were on your own. When people tried to share these stories of big tech silenced them and deleted their accounts.
The architects of these policies, like Dr. Fauci, shifted goalposts constantly. He received a preemptive presidential pardon from Joe Biden, and when recently questioned by Congress, pleaded the Fifth Amendment 111 times.
The biggest failure? We knew early on that metabolic dysfunction was a massive risk factor for severe COVID. Yet public health officials stayed completely silent on the importance of quality food, exercise, and true metabolic resilience.
Instagram deleted my account in 2021 for pointing all of these things out. YouTube deleted multiple videos on these topics.
We all lost something during those years. Whether it was someone you loved, your job, your sovereignty, or your health... I am truly sorry for your loss.
If all of this makes you angry, you’re my kind of people.
Let's make sure this never happens again.
So let me get this straight:
It is possible for COVID mRNA vaccines to cause blood clots, thrombosis, myocarditis (inflammation of the heart)— and many other documented side effects.
But there are doctors out there who deny with certainty and insist no woman could have suffered a miscarriage because of the COVID vaccine.
Seriously, HOW ON EARTH did these people get into medical school, and then qualify as doctors? Scary stuff.
The Restoring the West Manifesto
I spent the first part of my life living under oppression. I know what it means to be silenced, to have your freedom stolen, to watch a civilization reject the very values that make human flourishing possible.
I also know what it means to be free. And I know that freedom is not inevitable — it must be defended, understood, and taught anew to every generation.
The West is at risk of losing that fight. And too many people who should be leading the defense have no idea how to do so.
That’s why we’re launching Restoring the West.
The Crisis We Face
The civilization that gave the world individual liberty, the rule of law, scientific inquiry, and human dignity is under siege — not primarily from external enemies, but from internal collapse.
Many of our institutions have been captured. Too many of our universities teach students to despise their own inheritance of broad thought and discourse. Our media amplifies every grievance to leftist ideology, while ignoring threats from intolerant ideologies and forces. Our leaders lack the moral vocabulary and fortitude to defend what we’ve built.
Meanwhile, illiberal ideologies — from political Islamism to postmodern identity politics — advance unchecked, demanding submission to group identity over individual conscience, censorship over free speech, and tribal loyalty over universal human rights.
Classical liberals and conservatives? Too often, we’re losing. We win elections but lose the culture. We defend policies but surrender the principles. We react to provocations but fail to plant ideas that endure. We even wage wars to liberate oppressed people in other nations, yet we fail to explain—both to outsiders and to our own citizens—the moral absolutes that demand we use our power against evil, such as the death cult that served as the operating system of Iran’s Islamist regime.
The West will not be restored by winning news cycles. It will be restored by winning the argument for why the West is worth preserving.
Our Guiding Principles:
DEFEND JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES, UNAPOLOGETICALLY
The features that have uniquely made our civilization a place where all can flourish are rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition: individual liberty, equality before the law, freedom of conscience and expression, and the dignity of every human being. These values built free societies. These values are now under attack. We will defend them without apology or equivocation.
FIGHT ILLIBERALISM IN ALL ITS FORMS
Whether cloaked in religious orthodoxy or academic jargon, illiberalism seeks the same end: the suppression of individual freedom in service of collective control. We oppose political Islam, which seeks to impose religious law on free societies. We oppose postmodern ideologies that replace individual rights with identity hierarchies. We refuse to choose between these threats. We recognize them both as enemies of Western civilization.
PLANT IDEAS THAT ENDURE
This publication is not about outrage or affirmation. It's about intellectual ammunition. Every piece we publish will advance a clear argument, address serious objections, and connect to the project of civilizational renewal. We write for people who need to be persuaded, not just people who already agree. Our goal is to shape minds, change debates, and arm veterans and new generations for the work ahead.
SPEAK WITH MORAL CLARITY
I did not escape one form of oppression to tolerate another. I will not pretend that all cultures are equal, that all ideas are equally valid, or that we can restore the West through euphemism and evasion. Moral clarity is not extremism — it's the precondition for moral action. We will say what is true, even when the truth is uncomfortable.
FIVE PILLARS, ONE MISSION
Everything we publish connects to the civilizational foundations we must restore:
Faith & Family - The roots of free societies
Education - Where the future is won or lost
Law & Liberty - Without which we are subjects, not citizens
Nation & Citizenship - The framework for self-governance
Media, Arts & Culture - Where values are formed or deformed
These aren't talking points. These are the fronts in a war for civilization itself.
SMART BREVITY, SERIOUS PURPOSE
Busy people need clear arguments, not bloated essays. We respect your time by making every word count. But efficiency serves substance, not the other way around. We will never sacrifice intellectual rigor for algorithmic reach or dumb down complex arguments for easier consumption. Excellence is the standard we want restored in our civilization — it’s the standard we hold ourselves to here.
Why This Matters
I have seen what happens when civilizations abandon their principles. I have lived under the thuggish sandal of illiberalism. I know the price of freedom because I know what life costs without it.
Too many of the institutions that once defended Western civilization have failed or been captured. The task of restoration falls to us — to those who understand what’s at stake and refuse to surrender what generations before us built and bled for.
This is not pessimism. This is realism coupled with resolve.
The West can be saved. But only if we’re willing to make the argument for why it deserves to be saved — and then do the work required to save it.
Welcome to Restoring the West.

The most important and eye opening 6 minutes you will listen to today.
Dr. Charles Hoffe who is a family doctor from Southern British Columbia describes how he was told never to speak badly about the vaccine even though his patients were experiencing adverse reactions to them. On top of it, all of is adverse side effects reports he submitted were censored.
What went on during this time was criminal.
"Most published research findings are false."
Say that out loud in a hospital and you'd get laughed out of the room. That's the actual title of a paper by John Ioannidis at Stanford, whom Dr. Aseem Malhotra calls the most cited medical researcher alive.
The greater the financial interest in a field, the less likely its research is to be true.
Doctors treat the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and The Lancet like biblical truth. They don't realize how much of it is corrupted by vested interests.
Dr. Malhotra spent years treating those journals as gospel. Then he realized what he was actually reading: studies bought and shaped by the people who profit from them.
He isn't saying doctors are bad. He's saying they're being manipulated and don't know it.
This is an interesting interview. Neither of them has a scientific background, yet both are rock-solid convinced they’re right. How is that possible?
Well, you’ve got those who suffer from intellectual laziness and just blindly lean on big names, famous institutes or organisations, and data that looks convincing at first glance, like ´protection against severe disease’ -which, on closer inspection and over the longer term, turns out to be one of the most alarming ‘side effects’ of the C-19 mass vaccination as it got triggered by vaccine-induced immune refocusing.
In contrast to the people who almost instinctively felt something was smelling fishy off from the start and, therefore, did their own research, the first group simply continues to repeat whatever mainstream brainwash is being served up that day. The emptier the brain, the more arrogant the argument tends to sound.
The second group is a small minority. I feel lucky to have got to know many of them and even to count some as friends. They’re the real intellectual elite. These are the people who, despite having zero formal biological or scientific training, refused to settle for the naïve barking of the MSM. They did their own research, weighed the conflicting opinions, hit us with a steady stream of common-sense questions, joined the courses and seminars we ran, and wouldn’t rest until they’d acquired enough knowledge to puncture the MSM’s veil of mysterious, contradictory, or outright ridiculous claims.
I have a lot of admiration for them. RFK Jr. is one of them.
And when -just once in a while- an actual debate between the two groups does take place (something that has been systematically denied to us), it very quickly becomes obvious who knows what he’s talking about and who’s just the ape copying all the other apes.
The most striking part is still that D. Bash is so breathtakingly stupid that she apparently thought she could checkmate someone as thoroughly trained and deeply steeped in the subject as RFK Jr. with a handful of arrogant cliché questions and copy-paste statements.
I’ve reported on Maggie here for years, who’s turning 86 years old & only eats meat.🥩
But she eats nose to tail & ZERO factory Farms, which still causes cancer.
That’s most anything from your grocery store. But EVERYone can buy from their local farm!!
