I co-founded Wikipedia, but an anonymous mob runs the showโand now Iโm banned.
I told the story in the Washington Examiner, out this morning:

It is utterly inappropriate to use my wife's name. She is not a public figure. She doesn't even have a public social media account. She is not the CEO of my business. She doesn't give interviews or seek fame. Your invocation of her here is a sign of your character, as though we needed another.
I was Candace's employer, sure enough. Like many of her former employers, I feel compelled to stand against her public behavior.
Candace is not only a "married woman" or a "pregnant mother." Candace is also a public figure. She is one of the most famous women in the world with one of the largest podcasts on earth. She chooses each day to sit in front of cameras and to engage in public discourse.
I have never once attacked her as a wife or a mother. I don't criticize her for her looks, or her wardrobe, or her sexuality. I don't dig into her family history, cast aspersions on her grandparents, or question whether or not she even loves her husband.
In short, I do not engage in any of the sort of personal slander your tribe levels at Erika Kirk -- all while hiding behind the idea that her role as CEO of TPUSA somehow makes it appropriate to talk about how much or how little she cries at funerals, or whether or not she is a good mother, or if she hugs someone too long, or, you know, if she murdered her husband, or engaged in child sex trafficking, or is a foreign intelligence asset.
I attack Candace's public work -- the lies she tells, the evil she spreads, the hate and the conspiracies she peddles for fame and fortune.
I do so with sadness for the role I played in her career and with sadness for the waste of such talent as she undeniably possesses.
But I do so secure in the knowledge that the lies she -- and you -- popularize can only be defeated with truth.
And so I am happy to share it.
1) We killed about 30% of Japan's entire military aged male population in WW2. They called it the Lost Generation.
2) Japan had an extreme stigma of people who were visibly war veterans, especially those with disabilities.
The violent genocidal Japanese were wiped out in WW2. Due to how Japan fought, the true believers in the cause tended to die in suicidal attacks. Those who didn't were disproportionately the less violent who either avoided service entirely, or didn't fight with conviction. Post war the remaining wounded survivors were shunned by society, didn't have as many kids, and couldn't pass on their culture. Plus of course, it was essentially an unconditional surrender, so on top of these factors the Allies could impose social reforms.
There _are_ remnants of WW2 era violent culture in Japan. I've seen their demonstrations myself. But it's never been able to grow enough to be significant.
3) Japan is populated by smart Shintos/Buddhists rather than Gaza's low-IQ Muslims. Their dominant religions are much better suited to creating a peaceful industrial society, and the population are much more capable of it.
Gaza won't change until Hamas and other Islamic groups are dismantled and everyone involved in them is either killed or otherwise removed from society. And even then, it's probably not going to be enough.
Many podcasters ask me what Delta's number one selection criterion is for a candidate. I think, more than anything, they look for people who do not know the meaning of the word "quit." Whether youโre looking to join Delta or seeking success in any life choice, refusing to quit will take you very far.
The photo is of me coming into the last point on the last day of Delta's Selection and Assessment. I just did 40 miles, carrying 58 pounds in my pack. It took me 15 hours and 15 minutes. I had no idea this was the last day, the finish. I no longer felt that I was connected with my body. I was just moving forward. I didnโt know the meaning of the word โquit.โ
