UNBELIEVABLE: Roughly 60,000 fewer Americans A YEAR died of drug overdoses because Trump closed the border.

It's an astounding accomplishment.

[Jonathan Cohler @cohler]

THE BIGGEST LIE EVER TOLD
The IPCC has nothing.

Forty years of civilizational alarm. Trillions of dollars redirected. Energy systems dismantled. Farmers crushed. Children taught to fear the sky. Political freedom surrendered. Reproductive choices second-guessed. Entire economies rewired.

For nothing.

There is no empirical finding underneath any of it. None. Not one measurement, standing on its own, that would move a reasonable person to alarm.

The entire structure is manufactured.

Ask for one item. True without a model. Significant without a redefinition. Measured without extrapolation. Able to stand alone and matter to a parent, a farmer, a shipowner, an engineer, a legislator.

The honest inventory is three measurements. Not one of them means anything by itself.

CO₂ rose from 315 to 425 ppm since 1958. Plants grew better. Nothing bad happened that follows from the number.

Humans emit about 10 GtC/yr from combustion. A flux figure. By itself it tells you nothing.

CO₂ absorbs infrared on known bands. Water vapor absorbs far more. A spectroscopic line is not a consequence.

That is it. The entire empirical pile. Three measurements. Zero significance.

Everything else they have told you is one of three tricks.

Model output passed off as observation. Climate sensitivity. Airborne fraction read as retention. Revelle-limited uptake. Millennial persistence. Attribution of warming to forcing. Catastrophic projection. None of this is measured. All of it is what model code returns when they turn its crank. Model output is the model's assumptions integrated forward. It is not testimony from nature. It never was.

Definitional sleight-of-hand. Global mean surface temperature called a physical quantity. It is not. It is an area-weighted arithmetic mean of intensive readings with no thermodynamic referent. The 44 percent ratio of annual growth to annual emission relabeled as an airborne fraction and sold as retention. It carries zero information about retention. Fossil "dominance" quietly redefined from "nearly all" to "a bare majority" so the claim survives data that killed the real version.

Extrapolation sold as measurement. Tide gauges spliced to altimetry and projected as acceleration. Local pH drift at a handful of stations generalized to a planetary crisis. Arctic ice loss broadcast while Antarctic stability is dropped. Retreating glaciers paraded. Advancing ones hidden.

Strip the models. Strip the redefinitions. Strip the extrapolations. The pile is empty.

This is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

The civilizational emergency has no empirical content. It was built by running trivial measurements through model chains and definitional swaps until the output read as apocalypse. Then it was broadcast as settled science. Then dissent was criminalized. Then careers were destroyed. Then children were terrified. Then nations were restructured.

For nothing.

The emperor has no clothes.
The pile is empty.
The alarm is a fabrication.
The greatest lie ever told to the human species was told in the name of saving the planet from a trace gas that feeds every green thing that lives.

That is the headline.
That is the story.
That is what you were never supposed to notice.

Now you know.

SCOTT BESSENT JUST POSTED THIS:

Dear Senator Elizabeth Warren:

I have received your October 7 letter, which adds to the mounting body of evidence of your complete paucity of knowledge about financial markets. Rather than take my suggestion of studying introductory economics, you have continued your letter-writing crusade and participation in tabloid fodder about the Treasury Department.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to treat your concerns as sincere. As the federal funds rate climbed from near zero to its highest level in 22 years, with inflation hitting a 40-year high, you were a cheerleader for the Biden Administration’s reckless spending. You blamed the economic consequences on the Federal Reserve, rather than your own irresponsible fiscal policies. Your view of the economy depends on who occupies the White House, but your woeful understanding of the issues is consistent.

The “interventions” you describe as “unprecedented” have been underway since May 2024. The buyback program has been well received by market participants in bolstering Treasury liquidity, which reduces market volatility, increases the convenience yield of Treasury securities and ensures the best value for the taxpayer. The continued enhancements optimize Treasury market liquidity in primary and secondary markets. The U.S. Treasury market’s liquidity and performance versus global peers is evidence.

While you voted for a $5 trillion tax hike on everyday Americans, the Working Families Tax Cuts continue to deliver for families and workers across the country. The average refund this filing season was over $3,400, an increase of 11 percent over the previous year. More than 30 million workers claimed No Tax on Overtime, more than 7 million claimed No Tax on Tips, and more than 37 million seniors claimed their enhanced deduction. More than 34 million families claimed the permanently enhanced Child Tax Credit, and millions of families are utilizing Trump Accounts to unlock a new savings vehicle for children. All of which you voted against.

These results are made possible by the employees of the Department of the Treasury, who are working around the clock for the American people. Unsurprisingly, you have responded by criticizing their dedication and aptitude for the job in a recent interview.¹ Despite your malign characterization, the Domestic Finance team you alluded to in your interview is fully staffed relative to historical levels. It is ironic that you have voted against every presidential appointee for a position at Treasury, no matter how impressive the qualifications for the role. Given your newfound interest in Department personnel, I challenge you to reverse course and thoughtfully engage with future nominees and support their confirmation.

Finally, my offer of a Foreign Exchange for Dummies tutorial still stands and if you receive a passing grade on the Yale metric, not the Harvard curve, I would be happy to also include a Fixed Income for Dummies.

Sincerely,

Scott Bessent

Britain’s diversity: British influencer Muhammad Saifullah shares how he’d like to see Shariah implemented in the UK to include executions of gays and the torturing of those who leave Islam.

Polling on British Muslims has shown that fundamentalism runs deep and support for Islamic terrorism is shockingly high. Despite that, the country continues to settle large numbers of Muslims every day.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯 @japan_nobunaga]

Explain this to a Japanese person, because we are utterly baffled.

If a foreign network systematically drugged and raped tens of thousands of schoolgirls in Tokyo and Osaka...
If the police covered it up to avoid being called racist...
And if our government then handed citizenship to a foreign militant while letting rape ringleaders walk free...

Our cabinet would fall by midnight.
Every police chief involved would be in prison attire within a week.
The entire country would stand united in unstoppable outrage.

Yet in Britain, you are told to stay polite.
You are told to watch your tone.
You are told that anger makes you "far-right."

At what point did not offending the political elite become more important than the physical bodies of your daughters?

Politeness is a virtue.
Politeness in the face of child sacrifice is complicity.

Funny how a few Europeans going into the Third World and building hospitals, schools and railways, and stimulating commerce, was viewed as colonial exploitation. But uneducated hoards coming to the West these days with their hatred, violence and diseases, and a largely parasitic existence, is not condemned by the authorities. Only, it's not funny. It's abominable and EVIL.

[Paul White Gold Eagle @PaulGoldEagle]

Most people don’t know…
The man who created our current medical system wasn’t even a doctor.

It was John D Rockefeller.
Oil Baron. Entrepreneur. Shark.

And when he began refining oil, he had all these leftover petroleum byproducts that nobody knew what to do with.
Throw them away?
He turned them into synthetics

Then he took over the medical schools 🎓 with his 💰 : rewrote the curriculum , paid off the institutions 💵 , made sure everything revolved around his kind of medicine:
Patent Pending. Synthetic. Profitable.

But real healing?
Gone. Gone.

Herbalism, homeopathy, naturopathy — gone.
Not because it didn’t work. . . . But since it DID
They called it “quackery” banned it from hospitals 🏥 erased it from textbooks

But here’s the crazy thing…

Rockefeller himself continued to use homeopathic and naturopathic doctors for his family.
Because he knew it worked.

He just didn't want you to get it.

Because a patient cured?
That’s a customer lost. 🚫 He didn’t get rich leaving money on the table.

He built a whole system to get repeat customers.
And how you do that is simple:
You don't fix the problem, you manage the symptoms.

Medication For Your Pain
Meds for your mood swings
More meds for the side effects of the first meds :P
And now you’re trapped in the system for life.

It is not a medicine. It’s a business plan.

We’ve been taught to freak out at the first sign of a fever
to stop every cough
To quiet pain, not to ask where it comes from

But symptoms are simply your body talking to you
They are messengers
Cautions
Suggestions
Attempting to get your attention before something worse occurs

But modern medicine?
It does not listen
It muzzles them

Pop a pill.
Neglect the root.
Wait until next month when it’s worse. 📅

And we ask why chronic illness is everyplace?

This system is not broken.
This system is designed that way.

Rockefeller didn’t create this system to cure you
He built this system to hook you. For life. 🪝

This is not about health.
It's about dependence.

True healing begins when you stop silencing the body and begin to listen to it

- Ask why - Support detox - Nourish the deficiencies - Get to the root

Your body is not broken. ❌
It’s a blinder.
It’s been trying to communicate with you this entire time.

The reality is:
The system was never designed to fix you.
But your body was not.

Healing is not about masking symptoms.
It’s about finding the cause.

[Humanspective @Humanspective]

This spine tingling moment just happened at the Sen. Johnson Hospital Protocols Hearing.

I can understand exactly why the room erupted.

Here’s an attorney with 50 years experience.

At the start of covid, he gets flooded with requests to make Hospitals give early treatment protocols.

But the result of his work is the part really blew my mind.

95.8% of the cases he won ,to force the Hospital to administer Ivermectin. Survived.

But then I heard the contrast of what happened when he lost his cases... the patients who had to go with standard of care hospital protocols which included Remdesivir.

[Tony Seruga @TonySeruga]

Victor Davis Hanson Brilliantly Explains Exactly Why Tucker Carlson Turned Rotten

He has planted himself alongside a group of former MAGA allies who appear determined to tear down President Trump, fracture the Republican coalition, and build something new in its place.

And Victor Davis Hanson just gave the clearest explanation I have heard yet for why it happened.

According to Axios, Carlson hosted Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, Joe Kent and others at his home in Maine shortly before unveiling a ten-point vision for America. The group discussed a new political movement and reportedly urged Carlson to consider a 2028 presidential run.

Carlson stopped short of formally launching a party or announcing a candidacy. But the manifesto followed his public promise to help build a third party, and he described his ten points as a foundation for whatever political order comes next.

The plan calls for fairness, sovereignty, productivity, beauty, health, honesty, optimism, wisdom, decency and unity. Beneath those labels are proposals involving border enforcement, American manufacturing, food and health policy, government transparency, foreign influence, immigration and military policy.

The White House answered by calling Carlson’s circle a collection of turncoats who overestimate their influence. President Trump, it said, remains the unquestioned leader of the Republican Party and the MAGA movement.

Here is Tucker presenting that manifesto: https://t.co/JFr0xZ9ga6

Hanson spotted the contradiction immediately: most of Tucker’s supposedly new agenda is already being advanced by President Trump.

Border security. Law and order.

Rebuilding American production. Cleaning up the food supply.

Challenging entrenched institutions. Rejecting DEI. Putting the country first.

So why try to destroy the one political coalition actually moving those ideas?

That is where Hanson cuts through all the noise.

He says the project is politically incoherent. If Tucker’s new party pulled votes from the Republican nominee in 2028, it would not usher in a purer version of America First.

It could hand power to the very Democrats who oppose nearly everything Tucker claims to want.

Hanson walks through the history. Theodore Roosevelt’s third-party run helped Woodrow Wilson win in 1912.

Ross Perot complicated Republican hopes in the 1990s. Ralph Nader’s Green Party run became part of the razor-thin math surrounding Florida in 2000.

The lesson is brutally simple: third parties rarely win the White House. They usually damage the major party closest to them.

But Hanson believes the real fuel here is personal grievance.

Tucker once had extraordinary access to President Trump. He traveled with him, spoke with him directly and enjoyed the kind of proximity to power almost nobody gets.

Then came the break over Iran and Israel.

Hanson’s theory is that all that access created a false sense of influence. Tucker apparently believed the president should take his call, accept his advice and change course.

When President Trump did not, political disagreement curdled into something much uglier.

And then there is Israel.

Hanson argues that anti-Israel hostility has become one of the faction’s organizing forces. In his view, the obsession has grown so consuming that it now overrides political math, gratitude, shared domestic priorities and the danger of returning the radical Left to power

In a transcript published by The Daily Signal, Hanson described Carlson’s political project as a potential spoiler operation. He said its most likely practical effect would be to hurt President Trump’s eventual successor in the 2028 election.

Hanson compared Carlson’s ten-point platform with the Trump Administration’s record and found the overwhelming majority of it already represented inside MAGA.

He pointed specifically to border enforcement, law and order, opposition to DEI and the food and health agenda led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

He then turned to the people gathered around Carlson. Hanson argued that several had once benefited from President Trump’s endorsements, access or appointments, but became bitter after political disagreements or personal setbacks.

Finally, Hanson said hostility toward Israel and antisemitic anger are helping bind the faction together. He warned that their project could damage the agenda they recently called essential while delivering power to opponents who reject almost all of it.

I think Hanson nailed it.

Tucker did not suddenly discover that President Trump was governing like Joe Biden. He did not uncover some massive domestic-policy betrayal that made the Democrats a better option.

He stopped getting his way.

And instead of using his enormous platform to argue his case while helping preserve the only viable America First coalition in the country, he now appears willing to burn that coalition down.

Call it what it is.

Ego dressed up as ideology.

What an excellent way to use AI!

We forget that before Henry Ford brought the Model T to market in 1908 well over 500 car companies had sprung up in America alone, making somewhere in the range of 2000 to 3000 distinct models of vehicles. It was the Wild West days of the automotive industry and it was anyone's guess who would come out on top.

It's exactly the same today in robotics. Seemingly every day a new robotics company is announced with a promise or with a prototype. The variety is huge and the field is wide open. I believe that the Steel Bot robot has just the right mix of features and performance specifications to be widely useful and to dominate in the market.

I'm working with all my being to bring it to fruition.

Don’t miss this important fact that was revealed in the Fauci hearing.

Multiple aides, including his top assistant, have admitted under oath, that Fauci deleted lots of emails and instructed his aides to delete incriminating emails.

That top assistant to Fauci ALREADY has flipped on Fauci, that’s why he has hired such high paid and high profile lawyers.

But here’s the part that the media won’t mention and most people are missing.

We have ALL the emails.

We have ALL the evidence.

Nothing is ever fully deleted.
The NSA captures ALL electronic data.

Some of the Republican Senators were actually reading Fauci’s emails into evidence.
Emails where Fauci was instructing colleagues to delete the emails after reading them.

Oops!

They aren’t deleted.

We have EVERYTHING and it is being rolled out to the public in a strategic and methodical way, in order to bring full transparency BEFORE mass prosecutions.

The American people are being “shown” DECLASSIFIED “evidence” of all the crimes and TREASON.

You can’t just “tell” the American people that these people are GUILTY, you have to “show” them.

That is what it means that we are “watching a movie.”

All planned and timed.

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

I still see people asking “when is something going to happen?”.

It is happening. We are in the DECLAS phase of the operation. The truth is being exposed and relayed to The People.

We have to undo decades of brainwashing. This process cannot be done overnight. It must be done repeatedly, over the course of years, to permanently inject the true reality into the collective consciousness, and override the preexisting programming. [SPACED REPETITIONS]

You might not like it, you might not agree with it, but the individual is irrelevant in this equation. It’s all about the collective. The 100th monkey.

We are witnessing an un-brainwashing operation. Once enough of the brainwashing has been reversed, and The People are intellectually and psychologically prepared, THEN we can proceed to the justice phase.

Class is in session.

[JoeLange @JoeLange]

Everything is planned and timed.

Are you ready for the next ACT?

Fauci is being placed on “center stage.”

There’s a reason this is happening now, months BEFORE the midterms.

The American people are about to be completely FOCUSED on the Covid FRAUD pushed by Fauci.

Congress is playing their vital role in this WAR.

1) Exposure.

A “bullhorn” for the American people finally exposing the truth.

2) Evidence.

Submitting “evidence” into the record for coming prosecutions.

But don’t miss all the “table setting” that has happened BEFORE Fauci is forced to testify.

There’s a reason why Trump, the DOJ and acting DNI Pulte have been dumping “evidence” of the stolen election in 2020, leading up to Fauci’s testimony.

Everything is connected.

When the American people learn the truth about Covid, by comparing Fauci’s “actions” and public statements with his secret private diary compilations, they are going to be outraged.

The American people’s ANGER is going to be FOCUSED on Fauci.

He bragged in his diary about his “celebrity status” and how easy it was to manipulate the shutdowns.

And now he’s going to become even more famous, as the face of the biggest FRAUD ever forced on the world and all the destructive Covid policies.

But Covid is just the DOORWAY to something much bigger.

As the Covid lies get fully exposed, more declassified “evidence” of election fraud in 2020 will be revealed.

Connecting Fauci’s fraudulent Covid scare, with the conspiracy to FORCE nationwide “mail-in ballots,” in order to steal the 2020 election, is what is being rolled out BEFORE the midterms.

Expose Fauci and the Covid lie.

Then expose the nationwide “mail-in ballot” conspiracy to steal the presidential election.

All part of the same conspiracy.

All acts of TREASON.

The Fauci exposure will open the door to two important things.

1) bringing down the corrupt medical/scientific industrial complex.

2) removing the nationwide democrat election fraud system.

5 democrat governors “knowingly” FORCED elderly Covid patients into “nursing homes” instead of hospitals, which increased the “death count” to promote nationwide FEAR.

Fauci and the democrats NEEDED a high death count in order to promote FEAR and mandate nationwide “mail-in ballots.”

They knew they couldn’t win the election without nationwide fraud.

The media helped Fauci promote the FEAR.

And suddenly all the leftwing media refuses to talk about the Fauci diary.

Why?

They were “knowingly” complicit in both the Covid fraud and the stolen election in 2020 and are hoping this Fauci story will quickly pass.

But this story is about to get much bigger.

Fauci got a Biden pardon.
He thinks it’s actually valid, which FORCES him to testify.

TRAP.

He will testify and be vilified.
Biden is ALREADY a millstone around the democrats neck and Fauci is about to become another millstone.

And when the 2020 election is PROVEN to have been stolen, Fauci’s “pardon” will become illegitimate and worthless.

There is a sealed indictment with his name on it.

Same with some of the complicit media members.

How’s Jake Tapper sleeping these days?

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

The Trump administration is exposing the truth about DNC/CCP fraud in the 2020 election, while simultaneously exposing the truth about Fauci and Covid.

This is not an accident. These two things are connected.

The People are being briefed and prepared to be told that Covid was a man-made virus released intentionally, as part of the broader plot to remove Trump from office. The Deep State created and released the virus, as part of a regime-change operation. This was the contingency after their Russiagate/Mueller plan failed.

The virus, along with MSM fear and panic, paved the way for “social distancing”. Social distancing paved the way for emergency election overhaul and mass mail-in ballots. The mass mail-in ballots paved the way for unprecedented levels of fraud, and mail-in ballot dumps in swing states in the middle of the night, which all favored Biden.

Covid, in conjunction with election fraud in 2020, is arguably the greatest crime ever committed against humanity, and all of it was done to stop Donald Trump from exposing and obliterating the Deep State, and the crimes they already committed, like Uranium One.

What we are witnessing now, is Trump and his administration slowly preparing the public to swallow this mammoth-sized red pill. It must be done.

[GINGERSKOL💜💛 @GlowSurfing]

Spot on!! 🎯😎😆

I can’t wait for the comments!!

Nicklas Nilsson explains the difference between right-wing and left-wing people in spot-on text on Facebook:

"If a right-wing person is gay, then he is, and he doesn't care what others think.
If a left-winger is gay, then he demands legal changes, protests against everything and everyone, and turns it into a political struggle.

If a right-winger is vegan, then he simply doesn't eat meat.
If a left-winger is vegan, then he wants to ban meat, halt food production, and protest outside farms and chicken farms.

If a right-winger doesn't like guns, then he just doesn't buy any.
If a left-winger doesn't like guns, then he tries to ban them, prevent everyone else from owning one, and hates those who do.

If a right-winger is worried about the climate, then he flies less, drives an electric car if it suits him, and sorts his waste.

If a left-winger is worried about the climate, then he wants to ban fossil fuel cars, air travel, and meat for everyone else, protest outside factories, and demand that the state forces the change.

If a right-winger wants to give his children a good education, then he moves to an area with good schools, or chooses a private school, or gets involved himself.
If a left-winger wants to give his children a good education, then he demands more tax money from everyone, equal results for all, a ban on charter schools, and protests against every inequality.

If a right-winger complains about his job or workplace.. he doesn't. He changes jobs or starts his own business.
If a left-winger complains about his job – then it's the boss, the company, or the colleagues who are at fault. He demands collective agreements, strikes, changes for the whole community, and protests against the company so that it suits him.

If a right-winger is dissatisfied with his housing or rent, then he moves, renovates, or buys something else.
If a left-winger is dissatisfied with his housing or rent, then he demands rent freezes, more subsidies, regulations for everyone, and protests against landlords and politicians.

If a right-winger fails with a business or an investment that goes wrong, then he gets up, dusts himself off, and tries again tomorrow.
If a left-winger runs out of money on the 24th, then he blames the rich for having too much and needing to contribute more, blames the lottery win that didn't come home last week, and mutters that he has such damn bad luck.

If a right-winger sees this – then he sends it to a few friends for a good laugh.
If a left-winger sees this – then he tries to argue against it, get it removed, and delete me from Facebook."

[Danielle knows a lot @Daniell64334313]

LETS CONNECT THE DOTS…

1: Why did Obama and his allies go to such extremes (possibly even treason) to sabotage Trump before he took office?

Because Trump wasn’t just a political threat.

He was a threat to everything they were hiding.

2: From Bush Sr. to Obama, a decades-long web of corruption, shadow power, and cover-ups ruled Washington.

Trump didn’t play along.

He didn’t need them.

He was the wrecking ball aimed at their entire machine.

3: Bush Sr. laid the foundation—former CIA Director turned President.

Covert wars. Drug trafficking. Money laundering. Off-the-books operations.

The deep state as we know it was built on his watch.

4: The Clinton’s cashed in.

Mena Airport. ChinaGate. The rise of the Clinton Foundation as a global pay-to-play empire.

Every scandal vanished down the memory hole.

Protected. Insulated. Untouchable.

5: Bush Jr. enabled the next phase.

9/11 gave them the excuse.

Surveillance exploded. Patriot Act. Black sites. Secret kill lists.

The military-industrial complex raked in trillions while Americans gave up their rights.

6: Obama sealed the system.

He promised hope and change. Delivered mass censorship, intelligence manipulation, and weaponized federal agencies.

IRS against dissidents. DOJ to cover tracks. Intelligence turned inward.

7: Then came Trump.

He talked openly about human trafficking, corrupt intelligence players, globalist control.

He signed orders. Froze assets. Threatened their black budgets.

He wasn’t one of them—and that terrified them.

8: They hit back with everything:

Illegally unmasking his team

Fabricated dossiers

FBI infiltration

Russiagate

Two sham impeachments

Full-blown lawfare

Why? Not politics. Self-preservation.

9: The media calls it “Resistance.”

It’s not.

It’s a criminal enterprise trying to bury its tracks—before Trump exposes the rot they’ve spent 30+ years protecting.

This wasn’t about stopping Trump.
It was about stopping the truth.

10: And now? The desperation is louder than ever.

They’re unhinged. Coordinated. Frantic.

Why?

Because Trump still knows.

They know that it’s all out there now . The empire wears no cloths.

11: This is the fight of our lifetime.

Not left vs right.

Truth vs power.

And they’re losing control of the story."

12: Like I’ve been saying ever since I retired from the OSI back in 1978 when I felt like I was protecting national security by protecting the lie.

Well, I’ve been praying for this day to come and not to tell all the people who said I was a conspiracy theorist, but because the only thing that is going to heal this Nation is the TRUTH!!

[Creative Deduction @CreativeDeduct]

In the 1920s an imprisoned Italian journalist, disillusioned by the realisation that Karl Marx’s prediction of spontaneous worldwide socialist revolution was failing to come true, began working on a new revolutionary strategy that would profoundly shape the modern left.

In his Prison Diaries, Antonio Gramsci argued that capitalist societies were held together not primarily by economic power or state coercion, but by cultural hegemony - the dominance of bourgeois values, culture and institutions (education, media, family, religion and civil society). As long as the working class accepted these values as “common sense”, revolution was impossible.

His solution was revolutionary: the left must wage a “war of position” - a long, patient struggle to capture the institutions that shape culture and ideas. Only after achieving cultural dominance could they seize political and economic power.

This was a major departure from classical Marxism. Instead of focusing on factories and economic base, Gramsci shifted the battlefield to culture and consciousness. He understood that whoever controls the “superstructure” (culture) can eventually control the base (economy and politics).

Gramsci’s ideas became foundational to what later became known as Cultural Marxism. The Frankfurt School and the New Left built upon them, moving the struggle from class warfare to cultural warfare - attacking Western traditions, morality, family structures, and national identity.

Today’s identity politics, “the long march through the institutions”, critical studies in universities and the weaponisation of culture all trace their intellectual lineage back to Gramsci’s insight. He understood that real power lies in defining what society considers normal, moral and true. It has been a guiding principle for the left ever since.
