I wrote Progressivism: A Primer to explain certain anomalies in the behavior of progressives that I had noticed over a number of years.  For example, I found that progressives were rarely amenable to rational persuasion.  Facts, logic and even experience rarely changed their minds.  You couldn’t really argue with a progressive.  You would argue; they would fight.  They would get angry, insult and change the subject.  They never stopped proposing new government programs, spending and laws, though they appeared to lack a grand vision of what they were trying to accomplish. To explain all this and more, I propounded an … Continue reading

Paradigm: noun par·a·digm : A theory or a group of ideas about how something should be done, made, or thought about. There are some things about buying a car that people expect every time they go to purchase.  They always expect a big discount from MSRP, a host of rebates, and they expect to be taken advantage of.  As we head into 2016, many consumers have now had one or more extremely pleasant experiences purchasing a car.  This is a paradigm that is changing more and more as car dealers figure out that it is cheaper to have repeat business than to … Continue reading

Perhaps the greatest irony of this past year has been the mind numbing and irrational anti-free speech wave that swept across facets of so-called “liberal” America. This regressive movement was most readily apparent on college campuses, where hordes of sheltered and emotionally

Argentina’s London-owned President Mauricio Macri has moved with lightning speed since his Dec. 10 inauguration to again place his country under the thumb of the British Queen and her puppet, Barack Obama.

According to the Dec. 27 daily Clarín, itself a City of London asset, during a Dec. 21 meeting with Christine McDivitt, widow of the recently-deceased American environmentalist Douglas Tomkins, and with Sofia Heinonen, head of Tomkins’ Conservation Land Trust, Macri said he would try to stop the construction of the giant Kirchner-Cepernic hydroelectric complex in Santa Cruz province. In 2014, former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Chinese President Xi Jinping signed an agreement to build the project, construction of which has already begun, financed by the China Development Bank Corp., Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and Bank of China Ltd.

The hydroelectric project was one of several that Cristina Fernández signed with BRICS member China, enraging London-controlled environmentalist and depopulation fanatics. Now, Macri has surrounded himself with exactly this crowd. In a speech to businessmen two weeks ago, Clarín reports, Macri vowed he would be “implacable with those who don’t care for the environment.” Present at the Dec. 21 meeting was his Environment Minister Sergio Bergman, who has stated that Pope Francis’ Laudate Si’ encyclical will guide his environmentalist activities. Bergman has named several environmentalists to posts in his ministry, including the head of the World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF) local branch, Fundación Vida Silvestre.

McDivitt and Heinonen reportedly told Macri that the hydroelectric dams were an “aberration,” would cause irreparable environmental harm, and that they thought there were cleaner, more efficient and less harmful ways to produce energy. It was at this point that, according to Bergman’s own report, Macri said “we’re going to try to stop them.” Nor is this project the only one he’ll try to stop. According to Diego Guelar, Argentina’s new ambassador to China, there will have to be a review of all the agreements signed with China, as they all “lack transparency.”
