The Noble Savage Was Always a Fairy Tale. - Michael Smith
This myth/fable is, in literature and philosophy, an idealized concept of uncivilized man, a natural being who symbolizes the innate goodness of one isolated from the corrupting influences of civilization. - Michael Smith
- It presupposes that before technology and development, men and women were living in an innocent and harmonious state with nature and each other.

"The SPLC has falsely labeled Liberty Counsel and many other Christian conservative groups as 'hate groups' in a baseless, reckless attempt to damage the reputations of those with which it merely disagrees.

You'll hear people say the dollar is dying. That BRICS is building an alternative. That the world is moving into a multipolar future.

Exposing The Great Green Grift
As much as $16 trillion has been spent worldwide to defeat global warming. - I & I Editorial BoardIt could have been twice that and it would never be enough because the climate hustlers need to keep the dollars rolling in to line their own pockets.
Now we finally have an Environmental Protection Agency chief who’s exposing the racket.
- Testifying last week before a Senate committee, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told lawmakers that the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion stash that was created through the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, is a con.
