Latest from the former Free Speech Coalition. I'd urge all SOLOists to join but to maintain vigilance, scepticism ... and a willingness to walk away. These guys, unlike the co-founders of the UK Free Speech Union, have rabid Trump Derangement Syndrome. They not only denied, but lampooned the idea that Trump was the only person who stood between Western Civilisation and George Soros/Chinese Communist Party/Iranian Ayatollahs/Woke-Fascist Academia/Woke-Fascist Hollywood/Woke-Fascist Media/Woke-Fascist Silicon Valley and others of their despicable ilk.

NaZiland's Evil Woke-Fascist Labour Regime: Bringing '1984' to 2021

[Submission to Parliamentary Select Committee, Films, Videos, and Publications Classification (Urgent Interim Classification of Publications and Prevention of Online Harm) Amendment Bill, March 8, 2021]

"Religious faith is, precisely because we are still-evolving creatures, ineradicable. It will never die out, or at least not until we get over our fear of death, and of the dark, and of the unknown, and of each other. For this reason I would not prohibit it, even if I thought I could. Very generous of me, you may say. But will the religious grant me the same indulgence? I ask because there is a real and serious difference between me and my religious friends, and the real and serious friends are sufficiently honest to admit it. I would be quite content to go to their children's bar mitzvahs, to marvel at their Gothic cathedrals, to 'respect' their belief that the Koran was dictated, though exclusively in Arabic, to an illiterate merchant, or to interest myself in Wicca and Hindu and Jain consolations. And as it happens, I will continue to do this without insisting on the polite reciprocal condition—which is that they in turn leave me alone. But this, religion is ultimately incapable of doing. As I write these words, people of faith are in their different ways planning your and my destruction, and the destruction of all the hard-won human attainments that I have touched upon."

"Listen, what's the most horrible experience you can imagine? To me—it's being left, unarmed, in a sealed cell with a drooling beast of prey or a maniac who's had some disease that's eaten his brain out. You'd have nothing then but your voice—your voice and your thought. You'd scream to that creature why it should not touch you, you'd have the most eloquent words, the unanswerable words, you'd become the vessel of the absolute truth.

Woke-Fascism Wins in New Zealistan

Lindsay Perigo's picture
Submitted by Lindsay Perigo on Sat, 2020-10-17 10:04

Feeling obliged to watch the election results, I had, for the first time in years, to tune in to New Zealand television. I have never seen or heard such a line-up of fry-quacking grotesqueries. No words exist to describe their evil. The leading grotesquery, Jihadi Jacinda Podesta, won. No surprise there. Straight out of 1984. Hatred, from the larynx, with a smile. The hyperventilating commentators, breathless with orgasm, ejaculating about the imperative for Jihadi now to deliver on climate change and all the rest. That is, cancellation of capitalism, individual liberty and free speech—that is what they're panting for, and what they'll now get. It's also what they deserve. Enjoy, Filth!

On Saturday, 8th December at 2pm, patriotic New Zealanders of all political persuasions will gather in front of Aotea Square to demonstrate against the signing of the United Nations Global Migration Compact. Join us, bring a New Zealand Flag with you, and come wearing a yellow or orange high visibility vest to show solidarity with the demonstrators in France and Europe. If the weather is unkind, try bring a yellow raincoat or umbrella.

Intro to 'Total Passion'

Submitted by Lindsay Perigo on Sat, 2014-06-14 23:05

Kyrel Zantonavitch's new review on Amazon of my book, 'Total Passion for the Total Height,' prompted me to start re-reading the thing myself. As I made my way through the Introduction I became quite exercised by the trenchant accuracy of my own observations, and motivated to lift myself from the pessimistic funk induced by the horrors of which I write. It occurred to me that I'd never published that Introduction here. Here it is (oh, and of course, buy the book if you want more!):
