Great article, Dr. Malone. It brought me hope. We were made in the image of God—We are anything but sheep. And because we are God’s children we have been imbued with ample power to control our destinies and forge our own futures. But in order to do that, we must first emerge from the apathetic fire that consumes our lives, seize the helm of this ship we call the world, and steer her back to bluer waters.
I am reminded of the following:

The Pessimism of Intellect:
Final words of 1984: He loved big brother.
The Optimism of Will
Lavos symbolizes oblivion, that great negation of which death is only a facet. Humanity succeeds in thwarting death in Chrono Trigger by salvaging the pieces of its scattered history and creating a new meaning, a new story, in the face of certain doom. In the process, Crono and his allies learn of humanity's birth from Lavos, its evolution to suit his needs, its death throes in the year 2300 and its total extinction at the End of Time. In the end, though, the most important time is Now . As long as the human capacity to dream and to will that dream remains, choice defies fate; and thus does life defy death. -K. Newton

Your stated position "I will do Anything to make Dang sure you get used to disappointment" enjoys a shared sentiment with my own. It can, however, act as a form of submission to Progressivist (oligarchical) "Woke" Dialectics in which any response you present will be utilized to associate with your guilt.
Weaponized dialectics do not need to operate on logical reasoning because they are only ever provocations designed to entrap you into a reactionary position.
Adopting a reactionary position enables your adversary to dictate the terms of your next move. We should not choose this, ever, yet we do.
A more nuanced approach to the one of our conditioned nature was touched upon in this article.
It suggests that we ignore that BS and focus instead on what we love. Family, friends, golf, fishing, etc.... That is the best advice one could possibly receive.
You raise a strong point about not being solely reactive to the weaponized dialectic of the current Totalitarians squatting in DC, many state houses, and in all corporate media boardrooms.
However our nation was founded by men who were under no naive illusions that our "freedom" would constantly be under attack from both foreign AND domestic adversaries. We have been conditioned in a "defensive" mode; it is natural for us.
Yes, we can proactively pursue positive goals that we know will be rewarding. But our enemy will not cease or desist in his attempt to break us and destroy us, and has already demonstrated his willingness to use violence and unconstitutional actions to achieve their objectives. We must defend our values while pursuing our goals.
It seems like the best method of defending them is therefore to revel within practicing behavior consistent with those values.
Reacting to weaponized dialectics serves no meaningful purpose in achieving that end and is designed to drain our cognitive strengths and emotional energies.
The "15 minute prison city in COMMUNIST China" is MORE than an eye opener.
its a REAL science fiction 24/7/365 HELL ON EARTH! CHI-COPS with FACIAL RECOGNITION headgear - that HAS instant built in info on everyone they scan!!!
As yet I have not viewed the other links TriTorch provides here - just THIS "once seen" segment is absolutely HORRIFYING that ANYONE would 'live' there.
Wonder how many insane asylums extant in COMMUNIST China?
"I now ask you to choose between life and death, between God's blessing and God's curse, and I call heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Choose life." (Deuteronomy 30:19)
I often wonder if these works serve as roadmaps for the Yuval Harari of the world along with the rest of the current people full of delusions of becoming gods. There have always been such people with these delusions and it always ends in dismal failure for them. The only thing that changes is the roadmaps and the degree of collateral damage caused.
We live in an old suburb of Paris, where the streets are a few metres wide.
Within 5-10 minutes walk there is available: 3 little to medium supermarkets and a couple of corner shops, at least 6 (maybe upto 10) cafe-bars and restaurants, 3 or 4 bakeries where you can get your fresh bread and croissants, baked on the premises, a clinic/medical centre, 3 schools catering for all ages up to 18 and various shops ranging from mobile phones to an old fashioned cobbler who will fix your shoes.
And the cobbler is really useful because shoes are the main form of transport.
We never had a car and do not need one and what we also do not have are any "mega" supermarkets on thousands of square feet, with huge parking lots.
"Modern" urban planning (like Chairman Mao unleashed on Peking for example) would see the narrow streets and little buildings demolished and replaced by multi-lane highways that separate non-descript high-rise concrete towers. The many little shops, cafes and bakeries (all independently run btw - not a chain in sight) would be replaced by corporate malls with franchises.
People would then be FORCED to buy automobiles and pay for gasoline, just for everyday subsistence.
Do we live in a "15-minute ghetto"? No. If we want to venture further afield, nothing could be easier. There are a few bus stops within the same 5-10 minute walk radius where several bus lines can take you all over. Within 10-15 minute walk (depending on your energy), is the metro station that can take you even farther, and faster. The main international airport (Roissy-CDG) is a 40-45 minute ride on the metro while the secondary (Orly) is 15 minutes on the bus.
Having lived in various parts of the world where I was forced to get into an automobile every morning for the most mundane of tasks, I am continuously grateful for life here and now. I recall once in a modern, "luxury", Bethesda, MD hotel, I had no option but to take the lift one floor up, to exercise on an electric treadmill in a gym, then had to take the lift one floor down back to my room, and the windows would not open so artificial air-circulation was compulsory 24/7.
Life in this older Parisian suburb is not "modern". It is pre-20th century when "modern urban planning" produced vast concrete wastelands that alienated people from each other, fragmented and destroyed local society and forced people into higher and unnecessary consumption.
Just a few miles away, into the truly "modern" suburbs, the automobile is king and neighbourhoods are dead quiet at night. They feel both boring and dangerous.
One of the other great advantages in living in an area like this, is that you actually know your neighbours and meet them daily while walking to/from the various places. Local society exists.
I am not sure about the "15-minute city" concept but sometimes it serves to look back, to help you look forward.
Small town community as you describe is an ancient construct and, believe it or not, still exists even in America, though not as common as it once was. Modernity happened in America, post WW2 when developers pushed the new normal into sprawling housing known as suburbia. I grew up in one of those neighborhoods built to provide houses for the booming population growth. Action/reaction - that then required ways to move people about - cars being the answer.
The solution slowly became a monster that must be fed. The new problem is not about redesigning how people live though, looking to redefine and revive the old small community standard that worked so well. The problem is the agenda of the little elitist gods who are determined to redefine civilization to fit their determination and obsession with destroying God's creation and replacing it with their own. I always think of the analogy in the story It's a Wonderful Life when George Bailey is shown what happens to Bedford Falls becoming Pottersville if he never existed. Pottersville is what the globalists really want even as they project their Utopian illusions to the dumbed down masses of Bedford Falls.
I tend to associate lawyers and developers with a lot of what is wrong with this Republic today. Lawyers have essentially rooted our Constitution to build their own empire within its remains and developers seem hell- bent on despoiling as much land and monopolizing all available resources as they can.
I agree. Scottsdale planning massive new buildings without any concern for the shortage of water. Only long time residents are raising an alert. To deaf ears!
Driving me nuts here. In stage 3 water restrictions and people migrating here (legals and the others)in droves, new housing everywhere you look. And this area is normally semi arid meaning mostly dry most of the time.
Where I live in North Georgia, we have more than just pop up housing developments. Acres and acres of trees have been removed to make way for huge industrial warehouse buildings. The new construction is basically prefab concrete walls with tiny windows. I can't imagine the intended purpose for these massive eye sores. They remind me of prisons - without the barbed wire.
The nightmare would be a fake small-town that looks like a Legoland version of what it should be, but everything owned, controlled and operated by corporations headquartered in some ether. Where everyone is an employee.
The great thing about small independent businesses is the diversity. Every little cafe, bar, restaurant, bakery etc looks different, has different products and a different style. The people you meet behind the counter are the owners and tend to be family units.
We all know what the "pandemic" did to small businesses. The one bankruptcy we had here was the local gym. A small independent business. Gone. (Because going to the gym was dangerous for your health, apparently.)
BTW ... there is another great advantage to living within walking distance of a few freindly bars and not having to drive. I need say no more!
Funny in a way. Raised in a CoalMining village in England. Houses owned by the Coalmine, rented. Major store owned by the mine. Only place to purchase many essentials. Seems that idea not new just expanding on it.
My great grandfather on my Mom’s side was a coal miner in Wales. The Gelly area. They moved to America because he had black lung and could no longer work in the coal mines.
My Granda down the pit at age 8. Smoked a pack of unfiltered cigarettes a day. Died in his sleep at 84. I think there must be a rare chip that protected him. That black lung took his brothers. Hope your Granda had a good life here.
He did. My grand ma and her sister came with their dad to America and went to work earning money to bring the rest of the family over. My grandmother was a professional seamstress . She had pictures of some of the beautiful suits she made.
It is one thing to choose the urban lifestyle you describe, but quite another to have it imposed by self-important weasels who insinuate themselves as superior in their own minds.
I too have lived in multiple countries, and gratefully embraced motorized conveyances to assist me in seeing the world.
Seeing the world is the right of every human being, and must never be controlled by the whim (however nobly inteded) of a tyrant beauracracy.
I now live several miles from the closest town, amidst redwoods in the ancestral land of my family. I could never live in some tightly packed, rabbit warren, 15 minute city.
We hope to move out to the country next year and when that happens, am under no illusion that mechanised transport will be necessary.
The problem is not the close-knit urban community vs wide open spaces. The problem is the grey zone inbetween (quite literally "grey") and the "new towns" that started springing up after WW2, and in some places replaced old urban centres.
The suburban grey zones and new-style towns combine the negatives of urban centres and open country (concrete and long distances) while eliminatint the positives (close knit society and natural beauty).
A sheriff and a new pastor in a frontier town, back in the 1850's, sat on a porch on the edge of town, greeting wagons of people arriving from the east. A wagon of pioneers pulled up and asked what kind of town this was, since they're looking to settle somewhere nice.
"What was the town like where you came from?" the sheriff asked.
They described their town, full of "gossips, busy bodies, bums, all small minded igner'nt people."
"Well, that is exactly how this town is. You may not want to settle here." the sheriff answered.
"Thank you sheriff, we will keep on, then" the man said, and moved off.
Looking aghast, but saying nothing, the pastor was silent as the family passed through town heading west.
Another came by and asked the sheriff the same question, and the sheriff asked them what the town was like where they came from.
"Oh, it was beautiful. All our neighbors were like family, for miles around. We helped each other quite often. The land was productive and we would have preferred to stay, but we couldn't afford to buy the land."
"Well" the sheriff proclaimed "You're going to love it here. The people are wonderful and the land very affordable, you can buy it over time with the product of your hands."
He told them where the land office was and the name of the clerk to see.
The pastor looked surprised as they moved off.
"I don't understand" he said "I thought you said the town was terrible."
"The world is what each person makes it, and we just found some more people that will help make our land beautiful."
The Ten Boom sisters, Betsie and Corrie, imprisoned in the Buchenwald death camp, were polar opposites. Corrie found it to be hell and was as desperate and miserable as every other lice infested and starving inmate, battling for every scrap and quiet corner.
But Betsie made it heaven for all she interacted with, giving her food away and providing comfort to the most desperate among them. Her nobility ennobled every one in that living hell, dying just prior to the liberation.
What more noble thing than to give all of yourself to the betterment of another?
What a fitting analogy, Doug. I notice that unless I huff and puff and blow the house down, not many are interested in a contemplative point of view. If I get all in arms and thrash around in the mud, I can get company. Today, I'm tired of the mud.
I decided to use Churchill as my model, plying those against whom waves crash without effect, with a bit of alcohol.
It is amazing how much better friends are made over a drink or two.
The stories about his being able to bring warring parties to an agreement are legendary and legion.
So head to a neighborhood bar and make some friends. Meet their friends, make allies and connections.
Jesus enjoyed wine with the local 'stoners and tax collectors' and it must have been amazing to sit in that room. Can you imagine? Enjoying relief from a hard day, about the business of survival, to then have some wine with God, in flesh.
In a larger sense, that is what happens when wet interact with any human. Christ is the example.
I love using my imagination about the personality of Jesus. I always figured I would be one of the women in his troop. He was a legendary rebel and inclusive and non-judgemental and a mystery to many. Thanks for being honest, Doug.
My grandson moved to New York. Lives in the Bronx. 2 bedroom apartment $3,800 a month. He shares. I'm sure it is not only more beautiful but less expensive to live in a rural area. He does not own or need a car.
Fortunately your describing much of Britain and Europe. Residents love the narrow streets and antique buildings. They just might fight to keep them! Hopefully!
Old Paris/It is all the comforts home and social living you want to exist and thrive in for happiness and contentment. But this high density area is the ones that targeted first.
More fish...smaller barrel. If things go 1984. It will be all of us locked down and out anyway.
Your community sounds wonderful. Very much different out here in the Southern Plains of Oklahoma where we can put on 150 miles each day on more than one vehicle as we go about our various duties.
I would wager that both you and I still have some input into our local government. Road and street work, zoning, taxation etc. I doubt the 15 minute city as envisioned by the WEF will offer that opportunity.
It seems unlikely that there will be an interest in my cows as we will all be feed highly processed or lab grown junk food. They want the market share, all of it. Will there be a place for my little independent tire shop, or my independent hardware/auto parts store. This same question should be ask about the little independent shops in your community. The big boys want that market share.
What you have is beautiful. The question is, can you keep it.
My main takeaway from your post is that you live in a community that has been built relatively organically over centuries and where people are choosing to live. I've lived in Paris, Strasbourg and Geneva - all old communities where everything is within walking distance or short transit rides. (I've also lived in NYC which is quite the same). I've also spent a great deal of time in relatively rural communities in Kenya, England, France and Norway and now live in a rural community in the US where this type of convenience doesn't exist but communities were also allowed to grow (or remain very small) organically but people choose this type of quiet life where you might not be able to get all the conveniences of a neighborhood in a large city but other aspects make up for that. The overall core point is that choice of where to live and how to live is a core part of being human and being happy. That is what the globalists are desparate to take away from humanity.
Choice, a big word. When you make a choice, isn't because you have an image of what that choice will present? And others making that same choice help keep that choice viable. The coloreds of Detroit and Chicago had no choices, they lived where government told them to and they squabbled, fought did drugs and created ghettoes because their vision and choices were taken away. Each should have a choice.

For me it’s influencing the people around me to see what many would consider old fashioned values. Most of my interactions with younger people happen at work, probably because that’s where most of my time is spent. I know I have influenced many to at least look away from the internet life and try to use carpentry to not only make a living but build a future. In almost all rehabilitations of people, work and work ethic is a centralized issue. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I think this is a good strategy when trying to influence the young. J.Goodrich
I have always enjoyed Shabbos in the Orthodox Community. I wish people could see the beauty of this. So much like Sundays in the 50s. Everything closed. Families together. My Granda would take me to feed the pit ponies. Lovely memories. Simple life.
Having just spent a weekend in the more rural part of C’ville, our family can fully appreciate literally where you are coming from. Trad family life will survive as long as we seek what is truly grounded and grounding. Jefferson’s dreams of an agrarian-based American society are worthy of dusting off for future generations...

Excellent overview of what is going on.
Just one of the many thoughts I've had is the problem of over computerizing the family automobile.
Every aspect of the owning and driving experience of today's vehicles is controlled by computers, from the time you touch the door handle to when you park and exit the car.
One tiny glitch in those circuits can make that technological "wonder" nothing more than a very expensive doghouse (If you can get the door open) that even the most tech savvy technician cannot fix.
I believe that a vehicle devoid of the computer would be a huge success if someone had the wherewithal to start a company to build them.
Agree about the vehicles. Unfortunately my Audi A4 2006 developed the notorious cam wear problem, and I cannot find a mechanic or dealership willing to take it on. However my 2006 GMC 3500 flatbed is in good shape at 250,000 miles, but I am going to have to replace the CP3 fuel pump, in line filter and pressure regulator. That will take a bite out of the bank account, but nothing like a new 3500 dually. Plus, no DEF! Counting my blessings....
Ha!!! I got You beat with an F250 at 298,000 miles. 😁 Ed
If it wasn’t all the way to Illinois, My Buddy would take on Your Audi. Dang, He is Magic. I suck at cars post-1995. If You need chainsaw stuff done, I’ll destroy it. 🏴☠️, Ed
Ford insisted the carburetor on his Model T could be taken apart by removing a single screw for service. You could also grind the valves yourself in a roadside repair. Guess Ford was a luddite too.
I fell in love with the 99/03 MK4 VW diesels and own a half dozen of them due to the 50 MPG they are capable of.
I bought a complete diagnostic tool to work on them, but as rudimentary as the controls are, as they age, there are quirks that develop that can't be fixed.
I upgraded to a 2013 Passat diesel that I thought might replace what I have been relying on, but....it's been sitting at the dealership since the end of March waiting on emissions parts.
I may have to go back into the 90s in order to have a decent vehicle that can be repaired.
My current vehicle is a Whyte uk mountain bike (awesome) plus 4 drivers. I spend about $100-$140 a month hiring them. A decent HiLux here is $25-30k. They call me “The dude with a backpack (rucksack)” Uhhh…math works. Ed
Edit - international moving sucks. I should have paid for the extra 10x10 container myself and shipped my F250 as well. 20/20 on the back end.😂
Despite its old age, my many miled 'Merry 2000 Olds,' I won't voluntarily give it up. I hate driving newer loaners when it's in for repairs. An occasional ride in newer computer screened car is even worse. I do keep in mind, that in my youth, cars were revered. Objects of great affection and extreme care. Even helped rebuild a Henry J engine in a class. A fun experience! Having a car opened access to places Chicago public transportation would never take me. Sorry they've lost their standing with today's folks.
We go to car shows in Scottsdale. Last brand new car my husband sat in was so computerised he said he would need to take a course to learn how to drive it.
Does this mean that we can buy a vintage Ford or Chevy and as long as we have friends who know their way around a wrench, so we can avoid the computers! (I would miss my backup camera!)

Don’t forget the chaps. I lost the lateral cutaneous nerve in my left thigh when I opened it up when a newly sharpened chain caught my canvas shorts. I could have lost a lot more- the cut went dow to the muscle fascia but stopped there. Years later I still do not have much feeling lateral on that thigh.
Choose life. " I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, love the Lord your God, obey him, and remain faithful to him." Deuteronomy 30:19-20a
We live in a small city. We are surrounded by farm land. A 1/2 hour south east is a ski resort, a 1/2 hour west is a reservoir, a 1/2 an hour south west are beautiful mountains for camping and fishing. We have the out door fun 1/2 hour away . There are hiking trails just above our house that hike into the mountains. We live in a great place. There are time I still miss living on the family farm. But my community has a lot of great people who live here. You can still ride your bikes through the neighborhood, the kids play night games in the Summer. Life is good here. It drives me crazy to think about the nonsense these evil men want to put on us.
At 76, I confess: Sometimes I sit at the "grownups" table and sometimes with the "kids". I thoroughly enjoy the conversation at both "tables", as a listener and a participant.
I also enjoy sitting alone. I'm not bad company -- the result of a "Trad" childhood during which I was often left to my own devices. On a typical day I ran wild, barefoot, through heaven-knows-what, that I had to scrub off with sand before I showed up for dinner!
A thought: It is sad when your own company does not sustain you and you find yourself reliant on the attention of others, (including social media and AI.)
Get to know yourself and then get over yourself......like every other living thing, you will be offered continual opportunities to grow and learn.
I find refuge in animals. They're not as combative, which makes it appear that I must have my way. Well, that true in many ways. I don't ask for much and they don't either.
Animals are characters in their own right, and pretty good at sussing out humans. I have been know to 'award' extra credit to humans surrounded by animals! The animals know.
Healthy traditional family life is the bedrock of every shining and thriving civilization. Western educational and governmental policies have been systematically attacking the family for some time, and our societies now bear the sorry fruit of that campaign.
Re:Cabrini Green. If you thought that was bad you should have visited Altgeld Gardens. An old army post hidden south on the DanRyan expressway. I went there to write up a health insurance plan for the only grocery store. As I entered the smell was so disgusting my stomach turned over. If I had not known politicians care little about poor black people, Altgeld Gardens brought it home. Of course Cabrini Green was just west of the lucrative downtown area. As land prices increased the residents were told they would find them a better place to live. Politicians tore down Cabrini Green and replaced it with townhouse s selling for $500,000 and up. The promise of a better place to live was subjected to the suburbs willing to take them in. Many ended up in Englewood. Sad ending. I mention this because it serves as a warning. $$s run our politicians. Don't trust them.
Popped on PBS last night for the BBC news, first time in months, Fauci was interviewed on the new Covid variant. He said he’s not concerned because 96% of community has been exposed and has protection, not worried about hospitalizations and death….then he went on to say very worried no one will take the vaccine coming out 25 Sept for the variant that’s circulating now because they’ll be cavalier citing previous infection or immunity. The grave seriousness of the BBC reporter would only hear gloom and doom, why not ask “but you just said the opposite ….” Or “how can a vaccine weeks after the virus is spreading help? And isn’t it always mutating so this cocktail will be out of date?” https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-66643426
YouTube policies in place and other censorship locking in to prevent common sense questions. Be on the alert and stand firm, I will use Fauci’s own words with deceived loved ones to show vaccination is unnecessary
Despite the Evil on flagrant display these past few years, Humanity still has amazing prospects ahead. It is hard to believe this when people are deluged with fear porn and tyranny. It is much easier to believe the doom and give up and GIVE IN to the negative crap. We must resist this, and everything else they try to force on us that We Know is immoral, awful, and against God's wishes for us. Resist.
You, Dr's Malone, are doing the next greater thing: Leading in a positive direction. Thank you and God Bless you for doing this, for using your voices to say these things. All us parents need to hear these things and we need to live positive lives for our children. Peace to all.
Great article, Dr. Malone. It brought me hope. We were made in the image of God—We are anything but sheep. And because we are God’s children we have been imbued with ample power to control our destinies and forge our own futures. But in order to do that, we must first emerge from the apathetic fire that consumes our lives, seize the helm of this ship we call the world, and steer her back to bluer waters.

The first to arrive were the cameras
Installed to protect both you and me
In places where we weren't that threatened
And yet the people didn't see
What followed were traffic restrictions
To keep the roads quiet and clean
The math didn't add up, or the science
But still the people didn't see
Next came the 15 minute neighborhoods
Make our lives easier, decreed
To some, it seemed like restrictions
But still the people didn't see
Then came the Digital ID
So convenient, easy and free!
Your life in one chip on a mainframe
And still the people didn't see
The cars they sold were electric
All wired to the government PC
They switched off the driving on Sundays
Yet still the people didn't see
The banks moved their money to digital
The government banned cash the next week
The ability to fly was restricted
Yet still the people didn't see
They linked up your money and profile
To the ID on the government PC
Connected it to social media
Yet still the people didn't see
Then came a new cure, a new virus
Safe and Effective, and free
They linked these jabs to your profile
And connected the government PC
When the people were locked up in cities
Policed by their digital ID
Unable to visit their loved ones
Now finally the people can see
Restricted and tracked with no money,
To go further a permit you'll need
Contained in your digital city
Oh why did the people not see?!
These steps they sold us as progress
Never looked to be quite what they seemed
If you don't ask the questions and protest
Then your children will never know FREE.

Try and enslave/control Me…I will do Anything to make Dang sure you get used to disappointment. 🏴☠️, Ed
Greetings kind sir.
Your stated position "I will do Anything to make Dang sure you get used to disappointment" enjoys a shared sentiment with my own. It can, however, act as a form of submission to Progressivist (oligarchical) "Woke" Dialectics in which any response you present will be utilized to associate with your guilt.
Weaponized dialectics do not need to operate on logical reasoning because they are only ever provocations designed to entrap you into a reactionary position.
Adopting a reactionary position enables your adversary to dictate the terms of your next move. We should not choose this, ever, yet we do.
A more nuanced approach to the one of our conditioned nature was touched upon in this article.
It suggests that we ignore that BS and focus instead on what we love. Family, friends, golf, fishing, etc.... That is the best advice one could possibly receive.
Best Regards,
Duly Noted. Very Best, Ed
Edit - Sorry, I am originally from Texas.🔥
I shared this wisdom on another substack thread with credit to you. Very insightful Greg.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
However, I garnered the concept from other places and do not consider my expression proprietary.
The only reward I seek is the facilitation of understanding to all the willing seekers of truth and justice.
Once properly informed, we then possess the primary element required for Democratic Governance, which we've lost along the way.
Or rather, it was stolen from us.

However our nation was founded by men who were under no naive illusions that our "freedom" would constantly be under attack from both foreign AND domestic adversaries. We have been conditioned in a "defensive" mode; it is natural for us.
Yes, we can proactively pursue positive goals that we know will be rewarding. But our enemy will not cease or desist in his attempt to break us and destroy us, and has already demonstrated his willingness to use violence and unconstitutional actions to achieve their objectives. We must defend our values while pursuing our goals.
Thank you for your repsonse.
I agree that defending our values is important.
It seems like the best method of defending them is therefore to revel within practicing behavior consistent with those values.
Reacting to weaponized dialectics serves no meaningful purpose in achieving that end and is designed to drain our cognitive strengths and emotional energies.
Best Regards,
Thanks for the China link, that is exactly what 1984 was all about. That is scary to see that it is happening already.
The "15 minute prison city in COMMUNIST China" is MORE than an eye opener.
its a REAL science fiction 24/7/365 HELL ON EARTH! CHI-COPS with FACIAL RECOGNITION headgear - that HAS instant built in info on everyone they scan!!!
As yet I have not viewed the other links TriTorch provides here - just THIS "once seen" segment is absolutely HORRIFYING that ANYONE would 'live' there.
Wonder how many insane asylums extant in COMMUNIST China?
Thanks for the links which I will explore
Built the great walls of China to prevent Marauders from the home land invasion's
But the stop gap reality became obvious, no one allowed "in or Out" of China.
It suffered any advancement on every level. No new ideas could be instituted. Choked!
"The mind is like a parachute: it only functions when open." -unknown
Perhaps that is true with some nations - at least when it comes to the flow of ideas.
Sure as hell slows down terminal velocity. You can even see where you probably impact.
I bet that's one of those old paratrooper instructor regular reminders. Hahaha
A closed mind is a roman candle maybe?
Good point. The candle burns itself out. A million little lights flickering in the darkness, unable to propagate their unique solitary wisdom.

"I now ask you to choose between life and death, between God's blessing and God's curse, and I call heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Choose life." (Deuteronomy 30:19)
I often wonder if these works serve as roadmaps for the Yuval Harari of the world along with the rest of the current people full of delusions of becoming gods. There have always been such people with these delusions and it always ends in dismal failure for them. The only thing that changes is the roadmaps and the degree of collateral damage caused.
We live in an old suburb of Paris, where the streets are a few metres wide.
Within 5-10 minutes walk there is available: 3 little to medium supermarkets and a couple of corner shops, at least 6 (maybe upto 10) cafe-bars and restaurants, 3 or 4 bakeries where you can get your fresh bread and croissants, baked on the premises, a clinic/medical centre, 3 schools catering for all ages up to 18 and various shops ranging from mobile phones to an old fashioned cobbler who will fix your shoes.
And the cobbler is really useful because shoes are the main form of transport.
We never had a car and do not need one and what we also do not have are any "mega" supermarkets on thousands of square feet, with huge parking lots.
"Modern" urban planning (like Chairman Mao unleashed on Peking for example) would see the narrow streets and little buildings demolished and replaced by multi-lane highways that separate non-descript high-rise concrete towers. The many little shops, cafes and bakeries (all independently run btw - not a chain in sight) would be replaced by corporate malls with franchises.
People would then be FORCED to buy automobiles and pay for gasoline, just for everyday subsistence.
Do we live in a "15-minute ghetto"? No. If we want to venture further afield, nothing could be easier. There are a few bus stops within the same 5-10 minute walk radius where several bus lines can take you all over. Within 10-15 minute walk (depending on your energy), is the metro station that can take you even farther, and faster. The main international airport (Roissy-CDG) is a 40-45 minute ride on the metro while the secondary (Orly) is 15 minutes on the bus.
Having lived in various parts of the world where I was forced to get into an automobile every morning for the most mundane of tasks, I am continuously grateful for life here and now. I recall once in a modern, "luxury", Bethesda, MD hotel, I had no option but to take the lift one floor up, to exercise on an electric treadmill in a gym, then had to take the lift one floor down back to my room, and the windows would not open so artificial air-circulation was compulsory 24/7.
Life in this older Parisian suburb is not "modern". It is pre-20th century when "modern urban planning" produced vast concrete wastelands that alienated people from each other, fragmented and destroyed local society and forced people into higher and unnecessary consumption.
Just a few miles away, into the truly "modern" suburbs, the automobile is king and neighbourhoods are dead quiet at night. They feel both boring and dangerous.
One of the other great advantages in living in an area like this, is that you actually know your neighbours and meet them daily while walking to/from the various places. Local society exists.
I am not sure about the "15-minute city" concept but sometimes it serves to look back, to help you look forward.
Small town community as you describe is an ancient construct and, believe it or not, still exists even in America, though not as common as it once was. Modernity happened in America, post WW2 when developers pushed the new normal into sprawling housing known as suburbia. I grew up in one of those neighborhoods built to provide houses for the booming population growth. Action/reaction - that then required ways to move people about - cars being the answer.
The solution slowly became a monster that must be fed. The new problem is not about redesigning how people live though, looking to redefine and revive the old small community standard that worked so well. The problem is the agenda of the little elitist gods who are determined to redefine civilization to fit their determination and obsession with destroying God's creation and replacing it with their own. I always think of the analogy in the story It's a Wonderful Life when George Bailey is shown what happens to Bedford Falls becoming Pottersville if he never existed. Pottersville is what the globalists really want even as they project their Utopian illusions to the dumbed down masses of Bedford Falls.
I tend to associate lawyers and developers with a lot of what is wrong with this Republic today. Lawyers have essentially rooted our Constitution to build their own empire within its remains and developers seem hell- bent on despoiling as much land and monopolizing all available resources as they can.
I agree. Scottsdale planning massive new buildings without any concern for the shortage of water. Only long time residents are raising an alert. To deaf ears!
Driving me nuts here. In stage 3 water restrictions and people migrating here (legals and the others)in droves, new housing everywhere you look. And this area is normally semi arid meaning mostly dry most of the time.
I agree 👍.
Our congress is mainly composed of attorneys. The Genesis many of our problems!
And the not so bright ones at that.. with exceptions like Hawley and Schmitt.
Where I live in North Georgia, we have more than just pop up housing developments. Acres and acres of trees have been removed to make way for huge industrial warehouse buildings. The new construction is basically prefab concrete walls with tiny windows. I can't imagine the intended purpose for these massive eye sores. They remind me of prisons - without the barbed wire.
The nightmare would be a fake small-town that looks like a Legoland version of what it should be, but everything owned, controlled and operated by corporations headquartered in some ether. Where everyone is an employee.
The great thing about small independent businesses is the diversity. Every little cafe, bar, restaurant, bakery etc looks different, has different products and a different style. The people you meet behind the counter are the owners and tend to be family units.
We all know what the "pandemic" did to small businesses. The one bankruptcy we had here was the local gym. A small independent business. Gone. (Because going to the gym was dangerous for your health, apparently.)
BTW ... there is another great advantage to living within walking distance of a few freindly bars and not having to drive. I need say no more!
I grew up in a world 'where everyone is an employee'
It is called communism. People who did not experience it cannot understand its alienated inhumanity.
Funny in a way. Raised in a CoalMining village in England. Houses owned by the Coalmine, rented. Major store owned by the mine. Only place to purchase many essentials. Seems that idea not new just expanding on it.
My great grandfather on my Mom’s side was a coal miner in Wales. The Gelly area. They moved to America because he had black lung and could no longer work in the coal mines.
My Granda down the pit at age 8. Smoked a pack of unfiltered cigarettes a day. Died in his sleep at 84. I think there must be a rare chip that protected him. That black lung took his brothers. Hope your Granda had a good life here.
He did. My grand ma and her sister came with their dad to America and went to work earning money to bring the rest of the family over. My grandmother was a professional seamstress . She had pictures of some of the beautiful suits she made.
It is one thing to choose the urban lifestyle you describe, but quite another to have it imposed by self-important weasels who insinuate themselves as superior in their own minds.
I too have lived in multiple countries, and gratefully embraced motorized conveyances to assist me in seeing the world.
Seeing the world is the right of every human being, and must never be controlled by the whim (however nobly inteded) of a tyrant beauracracy.
I now live several miles from the closest town, amidst redwoods in the ancestral land of my family. I could never live in some tightly packed, rabbit warren, 15 minute city.
We hope to move out to the country next year and when that happens, am under no illusion that mechanised transport will be necessary.
The problem is not the close-knit urban community vs wide open spaces. The problem is the grey zone inbetween (quite literally "grey") and the "new towns" that started springing up after WW2, and in some places replaced old urban centres.
The suburban grey zones and new-style towns combine the negatives of urban centres and open country (concrete and long distances) while eliminatint the positives (close knit society and natural beauty).
A sheriff and a new pastor in a frontier town, back in the 1850's, sat on a porch on the edge of town, greeting wagons of people arriving from the east. A wagon of pioneers pulled up and asked what kind of town this was, since they're looking to settle somewhere nice.
"What was the town like where you came from?" the sheriff asked.
They described their town, full of "gossips, busy bodies, bums, all small minded igner'nt people."
"Well, that is exactly how this town is. You may not want to settle here." the sheriff answered.
"Thank you sheriff, we will keep on, then" the man said, and moved off.
Looking aghast, but saying nothing, the pastor was silent as the family passed through town heading west.
Another came by and asked the sheriff the same question, and the sheriff asked them what the town was like where they came from.
"Oh, it was beautiful. All our neighbors were like family, for miles around. We helped each other quite often. The land was productive and we would have preferred to stay, but we couldn't afford to buy the land."
"Well" the sheriff proclaimed "You're going to love it here. The people are wonderful and the land very affordable, you can buy it over time with the product of your hands."
He told them where the land office was and the name of the clerk to see.
The pastor looked surprised as they moved off.
"I don't understand" he said "I thought you said the town was terrible."
"The world is what each person makes it, and we just found some more people that will help make our land beautiful."
The Ten Boom sisters, Betsie and Corrie, imprisoned in the Buchenwald death camp, were polar opposites. Corrie found it to be hell and was as desperate and miserable as every other lice infested and starving inmate, battling for every scrap and quiet corner.
But Betsie made it heaven for all she interacted with, giving her food away and providing comfort to the most desperate among them. Her nobility ennobled every one in that living hell, dying just prior to the liberation.
What more noble thing than to give all of yourself to the betterment of another?
What a fitting analogy, Doug. I notice that unless I huff and puff and blow the house down, not many are interested in a contemplative point of view. If I get all in arms and thrash around in the mud, I can get company. Today, I'm tired of the mud.
No, so true.
I decided to use Churchill as my model, plying those against whom waves crash without effect, with a bit of alcohol.
It is amazing how much better friends are made over a drink or two.
The stories about his being able to bring warring parties to an agreement are legendary and legion.
So head to a neighborhood bar and make some friends. Meet their friends, make allies and connections.
Jesus enjoyed wine with the local 'stoners and tax collectors' and it must have been amazing to sit in that room. Can you imagine? Enjoying relief from a hard day, about the business of survival, to then have some wine with God, in flesh.
In a larger sense, that is what happens when wet interact with any human. Christ is the example.
I love using my imagination about the personality of Jesus. I always figured I would be one of the women in his troop. He was a legendary rebel and inclusive and non-judgemental and a mystery to many. Thanks for being honest, Doug.
Hi, new here. Just lost a few friends because they have no interest in another point of view.
Welcome Laura, this is a long road.
New here, well said.
My grandson moved to New York. Lives in the Bronx. 2 bedroom apartment $3,800 a month. He shares. I'm sure it is not only more beautiful but less expensive to live in a rural area. He does not own or need a car.
Fortunately your describing much of Britain and Europe. Residents love the narrow streets and antique buildings. They just might fight to keep them! Hopefully!
Old Paris/It is all the comforts home and social living you want to exist and thrive in for happiness and contentment. But this high density area is the ones that targeted first.
More fish...smaller barrel. If things go 1984. It will be all of us locked down and out anyway.
Your community sounds wonderful. Very much different out here in the Southern Plains of Oklahoma where we can put on 150 miles each day on more than one vehicle as we go about our various duties.
I would wager that both you and I still have some input into our local government. Road and street work, zoning, taxation etc. I doubt the 15 minute city as envisioned by the WEF will offer that opportunity.
It seems unlikely that there will be an interest in my cows as we will all be feed highly processed or lab grown junk food. They want the market share, all of it. Will there be a place for my little independent tire shop, or my independent hardware/auto parts store. This same question should be ask about the little independent shops in your community. The big boys want that market share.
What you have is beautiful. The question is, can you keep it.
Can you keep it? The main question!
Sounds great. I’ll take some.
However, it’s NOT what the WEF has in mind.
My main takeaway from your post is that you live in a community that has been built relatively organically over centuries and where people are choosing to live. I've lived in Paris, Strasbourg and Geneva - all old communities where everything is within walking distance or short transit rides. (I've also lived in NYC which is quite the same). I've also spent a great deal of time in relatively rural communities in Kenya, England, France and Norway and now live in a rural community in the US where this type of convenience doesn't exist but communities were also allowed to grow (or remain very small) organically but people choose this type of quiet life where you might not be able to get all the conveniences of a neighborhood in a large city but other aspects make up for that. The overall core point is that choice of where to live and how to live is a core part of being human and being happy. That is what the globalists are desparate to take away from humanity.
Choice, a big word. When you make a choice, isn't because you have an image of what that choice will present? And others making that same choice help keep that choice viable. The coloreds of Detroit and Chicago had no choices, they lived where government told them to and they squabbled, fought did drugs and created ghettoes because their vision and choices were taken away. Each should have a choice.
For me it’s influencing the people around me to see what many would consider old fashioned values. Most of my interactions with younger people happen at work, probably because that’s where most of my time is spent. I know I have influenced many to at least look away from the internet life and try to use carpentry to not only make a living but build a future. In almost all rehabilitations of people, work and work ethic is a centralized issue. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I think this is a good strategy when trying to influence the young. J.Goodrich
I have always enjoyed Shabbos in the Orthodox Community. I wish people could see the beauty of this. So much like Sundays in the 50s. Everything closed. Families together. My Granda would take me to feed the pit ponies. Lovely memories. Simple life.
Having just spent a weekend in the more rural part of C’ville, our family can fully appreciate literally where you are coming from. Trad family life will survive as long as we seek what is truly grounded and grounding. Jefferson’s dreams of an agrarian-based American society are worthy of dusting off for future generations...
Excellent overview of what is going on.
Just one of the many thoughts I've had is the problem of over computerizing the family automobile.
Every aspect of the owning and driving experience of today's vehicles is controlled by computers, from the time you touch the door handle to when you park and exit the car.
One tiny glitch in those circuits can make that technological "wonder" nothing more than a very expensive doghouse (If you can get the door open) that even the most tech savvy technician cannot fix.
I believe that a vehicle devoid of the computer would be a huge success if someone had the wherewithal to start a company to build them.
Call me a Luddite if you will.
Agree about the vehicles. Unfortunately my Audi A4 2006 developed the notorious cam wear problem, and I cannot find a mechanic or dealership willing to take it on. However my 2006 GMC 3500 flatbed is in good shape at 250,000 miles, but I am going to have to replace the CP3 fuel pump, in line filter and pressure regulator. That will take a bite out of the bank account, but nothing like a new 3500 dually. Plus, no DEF! Counting my blessings....
Ha!!! I got You beat with an F250 at 298,000 miles. 😁 Ed
If it wasn’t all the way to Illinois, My Buddy would take on Your Audi. Dang, He is Magic. I suck at cars post-1995. If You need chainsaw stuff done, I’ll destroy it. 🏴☠️, Ed
Is the Audi a diesel?
Ford insisted the carburetor on his Model T could be taken apart by removing a single screw for service. You could also grind the valves yourself in a roadside repair. Guess Ford was a luddite too.
I’m just a neo-luddite😂.. Ed
Guess I am a retro-luddite
Of the 5 mobility machines i own, My newest vehicle is a 2007 class 8 service truck, so I get what you're talking about.
I fell in love with the 99/03 MK4 VW diesels and own a half dozen of them due to the 50 MPG they are capable of.
I bought a complete diagnostic tool to work on them, but as rudimentary as the controls are, as they age, there are quirks that develop that can't be fixed.
I upgraded to a 2013 Passat diesel that I thought might replace what I have been relying on, but....it's been sitting at the dealership since the end of March waiting on emissions parts.
I may have to go back into the 90s in order to have a decent vehicle that can be repaired.
SAD!
My current vehicle is a Whyte uk mountain bike (awesome) plus 4 drivers. I spend about $100-$140 a month hiring them. A decent HiLux here is $25-30k. They call me “The dude with a backpack (rucksack)” Uhhh…math works. Ed
Edit - international moving sucks. I should have paid for the extra 10x10 container myself and shipped my F250 as well. 20/20 on the back end.😂
Despite its old age, my many miled 'Merry 2000 Olds,' I won't voluntarily give it up. I hate driving newer loaners when it's in for repairs. An occasional ride in newer computer screened car is even worse. I do keep in mind, that in my youth, cars were revered. Objects of great affection and extreme care. Even helped rebuild a Henry J engine in a class. A fun experience! Having a car opened access to places Chicago public transportation would never take me. Sorry they've lost their standing with today's folks.
We go to car shows in Scottsdale. Last brand new car my husband sat in was so computerised he said he would need to take a course to learn how to drive it.
Does this mean that we can buy a vintage Ford or Chevy and as long as we have friends who know their way around a wrench, so we can avoid the computers! (I would miss my backup camera!)
I had my husband disable the automatic brights, I couldn’t stand it, they didn’t work according to actual human needs and driving etiquette.
Mentoring a 16 YO on how to safely and properly handle a chainsaw (I only have 4), helping our elderly neighbors…My Wife said, “He idolizes You” Response = He’s a Dang Fine Kid…He is a Darn good carver/whittler, i.e. I’m learning as well…You wanna build treehouse? Meaning of Life. 😁🔥🏴☠️, Ed
Don’t forget the chaps. I lost the lateral cutaneous nerve in my left thigh when I opened it up when a newly sharpened chain caught my canvas shorts. I could have lost a lot more- the cut went dow to the muscle fascia but stopped there. Years later I still do not have much feeling lateral on that thigh.
Choose life. " I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, love the Lord your God, obey him, and remain faithful to him." Deuteronomy 30:19-20a

Thank you for this. I am going to try harder to teach my grandchildren about the good things in life. I am glad you are doing well. JJ
We live in a small city. We are surrounded by farm land. A 1/2 hour south east is a ski resort, a 1/2 hour west is a reservoir, a 1/2 an hour south west are beautiful mountains for camping and fishing. We have the out door fun 1/2 hour away . There are hiking trails just above our house that hike into the mountains. We live in a great place. There are time I still miss living on the family farm. But my community has a lot of great people who live here. You can still ride your bikes through the neighborhood, the kids play night games in the Summer. Life is good here. It drives me crazy to think about the nonsense these evil men want to put on us.
Amen.
At 76, I confess: Sometimes I sit at the "grownups" table and sometimes with the "kids". I thoroughly enjoy the conversation at both "tables", as a listener and a participant.
I also enjoy sitting alone. I'm not bad company -- the result of a "Trad" childhood during which I was often left to my own devices. On a typical day I ran wild, barefoot, through heaven-knows-what, that I had to scrub off with sand before I showed up for dinner!
A thought: It is sad when your own company does not sustain you and you find yourself reliant on the attention of others, (including social media and AI.)
Get to know yourself and then get over yourself......like every other living thing, you will be offered continual opportunities to grow and learn.
It's not just about you....got it?
....then go out to meet the world!
I find refuge in animals. They're not as combative, which makes it appear that I must have my way. Well, that true in many ways. I don't ask for much and they don't either.
Animals are characters in their own right, and pretty good at sussing out humans. I have been know to 'award' extra credit to humans surrounded by animals! The animals know.
Healthy traditional family life is the bedrock of every shining and thriving civilization. Western educational and governmental policies have been systematically attacking the family for some time, and our societies now bear the sorry fruit of that campaign.
I didn’t know you went to northwestern med school - me, too!
Thank you for the great essay!
God bless you, Dr. Malone.
Re:Cabrini Green. If you thought that was bad you should have visited Altgeld Gardens. An old army post hidden south on the DanRyan expressway. I went there to write up a health insurance plan for the only grocery store. As I entered the smell was so disgusting my stomach turned over. If I had not known politicians care little about poor black people, Altgeld Gardens brought it home. Of course Cabrini Green was just west of the lucrative downtown area. As land prices increased the residents were told they would find them a better place to live. Politicians tore down Cabrini Green and replaced it with townhouse s selling for $500,000 and up. The promise of a better place to live was subjected to the suburbs willing to take them in. Many ended up in Englewood. Sad ending. I mention this because it serves as a warning. $$s run our politicians. Don't trust them.
Popped on PBS last night for the BBC news, first time in months, Fauci was interviewed on the new Covid variant. He said he’s not concerned because 96% of community has been exposed and has protection, not worried about hospitalizations and death….then he went on to say very worried no one will take the vaccine coming out 25 Sept for the variant that’s circulating now because they’ll be cavalier citing previous infection or immunity. The grave seriousness of the BBC reporter would only hear gloom and doom, why not ask “but you just said the opposite ….” Or “how can a vaccine weeks after the virus is spreading help? And isn’t it always mutating so this cocktail will be out of date?” https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-66643426
YouTube policies in place and other censorship locking in to prevent common sense questions. Be on the alert and stand firm, I will use Fauci’s own words with deceived loved ones to show vaccination is unnecessary
Despite the Evil on flagrant display these past few years, Humanity still has amazing prospects ahead. It is hard to believe this when people are deluged with fear porn and tyranny. It is much easier to believe the doom and give up and GIVE IN to the negative crap. We must resist this, and everything else they try to force on us that We Know is immoral, awful, and against God's wishes for us. Resist.
You, Dr's Malone, are doing the next greater thing: Leading in a positive direction. Thank you and God Bless you for doing this, for using your voices to say these things. All us parents need to hear these things and we need to live positive lives for our children. Peace to all.
