Quotations

"Never get angry except on purpose." Chas Freeman


"Boris’s ebullient and facile phraseology made people feel good about voting Conservative; as The New York Times once remarked of Warren G. Harding, “In [his] misty language the great majority see a reflection of their own indeterminate thoughts.” Derek Turner in Chronicles, October 29, 2025

"The “Muslim Vote”, the “Hindu Manifesto”, the “Yoruba Manifesto” and more are all campaign groups or pledge organisations that will further fracture traditional voting blocs in this country, pushing us more toward the kind of politics we have seen in Northern Ireland and Lebanon than what we have traditionally been used to." Matt Goodwin

"Europe can only be saved by returning to Christ." Viktor Orban

This is an insane story: the US tried to bribe Venezuela's presidential pilot into kidnapping his own head of state mid-flight. And by the way the plot was conceived under "rules-based order" Biden and continued under Trump, which again goes to show that the packaging may change, but the product remains the same: regime change, lawlessness, and utter contempt for others' sovereignty are fully bipartisan.

“If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. 
"He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in the world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. 
"He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. 
"The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?” - Mark Twain
