As a well-known adage holds: “To the victor go the spoils.” But it might well add: “Meanwhile, the losers go to the gallows.”

This is the logic of victor’s justice. It is the logic of the Treaty of Versailles, which demanded unpayable reparations from the vanquished German nation. It is the logic of the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal, where perpetrators of war crimes pronounced judgement on the war crimes of the defeated. It is the logic of Abu Ghraib, where the US military tortured and killed its enemy captives.   Continue reading “Victor’s Justice: The Truth About the International Criminal Court”

The Organic Prepper

Writing an article about “what makeshift weapons can you use when you do not have weapons” sounds completely out of the prepper realm. Because when the SHTF and you find yourself in your home without any real weapons, that usually means you are not a prepper or survivalist in the first place. But there are situations when people don’t have or cannot have guns.

Given my experience writing about this topic might help you in a way that you understand what people did in those cases. It may help you to know how human psychology works when something bad happens and you are not prepared.   Continue reading “Selco’s Principles of Successful Makeshift Weapons When You Don’t (or Can’t) Have a Gun”

The schools our children are taught in are almost universally run by liberals who hate everything we stand for, but we don’t demand that our representatives pull funding from state schools that behave that way.   Continue reading “Time for Action: Chase Bank Denies Service to Conservatives”
