English Government

In this wonderfully clarifying essay, Waleed Aly examines what happened to liberalism. As a set of ideas, it offered formal equality and guaranteed freedoms. But more and more, we live in a post-liberal world. Aly looks and how and why this has happened. He discusses what has taken liberalism's place as we tackle thorny questions of freedom of speech and equality of opportunity. And he examines the limits of liberalism, the rise of illiberal democracy and the new battles over identity. This is a supple and original essay about the forces transforming our politics.

This centuries-long plan for world government has always had an underlying thread of depopulation. Sometimes the evidence of this multigenerational conspiracy is buried in the details of declassified foreign policy documents and historic records, though oftentimes this eugenics plan is public knowledge masquerading as trusted science, school textbooks, and established cultural norms. Managing the human farm to maintain global control works most efficiently with fewer people. Covert methods are being employed to depopulate the planet to a more manageable level.

Peter Dale Scott has written extensively on the Kennedy assassination and other dark corners of the American political scene. His encyclopedic knowledge enables him to connect the dots among the players, the organizations, and the unacknowledged collusions--the deep politics-- of our often troubled political system. Deep Politics on Oswald, Mexico, and Cuba, originally published in 1995, narrows the focus of Scott's earlier Deep Politics and the Death of JFK.

Three of the strangest subjects of our time — UFO contact, human consciousness, and the race to control artificial intelligence — turn out to be one story. Very few people get invited to the most advanced research laboratory in the world to speak one-on-one to top US Space Command leadership to talk AI at the most secretive military base where the Roswell alien wreckage and bodies were taken. Sean Webb is one of them. As the author of the Mind Hacking Happiness series — his mind-mastery work endorsed by U.S.

An emerita professor of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies delivers a searing account of how the modern university lost its way. A decades-long insider in the academy, she argues that the progressive disciplines she once devoted her life to helped erode intellectual freedom and open inquiry. From the classroom to the dean’s office, she shows how faculty and administrators fostered a culture of grievance, elevated activism over scholarship, and enforced ideological conformity in the name of social justice.

Within this essay, Orwell criticises the 'ugly and inaccurate' written English of his time and examines the connection between political orthodoxies and the debasement of language. The essay focuses on political language, which, according to Orwell, 'is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind'. Bad English, he believed, was a vehicle for oppressive ideology.

Reforging Excalibur is an exciting and unique proposal for restructuring America’s armed forces in order to better prepare us for Fourth-Generation warfare. After a withering critique of the bloat and waste of the Department of Defense and Pentagon’s “business as usual” attitude towards military spending, the authors disclose why this approach is unsustainable in terms of budget and combat readiness. In short, while our military is prepared to fight wars with other state militaries, it is woefully unprepared — psychologically and structurally — to succeed in Fourth-Generation warfare.
