Mistakes Were NOT Made: An Anthem for Justice (Video)

I am elated to present this video of Dr. Tess Lawrie reading Mistakes Were NOT Made: An Anthem for Justice. My veteran Substack readers may recall it was Tess’s fearless confrontation of Andrew Hill that inspired me to launch my Profiles in Courage series. I also crowned Tess the Queen of Integrity (to Mike Yeadon’s King of Integrity) in my one-year anniversary post.

Requiem for a Smear Victim: Clemens Arvay

This is one of the more important pieces I have published.

Freedom, Slavery, and Magic Spells

Baby Alex: The Definitive Account—in His Mother’s Own Words

Many of you already know Baby Alex’s heartrending story. Unfortunately, what you know is likely inaccurate.

Cornelia appreciated the opportunity to set the record straight. Please help us get the true story of Baby Alex out to the world.

“My War”: Missive from a Fallen Veteran

“All this madness, all this rage, all this flaming death of our civilization and our hopes, has been brought about because a set of official gentlemen, living luxurious lives, mostly stupid, and all without imagination or heart, have chosen that it should occur rather than that any one of them should suffer some infinitesimal rebuff to his country’s pride.”
—Bertrand Russell on World War I

What If They Threw a Pandemic & Nobody Came?

“Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (administrators) too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery.”
—Thomas Jefferson, A Summary View of the Rights of British America
