Thanks for posting this interview. So much was exposed that afterwards it made me feel afraid. Migration, Chinese invasion, CA people leaving in droves, the ‘west’ seems sick and acts as if a parasite is draining our morals. Our government along with UN is funding this huge migration with no end in sight nor a way to accommodate or offer jobs for their livelihood. Chinese males in huge numbers are mixing in with these migrants. News systems are silent about the complexity. Millions of people are not a minor change, but a threat to our stability. It’s so obvious and yet Congress seems happy just to spend billions with no oversight or good outcomes and never discuss the crimes committed. We need to wake up to what’s going on and it’s much worse than just migration. UN is making migration seem an easy journey; however, many are robbed, raped, and harmed. The environment through this path is greatly threatened with trash everywhere and animals are basically unseen. The invasion of Chinese males wouldn’t be here without permission from China. Our government uses no accountability for the thousands that cross every day even though we have biometric tools that could help build a database.
I thought right after 9/11 that the federal government would have to seal the border.
The government has long ago past the point at which the American people, realizing it no longer served them, had a moral right to "alter or abolish it." The fact that we even have laws against insurrection would have appalled Thomas Jefferson.
I've watched and listened to perhaps 100s of interviews over the last four years. This, Tucker/Weinstein, is the most important and scariest. And that, considering what we've all been exposed to recently, and where Weinstein comes from intellectually, is horrifying.
I agree Doug. As I watched this I thought of Kamala Harris and her ‘root cause’ of migration investigation 2 years ago. She made it as far as Guatemala, then came back to USA and played up the migrants were all from countries north of Panama. Not a peep about the Darien Gap from her.
Journalists Ben Bergquam, Oscar "El Blue" Ramirez and Michael Yon have been covering the Darien Gap phenomenon for years. The Bret Weinstein interview with Tucker adds unique, valuable perspective and analysis. I do regret that Mr. Weinstein did not acknowledge the years of fine journalism reporting--including videos of their own risk-to-life-treks through the entire length of the Darien Gap. Ben and Oscar reported words from the migrants themselves while journeying through terrain hostile to humans, even if "prepared"--which no migrant ever is. Michael Yon's extensive, global military combat reporting, intel and photographing is unparalleled analysis.
Thanks for the recommendations and insight that there are many others before Bret to look at this. In the interview, Bret does state that it was Michael that invited him to in-person view of the Transit Camps, and Bret shared his familiarity with the area as he and his wife worked on an island in the middle of the Panama Canal (biology work) many years back. I'm now interested to look deeper into Ben, Oscar and Michael's reporting on Darien Gap. I think Michael is also likely to expand his journalistic work to track back where the majority of migrants are coming from, upon arrival in Ecuador, and then more importantly, who/what is funding those trips to the Central America start point. Is this the bigger story yet to be told?
So far, everything called a conspiracy theory over the last handful of years, has turned out to be nothing more than spoiler alerts! Those calling our concern about being invaded a conspiracy theory, are going to be mightily surprised when we are once again, proved correct. Too bad at that point it just might be too late!
The stupidity of the Biden administration is beyond belief. Apparently it knows no bounds. This is stupidity on a cosmic level. They say they care about the environment, but look what’s happening to the environment in the jungles of Panama. What Brett said about a highway going through the Darien gap and how that will lead to the forest/ jungle being destroyed as an ecosystem is appalling. The whole Biden enterprise of bringing almost two million unvetted people into US from 170 countries per year is crazy. A Dem argument against impeaching Mayorkas is that he’s just following the policies of the Biden administration? Well, they’re both breaking the law, so impeach them both. Biden‘s policy is pro invasion—that’s got to be unconstitutional. Didn’t he take a vow to protect and defend? I don’t see either one of those things happening. Doesn’t the second amendment say that in order to ensure the security of the state the right to bear arm shall not be infringed? A sovereign state is supposed to be secure, not insecure and open to invasion.
Shouldn't we all be more appalled that our country is being invaded? And it's not because of stupidity. It's been well planned and executed. My question, Why are we sitting behind our keyboards doing nothing?!
“Why are we sitting behind our keyboards doing nothing?!”
There is nothing we can do but you assume the left is winning. They’re not winning. They’re destroying. That’s not winning. That’s insanity. I believe the wild card here is the incredibly rapid advance of AI. That’s the only thing powerful enough to get control of all of our out of control problems. For whatever reason, AI sails past most people like water off a duck’s back. Ray Kurzweil is one of the most well known and respected AI researchers in the world but most on Sasha’s site have no interest in who he is or what he’s saying about AI. It is what it is though. I’m old enough to not be surprised about anything that happens in our fallen and very strange world.
Western anti-Westernism means what it says. Its objective is to damage the West. The West has been weaponized against itself. And that is very convenient for the Chinese. Chinese elites are patriotic. Western elites are anti-patriotic. Their main objective at this point is to protect themselves against "peasant revolt", which has become how they view democracy. China's "elite capture" is congruent with the self-interests of Western elites. Both now have a common enemy: the ordinary people of the West.
I will check out this Kurzweil guy. But any AI has to begin with values or objectives, and, last I knew, Lefties were trumpeting how "woke" AI is, or rather how "woke" it has been programmed to be.
This “Kurzweil guy” is one of the world’s top AI scientists, well known and respected globally. I recommend watching what Elon has to say about his “X.AI.” This “Elon guy” is a visionary genius, a once in a century genius so he is worth listening to.

Peter Diamandis interviews Elon Musk. Jan 19, 2024
Sorry, but what I read on Wikipedia (more closely the second time than the first time) was not impressive. His successful AI programs were "limited-purpose" rather than "general-purpose". His predictions were dismissed as "unfalsifiable". And his argument about "living forever" is a text-book example of an "all things being equal" argument being deployed in a situation where this condition is, almost certainly, not met: the aging process must in time reduce, to less than a year, the amount of life-expectancy that can be added with every year of life. I am quite familiar with the "all things being equal" semi-fallacy in historical linguistics, where it seems there is hardly a significant argument that does not use it. (I admit that I myself may not be entirely blameless in this regard ...Maybe making invalid "all things being equal" arguments is an occupational hazard in the field.) With luck, bad luck, I may live to see his "living forever" argument falsified. At this point, only the idlest of idle curiosity produces in me any interest in living to see the future. I am locally (quite locally) notorious for being Mr. Doom and Gloom.
But I will check out "this Elon guy" ... Maybe he (and his AI) will strike me as better.
It is true, you gotta watch out for Wikipedia. It’s under leftist control. Next CEO of NPR will be Katherine Maher, who has been on every world government board there is, and is currently Wikimedia’s (WMF) foundation chief. WMF owns Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information. I think that was just a hit piece on him. I’ve read enough and seen enough on videos to know that Ray Kurzweil is very well respected by his peers. Even in the video you can see questions from audience members who are from all over the world who respect him. Elon is also deeply hated by the left. Means nothing at all.
It is real though and has so much momentum in back of it that it’s taken on a life of its own and cannot be stopped. Plus I trust people like Ray Kurzweil vastly more than I trust Sleepy Joe and the democrats plus if you develop something like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s you’ll be praying to God to make AI advanced enough to save you from your dreadful fate.
I definitely don’t trust Joe. But I also worry that AI will be used for nefarious purposes. I’m more aligned with the natural world and don’t feel very comfortable in our rapidly advancing technocracy, it’s too much too soon and I don’t think the world is ready for it. Like you say it’s taken on a life of its own, and that definitely doesn’t make me feel good. My dad died from Parkinson’s, so I agree that a cure would be great. But more so I’d like to find its root cause (Alzheimer’s too, though I think that’s most likely from heavy metal poisoning), which I believe is from our highly chemicalized world we live in.
“But I also worry that AI will be used for nefarious purposes.”
But how about the fact that those who rule us are quite insane? The two most powerful men on earth are Joe who is Woke and has dementia and China’s President Xi who admires Mao. This is just not working at all plus there’s Mother Nature who could destroy us all at any time with something like a super volcano plus any one of us could develop a deadly disease or chronic pain or chronic fatigue at any time. For a great many people our world is simply hell. I also recommend watching what Elon has to say about this.

Peter Diamandis interviews Elon Musk. Jan 19, 2024
Carol, vote R & Trump. He made control of border and ‘stay in Mexico’ policy, by executive order. We need that again. Biden is giving out political amnesty to migrants and stay in USA. And it’s a f’ing disaster. These migrants are not political refugees. They are fleeing bad economic in their home countries. If too many D’s get into Congress, they will pass a bill to make all illegals, legal voters. D’s tried it in 2021:
Re the environment, you are 100% correct. These people walk across our border and just dump whatever they don't want - clothes, personal care items, etc. on the ground. Oh, and their ripped up id's. Disgusting. Some areas are knee deep in this stuff, and it's having environmental consequences on land and water, including wildlife. I saw one border patrol guy handing big plastic bags to a group of crossers and making them clean up some of the mess, which I thought was great.
“The stupidity of the Biden administration is beyond belief. Apparently it knows no bounds.”
It’s beyond stupidity and is deeply insane and there are “no bounds” or limits on what they do.
“Our condition is forever precarious; even basic human decency can shatter and vanish in an instant.”
“The everyday order of our lives may seem to us natural and permanent, but it is in fact as fragile and illusory as the cardboard props on a theatrical stage: It can collapse in a flash and turn at once into black horror. Our condition is forever precarious; even basic human decency can shatter and vanish in an instant.”
“History does not repeat itself, but ideas do.”
“Maoism had unique traits but Leys nonetheless always saw it as a member of what he called the “great totalitarian family”—ideologies produced by patterns of thought found across human societies, from tiny shipwrecked pre-Enlightenment microcosms to vast 20th century nations.”
“Analyst of Totalitarianism-Reading Simon Leys Today.”
One of his best interviews. Scary. I've wondered why we don't hear more often that our present establishment is compromised by China. All the insane stuff they do. The incessant focus on Russia when China is the bigger threat by far.
Oscar Blue Ramirez is a Mexican journalist who covers the flood of migrants coming to the US. He supports Trump and is horrified by what the democrats have done with the border that enables the trafficking of children into the country by the cartels who control the southern border. In this video he interviews the leader of a caravan who says these countries along the caravan route are fueling this and it’s been weaponized to harm the US by these countries including Mexico. He says he’s stunned by how stupid the United States is. So am I. Quite a damning interview. Hard to see how we can survive as a country with so many of our fellow Americans supporting the Democratic Party which is responsible for this. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
“Leader of caravan says, The US has dropped the ball, immigration has been weaponized.” (5 min)
They’re also good at manipulating emotions such as hate, guilt and even goodness. People with good hearts and faulty minds are the ones who’ve paved the road to hell with the best of intentions. I live in Chicago and often see news videos about the “migrant crisis” here which worsens by the day not only here but nation-wide. Many of the white people they interview say we need to do everything we can to help them. They have the best of intentions but don’t understand that no borders means no country and no country is one of the many roads to hell.
It seems to me that abortion is running the show, the right are hell bent on stopping it and their drive to control women's lives will cost them all our lives.
The right sees it as murder. The left sees it as a woman’s right. I’m pro-choice but the left has so warped the issue that I could never side with them plus the left has also severely warped every issue from immigration to education to policing to the military to meritocracy. Is there any issue they haven’t “inverted” as Bret Weinstein so accurately calls it? What good will it do for pro-choice women to win if it means the country they live in collapses and is destroyed? This is something they simply don’t understand since they only focus on this one issue and pretty much ignore the fact that the country they live in is disintegrating.
Abortion was mostly over-looked by the right until the left took it to extremes and wanted to murder up until birth. As always, the left goes to such extremes that it is inverted on every issue they promote.
And the Left is hell-bent on normalizing Labor-Pangs Abortion. The very soul of righteousness! Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, women seeking abortion have a moral obligation to do so sooner rather than later: the later its is, the worse it is. Are the late-abortion bans that are normal in Western Europe the result of Christian Nationalism seeking to control women's lives? Really? How many Christians are left in Western Europe?
Donna, Abortion has cost the lives of millions of little pre-born girls and boys in a horrific death of being pulled limb from limb. Those numbers are millions more than the few dozen women who have a life threatening pregnancy in a year.
This interview is exceptionally insightful. There are too many red flags to suggest mere coincidence. The trend lines instead suggest malicious intent. How many of our leaders have been co-opted (passive voice)? Bret Weinstein has referred to himself as a ‘dissident’ in the current intellectual sphere. I am with him!
It was chilling to hear Brett Weinstein state that he wasn’t sure how much time we have to try and rectify this. Our American borders could be secured today. We have a legal humane process that allows safe and migration into our country. Many people have secured legal status by using that process. If the President wont enforce these existing laws, then the Congress should be drafting and proposing new legislation. They won’t because most of the President’s party are gutless and hide behind his executive orders. Let them come to the podium in the chamber and tell the American public why they support this invasion.
This is no time for timidity or naïveté. The devil is at the door and we want to see some guts, grit and determination to abide by the oaths that each of them took to protect our nation.
this reminds me that at the time of the Afghanistan withdrawal there were people who were saying it was such a terrible strategic move that it could not have been a mere accident.
Bret Weinstein is a progressive leftist appalled by what a hideously evil monstrosity the Woke left has become. He says he’d rather vote for Trump than Biden but believes Trump is so hated by so many due to all the years of being demonized as another Hitler that Trump will be unable to govern and the country will collapse into rioting and anarchy. I agree. This is also what Vivek, my favorite, says.
Thanks for posting Sasha.This is terrifying in so many dimensions. It is obvious that a nuclear or military conquest of the USA makes no sense, so how best to do it? Infiltrate academia, Media, Govt through groupthnk and money, then develop population control trough infiltration and eventual genocidal cleansing. Control the country's resources through occupation and displaced serfs. The Belt and road initiative had the Eurasian resources well in hand - and is executing beautifully with the cooperation of the elitists in the BRICS nations. This interview highlights phase 2 of the Chinese strategy to dominate the planet. We all have a responsibility to get this to our elected officials and vote Trump as our last hope to shut this down. And hopefully dismiss the UN while we're at it.
“It is obvious that a nuclear or military conquest of the USA makes no sense, so how best to do it?”
But something so bizarre and wildly insane could not have happened in a sane and functional society. It’s the Woke virus, that Elon calls a “mind virus,” that destroyed our cultural immune system and allowed all these pathologies to flourish. America is like a beautiful but mortally wounded leopard in the jungle being preyed upon by scavengers as she lays dying.
One of my favorite journalists at the WSJ is Holman Jenkins. Here’s what he had to say about the left in an article: “The charge of ‘systemic racism’ is their obsession. Using the word rightly, however, ‘systemic’ in America has been our attempt to protect individual rights against the immoral chaos of nature, including human nature, from which all kinds of racial and other irrational hatred emerge. This may be a losing battle in the long run - nature will prevail, civilization won’t.”
Using Google Earth Pro, I went to "The City of Knowledge" overlooking the Mira Flores locks on the Panama Canal as Bret describes, mostly out of curiosity as usual. What baffled me was that when I clicked on the place icon located at the main gate, up popped an image that I can only describe as something that looks like a huge submarine or torpedo traveling under an iceberg. I have no idea how this image relates in any way to an educational foundation's campus in Central America, but it's just another weird piece of the puzzle in this very strange story. Try it, and tell me what you think.
Some excerpts below from a Quillette review of a book about the irrational side of human nature. The last one says: “One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.” That sure is the truth. Are we in a “Dark Age” where reason is in retreat? Certainly does seem so.
“Mackay makes the case, often in gory detail, that episodes of collective mania seem to be an inevitable consequence of human nature. Humans in every time and place have cast aside their better judgment and allowed themselves to be caught up in all manner of irrational hoopla.“
“His chapters on the Swabian Peasants’ War and Anabaptist uprisings are terrifying depictions of the end-times frenzy that wreaked havoc on northern Europe throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. The distance between these events in the German-speaking world and, say, the Reign of Terror in France or the Chinese Cultural Revolution is not that great. And the speed with which apparently reasonable people moved from the embrace of a new theological idea to a willingness to torture those whose own theological ideas diverged even slightly is startling.“
“There is plenty to recommend about The Delusions of Crowds. It is laden with great anecdotes and the writing is always engaging. One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.”
Michael Yon has stated that 70% of the migrant invasion funding comes directly from the U.S. government. 20% from the UN and 10% from the Chinese government.

https://youtu.be/c4JeWFQgEIo?si=r0Dfs1-ERG8A1nVA
Bret (and writer Michael Yon) are starting to pull on a much larger story, that Bret says at this time ‘has no name’.
Journalists Ben Bergquam, Oscar "El Blue" Ramirez and Michael Yon have been covering the Darien Gap phenomenon for years. The Bret Weinstein interview with Tucker adds unique, valuable perspective and analysis. I do regret that Mr. Weinstein did not acknowledge the years of fine journalism reporting--including videos of their own risk-to-life-treks through the entire length of the Darien Gap. Ben and Oscar reported words from the migrants themselves while journeying through terrain hostile to humans, even if "prepared"--which no migrant ever is.

I'm now interested to look deeper into Ben, Oscar and Michael's reporting on Darien Gap. I think Michael is also likely to expand his journalistic work to track back where the majority of migrants are coming from, upon arrival in Ecuador, and then more importantly, who/what is funding those trips to the Central America start point. Is this the bigger story yet to be told?
I remember hearing somewhere that is funded by the UN through Unesco.
I had the same thoughts. Scary
This was the best interview that explains what is happening. Chilling to say the least.
I found this CNN article from Apr '23 on the Darien Gap migration. Shows in-depth maps of Darien Gap, journey and videos/pics:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/15/americas/darien-gap-migrants-colombia-panama-whole-story-cmd-intl/index.html
Great article with good maps. 66 miles of treachery to go through. Thank you for adding this piece.

“Maoism had unique traits but Leys nonetheless always saw it as a member of what he called the “great totalitarian family”—ideologies produced by patterns of thought found across human societies, from tiny shipwrecked pre-Enlightenment microcosms to vast 20th century nations.”

One of his best interviews. Scary. I've wondered why we don't hear more often that our present establishment is compromised by China. All the insane stuff they do. The incessant focus on Russia when China is the bigger threat by far.
Tucker/Brett
You guys need to interview Ben Berquam
And Oscar Blue. They have been in and out of Darian Gap for a number of years and have vast experience and knowledge of what is happening.
Bannons War Room covers all of what Brett speaks about and have been doing this for years.
Time for an interview Tucker!
Oscar Blue Ramirez is a Mexican journalist who covers the flood of migrants coming to the US. He supports Trump and is horrified by what the democrats have done with the border that enables the trafficking of children into the country by the cartels who control the southern border. In this video he interviews the leader of a caravan who says these countries along the caravan route are fueling this and it’s been weaponized to harm the US by these countries including Mexico. He says he’s stunned by how stupid the United States is. So am I. Quite a damning interview. Hard to see how we can survive as a country with so many of our fellow Americans supporting the Democratic Party which is responsible for this. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

The master strength of the Democrat party is gaslighting. They have convinced millions of gullible people that they are the good guys.
They’re also good at manipulating emotions such as hate, guilt and even goodness. People with good hearts and faulty minds are the ones who’ve paved the road to hell with the best of intentions. I live in Chicago and often see news videos about the “migrant crisis” here which worsens by the day not only here but nation-wide. Many of the white people they interview say we need to do everything we can to help them. They have the best of intentions but don’t understand that no borders means no country and no country is one of the many roads to hell.
It seems to me that abortion is running the show, the right are hell bent on stopping it and their drive to control women's lives will cost them all our lives.
The right sees it as murder. The left sees it as a woman’s right. I’m pro-choice but the left has so warped the issue that I could never side with them plus the left has also severely warped every issue from immigration to education to policing to the military to meritocracy. Is there any issue they haven’t “inverted” as Bret Weinstein so accurately calls it? What good will it do for pro-choice women to win if it means the country they live in collapses and is destroyed? This is something they simply don’t understand since they only focus on this one issue and pretty much ignore the fact that the country they live in is disintegrating.
Yes, Seva. Great retort. I simply cannot understand these woman hyper focused on abortion as the world crumbles around them.
Abortion was mostly over-looked by the right until the left took it to extremes and wanted to murder up until birth. As always, the left goes to such extremes that it is inverted on every issue they promote.
Mono-mania simplifies intellectual life. No balancing of "all things being equal" arguments. Just table-pounding.
And the Left is hell-bent on normalizing Labor-Pangs Abortion. The very soul of righteousness! Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, women seeking abortion have a moral obligation to do so sooner rather than later: the later its is, the worse it is. Are the late-abortion bans that are normal in Western Europe the result of Christian Nationalism seeking to control women's lives? Really? How many Christians are left in Western Europe?
What does abortion have to do with this interview?
Donna, Abortion has cost the lives of millions of little pre-born girls and boys in a horrific death of being pulled limb from limb. Those numbers are millions more than the few dozen women who have a life threatening pregnancy in a year.
This interview is exceptionally insightful. There are too many red flags to suggest mere coincidence. The trend lines instead suggest malicious intent. How many of our leaders have been co-opted (passive voice)? Bret Weinstein has referred to himself as a ‘dissident’ in the current intellectual sphere. I am with him!
It was chilling to hear Brett Weinstein state that he wasn’t sure how much time we have to try and rectify this. Our American borders could be secured today. We have a legal humane process that allows safe and migration into our country. Many people have secured legal status by using that process. If the President wont enforce these existing laws, then the Congress should be drafting and proposing new legislation. They won’t because most of the President’s party are gutless and hide behind his executive orders. Let them come to the podium in the chamber and tell the American public why they support this invasion.
This is no time for timidity or naïveté. The devil is at the door and we want to see some guts, grit and determination to abide by the oaths that each of them took to protect our nation.
this reminds me that at the time of the Afghanistan withdrawal there were people who were saying it was such a terrible strategic move that it could not have been a mere accident.
Shocking interview!
Abhorent policy.
We are doomed in Biden reelected
Bret Weinstein is a progressive leftist appalled by what a hideously evil monstrosity the Woke left has become. He says he’d rather vote for Trump than Biden but believes Trump is so hated by so many due to all the years of being demonized as another Hitler that Trump will be unable to govern and the country will collapse into rioting and anarchy. I agree. This is also what Vivek, my favorite, says.
Thanks for posting Sasha.This is terrifying in so many dimensions. It is obvious that a nuclear or military conquest of the USA makes no sense, so how best to do it? Infiltrate academia, Media, Govt through groupthnk and money, then develop population control trough infiltration and eventual genocidal cleansing. Control the country's resources through occupation and displaced serfs. The Belt and road initiative had the Eurasian resources well in hand - and is executing beautifully with the cooperation of the elitists in the BRICS nations. This interview highlights phase 2 of the Chinese strategy to dominate the planet. We all have a responsibility to get this to our elected officials and vote Trump as our last hope to shut this down. And hopefully dismiss the UN while we're at it.
“It is obvious that a nuclear or military conquest of the USA makes no sense, so how best to do it?”
But something so bizarre and wildly insane could not have happened in a sane and functional society. It’s the Woke virus, that Elon calls a “mind virus,” that destroyed our cultural immune system and allowed all these pathologies to flourish. America is like a beautiful but mortally wounded leopard in the jungle being preyed upon by scavengers as she lays dying.
One of my favorite journalists at the WSJ is Holman Jenkins. Here’s what he had to say about the left in an article: “The charge of ‘systemic racism’ is their obsession. Using the word rightly, however, ‘systemic’ in America has been our attempt to protect individual rights against the immoral chaos of nature, including human nature, from which all kinds of racial and other irrational hatred emerge. This may be a losing battle in the long run - nature will prevail, civilization won’t.”
Using Google Earth Pro, I went to "The City of Knowledge" overlooking the Mira Flores locks on the Panama Canal as Bret describes, mostly out of curiosity as usual. What baffled me was that when I clicked on the place icon located at the main gate, up popped an image that I can only describe as something that looks like a huge submarine or torpedo traveling under an iceberg. I have no idea how this image relates in any way to an educational foundation's campus in Central America, but it's just another weird piece of the puzzle in this very strange story. Try it, and tell me what you think.
Some excerpts below from a Quillette review of a book about the irrational side of human nature. The last one says: “One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.” That sure is the truth. Are we in a “Dark Age” where reason is in retreat? Certainly does seem so.
“Mackay makes the case, often in gory detail, that episodes of collective mania seem to be an inevitable consequence of human nature. Humans in every time and place have cast aside their better judgment and allowed themselves to be caught up in all manner of irrational hoopla.“
“His chapters on the Swabian Peasants’ War and Anabaptist uprisings are terrifying depictions of the end-times frenzy that wreaked havoc on northern Europe throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. The distance between these events in the German-speaking world and, say, the Reign of Terror in France or the Chinese Cultural Revolution is not that great. And the speed with which apparently reasonable people moved from the embrace of a new theological idea to a willingness to torture those whose own theological ideas diverged even slightly is startling.“
“There is plenty to recommend about The Delusions of Crowds. It is laden with great anecdotes and the writing is always engaging. One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.”

From Seth Rich to the Southern border, the story of how democracy died as the government lied.
Michael Yon has stated that 70% of the migrant invasion funding comes directly from the U.S. government. 20% from the UN and 10% from the Chinese government.
