Each nation, however small, is called to be a new David. It is through the small and beautiful power of local cultures that the globalist Goliath will be defeated. There are two types of nationalism. There is the “nationalism” of the great nations which all too often manifests itself in the imposition of the nation’s “greatness” on smaller and weaker neighbours. Then there is the nationalism of the small nations which often manifests itself in spirited and defiant resistance to the unwanted and unwarranted influence of their “great” neighbours.
Many examples could be given of both types of nationalism. There was the “great” nationalism of the Soviet Union with its imposition of its will on the smaller nations it had swallowed whole. But the small nations survived, even in the belly of the beast. Against all odds, in terms of so-called realpolitik, the small nations outlived the monster which had devoured them. The Soviet Union is no more. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and a host of other small and beautiful nations flourish where once the Soviet Goliath had reigned supreme.
Then there was the Serb-dominated former Yugoslavia, which disintegrated when the Croats and other small nations flexed their political and military muscle.
And then there is that “great” nation that calls itself Great Britain. As a nation it is inseparable from its Empire, gaining its sense of identity in the conquest of smaller nations. Great Britain is, by definition, an imperial nation. This is hardly surprising because, at its very inception, it was formed and forged by the imposition of the will of the English nation on its smaller neighbours: Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
