Live Not By Lies: The Gulag Lesson America Forgot

by

“Socialism does not collapse because it runs out of money. It collapses because it runs out of truth. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn understood this better than almost anyone alive. The Soviet Union was not held together by productivity, innovation, or freedom. It was held together by fear and a mountain of compulsory lies. Citizens learned to repeat obvious nonsense simply to survive. Newspapers reported record harvests while shelves sat empty. The state called itself a workers’ paradise while millions disappeared into camps. As the Bible warns in The Bible, Satan is ‘the father of lies,’ and every authoritarian system follows the same blueprint: suppress truth, punish dissent, and force the population to publicly kneel before fiction. The gulag was not the beginning of the process. It was the final invoice.”

A Quick Look at History Why it Matters for America by George Mcclellan

Whether anyone realizes it or not, and most probably don’t because our schools indoctrinate our children, not educate them, America’s current political turmoil almost precisely mirrors events that led up to the French Revolution in 1789. Unlike America’s successful Revolutionary War a few years earlier that separated Britain’s original thirteen American Colonies from the mother country, the French Revolution was the complete opposite, a revenge-filled orgy of mayhem, chaos, and mass murder that spilled the blood of thousands of people, nobles, merchants, and anyone else who didn’t agree with the usurpers’ politically correct path to totalitarianism.

The Human Benchrest: The Enduring Legacy of MAJ Ernie Vande Zande

by

Ernie Vande Zande was more than a national champion and record-setter; he was the rare competitor who made everyone around him better. Known as “the Human Benchrest,” the Army major and Camp Perry champion combined world-class precision with a quiet willingness to help any shooter who genuinely wanted to improve. His classic article Sights, Wind and Mirage still teaches competitors how to read conditions decades after it was written. Smallbore lost more than a legend when Ernie passed in 2018—it lost a mentor, a gentleman, and one of the finest ambassadors the sport has ever known.

Simple, Complex, Simple

Think about almost anything…The first thought is simple.  Then, if you keep thinking and studying, layers of complexity with expanding horizons, exponential new factors, and conflicting facts appear.

The first thought is simple.  Then, if you keep thinking and studying, layers of complexity with expanding horizons, exponential new factors, and conflicting facts appear.  Yet, after more thought and study, the holistic conclusion is simple.  A few words very loaded with meaning suffice.

Ancient Aliens, Modern Myths, and the Gospel of Space Miners

by

Ancient alien theory didn’t emerge from hard evidence—it was stitched together by imaginative authors like Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin, who took fragments of ancient texts, ignored actual linguistic scholarship, and filled the gaps with cosmic fan fiction. What followed was not discovery, but duplication—a self-reinforcing echo chamber amplified by media like Ancient Aliens, where speculation is recycled until it feels like fact. The result is a modern mythology dressed in the language of science, asking us to believe that early humans couldn’t stack stones without extraterrestrial supervision, while simultaneously expecting us to reject the idea of a Creator as “unscientific.” It’s not that the evidence demands aliens—it’s that the narrative refuses God, and will accept almost anything else.
