Harvey’s Introduction
Matthew Peterson traces the roots of BLM to the underlying theology of Marxism. Peterson argues that we don’t take Marxist philosophy seriously enough because there is little public support for direct in class warfare. But the BLM movement draws on the underlying Marxist philosophy; however instead of class, BLM relies on race and other intersectional “victims” of “white privilege”. Their aim is to completely recast American society and they are being funded by elite foundations and supported by academia and media.
Harvey’s Introduction
Alberto Fernandez likens the network of organizations that act as a supporting network for BLM and Antifa to what President Eisenhower defined as the “military/industrial complex. These enablers and support groups, he argues, are members who don’t fully appreciate their role in supporting these fully anti-American groups. Nor do they understand the objectives of these organizations and movements.. Fernandez identifies some enabling organizations and describes what he thinks ought to be done to weaken and then destroy their support.
Harvey’s Introduction
Kevin Williamson writes an interesting essay every Tuesday called “The Tuesday”.. Easy to remember. This one talks about how what Democrats don’t like is “illegitimate” as in Trump is an illegitimate president, Amy Barrett is an illegitimate nominee for the Supreme Court. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad.
Harvey’s Introduction
This is one of Dan Henninger’s best editorials. He explains why and how the Democrats completely subverted the process and did so because they couldn’t get the legislation they want except through activist court decisions.

This is an interesting analysis of CDC data on the course of the Covid pandemic. He argues persuasively, while the disease will continue, it will no longer be a pandemic
Harvey’s Introduction
Now that Israel has signed peace and diplomatic agreements with several important Sunni Arab states, what are the Palestinians to do to finally achieve their own state. Dani Pletka, a scholar with the American Enterprise Institute, has studied mid-east issues for years and describes a useful path forward for the Palestinians if they decide to become a peaceful, functioning state. I hope they do.
Harvey’s Introduction
This is an excellent article on BLM, its beliefs, its narratives, its lies. It lays out what we should do to counter this invidious organization and the movement it spawned. I was not familiar with Peterson’s work but was referred to it by Heather Mac Donald. Now that I’ve read this essay I will subscribe to the American Mind, a Claremont College magazine he is Editor. He publishes links to several other papers that deal with aspects of this issue. I urge you to click on them to get a better understanding of this organization and the movement it spawned.
Harvey’s Introduction
This essay by Heather is a response to another article, which I’ll post, on dealing with the BLM organization and movement. (The other article is by Matthew Peterson, titled Ending the BLM movement). Heather deals with refuting false narratives with facts, particularly the narrative that police target and discriminate against black people. She has written extensively on issues relating to race and policing. A wonderful scholar. You can google her or the Manhattan Institute and read her other work.
Harvey’s Introduction
Conventional wisdom is that the American Dream is fading for this generation of Americans. Conventional wisdom is wrong. Part of the reason for being wrong is that the CPI seriously overstates inflation. Part of the reason is politicians and media push a false narrative to denigrate the benefits of free markets and capitalism. Here is a brief counter to that narrative by an important scholar at the American Enterprise Institute
