Everything Old is New Again

Roman emperor and stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius emphasized virtues grounded in reason, resilience, and ethical integrity, reflecting his contemplative and pragmatic approach to life. Foremost among these was the virtue of wisdom, which Aurelius saw as the discernment of the nature of the world and fluctuating human affairs.

Justice, another cardinal virtue he identified required a personal commitment to fairness and benevolence in all dealings. Courage, in Aurelius's view, transcended physical bravery, encompassing moral fortitude and the resilience to face life's adversities and uncertainties with equanimity.

Among his most valued, self-discipline was seen as crucial for maintaining personal integrity and focus, allowing one to resist transient desires and distractions, and align actions with rational principles.

Aurelius’ masterwork Meditations, a kind of personal diary with valuable guidance and wisdom for young men is given no placement in any public schooling curriculum today, which manifests only increasing rates of degeneracy and illiteracy at ever-increasing taxpayer expense.

Aurelius opens Book One with acknowledgments of gratitude and debt to his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Of his father’s lessons, he cites integrity and manliness. Of his grandfather—character and self-control. Of his great grandfather, he learned something more relevant today than ever before, proving some things never change: “To avoid the public schools, to hire good private teachers, and to accept the resulting costs of money well spent.”

Forget the state and its destructive enforcers of immorality. Forget international speculators working for the forces of global technocracy and its planned “woke” agenda being implemented at corporate board meetings and incentivized in HR departments. All collective resistance and revolution starts with individuals and the choices they make for their lives and the lives of their families.https://thegoodcitizen.live/p/androgynopolis

OPEN LETTER: To the Prime Minister of the "New World Order"
​TO: The Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
FROM: Jennifer Elizabeth Telfer
​I. The Banker in the PMO
​You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
