More of Bennett's Pro-"No Pasarán" Posters at Behance

During the stressful days of the Google ban, a nightmare which lasted almost four months last summer, probably no one gave more support to this blog than Damian Bennett. This old friend of the 21-year-old blog kept my spirits up, planned tactics and strategy, helped write letters —indeed penned most of a couple all by himself — and created posters at Behance. I thought I knew about all the posters, but to my surprise, I discovered that he had in fact made double as many, for a planned online petition, the final trio thankfully never proving necessary.

Incidentally: Google hasn't stopped all its shenanigans. The very post which announced the return of this blog in mid-September has mysteriously vanished. (I am not sure whether challenging that would be a good idea, not wanting a repeat of last summer's headaches.)

May of this year Google, which owns and hosts Blogger — without notice or explanation — disappeared the ¡No Pasarán! blog. Immediately Owner/Publisher Erik Svane appealed, repeatedly. The appeals went nowhere so he began an awareness campaign to have the longstanding blog reinstated, to which I contributed. Below are posters hurried into production for a mid-October launch of an online petition​​​​​​​...

GOOGLE RELEASES ¡NO PASARÁN! BACK INTO THE INTERNET!

...just as mysteriously on September 17 Google — again, without notice or explanation — restored the Franco-Euro-American blog to its perch of 21+ years standing, thus the petition is now unnecessary and these posters unneeded.

Examining the Left's Concept of "Talking Points"

Have you ever examined the concept of talking points — a term usually used by the Left?  

To the left, talking points are traditionally something to be complained about. In the Leftist's mind, the term is used as a sort of false shorthand, simple-minded repetition, something close to unserious and hypocritical, a sort of trickster's sleight of hand — in one word, something to be debunked by the Left. 

This was one of the main "arguments" — obviously, actually a NON-argument — that Charlie Kirk had to fight against on college campuses; leftist students — proudly — declaring they wouldn't engage with the founder of TPUSA or ask him a question, accusing him basically of being a dishonest trickster using, yes, Republican or conservative "talking points".

(This brings up another question: when conservatives go to a leftist demonstration, why is there so often somebody looking semi-official who tells the participants not to engage with "the rightist troll" when he or she tries to interview them? If they want to win elections and influence people, shouldn't they, on the contrary, try to present their case, thereby attracting more followers? They might not win over the conservative himself — although: who knows? — or the majority of his followers, but couldn't it be possible for them — if they were to present their case in logical terms — to win over a not-insignificant proportion of said followers?)

However, the question arises: what is it about talking points that is allegedly wrong with them? Why need they be ridiculed or demonized? Talking points, for a conservative, are, to name a handful: basic rights, fewer taxes, strong defense, family unity, love of country, etc… Correct? Why should that change? Isn't using, isn't mentioning, isn't talking about, the same "points" being, y'know, sort of… consistent? 

Think about it: 

Isn't the logical conclusion that the use of the term "talking points", therefore, a Leftist tactic to avoid debate?

However, there is another question that deserves to be answered: have you noticed something? There are talking points that nobody ever seems to mention. And I mean never.

What are the talking points of the Left? Think about it: If any talking points are truly unserious, aren't they the Left's talking points? 

So what are they? Are you ready? 

The talking points of the left's drama queens is (drum roll)… that people on the right are (dramatic pause)… racists.

Isn't that the main one? Also, that they are hypocritical, that they are hate speech spewers, that they are trolls, and, yes, that they are dishonest tricksters — dishonest tricksters using… dishonest talking points (see paragraph above). 

And let's not forget Nazis and (little) fascists. Indeed: the Left's talking points have little to no content; they are nothing but ad homonyms and insults and demonizations. Is it any wonder that I assert that The Leftist Worldview in a Nutshell can be summarized as A World of Deserving Dreamers Vs. Despicable Deplorables?

Update: Speaking about leftists over at Instapundit, Sarah Hoyt points out that THEY ALWAYS ACCUSE US OF WHAT THEY’RE DOING.

Emmanuel Macron's France and the Country's System of "Incestuous Capitalism"

Because of his new book, Sébastien Laye was a natural subject for a 50 minute interview on TVLibertés (Chaîne officielle TVL, 0:00-48:38) regarding Emmanuel Macron and what the author calls France's "incestuous capitalism." 

His next interview is slated for Wednesday, not regarding Des moutons menés par des ânes ?, but the election in New York City.

​"Macron est un acteur de théâtre sans aucune connaissance économique, son système : un échec économico-social historique". Le constat de Sébastien Laye, économiste et entrepreneur franco-américain, est sans appel. Dans son ouvrage "Des moutons menés par des ânes ?" (Valeurs Ajoutées Éditions - https://boutiquetvl.fr/accueil/sebast..., il démonte le macronisme, symbole d’un système français à bout de souffle : bureaucratie hypertrophiée, capitalisme de connivence, désindustrialisation massive et perte de souveraineté. Et propose une voie de redressement : libérer l’esprit d’entreprise et restaurer la souveraineté économique. 💸 Les illusions du "quoi qu'il en coûte" 💰 Qu’est-ce que le “capitalisme de connivence” ? ⚔️Populisme et libéralisme sont-ils inconciliables ? UE : Quelle économie pour une Europe des nations ? FR : Comment reconstruire une économie libre, souveraine et prospère ? 👉 Une analyse sans concession de la dérive économique française, et un plan pour relever le pays. A la suite de "Politique & Eco", retrouvez la chronique financière de Philippe Béchade intitulée : "Des discussions budgétaires inquiétantes".
