The best Western Society propaganda is having kids that becomes role models in your community.

The anti human "we're too populated for the earth" has been around forever https://twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/man-who-saved-billion-lives >>University of Minnesota alumnus Norman Borlaug left an indelible mark on the world. The late agronomist’s work in developing new varieties of wheat starting in the 1940s spawned the “Green Revolution,” and is credited with saving at least a billion lives. For his unparalleled contributions in using science to feed the world, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977), the Public Welfare Medal (2002) by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Medal of Science (2005), and the Congressional Gold Medal (2007). In 2014 a statue of him was placed in the National Statuary Hall of the United States Congress; he is the sole scientist represented there. Borlaug also received more than 50 honorary degrees, was inducted into the collegiate National Wrestling Hall of Fame, and helped introduce Little League baseball in Mexico. And just last month, at the “9 Billion and Counting” conference on campus, he was lauded as being “the single greatest graduate of a land-grant institution.” Beyond all the accolades, Borlaug was a plant pathologist/breeder, a teacher of scientists, a scientific collaborator, and a team builder. His unique teaching and training methods for young scientists became part of the template for a series of global crop improvement centers that undergird the world’s food supply to this day. Read more about this legend in agriculture, including his research that led to the Green Revolution and his many honors and awards. |

Most of you are probably familiar with Rick Rescorla but do you know the story of Dan Hill? He became friends with Rescorla while both were fighting commies in Rhodesia and then persuaded him to fight commies in Vietnam. After retiring from the US Army, he converted to Islam, fought the Soviets in Afghanistan and then used his knowledge of Arabic to gather intel on radical mosques in the US, which influenced Rescorla's concerns about the WTC.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty:
...During the early stages of this attack, Sgt. Baker was seriously wounded, but he insisted on remaining in the line and fired at the enemy at ranges sometimes as close as five yards until his ammunition ran out. Without ammunition and with his own weapon battered to uselessness from hand-to-hand combat, he was carried about 50 yards to the rear by a comrade, who was then himself wounded. At this point Sgt. Baker refused to be moved any farther, stating that he preferred to be left to die rather than risk the lives of any more of his friends. A short time later, at his request, he was placed in a sitting position against a small tree. Another comrade, withdrawing, offered assistance. Sgt. Baker refused, insisting that he be left alone and given a soldier's pistol with its remaining eight rounds of ammunition. When last seen alive, Sgt. Baker was propped against a tree, pistol in hand, calmly facing the foe. Later Sgt. Baker's body was found in the same position, gun empty, with eight Japanese lying dead before him. |

By the rude bridge that standed the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Here once the battled farmers stood, And fired shot heard round the world The foe long since in silence slept; Alike the conqueror silent sleeps; And Time the ruined bridge swept; Down the dark stream which seaward creeps. On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set today a votive stone; That memory may their deed redeem, When, like our sires, our sons are gone. Spirit, that made those heroes dare, To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee. |

https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/peter-ortiz-oss-operative-undercover-hero/
 At the Parris Island, South Carolina, training depot, Ortiz found himself to be an unusual recruit. He wore French decorations for valor and observed that the training was not as tough as what he had experienced in the Foreign Legion. After later receiving more parachute training and gaining a commission as a reserve second lieutenant… Five months before the planned Operation Overlord, a three-man Allied squad was chosen for a special mission code-named Operation Union. Its members were Ortiz, H.H.A. Thackwaite, a prominent British undercover warrior, and an experienced French radio operator named Monnier. Their objective was to analyze the strength of the Maquis and other resistance groups and determine how effectively they could harass the Germans during and after the Allied invasion. Wearing civilian clothes, the three men parachuted from a Royal Air Force bomber into the Vercors region on the moonless night of January 6, 1944. After linking up with the resistance fighters, they changed into uniforms to show that it was an official military operation. Finding the maquisards eager to fight but poorly armed and trained, the Allied trio evaluated the situation and sent regular radio reports to London. Ortiz demonstrated his fearlessness during the operation. Wearing civilian clothes and a cape, he made a habit of strolling into German-occupied towns and listening to local gossip. One night, he found himself sitting in a café near some German soldiers who were grousing about the troublesome maquisards and their hated American allies. It was too much for Ortiz. He sprang to his feet, threw open his cape, and brandished two .45-caliber automatic pistols. He ordered the startled Germans to drink a toast to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the U.S. Marine Corps and then slipped outside into the darkness... He was awarded TWO Navy Crosses, for his actions in Europe -prior to D-Day |

https://thedebrief.org/nasa-veterans-propellantless-propulsion-drive-that-physics-says-shouldnt-work-just-produced-enough-thrust-to-defeat-earths-gravity/
Dr. Charles Buhler, a NASA engineer and the co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, has revealed that his company’s propellantless propulsion drive, which appears to defy the known laws of physics, has produced enough thrust to counteract Earth’s gravity. “There are rules that include conservation of energy, but if done correctly, one can generate forces unlike anything humankind has done before,” Buhler added. “It will be this force that we will use to propel objects for the next 1,000 years… until the next thing comes.” “Nature has its own way of doing things,” Buhler explained, “and it is our job to uncover what nature does. It just happened to fall into my lap in what I’m the expert in.” |

Allow me to tell you gentlemen about Colonel John Banister.
He came from a religious family, his father was a huge naturalist. Which back then meant trying to understand how nature works. He was a lawyer, and he was a member of the House of Burgesses as well as a member of the Continental Congress. He was instrumental in the drafting of the Articles of Confederation, along with George Mason. He was part of the Virginia Convention which declared Virginia sovereign before the Continental Congress did. He chose to command militia of Virginia rather than take a post in the Continental army, and was highly regarded by Washington. He fought like hell against the British and lost most of what he owned to the war. Yet no one knows him. His property was named Battersea. No one will remember him. But he did the right thing. Robert E Lee is easy to praise or to shit on, depending on your intelligence level, but we don't talk about men like him. Why? History is written by both winners and acts of glory. It is not written about good men doing good things without recognition. Yet society thrives when good men do good things, and are not rewarded for it with praise. This guy: - valued the cause of American independence - recognized the value of Virginian sovereignty before the convention did - drafted a better law of the land. (Articles of Confederation > Constituion: fight me) - Wanted to serve good neighbors rather than a national cause Guys like Mason and Banister are not written into history on purpose. Because they exemplify what could have been if we were ruled by good men with honest ideas. And furthermore, they didn't care they didn't make history, because they only wanted to make where they lived better. |

Yet everyone knows Common Sense was instrumental in persuasion for the War for American Independence. As western men, we should seek to be the unknowns. The men which helped change the world for the better but don't give a fuck if there's money or fame in it. Honest men, who only wish to debate their ideas in the open, stand behind them, and lose everything they've built for themselves if it goes sideways. |
