Mises obliterated the entire socialist project in 1920 with one devastating insight: "Where there is no free market, there is no pricing mechanism; without a pricing mechanism, there is no economic calculation." The socialists spent the next century pretending this problem didn't exist while their economies collapsed around them. And yet here we are, watching politicians promise they can "fix" healthcare, housing, and energy markets through central planning. They can't even calculate the cost of their own programs correctly — how exactly are they going to allocate resources across an entire economy? Every Venezuelan breadline, every Soviet grain shortage, every Chinese famine was just Mises being proven right in the most brutal way possible. But sure, let's try democratic socialism this time. What could go wrong?

The Polish Minister of the Interior has been saying last night that the attacker was "fascinated by far-right ideologies". And nationalism of course. What a lie! It is of course the exact opposite. This is the sort of liars we are being governed by…

George Soros and the Open Society Foundations – The Capillary System. Everyone says Soros this, Soros that. But how do they actually operate? Most of the organizations we have described operate at the elite level – the meeting in Davos, the seminar and the committee in Brussels. The Open Society Foundations are different. They operate at every level simultaneously – from the supranational to the local, from the think tank to the street activist, from the Supreme Court brief to the district attorney election. The most complete political funding infrastructure ever built by a private individual. Follow the money – most of it is hiding in plain sight. Soros made his fortune speculating on national currencies – most famously breaking the British Pound in 1992. He used the proceeds to fund institutions that argue against national sovereignties, helping him make such operations. This is not irony. It is a business model. An arbitrage. 1. The mechanism is simple and almost elegant. You create a nicely named organization – an institute for open society, a foundation for democratic media, a center for justice reform. You seed it with ten million dollars of private money, enough to hire staff, produce reports, and establish credibility. Then, through the network of associates and ideologically aligned officials that decades of funding have placed inside governments and supranational bodies, you ensure that this private organization receives hundreds of millions in public funding – EU grants, USAID contracts, government subsidies. The private money creates the platform. The public hundreds of millions buy the reach. The taxpayer funds the project. The project serves the agenda. A nice arbitrage again. 2. Let’s imagine in every country a main foundation operating as a buzzing corporate office — a headquarters — populated with people who know the agenda best and understand how it connects to the global program. Everyone comes there for instructions. Every smaller organization in the country — the migration NGO, the media fund, the arts prize committee — knows where to come for orientation, for funding, for the framing of the next campaign. It looks like a civil society hub. The people inside it may believe they are doing good. The architecture ensures that doing good means advancing the agenda. 3. The network controls the full loop. The think tank produces the paper. The advocacy group runs the campaign. The legal organization takes it to court. The media organization covers it favorably. The fact-checker delegitimizes the opposition. Each may look independent; the funding architecture connects them. The public annual reports list the grants and recipients. The architecture is not hidden. It is simply too layered for most people to read clearly. 4. The cultural layer is the most insidious. The network funds literary prizes that go to authors advancing the agenda. They fund film festivals, journalism awards, university chairs. None of this requires explicit editorial control. You don’t tell the prize committee who to select. You fund the prize committee. Over time the selection reflects the values of the funder. 5. In America, Soros-backed political groups have funded progressive prosecutors and district-attorney campaigns. The money is visible in campaign-finance records; the resulting policies are visible in the cities where they were implemented. 6. In Europe, the same architecture appears around migration: advocacy organizations, legal challenges, NGOs, political lobbying, and media narratives. The different pieces reinforce one another. One source. Every layer. Taxpayer money amplifying private money at every stage. 7. That is the capillary system: an ideological project reaching from elite institutions down into everyday life. The activist, journalist, lawyer, academic, official, and politician do not need to know one another or consciously share a master plan. Networks, institutions, and funding create the coordination.

What unites the Left and Islam as civilizations opposed to the West. On the surface, almost nothing. One is atheist, the other theocratic. One preaches the liberation of the senses, the other their discipline. And yet they march together through Western capitals – the French even have a word for the alliance: islamo-gauchisme. The obvious answer is that both define themselves against the West, and both have conquest in their history and in their doctrine: world revolution for one, the expansion of Islam for the other. Using conquest and the Lie – through all available means. But beyond the envy, there is something deeper: the relation to reality. The West rests on two convictions: the world is knowable, and the individual can act upon it. That the world was made by reason, and reason can read it. That is why science was born here. Islam answered otherwise. One of its most influential theologians, al-Ghazali, taught that fire does not burn cotton: God burns it, directly, every time. If the world has no laws of its own, there is nothing for reason to discover – only a will to obey. The Left arrived at the same place by another road. Marx put it plainly, teaching that it is not man's consciousness that determines his being, but his social being that determines his consciousness. You are your class – today, your race and your sex. History decides, the Party interprets, and two plus two is whatever the Party says. If History decides, there is no truth to discover – only a line to follow. In both, the individual is not a cause. Things happen to him – by the will of God, or by the laws of History. And both ask the same thing of him: submission. Two Civilizations of Submission. To God or to the State. The West made man a cause. Sophocles sang that of all the wonders, none is more wonderful than man. The Bible made him in the image of God and gave him the task of naming the creatures. The Renaissance called him the free shaper of himself, and Michelangelo painted the finger of God and the finger of Adam almost touching. That is what the West is: the Civilization of the celebration of the Greatness, the Grandeur, the Magnificence of the individual human being, with his ability to act, know and shape the World around him. Envy wants what we have. Submission cannot forgive what we are. — Poland stopped both at the gates of Europe – the Ottomans at Vienna in 1683, the Bolsheviks at Warsaw in 1920. Both times, the outcome seemed already decided, and free men chose to act. After Vienna, Sobieski wrote to the Pope: "We came, we saw, God conquered." Not submission – cooperation and Human Action. The finger of God and the finger of man, almost touching.

The Coordinated Camp of the Lie Six people were murdered in Kraków on Saturday. The killer's own mother, father and sister were found dead at home. Poland is in mourning. 🕯️ That same evening – while the police were still saying the motive was unknown and his house was still being searched – the Minister of the Interior announced that the attacker was "fascinated by far-right ideologies." Ultranationalist, of course. He added that this would be verified. No evidence has been shown. The mayor of Kraków, who is not a man of the right, called it the act of a madman. Reports from classmates, and photos attributed to him online, point somewhere else entirely. But within hours, "far-right" was in headlines across Europe. The minister's own caveat – "this will be verified" – mostly stayed behind in Kraków. Four days before the Independence March, the story fit perfectly. That is how the camp of the Lie works. It needs no central office. It needs a shared story, and people who know which facts to wait for and which to run with. A civilized state follows a simple rule: evidence first, verdict last – or not at all. This government reversed it, before the six victims were even buried. The coordinated camp of the Lie. 
We are being governed by them. 
And that needs to stop.

There is hope. Generation Alpha will be just fine. After the craziness of the Millennials and Gen Z, Generation Alpha are the ones who see the results. They will be the strong men and women from the meme, created by the hard times created by the weak men of the 2 generations before them. They have seen the whole woke paranoia up close, at school and on their screens. They had to endure the effects of Covid as children: closed schools, masks, a childhood on Zoom. They paid for adult panic with their own early years, and children who pay for a lie remember who sold it. They take none of the bullshit. Every generation rebels against the one before. Their parents rebelled against order. Gen Alpha will rebel against chaos.
