Stratagems of the Right

On September 11, 2022, Bart Sibrel released a death-bed video by Eugene "Gillmore," whose real name was Eugene Ruben Akers, the son of Cyrus Eugene Akers, explaining how his father made a death-bed confession about Apollo 11 being filmed at Cannon Air-Force Base, by Clovis New Mexico, on June 1-3, 1968 [*1]. Eugene died on February 13, 2022. He did not want the video released until after his death. I transcribed the audio of Eugene Ruben Akers below. A link to the video recording is hyperlinked above ( and here ). Bart Sibrel notes the video was recorded on April 12, 2020 and taken by Eugene's son. Hello. My name is Gene Gillmore. Um, my birth-given name is Eugene Ruben Akers. I don't want any money for what I'm doing, because hopefully this video won't come out until after my death [note by Eugene's son: Died February 13, 2022]. So, I have nothing to gain, nothing to profit, by telling you what I'm going to tell you. And, um, a lot of what I'm go

See anything unusual below? I pulled the above table from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) for data through June 3, 2022 ("ALL LOCATIONS"), which is  available on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website  [*1] and tracks vaccine-related injuries and deaths in the United States since 1990. VAERS is a voluntary self-reporting tool that is used by health-care workers but can also be used by individuals. If an unexplained injury or death occurs, like from blood-clotting, temporally connected to a recent vaccine administered, a report can be made. This doesn't mean the injury or death was definitively caused by the vaccine. But how many incidents are  not  reported to VAERS? A  2010 report on the VAERS system, submitted to a federal agency, stated  [*2]: [F]ewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. … Barriers to reporting include a lack of clinician awareness, uncertainty about when and what to report, as well as the burden of r

Before some audiences not even the possession of the exactest knowledge will make it easy for what we say to produce conviction. For argument based on knowledge implies instruction, and there are people whom one cannot instruct. - Aristotle, Rhetoric , Book I Part I [*1] Much of human experience is unfurled by those two sentences of Aristotle. Some choose what to believe and/or how to act based on information, but a surprising number are incapable. And how we communicate with those incapable matters acutely to the health of civilizations. Beliefs of children derive from social consensus of family and other authorities. Going against consensus often cuts children off from resources only their authorities can provide. Access to resources socializes children to deference to their authorities, as values and orders are instilled. The job of children is not so much to think, but to comply with orders and memorize answers, face punishment for non-compliance and unapproved answers, and receiv

What is the ultimate goal of materialists who lust for power and comment that they're "living their best lives?" An old quote from the 2013 season of House of Cards by the character Frank Underwood gives us some insight [*1]: Such a waste of talent. He chose money over power, in this town a mistake nearly everyone makes. Money is the McMansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after ten years. Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who does not see the difference. Money buys all our material needs and desires. Once we have a certain amount of wealth, and material needs are met, the pleasures we buy have diminishing marginal value of return, as the second dessert we consume rarely gives us the same satisfaction of the first. Even the poorest among us, using assistance from the government, can have a one-bedroom apartment, a warm bed, sugary foods by the push of a button, and a 60-inch flat-screen TV or computer with access
