•
Washington's Paymasters: Whatever other blah-blah buzzwords garner the most money from paymasters in Washington, DC4.
•
China and Democracy: The reason why the west promotes democracy to China is because democracy, in practice, has the opposite effect of what the theory suggests5. It destabilizes and weakens societies rather than strengthening them5.
•
Modernization: In fact, the western neoliberal cocktail of economic capitalism plus electoral democracy hasn’t worked out for most non-western countries6.
•
One Party System: A determined interest group, well financed and well connected, can hijack the national agenda and push policies detrimental to the broader public7. The Jewish influence in the US is a good example where true US national interests are sacrificed for the benefit of Israel and the Zionists7.

Key Points:If the Constitution cannot protect its citizenry from the destructive vice of Pornography, "our system of government and indeed the Constitution itself are irredeemable."
Criticizes the "contemporary community standards" component of the Miller test, arguing it leads to a "race to the bottom."
Pornography is described as a "sexual aid" a product that is comparable to prostitution.
Suggests that the explosion of pornography consumption "has been associated with autogynephilia" and is an antecedent to the transgender menace.
Censorship as a tactic or means to achieve greater ends is remarkably effective if implemented wisely.
"Radical Reconstruction and State Omnipotence - LewRockwell.pdf"
Main Idea: This source critiques the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, arguing that it led to an overreach of federal power and the erosion of individual liberties.

The Miller Test includes the following: (a) whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest; (b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law; and (c) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
"Contemporary community standards" in the Miller test refers to the prevailing moral and social norms of a particular locality, which are used to determine whether material appeals to prurient interests or is patently offensive. The author finds this problematic because it can lead to a "race to the bottom," where censorship efforts are undermined by the most depraved and profligate communities.
