The app for independent voices
I enjoyed reading about Dr. Mike Yeadon’s stories of family, building little communities, and re-thinking what is important, all set against the background of Alan Watt’s thoughts and voice. Thank you for this, and for sharing the Real History conversation I had with Adam, “This is not a dress rehearsal.”
Your wife’s family’s connection to Coats Group (possibly the oldest multinational corporation) made me smile. My sewing boxes are full of J&P Coats threads, sorted by color and I can tell by looking at the spool if this is thread I purchased, or if I inherited it from my mother, or my aunt Betty, who may have inherited it from her mother, my Mema.
I’ll include a link here to a section of CTTM book club coverage of Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope. When we were dividing up sections, I made sure to take this one for myself! Years ago, when I first read this giant book, I was most struck by what Quigley wrote about American middle class values. I think his observations and examples also apply to Commonwealth countries. It was no accident that we all grew up aggressively pursuing the carrot, allowing ourselves to be separated from families and communities under the guise of ‘doing better.’

Some of us recognized in Operation Covid, that we had an opportunity to return to timeless human values, that many of us were not raised with. We’ve been given a chance to see that it is our humanity, and love of it, that offers a way out of madness-by-design. Thanks again, Dr. Yeadon!
