The Real Tragedy of the Commons - Carlos Perona Calvete
Carlos Perona Calvete discusses the history of the commons in Europe. He explores the Christian origins of the commons, presents a metaphysics of this institution and considers the (real) tragedy of the commons; the historical enclosure of common land and resources by avaricious elites. He argues that restoring successfully self-managed commons must be part of any counter-revolutionary effort today. • Conservatism and the Commons https://europeanconservative.com/articles/essay/conservatism-and-the-commons/ • That Rapacious Whig: Against Edmund Burke’s Theory of Economics and Ownership https://europeanconservative.com/articles/essay/that-rapacious-whig-against-edmund-burkes-theory-of-economics-and-ownership/ Carlos Perona Calvete is a writer for The European Conservative.

Controlled Demolition - 3/3 'Ordo Ab Chao', with Michael ('Jonah of Ninevah')
In the final part of a three-part series on the 'Controlled Demolition' of the American Empire and the West, Michael ('Jonah of Ninevah') concludes his thesis by examining why the secret forces (as identified by Leo XIII & St Pius X) are intentionally breaking institutions down. He argues that they are following the key principle of alchemy and pursuing a 'spiritual transmutation', through a process of 'solve et coagula'.
"Welcome to the new, new world order, same as the old, except now they get to stop pretending."
Michael situates contemporary events in his interpretation of the timeline of the Book of the Apocalypse. Michael ends with an exhortation to follow Our Lady in total fidelity to Our Lord Jesus Christ, and for a return to 'radical Christianity'.

Controlled Demolition - 2/3 'The Problem of Consent', with Michael ('Jonah of Ninevah')
In the second of a three-part series on the 'Controlled Demolition' of the American Empire and the West, Michael ('Jonah of Ninevah') discusses how, for the devil and his army of fallen angels, it is not enough to simply corrupt society as a whole, but that they want us to consent to, and participate in, the grave evil spreading everywhere in our time. For this reason, the evil we see is being made increasingly obvious so that souls cannot feign ignorance, but must give their consent, and so follow the path of perdition. He argues that this corruption is orchestrated by powers controlling civil governments, and that God is allowing these escalating punishments so that we might repent and turn to Him.

He discusses the steady 'pressure cooker' of politics, the Republican v Democrat false dialectic, and the spiritually deleterious effects of the internet and mass media. He argues that events are more orchestrated than many would suspect, and that God is allowing these punishments so that we might repent and turn to Him.
