Clarity and focus
by Paul Cudenec At the end of 2022 I brought out a 100-page booklet entitled 'Enemies of the People: The Rothschilds and their corrupt global empire'. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about publishing it, as I knew that it would probably lead to me being labelled not just a "conspiracy theorist" but … Continue reading Clarity and focus

The false red flag: a despotic dead end
by Paul Cudenec We have seen how the Bolsheviks in Russia repressed the grassroots revolutionary movement and imposed a centralised authoritarian regime that declared war on small farmers and hitherto independent individuals, turning most of the population into powerless slaves to a giant industrial machine.

by Paul Cudenec An authentic mood of revolt had been swelling up in Russia for some time before 1917, with a previous attempted revolution in 1905-06 violently repressed by the tsarist regime. A great inspiration behind this mood was the back-to-the-land Christian anarchism of the revered Russian novelist and thinker Leo Tolstoy, [11] author of … Continue reading The false red flag: lies and repression
The false red flag: pseudo-resistance
by Paul Cudenec I have always had a rather uneasy relationship with the "socialist" and "communist" left. On the one hand I have been deeply inspired by many thinkers and rebels loosely associated with this tradition, from John Ball of the peasants' revolt [1] and the legendary Robin Hood (robbing the rich to feed the … Continue reading The false red flag: pseudo-resistance
Our Quest for Freedom: Defending

The system does not want us to be free. Its very existence depends on the fact that we are dependent … Continue reading Our Quest for Freedom: Defending
