by Paul Cudenec (who reads the article here) "I don't think I'll come here again", said my friend as we finished a once-favourite walk on a ridge high about the Cévennes here in France. "This was always a magical place for me, but now that they've put that phone mast there…" I agreed and later … Continue reading A world defiled
by Paul Cudenec It is today not considered possible by our culture for a sane and serious person to be entirely opposed to the modern world, to its infrastructure and to its thinking. So many intellectual and cultural taboos have been built to block such a perspective from being voiced and shared, that it has … Continue reading Life philosophy: against the destructive will of Mammon
by Paul Cudenec As humankind shuffles ever closer to the jaws of the global death-machine, all the magic seems to have gone out of our lives and our thinking. Reduced to mere units of "human capital" by the usurious slave-masters, hypnotised into dull passivity by their weapons of mass distraction, too many people appear to … Continue reading Life philosophy: soul, rhythm, magic and love
by Paul Cudenec The global industrial-financial complex has been doing its best for decades now to ensure there is no real ideological opposition to its life-hating agenda.

I know that to many it seems like an utterly outlandish proposition. "What, no electricity? We'd all just … Continue reading Seven reasons why I am an anti-industrialist
by Paul Cudenec A lot of interesting comment and debate has been sparked by my recent essay 'When will the real opposition emerge?', both here and on over on Substack. So, before going any further, I would like to clarify one particular issue concerning cause and effect. Yes, of course I am well aware that … Continue reading Seizing a free future!
by Paul Cudenec It doesn't surprise me in the least that Jordan Peterson and his ARC organisation are nothing more than controlled opposition, as has now been decisively demonstrated by two articles by Michael Ginsberg and Ursula Edgington and a video from Sonia Poulton. These fake rebels have not even separated themselves from the politicians … Continue reading When will the real opposition emerge?
by Paul Cudenec The events which have been unfolding since 2020 have obliged me, more than ever, to take an overview of the place at which humankind finds itself today.
