by Paul Cudenec, who reads the article here Last summer I wrote about the origins of the Royal Society in London and in particular about its precursor organisation The Invisible College, also known as the Hartlib Circle after Polish-born Samuel Hartlib (1600-1662). [1] I drew on the work of Professor Yosef Kaplan of the Hebrew … Continue reading Science, revolution and the globalist agenda
by Paul Cudenec, who reads the article here Three political threads, in three different countries, were occupying my mind over the weekend. The first of these was the remarkable uprising in Ireland (pictured), which I have been following on X. This very much reminds me of the Gilets Jaunes revolt that broke out here in … Continue reading Confronting our common enemy
by Paul Cudenec, who reads the article here It is not normally a risky cloak-and-dagger endeavour to head out with some friends on a Saturday night to see a show by a well-known 60-year comedian. But, here in France, this is indeed the case if the comedian in question is M'bala M'bala Dieudonné (pictured), who … Continue reading When comedy is branded crime
by Paul Cudenec (who reads the article here) The French state is apparently very keen to ensure accurate memories of traumatic historical events - since 1990 "the denial of the existence of crimes against humanity", such as the mass extermination of Jews during the Second World War, has been a criminal offence. [1] But, for … Continue reading Collaboration & Denial

by Paul Cudenec (who reads the article here) It's always an inconvenience for an occupying colonial force when "the natives are getting restless". They tut-tut with irritation as the less-than-human riff-raff come together to demand an end to their exploitation and debasement under the imperial jackboot. The colonisers order their Imperial Propaganda Machine to smear … Continue reading The natives are getting restless

by Paul Cudenec The southern French coast near Montpellier Airport is rather congested. Holiday resorts have sprung up to profit from those heading to the lovely sandy beaches - as have, of course, the roads required to take them there. Just to the east of La Grande-Motte - a product of the proudly modernising 1960s - the … Continue reading In search of the source: a personal journey against the flow
by Paul Cudenec It may seem odd, at first sight, that someone who recently warned against taking political "personalities" too seriously is now reviewing a book about the lives of the French presidential couple. Thanks to the publicity given by Candace Owens, I probably don't have to explain that, in Devenir Brigitte (Becoming Brigitte in … Continue reading A grotesque spectacle of lies and abuse
In the latest part of his retrospective essay on ten years of The Acorn, editor Paul Cudenec looks back on its content in 2019. The online document covering the entire decade can be found here. A massive people's uprising in France made the headlines in The Acorn throughout 2019. We explained: "The Gilets Jaunes, or Yellow Vests, movement in … Continue reading A decade of dissent: the violence of the system
