Peace through strength: Ronald Reagan’s voice still calls out to anyone willing to listen "There was a time, many, many fathers ago that heroes were real. It was a time when we believed in dragons, and our heroes would set off in battle to protect the townsfolk and slay the evil beasts. The stories we know never told us why the dragons had so much disdain for humanity, we only know they did." Jonathan Garrett -  The Day of the Heroes How much do we really know about some of our great historical heroes? Names like Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Milton Friedman, and many others. These are names that should invoke nostalgic sentiments from an era not that long ago. Instead, the stories and histories from these great people have been slowly buried under the dust heap of ideology. Facts have been changed, valuable lessons forgotten, and the teachers of our schools who should be reminding our children of these truths have pushed them to the

Is building a wall racist? From the author of The Day of the Heroes. A story about today's culture war in a time of dragons and heroes. Click Here to purchase from Amazon. For as long as mankind has existed, we have been building walls. Today we can see the proof of walls from medieval Europe scattered throughout the entire European continent. We also have the Great Wall of China, the ancient Sumerian wall, the Athenian walls, the Great Wall of Gorgan and so on. The idea of walls as racist Coinciding with the mass migratory movement into Europe in 2015, a new idea has developed. That idea is that walls are an expression of racism. This idea, of course, is pushed heavily by the Marxist globalists whose aim is to eliminate all borders and countries. Currently, Donald Trump is under heavy scrutiny by the political left for daring to consider building a wall between the United States and Mexico. With that in mind, my aim in this blog is to explore some of the ideas

Vlad III and the historical origins of Dracula From the author of  The Day of the Heroes.  A story about today's culture war in a time of dragons and heroes.  Click Here to purchase from Amazon. The story of Vlad III of Romania in the 15th century provides an insight into the ongoing conflict between Islam and Christianity in the medieval period. It is an interesting story, as it is from this man where our modern-day character of Dracula comes from. Vlad III was also known as Vlad the Impaler, a name which should give an indication of his favoured method of punishment and torture. It is also part of the reason for the creation of the myth of Dracula. Vlad’s father, Vlad II from the town of Transylvania in modern-day Romania, was knighted into the order of the dragons by the Hungarian King, Sigismund. This was part of an alliance against the Ottoman Empire who had been continuously attempting to push the boundaries of their territory, in order to impose their Islamic id

Descartes and the concept of free thought

Descartes and the concept of free thought "What if Rene the Learned’s words go beyond our ability to believe in our existence? What if he was also saying, that to exist, to really, truly exist as a human soul, we have to have the ability to think, and think freely? For without freedom of thought, we cannot exist in our full capacity as a human soul." Jonathan Garrett -  The Day of the Heroes The Enlightenment The Scientific Revolution started in the 16 th century and marked the start of modern day science. Through this revolution, people began to realise that the world and life had been created based on scientific principles. This, of course, helped to eliminate superstition from society and interestingly, marked the end of the European witch craze. It also started the period of the Enlightenment which began around the mid-17 th century. The Enlightenment is a period of time where individuals came away from the structured thought of the Catholic church and
