Da Woik Ettick
by L. Neil Smith
*BLAST FROM THE PAST* I listened this morning to American employers complaining bitterly about how “da woik ettick ”, in the lilting Brooklynese of one building contractor, is dead and gone. When he ran a one-man business, he explained, customers complimented him on the quality of his work. He never had any “call-backs” to straighten out some mess he’d made. Now the number of those “ call-backs” has skyrocketed because he just can’t find help that’s competent, or gives a damn about the job.

Don’t Jump Off That Ledge
by Sarah A. Hoyt
I come from a small and very strange country. No, seriously.It is a point of pride that the national poet for the ages — Luís de Camões for those who haven’t made an hobby of Portuguese history, and really, why would you—died as the Spaniards were taking over the throne of Portugal (during one of those bizarre disputes you can only understand if you view the royal families of Europe as a small and incredibly inbred tribe of people, swept off the streets of London in the seventeenth century, dropped into a holler in the Appalachia mountains, and they’ve never left since. Everyone marries their cousins, and everyone fights mightily over a limited number of chairs…. er …thrones.) Anyway, as the Spaniards took over and officially Portugal stopped existing, Camões is said to have declared, “The homeland dies, and I die with it.”

Free Cities Now
by Jim Davidson
You may have the story of the Declaration of Independence from history books, historical fiction, or even a Broadway play. But you probably don’t have the context of the American revolution at its inception in 1773.  Indeed, you may be blissfully unaware of such matters as the Hanseatic League and the long tradition of decentralisation to contest the hegemony of European aristocrats.  Nor are you likely to learn very much about such things from the new age communist indoctrination centres that bear the laughable name “public schools.” If the woke communists were able to have their way, you would not be able to find any trace of these matters on the internet nor in any libraries. That’s because the American revolution was a height of a long struggle against dark hierarchies of power.
