Fighting the soft side of The Culture War around the world. A German. A guy from Australia. In Indonesia. (A Personal Post.)

I met German Philipp Zey a few years ago at Dieng Temple in Central Java in Indonesia. Philipp loved the gentleness and hospitality of the Indonesian people. As I do.

Philipp was riding a bicycle around the world carrying a golf club and a trombone. He palyed me a bit of Frank Sinatra's My Way at the temple. (Dieng was the site of an historic private meeting in 1975 in which Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam is said to have privately endorsed Indonesian President Soeharto’s plan to take a strong stand against the spread of communism to East Timor.)

Later on, when both of us were back in the countries of our birth, I told him how much I admired Pat Buchanan’s landmark Culture Wars speech at the Republican national convention in Houston in 1992. When I had called Philipp a Cultural Warrior he embraced the title with relish and is now writing a book about how his journey gave him insights into what’s right and wrong in The West.

The Culture War is real. RFK Jr spoke out against modern attacks on freedom to a huge crowd in Berlin last year. An unexpected ally? Such people are everywhere because those who think about reality know that freedom works.

That’s why freedom can win.

Yeah just got hired as a full professor of Games Production at a major UK university.

Just waiting for this COVID nonsense to die down to start.

It’s pathetic that Americans are forced to work overseas as American companies prefer Indian and Communist Chinese H1B scumbags.
