Frank Wright enters the world stage

 

From: Husqvarna

 It may seem off topic to local politics, but Brit Frank Wright speaks truth so eloquently and brilliantly that one can see the connection between global and local politics. The replacement of western culture with a liberal democracy that we in the west have fallen for these last many decades has devastated the institutions we counted on to keep a stable, prosperous, and cohesive community.

The Tower of Babel that globalists have been building for a hundred years now is beginning to totter. It always comes down to economics. Once you beggar the middle class and destroy the working class, the whole thing will crumble. It is crumbling now. Here is Wright in a short video spot, which Elon Musk sent viral:

Wright ably describes how the System of Liberal Democracy became an end unto itself, requiring the willing suspension of our disbelief in order to continue on. It requires our obeisance to ever-increasing insanity (transgender books pushed on toddlers, and if you object you are a BIGOT and book banner). As Wright says, there is no bottom to it.

He is correct. Who could have foreseen two decades ago that children would be the special victims of a progressive ideology pushing explicit sex, transgender ideology, and heavy witchcraft and occult themes? The ALA and major publishers are in on it. The authors are in on it. Indoctrinated library staff are in on it. Local activists are in on it. But the axe has been laid to the root of the rotten tree.

He explodes the myth of Left and Right, Liberal and Conservative. The end of the New World Order is in sight. Here are two interviews with Wright. The first is a good introduction of Wright on Tucker Carlson's show. The second, while he is speaking mainly British politics, pertains to any country that is suffering the last stages of political babble before the structure implodes.

Get that home library started!

 

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use… pic.twitter.com/uU0M5gAaGu

I wonder how libraries could help...

 

JUST IN - Rapid declines in childhood literacy rates across the U.S. are prompting Nationwide Children’s Hospital to begin screening for literacy skills. Nationally, just over 30% of fourth graders are considered proficient in reading, meaning about 70% are incompetent — AP pic.twitter.com/f7cqdFcVJQ

Books are a library's mission

From: Ancient Mother

Would a public library ever have the imagination to do something like this for the children, instead of shelving hundreds of age-inappropriate books from ideologically-driven publishers who use schools and libraries to funnel their politics? 

Would they have the courage to refocus on the historical mission of a library, which is to provide quality books to the community? So many public libraries nowadays have become "community centers" that focus on a plethora of craft activities and non-literary resources to try and remain relevant.

When our nation was a bit younger, the importance of literacy and books was illustrated by the Book Boat Women.

The Book Boat Women of the Mississippi 1904
In 1904, when river towns along the Mississippi had little access to schools or libraries, a small group of women brought knowledge to the water. They were known as the Book Boat Women educators, widows, and dreamers who turned old… pic.twitter.com/UFyR80TSEH

 What if a public library had the courage to fill their shelves with quality literature  that uplifts and encourages the good and the beautiful? What if they had ongoing book clubs for children and adults instead of endless craft events? What if they actually promoted literacy? What if they became a resource for after-school tutoring in reading?

Books, the kind you can hold in your hand, the kind that have a certain fragrance that wafts up from the pages is not something that goes out of style or becomes obsolete. Physical books have been de-emphasized in favor of the digital. And humans are poorer for it. Their ability to concentrate has been markedly affected. Reading scores are in the dirt at many school districts. It's a big problem, and libraries can be a solution instead of part of the problem. A mom discusses it here. Her solution? A home library. She says, "I’m shocked by some of the books that my kids pick up. Books that go deeply against our family values. I want my children surrounded by books that lift their minds and challenge them to become better human beings - the most prominently displayed books at our library aren’t going to get them there." 

While most of the article is behind a paywall, she gives some excellent insight into the problems in our public libraries.

If our libraries make actual books a priority, there is great good that can be accomplished for the community. As it is, the return on investment for the taxpayer is diminishing by the year.

The town of Hay-on-Wye in Wales is completely dedicated to books and has 26 bookshops but only 2000 residents. That’s one bookshop per 77 people.

Bringing back the private library

 As our dystopian culture moves more and more to streaming options, ebooks and digital information, physical community libraries will lessen their collections to accommodate technology. It's time to bring back private libraries.

ΨΥΧΗΣ ΙΑΤΡΕΙΟΝ

 

The Abbey library of St Gall is one of the oldest monastic libraries in the world

Above the entrance door is a Greek inscription, ΨΥΧΗΣ ΙΑΤΡΕΙΟΝ (psukhēs iatreion), which translates to “healing place for the soul.” This wording is inspired by an inscription found at the Library… pic.twitter.com/m5mqxbBhd5
