The Case for Colonialism By Bruce Gilley

THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM

By Bruce Gilley

"For the last hundred years, Western colonialism has had a bad name." So began Professor Bruce Gilley's watershed academic article "The Case for Colonialism" of 2017 resulting in his new book, THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM. The article sparked a global furor. Critics and defenders of Gilley's argument battled it out in the court of public opinion. The Times of London described Gilley as "probably the academic most likely to be no-platformed in Britain." The New York Times called him one of the "panicky white bros" who "proclaim ever more rowdily that the (white) West was, and is, best" and are "busy recyclers of Western supremacism."

We hear a lot about anti-colonialism these days. It is presented as an unmitigated evil perpetrated by misguided Brits and Europeans against the poor, suffering darker-skinned folk who were exploited - full stop. But what if the story is a very different one? What if colonialism was actually a net positive for the people under colonial rule? What if those countries who threw off all the colonial structures in revolution did measurably worse than those who kept their colonial structures, such as the British legal system and the benefits of trade within the Commonwealth? What if the evidence suggests that people moved into areas of colonial rule to gain those benefits, rather than flee the supposed 'oppression?' What if education was improved, life spans lengthened and prosperity in general increased?

Professor Gilley presents evidence showing not only was colonialism a net positive for the people involved, but that the whole anti-colonialism framework used in our universities is based on very poor historical research, to say the least. Gilley even suggests that much of the suffering in the Third World was actually precipitated by a too-rapid withdrawal of colonialism, and the answer for much of the suffering in the world today would be to bring back the colonial ideal as a civilizing mission.

In THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM, you'll learn that:

·    Colonialism is disparaged today as a way to attack Western civilization;

·    The evidence is clear that colonized countries did better than non-colonized ones and that countries that maintained their colonial infrastructure after independence did better than those which did not;

·    Continued chaos and economic collapse across Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia and Latin America show the desperate need for Western governments to encourage new interventions that look like colonialism; and

·    Modern words like "decolonize" are simply code for undermining the basis of democratic, rule of law-based systems and replacing them with premodern systems of group-based entitlement.

Professor Gilley is a lone voice insisting on historical facts and calm reason rather than emotionalism to make his argument. For that he has been the target of a firestorm of abuse. What he has to say is interesting, challenging and sure to upset the woke cry-bullies. In THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM, Gilley responds to the critics and elaborates on the case for colonialism. The critics have no evidence for their claims, he asserts. It is robust no matter which colonizer or colonized area one examines. Patient, empirical, humorous, and not a little exasperated by anti-colonial ideologues, Gilley here sets a challenge for the next generation of scholars of colonialism.

"Bruce Gilley's THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM is, I believe, one of the most important works of history of the last fifty years. In an age of Western self-flagellation, and the loss of civilizational self-confidence, when every ill in the Third World is blamed on Western colonialism, Gilley's courageous work is a welcome corrective."

--Ibn Warraq, Author of Why the West is Best and The Islam in Islamic Terrorism 

"Both those who oppose colonialism and approve of colonialism will learn something from reading THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM, which is a long overdue response from this author to being attacked by a cancel culture mob when he contradicted their ideologies of 'anticolonialism' and 'decolonization.' Here, Gilley replies to his critics plus delivers evidence and arguments for four propositions. That European colonialism had legitimacy. That colonialism delivered real benefits."

--Eric Louw, Author of The Roots of the Pax Americana: Decolonization and white-Africans and The Rise, Fall and Legacy of Apartheid

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bruce Gilley is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at Portland State University. His work centers on global politics, democracy, comparative development, and colonial history. He is also active in defending academic freedom and political diversity in higher education.

The Destructive Plans of the Woke Left

 By David Horowitz

New York Times Bestselling Author of

FINAL BATTLE: The Next Election Could Be the Last

 DARK AGENDA: War to Destroy Christian America

 

 AMERICA IS HEADING TOWARD THE ABYSS

"This book is critical to understanding the left and how we defeat them." --Charlie Kirk 

"A harrowing journey through the corridors of the twenty-first century totalitarianism that goes by the name of progressivism. Must reading!" --Dinesh D’Souza

"Incisive, and timely warning to America to wake up before it’s too late." --Victor Davis Hanson 

"A brilliant take down of the Democrat party." --Larry Elder

David Horowitz, legendary author and activist, has released his greatest and most profound message to the world in his new book, THE RADICAL MIND: The Destructive Plans of the Woke Left. It is both a stark warning and call to arms to protect the country from decline, ruin, and disgrace. It identi­fies the crisis facing the nation as a crisis of faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in individual freedom and accountability, faith in the principle of equality before the law. At stake? Nothing less than the American way of life and the liberty and freedoms all Americans enjoy.

In his latest broadside against the radical left, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz pulls back the curtain of secrecy and lies and exposes the dangerous methods and agendas of a woke left mob, and identi­fies what a decent society needs to do to keep the country from slipping away, including:

·    Defending families against the intrusion of outside forces, ideological and governmental, which seek to capture the hearts and minds of children to serve their destructive agendas;

·    Stopping radicals from debasing Judeo-Christian values and silencing Christian communities and voices in favor of political state control;

·    Rejecting progressive blindness, including false racist narratives that America is a racist country;

·    Challenging the existential threat to American democracy from a Democratic Party that has made dialogue, compromise, and bipartisanship impossible and uses a corrupt and compliant media to unleash a constant tsunami of hate toward conservatives and ordinary Americans alike; and

·    Renewing faith in the Constitution and in individual freedom.

In THE RADICAL MIND, you'll learn about:

·    American radicals who are supporting the Islamic Nazis' attempt to finish the job that Hitler started;

·    How the left's slander of America as a white supremacist state is an existential threat;

·    How dire the current threat is to America's survival; and

·    How prominent conservatives have praised THE RADICAL MIND for exposing the totalitarian nature of the left.

Read THE RADICAL MIND and join the fight against the destructive plans of the woke left. David says, "The hour is late, and the forces of darkness are upon us. To save our freedoms, Americans must renew their faith in their country, relearn its history, reacquaint themselves with the wisdom of the founders, and reject the siren songs of the envious, the resentful, and the haters of human diversity who have malice in their hearts."

"An insightful, compelling, & ultimately troubling book about the leftist mindset."

--Peter Schweizer 

"The preeminent explainer of the American left and its attempt to destroy America."

--Dennis Prager

·    Why the Biden Presidency must end in 2024!

CORRUPT reveals the inside story of the payoffs, bribes, and payments to Joe Biden and his corrupt family from Ukraine, China, Russia, and others and what China got from Biden in return for its money. Dick's new book tells how Biden let China:

·    Escape any investigation or sanction for Inflicting COVID on the world and blocking any investigation of its cause;

·    Undermined the dollar internationally;

·    Requires U.S. companies to give away their technology and trade secrets to do business in China;

War Against the Deep State By Col. Ret. John Mills

"Colonel John Mills' book, War Against the Deep State, clearly lays out the threats to freedom that all Americans face. Action packed, filled with suspense, and laced with actions to defeat our enemies; a reader will be left with no other choice - time to stand up, step up, and speak up!"

--Michael Flynn, LTG (Ret) and Trump Nat. Security Advisor

 WAR AGAINST THE DEEP STATE

By Colonel Retired John Mills

Colonel (Retired) John Mills writes in his new book, War Against the Deep State that the poison of Deep State corruption is a global problem, and America has become Ground Zero. The corrupt Deep State has weaponized the Intelligence Community against the American people; they should have helped identify the Hamas preparation for the attack on Israel. What happened in Israel is coming to America through the unsecured southern border. Chinese military-aged males coming up from Central America and into the U.S. are the vanguard of the attempt to topple America from within. Securing our communities and the White House in 2024 are more important than ever.

But exactly what is the Deep State and how can we defeat them? Americans are learning the answer to this question more and more because of its immense global influence and political sway. If you were plotting global utopianism, would you not target the world's largest superpower, which just so happens to place democracy, liberty, and freedom at the center of its values?

“What if our America, the one that famously has three branches of co-equal government – executive, legislative, and judiciary – has been transformed by the addition of three new branches of government that we never voted for?” writes Ed Martin in the foreword. “What if these branches have unknown, unchecked powers over how we live? What are these branches?”

In War Against the Deep State, you’ll learn about:

·    The unlawful 4th, 5th and 6th branches of government - how and where they began;

·    What average American citizens can do to take back our country;

·    How to use the key battlegrounds in order to take back control from the Deep State: the county council; the election board; the registrar; the school board; the sheriff; district judges/clerk of the court and the county attorney;

·    China’s role in all of this; and

·    What Col. Mills predicts will occur between now and the 2024 presidential election.

War Against the Deep State is a blueprint to shut down the unlawful 4th, 5th, and 6th branches of government that have stealthily developed. We need you, as Americans, to stand up, be counted, and fight for the liberty for which those who have come before you have shed blood. The weapons are not guns and bullets, they are ballots and our voices; and it is critical that we let our voices be heard. Whether it’s facing down the school board crazies or stamping out the obscenities our children are facing from the cult of transgenderism, to stopping the flow of fentanyl, or the cancer of Big Tech, War Against the Deep State provides effective solutions.

We need to protect the foundations of a system that has, up to this point, defended us diligently, but is beginning to falter and fall under the weight of corruption. 95% of the American citizens who want to save the Republic need to focus 97% of their energy right where they live to secure their counties, cities, and towns. The other 3% can be spent on crashing the market capitalization of woke companies and keeping abreast of the national and international struggle. Once the Deep State is destroyed, our Constitutional America will yield the freedom and prosperity for all of us that we deserve.

"John Mills, like Sam Adams in 1775, understands it is woefully inadequate simply to acknowledge that American liberty is under attack by a tyrannical government; John understands grassroots action is the only remedy. More importantly, Colonel Mills educates us on today’s perilous battle space and how to be effective in it... essential reading for American Patriots."

--Blaine D. Holt, Brigadier General (Ret), USAF

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Colonel (Ret.) John Mills is a national security professional with service in five eras: Cold War, Peace Dividend, War on Terror, World in Chaos – and now, Great Power Showdown and the fight to save our Republic. He is the former Director of Cybersecurity Policy, Strategy, and International Affairs at the Department of Defense. John is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy. He has seen the corruption firsthand and knows that the battle can only be won by American Citizens willing to get up and fight for their country. 

A Watchman in the Night By Cal Thomas

 

“When Cal Thomas speaks, I try to listen. I’ve been listening to him for a LONG time! As a columnist, he added point of view and perspective but never abandoned his addiction to truth above emotion. The result has been that he is the kind of influencer who is willing to even bring objective truth and morality into the discussion.” --Governor Mike Huckabee

A WATCHMAN IN THE NIGHT

What I’ve Seen Over 50 Years Reporting on America

By Cal Thomas 

From one of the most popular syndicated columnists in the United States a living history of our times, of who we were then and who we are now and who we might become (for better or worse) in the future, and a remarkable chronicle of modern American life.

As we fast approach the next presidential election, it’s a great time to look back over the last half century that one of the greatest journalists in American history has reported on historic happenings in America. In A Watchman in the Night: What I’ve Seen Over 50 Years Reporting on America, veteran journalist Cal Thomas takes the reader on a “road trip” through over fifty years of journalism and American life, serving as a “watchman” on culture and politics and seeking to conform it to a standard that never changes.

A watchman “keeps guard over a building at night, to protect it from fire, vandals, or thieves,” says Thomas who is a believer that certain values and principles never change. He has critiqued misbehavior and wrong-headedness by people on “his side” from the start. “If values and truth mean anything,” Thomas says, “they must be applied equally. Hypocrisy and heresy cannot be ignored no matter the source.” In A Watchman in the Night, Thomas does not stigmatize labels, such as “conservative” and “religious,” because , he says, “It allows people to define me and others by their perception of those labels. Ask me a question and I will give you a straight answer.

In A Watchman in the Night, you’ll learn about:

·    How a conservative and openly Christian man managed to succeed as a columnist within a profession most are rejected and even scorned;

·    Some of the most famous people Thomas has interviewed and known in his half century of reporting;

·    How Thomas, as a conservative, was able to befriend his liberal colleagues and work with them peaceably without compromising his own belief system;

·    How human nature never changes - greed, lust for power... failure to apply time tested principles on economics, foreign policy, border security and proven moral values;

·    How the media have become even more biased since Thomas started writing his column;

·    How the media fuel discord and anger by never focusing on solutions but rather conflict (for example, the $33 trillion growing debt). They behave as if there is no objective truth, competing for ratings rather than solutions; and

·    How Thomas got liberals and Democrats to endorse his book without compromising his principles and why that should be an example to others.

For over fifty years in journalism, Cal Thomas has offered incisive, humorous, and often corrective commentary to our social, political, and religious conversations. An early commitment to addressing publicly what he sees has marked Thomas’s entire career. He has always called both parties, both sides of the American political divide, to account, to take the high road and to honor our civic and religious ideals with compatible behavior to the very best of our ability. This increasingly “radical” approach to public life has won him many friends on both sides of the political aisle, hundreds of thousands of faithful readers of his columns, and a continuous barrage of accolades and “hate mail,” much of it charming when it is not too foul to repeat.

Cal Thomas came to the Christian faith while a young journalist at a dinner led by Dr. Richard Halverson, Pastor at Fourth Presbyterian Church in Bethesda, MD, and later, Chaplain of the United States Senate. This experience informed the rest of his life as he hosted his own private dinners for members of the press and members of Congress from both parties leading to deep friendships with Senator Ted Kennedy and many others - friendships which became a hallmark of Thomas’s life despite wide political differences. A Watchman in the Night includes tones about faith, but focuses on American social, cultural and political currents.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: CAL THOMAS is a journalist, pundit, author, TV & radio commentator and one of the most widely syndicated columnists in America. Thomas began his journalism career at the age of sixteen and 2023 marks over fifty years as a journalist, which includes anchoring, reporting commentary for Newsmax, KPRC-TV in Houston, NBC News in Washington, and other outlets. For ten years, he co-wrote the "Common Ground" column for USA Today with his colleague, Bob Beckel. He is the bestselling author of America's Expiration Date, What Works, The Things That Matter Most, Common Ground, Uncommon Sense, Blinded by Might, The Death of Ethics in America, Book Burning, Liberals for Lunch, The Freedom Dream and Public Persons and Private Lives. Thomas is a wide-ranging social commentator, not a "beltway insider," who supports traditional conservative values and the American "can-do spirit."

Sleep to Heal By Abhinav Singh, M.D.

SLEEP TO HEAL

7 SIMPLE STEPS TO BETTER SLEEP

By Abhinav Singh, M.D.

Medical Director at the Indiana Sleep Center & NBA Sleep Coach 

What if a good night's sleep was all you needed to transform your life beyond your wildest dreams?

Are you tired of waking up tired? You're not alone. We may have become super-productive in our fast-paced, always-connected, 24/7 society. We pride ourselves on being ambitious, energetic, and productive. But we've paid a high price for our modern lifestyle. We've lost something precious: our harmonious connection to sleep, a natural biological function integral to our overall health and well-being. In his new book, SLEEP TO HEAL: 7 Simple Steps to Better Sleep, Dr. Abhinav Singh has discovered the solutions you've been looking for to understand the enduring mystery of sleep.

The new and unraveling science of sleep tells us that sleep impacts everything from anxiety and creativity to productivity and longevity. We also now know it's an essential pillar of health - perhaps even more important than nutrition and exercise; and there is no way around the fact that without proper sleep, our bodies suffer and age more rapidly. After all, we spend one-third of our lives sleeping.

Dr. Abhinav Singh is a physician with a keen interest in preventive medicine, and he firmly believes that better sleep equals better health. Whatever your age, this book will help you revolutionize your waking/sleeping patterns on a daily basis and will support you on a renewed journey toward better sleep and therefore better health, and ultimately a better life. You'll learn to sleep the way we were meant to sleep: in quiet darkness by the natural rhythm of a rising and setting sun - medication free.

In SLEEP TO HEAL, you'll learn:

·    That everyone can learn to sleep better - much in the same way athletes have coaches, SLEEP TO HEAL can be a most valuable tool to coach you to a better night's sleep;

·    SLEEP TO HEAL is different from other sleep books - it is written from a clinical perspective (from a primary care doctor's perspective) and filled with real patient success stories. Primary care looks after a patient and sleep impacts the entire health of each and every patient in a profound way;

·    All about how, during the COVID-19 pandemic, humanity's sleep - collectively, globally, as a whole - was collapsing under the weight of the stress of our "new normal" - every person's sleep was affected;

·    How to conquer insomnia, fatigue, sleep apnea, snoring and even ways to manage narcolepsy and forever put an end to debilitating sleep deprivation;

·    About the sleep-success connection: for athletes, CEOs, executives, artists, writers and professionals; and

·    Sleep heals almost everything. HEAL is 66% of the word HEALTH and it's right there for all of us to pay attention to in order to live a better more productive life. Proper sleep adds life to your years and years to your life.

No matter your goal - better sleep, losing weight, or simply feeling calmer and more patient in your relationships - it's never too late for a 'sleep reboot.' Based on scientific research and 15 years of clinical experience from a double board-certified sleep physician who has taught the art of sleep to more than 7,000 patients, SLEEP TO HEAL will forever reshape the way you think about sleep and provide you with the strategies and tools you need to transform your life from the inside out - one peaceful night at a time.

REFRESH, RESTORE, AND REVITALIZE YOUR LIFE TODAY!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Abhinav Singh, a physician with board certifications in sleep medicine and internal medicine, specializes in comprehensive care of all aspects of sleep health. He also has a Master's in Public Health and a keen interest in preventive medicine and promoting health, and firmly believes that Better Sleep = Better Health. Dr. Singh's special focus includes sleep physiology and all aspects of sleep as it pertains to health and various disorders.

He is also a Associate Clinical Professor at Marian University College of Medicine, where he developed and teaches a Sleep Medicine rotation to medical students and residents.
