Mencken’s Forgotten Wisdom on War
by Jim Bovard | Jun 25, 2025
As a stampede of weasels just sought to con America into supporting another Mideast war, it is time remember America’s most underrated critic of bellicose folly. H.L. Mencken is famous for his smackdowns of politicians and ridicule of government and of much of American culture. But he also offered sage advice for citizens judging officialdom itching for carnage.
On May 9, 1939, The Baltimore Sun published Mencken’s essay on “The Art of Selling War.” This piece, included in the Second Mencken Chrestomathy published in 1995, deserves a far higher position in the Mencken and antiwar pantheon.
In words that are painfully relevant for today’s news, Mencken warned, “The fact that all the polls run heavily against American participation in the threatening European war is not to be taken seriously.” Mencken continued:
“Wars are not made by common folks, scratching for livings in the heat of the day, they are made by demagogues infesting palaces…The very unpopularity of war makes people ready to believe, when they suddenly confront it, that it has been thrust upon them…because their own demagogues have been pretending, all the while, to be trying to prevent it.”

Scientists have now developed a way to genetically engineer lettuce with pig DNA to make plant-based meat taste like meat
The is a new 2026 study that inserted pig myoglobin genes into lettuce chloroplasts, which persisted in the lettuce grown from the harvested seeds. “This research follows the British company Moolec, which inserts pig DNA into soybeans to create what they call piggy soy”
‘Since this is all considered gene editing and not genetic modification, it bypasses most regulation and can be sold with little restrictions’
I have no words for how depraved the minds of these Christ-hating transhumanist idiots are.

THIS IS WHY RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS MATTER.
Yet in states that have eliminated religious exemptions, parents can be forced to choose between violating their religious and ethical beliefs and their child’s ability to attend school.

The WEF states that when a global cyber outage occurs from “Cyber COVID”, the whole world could (AKA will) go into cyber lockdown until a “digital vaccine” is developed.
This seems important to raise again when the tech lizards are screaming about an AI apocalypse in unison right now.

The Netherlands government has killed a 2-year-old baby, just one year after the country legalized euthanasia for children under 12.
In 2025, 10,341 people in the Netherlands were euthanized, up nearly 4% from the year before.
According to the Assessment Committee for Late Termination of Pregnancy and Termination of Life in Newborns and Children Aged 1 to 12 Years, the baby had "both mental and physical" disabilities, so they decided it was best to kill the child.
"The child had multiple, very severe disabilities, both mental and physical, and the prognosis was that the child would be dependent on support with all activities of daily living for the rest of their life."
After getting consent from the child's parents, the baby was killed.
