So there is political turmoil in Georgia right now as the Georgian government attempts to pass laws requiring any organization that receives more than 20 percent of its funding from abroad to register as “foreign agents.” Somehow media organisations being forced to disclose their foreign funding would restrict “free speech” and is “anti-democratic.” Truly laughable.
This has angered the Americans and the EU who are going total mask off with their clear intention to control the Georgian political process rather than allowing an organic national conversation to guide its politics.
The “transparency of foreign influence” law passed by Georgia’s parliament on March 7 is “incompatible with EU standards and values,” says EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borell
Borrell also called on Georgia to uphold its commitment to the promotion of democracy, the rule of law and human rights, and the right for people to peacefully protest.
So now an attempt at a Euromaiden style coup is occuring in Georgia to prevent this bill from simply creating transparency about foreign influence over their media, whilst their pro-Western President Salome Zurabishvili just so happens to be visiting the US. Incredible stuff. "Democracy, the rule of law and human rights" appear to basically mean allowing your country to be subverted by foreigners who want to turn it into a Ukraine-style warzone for the sake of their geopolitical chessmatch with Moscow.

In one of the greatest attacks on free speech to date, Arktos, the world’s foremost publisher of New Right and traditionalist literature in the English language, was suddenly de-platformed by the world’s largest book distribution monopoly, resulting in over 430 publications becoming unavailable to the public.

Guenon’s objection is not to philosophy per se, but to a philosophy denuded of esoteric content. At the heart of Plato’s philosophy is the Form of the Good – God, the Source. The Form of the Good is clearly the object of mystical revelation and it gives all reality a divine quality. Thus, reality is being generated by God and it shares in God’s divine nature. Wisdom must be grounded in reality. Rational philosophical reflection must be centered around the real. If the divine is absented from philosophical speculation, then a vacuum is created. This vacuum can only be filled with malignant creations of the human imagination.
...
Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is a useful starting point for all attempts to understand Platonic philosophy. Everything Plato writes presupposes such a vision of reality. Plato has a place for rationality, but he at no point tries to deduce morality from merely rational considerations.
...
Plato saw that ethics without an appreciation of the divine origins of life is meaningless and a hopeless task. God is the alpha and the omega; the origin and destination. Rationalism, on the other hand, loses its way.

Very interesting article emphasising the experiential and mystical foundation of Platonism and the problem of modern rationalism divorced from the supra-rational.
I will be discussing this in a show on the allegory of the cave in the next installment of my Platonism series with Aarvoll.

Ideas have consequences. Arguably, a precondition of having a workable, functioning and non-nihilistic culture rooted in a particular time and place, incorporating “a people” with some functioning identity, room must be found for the transcendent. No culture…

The philosopher A.N Whitehead once commented on Plato's thought: “The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."

Did you think it was just statues of slave owners they were after?
A Welsh government apparatchik, Dawn Bowden, deputy minister for the arts has released 'guidance' recommending the removal or boxing up of statues of 'old white men' in order to 'create the right historical narrative'.
Our history is being abolished because we are white and they hate us for it. Plain and simple.
