Posted on December 11, 2018 by Max West

A recent piece at Counter-Currents prompted me to reflect on Alfonso Cuarón’s film Children of Men (2006), loosely based on the novel by PD James. The piece by Trevor Lynch confirms that the pregnant woman being black (in the film) is … Continue reading →

Cartel Torture & Murder Tactics

Posted on December 8, 2018 by Max West

Here’s a (relatively tame) article on Cartel violence. Decapitations by chainsaw? Check. Peeling off someone’s face and stitching it onto a soccer ball? Check. Slowly boiling people alive? Check. Feeding people to hungry lions? Check. There’s beheading by chainsaw – a … Continue reading →
