Quotes – Sept 5 – 12, 2025 (The Week Charlie Kirk was Assassinated)

Essentially I started The Asylum pointing people in the direction of Substack articles before I was even on Substack. Once I started my Substack, I stopped doing those. But I’m going to start up again. There are so many good writers on Substack that I love quoting. So I’ll be doing that, as needed, and linking to their full, excellent articles for those who want more. Hope you enjoy.

THE MASS PSYCHOSIS OF LIBERALISM

Our world has not gone mad. It was driven mad by the machine whose operating system haunts the minds of the most deranged today.

Here is a brief summary of the state we are in:

  1. Life has been a masquerade for over a century. Now the masks are coming off.
  2. The liberal system has ruled us by inventing new customs to replace Christianity. These are all destructive, insane and contradict reality.
  3. The system which sponsored these messages is now disintegrating – and so are all the people who invested their identities in them.
  4. This is causing a mass psychological breakdown.
  5. Liberal Believers were dependent on the supply and sustenance of their beliefs by the liberal-global state.
  6. This is called the State Religion. It punished the truth, was pro-crime, and demonised its critics. It persecuted the sane, and it hates anything good. It is no longer dominant and its power to sustain is gone. As long as it ruled, being insane was a good career move. Now it isn’t.
  7. People who depend on this emotional and psychological reinforcement will now become unstable. Many of them will lose their livelihoods too, as they were simply employed to enforce and magnify the liberal state religion.
  8. They are correctly understood as victims. They were made mad by a system which told them having no restraint on their consumer desires and wild fantasies was the best. They were told the only beliefs that were good were these false beliefs – and that anyone who did not share them is evil.
  9. They are dangerous because they see their fantasy world is dissolving. They will blame the sane for their insanity.
  10. These people cannot accept their beliefs were false and their life was a lie. This is an existential crisis for those who believed in the beliefs the liberal system supplied – to make belief in itself as the Final Solution to Humanity.

When individual liberty is denied and good and evil looked upon as prejudices in the way of achieving the greatest good of the greatest number, then the logical conclusion is tyranny. — Gennaro Santangelo


Charlie Kirk on X

Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.

In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.

The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.

This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.

Two people watching MSNBC. ...Trump's fascism...cozying up to dictators...obsession with Hitler...political adversaries...He's killing us...shouldn't be questioned by idiots...Trump has said about Hitler... What the hell is this? Trump Derangement Syndrome after a couple of failed assassination attempts.


Breaking: Charlie Kirk is Dead

Charlie Kirk was a brave and decent young man, husband, and father. He often visited college campuses and encouraged debate. He was famous for fielding extremely hostile questions and answering them civilly—the antithesis of those, such as his killer, who silence their opponents with violence.

We are Charlie Kirk. We will not be silenced. We will not back down.


The Weatherman: Some Brief Thoughts

Second, the transition to radical violence is a reflection of the events that followed the death of the radical dream of the 1960s New Left. After the hippies, the Weatherman and the Symbionese Liberation Army. The turn to radical violence is the turn that follows obvious failure. It’s an acknowledgement of political impotence, and a last-ditch emergency reflex: If they won’t submit to our political vision, we’ll coerce them into submission. It’s the death rattle. It means the arguing and convincing has failed, and they see the failure.

In my country we call this a peaceful protest. In my country we call this an invasion.


It's not mental illness. It's hate.

I’m sorry to anyone who thinks the black man who slashed the throat of the blond Ukrainian refugee was having a “mental health” issue. I know it might be comforting to write it off as a sickness, because then we wouldn’t have to have hard conversations. But that’s not what it was. It was hate. A lot of black people hate white people and they want them dead. Murder is the ultimate expression of hatred. The black man hated Iryna and so he killed her. That’s what happened.

After he’d done it, he stalked the train car and to no one in particular, or to everyone on the car, he announced: “I got that white girl.”

He knew what he did and he was proud of it. He’s not ill. He’s a hater.

And the Left, Democrat, RINO lunatics are responsible.

The murder of Iryna Zarutska and the pathological race ideology of the American progressive establishment

Coverage like this is not just bad; it is openly deranged, particularly given the histrionic tendencies we invariably see whenever the races are reversed. In 2020, the New York Times and the rest of the Anglophone establishment lost their collective minds over the death of an unarmed man (allegedly!) at the hands of the police – something that happens about two dozen times a year, in a country of 340 million people. Approximately the same number of Americans are killed every year in freak air rifle accidents. Zartuska’s murder is far more frequent occurrence, and the press hopes only to bury it.

…..

And Charlotte is far from the most dangerous place our young Ukrainian could’ve fled to. Detroit (32/100,000), Baltimore (35/100,000), San Juan (37/100,000), Memphis (48/100,000) and New Orleans (54/100,000) are all vastly worse. To put it as bluntly as possible – and with as little racial sensitivity as I dare – the U.S. black population is largely responsible for imposing on many American cities a civilian death rate equivalent to or far exceeding that seen in a modern country fighting a war on its own territory.

Fauci and others behind bars: I'm ready for justice, not forgiveness.


"Higher education" in the West means teaching students how to take offense

Our “best” schools train their students NOT for independent thinking based on thorough research, but only to “think” JUST like (most of) their professors—a vast lynch mob of explosive prigs

 

Two women. One yelling. One laughing. Free Speech. The Globalists: You can't say that! Shut up!! Shut up!! DIY Researchers: Ha, ha, ha. That's never gonna fly.


Days of Thunder

That reckoning you’ve heard about lo these many years? It’s here now. We’re in it. You just can’t see all the moving parts, and if you did, you might not understand how or where they are moving, and what they are fixing to do next. Aside from certain US senators playing their pre-scripted mad scenes for the cameras, a disquieting quiet blankets the swamp like a miasma. It feels like a long, still moment before some shaking of the earth. Everyone senses it and the guilty must feel it most keenly.

The entire article is worth reading.

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza talking. Sancho, what troubles you? Señor Don Quixote, what if they steal the election again? Ha, ha! What if they do? But Señor Don Quixote, what will happen to us? Good Sancho, more importantly, what will happen to them? Them? I do not know what you mean, Señor Don Quixote. As usual, Sancho, they miscalculated. Their hubris created a Great Awakening, an unrelenting tsunami of decent people all over the world who are angry as hell.

Let’s be clear. What the UK, France and Germany have done, whether they’re bright enough to realize it, or not, is beyond treason, beyond fratricide, it’s the annihilation of the map, a re-ordering of society on a scale that only ice ages could accomplish in times past. And, they did it intentionally out of some racist belief that white people are bad and brown people are the only proper shade the world over. They have ignored their religious beliefs that are incompatible with Western cultures, so they simply annihilated those cultures, welcomed child sexual grooming and humiliation rape gangs. They protect them with armed guards. That takes a special kind of traitor…

…

The US has a lot to dig out from under and one man, one administration, isn’t going to do it. The election of Mamdani in NY likely will put that city, like Minneapolis and Dearborn, in enemy hands. That’s the only way to look at it. Muslim rule is not democratic and it certainly has no relationship with a republic. The fight is existential and the sooner we engage it, the better off we’ll be.

In a recent panel Victor Orban described exactly what has happened over the past several years and it makes more sense than anything I’ve previously heard. For the left it’s all about votes and Muslims will not vote for a conservative, because they are largely Christian. So the left simply imports Muslims to vote and irradicate the right. It’s sadly as simple as that and it’s about to destroy Millenia of lives spent defending Western civilization. Only communists think like that.

 


THE SNITCH Saturday, September 6, 2025 C&C NEW

Nothing terrifies progressives more than plain English. (See, e.g., Orwell’s “Politics and the English Language.”)

I agree with Sanger that the renaming is not nostalgia— it’s demolition. Trump is knocking down the Truman-era Cold War scaffolding that layered a security-state bureaucracy atop our republic. The euphemism “Defense” didn’t just rename a department, it re-engineered the national mindset: America was always “responding,” always “deterring,” never admitting it was running a global empire. That Cold War distortion metastasized into permanent military bases, permanent wars, and permanent excuses.


The Grifters' Lament

What a gruesome spectacle it was to see HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. take on a conclave of vicious grifters on the Senate Finance Committee straining to warp reality in defense of their mighty patron, the nation-wrecking pharmaceutical companies. Do you understand how deep, convoluted, and grave the political sickness is?

…

Thus, you have that battery of US Senators all paid handsomely by Pharma to defend the industry with hysterical obfuscation against the lone figure, Mr. Kennedy, striving to correct all that fantastic corruption. He retorted to their malign nonsense honorably, revealing their conflicts of interest, their cupidity, the bales of dollars paid by pharma to the likes of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and the rest over the years, and their longstanding silence on the afore-mentioned poisoning and drugging of America.

…

The most visible manifestation of that corruption is the chronic illness of the people — 76.4 percent of all of us, he [RFK Jr.] told the committee, with eight out of ten young men physically unfit for military service. We’re the sickest nation in the world.

…

What Mr. Kennedy is challenged with is sorting through all the official lies told by these agencies — the so-called “data” — to arrive at a comprehensible picture of what really happened. And then to inquire beyond Covid into many other pharma products that might be making Americans sick. Neither the politicians nor the people employed by the agencies when Covid went down want that to happen.


FREUD, BERNAYS AND THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Together, Freud and Bernays laid the foundation for the century of sales, their techniques pioneering a process which would deliver us into the consumer nihilism and amoral decay that is the new normal of today.
