About

Would you be surprised to learn that you have been indoctrinated by your teachers, your parents, your news and entertainment media, your best friends, and your culture at large? If so, you have probably not been reading the Al Fin blogs, first established on the Blogspot domain in 2005.

In January of 2013, Google cut off administrative access to all of the then-existing Al Fin blogs. Since then, WordPress has proven a more enlightened online domain, allowing the Al Fin writers as much freedom to think and write in unconventional ways as we have desired.

This blog is not an attempt to replace all of the earlier Al Fin blogs. The hibernating family of Al Fin blogs found on blogspot.com were dedicated largely to the idea of “the next level,” and helping the best of humanity to survive to reach it. Google shut those blogs down for reasons that remain somewhat mysterious.

An updated list of all Al Fin blogs including the now-hibernating blogspot blogs:

    I’ve linked you a number of times and would like more information about what happened. I’m concerned in particular that Google might be shutting down blogs based on content.

    Please email me at borepatch at gmail (yes, I know) dot com

    Borepatch: It seems likely that someone in Google actually did take offence at blog content, and took the extraordinary actions required to block access — first blocking administrative access, then blocking access to general readers, and finally deleting selected articles from the Google Cache altogether. Shades of Orwell’s 1984. But not so out of the ordinary for Google.

    Google is infested by politically correct drones in editorial and administrative positions. Oversight and accountability appear to be lacking.

    Any thoughts on Charlotte Iserbyt and her book
    The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America?
    (the link goes to the full ebook pdf)

    For being in her eighties she is a remarkably sharp lady, as seen in this two hours long interview where she talks about how the socialist-collectivist state of education came to be, and how the system works to eliminate the influences of parents, religion, morals, national patriotism, merit…

    It is almost like a tie-in to Bezmenovs lecture on subversion.

    Al Fin
    nice to have you back. I missed the informative energy blog at AlFin energy.

  5. Greetings – Have you seen the book Generation Unbound by Isabel Sawhill at Brookings? It talks about class based differences in unintended pregnancy and childbearing in ways that you might find interesting.

  6. I’ve been a regular reader of your blogs. I like your posts.

    I’d be grateful if you would like to exchange links or if you would like to include any posts from my strongestevidence.blogspot.com blog on your links site.

    If you need a guest blogger or would like to cross post anything, no problem.

    Yes I think to reach next level will need Earth planetary surface destroyed, henceforth must go underground as in bulwer-Lytton Sci fi The Coming Race.

    Administrator’s Comment: Thanks for your comment. What you suggest is the next level down. At the Al Fin Institutes we are are planning for higher levels of existence.

    Any chance you can put this JPG of yours up at the current blog before it’s taken away? I find it a perennially useful teaching tool as I’m introducing people to all the topics and concepts it so deftly summarizes in a friendly visual format.

    Just a note to say I enjoy your blog

    What would be interesting it for you and guest posters to post items dealing with how to legally and constutionally fight our enemies and destroy them in a legal and constutional manner. After all it is FAR easier to destroy a thing than it is to build a thing or maintain it. The left got away with what they did because tearing down the nation is one of their goals and we were stuck defending it. But they crossed the Rubicon this time. There is absolutely no reason for us to continue our support of a corrupt system instead of using every means we posses to destroy it.

    I would also note that you will most likely need to.migrate your servers and data yet again since WordPress is joining the collectivist censorship effort.
