The Libertarian Opposition is Rising…
By Sean Dempsey8/29/25 During the waning of a drear and tempestuous season, while the dank forests of New Hampshire trembled beneath winds unseasonable and a melancholy haze spread like a funeral pall across its pale and resolute villages, there came into my possession a mysterious, but not unwelcome, letter whose contents so disquieted the chambers […]
Sean Dempsey8-18-25 The lanterns burn with pallid light,And the corridors are still;Yet walls divide both joy and blight:Both mercy and its ill. The midnight hush is cold and long,The air with ether sweet;The measured steps of nurses’ throngBeat soft on weary feet. A mother clasps her newborn son!His cry: a trumpet clear.Her weary heart declares […]
By Sean Dempsey, 07/20/25 Let no one say the following is allegory or invention. It is, I assure the reader, entirely true, having been performed not upon the floor of Parliament nor the pages of moralist tracts, but in a respectable laboratory, by a respectable scientist, using respectable mice. In the Year of our Lord […]
T. S. Eliot’s The Hollow Men and Sean Dempsey’s America, 2023 both confront the spiritual and moral decay of civilization, but they do so from opposite emotional poles. Eliot’s poem is elegiac: a whispered lament for a world hollowed out by inertia and disillusionment. His “stuffed men” drift without agency, trapped in the shadow between […]

By Sean Dempsey, 04/15/25 The silver mining sector stands at the threshold of a potentially historic rally, driven by a rare confluence of macroeconomic imbalances, collapsing input costs, and structural mispricing. As of April 2025, the silver-to-gold ratio sits just under 100:1, a level that, while not unprecedented, remains among the most extreme in modern […]
A whimsical children’s tale to help explain the wonders and audacious logic of tariffs. == Tank Thompson, wild-eyed and grinning, cut off his own ear at recess. Nobody knew why. Maybe it was a dare no one heard … or just a storm inside him finally breaking loose. Blood slicked his neck. He held the […]
by Sean Dempsey, 04/03/2015 Tariffs Explained Tariffs, often sold as shields to protect a nation’s workers and industries, are in reality a cruel tax that falls hardest on the poor and middle class of the very country that levies them. Far from safeguarding prosperity, they distort markets, inflate prices, and erode purchasing power, as some […]
By Sean Dempsey, 04/03/25 In hindsight, 2024 will likely be chronicled in history books as the year when the postmodern fever broke—an era marked by an unchecked commitment to relativism, the absurd elevation of subjectivity, and an almost religious rejection of objective truth.
