The Oasis for
Rational Conservatives
Thursday, February 19, 2026
The best show on television right now features a major city, the capital of an unsteady government, that is gradually being pulled apart by two competing political parties.
The center can’t hold; it’s being steadily overwhelmed by a pair of rival Socialist groups who don’t hesitate to take their conflicts into the streets as they sweep away their country’s past and head into a glorious future.
Meanwhile, outside the elegant halls of authority, armed gangs roam the streets, setting upon each other with abandon in the ultimate game of thrones.
Washington, D.C., in 2021? No, Berlin in the late 1920s
Social Media is now in control of what you can say, who you can say it to. So, Main Stream media is in control of what you’ll hear, and Facebook/Twitter is in control of what you can say. When are you next? When is the day you post an opinion on social media and poof, you’re gone?
On Friday evening (1/08) The Purge picked up steam. Twitter banned thousands of conservative accounts. Gone, deleted. Big names like General Flynn, gone. Rush Limbaugh, Gone. But wait it gets worse.
Welcome to Communist America. Yes, the New America, brought to you by the lunatics of the World Economic Forum, happy Chinese Communists, Fascist Democrats, and fellow traveling RINOs.
I wish that was my only gripe today. But that’s just one more of over a zillion things that I’m witnessing taking place, as America is overthrown.
The increasingly fascistic American Left is setting a trap for the rest of their fellow citizens—often termed “deplorables,” but more appropriately dubbed “normals” —by warning that we intend violence all over the country during ’s Joe Xiden’s inauguration.
This is nonsense, of course, but any kind of demonstration can be declared violent by a complaisant media or, more ominously, manipulated in that direction by provocateurs, with the slightest incident magnified beyond recognition.
Do not fall for it. There is a much better way to protest the inauguration.

In the setting of COVID-19, almost every country in the world closed its borders, locked down its citizens, and forced businesses to close. Today, most governments still restrict travel, economic activity, and social gatherings.
The justification for these unprecedented measures has been a growing number of COVID-19 cases. This has unleashed an epidemic of COVID testing—with PCR and rapid antigen tests as the means of identifying positive COVID cases. The following examines the science behind COVID testing, whether the testing paradigms are effective, and the rationality behind government response to the virus.
The bipartisan powers that be desperately needed a means to suppress any further discussion of 2020 election fraud. Now they have exactly what they need; any further discussion of election fraud will be surpassed as inciting violence.
Any words uttered by Trump will be censored as inciting violence. Any expressions of support for Trump or any of his policies will be deemed to be inciting violence. There will be no appeal. But don’t lose hope!

The Most Important Numbers Of 2020 & The Golden Future Of 2021
June 15, 1961. It was quite a shock to me when I was the surprise guest on Ralph Edwards’ famous television show. My “Life” at age 17? How could that be? The show’s producers were intrigued by a recent Life Magazine story of my swimming the Hellespont as did Leander in Greek mythology (December 12, 1960 issue) that also had photos of me on top of the Matterhorn and with a Jivaro headhunter.
Without my knowing, they flew my guide for the Hellespont swim, Huseyin Uluarslan, from Turkey to LA, the same for my guide on the Matterhorn, Alfons Franzen, from Switzerland, to be on the show. Most amazing of all, they got the Chief Prefect of Police for Ecuador, Jaime Duran, to pick up Tangamashi (the Jivaro who adopted me) and his brother Naita by helicopter from their Amazon encampment, then fly them from Quito to LA.
I was dumbfounded. So there we are in the photo, left to right: Ralph Edwards, Jaime Duran, Tangamashi, Naita, a very young yours truly, and Ralph Ferguson, son of medical researcher Dr. Wilburn Ferguson who translated for Tangamashi. Quite a moment for a 17 year-old boy – and no doubt for Tangamashi! (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #10)
This is Caño Cristales, a river flowing through an ancient tableland in a remote roadless region deep in the forests of Colombia. Known as The Liquid Rainbow, geologists consider it the world’s most beautiful river.
The colors are due to endemic riverweeds that grow only here, clinging to the rocks of the riverbed, and the crystal clarity of the water. It is not easy to get to – fly a light plane to an airstrip, take a boat upriver for miles, then walk a few miles more. But then you get to explore one of the most beautiful sights nature has to offer – replete with dozens of small fun waterfalls, surrounded by an uninhabited forest teeming with tropical birds.
No wonder National Geographic calls Caño Cristales “the River of the Garden of Eden.” Yet it is only one of the many extraordinary experiences in this huge country – for Colombia is larger than Texas and California combined. Wheeler Expeditions will be conducting an exploration of Hidden Colombia in 2021. Hope you can be with us. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #22 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
My wife Rebel and I love this uniquely picturesque ancient Berber village in Morocco where everything is painted in shades of blue. Suffused in soothing blue, there’s no more relaxed place than just about anywhere. Everyone is welcome from the wealthy staying in sumptuous boutique hotels to backpackers in hostels. There are no “tourist spots,” for every café and bar is where the locals go themselves. (It’s pronounced shef-shah-win, by the way.)
Berbers – “Amazigh” (Unconquered) in their language, are the original people of Morocco having lived there for over 12,000 years. They are directly related to the reindeer-herding Lapps of Lapland in northern Scandinavia (they share the same mitochondrial DNA haplogroup U5b1b). Both are descended from the same stock of Cro-Magnon Ice Age hunters in Western Europe that split in two 15,000 years ago – one moving far north, the other south crossing the Gibraltar Strait to Africa.
One more reason why Morocco is so magical. Would you like to experience the Magic of Morocco with us next year? (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #21 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
This is the black sand beach the US Marines stormed on February 19, 1945, beginning the legendary Battle of Iwo Jima. Overlooking the beach is Mount Suribachi, where four days later Joe Rosenthal took his iconic photo of six Marines planting the US flag on its summit.
You can come here once a year at a commemoration jointly held by the US and Japanese militaries. Guests of honor are the few Marine veterans of the battle still alive. To be here on these sands and on the summit of Suribachi, where the memorial lauds them – “On Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue” – with these heroic men is an indescribable privilege.

These Mongol nomads in the vast grasslands of central Mongolia milking their goats have a way of life unchanged for centuries. All of our concerns, worries and fears that plague us are totally irrelevant to them. They don’t know about them and wouldn’t care if they did.
Spending time with people such as these gives you an invaluably broader perspective of life on our planet. Our concerns, the issues that dominate our headline news, suddenly seem more parochial and far less important. An evening drinking kumiss (Mongol beer, fermented mare’s milk) in their yurts, telling stories, laughing at jokes – you realize how easy it is to relate to them through the core humanity we all have in our souls.
Exploring Mongolia in this way is a priceless adventure. We’ll be there again in the summer of 2021. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #9 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
Ashli was an unarmed non-violent 100-pound woman peacefully protesting the theft of the Presidency by Congress on Capitol Hill, when without warning or provocation, she was murdered in cold blood by Capitol Hill Police with a point-blank gunshot to her chest.
One by one, every major legal, judicial, political, educative, social and cultural institution in our country has become a traitorous madhouse of lawless fascism and hatred for America – from the Department of Justice and the FBI to the Supreme Court, from the Democrat-Rino Uniparty to virtually our entire educational system Kindergarten to college, from Hollywood to Silicon Valley, from every two-digit IQ commie on Twitter to the Vice-President of the United States.
So what do we do about it?
The President of the United States had to issue this statement through his White House spokesman because he has been suspended by Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Note that he did not concede – and never will.
For at 3:30am this morning (1/07), in one of the most despicable acts of cowardice in American history, Mike Pence certified the fraudulent non-election of an agent of Communist China to be the next president. It is Darkness at Noon.
Darkness at Noon is Arthur Koestler’s classic portrayal of the horror of Communism and all forms of fascistic tyranny dedicated to snuffing out any vestige of individual freedom and dignity. Just such a darkness has now descended upon America.
I am still in Bali, 13 hours ahead of Washington DC. It’s getting late at night here while it’s only mid-morning on this fateful day of January 6. Early tomorrow morning Rebel and I will begin the long process of flying back home. So I can report only what is happening now, before Mike Pence decides America’s fate.
What has happened is the Dems have stolen the two Senate seats in Georgia – which means Pence “coming through for us” is more mortally critical than before. For his doing so is no longer just winning the presidency – it’s preventing Democrat Fascist Communists from being in total control of the entire federal government.
Which brings me to what Senator Jesse Helms told me decades ago. And to an unforgettable scene in an unforgettable movie.
