Many have asked “Why is Perigo writing for Salient…?”
From the perspective of Salient itself, we know that the Editor was trying to create debate, in enrolling a writer whose views were “out there, all alone, on Pluto”, and that he, in fact, over-succeeded. More

Some years ago at this university there was an essay competition for humanities students, instigated by Sir Robert Jones. The topic was “That the world would be a better place if BCom students were given a daily flogging” (Commerce students were forbidden to take part: an unnecessary restriction, I thought, since they can’t write anyway).

On October 10, 1957, Atlas Shrugged was published by Random House. Thirteen years in the writing, including two years on the novel’s key philosophical exposition, Galt’s Speech, Atlas instantly alienated all elements of the establishment. It still does. Yet according to an oft-quoted 1994 US Library of Congress poll, more respondents were influenced by it than by any other book apart from the Bible. More

All religion is evil, and to the extent that its adherents recognise its fabrications for what they are and go on adhering to them, its adherents are evil too. That’s by no means all of them—many just muddle on in unquestioning, custom-based acquiescence to what they’ve been brought up in. Even the latter group, however, may be faulted precisely for being “unquestioning”—not subjecting what they’ve been indoctrinated with to critical examination. More

So kids’ Commie Commissar Kiro wants mandatory screening by the state of every baby’s home life. Compulsory visits from the infanto-nazis. Parents who don’t cooperate will be referred to “welfare authorities.” More

“We love the truth, but we love our fantasies even more,” might well be man’s epitaph. His stubborn refusal to put aside childish beliefs will probably be the death of him. Ours is the Age of anti-Reason, whose logical endpoint, barring a second renaissance, is destruction.

“Freedom is the fundamental requirement of man’s mind. … A gun is not an argument.”—Ayn Rand
What a feeding frenzy the smelly Saddamites have had with my “Death to Islamo-Fascism!” articles! How characteristic, their clamour for censorship! How intellectually and morally bankrupt, their attacks on my sexuality, weight, hair loss, etc.—anything but the argument! More

I note that apologists for Islamofascism have gotten their tea-towels in a twist over my article, “Death to Islamofascism”. More

A few weeks back I sent out the following press release to coincide with that meeting of anti-minds called “Live Earth”: More

To paraphrase my favourite author, Ayn Rand, the world is perishing from an orgy of airheadedness. To be more precise, two types of dictatorship are destroying the world—the traditional, overtly totalitarian type (Islamo-fascism, communism) … and our own democratic type. Democracy is dictatorship by numbers. More

We can be thankful in the wake of the botched bombings in Britain by Islamofascist filth that the filth on this occasion was as incompetent as it is evil. But new Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s response to the abortive atrocities was no cause for gratitude. More

Time to Beat the Bitch Back!
I can’t be sure, but it may well have been me who introduced the term “Nanny State” into the New Zealand vernacular, on my Politically Incorrect Show on Radio Pacific. Certainly I used it regularly there, and observed it percolate into common usage thereafter, as did the related term, “Helengrad.” More
