This wasn\u2019t a \u201cbattle\u201d in the traditional military sense. It was a violent confrontation between a convoy of around 600 New Age hippies, and roughly a thousand police officers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The police officers were there to enforce an injunction preventing the hippies from holding a festival at Stonehenge. That injunction was necessary because, just one year earlier, around 100,000 hippies had \u2014 as hippies tend to do \u2014 caused tens of thousands of dollars in property damage to trees, fences and several archeological artifacts in the area, including Stonehenge itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, in 1985, the authorities understandably wanted to prevent any more hippie carnage from being inflicted on Stonehenge. They set up a roadblock several miles away to turn the \u201cNew Age travelers\u201d away. That\u2019s when, according to the BBC, \u201cPolice said they came under attack, being pelted with lumps of wood, stones and even petrol bombs.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, to this day, the hippies maintain the police were the aggressors. That\u2019s probably not true, but it certainly appears that the police officers used significant force once mayhem broke out. At one point, the police reportedly threw fire extinguishers and stones at the hippies to keep them from fleeing. In any event, ultimately, two dozen people were hospitalized, and more than 500 hippies were arrested. By most accounts, the Battle of the Beanfield marked the single largest mass arrest in the history of England, at least since World War II.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mention the Battle of the Beanfield because it illustrates a couple of things. First of all, it demonstrates an obvious point, which is that the use of force by police officers does indeed deter lawlessness. You don\u2019t have to endorse all of the tactics the police used that day in order to see that. In the years after the Battle of the Beanfield, there were still some hippies who tried to throw a festival at Stonehenge for the summer solstice, but it was nothing like what happened in 1985. For the most part, the hippies got the message loud and clear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The other important takeaway is that, for whatever reason, Stonehenge has long been an object of fixation for antisocial, anti-civilization, anti-human weirdos. Most likely, the interest stems from the mystique of the whole construction. Stonehenge was constructed more than 5,000 years ago without the benefit of the wheel, and it\u2019s still unclear to archaeologists exactly how the builders pulled that off \u2014 or even who exactly the builders were. It\u2019s one of the most impressive monuments ever built in human history, so it kind of makes sense that listless, uninteresting people would latch onto Stonehenge in a desperate attempt to imbue their own lives with more meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That brings us to the events that took place at Stonehenge yesterday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A couple of vandals associated with the group \u201cJust Stop Oil\u201d \u2014 one aged 73 and the other aged 21 \u2014 charged towards Stonehenge and began blanketing it with some kind of orange powder paint. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As you can see, it fell to a tourist to stop these two people from defacing Stonehenge. There were no police officers nearby to immediately detain them, so a random guy on vacation had to step up to preserve one of the most famous structures in the entire world. We\u2019ve seen this again and again. When vandals <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/national-archives-rotunda-evacuated-climate-activists-dump-pink-powder-case-holding-us-constitution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dumped<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  pink powder on the case containing the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives Rotunda in February, no security guards lifted a finger to stop them. Late last year, activists with Just Stop Oil were able to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2022\/oct\/14\/just-stop-oil-activists-throw-soup-at-van-goghs-sunflowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">throw<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  soup on a Van Gogh painting, then glue themselves to the wall, all without anyone intervening. And of course, on too many occasions to count, these kinds of activists have obstructed traffic with impunity. They get away with it so consistently because, at some level, they have the tacit endorsement of the state.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1391-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019ve covered these brats extensively before, but even with all those other incidents in mind, this latest attack on Stonehenge is especially egregious to me. Defacing a monument as ancient as Stonehenge is really an attack on humanity. The fact that Stonehenge is still standing is a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness that\u2019s hard to comprehend even to this day, thousands of years later. The only people who would want to deface or destroy Stonehenge and erase the evidence of humanity\u2019s accomplishments are people who despise humanity itself. It\u2019s the same reason why climate activists want everyone to stop having children. It\u2019s the same reason they want to \u201cend fossil fuels\u201d and crash the global economy. They\u2019re not really concerned about global temperatures rising by a degree or two. They want humanity to go extinct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In comments to the media, Just Stop Oil has denied all of this. They\u2019ve claimed that this orange cornflour paint is going to wash away in the rain, so it\u2019s not really vandalism. Of course, Just Stop Oil has made that same claim before when they vandalized several other monuments, and it\u2019s turned out to be false. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, there are apparently 80 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/uk\/crime\/article\/two-arrestedjust-stop-oil-protesters-spray-stonehenge-orange-paint-99fp2gf2t#:~:text=Nearly%2080%20species%20of%20lichen,sea%20cliffs%2C%20according%20to%20Richards.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">species<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  of lichen on Stonehenge that might be dead now, including rare species that scientists wanted to preserve. They\u2019re still trying to figure out the precise extent of the damage. And even if it does all wash away, they still have no right to use an ancient monument as a platform for their delusional political statement. So even if the paint ultimately does come off, the point remains the same: these activists are fundamentally anti-human \u2014 and they\u2019re becoming increasingly emboldened. In a video message, the 21-year-old Stonehenge attacker \u2014 who apparently identifies as nonbinary \u2014 explained why they\/them\/zim\/zir decided to deface the monument. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few things to note here. First of all, there\u2019s something physicians refer to as the \u201cgestalt.\u201d That includes a person\u2019s general appearance, tone of voice, and the like. And the gestalt is a little concerning here. For starters, this person is whispering for some reason, which comes off as a little unsettling. On top of that, this nonbinary activist is also wearing a Patagonia shirt, even though Patagonia <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/climate-goals\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">admits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  on its website that its vast array of suppliers \u2014 by necessity \u2014 relies on fossil fuels to conduct operations. They emit something like 200,000 metric tons of CO2 every year. So I guess we\u2019re meant to conclude that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/warnock-calls-for-ending-fossil-fuels-in-unearthed-video\/\" title=\"Warnock Calls for Ending Fossil Fuels in Unearthed Video\">ending fossil fuels<\/a> is important, except when nonbinary University of Oxford students need a nice sweater vest or t-shirt. Then fossil fuels are okay. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, every accusation is really an admission with these people. When these activists warn of death and destruction and devastation on an \u201cimmeasurable scale,\u201d they\u2019re actually revealing precisely what groups like Just Stop Oil want to happen. It\u2019s what they know will happen if Western nations stop producing fossil fuels, which supply an overwhelming majority of the world\u2019s energy. We\u2019ll be taken over by China in about a week. Civilization as we know it will come to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For some reason, that appears to be what a significant number of young people now want to see happen. They\u2019ve been indoctrinated into a nihilistic death cult. And on social media, many of these young people are now celebrating what just happened at Stonehenge. On Twitter, Oli London posted an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/olilondontv\/status\/1803529776969167156?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">image<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  of a blue-haired British archeologist with \u201cshe\/they\u201d pronouns who wrote that the attack was \u201cwell done.\u201d More than 10,000 people liked that particular tweet, which gives you some indication of how popular the sentiment is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s not hard to see why this is becoming a trend. For one thing, there\u2019s a lot of money in it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Fox News <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/dark-money-fund-poured-millions-dollars-eco-activist-groups-blocking-highways-destroying-famous-art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  late last year, the Beverly Hills, California-based, Climate Emergency Fund, or CEF, sent roughly $4 million in grants overseas in 2022 alone: \u201cThe most sizable slice [of these grants was] wired to U.K. climate activists. The largest beneficiary of CEF\u2019s funds appeared to be Just Stop Oil, a British activist group that has repeatedly made headlines for stopping traffic and disrupting public places across the UK.\u201d And this is just one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wisconsin-dems-rely-on-front-group-to-attack-republican-incumbent-while-decrying-dark-money\/\" title=\"Wisconsin Dems Rely on Front Group To Attack Republican Incumbent While Decrying Dark Money\">dark money group based<\/a> in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So that amateur quality, creepy video you just saw from the nonbinary activist may have been amateurish on purpose. In reality, Just Stop Oil is an extremely well-funded operation. They could\u2019ve sprung for better production quality if they wanted to. So-called \u201cenvironmental activism\u201d is now a very big business, and a lot of people are making a lot of money on it from sources we can\u2019t identify.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That could be one reason the whole movement is attractive to young people, many of whom are now looking for jobs. On top of that, of course, government officials all over the world have become propagandists who indoctrinate young people as a matter of course. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here for example is New York governor Kathy Hochul warning of an impending heat emergency in the city:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The central claim that Kathy Hochul is making \u2014 that New York has never before seen temperatures that feel like 100\u00b0 \u2014 is completely false. It\u2019s so obviously false that you can disprove it with about five seconds of Googling. According to the National Weather Service, the highest temperature ever <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/media\/okx\/Climate\/CentralPark\/extremes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">recorded<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  in New York City\u2019s Central Park was 106\u00b0 Fahrenheit, all the way back in July of 1936. And that\u2019s the actual temperature, not the heat index. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before that, there was a heat wave in 1896 that killed more than 1,000 people, as temperatures exceeded 90\u00b0. The National Weather Service reports that the warmest month on record in New York was all the way back in July of 1999. And in several years since, New York has hit 100\u00b0 on several occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So what Kathy Hochul is saying is wrong for about a million reasons. But she said it anyway because she knows it\u2019s effective. People hear what she\u2019s saying \u2014 especially young people \u2014 and they believe it. They become activists and loyal voters for the Democrats. And unless they\u2019re met with force, as they were at the Battle of the Beanfield, some of those activists will continue to deface priceless historical artifacts to attract attention to their nihilistic death cult. They will continue to block roadways, preventing people from going to work and ambulances from transporting patients. Appeasing these cultists simply does not work. That much is now very clear. If we want to have any monuments or any history left at all, we need to take the threat as seriously as the British did in 1985, and shut them down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month marks 39 years since the Battle of the Beanfield in Wiltshire, England, just before the summer solstice.
