"Liberalism has not changed since Groen's time. Revolutionary liberalism must proceed. The abuse of language must continue unabated. The politics of negation cannot stop. Having made Western man fit for maximal production and consumption—having formed mass man—the revolution shifts to sexual libertinism, women's liberation, racial equity, and the undoing of gender ... Thus, for the revolutionaries, 'the organic development of society' needs to be destroyed, writes Groen."

- Dr Stephen Wolfe, in his foreword to the first-ever English edition of Groen van Prinsterer's Vrijheid, Gelijkheid, Broederschap. Translated and annotated by the Pactum Institute's Dr Adi Schlebusch.

Copies are available from today, the 146th anniversary of Groen van Prinsterer's death:

In his latest peer-reviewed academic publication, Dr Schlebusch argues that

"postmillennial eschatology has a unique potential to narratively decentre the status quo characterized by a lack of social cohesion, political conflict, corruption and infrastructural decline in favour of a narrative paradigm shift towards a long-term optimistic focus on the future as a time of prosperity and progress. By inciting a revitalized commitment to that future by means of moving away from political centralization and dependence on government through the application of the principle of subsidiarity, small yet strong and rooted confessional Christian communities can contribute to constructively reshaping the ... socio-political landscape."

HG Stoker on the historical authenticity of Genesis 1-3.
"Less God yields less patriotism and fewer babies. It should come as no surprise that parents are more religious, patriotic and traditional than non-parents. But this process works in reverse, too—fewer children and less patriotism yields less God ... The way forward means recognizing that the world into which we are born includes families, institutions and nations ... To live with piety is to accept our place in that structure of reality, favoring the near over the far. The implication is that we have obligations to our families, neighbors and countrymen over strangers and foreigners."

Embrace Hoedemakerianism. Neo-Calvinism is just too contaminated by "Gospel Affections."
Rev Bret McAtee, research fellow with the Pactum Institute, addresses the question of whether the Great Replacement is a conspiracy theory:

"The greatest loss were the Great Replacement to succeed would be the loss of Biblical Christianity for a untold number of generations. It is Biblical Christianity after all that the cultural Marxist proletariat most hate ..."

"In its unattainable desire to be freed from the inescapable sovereignty of one and only true living God, Liberalism as religion starts with autonomous man as central epistemic axiom. It is man, not God, that creates and defines reality and meaning. Any authority over man is therefore to be rejected as fundamentally at odds with this axiom. From here Liberalism’s heretical egalitarian social ontology logically follows.

But of course, this is radically at odds with the central axiom of Christian epistemology, namely that divine revelation is holistic, universal and inescapable. It encompasses not only all knowledge and facts, but all of created reality which finds its origin and purpose in the divine will."

"Society stands before an inevitable choice: either submit to the authority of God and His Revelation, or reject it and decline into the revolutionary abyss." - Dr Adi Schlebusch (Translator's Preface)

"By knowingly going against the witness of Scripture and history by casting David as an African, the production is not only historically inaccurate, but purposefully rebelling against and undermining the authority of Divine Revelation which has given us an infallible witness as to the physical complexion and ethnic identity of king David."
Rushdoony, like the apostle Paul, simply couldn't understand that "gospel affections" are the only affections we're apparently allowed to have.

White Boy Summer Livestream #2 this Saturday at 9pm central. Adi from Pactum Institute. Continuing with the theme "For People For Place" and discussing natural affection!
While we are aware of Youtube's militant censorship policies, we have now also launched a YouTube channel to complement our Rumble and GabTV channels. All relevant content will be uploaded to all three channels. Once we have 50 followers on YouTube we will also have the option to do livestream, which will, God willing, come in handy for future conferences.
