Wild Bill, The Silence of the Lambs

The Silence of the Lambs was one great movie. In it Jodie Foster stars as an FBI agent on the hunt for Wild Bill, a serial killer who had kidnapped a senator’s daughter. Jodie Foster has conversations with the captive Hannibal Lector, played by Anthony Hopkins, who tells her that Wild Bill is attempting a transformation. Later on we find that Wild Bill is attempting to create a female suit of skin and therefore transform.

All of this got me thinking about Max Boot. Max Boot is one of the pseudo-conservatives who attached themselves to the conservative movement after the presidency of Ronald Reagan. They are called neoconservatives by many but they are actually disaffected Marxists. Their overriding position is that the State is the supreme power in the universe. This position leads them to favor war with Russia, Iran, etc. This despite the fact that starting a war in some foreign land and attempting to topple the existing government has proven to be a really, really bad idea.

Max Boot and his merry band of warmongers are not dissuaded by defeat. They are willing to gladly intervene again no matter the cost in lives or treasury. If you have not seen it, you should really watch the verbal disembowelment that Tucker Carlson laid down on Max.

Max has written a book titled “The Corrosion of Conservatism: Why I left the Right”. Accordingly, he has received a hero’s welcome from all the progressive media outlets who like nothing better than a former conservative (if only nominally) who sees the light and decides that yes, socialism is the answer. Lately, Max has come full circle and authored an article heralding the State’s report on climate change and exhorting everyone that he was wrong and climate change is true. What is needed is a carbon tax of 17 to 18 cents per kilowatt hour. See , his transformation is complete. He started out a socialist and now he has come full circle and is one again.



In Paris, there is a general protest called the yellow jackets after the hazard jackets that all french are required to have in their vehicles. The French are mightily pissed because Macron raised diesel taxes in an attempt to avert the climate catastrophe. I am not French and I don’t have a yellow vest (yet) but I join them in telling Max Boot and his ilk to bloody well screw off!
