The Voice of Reason: A mediocre politician is economical with the truth, a great politician is praised for telling the truth

The Voice of Reason

THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

About Me

Claire Khaw: I am a Secular Koranist promoting Secular Koranism as a political reformer to restore the patriarchy and by extension good government. If I am successful, this will result in Westerners finally having governments that govern in the national interest with a moral system at least effective in maintaining minimum standards of sexual morality ie ensuring that most parents in society are married parents. Only then would the West be a patriarchy because only such a society would produce enough masculine principled men capable of defending the national interest. Otherwise, the West, now a matriarchy, would continue sliding into degeneracy, chaos and criminality. It is already obvious that no senior male politician dares criticise the morals of unmarried mothers because of what happened to Keith Joseph in 1974 after his Edgbaston speech, when Britain became a matriarchy. He was one of the few politicians of the old school who spoke the truth and paid for it with his career. Because of what happened to Joseph, no senior male politician now dares speak the truth. The unacknowledged trauma caused to senior male politicians of the West must first be acknowledged before it can be addressed.
