Unsilent Truth
That truth should be silent I had almost forgot.Antony and Cleopatra, Act 1, Scene 2
Ronn Neff is managing editor of The Last Ditch, identifier and pioneer analyst of Polite Totalitarianism, and author of many of TLDs foundational essays. He winces when I call him the libertarian Machiavelli, but its true.
Unsilent Truth is his series of occasional observations, and from this point forward, tyrannical bullies, professional corruptionists, willful deceivers, and willing slaves might want to cover their ears.
Mr. Neffs overarching site, which is the home to TLD and which I urge you to visit, is Thornwalker.
Nicholas Strakon, editor-in-chief
