The result was a seizure of power by the PLA and an estimated 2.8 million death between 1966-1976.

The communist milieu lost a titan last week. Our kind friend and mentor, Loren Goldner (1949-2024), passed away on Friday, April 12th 3:00am, at age of 76. As a tribute to his life and legacy we were able to gather a handful of people who were close to him to share stories, memories and inspirations.

Enjoy this blast from the distant pass: January 2023!
