The Strong Gods Resurrected

The International "Rules-based" Order is kaput!  We're all BACK  on "the global Honour System" Again!

from Google AI:
In 2026, the concept of being a gentleman is widely regarded as inseparable from a personal honor code, though the nature of that code has shifted from rigid social status to a set of internal moral principles. While it doesn't "always" involve a formal written document, it fundamentally relies on an unwritten standard of conduct.

The Role of an Honor Code 
Definition of Character: A modern gentleman’s identity is defined by his integrity and trustworthiness—his "personal brand". This code acts as a sole standard of conduct that remains consistent even in private. 
The "One-Rule" Standard: Historical and institutional definitions, such as those at Washington College, suggest that being a gentleman can be distilled into a single honor system: not lying, cheating, or stealing, nor tolerating such behavior in others. 
Sacred Trust: For a true gentleman, honor is often viewed as "sacred," meaning honesty and fairness are non-negotiable under any circumstances.

Core Principles Often Included in the Code 
A gentleman's code typically governs three main areas: 
Integrity: Always keeping one's word and maintaining honesty even when it is difficult. 
Respect and Consideration: Prioritizing the comfort and feelings of others. This includes treating everyone with dignity regardless of their social standing or what they can offer in return. 
Accountability: Taking full responsibility for actions and mistakes. A gentleman is a "work-in-progress" who seeks reconciliation when he falls short of his own standards.
These articles define the principles of gentlemanly conduct, emphasizing integrity, respect, and accountability as core components of a personal honor code.

from Google AI:

A non-toleration clause is a core component of many strict honor codes, particularly at military academies (like West Point and Air Force Academy) and some universities, obligating individuals not only to refrain from lying, cheating, or stealing but also to report or address such violations by peers, making silence an honor offense itself and emphasizing collective responsibility over personal loyalty. It forces a difficult choice between friendship and duty, establishing a high ethical standard where allowing dishonesty makes one complicit.

Key Aspects
  • Definition: "I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do" is a common phrasing, emphasizing peer accountability. 
  • Purpose: To maintain institutional integrity by ensuring a shared commitment to high ethical standards, promoting character development, and fostering collective responsibility. 
  • Action Required: If a violation is witnessed, the person must confront the offender to encourage self-reporting or report it to authorities; failure to do so is itself a violation. 
  • Controversy: It's often seen as demanding, pitting loyalty to friends against duty and fostering a culture of reporting, which some find difficult or harsh. 
  • Context: While prominent in military settings, similar principles exist in academia (e.g., at Duke, Texas A&M), though some institutions have removed or modified the clause.

Duty, Honour, Country 

...but WHICH Country, Globalists/ Imperialists?
