Ukraine – Hail Mary Operation To Unblock Pokrovsk Has Failed

Ukraine – Hail Mary Operation To Unblock Pokrovsk Has Failed

by | Nov 1, 2025 |

The Ukrainian army has lost control over the Pokrovsk / Myrnograd agglomeration. Russian forces had over months slowly enveloped the cities from the east and the west. The corridor leading out of it was put under Russian drone control. Any vehicle trying to pass through was attacked. The Ukrainian leadership had thrown any reserves it had to reopen the corridor to the city. All such attempts were destined to fail. A last Hail Mary move was the helicopter insertion of a dozen special forces...

How the Federal Government Acquired the Power of Assassination

How the Federal Government Acquired the Power of Assassination

by | Oct 31, 2025 |

Americans oftentimes forget that the Constitution called the federal government into existence and, equally important, limited its powers to those enumerated in the Constitution itself. In fact, the only reason our American ancestors accepted the Constitution was because they were assured that its powers would be few, limited, and extremely restricted. Thus, the Constitution did not call into existence a government with inherent powers, like the traditional “police powers” that characterized...

Donald Trump the School Bully

Donald Trump the School Bully

by | Oct 31, 2025 |

Now that Donald Trump is President of the United States of America and is strenuously attempting to confirm his right to do “whatever I want to do” over the entire world, it is easy to forget that minus his inability to articulate a coherent sentence his predecessors suffered from much of the same delusion. George W Bush called for a global war on terror and declared himself to be the “new sheriff in town,” a conceit that led to killing millions in Afghanistan and Iraq, while Barack Obama...

Jailed in America for Free Speech

Jailed in America for Free Speech

by | Oct 30, 2025 |

In the aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk, many folks who dared to express views of him and his work outside the mainstream lost their jobs, professional standing and State Department visas as they were fired or otherwise disciplined by employers or bureaucrats who concluded that anti-Kirk views could harm the employers’ businesses or were inconsistent with institutional values. All discipline based on speech needs to be scrutinized strictly. Yet, even in states with strong public...

Leaks expose collapse of EU/US-backed Belarusian ‘opposition’ 

Leaks expose collapse of EU/US-backed Belarusian ‘opposition’ 

by | Oct 30, 2025 |

When Belarusian opposition figure Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya declared herself “President” of an alternative government in 2020, she was enthusiastically embraced – and showered with funding – by the Western governments which yearned to depose the longtime leader of her country, Alexander Lukashenko, and remove Russia’s closest regional ally from the geopolitical chessboard. The New York Times set the tone by lionizing Tsikhanouskaya as a modern-day Joan of Arc. However, a wave of...

The World Financial and Geo-political Framework at a Time of Imminent Disorder

The World Financial and Geo-political Framework at a Time of Imminent Disorder

by | Oct 30, 2025 |

Trump’s attempt to build a “Budapest scenario” (i.e. a Putin-Trump summit grounded on the earlier Alaska “understanding”) was unilaterally cancelled (by the US) amid acrimony. Putin had initiated the 2.5 hr Monday call. It reportedly contained tough talking by Putin about the lack of US preparation towards a political framework – both in respect to Ukraine, but crucially also in respect to Russia’s wider security needs. However, when it was announced by the American side, Trump’s proposal had...

The Vampire State: Feeding on Our Fear, Freedom and Finances

The Vampire State: Feeding on Our Fear, Freedom and Finances

by | Oct 29, 2025 |

Monsters don’t always come wrapped in the trappings of horror or myth. Most often, monsters in the real world look like ordinary people. They walk among us. They smile for the cameras. They promise protection and prosperity even as they feed on fear and obedience. All is not as it seems. We are living in two worlds. There’s the world we’re shown—the bright, propaganda-driven illusion manufactured by the government and its corporate sponsors—and the world we actually inhabit, where economic...

Norwegian Peace Council Rejects Peace Prize Winner

Norwegian Peace Council Rejects Peace Prize Winner

by | Oct 28, 2025 |

Norway's largest peace organization, the Norwegian Peace Council, has announced that it would forego its traditional torchlight procession for the Nobel Peace Prize winner this year after widespread dissatisfaction with the Nobel Committee's selection of Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado as this year's laureate. Eline H. Lorentzen, Chairwoman of the Peace Council, explained that: We have great respect for the Nobel Committee and the Peace Prize as an institution, but as an...

The Rubio Doctrine: Neocons Are Back!

The Rubio Doctrine: Neocons Are Back!

by | Oct 27, 2025 |

According to several recent news reports, the two major Trump foreign policy shifts last week are the handiwork of Marco Rubio, the President’s Secretary of State and (acting) National Security Advisor. As with all neocon plans, they will be big on promises and small on delivery. First up, according to Bloomberg it was Rubio who finally convinced President Trump to take “ownership” of the US proxy war on Russia, and for the first time place sanctions on Russia. Up to this point President Trump...

The Small Boat Attacks Are Illegal

The Small Boat Attacks Are Illegal

by | Oct 27, 2025 |

Since the first of September, the U.S. Navy has been blowing up small vessels off the coast of Venezuela. The current count is nine boats and approximately 37 dead. The U.S. government declares that these boats are an imminent threat to our country because they are operated by narco-terrorists. It appears no evidence was necessary. The Trump administration has completely eschewed the legal requirements for due process or normal interdiction procedures. Sadly, due to the Global War on Terror,...

EU Commission Plan Of ‘Russian Assets’ Loan To Ukraine Ends In Defeat

EU Commission Plan Of ‘Russian Assets’ Loan To Ukraine Ends In Defeat

by | Oct 25, 2025 |

A month ago I discussed a new hare-brained scheme by which the EU would confiscate Russian government money parked in Belgium. The Russian money would be used to finance a EU ‘reparation loan’ to Ukraine which would only have to be paid back when Russia would pay war reparations to Ukraine. That at least was the official pronunciation which turned out to be a quite obvious fake. Another Crazy Idea On How To Steal Russia’s Assets: Make EU Taxpayers Pay For It A look into the details left many...

On Ukraine and Venezuela, Trump needs to dump the sycophants

On Ukraine and Venezuela, Trump needs to dump the sycophants

by | Oct 24, 2025 |

While diplomats labored to produce the Dayton Accords in 1995, then-Secretary of Defense Bill Perry advised, “No agreement is better than a bad agreement.” Given that Washington’s allies in London, Paris, Berlin and Warsaw are opposed to any outcome that might end the war in Ukraine, no agreement may be preferable. But for President Trump, there is no point in equating the illusion of peace in Ukraine with a meaningless ceasefire that settles nothing. Today, Ukraine is...

A Trumpian Headache

A Trumpian Headache

by | Oct 23, 2025 |

President Donald Trump’s use of the US military to kill persons on speed boats in international waters, or in territorial waters claimed by other sovereign nations -- all 1,500 miles from the US -- has posed grave issues of due process. The Constitution's guarantee of due process requires it for every person, not just Americans. The operative language of the Fifth Amendment is that “No person ... shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” The Trump...

Will Trump End Sham Democracy Promotions?

Will Trump End Sham Democracy Promotions?

by | Oct 22, 2025 |

The Trump administration has slashed federal spending for democracy promotion efforts around the globe. That rollback of U.S. meddling is perhaps the most positive foreign-policy reform of the Trump presidency. Since 1946, the U.S. government has intervened in more than a hundred foreign elections to assist its preferred candidate or party. Democracy is so important that the U.S. government refuses to stand idly by when foreign voters go astray. Rather than delivering political salvation, U.S....

The Imperial Propaganda Machine Is Failing In Unprecedented Ways

The Imperial Propaganda Machine Is Failing In Unprecedented Ways

by | Oct 21, 2025 |

Cristina on Twitter asks, “Can you please write another of your beautiful posts about hope. I am not sure I have any left. We need hope.” I don’t understand how anyone can be without hope right now, personally. The imperial propaganda machine is crumbling in ways we’ve never seen in our lifetime. They wouldn’t work so hard on shoring up narrative control if they didn’t need it, and their narrative control is falling apart. Look at Israel. This is an arm of the empire that understands the...

Who Buried the Investigation of Charlie Kirk’s Murder?

by | Oct 20, 2025 |

It has been one month and 10 days since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and we still know nothing factual about it.   The information or disinformation that has come out is nonsensical.  Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for Turning Point USA and executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, said the doctor who examined Kirk told him that there was no exit wound.  Yet, we are told that the bullet was fired from a 30-06 rifle used by the suspect Tyler...
