The US – that powerful nation standing for peace, self-determination and liberty – as Charles Hugh Smith discusses, is a spectacle, an artifice, a lie. Smith refers to Guy Debord’s 1967 book, and Debord’s subsequent Comments on the Society of...
The second stage to Trump’s “hand-off” of the Ukraine war to the Europeans was clearly set out in his Truth Social post of 23 September. In the first phase of the hand-over, Trump withdrew from being the primary supplier of armaments to Kiev, and indicated that from...
As I have long dreaded, it appears the weight of the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult is bearing sway. They have both hands on one side of the tiller. On the other side is Team Peace Prize, patting each other on the back with one hand, and eating a cheeseburger with the other....
“The era of the Department of Defense is over… From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: warfighting.” — Pete Hegseth “America is under invasion from within… That’s a war, too. It’s a war from within… We should...
On Tuesday we observed one of the strangest spectacles of our time. President Trump and his "Secretary of War," Pete Hegseth, called a mandatory meeting of all the top brass in the US military. Some 800+ general officers, admirals, and the like gathered at Marine...
I had the pleasure of appearing on Charlie Kirk’s program a few times over the years and I always found him to be polite, respectful, and genuinely interested in ideas. Even in areas where we might not have agreed, he listened carefully. He was a strong advocate of...

The Democrats are so partisan now and so eager to criticize President Trump on anything he does that they are even attacking him for entering into peace negotiations with Vladimir Putin. They are so desperate that they are even attacking him on things they used to...
Last week President Trump took steps to re-name the Department of Defense the “Department of War.” The President explained his rationale for the name change: “It used to be called the Department of War and it had a stronger sound. We want defense, but we want offense...
Peace-loving people throughout the world breathed a sigh of relief when the Israeli-American war on Iran ended in June after 12 days, with President Trump racing to triumphantly declare US strikes had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program. While his rhetoric suggested...
Trump and a raft of pundits and US intelligence officials continue to operate on a set of false assumptions and delusional beliefs about Russia and the war in Ukraine. Sy Hersh is out with a new article, and the quotes from his source (or sources) in the Trump...
Last week the nuclear rhetoric between the US and Russia made some of us feel like we were transported back to 1962. Back then, Soviet moves to place nuclear-capable missiles 90 miles off our coast in Cuba led to the greatest crisis of the Cold War. The United States...
