The Betrayal of the Innocents by Ted Cruz Christians

The Betrayal of the Innocents by Ted Cruz Christians

by | Aug 4, 2025 |

The whole world is witnessing the horror of the intentional starvation and killing of innocent children and women in Palestine. These grisly policies are supported by many Zionist Christians such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who claims he is biblically directed to support Israel. On Sunday, another steadfast Israel supporter, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R- SC), outlined one of its options: “I think Israel’s come to conclude that they can’t achieve a goal of ending the war with...

The Happy Penny

The Happy Penny

by | Aug 4, 2025 |

On Saturday, I received three pennies in change at a store. Looking at the pennies in my hand, one jumped out for its unique color. I was happy to see it — the happy penny. Sometimes I have to look at the date on a penny to see if it is one of those increasingly rare to receive in change pre-1982 pennies with a different metal composition than the newer pennies. But, sometimes a special hue shines through the surface giving away the relatively rare coin’s presence. In 1965, silver was replaced...

How Ron Paul took a battering ram to GOP foreign policy

How Ron Paul took a battering ram to GOP foreign policy

by | Aug 2, 2025 |

Ron Paul is turning 90 on August 20. At 72, he was a revolutionary. Today, there is a raucous foreign policy debate within the Republican Party. Populist, realist and libertarian “America First” Republicans argue against endless wars and for fiscal responsibility, while holdover hawks continue to insist on a robust U.S. hand and military presence anywhere they can get it, no matter the cost. In 2008, there was no debate. While broad public opinion had soured on the Iraq War and President...

Our Unhinged Government

Our Unhinged Government

by | Aug 2, 2025 |

Some months ago, I pointed out that Preacher Johnnie Moore’s taxpayer-funded defense firm, the Orwellian labeled Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, had one benefit and one benefit only.  It would allow its American employees, former soldiers in many cases, to be on the ground in Gaza seeing what the US is faithfully funding, and what Israel has done and is doing. Israel, with the active support and blessing of over 80 percent of Israelis since late 2023, has been violently destroying Gazan...

The New Gulag: Mental Health Detentions and the Criminalization of Dissent

The New Gulag: Mental Health Detentions and the Criminalization of Dissent

by | Aug 1, 2025 |

The government’s war on homelessness—much like its war on terrorism, its war on drugs, its war on illegal immigration, and its war on COVID-19—is yet another Trojan Horse. First, President Trump issues an executive order empowering federal agencies to clear out homeless encampments and lock up the homeless in mental institutions using involuntary civil commitment laws intended for dealing with individuals experiencing mental health crises. Days later, a gunman allegedly suffering...

Israel, Listen to Rabbi Berger

Israel, Listen to Rabbi Berger

by | Aug 1, 2025 |

"Judaism is to do justice and to have mercy and to walk humbly with God; and all the rest is commentary and of secondary importance." So wrote Rabbi Elmer Berger, a leading Jewish thinker of the 50’s and 60’s, who opposed what he called Israeli-style "Jewish nationalism." Another renowned Jewish thinker, Arthur Koestler, warned that Israel was becoming "a nasty little Sparta." This past week, much of the rest of the world, sickened by the mass slaughter and destruction in Gaza wrought by...

Can the President Impose Taxes?

Can the President Impose Taxes?

by | Jul 31, 2025 |

This week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit -- which sits right below the Supreme Court -- is hearing a case of profound constitutional importance. It is the government’s appeal of a ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade, which found that President Donald Trump’s unilateral imposition of tariffs on certain goods entering the United States from certain foreign countries is unconstitutional. The lower court recognized that the Constitution established the...

Freedom in a Post-Covid World

Freedom in a Post-Covid World

by | Jul 31, 2025 |

The Covid era cut through traditional ideological paradigms like knives on tissue. Nothing behaved as we might have expected. The civil libertarians were nowhere in sight. The courts did not work. Big business and media fully cooperated. The major religions caved. The national security state thrived, while both parties let it all happen. The population was mercilessly propagandized and pillaged with no resistance from the commanding heights.  Seemingly out of nowhere, pharmaceutical...

Pediatricians Organization Says Eliminate Almost All Vaccine Exemptions for Children

Pediatricians Organization Says Eliminate Almost All Vaccine Exemptions for Children

by | Jul 30, 2025 |

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) distinguished itself as an obsessive shots pusher and freedom theatener during the coronavirus crackdown. It was admonishing that children — who were at very minimal risk from coronavirus — be subjected to the quack practices of masking and social distancing to protect them until they became “fully vaccinated” with experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots. The AAP was also calling on pediatricians to evangelize for giving these dangerous and ineffective...

Why is US Intelligence Providing Bogus Numbers of Dead Russian Soldiers?

Why is US Intelligence Providing Bogus Numbers of Dead Russian Soldiers?

by | Jul 30, 2025 |

I am sort of surprised that no one has done what I am going to do… Provide a realistic calculation of the actual number of Russian casualties since the start of the Special Military Operation in February 2022. This includes Killed in Action (KIA) and Wounded in Action (WIA). Sy Hersh, in one of his recent posts, was fed a line of bullshit by a US military or US intelligence source. I don’t blame Sy… He simply reported what he was told. He wrote the following about the current Russian...

Is the Trump ‘Mystique’ Broken? Does MAGA Sense Betrayal?

Is the Trump ‘Mystique’ Broken? Does MAGA Sense Betrayal?

by | Jul 29, 2025 |

The Epstein cloud is metastasizing and becoming a rallying point for deep-seated popular alienation from certain ruling strata. The public begrudgingly has become resigned to accept that their “rulers” routinely lie and steal, but nonetheless they (particularly within the MAGA faction) have dimly come to understand that there may be vice within the body public which they regard as too detestable to imagine. People have caught on that Trump was in one way or another (even as a by-stander)...

It Shouldn’t Have Taken This Much For Mainstream Voices To Start Speaking Up About Gaza

It Shouldn’t Have Taken This Much For Mainstream Voices To Start Speaking Up About Gaza

by | Jul 29, 2025 |

Israel’s top human rights group B’Tselem has finally declared that Israel is committing genocide, as has the Israel-based Physicians for Human Rights. The Israeli organizations join Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UN human rights experts, and the overwhelming majority of leading authorities on the subject of genocide in their conclusion.  The debate is over. The Israel apologists lost. And we are seeing this reflected in mainstream...

When the Bully Bluff Blows

When the Bully Bluff Blows

by | Jul 29, 2025 |

The United States wielded near-total hegemony from at least the early 1990s to 2014 or so, at which point the first big irreversible cracks began to form. Russia took back Crimea, and took the Donbass under its wing. China began to methodically divest itself of US IOUs. Those acts of defiance threw down the gauntlet, serving notice not only to the masters of empire, but to lesser powers around the globe who were sick and tired of being pushed around and pillaged by the saphead American cowboys...

One photo just confronted every American with a question they cannot escape

by | Jul 28, 2025 |

A child's hollow eyes stare back from your screen. His name is Mohammad Al-Motawaq, and he is dying of starvation. And those who see it will never be the same. "Behold, we did not know this" In a tent by the Mediterranean Sea, 30-year-old widow Hidaya Al-Motawaq cradles what remains of her 18-month-old son.¹ https://twitter.com/Medo198518/status/1949090160320131332 As NPR's Anas Baba reported, Mohammad "is a year and a half old and nearly all bone. His eyes protrude, as does his swollen...

Militarized Law Enforcement Reaches a New Level under Trump

Militarized Law Enforcement Reaches a New Level under Trump

by | Jul 28, 2025 |

Law enforcement in the United States has exhibited an exceptional degree of harshness, if not outright brutality, during the initial months of Donald Trump’s second term in the White House.  A majority of the most flagrant examples have involved enforcement actions by the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division.  Numerous stories have appeared in the news media about ICE agents appearing at workplaces and schools to...

Here’s What Gabbard’s Russiagate Report Missed

Here’s What Gabbard’s Russiagate Report Missed

by | Jul 28, 2025 |

"An easing of tensions and improved relations with Russia -- from a position of strength -- is possible. Common sense says this cycle of hostility must end." Candidate Donald Trump said that on April 27, 2016. At first glance that might sound rather irrelevant to Gabbard's Russiagate revelations. But let me connect the dots for you.The first point is that Russiagate has inflamed US-Russia tensions. That action actually had a number of beneficiaries. Their interests would be harmed by Trump's...
