Washington’s Ukraine Obsession is Going to Get Us All Killed!

Washington’s Ukraine Obsession is Going to Get Us All Killed!

by | Sep 23, 2024 |

Last week the world narrowly escaped likely nuclear destruction, as the Biden Administration considered Ukraine’s request to allow US missiles to strike deeply into Russian territory. Russian president Vladimir Putin warned, as the request was being considered, that because these missiles could not be launched without the active participation of the US military and NATO, Russia would consider itself in a state of war with both NATO and the US should they be launched. It was a Cuban Missile...

The Second Trump Shooter Believed Exactly What the Establishment Media Wanted Him to Believe

On Sunday, for the second time this election cycle, a man was able to get close to Donald Trump with a rifle. The former president was golfing when Secret Service agents spotted a rifle barrel poking out of some bushes just off the course, near a hole Trump would soon play. Agents fired on the suspect, causing him to flee as Trump was rushed off the course. Shortly after, the man was apprehended by police. A scoped rifle, two backpacks, and a video camera were recovered from the...

When Vladimir Putin Was Pootie-Poot

When Vladimir Putin Was Pootie-Poot

by | Sep 20, 2024 |

United Sates President Joe Biden has spent most of his presidency refusing to talk with Russia President Vladimir Putin. This is despite — or maybe because of — the fact that such discourse could have led to an agreement ending the US government’s proxy war against Russia. Instead of talking out a resolution to the fighting, Biden has kept pumping dollars, weapons, and intelligence to the Ukraine government, resulting in a rising death toll and expanding war. Also advanced has been the risk of...

Selling War: How Raytheon and Boeing Fund the Push for NATO’s Nuclear Expansion

Selling War: How Raytheon and Boeing Fund the Push for NATO’s Nuclear Expansion

by | Sep 19, 2024 |

To “counter Russia’s nuclear blackmail,” the Atlantic Council confidently asserted, “NATO must adapt its nuclear sharing program.” This includes moving B-61 atomic bombs to Eastern Europe and building a network of medium-range missile bases across the continent. The think tank praised Washington’s recent decision to send Tomahawk and SM-6 missiles to Germany as a “good start” but insisted that it “does not impose a high enough price” on Russia. What the Atlantic Council does not divulge...

Gitmo and Politics

Gitmo and Politics

by | Sep 19, 2024 |

It is always dangerous to human freedom and due process when politics interferes with criminal prosecutions. Yet, present-day America is replete with tawdry examples of this. The recent exposures of the political machinations of the Chief Justice of the United States in the presidential immunity case is just one sad example of the highest judge in the land determined to change the law, even at the cost of sacrificing good jurisprudence; and this from a jurist who once promised the Senate that...

Don’t Trust the Government. Not with Your Privacy, Property or Your Freedoms

Don’t Trust the Government. Not with Your Privacy, Property or Your Freedoms

by | Sep 18, 2024 |

Public trust in the government to “do what is right” understandably remains at an all-time low. After all, how do you trust a government that continuously sidesteps the Constitution and undermines our rights? You can’t. When you consider all the ways “we the people” are being bullied, beaten, bamboozled, targeted, tracked, repressed, robbed, impoverished, imprisoned and killed by the government, one can only conclude that you shouldn’t trust the government with your privacy, your...

Two Years into His Drug War that Continues Today, Nixon Privately Stated that Marijuana is ‘Not Particularly Dangerous’

Two Years into His Drug War that Continues Today, Nixon Privately Stated that Marijuana is ‘Not Particularly Dangerous’

by | Sep 18, 2024 |

A newly reported on March of 1973 recording of a private conversation of then President Richard Nixon with some of his executive branch aides includes Nixon commenting that marijuana is “not particularly dangerous.” He also stated that penalties related to marijuana should be evaluated to make sure they are not too harsh. Nixon, as an example, described as “wrong” a Texas 10 year prison term for a marijuana offence. This private analysis is in sharp contrast to the language Nixon used about...

Israel is entering the next phase of its war on Palestine by completing its takeover of the Gaza Strip – from the northern border to the Netzarim corridor. It is likely that they intend for this area to then gradually be made available for Jewish settlement and annexation to Israel. In a piece titled, “Annexation, Expulsion and Israeli Settlements: Netanyahu Gears Up for Next Phase of Gaza War,” the Editor of Haaretz, Aluf Benn, writes, were the takeover to proceed, “Palestinian residents who...

Ukraine War Turns into Russian Roulette

The UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with the US President Joe Biden in the White House on Friday with the question of the use of long-range missiles by Ukraine to hit deep inside Russia on their agenda of conversation. But there were no announcements, nor was there any joint press conference. Starmer later told the media that the talks were “productive” but concentrated on “strategy” rather than a “particular step or tactic”. He did not signal any decision on allowing Kiev to fire...

Homeschooling is Still Gaining Popularity…Thanks to Woke ‘Educators’

by | Sep 16, 2024 |

One of the few areas where liberty made gains in the COVID lockdown era was the increase in homeschooling. Many parents started homeschooling out of frustration with the failure of “virtual learning” to provide children with a quality education. Other parents withdrew their children from government schools when virtual learning allowed them to discover how teachers and administrators were prioritizing political indoctrination over education. According to the John Hopkins University’s...

America the Unspeakable

America the Unspeakable

Some commentators who bothered to watch the Trump-Harris debate observed that both candidates adroitly maneuvered around saying anything that might be truly important. The issue of war and peace, meaning in this case nuclear war, appeared to be of no concern even though the Biden-Harris continuum and its British and French allies are reportedly considering allowing Ukraine to deploy NATO provided and possibly operated advanced missile systems that will enable devastating strikes deep...

Free Speech and the Department of Political Justice

by | Sep 12, 2024 |

In 1966, two famous Russian literary dissidents, Yuli Daniel and Andrei Sinyavsky, were tried and convicted on charges of disseminating propaganda against the Soviet state. The two were authors and humorists who published satire abroad that mocked Soviet leaders for failure to comply with the Soviet Constitution of 1936, which guaranteed the freedom of speech. Their convictions sparked international outrage. Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and then America’s U.N. ambassador, Arthur Goldberg...

Police Have the Right to Lie and Slander

Police Have the Right to Lie and Slander

by | Sep 12, 2024 |

To serve and protect, police are allowed to slander and destroy. Cops in many states and localities have acquired the right to lie about their shootings, searches, and practically anything else. Police have routinely planted drugs, guns, and other evidence to incriminate innocent people, while police labs have engaged in wholesale fraud blighting tens of thousands of lives. From a trickle to a torrent Supreme Court rulings turned a trickle of police perjury into a torrent. In 1967, the Supreme...

Tampa Trial on Free Speech Exposes US Hypocrisy

Tampa Trial on Free Speech Exposes US Hypocrisy

by | Sep 11, 2024 |

As I have written in my last two blog posts (here and here), the US government is prosecuting members of a small political group named the African People’s Socialist Party and its related “Uhuru” movement. The trial is taking place in US District Court in Tampa. The group has been advocating socialism and opposing US imperialism for around 50 years. The feds are prosecuting them as part of their anti-Russia crusade that US officials have been waging since even before the end of World...

‘Perceived Criticism’: CEO Katherine Mayer Defends NPR’s Coverage and Culture

by | Sep 11, 2024 |

National Public Radio has had a rough go in the last few years with declining audiences, financial shortfalls, and the recent exposure of its political bias by longtime editor Uri Berliner. However, if you tuned into the comments of NPR CEO Katherine Maher this week at the Texas Tribune Festival,  you would think that the only challenging decision for NPR is picking the design of the next pledge drive tote bag. Despite comments that were repeatedly evasive...
