'I Didn’t Know Anything': Former Obama Official Criticized After Classified Testimony Contradicts Her Public Statements

YouTube ScreenshotThe long-delayed release of testimony from the House Intelligence Committee has proved embarrassing for a variety of former Obama officials who have been extensively quoted on the allegedly strong evidence of collusion by the Trump campaign and the Russians.  Figures like James Clapper, who is a CNN expert, long indicated hat the evidence from the Obama Administration was strong and alarming. However, in testimony, Clapper denied seeing any such evidence. One of the most...

COVID-19 Puts Spotlight on Science — but Scientists Often Lie

COVID-19 Puts Spotlight on Science — but Scientists Often Lie

We can beat COVID-19 — just trust the science, we’re told. Trust in the scientists, we’re told. And that’s not a paraphrase. “From the Editors: We Can Beat COVID-19. Just Trust Science,” Wired wrote. Well and good. Fine and dandy. But fact is, scientists often lie. Science isn’t always the beacon toward truth. It’s not just frequently flawed; it’s frequently deceptive. And purposely so. So tossing citizens’ civil rights into the sea and allowing medical professionals and scientists to steer...

Authoritarians Using Coronavirus Fear to Destroy America

A Fresno, California waffle restaurant dared to open its doors for business this weekend to the delight of a long line of customers, who waited up to two hours for the “privilege” of willingly spending their money in a business happy to serve them breakfast on Mother’s Day. This freedom of voluntary transaction is the core of what we used to call our free society. But in an America paralyzed by fear – ramped up by a mainstream media that churns out propaganda at a level unparalleled in history...

Don’t Be so Scared by Media Reports about there being Many New Coronavirus Cases

Media reports are relating that there have been in the last few days many new coronavirus cases in America, or in certain areas of the county. The reports often suggest that this is something about which people should be fearful. However, a high number of reported coronavirus cases does not provide as much reason for worry as many people presume. A Wednesday New York Times editorial by Nathaniel Lash discusses the amount of coronavirus cases reported over time countrywide and in particular...

US policy on Venezuela lacks meaningful direction – American mercenaries’ involvement in failed coup against Maduro is more proof

An abortive coup attempt with US ties exposes a lack of leadership and direction as the Trump administration struggles to implement its regime-change plans in Venezuela. The headlines read like something out of a bad novel: a bunch of commandos, operating from speedboats launched from a “mother ship” disguised as a fishing vessel, land on a heavily populated resort coast in Venezuela to initiate a coup designed to overthrow President Nicolas Maduro. Expecting to be greeted by defectors from...

The Justice Department Drops Flynn Case

Over a week ago, I wrote a column calling for the Justice Department to drop its case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. I have long been a critic of the case but the new evidence undermined not just the legitimacy of the prosecution but of the Justice Department itself. The Justice Department just moved to dismiss the case, a belated but commendable decision. The Flynn case represents one of the most ignoble chapters of the Special Counsel investigation. Notably, the...

COVID-19 bringing devastating groupthink consequences

The most damaging and lasting effects of COVID-19 on America won’t be so much ones of physical or medical as they will be mental. How so? Where Americans once thought for themselves, the government has taken control. Where Americans once decided on their own, bureaucrats have seized the reins. What’s worse is the government has successfully turned those who want to think for themselves into Public Enemy Number One. Don’t want shut down your business, live off the taxpayer-funded stimulus dime,...

America Is a Technocracy, Not a Democracy

Perhaps never before in American history have the unelected technocrats played such an enormous role in shaping public policy in America. In recent weeks, members of Congress have been missing in action. Late last month, the House of Representatives passed the biggest spending bill in history while most members were absent. Member votes were not recorded and the legislation was passed with a voice vote, which required only a tiny handful of members. Weeks later, the Senate refuses to even...

The 'Great Pandemic Of 1957' – And Why Nobody Remembers It

Remember when the whole country was on lockdown over a pandemic that killed nearly 120,000 Americans? No? Because although there WAS a pandemic that year and it DID kill that many Americans, there was no lockdown. The mainstream media urged people to remain calm. And it passed. So what's different this time? Plus - our take on the OUTRAGEOUS Dallas judge who sentenced a beauty salon owner to seven days in JAIL for daring to open her business to willing customers. Finally - Neil Ferguson's real...

Michael Flynn Did Not Lie, He Was Framed by The FBI

Two and one-half years ago, Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller unveiled charges against Michael Flynn for "lying to Federal agents." At the time I gave Mueller the benefit of the doubt and assumed, incorrectly, that the investigation was fair and honest. We now know without any doubt that the so-called investigation of Michael Flynn was frame-up. It was a punishment in search of a crime and ultimately led the FBI to manufacture a crime in order to take out Michael Flynn and damage the fledgling...

Past Crises Have Ratcheted Up Leviathan

COVID-19 has plunged the United States into a national emergency. Initial applications for unemployment insurance benefits increased from 211,000 in the first week of March to 6.6 million in the first week of April, to another 5.2 million in the second week of April, and another 4.4 million last week. Real GDP fell by hundreds of billions in the first quarter, with further—and larger—declines sure to follow. Another emergency has sprung not so much from the disease itself as from the reactions...

Politicians Have Destroyed Markets and Ignored Human Rights with Alarming Enthusiasm

Politicians Have Destroyed Markets and Ignored Human Rights with Alarming Enthusiasm

An economic cataclysm has been unleashed upon the world by Western politicians and bureaucrats. Unbelievably, economic activity in the West has slowed to a creep, as entire populations have been confined to their homes for weeks, if not months. As a result, millions have had their lives turned upside down. Most entrepreneurs and self-employed persons have had their livelihoods jeopardized. The EU economy may shrink by 5 percent according to the European Central Bank (ECB), and similar figures...

Technofascism: Digital Book Burning in a Totalitarian Age

Technofascism: Digital Book Burning in a Totalitarian Age

We are fast becoming a nation—nay, a world—of book burners. While on paper, we are technically free to speak—at least according to the US Constitution—in reality, however, we are only as free to speak as the government and its corporate partners such as Facebook, Google or YouTube may allow. That’s not a whole lot of freedom. Especially if you’re inclined to voice opinions that may be construed as conspiratorial or dangerous. Take David Icke, for example. Icke, a popular commentator and author...

OPCW Insiders Denounce Latest Syria Report

Over the past year, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has been quietly facing a crisis of credibility. The crisis started when whistleblowers within the organization shared information that contradicted the findings of an OPCW investigation into the April 2018 alleged chemical attack in Douma, Syria. Leaks and whistleblower testimony show the organization suppressed the findings of its experts to fit the narrative that the Syrian government was responsible for the...
