Donald’s Fourth: Sherman Tanks and Other Death Machines

Donald’s Fourth: Sherman Tanks and Other Death Machines

Once upon a time, the Fourth of July was about liberty and the Declaration of Independence. Now it’s about grilled burgers, beer, and fireworks made in China. For President Trump, the upcoming “holiday” is about showing off the latest death merchant gizmos, including fighter jets and tanks. Trump said this week's #July4th celebration will feature brand new tanks and "the best fighter jets in the world.""Gotta be pretty careful with the tanks because the roads have a tendency not to like to...

SHOCKER: Charles Koch and George Soros to Team Up and Form Foreign Policy Institute

SHOCKER: Charles Koch and George Soros to Team Up and Form Foreign Policy Institute

George Soros and Charles Koch are joining to finance a new foreign-policy think tank in Washington D.C., reports the Boston Globe. The claim is that it will promote an approach to the world based on diplomacy and restraint rather than threats, sanctions, and bombing. It will be called the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, an homage to John Quincy Adams, who in a seminal speech on Independence Day in 1821 declared that the United States “goes not abroad in search of monsters to...

US Government Tops All for Creating Refugees

US Government Tops All for Creating Refugees

On June 19th, Statistica headlined “Number of forcibly displaced people reaches new high”, and when one looks at the data, one finds an even bigger story which stands behind those numbers:This new report from the United Nations documents Statistica’s headline, and it proves that America’s regime-change operations have actually created around half of the world’s refugees. It proves that America’s penchant for invading and trying to overthrow the governments that its billionaires want to replace...

Media and Politicians Ignore Oncoming Financial Crisis

Media and Politicians Ignore Oncoming Financial Crisis

The mainstream media was too busy obsessing over Russiagate to notice that, according to an annual Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees report, the Social Security trust fund will run out of money by 2035. The trustees also reported that the Medicare Hospital Insurance trust fund will be empty by 2027.The trustees’ report is actually optimistic. Social Security is completely funded, and Medicare is largely funded, by payroll taxes. Therefore, their revenue fluctuates depending on...

Washington’s Infatuation with the MEK

Washington’s Infatuation with the MEK

Inarguably, Washington has a long history of supporting terrorists. As General William Odom, President Reagan’s former National Security Agency (NSA) Director wrote in his 2007 article “American Hegemony, How to Use It, How to Lose It”: “[T]errorism is not an enemy. It is a tactic. Because the United States itself has a long record of supporting terrorists and using terrorist tactics…”. Despite this long-standing use of tactic, there is no record of terrorists operating but a stone’s throw...

Bullies Like Me

Bullies Like Me

Harvard revoked a Parkland student’s admission, a survivor kid who supported the Second Amendment. Two former Central Park 5 prosecutors lost their jobs 30 years after the case, because of a Netflix movie released last week called “When They See Us.” By the time you read this, the Left will have forced another voice off Twitter, and bullied another small business for offending their rules on gender and cake. I learned about bullying in a small Ohio high school you never heard of, both by being...

How Sen. Rick Scott Became Big Oil’s Point Man on Venezuelan Regime Change

How Sen. Rick Scott Became Big Oil’s Point Man on Venezuelan Regime Change

While National Security Advisor John Bolton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio have helped drive the Trump administration’s maximum pressure-style campaign against Venezuela, Rubio’s counterpart, Senator Rick Scott, has been every bit as fanatical about regime change in Caracas. Speaking to a packed house of former government officials, oil executives, and lobbyists at a June 20th Atlantic Council event entitled “Russian Influence in Venezuela: What Should the...

Problems Arise with Washington’s Latest ‘Color Revolution’ in Hong Kong

Problems Arise with Washington’s Latest ‘Color Revolution’ in Hong Kong

The Western media has been boasting over recent protests in Hong Kong. Western headlines have claimed the protests have “rattled” Beijing’s leadership. The protests have been organized to obstruct Hong Kong’s elected government from moving forward with an extradition bill. The bill would further integrate Hong Kong’s legal system with that of mainland China’s, allowing suspects to be sent to the mainland, Taiwan, or Macau to face justice for crimes committed anywhere in Chinese territory. The...

Demasking the Torture of Julian Assange

Demasking the Torture of Julian Assange

I know, you may think I am deluded. How could life in an Embassy with a cat and a skateboard ever amount to torture? That’s exactly what I thought, too, when Assange first appealed to my office for protection. Like most of the public, I had been subconsciously poisoned by the relentless smear campaign, which had been disseminated over the years. So it took a second knock on my door to get my reluctant attention. But once I looked into the facts of this case, what I found filled me with...

Have You Heard of the CIA’s Iran Mission Center?

Have You Heard of the CIA’s Iran Mission Center?

In 2017, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) created a special unit—the Iran Mission Center—to focus attention on the U.S. plans against Iran. The initiative for this unit came from CIA director John Brennan, who left his post as the Trump administration came into office. Brennan believed that the CIA needed to focus attention on what the United States sees as problem areas—North Korea and Iran, for instance. This predated the Trump administration.Brennan’s successor—Mike Pompeo, who...

Why the State Department Let a Terrorist Cult Gather on its Doorstep

Why the State Department Let a Terrorist Cult Gather on its Doorstep

Watching the Trump administration’s push for war with Iran, news consumers may find it hard to be surprised by the lengths the US government is willing to go to in order to instigate war — or regime change at the very least — against the Islamic Republic. US citizens have been treated to lengthy lectures by the mainstream media, which laments the loss of an unmanned drone and a targeted Japanese oil tanker whose owner disputes Washington’s version of events. Yet, it isn’t the Trump...

The Donald’s Latest Iranian Caper – Sh*t-Faced Stupidity

The Donald’s Latest Iranian Caper – Sh*t-Faced Stupidity

This is just wanton sh*t-faced stupidity. We are referring to the Trump Administration’s escalation of sanctions on Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei and its foreign minister, and then the Donald’s tweet-storm of bluster, threats and implicit redlines when they didn’t take too kindly to this latest act of aggression by Washington. That last point can’t be emphasized enough. Iran is zero threat to the American homeland and has never engaged in any hostile action on U.S soil or even threatened the same....
