Disinformation Isn’t the Problem. Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

Disinformation Isn’t the Problem. Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

by | Oct 9, 2024 |

In a perfect example of the Nanny State mindset at work, Hillary Clinton insists that the powers-that-be need “total control” in order to make the internet a safer place for users and protect us harm. Clinton is not alone in her distaste for unregulated, free speech online. A bipartisan chorus that includes both presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump has long clamored to weaken or do away with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which essentially...

Perfidy in Tehran

Perfidy in Tehran

by | Oct 8, 2024 |

John Kerry, just last week at the World Economic Forum, so clearly blurting out the truth: “Our First Amendment stands as a major block to our ability to be able to hammer [disinformation] out of existence.” Translated: Governing is all about narrative control. Kerry articulates the “International Order’s” solution to the unwelcome phenomenon of an uncontrolled populism and of a potential leader who speaks for the people: Simply, “freedom to speak” is unacceptable to the prescriptions agreed...

Let Me Be Clear

We can learn a lot from the knuckleheads, airheads and sociopaths of death and slavery in Washington, and among US allies. We are told by the federal state that Governor “knucklehead” Walz, Vice President Kamala “airhead” Harris, and “mass murderer” Netanyahu are patriots, friends and supporters of Americans.  What we can learn from these “patriots?” From Timmy Walz, we learn that urban riots, and destruction of communities and businesses can be excellent, as long as you can watch...

Our Official Enemies

Whenever I see the vehement anti-Russia sentiment that pervades American society, I can’t help but think about Muhammad Ali. After Ali announced that he would not comply with the U.S. government’s draft notice, which almost certainly would have meant that he would have been sent to Vietnam to kill Vietcong, Ali stated, “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Vietcong.” Oh boy, his refusal to comply with the draft was bad enough, but to announce that he had no quarrel with a group that the U.S....

Old Lies Behind Israel’s War Live On in Senate Resolution

Old Lies Behind Israel’s War Live On in Senate Resolution

by | Oct 7, 2024 |

We are now a year into the Israel government’s military action devastating the people and infrastructure of Gaza and since expanded into escalating violence against countries including Lebanon and Iran. Yet, even today, United States Senate members are repeating flagrant lies produced in the war’s early days to trick Americans and others around the world into supporting Israel’s war. On Monday, Republican US Senators introduced a resolution repeating some of these old lies that helped build...

American Neocons Get Their Iran War as Congress Sleeps

American Neocons Get Their Iran War as Congress Sleeps

by | Oct 7, 2024 |

Over the weekend, the Commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), General Michael Kurilla, arrived in Israel to “coordinate” with the Israeli military and plan a military strike against Iran. Think about that for a moment: one of the highest-ranking officers in the US military is planning a war in a foreign country against another foreign country which will be fueled by American weapons, American intelligence, and American tax dollars. Did that foreign country – Iran – attack the United...

‘We Lose Total Control’: Clinton Continues Her Censorship Campaign on CNN

‘We Lose Total Control’: Clinton Continues Her Censorship Campaign on CNN

by | Oct 7, 2024 |

Hillary Clinton is continuing her global efforts to get countries, including the United States, to crackdown on opposing views. Clinton went on CNN to lament the continued resistance to censorship and to call upon Congress to limit free speech. In pushing her latest book, “Something Lost and Something Gained,” Clinton amplified on her warnings about the dangers of free speech. What is clear is that the gain of greater power for leaders like Clinton would be the loss of free speech for ordinary...

Blinken Approved Policy to Bomb Aid Trucks, Israeli Cabinet Members Suggest

Blinken Approved Policy to Bomb Aid Trucks, Israeli Cabinet Members Suggest

by | Oct 7, 2024 |

From the very beginning of Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had his hands on the steering wheel. After October 7, Blinken was the first senior U.S. official to arrive in Israel, on October 11. "I'm going with a very simple and clear message... that the United States has Israel's back," Blinken reportedly said before boarding the plane.  He returned again days later. This time, Blinken was there to demand that Israel rethink its decision...

Julian Assange Describes a Dangerous Tendency in Government

Julian Assange Describes a Dangerous Tendency in Government

by | Oct 5, 2024 |

On Thursday, I wrote about the testimony of Julian Assange of WikiLeaks at a Tuesday meeting of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). Assange’s testimony provided an informative overview of his persecution for helping expose disturbing government secrets. In his testimony, Assange stepped back at times from the particulars of his story to address broader issues related to government that are important for proponents of...

Biden Is Pushing Israel Towards Larger War

Biden Is Pushing Israel Towards Larger War

by | Oct 4, 2024 |

After being hit by some 200 Iranian missiles Israel has not yet dared to response to to the strike. It instead has launched new air attacks into the center of Beirut and its southern area known as Dahiyeh (which simply means suburb) with its predominantly Shia population. Israel seems to have forgotten what attacks on Dahiyeh mean: Hizbullah asserts that it has established a new deterrence equation: an Israeli attack on the al-Dahieh neighborhood in Beirut will be met with a...

Sabrina Carpenter has been a star since she was 12, staring on Disney’s Girl Meets World. Now she’s a singer and, I’ve heard, she has broken records set by the Beatles. She’s recorded a catchy cover of Nancy Sinatra‘s 1965 hit “These Boots Are Made For Walking.”   ”I want to feel as confident as humanly possible so I can be up there and not worry about what I’m doing,” Carpenter says. “It helps me perform better.” She ended up donning custom Swarovski-crystal...

No, It’s Not Time to Ban Sports Gambling Again

No, It’s Not Time to Ban Sports Gambling Again

Writing for The Atlantic, Charles Fain Lehman claims that legalizing sports gambling was a huge mistake. “If you follow sports, gambling is everywhere. Ads for it are all over broadcasts; more than one in three Americans now bets on sports,” he laments. Lehman, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, gets his history right if nothing else: Before 2018, sports gambling was prohibited almost everywhere. Now it’s legal in 38 states and the District of Columbia, yielding $10 billion a year in...

“Oh, what a tangled web we weaveWhen first we practice to deceive.”--Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) The case of the Gitmo plea agreement keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. A few weeks ago, we learned that a plea agreement had been entered into by way of a signed contract between the retired general in the Pentagon who is supervising all Gitmo prosecutions, the Gitmo defendants and defense counsel, and the military prosecutors. The agreement, as we understand it from sources who have seen it,...

“You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”—Bob Dylan A water main breaks every two minutes somewhere in the U.S., resulting in contaminated drinking supplies and boil water notices. One out of three bridges in the U.S. needs repair, endangering hundreds of millions of commuters. More than 42,000 bridges across the country, carrying about 167 million vehicles each day, are in disrepair. It is estimated that 300 million people could face power...

The US Privately Encouraged Israel To Escalate in Lebanon

by | Oct 2, 2024 |

POLITICO reported on Monday that despite the Biden administration’s public calls for a ceasefire in Lebanon, White House officials privately told Israeli officials that they agreed with the plan to escalate in Lebanon and shift its focus to the north. The report, which cited US and Israeli officials, said the message was delivered by Brett McGurk, the top Middle East official on the National Security Council, and Amos Hochstein, an Israeli-born veteran of the Israeli Defense Forces...

Will the Suffocating Cage of Leviathan be Avoided?

As the ousted “Emperor,” Biden made his “final walk” from the dias at the UN, he was not the Emperor of yore, brimming with the bravura that the U.S. is back, and “I’m running the world.” For as the Middle East explodes, and the Ukrainian bubble deflates, the White House continues to urge restraint on all parties to dial back the violence. But no one is listening. With his era stumbling to an inglorious close, Biden may have loved the idea of pulling the levers of coercive soft-power...
