John Kerry Says The Quiet Part Out Loud: ‘First Amendment Stands As Major Block’ To ‘Govern’

John Kerry Says The Quiet Part Out Loud: ‘First Amendment Stands As Major Block’ To ‘Govern’

by | Sep 29, 2024 |

The World Economic Forum held its 'Sustainable Development Impact Meetings' during last week's United Nations General Assembly in New York City. Speaking at the meeting, far-left elitist and former presidential climate envoy John Kerry expressed frustration to fellow globalists, stating that the First Amendment frequently obstructs their agenda.  "Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer...

Ukraine’s ‘Victory Plan’ Is Delusional

Ukraine’s ‘Victory Plan’ Is Delusional

by | Sep 28, 2024 |

n the past two years the western establishment media has effectively obscured the reality on the ground in Ukraine.  Only recently has it become clear to the public that the tales we've heard about Russia imploding due to "bad tactics" and "throwing bodies into the meat grinder" in exchange for irrelevant territory have all been a fantasy.  The problem is, propagandists often end up believing their own propaganda and then they are caught completely by surprise down the road when...

Will Lebanon be Next After Gaza?

Will Lebanon be Next After Gaza?

by | Sep 27, 2024 |

Few people know that Lebanon was once part of Syria. It was detached from Syria by Imperial France and made into a nominally Maronite Christian nation. Sunni Muslims, Shia Muslims and Druzes were also encompassed in this newly engineered country of 6 million. Then came 100,000 Palestinian refugees driven from their ancestral home in what is today Northern Israel. The admixture of these Palestinian refugees enflamed Lebanon’s traditional ferocious tribal rivalries. In 1975 they burst into major...

Trump Pushes Narrative That Iran Is Trying to Kill Him

Trump Pushes Narrative That Iran Is Trying to Kill Him

by | Sep 27, 2024 |

On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump pushed a narrative being spread by US intelligence officials that Iran is trying to kill him even though there’s no evidence of Iranian involvement in either attempt on his life. Trump’s campaign said they were briefed on the alleged Iranian threat by officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which is led by Avril Haines. “Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire US Military is watching and waiting....

Violating the Law to Provide War Aid to Israel

Violating the Law to Provide War Aid to Israel

by | Sep 26, 2024 |

In March, I wrote about eight United States Senate members sending a letter to President Joe Biden declaring that Section 6201 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 requires the termination of offensive military aid to the Israel government because the Israel government “prohibits or otherwise restricts, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian assistance.” This declaration seemed then and continues to seem now true to observers of the situation where...

A Brief History of Free Speech in America

A Brief History of Free Speech in America

by | Sep 26, 2024 |

“Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.”--First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution When James Madison agreed to be the scrivener at the Constitutional Convention during the summer of 1787, he could not have known that just four years later he’d be the chair of the House of Representatives committee drafting the Bill of Rights. In doing so, he insisted that the word “the” precede the phrase “freedom of speech” in what was to become the First Amendment,...

Hidden Agendas: Beware of the Government’s Push for a Digital Currency

Hidden Agendas: Beware of the Government’s Push for a Digital Currency

by | Sep 25, 2024 |

he government wants your money. It will beg, steal or borrow if necessary, but it wants your money any way it can get it. The government’s schemes to swindle, cheat, scam, and generally defraud taxpayers of their hard-earned dollars have run the gamut from wasteful pork barrel legislation, cronyism and graft to asset forfeiture, costly stimulus packages, and a national security complex that continues to undermine our freedoms while failing to making us any safer. Americans have also been made...

Zelensky’s Victory Plan is his Survival Kit

Zelensky’s Victory Plan is his Survival Kit

by | Sep 24, 2024 |

Strana, one of the top online newspapers in Ukraine, which is banned in Russia since 2022, reported on Friday that Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is planning to dismiss Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and the powerful military intelligence chief Gen. Kirill Budanov from their posts as part of his continuing purge of the military establishment in Kiev.  Umerov is a political lightweight and a non-military man by profession and may become the "fall guy", as the Ukrainian...

Will Israel ‘Recklessly’ seize the day? ‘Have the doors to a war without limits been opened?’

Will Israel ‘Recklessly’ seize the day? ‘Have the doors to a war without limits been opened?’

by | Sep 24, 2024 |

“After today [the day of the pager simultaneous explosions], there can be no talk about settlement and solutions,” writes Ibrahim Amine, Editor of Al-Akhbar, known for his close contacts with the Hizbullah leadership: In just one minute, the enemy succeeded in delivering its harshest blows to the body of the Islamic Resistance … [Furthermore] through yesterday’s operation, the enemy confirmed that it doesn’t want to abide by the rules of engagement. Have the doors to a war [then] been opened:...

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

by | Sep 20, 2024 |

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...
