Joe Biden Allowed His Friend Bibi to Destroy His Presidency and Legacy

Joe Biden Allowed His Friend Bibi to Destroy His Presidency and Legacy

by | Oct 23, 2024 |

In 2020, amid lockdowns, Joe Biden prevailed in the election, running his campaign from his home. Biden was clearly experiencing significant cognitive decline, so the American people were presented with a carefully choreographed message that a vote for Biden was a return to normalcy. Since Donald Trump descended the golden escalator, Americans have been subject to a non-stop barrage from establishment media and politicians wailing that we are in an existential battle for our country's soul. We...

India and China Declare Truce — a Lesson in Diplomacy for the West

Ahead of the BRICS summit in Russia, India and China announced an end to the four-year military standoff between the two countries along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh. The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping will have their first official bilateral meeting in five years! India and China have reached an agreement on patrolling arrangements along the LAC and the border areas. This has led to a disengagement and resolution of the issues that...

The Draft Is Antithetical to Liberty, Even if It Is Never Used

Fall may finally have arrived in DC, but one discussion that never seems out of season is pontificating on a need for a return of military conscription. While the leaves may have turned, the substance of the case from those who advocate for conscription remains the same: blending arguments of geopolitical necessity and socio-cultural improvement, arguing that such an institution “would contribute to maintaining the integrity of our domestic political life.” As radical as such an idea...

The Neo-Liberal Consensus Is Coming Apart

The Neo-Liberal Consensus Is Coming Apart

by | Oct 22, 2024 |

The global Covid response was the turning point in public trust, economic vitality, citizen health, free speech, literacy, religious and travel freedom, elite credibility, demographic longevity, and so much more. Now five years following the initial spread of the virus that provoked the largest-scale despotisms of our lives, something else seems to be biting the dust: the postwar neo-liberal consensus itself.  The world as we knew it only a decade ago is on fire, precisely as Henry...

The Danger Is Real: The Deep State’s Plot to Destabilize the Nation Is Working

The Danger Is Real: The Deep State’s Plot to Destabilize the Nation Is Working

by | Oct 22, 2024 |

If the three-ring circus that is the looming presidential election proves anything, it is that the Deep State’s plot to destabilize the nation is working. The danger is real. Caught up in the heavily dramatized electoral showdown between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Americans have become oblivious to the multitude of ways in which the government is goosestepping all over our freedoms on a daily basis. Especially alarming is the extent to which those on both sides are allowing...

Neocons Circling a Surging Trump…Will He Bite?

Neocons Circling a Surging Trump…Will He Bite?

by | Oct 21, 2024 |

Weekend news that "Neocon Nikki" Haley is in talks to hit the campaign trail for Donald Trump should raise red flags to everyone cautiously optimistic that Trump 2.0 will avoid some of the personnel disasters that Trump 1.0 fell into time and time again. Haley was nicknamed "birdbrain" by Trump in the primaries and he swore that anyone supporting her campaign would be "permanently barred" from Trump's MAGA camp. For her part, Haley accused Trump of being "unhinged," "just toxic," and "lacking...

Why Should We Fight Wars for Ukraine and Israel?

Why Should We Fight Wars for Ukraine and Israel?

by | Oct 21, 2024 |

When you take on the role of the world’s policeman, don’t be surprised when countries who cannot fight their own wars call “911.” That is exactly what is happening to the United States on two fronts and it is bankrupting our country, depleting the military that should serve our own national interest, and threatening to drag the US into World War III. Last week, Ukraine’s “president” Vladimir Zelensky publicly presented his “Victory Plan.” It was delusional: immediate NATO Membership for...

Ukraine – Threat Of North Korean Soldiers Is Based on US Info Campaign

Ukraine – Threat Of North Korean Soldiers Is Based on US Info Campaign

by | Oct 19, 2024 |

Earlier this week I pointed to a Ukrainian (South Korean, US) propaganda campaign which claims that thousands of North Korean soldiers will soon fight with on the Russian side against Ukraine: To have North Koreans fighting in Russia against the Ukrainian incursion in Kursk would make little sense. That incursion is for one already mostly defeated. Besides that the language and cultural problems would make the integration of such forces into Russian military operations nearly impossible. I am...

Kamala Harris Sounds Like Forrest Gump’s Friend Bubba in Effort to Run Out the Clock in Difficult Interview

Kamala Harris Sounds Like Forrest Gump’s Friend Bubba in Effort to Run Out the Clock in Difficult Interview

by | Oct 18, 2024 |

Kamala Harris, notorious for avoiding anything but the friendliest interviews during her truncated presidential campaign, found herself in a pickle in her Wednesday interview with Bret Baier at Fox News. Baier was asking questions Harris did not want to answer and then following up on them in response to Harris’s evasive replies. What to do? Harris decided to employ, among other strategies, one that brings to mind a scene from the movie Forrest Gump. When Forrest Gump, whose life is the focus...

Beware of War Hawks in ‘America First’ Clothing

Beware of War Hawks in ‘America First’ Clothing

by | Oct 18, 2024 |

For the past eight years, the two major political parties have been gripped by a messy and ongoing realignment. It began with the election of Donald Trump in 2016, which was a major repudiation of the neoconservative-establishment coalition that had dominated the Republican Party since the presidency of George W. Bush. Trump’s condemnation of the war in Iraq—which he correctly said was sold on lies—and his skepticism of continuing to fund radical Islamists in a misguided attempt to overthrow...

Who Cares What the Government Thinks?

Who Cares What the Government Thinks?

by | Oct 17, 2024 |

In 1791, when Congressman James Madison was drafting the first 10 amendments to the Constitution -- which would become known as the Bill of Rights -- he insisted that the most prominent amendment among them restrain the government from interfering with the freedom of speech. After various versions of the First Amendment had been drafted and debated, the committee that he chaired settled on the iconic language: “Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech.” Madison insisted...

Netanyahu’s Likud Organizes Event Promoting Israel’s Post-War Resettlement Of Gaza

by | Oct 17, 2024 |

Since October 7th, 2023, Israel's war that initially began as a response to attacks led by Hamas has mutated into a larger conflict that has brought the same carnage to Lebanon and increased hostilities with Iran. As the stability of the region continues to deteriorate with mass civilian casualties at the hands of the IDF becoming all but a daily occurrence, questions have arisen about what the true endgame of the Netanyahu regime is. While Israel's wartime government has maintained its...

Brace Yourselves: A Tsunami Approaches

Brace Yourselves: A Tsunami Approaches

by | Oct 16, 2024 |

Brace yourself: a tsunami approaches. While we squabble over which side is winning this losing battle to lead the country, there is something being concocted in the dens of power, far beyond the public eye, and it doesn’t bode well for the future of this country. Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by the antics of the political ruling class that they are oblivious to all else, you’d better beware. Anytime you have a government that operates in the shadows, speaks in a language of...

THAAD Ain’t So Good

THAAD Ain’t So Good

by | Oct 16, 2024 |

Some of you know how my mind works. When I hear the word, “THAAD,” my brain immediately registers a Porky Pig voice saying, “THAAD’s All Folks.” THAAD is the acronym for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense. It is essentially a large bullet that is supposed to strike an in-bound missile and break it up. It is a kinetic weapon, i.e., it does not explode. So Israel, who claims (mistakenly) to have the best air-defense system in the world, now wants the THAAD. If you got the best, why do you...

US Threatens Israel With Arms Embargo As Evidence Of War Crimes Becomes Impossible to Deny

by | Oct 16, 2024 |

For as long as Joe Biden has been in politics, he's kept his hand in the pockets of the Israel lobby. As president, the man who once declared that "you don't have to be Jewish to be a Zionist" has practiced what he has preached by providing Israel with a whopping $17.9 billion dollars in military aid since the outbreak of the war in Gaza. Although Biden has continued his staunch support of Israel, the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza has brought pause to his the core...

Cut the Truth Out of Our Heads

Cut the Truth Out of Our Heads

by | Oct 15, 2024 |

The censors are losing patience. They have gone from regretting the existence of free speech and gaming the system as best they can to fantasizing about ending it through criminal penalties.  You can observe this change in temperament – from frustration to fury to calling for violent solutions – over the last several weeks. And it serves as a reminder: censorship was never the end point. It was always about controlling society’s “cognitive infrastructure,” which is how we think. And to...
