CIA/NYT Remove North Korean Troops From Ukraine’s Front Line

CIA/NYT Remove North Korean Troops From Ukraine’s Front Line

by | Feb 1, 2025 |

After three months of intense propaganda the CIA decided to bury an Ukrainian disinformation scheme and announced to 'pull North Korean troops off the front line'. Well. How did North Koreans get to the front line in the first place? On October 14 the former president of Ukraine Vladimir Zelinski initiated an information-operation designed to increase support for Ukraine. He alleged, without evidence, that Russia planned to involve North Korea into the war. U.S....

Trump Issues Executive Order Aimed At Deporting Anti-Israel Protesters

Trump Issues Executive Order Aimed At Deporting Anti-Israel Protesters

by | Jan 31, 2025 |

Last spring, a wave of protests across college campuses nationwide against Israel's war in Gaza became the focal point of the growing cultural schism further dividing American society. The dichotomy between supporters and opponents of those protests immediately parlayed into the 2024 election cycle, with rightwing politicians seizing upon the opportunity to use the chaos in order to chip away at the crumbling foundation that the Biden administration's re-election hopes rested...

NATO: The Case To Get Out Now

NATO: The Case To Get Out Now

by | Jan 31, 2025 |

The case for getting out of NATO now encompasses four fundamental propositions: First, the Federal budget has become a self-fueling fiscal doomsday machine, even as the Fed has run out of capacity to monetize the skyrocketing public debt. Second, the only viable starting point for fiscal salvation is slashing the nation’s elephantine Warfare State by at least $500 billion per year. Third, the route to that end is a return to the “no entangling alliance” wisdom of the Founders, which means...

The Rise of the Immortal Dictator: What Will AI Mean for Freedom and Government?

The Rise of the Immortal Dictator: What Will AI Mean for Freedom and Government?

by | Jan 30, 2025 |

“At least when there’s an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI, there would be no death. It would live forever. And then you’d have an immortal dictator from which we can never escape.”—Elon Musk (2018) Get ready for Surveillance State 2.0. To achieve this turbocharged surveillance state, the government is turning to its most powerful weapon yet: artificial intelligence. AI, with its ability to learn, adapt, and operate at speeds unimaginable to humans, is poised...

A Republic of Spies

A Republic of Spies

by | Jan 30, 2025 |

In 2021, to his credit, President Joe Biden warned the American public against the dangers of zero-click spyware manufactured by an Israeli corporation. Zero-click is unwanted software that can expose the entire contents of one’s mobile or desktop device to prying eyes without tricking one into clicking on to a link. Biden banned its importation and use in the United States. Last week, as an inducement to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept the Israel/Hamas ceasefire agreement,...

No, Joe Biden Did Not Slip In Murder Sentence Commutations with his Drug Sentence Commutations.

No, Joe Biden Did Not Slip In Murder Sentence Commutations with his Drug Sentence Commutations.

by | Jan 30, 2025 |

On January 17, three days before the end of his term as United States president, Joe Biden announced he was commuting the sentences of almost 2,500 people who had been convicted of nonviolent drug offenses. In response, some people have suggested that included in these commutations were commutations for murder convictions. This suggestion is deceptive. As reported on January 17 by Bill Weissert at the Associated Press, Biden commented that he took the action because he was seeking to undo...

President Trump Gave A Positive, Hopeful Inaugural Address

President Trump Gave A Positive, Hopeful Inaugural Address

by | Jan 29, 2025 |

It was entirely predictable and at times almost humorous to see the sour, partisan reaction by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and some in the national media to President Trump’s inaugural address last week. It was obvious that Biden, Harris and Mrs. Clinton are still bitter over Trump’s two victories and it seemed very painful for them to have to listen to him advocate so many things that are so popular with the majority of the American people. Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) said the...

Will There Be a Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine?

Will There Be a Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine?

by | Jan 29, 2025 |

One of the earliest points to become apparent about Donald Trump’s second term as president is that there is a significant difference in foreign policy priorities and a vast change in style from his predecessors over the past 8 or 9 decades.  Blather about the United States promoting or defending democracy around the world has already faded with the onset of the new administration.  That change is just as well, since more often than not, such rhetoric merely served as a cover...

Is Trump Positioning for a “No-Deal” with Russia – or Not?

Is Trump Positioning for a “No-Deal” with Russia – or Not?

by | Jan 28, 2025 |

Trump’s rhetoric about Russia having lost one million men in the Ukraine conflict is not just nonsense (the real number not even reaching 100,000), but his resort to it underlines that the usual meme of Trump being just woefully misinformed is looking less and less plausible. After touting the one million Russian deaths, Trump then suggests that Putin is destroying Russia by not making a deal. Adding (seemingly as an aside), that Putin may have already made up his mind “not to make a deal.”...

The Big Freeze at HHS, CDC, and NIH

The Big Freeze at HHS, CDC, and NIH

by | Jan 28, 2025 |

Part of the sweep of government in the first days of the Trump administration has been a freeze on communications. The explosion has hit the whole of public health bureaucracies, which Trump personally blames in part for the meltdown of his previous term of president in his last year. The pause in operations is designed to figure out exactly what is going on.  It is certainly not the case that Donald Trump wants you to die, contrary to Paul Krugman’s claim. No longer writing at...

The CIA Report: Why a Low Confidence Finding is the Height of Hypocrisy

The CIA Report: Why a Low Confidence Finding is the Height of Hypocrisy

by | Jan 27, 2025 |

Every modern president seems to promise transparency during their campaigns, but few ever seem to get around to it. Once in power, the value of being opaque becomes evident. We will have to wait to see if President Donald Trump will fulfill his pledges, but so far this is proving the cellophane administration. Putting aside his constant press gaggles and conferences, the Administration has ordered wholesale disclosures of long-withheld files from everything from the JFK investigation to, most...

To Make America Great Again, Separate Money and State

To Make America Great Again, Separate Money and State

by | Jan 27, 2025 |

“Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of-Living Crisis” is the title of one of the many executive orders President Trump issued in his first week back in the Oval Office. This executive order directs federal agencies to “deliver emergency price relief” to the American people by reducing federal regulations that increase the cost or limit the supply of healthcare, housing, energy, and other goods and services. Repealing regulations is an effective way...

Did Trump Halt Aid to Ukraine?

Did Trump Halt Aid to Ukraine?

by | Jan 25, 2025 |

Yesterday, there were a number of “headlines” in the US media claiming all foreign aid was stopped—except for Israel and Egypt. But the Pentagon weighed in today denying that it affects Ukraine: “A Pentagon official confirmed that Trump’s executive order freezing foreign aid applies only to development programs, not security assistance to Ukraine.” -VOA When I spoke with Judge Napolitano and Nima today, I had not seen these reports. However, while Trump’s order does not curtail security...

Saved from the Terror of TikTok

Thank goodness that our heroes in Congress and the Supreme Court have courageously acted to end the scourge of that nefarious Red Chinese conspiracy, TikTok. This evil computer program was designed to mesmerize, corrupt and mislead America’s youth. Not since the wickedness of Dr. Fu Manchu have we seen such a grave threat to the American Republic or Free World. Our children are becoming little Manchurian Candidates thanks to the sinister mind-benders at TikTok. The Yellow plague is upon us –...

Russian Casualties and the Russian Economy — A Memo for President Donald Trump

Russian Casualties and the Russian Economy — A Memo for President Donald Trump

by | Jan 24, 2025 |

Mr. President, I believe that the CIA is providing you inaccurate, false intelligence about Russia’s casualties and the condition of its economy. If you hope to realize your goal of opening negotiations with President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, you must be equipped with the best information available. You have been briefed that Russia has suffered devastating losses — as many as 800,000 casualties — and that Russia’s economy is weak and fragile. Data from open...

Thunder and Blunder on Day One

by | Jan 23, 2025 |

Well, the Donald surely did hit the ground thundering, and some right good noise it was— starting with the 1500 + pardons of the J6 offenders. That promise-kept was crucial because it was one big presidential middle finger rebuke to the Giant Lie that the Washington establishment and MSM have been egregiously peddling for the last four years. For crying out loud, it wasn’t an “insurrection” and did not threaten American democracy even a teensy tiny bit. Instead, the January 6th brouhaha was a...
