Moldova: The Next Front in the West’s Confrontation With Russia?

Moldova: The Next Front in the West’s Confrontation With Russia?

by | Sep 26, 2025 |

Moldova’s September 28, 2025, parliamentary elections are shaping up to be another highly contentious struggle between pro-Russia and anti-Russia factions.  Both the European Union and Moscow also are accusing each other of illicit election meddling to put their respective Moldovan clients in power.  In many respects, the lead up to this election is reminiscent of the tense atmosphere and inflammatory accusations of the 2023 vote for parliament and the 2024 presidential election that...

How MI6 Fabricated Iran Nuke Fraud

How MI6 Fabricated Iran Nuke Fraud

by | Sep 25, 2025 |

On September 19th, the UN Security Council voted to reimpose savage economic restrictions on Iran over its nuclear program. European leaders have in recent months repeatedly accused Tehran of refusing to abide by the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action’s terms. A core, repeated claim is the Islamic Republic has collated a uranium stock over 40 times the level permitted under that deal. No supporting evidence for the charge has been provided, and the source of this...

Free Speech and Its Discontents

Free Speech and Its Discontents

by | Sep 25, 2025 |

“It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”-- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) “Congress shall make no law ...abridging the freedom of speech,or of the press ... ”-- First Amendment to the US Constitution The modern concept of the freedom of speech did not dawn until the Warren Court in the 1960s. In two cases, the Supreme Court ruled that there is no such thing as hate speech and the government may not do indirectly what...

War and Delusion

War and Delusion

by | Sep 25, 2025 |

In his latest post to TRUTH SOCIAL President Donald Trump claims that with more dollars, euros and missiles, Ukraine could still regain all its lost territory. President Trump’s statement is a mixture of sentiment and self-delusion, not strategy. Few wars in modern times have been wrapped in so many illusions as this one. The number of Ukrainian Soldiers killed in action (KIA) exceed 1.7. million. The numbers of wounded in action (WIA) are unknown, but anecdotal evidence suggests most of the...

Ignore Ukraine (Trump Is), Pay Attention to Venezuela

by | Sep 25, 2025 |

Trump’s Truth on Russia and Ukraine spread like a California wildfire across social media in the last 24 hours. Supporters of Ukraine were elated… at least initially. I got a nice shout out today from my friend, Alexander Mercouris, who agreed with my assessment that Trump’s Ukraine/Russia Truth was actually a piece of sophisticated sarcasm. But Alexander did a better job than me in explaining the nature of this sarcasm. So, back at you Alexander. Brother...

Top pro-Israel TPUSA donor terminated support for Kirk in days before death, sources say

Top pro-Israel TPUSA donor terminated support for Kirk in days before death, sources say

by | Sep 24, 2025 |

The Turning Point USA campus in Phoenix, Arizona is the house that Charlie Kirk built. Consisting of six sterile, two-floor office buildings, the campus is itself a tribute to the ultra-wealthy donors who placed the 31-year-old Kirk at the helm of a political empire whose combined annual assets exceeded the municipal budget of a typical small American city. At the front of the TPUSA complex is the Bill and Rebecca Dunn Freedom Center, named for the late commodity trader Bill Dunn....

Would Orwell Be Branded a Terrorist? The Government’s War on Thought Crime

Would Orwell Be Branded a Terrorist? The Government’s War on Thought Crime

by | Sep 24, 2025 |

The Trump administration is taking its war on free speech into the realm of thought crimes. This is more than politics. In declaring “Antifa”—a loose ideology based on opposition to fascism—as a domestic terrorist organization, the government has given itself a green light to treat speech, belief, and association as criminal acts. With this one executive order, political dissent has been rebranded as terrorism and free thought recast as a crime. Critics will argue that “Antifa” means...

The Genie of ‘Israeli First’ Dominance is Out of the Bottle

“Gaza is on fire; the Jewish state will not relent,” Israeli Defence Minister Katz excitedly proclaims: “The IDF is striking with an Iron fist at terrorist infrastructure.” In fact, over recent weeks Israel has struck at “infrastructure” in West Bank, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Tunisia – besides Gaza. The so-called “Rules-Based Order” blueprint (if it ever truly existed beyond narrative) has been ripped up in favour of violent Zionism: Genocide, sneak attacks under the guise of on-going...

More Turmoil from Washington

More Turmoil from Washington

by | Sep 23, 2025 |

It has been another exciting week in and around Washington. The murder of Charlie Kirk has produced speculation that has resulted in all the loonies and haters coming out from their various hidey-holes. This has inevitably included the chorus of knuckleheads that makes up the Donald Trump cabinet. Since Kirk’s death, Republican conservatives have called for a crackdown on the left, though it is by no means clear that any identifiable left-of-center group was in any way implicated in...

The Mystery of Trump, Ukraine, and Russia

by | Sep 22, 2025 |

Hardly anyone in the mainstream press addresses the mystery of how Trump went from what was supposedly a secret agent of the Russians to an ardent opponent of Russia in the Ukraine-Russia war. My hunch is that the commentators in the mainstream press are so excited that Trump has turned pro-Ukraine that they don’t care that they were, not so long ago, accusing him of being a secret agent of Russia. After all, who can forget the daily refrain during Trump’s first term in office. “Robert Mueller...

The covid lockdowns caused many Americans to stop trusting the government’s propaganda and led to a 39 percent increase in homeschooling in the 2020-21 school year. While the number of homeschoolers did decline some after this jump, homeschooling has continued growing in popularity over the last several years. Today, approximately six percent of American school children are homeschooled. Parents choose to homeschool for a variety of reasons, including objections to certain political and social...

Why is Iran Willing to Make an Agreement with the IAEA?

Why is Iran Willing to Make an Agreement with the IAEA?

by | Sep 19, 2025 |

It looks like Donald Trump, with his European lackeys in tow, is telling Egypt to screw off. After painstaking negotiations, Egypt brokered an agreement between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is now known as the Cairo Agreement. This is a technical accord reached on September 9, 2025, in Cairo between Iran and the IAEA, which allows the IAEA to inspect Iranian nuclear facilities. Here are the main provisions of the Cairo Agreement: Resumption of...

Texas Governor Greg Abbott Expands His Rampage Against Free Speech on College Campuses, Using the Murder of Charlie Kirk as an Excuse

Texas Governor Greg Abbott Expands His Rampage Against Free Speech on College Campuses, Using the Murder of Charlie Kirk as an Excuse

by | Sep 19, 2025 |

Charlie Kirk became well known and helped build his organization Turning Point USA by coming on to college campuses to present views that some students and, often, the people running the colleges did not want aired. In doing so, he helped advance the exercise of free speech at colleges. It was at one of his campus events at which he was discussing and debating issues that Kirk was murdered last week. If Texas Governor Greg Abbott wanted to honor Kirk, an appropriate action may be to find ways...

Political Gaslighting: The Government’s Latest Playbook for Dismantling the Constitution

Political Gaslighting: The Government’s Latest Playbook for Dismantling the Constitution

by | Sep 18, 2025 |

What we are witnessing is not a government of the people, by the people, and for the people; it is a government over the people. Call it what it is: political gaslighting—the regime says one thing while doing the opposite, and insists on the citizenry’s trust while dismantling the very checks and balances that make trust possible. So when the powers-that-be claim to be protecting the Constitution, they’re dismantling it at every turn. In this way,...

Constitution Day and Tucker’s Rule

by | Sep 18, 2025 |

Sept. 17 is Constitution Day, a time for government-mandated veneration of the U.S. Constitution. Educational institutions receiving federal funds must hold a program for students about our frame of government. According to Nicholas Kent, an undersecretary at the Department of Education, “Constitution Day presents an annual opportunity to promote civic awareness and understanding about the Constitution among your students and the broader school or campus community.” Although it is probably not...
