Legal Plunder: Indiana Police Prey On Packages Transiting Huge FedEx Hub

Legal Plunder: Indiana Police Prey On Packages Transiting Huge FedEx Hub

by | Dec 2, 2024 |

From a federal government operating far beyond the bounds of the Constitution to law enforcement agencies routinely entering private property without warrants, tyranny takes many forms in the United States. However, few are as shocking to the sensibilities as civil asset forfeiture, the controversial practice that empowers police to seize money, cars, trucks, houses or anything else they merely accuse of having a link to criminal activity — regardless of whether the...

Biden’s Parting Shot at America

Biden’s Parting Shot at America

by | Dec 2, 2024 |

The interim between a US presidential election and the swearing in of a new Administration has for most of our history been a non-eventful period where the outgoing Administration winds down operations and the incoming Administration ramps up new personnel before the inauguration. The 20th Amendment to our Constitution was enacted in 1933 to reduce the “lame duck” period between election and inauguration to January 20th instead of March 4th. Increasing ease in travel and communications made...

Lebanon’s Unbalanced Ceasefire Teeters on the Brink

Lebanon’s Unbalanced Ceasefire Teeters on the Brink

by | Dec 1, 2024 |

Only Israel has opened fire since the start of the “ceasefire”, and Israel has done so repeatedly. Nobody has fired back. Israel has for three days in a row attacked alleged Hezbollah rocket sites with bombs or missiles, killing at least four people and probably more. Israel has opened fire on journalists. It has critically wounded two mourners at a funeral. There are numerous reports of Lebanese civilians returning to their homes in the South coming under fire from Israeli troops. This video...

Pakistan: Slow Motion Train Wreck

Pakistan: Slow Motion Train Wreck

by | Dec 1, 2024 |

Pakistan is the world’s most important Muslim nation. It has 251 million people, nuclear weapons, the world’s sixth largest armed forces, intelligent, capable people, vast lands and major sources of water. Yet Pakistan is a giant mess. Its current politics are a form of tribal warfare. Corruption engulfs almost everything. Disease, particularly diabetes, afflicts its long-suffering people. Polio is making return. In recent years, Pakistan has suffered vast floods that have ravaged this nation....

Atlanticists Mobilise to Salvage NATO as Russia Toughens its Stance

Atlanticists Mobilise to Salvage NATO as Russia Toughens its Stance

by | Nov 29, 2024 |

The American film maker and philanthropist who created the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, George Lucas, once said, “Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” Within a week of Russia “testing” the Oreshnik hypersonic missile in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, against which the NATO has no defence, the Western alliance is already transiting through the Dark Side from fear to hatred and hurtling toward unspeakable suffering.  The...

Less Government Brings a Happy Thanksgiving

Less Government Brings a Happy Thanksgiving

by | Nov 28, 2024 |

Government requires make-believe. Make believe that the king is divine, make believe that he can do no wrong or make believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God. Make believe that the people have a voice or make believe that the representatives of the people are the people. Make believe that governors are the servants of the people. Make believe that all men are created equal or make believe that they are not. -- Edmund S. Morgan (1916-2013) What if the government’s true goal is...

Sebastian Gorka: British Intelligence Asset?

Sebastian Gorka: British Intelligence Asset?

by , | Nov 27, 2024 |

Sebastian Gorka’s involvement with British intelligence cost him a security clearance in Hungary. His longtime mentor is a UK spook currently engaged in covert operations against Russia. Is the Ukraine hawk and Trump counter-terror appointee operating on London time? After years in the wilderness of right-wing radio, where he flamboyantly proclaimed his loyalty to president-elect Donald Trump for years, Sebastian Gorka has finally found his way back into Trump’s inner circle, earning an...

Four Gentlemen Tour the Bekaa Valley

Four Gentlemen Tour the Bekaa Valley

by | Nov 27, 2024 |

On Thursday evening news came through that we had at long last gained the full list of approvals required to travel to report outside Beirut; we were cleared by the Ministry of Information, the Ministry of Defence, and the local authorities. Laith Marouf of Free Palestine TV called me and suggested we go down together on Friday to the southern capital of Nabatieh, which has been enduring heavy bombing. I asked Laith to give me half an hour, and did some quick research. Nabatieh is about 12...

Trump v. The Bureaucracy

Trump v. The Bureaucracy

The war has begun. It’s Trump, Elon, Vivek Ramaswamy, and their new Department of Government Efficiency versus the Federal bureaucracy in a no-holds barred cage deathmatch. The first punches have been thrown; who will win? At stake are your tax dollars. U.S. election night 2024 was a somber affair in Europe, as U.S. officials in most European capitals abandoned the usual watch parties. Watch parties used to be a long-standing American diplomatic tradition, held at embassies with invited local...

The Counterinsurgency is ‘On’ – Against Trump’s ‘Storm’

The Counterinsurgency is ‘On’ – Against Trump’s ‘Storm’

by | Nov 26, 2024 |

“The Deep State whispered to Trump: “You cannot withstand the storm.” Trump whispered back: “I am the storm.” The war is on. The Deep State has launched a war of disruption to disable Trump’s “storm.” Last week’s ATACM strike was but one part to an inter-agency counter-insurgency – a political strike directed at Trump; so too are all the inter-agency false narratives attributed to the Trump camp; and so too, the escalating provocations directed at Iran. Be assured the Five Eyes are full...

Divide and Conquer: Political Riptides Threaten to Overwhelm the Nation

Divide and Conquer: Political Riptides Threaten to Overwhelm the Nation

by | Nov 26, 2024 |

Once again we find ourselves approaching that time of year when, as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln proclaimed, we’re supposed to give thanks as a nation and as individuals for our safety and our freedoms. But how do you give thanks for freedoms that are constantly being eroded? How do you express gratitude for one’s safety when the perils posed by the American police state grow more treacherous by the day? How do you come together as a nation in thanksgiving when the...

Will Armageddon Be Joe Biden’s Final Legacy Regarding Russia?

Will Armageddon Be Joe Biden’s Final Legacy Regarding Russia?

by | Nov 25, 2024 |

When the Soviet Union dissolved in late 1991, the world seemed poised for a new, more peaceful era no longer haunted by the fear of a nuclear Armageddon. The principal successor state from the wreckage of the USSR was a noncommunist Russia that was intent on becoming part of the democratic, capitalist West. President George H. W. Bush and his top advisers exercised considerable diplomatic skill managing the twilight years and ultimate demise of the Soviet Union. Their core achievement was to...

Congress’s Jan. 6 Investigation Looks Less and Less Credible

Congress’s Jan. 6 Investigation Looks Less and Less Credible

by | Nov 25, 2024 |

Below is my column in The Hill on new evidence released by the House related to the January 6th riot. The J6 Committee fueled doubts about the official accounts by using only Democratically-appointed members and skewing the evidence. The new information further undermines the narrative pushed by both members and the media. Here is the column: On Jan. 6, 2021, the nation was rocked by the disruption of the certification of Joe Biden as our next president. With Donald Trump set to...

Get the Government out of the Classroom

by | Nov 25, 2024 |

President-elect Trump has nominated former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education. President-elect Trump promised that, if confirmed, Mrs. McMahon would “spearhead” the effort to “send education back to the states.” This has led some people to wonder if Linda McMahon may be the last Secretary of Education. The Constitution does not give the federal government any role in education. Instead, education is left in the hands of state and local governments and...

Will Trump Go After the War Party

by | Nov 23, 2024 |

In 54 BC, Marcus Licinius Crassus, a rich, ambitious Roman businessman, got himself named governor of the wealthy province of Syria. Crassus had been sharing power in Rome with Pompey and Julius Caesar. Call him the Donald Trump of his day. Crassus decided to invade neighboring Parthia, which is today Turkey and Iran. At the battle of Carrhae, retreating Persian horse archers loosed arrows over the back of their horses, giving us the literary term for a parting shot, `Parthian shaft.’ The...

House of Representatives Approves Legislation Threatening Nonprofits’ Free Speech

House of Representatives Approves Legislation Threatening Nonprofits’ Free Speech

by | Nov 22, 2024 |

On Thursday, the United States House of Representatives approved legislation that would threaten nonprofit organizations’ exercise of free speech rights. The legislation would accomplish this goal by empowering the US government to selectively clamp down on nonprofits to an extent that targeted organizations may cease to exist. This is all being done in the name of countering terrorism, a trusty standby excuse for the US government exercising authoritarian powers. The House approved the Stop...
