Shameless

Shameless

by | May 14, 2024 |

Incredibly the Israeli genocide in Gaza is now reaching new heights of violence. Casualty figures are not coming in, as the attacks are so bad that bodies cannot be recovered, medics cannot travel and there are almost no medical facilities operational now anyway. We now see that the Western injunctions not to attack Rafah were a smokescreen of lies to mask complicity. The final pocket of Gaza is being ruthlessly ethnically cleansed and its infrastructure will be destroyed like all the rest. It...

NATO’s New Burden-Sharing Objectives

NATO’s New Burden-Sharing Objectives

by | May 14, 2024 |

From its founding in 1949 until the start of NATO’s proxy war against Russia in 2022, the principal troublesome issue for the Alliance was Washington’s repeated calls for greater burden-sharing on the part of its allies. Discontent on Washington’s part emerged early and often. President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, warned NATO’s European members that unless they did more to enhance collective defense the United States might be compelled to reassess the extent...

Countdown Begins for Russia’s Ukraine Offensive

Countdown Begins for Russia’s Ukraine Offensive

by | May 13, 2024 |

A study by the Harvard Business School in experimental psychology relating to people’s tendency to “shoot the messenger” came up with a  startling finding that such human behaviour stems in part from a desire to make sense of chance processes.  Simply put, receiving bad news activates the desire to sense-make, and in turn, activating this desire enhances the tendency to dislike bearers of bad news. In the current churning around the Ukraine war, French President Emmanuel Macron...

Will the Fed Lose Control?

by | May 13, 2024 |

According to new reports from the Social Security and Medicare trustees, Social Security and a Medicare fund that pays for hospital expenses will both begin running deficits in 2035 and 2036. Disappointingly, but not surprisingly, Congress was too preoccupied spending billions more on military aid for foreign countries and banning TikTok to pay attention to the looming bankruptcy of the two largest federal entitlement programs. Many in Congress no doubt believe they can ignore the impending...

Empire Managers Explain Why This New Protest Movement Scares Them

Empire Managers Explain Why This New Protest Movement Scares Them

by | May 10, 2024 |

The U.S. secretary of state and a Bilderberg surveillance tech oligarch have both made some very interesting admissions about the burgeoning protest movement against the U.S.-backed slaughter in Gaza and the problems it poses for the empire they help run. During a vitriolic rant about university demonstrators at the Ash Carter Exchange on Innovation and National Security on Tuesday, Palantir CEO Alex Karp came right out and said that if those on the side of the protesters win the...

A Pessimistic Economist Laments The End Of Order

by | May 10, 2024 |

The magazine for and by multi-millionaires and billionaires, The Economist, warns that the end is imminent: The liberal international order is slowly coming apart - (archived)Its collapse could be sudden and irreversible For years the order that has governed the global economy since the second world war has been eroded. Today it is close to collapse. A worrying number of triggers could set off a descent into anarchy, where might is right and war is once again the resort of great...

I predict future happiness for Americans,if they can prevent the government fromwasting the labors of the people underthe pretense of taking care of them.-- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Last week, Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Edward Markey of Massachusetts revealed that automobiles sold in the United States with a GPS or emergency call system accumulate the travel data of the vehicle on computer chips located in the vehicle and the vehicle manufacturers have remote access to the computer...

The Proof of Censorship is…Censored

by | May 8, 2024 |

It’s not been a good week for the Censorship Industrial Complex.  The machine has been built and put into action over nearly a decade but largely in secret. Its way of doing business has been via surreptitious contacts with media and tech companies, intelligence carve-outs in “fact-checking” organizations, payoffs, and various other clever strategies, all directed toward boosting some sources of information and suppressing others. The goal has always been to advance regime narratives and...

The Beast of Ideology Lifts the Lid on Transformation

The Beast of Ideology Lifts the Lid on Transformation

by | May 7, 2024 |

The Transformation is accelerating. The harsh, often violent, police repression of student protests across the US and Europe, in wake of the continuing Palestinian massacres, exposes sheer intolerance towards those voicing condemnation against the violence in Gaza. The category of “hate speech” enacted into law has become so ubiquitous and fluid that criticism of the conduct of Israel’s behaviour in Gaza and the West Bank is now treated as a category of extremism and as a threat to the state....

No Part of the Constitution is Safe from the US Congress

No Part of the Constitution is Safe from the US Congress

by | May 7, 2024 |

Most members of the United Sates Congress repeatedly and, it seems, without a second thought vote for legislation that violates the restraints imposed by the US Constitution. It has been this way for many years. That situation has helped a government of limited, enumerated powers become a behemoth. Lately, even the mechanics laid out in the Constitution for the process by which the government operates are coming under attack in Congress. We see an example of this in the Equal Representation...

The Great Ukraine Robbery is Not Over Yet

by | May 6, 2024 |

The ink was barely dry on President Biden’s signature transferring another $61 billion to the black hole called Ukraine, when the mainstream media broke the news that this was not the parting shot in a failed US policy. The elites have no intention of shutting down this gravy train, which transports wealth from the middle and working class to the wealthy and connected class. Reuters wrote right after the aid bill was passed that, “Ukraine’s $61 billion lifeline is not enough.” Senate Minority...

Superman’s Partnership with the Feds

Superman’s Partnership with the Feds

by | May 6, 2024 |

As we all know, as part of the U.S. government’s much-vaunted war-on-terrorism racket, some big technology firms have chosen to partner with the government in an effort to win the war on terrorism. In the process, they have aided the government, sometimes illegally, in the destruction of people’s privacy. The firms engage in such wrongdoing either because of some warped interpretation of “patriotism” or for money or both. When I was a kid growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, the same thing was...

How to Waste Two Trillion Dollars

How to Waste Two Trillion Dollars

by | May 4, 2024 |

Brown University’s cost of the Afghan war project just concluded that America’s longest war cost an estimated $US 2.2 trillion dollars – that’s ‘trillion dollars.” If we add in George W. Bush’s fake `war on terror,’ Brown’s scholars estimate that the cost rises to US $8 trillion! Most of this huge amount was financed by loans, not through taxes. Meaning that every dollar spent must be paid for by borrowing. That means paying interest (raised by taxes) on the borrowed money – $95 billion...

Claims That Student Protestors Are Chanting ‘Death to America’ Are B.S.

Claims That Student Protestors Are Chanting ‘Death to America’ Are B.S.

by | May 4, 2024 |

The FBI is being pressed by members of Congress to investigate the student protests, both for possible foreign financing and for students chanting "Death to America" — a phrase Fox News says is becoming a "key slogan" of the protests.  There's just one problem: students never said it.  I’ve searched, scoured photographs, and waded through social media. There’s no evidence that any of the student demonstrators taking to dozens of college campuses in recent weeks to protest...

The MIC Needs TikTok as Part of the Captive Media

by | May 4, 2024 |

My late friend William Norman Grigg used to joke that radio/Fox host Sean Hannity’s alt-shift-7 hotkey auto-response to someone slightly disagreeing with him on air was to blurt out: “Why do you hate America?”  DailyWire co-founder Jeremy Boreing seems to have been unwittingly channeling Will Grigg’s satire of Hannity, tweeting on April 20: “People who deny the moon landing or suggest America is evil for its use of atomic weapons against Imperial Japan or who say that George Bush was...

Defenders of the Israeli Government Encourage Antisemitism

by | May 2, 2024 |

American universities are besieged by students protesting their schools’ investments in U.S. suppliers of weaponry to the Israeli government, which Israeli officials are using to carry out their military campaign in Gaza. Some universities are now calling in riot police to break up the protests as well as suspending or expelling the protestors. Some university officials and their supporters in the mainstream press are accusing the protestors of being antisemitic. The accusation of being...
