iacta alea est

by | Oct 4, 2025 |

As I have long dreaded, it appears the weight of the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult is bearing sway. They have both hands on one side of the tiller. On the other side is Team Peace Prize, patting each other on the back with one hand, and eating a cheeseburger with the other. Not that there is even a choice at this juncture on the question of: War or Not War? When you are an enfeebled former superpower teetering on the brink of international and domestic collapse, war inevitably becomes the only...

Coach Bibi Leaves a Mark

by | Oct 3, 2025 |

Average Americans are concerned about the command relationship between the US and Israel.  There is a growing awareness of the US funded and armed slaughter in Gaza.  In 1967, over 50 years ago, Israelis created an open air concentration camp on the Strip.  It held 2.3 million people by 2023, that number today reduced to around 1.5 million, with the population of Gaza City now killed or removed. Palestinian survivors are crowded into a tiny militarized area in the south without...

Battlefield America: Trump’s War on the Enemy Within—the American People

Battlefield America: Trump’s War on the Enemy Within—the American People

by | Oct 2, 2025 |

“The era of the Department of Defense is over… From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: warfighting.” — Pete Hegseth “America is under invasion from within… That’s a war, too. It’s a war from within… We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military... it’s the enemy from within.”—President Donald Trump Distractions abound. Don’t be distracted. The American police state under Donald Trump has mastered...

Who Will Protect Us From the Protectors?

Who Will Protect Us From the Protectors?

by | Oct 2, 2025 |

In the same week in which President Donald Trump announced that he was federalizing 200 Oregon National Guard soldiers and dispatching them to the streets of Portland, he quietly signed a Presidential National Security Memorandum that purports to federalize policing. The Memorandum, just like the federalization of troops in Oregon, completely disregards constitutional safeguards against such practices. Here is the backstory. When James Madison and his colleagues crafted the Constitution and...

Generals Gathered in Their Masses…

Generals Gathered in Their Masses…

by | Oct 1, 2025 |

On Tuesday we observed one of the strangest spectacles of our time. President Trump and his "Secretary of War," Pete Hegseth, called a mandatory meeting of all the top brass in the US military. Some 800+ general officers, admirals, and the like gathered at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia for a doubleheader talk from Hegseth and Trump. Because such an event is nearly unprecedented - at least in peacetime - the days leading up to the meeting were increasingly filled with speculation and...

HHS Secretary Kennedy Challenges the Efficacy of Childhood Vaccine Schedule Shots

HHS Secretary Kennedy Challenges the Efficacy of Childhood Vaccine Schedule Shots

by | Oct 1, 2025 |

“Safe and effective.” That was the phrase often repeated by people trying to maximize the injections of coronavirus “vaccine” shots during the coronavirus scare. This claim about the shots was wrong. The shots turned out instead to be dangerous and ineffective. Unfortunately, many people went along with the powerful propaganda push, taking the shots. Yet, with time there was increasing recognition of the misrepresentation about these shots, and that helped open many people’s eyes to the...

The Republican–Israel Love Affair Hits a Generational Rift

The Republican–Israel Love Affair Hits a Generational Rift

by | Sep 30, 2025 |

The sniper's bullet that silenced Charlie Kirk on 10 September at Utah Valley University did more than end the life of America's most prominent conservative youth activist. It ignited a firestorm of theories that illuminated the deepest fractures within the Republican Party since the Cold War. Within hours, social media exploded with speculation that Israel's Mossad had orchestrated the assassination to neutralize what some saw as a rising threat to Israel's influence in Washington....

The Way Home

The Way Home

by | Sep 30, 2025 |

How do you find your way home when you’re lost and far away? Where do you start? In wilderness survival training, it’s “head downhill.” That will bring you to water, and water will bring you to civilization. Let’s look at the last two weeks: Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Bombing alleged fentanyl boats heading to the US. Copycat (from Kirk’s assassin, bullet writing) shootings at ICE. Acetaminophen (in some 500 brands, most prominently Tylenol) links to autism. National Guard deployed to cities...

The Real Jan. 6th Coup

The Real Jan. 6th Coup

by | Sep 29, 2025 |

In my first column after the events of Jan. 6th, 2021, I criticized those who called the protest a “coup,” pointing out that, “Some of the same politicians and bureaucrats denouncing the ridiculous farce at the Capitol as if it were the equivalent of 9/11 have been involved for decades in planning and executing real coups overseas. In their real coups, many thousands of civilians have died.” The media at the time played up the violence committed by a relative few at the protest to stoke a...

The Normalization of Assassination

The Normalization of Assassination

by | Sep 29, 2025 |

The news has been filled with reports of assassinations, attempted assassinations, and shootings targeted against law enforcement. The spate of political violence has seriously eroded America’s legitimacy as a moral and decent state. How did we get here? U.S. state violence on the world stage may help explain the rise of political violence here at home. The idea of political assassination gained traction with the U.S. intelligence services during World War II, which was viewed (somewhat...

The Mideast Road to Nowhere

The Mideast Road to Nowhere

by | Sep 29, 2025 |

‘Stop writing about the Mideast or we will throw acid in your and your son’s faces.’ Such was the threat shouted through the front door of our New York City apartment where my mother and I lived in the 1950’s. Then there was frequent pounding on the door at 3 am with further threats and obscenities. My mother’s offense? Being one of the first female journalists to cover the Mideast, a region barely known at that time to most Americans. My mother, Nexhmie Zaimi, was born in Albania, a former...

Is Tren De Aragua a CIA Operation In Order to Justify an Attack on Venezuela?

Is Tren De Aragua a CIA Operation In Order to Justify an Attack on Venezuela?

by | Sep 29, 2025 |

You will likely ask: Why is your headline about Venezuela but you begin your article by discussing the new leader in Syria? A fair question, and here is the simple answer: Given the massive buildup of US forces off the coast, is the supposed threat posed by Tren de Aragua genuine, or is it an intelligence operation designed to create a justification to carry out a regime change in Venezuela? We know from publicly available evidence that the CIA has a history of providing support to radical...

The Return of Geopolitical Gravity

The Return of Geopolitical Gravity

by | Sep 27, 2025 |

Four extraordinary events happened last week within the span of just 72 hours; a week which may well be remembered as one of the most consequential in the transition from Pax Americana (an era that was admittedly much more “Americana” than “Pax”) to a multipolar world. These 4 events are each significant in their own right, but when taken together and considering the fact they all happened within an extremely short timeframe - September 17th to 19th - they together point to a profound...

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

“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...
