(Sales) Taxation is Theft

(Sales) Taxation is Theft

A group of House Republicans is supporting legislation that would replace federal income, payroll, estate, and gift taxes with a 30 percent national sales tax. The bill also eliminates the Internal Revenue Service, giving states the responsibility to collect the sales tax and send the revenue to DC.This deputizing of states to act as federal tax collectors violates the principles of federalism, especially since the plan forces states that have chosen not to make their residents pay sales taxes...

The Arsenal of Democracy Isn't

The Arsenal of Democracy Isn't

As I originally wrote in my July 10, 2022 article Wunderwaffe Du Jour: “The US military is not built nor equipped for protracted high-intensity conflict. Nor can it supply a depleted proxy army with the means to prosecute a protracted high-intensity conflict.” The incontrovertible reality is that the US and its NATO allies are presently incapable of supplying the massive material demands of modern industrial warfare, as Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Alex Vershinin articulated so well in this...

Smack-Down! Hungary Pushes Back Against Obnoxious US Ambassador

Smack-Down! Hungary Pushes Back Against Obnoxious US Ambassador

US Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman and his husband.Biden's Ambassador to Hungary, David Pressman, is a particularly odious specimen in a long line of obnoxious US residents of Szabadság tér since the end of Hungary's subjection to Soviet control in 1989. Before him, Soap Opera producer and Obama glamor-queen moneybags Coleen Bell warned Hungarians in 2016 to get on board with the destruction of Syria or face the wrath of DC. Secretary of State Tony Blinken's own father, Donald, did the...

Communist Doomsday Balloon Nonsense

Communist Doomsday Balloon Nonsense

It’s remarkable how easy it is to rile up the American public. The latest bit of theatrics centers around a “communist” balloon that is either a spy device or a weather balloon that has drifted off course. Either way, this thing isn’t some sort of major threat to America. Even so, it can be used as clickbait.

What Does 'Unprovoked' Mean?

What Does 'Unprovoked' Mean?

Note the following sentence in a New York Times news story yesterday by Michael Schwirtz and Anton Troianovski about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: “Mr. Putin’s attempt to put a veneer of nobility on an unprovoked invasion that has killed thousands of civilians and turned millions more into refugees was made in the Russian city once known as Stalingrad, on the 80th anniversary of a victory there against Nazi Germany that changed the course of World War II.” (Italics added.) The operative word...

The Outrageous Removing of Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee

The Outrageous Removing of Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee

The United States House of Representatives approved on Thursday a resolution (H. Res. 76) that removes Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the House’s Committee on Foreign Affairs. The resolution passed by a party-line vote, with Republican members casting all the votes for the resolution and Democratic members casting all the votes cast against it. Rep. David Joyce (R-OH) cast the sole “present” vote. The outrageous resolution presents as the main rational for removing Omar from the committee the...

Jordan Peterson Sold Out to the War Party

Jordan Peterson Sold Out to the War Party

When Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson first burst onto the news cycle in 2016 he was seen by many as a principled iconoclast among the spineless intellectuals who was speaking out against an approaching toleration left. Protesting the gender identity rights bill C-16, he was thrusted into the public eye when he made viral Youtube videos warning that such a law would force compelled speech on a slope towards big-brother state overreach. Beloved and hated by many, years of interviews,...

Raging Bulls in Blue: The Deadly Toll of Warrior Policing on Steroids

Raging Bulls in Blue: The Deadly Toll of Warrior Policing on Steroids

That the police officers charged with the beating death of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols are Black is a distraction. Don’t be distracted. This latest instance of police brutality is not about racism in policing or black-on-black violence. The entire institution is corrupt. The old guard—made up of fine, decent, lawful police officers who took seriously their oath of office to serve and protect their fellow citizens, uphold the Constitution, and maintain the peace—has given way to a new guard hyped...

Zelensky's Great Purge continues, launching police raid against oligarch who fell out of favor with Biden Admin

Zelensky's Great Purge continues, launching police raid against oligarch who fell out of favor with Biden Admin

Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky just sicced his secret police (Ukraine’s SBU) on Igor Kolomoisky, a billionaire oligarch who was once wholly responsible for financing the Ukrainian president’s rise to power. The significance of the story — regarding Zelensky turning on his longtime patron and Kolomoisky’s other significant ties — was entirely buried by foreign and state media, with most merely referring to the situation as another in a series of “anti-corruption” actions. The case...

Bill Gates secured hundreds of millions in profits from mRNA stock sales before suddenly changing tune on vaccine technology

Bill Gates secured hundreds of millions in profits from mRNA stock sales before suddenly changing tune on vaccine technology

Bill Gates secured hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from his foundation’s impeccably timed investment in BioNTech — the Pfizer partner for its mRNA Covid shots — before dramatically reversing course and proceeding to openly cast doubt on the whole of mRNA technology. In reviewing SEC filings, The Dossier has found that the Gates Foundation’s holdings in BioNTech went from 1,038,674 shares to 148,674 shares over the course of the third quarter of 2021, downsizing the Gates position in...

‘At War with Russia’, Europe Peers Down the Abyss

‘At War with Russia’, Europe Peers Down the Abyss

There is too much ‘noise’ in the system, and it is obscuring the view. Davos has always been ‘weird’. But this year, the kookier aspects were so obvious. The WEF is dying on the vine. The ‘vision’ seems ever more fantastical, and the hubris – inherent in the ‘behavioural conditioning’ to make people make the ‘right choices’ – stands naked. The schism between life, as experienced in the round, and the WEF’s bleak prescription, has never been more stark. The gap will only widen as sharply...

Phantoms of the Eyewash: America Herds NATO’S Paper Tigers Into Oblivion

Phantoms of the Eyewash: America Herds NATO’S Paper Tigers Into Oblivion

Within sight of the Stadium Albert Speer built for Hitler’s 1934 Olympics there looms a high hill above the fashionable Grunewald district. A rare sight in flat Berlin, it once had a ski jump on it and is still used by skiers in the winter. It is capped by a deserted NATO listening station used during the Cold War to eavesdrop on Russian forces and their Warsaw Pact allies. But there is nothing natural about it. It is called “Teufelsberg,” the Devil’s Mountain, for good reason. And it is made...

Air Force General Demands Preparation for War with China

Air Force General Demands Preparation for War with China

If the conflict in Ukraine does not end in nuclear madness, Taiwan just might. That very well may be the unintended result if Gen. Mike Minihan, the head of the USG Air Force's Air Mobility Command, has his way. China could be at war with the U.S. two years from now, according to Gen. Michael A. Minihan, who oversees the Air Force’s fleet of transport and refueling aircraft. He cited the 2024 presidential elections in Taiwan and the U.S. as part of his rationale. https://t.co/HTUm8vdMkP — The...

The Real Disinformation Was The ‘Russia Disinformation’ Hoax

Thanks to the latest release of the “Twitter Files,” we now know without a doubt that the entire “Russia disinformation” racket was a massive disinformation campaign to undermine US elections and perhaps even push “regime change” inside the United States after Donald Trump was elected president in 2016.Here is some background. In November, 2016, just after the election, the Washington Post published an article titled, “Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election,...

How I tried to prevent the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, and why I failed

How I tried to prevent the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, and why I failed

In fulfillment of his solemn, constitutionally-enshrined obligation, the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush, on January 28, 2003, stood before the rostrum in the chambers of the United States Congress and addressed the American people. “Mr. Speaker,” the President began, “Vice President Cheney, members of Congress, distinguished citizens and fellow citizens, every year, by law and by custom, we meet here to consider the state of the union. This year,” he intoned gravely, “we...
