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

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

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

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...

Congress Passes Mega-Billions More For Ukraine

Congress Passes Mega-Billions More For Ukraine

by | May 2, 2024 |

Last week, Congress voted to send $95 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The largest portion was to Ukraine – $61 billion – after the Congress had previously approved $114 billion, for a total of $175 billion. The total GDP of Ukraine in 2022 was $160.5 billion. In other words, we basically could have bought the whole country for less than we have sent them. Of course, most of this money was approved due to the tremendous lobbying effort made and the big campaign...

What Ever Happened to the Freedom of Speech?

What Ever Happened to the Freedom of Speech?

by | May 2, 2024 |

When James Madison was a member of Congress in 1791 and charged with drafting the Bill of Rights, he made two grammatical demands. One was that the word “the” precede “freedom of speech” in the First Amendment, and the other was a command in the Ninth Amendment that the “rights retained by the people,” rights too numerous to enumerate, “shall not be disparaged” by the government. This principle -- that our rights preexisted the government -- would be played out over and over in litigation in...

The Steady Slide Towards Tyranny: How Freedom Dies from A to Z

The Steady Slide Towards Tyranny: How Freedom Dies from A to Z

by | May 1, 2024 |

The American governmental scheme is sliding ever closer towards a pervasive authoritarianism. The American people, the permanent underclass in America, have allowed themselves to be so distracted and divided that they have failed to notice the building blocks of tyranny being laid down right under their noses by the architects of the Deep State. This steady slide towards tyranny, meted out by militarized local and federal police and legalistic bureaucrats, has been carried forward by each...

A Day in the Life of a ‘Foreign Adversary Controlled’ Application

What is truth? Those were the famous words from Pilate to Jesus Christ. Like Pilate, we seek truth yet while the paths to truth may diverge at times, one thing is sure: they cannot be determined by governmental authorities. Ron Paul Institute Director Daniel McAdams spoke earlier this month at the Mises Institute/Ron Paul Institute Lake Jackson, TX, conference on the topics of the recently-extended Section 702 of the FISA Act allowing the government to spy without a warrant and the recent...

Theodore Postol, Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy at MIT, has provided a forensic analysis of the videos and evidence emerging from Iran’s 13th April swarm drone and missile “demonstation” attack into Israel: A “message,” rather than an “assault.” The leading Israeli daily, Yediot Ahoronot, has estimated the cost of attempting to down this Iranian flotilla at between $2-3 billion dollars. The implications of this single number are substantial. Professor Postol...

Nina Jankowicz  is back . . . with a vengeance. The former head of the infamous “Disinformation Governance Board” within the Department of Homeland Security is now heading a private disinformation group called the American Sunlight Project. With a close election looming in November, Jankowicz has found funding to “to expose and oppose efforts to weaponize disinformation in the United States.” The establishment of the group is only the latest example of how many in politics and media are...

TikTok Hypocrisy

by | Apr 29, 2024 |

President Biden’s campaign will continue using the popular social media site TikTok even though the president supported a provision in the military aid bill he recently signed forcing TikTok’s parent company ByteDance to sell TikTok within 270 days. If ByteDance does not sell TikTok within the required time, TikTok will be banned in the USA. Biden’s continued use of TikTok to reach the approximately 150 million American TikTok users, is not the only example of hypocrisy from politicians who...

Students Go After the Hypocrites

Students Go After the Hypocrites

by | Apr 27, 2024 |

New York – I was kicked out of New York’s prestigious Collegiate private school many moons ago for "revolutionary and disruptive activities." Thank goodness my wise parents sent me to the International School of Geneva, Switzerland where I thrived. The underground French fascist group, "la Main Rouge" repeatedly threatened to kill me for organizing student demonstrations against France’s colonial war in Algeria. But I survived. Being a life-long rebel and hell-raiser, I am naturally...
