Russiagate: The Smoking Gun, Part II

Russiagate: The Smoking Gun, Part II

Part I of this article showed a conspiracy to smear Donald Trump with false allegations of collusion with Russia took place, with Hillary Clinton at its head. Part II today will show the FBI was an active participant in the conspiracy to destroy Trump. The facts are not in dispute. We are left only to decide if the FBI acted incompetently and unprofessionally, or as part of a conspiracy. The first part of the smoking gun may have been hiding in plain sight for some time now. In June 2018...

Legalizing Marijuana Is Not So Much the Goal of the US Congress Leadership’s Legalization Bills

Legalizing Marijuana Is Not So Much the Goal of the US Congress Leadership’s Legalization Bills

Why hasn’t the United States Congress sent to President Joe Biden legislation to end the US government’s war on marijuana already? We are over four years into about two-thirds of Americans supporting marijuana legalization and majority support being reached among Republicans. Yet, the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives and Senate keeps failing to take the steps needed for Congress to deliver legalization legislation to the president. Why? The answer, Jacob Sullum...

Biden’s Regime-Change Lie

Biden’s Regime-Change Lie

President Biden’s denial that the US government is committed to regime-change in Russia is a lie. Ever since its inception, the core mission of the US national-security establishment, specifically the Pentagon and the CIA, has been regime change. The goal has always been to oust from power political leaders who operate independently of the Pentagon and the CIA and replace them with local stooges who obey the orders of the US national-security establishment, oftentimes on payment of large sums...

Russiagate: The Smoking Gun, Part I

Russiagate: The Smoking Gun, Part I

We are looking for two smoking guns now in connection with Russiagate. Today’s Part I will show Hillary Clinton herself sat atop a large-scale conspiracy to use the tools of modern espionage to create and disseminate false information about Trump. Part II to follow will show the FBI was an active participant in that conspiracy. In summer 2016 Hillary Clinton’s private email server and her improper handling of classified information was the political story. Consensus was the election was...

A Grassroots Foreign Policy

A Grassroots Foreign Policy

(bigger)Four weeks ago, I predicted, “American taxpayers are going to be regaled with propaganda about the need to increase military spending in reaction to Putin’s invasion and accede to even more troops deployed overseas.” Right on cue, Gen. Tod Wolters, U.S. European Command chief, did precisely that. “I think what we need to do from a U.S. force perspective is look at what takes place in Europe following the completion of Ukraine-Russia scenario and examine the European contributions, and...

This Is No Path to Happiness

This Is No Path to Happiness

Sometimes I think Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and co-author of the book COVID-19: The Great Reset, is a warm-hearted philanthropist with a dark sense of humor. Recently I read a puerile and degrading article in Forbes, titled “Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better,” written by one of the WEF’s brilliant “Young Global Leaders” and published on November 10, 2016.  The article describes much of what the WEF has been touting for...

The US Empire's Ultimate Target Is Not Russia But China

The US Empire's Ultimate Target Is Not Russia But China

The Pentagon has produced its latest National Defense Strategy (NDS), a report made every four years to provide the public and the government with a broad overview of the US war machine's planning, posturing, developments and areas of focus.  You might assume with all the aggressive brinkmanship between Moscow and the US power alliance this year that Russia would feature as Enemy Number One in the 2022 NDS, but you would be assuming incorrectly. The US "Defense" Department reserves that slot...

Another one: FDA expects to authorize 6th mRNA dose in the fall

On the same day that the FDA authorized a fifth mRNA COVID injection for immunocompromised individuals (and a fourth for the general population over 50), one of the FDA’s top bureaucrats is already projecting more mRNA doses to come. “I don’t want to shock anyone, but there may be a need for people to get an additional booster in the fall,” Peter Marks, the director of the FDA’s Center for Biologic Evaluation and Research..."Can you say:#epicfailurehttps://t.co/R2LJuSXdrd — Maggie Early...

Rothbard on Today's Progressive War Jingoism

Rothbard on Today's Progressive War Jingoism

Readers of Murray Rothbard's articles and speeches on war collectivism will immediately recognize the progressive pietist fervor surrounding today's progressive war jingoism: everywhere is Ukraine! The atavistic need to analogize today's situation to 1938, with Vladimir Putin as Adolf Hitler and war skeptics as Neville Chamberlain at Munich, is proof of this. The lessons of 1914, where a series of tragic blunders turned a regional conflict into a conflagration across Europe, are far more...

Regime Change has Been the US Goal in Russia for Years

Regime Change has Been the US Goal in Russia for Years

It was the culminating event of a four-day trip planned at the last minute for the purpose of rallying Europe to the cause of standing up to Russia’s military incursion into Ukraine. Speaking before a large and enthusiastic crowd in the Polish capital of Warsaw, US President Joe Biden concluded his remarks by going off-script. After condemning what he called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin’s “brutality” in Ukraine, Biden uttered nine words that, in a blink of an eye, made moot whatever...

Red Alert: What seeing the war in Syria taught me about US/Western government and media propaganda

Red Alert: What seeing the war in Syria taught me about US/Western government and media propaganda

The Syrian war was the first fully observed conflict on social-media and the ability to connect directly with Syrians real time as they were experiencing the crisis was unprecedented. This created a unique opportunity to get unfiltered information directly from all sides of the conflict to gain insights and understanding. The results have helped shake off the control by conventional news media over foreign events reporting and analysis. While this has created some chaos, valuable lessons have...

And What About Those Biolabs?

And What About Those Biolabs?

The semi-official United States government plus media lie machine knows that constructing a plausible reason to bomb the crap out of someone all depends on where you begin your narrative. If you keep starting your accusations at a point where the target has done something bad, all you have to do is repeat yourself over and over again to drown out any alternative backstory that surfaces. And if you really want to demolish all contrary views, all you have to do is liken the targeted foreign...

Re-Visiting Russiagate In Light Of The Ukraine War

Re-Visiting Russiagate In Light Of The Ukraine War

It’s hard to believe that the last president spent his term pouring weapons into Ukraine, shredding treaties with Russia and ramping up cold war escalations against Moscow which helped lead us directly to the extraordinarily dangerous situation we now find ourselves in, and yet mainstream liberals spent his entire administration screaming that he was a Kremlin puppet. A lot of anti-empire commentary is rightly going into criticizing how the Obama administration paved the way to this conflict...

The ‘Ukrainian Resistance’ and the Houthis – A contrast in media coverage

The ‘Ukrainian Resistance’ and the Houthis – A contrast in media coverage

In the now month-long mainstream media coverage of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine, much attention has been paid to the actions of the ‘Ukrainian Resistance’. In a manner not dissimilar to its coverage of the ‘Syrian rebels’ a decade ago, a romanticised image of ‘Ukrainian freedom fighters’ fighting bravely against a militarily superior Russian foe has been widespread amongst corporate outlets, alongside their fawning over Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his calls for...

Biden’s Disastrous European Tour

Biden’s Disastrous European Tour

Previewing President Biden’s trip to Europe last week, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that, “the president is traveling to Europe to make sure we stay united.”That sure didn’t go as planned. This may have been the most disastrous – and dangerous – Presidential overseas trip ever.The US and its NATO allies have repeatedly proclaimed that “protecting Ukraine’s democracy” has never been about threatening Russia. Holding out NATO membership and sending billions of dollars in...

Washington Is Delirious With War Fever — For No Reason Of Homeland Security

Washington Is Delirious With War Fever — For No Reason Of Homeland Security

Economic, social and political dangers abound. That’s because Washington and its subservient mainstream media are delirious with war fever like at no time in the last seven decades. The resulting reckless pursuit of an unhinged Sanctions War against Russia poses a dire threat to the global economy and domestic prosperity and does so for no good reason of homeland security whatsoever. With respect to the latter, the sheer facts are overwhelming. So we repeat them with an added total for the...
