Endless Empire? Despite Peace Deal US To Remain In Afghanistan

Those hoping for a US withdrawal from Afghanistan after 18 years of pointless war and a new peace deal with the Taliban are going to be disappointed. According to press reports, the US will be keeping more troops in Afghanistan than it is removing. Will 8,000 troops in country achieve what 100,000 could not achieve just a few years ago?

Fake MAGA, Fake Market (Part 1)

By David Stockman

We don't put a lot of stock in the CNN/MSM running meme that the Donald is a fount of
endless lies.

Most of what they call "lies" are debatable facts and factoids about propositions they
don't like---such as the truth that the Russia Collusion/Meddling story has not only
been bogus from day one, but was actually an attempt by the Dems and their Deep State apparatchiks to unconstitutionally reverse the outcome of a presidential election.
But there can be no doubt that the Don...

USS Gerald Ford - A $13 Billion Boondoggle

The US Navy's newest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald Ford, is so over-budget and riddled with errors that it's practically useless. Never is it asked whether we need such a ship for the defense of this country. It is about spending and maintaining steady growth in the defense industry. Our own safety and security are completely irrelevant to the military spending juggernaut. And it's not just this carrier...

Forget the Russians: It’s the Federal Reserve Seeking to Meddle in Our Elections

By Ron Paul

The US Constitution never granted the federal government authority to create a central bank. The Founders, having lived through hyperinflation themselves, understood that government should never have a printing press at its disposal. But from the very beginning of America’s founding, the desire for a crony central bank was strong. 

In fact, two attempts were made at creating a permanent central bank in America prior to the creation of the Fed. Fortunately, the charter for The First...

Record High Military Suicides Continue - What's The Real Cause?

The Pentagon has unveiled a new plan to combat record high military suicides, including more government bureaucracy and record-collecting. But is the US government missing the real point on military suicides? Are they so determined to treat the symptoms that they are blind to the cause?

Beware (And Prepare): The American Empire Is Collapsing

When empires fall, they do not go down gracefully. The collapse is sudden and the consequences are permanent. Like the schoolyard bully who is finally defeated, his former victims and enemies revel in his fall. The US empire is now teetering on such a collapse. The signs are all around us. Aggressive US foreign policy, self-destructive monetary policy that debases the currency and hides inflation, a monstrous national and individual debt load. The writing is on the wall and the wise are prepa...

Delusions of Grandeur: Socialism Is A Fool's Errand

It's hard enough to plan and manage one's own individual life, is it not? It's foolish to think you can even plan the life of another single individual...You can't!...But to believe that you can plan the lives of hundreds of millions of people? This is a complete fantasy!

Dudley Picks A Fight With Trump: 'The Fed Can Sink Your Re-Election'

The Federal Reserve should not exist. This week, ex-NY Fed President Bill Dudley picked a fight with President Trump, insinuating that the Fed can sink Trump's re-election. Central planning is an absolute failure that has financed the growth of the biggest government on Earth! Sound money (not monopolized money by government) must make its return. It's time to End The Fed.
