How to Fact-Check Techno-Feudalism?

There are auspicious signs on the other side of dystopia. And right here in Russia.

The Global Digital Forum last week in delightful Nizhny Novgorod represented a landmark in the quest for a more equitable media landscape across the whole Global South.

Pride of place was taken by a new ambitious association, the Global Fact-Checking Network (GFCN). The last session of the forum was focused essentially on how to fight all the toxic declinations imposed by the post-truth anti-cultural ambiance – a...

Los Angelos’ Anti American Insurrection Riots

The riots and insurrection in Los Angelos, and now being promoted to spread nationwide, are apparently against the United States of America’s right to exist as a sovereign nation. The rioting is in response to enforcing immigration laws. This is a position that runs contrary to the concept of self government. A people through their government must have the right to decide who can or cannot become part of it.

Florida Congressional Representative Ana Paulina Luna, who recently introduced a bill to...

Today Is the Anniversary of JFK’s Declaration of War

June 10, is the anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s declaration of war against the national-security branch of the U.S. government. To be sure, he didn’t call it that. He simply was delivering a speech at the June 10, 1963, commencement exercises at American University. The speech has gone down in history simply as JFK’s “Peace Speech,” but in essence it was a declaration of war against the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA.

JFK delivered his speech at the height of the Cold War, the period ...

EU Members’ Response to President Trump

The NATO summit in The Hague could mark the end of the European Union. The President of the United States has announced that he may no longer be responsible for the EU’s security. If this were the case, there would be an urgent need to reorganize the stability of the European continent. Washington already has its solution: replacing the current German-based structure with a structure centered around Poland.

On June 24, the Netherlands will host the NATO Heads of State and Government Summit. This...

The Spectacle of a Police State: This Is Martial Law Without a Formal Declaration of War

Reporter: “What’s the bar for sending in the Marines?”

Trump: “The bar is what I think it is.“

In Trump’s America, the bar for martial law is no longer constitutional—it’s personal.

Indeed, if ever we needed proof that Donald Trump was an operative for the Deep State, this is it.

Despite what Trump would have us believe, the Deep State is not the vast numbers of federal employees who have been fired as part of his government purge.

Rather, the Deep State refers to the entrenched network of unele...

Leftists Devastate Los Angeles With Fiery Riots Against Trump Immigration Policy

LOS ANGELES – Violent and fiery riots unfolded throughout the weekend in Los Angeles as left-wing activists set cars on fire and caused significant damage as they protested Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. In response, President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to quell the violence.

Much like with the violent Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, Democrats were quick to rush to call the violent and “fiery” protests “peaceful.”

By Saturday, Los Angeles Police Department officers ha...

Russia Seeks ‘Asymmetrical’ Response for Strike on Its Nuclear Assets

There is some confusion over Russia’s response to the June 1/2 attacks on railway infrastructure and its strategic nuclear forces.

To recap:

On Saturday/Sunday Ukrainian diversion groups used explosives to destroy two Russian railroad bridges in the Kursk and Bryansk region. These bridges were located some 50 kilometer north of the Sumy region frontline. The hits will impact, if only for a short time, the railway bound supply of Russian forces north of Sumy.

One of the bridge explosions destroye...

Trap Door Spider

I regularly see an armed government worker – some people still bound by their government school conditioning would use the word “policeman” – who likes to hide by the side of an old building up the road from my house; he snugs his vehicle up against the side of the old building and in the shade of a big tree so that it is very hard to see him.

He sits there quietly, like one of those trap door spiders that hides in a little burrow so its prey cannot see it, waiting for the prey to get close a . ...

Is Putin’s Soft Approach Bringing War in its Train?

“If Mr. Putin genuinely wants to save the lives of his soldiers and of his civilians then he should end the war conclusively and dramatically right now. This, I believe, is well within his power if he has the will and the vision to act as the situation requires.” — Gilbert Doctorow

I am pleased to see Gilbert Doctorow’s concurrence with my longstanding position that the greatest threat to peace is Putin’s reluctance to bring the conflict in Ukraine to a quick decisive end. Putin’s ongoing war is...
