Refugee. Dissident. Enemy of the State. Would ICE Have Crucified Jesus?

Homegrowns are next. The homegrowns. You gotta build about five more places [like the CECOT prison]. It’s not big enough.”—President Trump on his desire to send American citizens to a megaprison in El Salvador, beyond the reach of U.S. courts and the Constitution

It has begun, just as we predicted, justified in the name of national security.

Mass roundups. Raids. Indefinite detentions in concentration camps. Martial law. The erosion of habeas corpus protections. The suspension of the Constituti...

The NWO Religion: How The Woke Postmodern ‘Faith’ Glorifies Evil

It’s not as if it was ever a secret: The very core of the woke movement is fundamentally rooted in evil. The general definition of “evil” being a conscious act of deception and destruction, the deliberate victimization of others for the sake of personal power, pleasure and gain. When I try to imagine what a religion of evil might look like I consistently come back to the far-left woke movement along with its rabid mantras, agendas and self righteous narcissism.

The majority of human beings have ...

Trump Axes a Stricken World Order – But There’s Opportunity Amidst the Turmoil

Trump’s actions were neither ‘spur of the moment’, nor whimsical. The ‘tariff solution’ had been pre-prepared by his team over years.

The Trump ‘shock’ – his ‘de-centring’ of America from serving as pivot to the post-war ‘order’ via the dollar – has triggered a deep cleavage between those who gained huge benefit from the status quo, on the one hand; and on the other, the MAGA faction who have come to regard the status quo as inimical – even an existential threat – to U.S. interests. The sides ha...

Potential for War With Iran—and the Financial Shockwaves That Could Follow

International Man: Tensions between the US and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions are reaching a boiling point.

How likely is it that this long-simmering standoff erupts into a full-scale war?

Doug Casey: Iran has been an adversary of the US ever since the overthrow of the Shah in 1979 and the capture of the US Embassy.

It’s unlikely to get better anytime soon, not least because the country is ruled by mullahs, Shia clergy. Iran is a theocracy. And that leads us to another problem. So is Israe...

Federal Spending Is Only Going Up: Trump Pushes Trillion-Dollar Defense Budget

President Donald Trump last week announced new plans for a $1 trillion defense budget in 2026. Trump bragged about his big plans for spending ever larger amounts of taxpayer funds, stating at a meeting with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu that “We’re going to be approving a budget, and I’m proud to say, actually, the biggest one we’ve ever done for the military … $1 trillion. Nobody has seen anything like it.” An increase in military spending to $1 trillion is a funding increase of more tha...

Foreign Student Persecution Imperils any American Who Advocates for Freedom

“If it is known that authorities have power to coerce, few people will wait for actual coercion,” economist Friedrich Hayek wrote in the 1956 foreword to his 1944 classic, The Road to Serfdom. Hayek’s insight could be the Rosetta Stone for understanding the Trump administration’s censorship zealotry.

On March 25, six masked federal agents seized a Turkish graduate student on the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts. Rumeysa Ozturk—who was wearing a hijab—was a Fulbright scholar working on a doct...

Growth of Ukraine’s Azov Units Follow Path of the Waffen-SS

The rise of Nazism in Germany was accompanied by the rise of its armed militants. These were used to fight opposing political parties and militia formations. They were ruthless.

The units were later known as the Waffen-SS:

After release from prison Hitler decided that he needed a paramilitary group to protect him personally. That group should be steadfastly faithful and loyal to him alone; not least to protect him from possible SA intrigues. Therefore Hitler established a personal bodyguard in h...

The Circumvention of Habeas Corpus

The most profound and ominous aspect of the controversy surrounding the deportation of Kilmar Ábrego García to El Salvador is that the Trump administration has figured out a way to circumvent the right of habeas corpus, not just for foreigners but also for the American people.

Why is that important? Because without habeas corpus, a right that stretches all the way back to Magna Carta in 1215, there is no free society. As British and American legal scholars have maintained for centuries, habeas c...

Twin Death Cults: Covid Vaccine Program & U.S. Proxy War in Ukraine

Those who created SARS-CoV-2 and concealed its true origin are part of the same Military-Industrial-Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex that created the mRNA vaccines. This is approximately the same Complex that persistently baited the Russian Bear into taking military action in Ukraine so that the U.S. could wage a proxy war against Russia, using the bodies and blood of Ukrainian men to fight it.

This morning I saw talk of conscripting Ukrainian women to add the nation’s females to the cannon fodder. Re...
