The Truth About The Jews, The Christians, and The Palestinians

This article might offend everybody, but the links here are to the sources, and all of its sources are not only authentic when they are primary, but are true when they are secondary. (I have checked-out all sources within each secondary source that I link to.) Individuals who disagree with something here but don’t click onto the link to the documentation when they disagree, are not open-minded; and, for me, the first obligation is to be constantly open-minded, because only in that way can truths...

All Warnings Have Come True!

Even some of our brightest scientific minds are projecting that there is absolutely no positive future for our civilization if we stay on our current course.  Perhaps one of the reasons why our society has become so obsessed with short-term results is because most of us can’t bear to think about the long-term consequences of our actions.  I have a website that focuses on “economic collapse”, but it isn’t just the economy that is headed for catastrophe.  Virtually every aspect of our society is c...

The Trumpified GOP’s Great Big Ugly Debt Bomb

When it comes to the Donald’s Big Beautiful Bill there is one place, and one place alone, to start the discussion. We are referring, of course, to the built-in baseline of revenues, outlays and deficits under current Federal law and policy.

Needless to say, the latest CBO baseline amounts to a five-alarm dumpster fire. If Congress does nothing about entitlements, tax law or current funding policy for defense and nondefense discretionary programs, the annual Federal deficit will reach nearly $3 t...

First Signs We’ll Soon Be Eating Depression-Era Foods

I remember my grandma’s stories about the Great Depression – tales of scraping by on whatever food they could get their hands on.

Never thought I’d see anything like that in my lifetime. But lately? I’m not so sure.

“Out of stock.”

Three words that have become my grocery store nemesis. From sriracha to baby formula, it seems like nothing is sacred anymore.

My veggie patch which started as a pandemic project, is now my edible insurance policy.

With food prices doing the cha-cha skyward, it got me...

Christian Just War Theory: A Human Absurdity and a Possible Eternal Tragedy

If Jesus, God Incarnate, is not the ultimate norm for moral conduct for a Christian, who or what is? All Christian just warists, regardless of their status or standing in the Church or in the world, believe and proclaim that it is Jesus, who is with them, who tells them individually that it is okay to pull the trigger that discharges the bullet that rips off some other human being’s head.  For all Christian just warists, it is Jesus who ultimately says to the Christian, albeit through the minist...

Ukraine Negotiations Still Hover Around Its Root Cause

The most important sentence from President Trump about yesterday’s phone call between President Putin and him is this:

Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of.

The most important sentence by President Putin about yesterday’s phone call is this:

Notably, Russi...

US Imperialists Slow Down the Trumpist Revolution

Many journalists pretend not to understand what’s going on in Washington. For them, Elon Musk and Donald Trump are appropriating what they can from the federal government without changing anything. The reality is quite different: the President of the United States is trying to dismantle his country’s imperialism. He is destroying the agencies, both secret and public, that, under various pretexts, legally finance those who implement color revolutions and other coups d’état.

President Donald Trump...

The Day Freedom Ends

In 1776, the Americans had a wonderful new idea for a republic in which each state (a common word for “country” in those days) would exist independently of the others, whilst a federal government would be in place to provide a few additional services, such as the creation of a common currency and joint protection from foreign invasion.

Unfortunately, those who sought to be all powerful were at work almost immediately, hoping to increase the power of the federal government to the point that the U...

The Magical Mystery Tour That Wasn’t

It has been an interesting few days with the United States renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Persian Gulf while also doubling down on spying directed against Greenland in expectations that it will be acquired as a US territory sometime soon. Meanwhile, some of us who have been watching developments in what has been described as Donald Trump’s “peace initiative” trip to the Middle East, which might also have included a stop in Istanbul to sit in with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, are now e...

An Excellent Solution to a Pressing Problem

All but two governments in the world deny that the slaughter of Gazans and decimation of Gaza must stop. None – but these two governments – fund it openly, and applaud it behind closed doors.  The strip has been buried, along with many of its men, women and children, their belongings, their pets and livestock, in the dust and rubble of what was before.  Those living are now being starved and chased in circles by the truly pathetic IDF, stupidly sharing proof of their criminality on social media,...
