Trump’s Three Greatest Betrayals So Far

Writing for Natural News, Lance Johnson wrote an accurate and concise summary of President Donald Trump’s greatest betrayals so far. There are three in number.

Betrayal Number One

From Gaza to Yemen: Trump’s expanding middle east slaughter.

Trump’s betrayal is most evident in his military escalation. After cynically criticizing Biden’s bombings, Trump has launched devastating strikes on Yemen, killing civilians under the pretense of protecting Red Sea shipping—a crisis manufactured by Israel’s b...

Let’s Delete Iran

The US is clearly massing military forces for what many experts believe will be a full-bore attack on Iran.  The big question, is this a part of President Trump’s usual negotiating strategy of bluff and bluster or the opening moves in a major war campaign against Iran?

Evidence to date strongly suggests that the US is heading towards a major war against Iran.  Under presidents Biden and Trump, Israel has achieved remarkable influence over the US.  Trump is surrounded by an ardently pro-Israel co...

Why Did the FDA Hide Vaccine Injuries?

A frequent criticism of corporations (which I believe also applies to governmental bureaucracies) is that their organizational structure encourages sociopathic behavior. This is because members of these entities are shielded from legal or personal accountability for their actions, with any wrongdoings being attributed to the corporation as a whole. In contrast, the main form of accountability most members face is the pressure to advance the institution’s mission (e.g., make more money), leading ...

NATO Is Breaking Apart

On April 2nd, Reuters headlined “US officials object to European push to buy weapons locally”, which means that Trump’s demand for Europe to increase greatly its ‘defense’ spending is, indeed, part of his plan to keep the boom in the U.S. stock markets going. This needs to be understood in the relevant context:

Though none of the mainstream press reported the fact in 2017, Trump started his Presidency in 2017 by making the biggest armaments-sale in history: $400 billion in U.S.-made weapons to S...

Who Owns the Gold?

“Economics, in its most elegant form, is the study of cause and effect.”—John Rogers, Voting in Context: A Brief Economic History of American Politics

In 1933, people thought the world was ending and urged government to do whatever it could to relieve the pain of the Depression. In compliance thereof, FDR issued Executive Order 6102 on April 5, 1933 “forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States.”

Note the word, “hoarding”—a word w...

Ending Militarism in America

read the news today, oh boy. About a lucky man named Elon Musk. But he lost out on one thing: he didn’t get a top secret briefing on Pentagon war plans for China. And the news people breathed a sigh of relief.

With apologies to John Lennon and The Beatles, a day in the life is getting increasingly tough to take here in the land of the free. I’m meant to be reassured that Musk didn’t get to see America’s top-secret plans for — yes! — going to war with China, even as I’m meant to ignore the consta...

We Are Facing the Most Dangerous Totalitarian Movement in History

Legendary award-winning filmmaker and political activist turned freedom fighter, Aaron Russo, left us an explosive legacy before his passing. In a never-before-seen interview that challenges official narratives and lays bare the hidden threads of power, this award-winning filmmaker and freedom fighter offers a chilling glimpse into how the global system operates from the shadows. In this 2007 interview with Alex Jones, conducted shortly before his passing after a prolonged battle with cancer, Ru...

They Tell You The Houthis Attack Ships, But They Never Tell You Why

None of the people applauding Trump’s war on Yemen because “the Houthis are attacking ships” will tell you why the Houthis started attacking ships.

The pundits won’t say, and the people don’t know.

After two weeks of interacting with people who support Trump’s war I can confidently say that none of them know why the war is happening. They know it has something to do with the Houthis attacking ships in the Red Sea, but they never have any idea why those attacks started happening in the first plac...

Wintour of Our Discontent

The irony of it is that we’re still living in the thick of so many of the left’s bad ideas and policies. Biological boys are still excelling in girls’ sports, and every Democrat in the Senate voted against a law to stop it. I could go on, but let’s look at how the media is reacting to The Donald’s Second Coming.

A New York Times columnist who is among the very few not suffering from a nervous breakdown after the last election wrote: “I think parallels with Nazi Germany are overdrawn; the word fa...
