CIA “DOGE us, there will be consequences”

Writes Gail Appel:

Leaked to CNN. Followed up with they “might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service”.

Where is John Ratcliffe? These “disgruntled” former employees were given 10 months severance pay, a hefty “ buyout” chunk of change, full retirement benefits and are likely to move on to cushy jobs with Teneo, Brookings Council, Aspen Forum, McKinsey or any number of other  CCP backed “ private security” and “ consulting” firms. Or Soros NGOs.

No consequences- gu...

Spring’s Frightful Awakening

“The left became hideously, ostentatiously, unapologetically corrupt (as ruling parties tend to do). They sold out bigtime and got bigtime rich. You want to know why none of them want to cut waste anymore? because they’re the ones stealing it.” — El Gato Malo on Substack

In my quiet backwater of the Hudson Valley, an early spring drives all creation violently. The peaceful sleep of winter ends in twitches and spasms. The ground breaks open like one big egg and all living things emerge: green ...

The Root Cause of Every Issue

The X account of one Rupert Lowe MP (@RupertLowe10) comments on the ills of immigration. He refers to his homeland of the United Kingdom. (emphasis added)

I look at what uncontrolled mass immigration has done to our country, and I just get so very depressed.

It’s THE root cause of almost every issue.

Put simply, there are far too many low-skilled migrants who take FAR more than they give.

That’s an awkward, but undeniable fact.

Mr. Lowe makes a great point about immigration being problematic. M...

Do Vaccines Cause Autism?

Ask any federal health official—whether from the FDA, CDC, NIH, or National Cancer Institute—if vaccines contribute to neurological damage or autism, and their response will be unequivocal: No, there is no evidence of any association. In fact, they might find the very question offensive. After all, these agencies have access to unlimited resources, the brightest scientific minds, and cutting-edge research facilities at institutions like Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford. If there were any cre...

What Would Be Used as Currency in a Post-SHTF World?

“Currency” only has meaning when there is the luxury of a marketplace. If the world is in survival mode then there is no marketplace, there is only survival.

A reasonable example of this was the Pilgrims in Massachusetts between 1620 and 1660.

When the Pilgrims arrived here, they did not use “currency”. There was no marketplace. They were too busy doing what it took to survive to buy and sell. The few tools and small amount of food they had was parceled out according to rules that they had: if y...

Libertarian Literary and Media Criticism: Essays in Memory of Paul A. Cantor

This collection of essays by experts in diverse fields applies libertarian philosophy and free-market economic theory to literature and media. The volume proceeds largely according to the chronological order of the works under consideration, moving from sixteenth-century literary texts and drama to comic books to contemporary cinema and television series. Several chapters bring to bear the contrast between capitalism and statism, mostly focusing on the workings of the market economy versus centr...

The CDC Reveals ACIP Members’ Conflicts of Interest. It’s Just the Tip of the Iceberg.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one of the 13 agencies Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy oversees, last week quietly linked to a database (via an X post) that lists conflicts of interest within the CDC’s powerful vaccine decision making committee — the Advisory Commission on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

The post on the agency’s website last Friday is part of Kennedy’s drive to promote ‘radical transparency’ within HHS. While refres...
