Another Child Sacrificed on Britain’s NHS Altar

I admit, my reaction to the plight of young Alfie Evans is colored by my experience with my own grandson, Joseph, who suffers from a similar disorder.

I see Joseph’s innocence in Alfie’s eyes, and I struggle with the marked physical resemblance between Alfie and Joseph at that age.  I also vividly recall the doctors counseling my daughter to abort her pregnancy, to save her child from suffering.

“He will likely live 18 months, certainly no more than three years,” they told us solemnly.  Josep...

The Murder of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” 
“Truth crushed to earth will rise again.”

—Martin Luther King Jr.

Within my newest book, Who REALLY Killed Martin Luther King Jr.? The Case Against Lyndon B. Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover, (Skyhorse Publications, May 1, 2018), I present what I refer to as the long-hidden “Rosetta Stone” of that case:  Proof that FBI leaders—in addition to what has long been known about how they surveilled and stalked Dr. King around the cou...

The Bombshell Heard Around the Auto World

Talk about a bombshell heard around the automotive world.

During its shareholder meeting this week, Ford announced it will be axing traditional sedans in North America. As in, goodbye future generations of the Fusion, Taurus, C-MAX, and Fiesta. The only cars that will remain past their current generations: the Mustang and the Focus Active crossover, which is due to arrive in 2019.

“Given declining consumer demand and product profitability, the company will not invest in next generations of tr...

The Political Complexion of America

“Together,” President Macron instructed President Trump, “we can resist the rise of aggressive nationalisms that deny our history and divide the world.”

Before Congress he denounced “extreme nationalism,” invoked the U.N., NATO, WTO, and Paris climate accord, and implored Trump’s America to come home to the New World Order.

“The United States is the one who invented this multilateralism,” Macron went on, “you are the one now who has to help preserve and reinvent it.”

His visit was hailed and...

Never Let Anyone Call You Crazy

There has still been no retraction or correction of The Guardian‘s demonstrably false and completely indefensible claim that two normal antiwar Twitter accounts were controlled not by real people but by bot programs based in Russia.

This is the sort of environment that has been created by the ongoing Russia panic that is plaguing the western world: one wherein mainstream news outlets can openly lie about dissenting voices and antiwar activists, refuse to retract or apologize for those lies, a...

Gold Leaving US Vaults

The Turkish government has made the decision to repatriate all of its gold reserves that are currently housed in the US Federal Reserve System (FRS). Overall Turkey was storing 220 tonnes, valued at $25.3 billion, in the US, which it repossessed on April 19, 2018.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has toughened his stance against the US dollar (USD), declaring that international loans should be made in gold instead of the American currency. Ankara is seeking to reduce dependence on the...

We’ve Become Greedy and Unproductive

‘Nothing lasts forever.’

Plain spoken and no-nonsense, this is a saying that governs all aspects of our lives. And when it comes to the markets, this impermanence is the shadow that is always lurking behind the scenes.

Vern Gowdie, author of The End of Australia, hammered in this point throughout his speech at Port Phillip Publishing’s Paradox of Prosperity conference. An event where influential financial thinkers from all over the world have come to put in their two cents about the state of...

The Anti-Bush Professor

Randa Jarrar, a professor of English at Fresno State, will not be fired for the harsh remarks that she tweeted following the passing of former First Lady, Barbara Bush.

And it’s a good thing too.

Jarrar wrote:

“Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal.”  She added: “F— outta here with your nice words.”

She added: “PSA: either you are against these pieces of s**t and their genocidal ways or you’re part of the problem.  That’s a...

More Psychiatry

In late September 2016, a few days after Nikolas Cruz turned 18 and became old enough to buy a gun, the Department of Children and Families sent one or more investigators to Cruz’s home. The Department had been alerted by  where the young man talked crazily about cutting himself and asked for help in getting a gun.

Among the many missed opportunities widely discussed in the media, here is one on the local level where the Department of Children and Families actually went to hi...
