Face To Fasces

“Destiny’s powerful hand has made the bed of my future, and it’s up to me to lie in it. I am destined to be a superhero, to right wrongs, and pound two-fisted justice into the hearts of evil-doers everywhere. You don’t fight destiny. No sir! And you don’t eat crackers in the bed of your future, or you get all… scratchy. Hey, I’m narrating here!” — The Tick, 1994

As a freelance writer and editor, I work on a lot of high-level international documents. Though they are freely available on the interw...

Will the DNC’s Craven Grab for Young Voters Backfire?

There has been a renewed wave of scrutiny in recent weeks over Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s unlikely campaign – and the extent to which her party is shelling out fat paychecks to young influencers to spread the “Gospel of Kamala” to their thousands of followers.

Rather than earn the votes of her party, Harris benefitted from a last-minute swap-out with the support of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). She was handed the nomination in a late-night “virtual roll call” in...

The Marriage of Blessed Karl and Princess Zita

Editor’s note: today is the feast day of our patron, Blessed Emperor Karl. When Pope St. John Paul II beatified Emperor Karl (Karol Wojtyła’s own namesake, in fact), he chose October 21st as his feast day, which is the anniversary of Karl and Zita’s wedding. Here we publish an excerpt from the biography written by our contributing editor, Charles Coulombe, with the kind permission from TAN Books.

[T]he emperor [Franz Joseph] called Charles to Vienna for a heart-to-heart talk. There had been rumo...

The Danger Is Real: The Deep State’s Plot to Destabilize the Nation Is Working

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out … without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” — H. L. Mencken

If the three-ring circus that is the looming presidential election proves anything, it is that the Deep State’s plot to destabilize the nation is working.

The danger is real.

Caught up in the heavily dramatized electoral s...

Here’s What Happens When You Go Without Power for 7 Days

I don’t know if you’ve ever lived through a major power outage, but I have. I live in a hurricane zone, so I guess it’s no surprise that I would end up suffering through a hurricane sometime. The one I got wasn’t one of the big, sexy ones which brought in FEMA agents and lots of non-profit agencies to help us recover, but it was bad enough that it took a week for our power to get back on, so we could put our lives back together.

You don’t really realize how much you need electric power, until yo...

Of Pizza, Politics, and Pedophilia

Note: I don’t normally post previously published articles here, but while trying to find something for my other Substack (djeffries.substack.com), where I normally post them, I was impressed by how well this one holds up. It’s from December 2016, from my old blog, donaldjeffries.wordpress.com

Since I wrote this eight years ago, Alex Jones went on to issue an embarrassing public apology to James Alefantis, and disavowed “Pizzagate.” Steve Bing, who is mentioned in this article, went on to either ...

A Tale of Two Amendments

According to BallotPedia, “160 statewide ballot measures have been certified for the ballot in 41 states for elections in 2024.” All but 13 of these will be on the November 5 ballot.

Although there are six ballot measures in my state of Florida, most of the media attention has been on just two of them. Amendment 3 legalizes the recreational use of marijuana. Amendment 4 provides for a state constitutional right to abortion before fetal viability. A 60 percent supermajority vote of approval is re...

The Total Madness of the State of Israel

I’ve often suggested that our media functions as a powerful tool of mind-control, not too dissimilar from what might be found in the plotlines of classic science fiction. After spending weeks or months immersed in such a controlling narrative, thinking independent thoughts let alone completely breaking free becomes a very difficult undertaking. For most individuals, the whisper in the back of their skulls overwhelms their logical reasoning, while their emotional reactions are turned on or off as...

Please Help Prevent a Medical Miscarriage of Justice

Note: yesterday, we put together a viral Twitter thread to bring attention to this case. Today, two pro-freedom Republican lawmakers are using an unprecedented subpoena to overturn the conviction. Please consider reaching out to both of them directly about this (here and here) or indirectly on Twitter here to support their efforts and create legislative pressure to overturn this execution.

In this publication, I have made the case that there is over a century of evidence that sudden infant death...

Why Should We Fight Wars for Ukraine and Israel?

When you take on the role of the world’s policeman, don’t be surprised when countries who cannot fight their own wars call “911.” That is exactly what is happening to the United States on two fronts and it is bankrupting our country, depleting the military that should serve our own national interest, and threatening to drag the US into World War III.

Last week, Ukraine’s “president” Vladimir Zelensky publicly presented his “Victory Plan.” It was delusional: immediate NATO Membership for Ukraine,...
