Why Does Tylenol Cause Chronic Illnesses Like Autism?

Last week, President Trump was scheduled to give remarks on the potential causes of autism. Shortly beforehand, the press became aware Trump would focus on the link between Tylenol and autism (which some theorized was due to NIH scientists leaking that information), resulting in the national media collectively ridiculing that link immediately before the press conference. Possibly in response to this, the President then gave a very different press conference, which was arguably what the autism co...

Is Tren De Aragua a CIA Operation in Order to Justify an Attack on Venezuela?

You will likely ask: Why is your headline about Venezuela but you begin your article by discussing the new leader in Syria? A fair question, and here is the simple answer: Given the massive buildup of US forces off the coast, is the supposed threat posed by Tren de Aragua genuine, or is it an intelligence operation designed to create a justification to carry out a regime change in Venezuela?

We know from publicly available evidence that the CIA has a history of providing support to radical Islam...

The Real Jan. 6th Coup

In my first column after the events of Jan. 6th, 2021, I criticized those who called the protest a “coup,” pointing out that, “Some of the same politicians and bureaucrats denouncing the ridiculous farce at the Capitol as if it were the equivalent of 9/11 have been involved for decades in planning and executing real coups overseas. In their real coups, many thousands of civilians have died.”

The media at the time played up the violence committed by a relative few at the protest to stoke a nation...

Fidelity to Faith, Family, and Country Is Surging From a Great Revival That Can’t Be Defeated.

Everyone knows that the Evil Ones operate a Criminal Enterprise within the Federal Government by bribing government officials and bureaucrats. The Evil Ones consist of the Jewish Lobby, Media, and Deep State, aka Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class Wealthy Families. They are the ones responsible for Waste, Fraud, Abuse, Bribes, Kickbacks, Deaths of our military, Deaths of Millions, Destruction of entire countries, Wars for profit, Inflation, Wars without a Declaration of War, all manner of Crimes ...

The Two Greatest Movies on Urban Machine Politics Ever Made

An urban political machine is a party organization led by a powerful “boss” or a small group that commands enough votes to maintain political control of a city, county, or state. During their peak in the Gilded Age (1870s–1900s), machines exploited rapid urbanization and large immigrant populations by providing essential services in exchange for political loyalty and votes. Though the classic version has declined, some aspects have persisted in modern forms.

The Principle of Proportionality

Social justice warriors often suppose that since they are advancing “justice” they are entitled to do whatever they deem necessary to defend their cause. Any atrocity they commit should be viewed sympathetically because, after all, they are on the side of the angels. In the public discourse on crime and punishment, they argue that if the criminal is a victim of “systemic racism” this means he should always be understood primarily as a victim of injustice who deserves compassion. As reported in a...

An Assembly of Generals

It’s rare in peacetime, a meeting of all your flag officers in one place – and even more rare when a country is at war. The first question we must ask our generals and admirals, and our brand spanking new Secretary of War, is “Are we at war?”

This question – frankly pertinent and simultaneously impertinent – would stymie our American generals and those who lead them into harm’s way, and more commonly, down dead end streets, over the cliffs of insanity, and into fire swamps.  Like former Presiden...

Constitutionalists’ Workflow Is Freedom

“173 despots would surely be as oppressive as one.” — Thomas Jefferson, 1787

Ten-year budget negotiations misdirect politicians, commentators, and voters. Politicians talk about saving in the future while they act to spend and inflate now.

Projecting spending is executive power. Even so, congressmen and presidents claim that it’s legal that they require that projections be made by a congressional budget office.

Any spending projections need to foretell politicians’ future actions as closely as p...

The Climate CO2 Hoax – What ChatGPT Won’t Tell You

In the book CO2 Climate Hoax – How Bankers Hijacked the Real Environment Movement I provide evidences and testimonies from renowned international climate scientists that contradict the UN assertion that climate change is caused by CO2 emissions. I also refer to the conclusion of over 2,000 climate scientists and climate professionals at the Climate Intelligence Foundation that the climate changes naturally and slowly in its own cycle, and that CO2 emissions or methane from livestock, such as cow...

How Power Elites Facilitate ‘Lone Gunman’ Assassinations (Without a Patsy)

There is a current clash of explanatory stories in the media about whether the public slaughter of right-wing youth political activist Charlie Kirk was a professional hit conspired by power elites or the act of a lone gunman. Note, I term Kirk’s murder an assassination because his Turning Point USA organization has a massive IRS 501-C-3 tax exempt Political Action Committee (PAC) reportedly funded with $40 million to influence elections. Moreover, the suspected gunman’s own text included an admi...
