In the Year 2025

Faithful readers know that I saw Trump for the con man he is since he filled his first administration with CFR globalists. So, I knew he was no less a con man during his presidential campaign in 2024.

However, after the mindless malevolent presidency of Joe Biden, I never expected Trump to degrade the White House into even deeper depths of insanity after being elected last November. I was horribly wrong! Donald Trump is not only worse than Joe Biden; he makes Biden look like George Washington by...

Oklahoma City Bombing

I’ve watched the Carlson interview of Margaret Roberts all the way through now, and it is extremely powerful.  I have not had time to watch the Gingrich interview yet, so I’ll have to react to that one later.

It’s important to note, which you do with your touting of the Gingrich interview, that this Roberts book, Blowback: The Untold Story of the FBI and the Oklahoma City Bombing, is hot off the press, just having been published on July 22.  Anyone who might have had a little bit of confidence i...

‘Preemptive Nuclear War’: The Historic Battle for Peace and Democracy

This article was first published on March 9, 2022, revised and expanded on October 5, 2022, minor revisions on May 25, 2023.

Introduction

At no point since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on  August 6th, 1945 , has humanity been closer to the unthinkable. All the safeguards of the Cold War era, which categorized the nuclear bomb as “a weapon of last resort”, have been scrapped.

Let us also recall the unspoken  history  of America’s doctrine pertaining to the conduct of nuclear war. 

B...

Laconophilia

August is the month when I always write about Greece, where I find myself at present enjoying the Attic climate. This time Sparta is on my mind, perhaps because I’ve been thinking about the man in the white suit of late, and the Spartans were the ones who made him redundant. Death to a Spartan was like the proverbial cold, to be endured but not to be feared nor taken too seriously.

All my mother’s antecedents were Spartans. Her mother’s brother, whose name is honored by streets and squares in ce...

80 Years of Lies: The US Finally Admits It Knew It Didn’t Need To Bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki

As we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings, the world is drifting as close to another nuclear confrontation as it has been in decades.

With Israeli and American attacks on Iranian nuclear energy sites, India and Pakistan going to war in May, and escalating violence between Russia and NATO-backed forces in Ukraine, the shadow of another nuclear war looms large over daily life.

Eighty Years Of Lies

The United States remains the only nation to have dropped ...

The Never-Ending War on Drugs

Consider the following headlines that appeared in various newspapers, and especially notice the dates of the articles:

“Disgrace and Crime Sold Openly in Opium Market”: New York American, February 22, 1927

“Two Daughters Accuse Guitar Instructor of Giving Marijuana to Their Mother”: San Francisco Chronicle, March 26, 1940

“Black Men Versus the Drug Problem”: Metropole, November 9, 1969

“Nixon’s War on Drug Addicts”: Guardian, June 17, 1971

“Drug Lab Defendants Sentenced to Prison”: Waco Herald-T...

Ghislaine Could Give Trump a Chance To Break Israel’s Power Over America

According to media reports, Ghislaine Maxwell cleared Trump of having participated in sexual activities with underaged females.  The liberal-left will no doubt claim that Ghislaine lied in hopes of a pardon from Trump. 

This is typical nonsense from the American liberal-left.  Ghislaine Maxwell is the daughter of one Mossad asset and the lover of another.  Illusions are not her cup of tea. She knows that if Trump pardons her the pardon will be taken as proof that Trump was a participant in illic...

Roger Waters Composes a Timeless Hymn To Resistance and Perseverance

Roger Waters has got a brand new song. It’s called  Sumud . A ballad, but not just another ballad: actually a timeless Hymn to Resistance.

Roger Waters has got a brand new song. It’s called Sumud. A ballad, but not just another ballad: actually a timeless Hymn to Resistance. From now on, these sounds, and their rallying cry, should ideally straddle the global spectrum from Mali to Java, forging an already budding Global Resistance Alliance.

Gently, nearly whispering, setting up a Leonard Cohen-esq...

Responds to the Toughest Questions Facing Libertarians and Anarcho-Capitalists

International Man: Today, we’ll explore some of the most common criticisms of libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism.

Imagine two tribes. One is cohesive and tightly knit. The other promotes hyper-individualism. Which is likely to win in a conflict?

Doug Casey: There’s nothing wrong with forming cohesive groups. Humans have always been tribal because it’s conducive to survival. Many hands make light work. And specialization and division of labor—which is critical for progress—is only possible wit...
