TSA Tyranny Goes Cutesy

In the glorious age of the Kamala Ascendency, the TSA is no longer restraining its contempt for American travelers. After squeezing millions of butts and boobs and never catching a terrorist, TSA decided to have fun by taunting its victims.

After a traveler asked online, “Why does TSA need social media anyways?” TSA’s Instagram account taunted: “Idk Kyle, why do your friends keep bringing stuff they shouldn’t in their carry-on?” Almost 40,000 people liked that post (slightly fewer than the total...

Tyranny Is Closer Than You Realize

It is strange that there is no discussion of it, but in two weeks and one day on September 18 Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president in the November election in two months, is scheduled by a corrupt Democrat “judge” to be sentenced for 34 felony counts pulled out of thin air by a corrupt Democrat prosecutor for how Trump’s accountants reported an expense.

Trump’s accountants reported the expense as a legal expense, which was a reasonable classification of the expense, but the corru...

Pavel Durov’s Arrest: Intel Agency Intrigue?

On August 24, 2024 Pavel Durov—founder of encrypted free speech platform Telegram— was arrested in France on criminal charges relating to an alleged lack of content moderation on Telegram and refusal to work with police, which allowed the alleged spread of criminal activity. Durov holds French citizenship and was arrested at Le Bourget Airport in Paris while on a refueling stop in his private plane. I find this an intriguing detail, as it suggests he did NOT know that French authorities were dee...

Will Austrian Economics Became Another J6?

“Many of the attitudes and behaviors of psychopaths have a distinct predatory quality to them.” — Psychopathy: An Important Forensic Concept for the 21st Century

In this Age of War where anything that runs against the dominant narrative is considered mis- or disinformation, if not an outright lie, those promoting Austrian economic and political theory might find they’re wearing a bullseye on their backs.  With J6 already established as the State in action, dissent, especially of a fundamental na...

The Regime’s Wars Are Built on Lies

[From the July-August Issue of The Misesian.]

Americans are increasingly uneasy about their “national” security, and increasingly concerned that war is lapping at our shores. Instead of reducing the risk of harm to America and our interests, the federal government in Washington seems to be seeking it, investing in it, fueling it and lying about it.

Congress openly talks about fighting wars and reliably funds them, and we can easily verify that it’s piled billions of dollars into this particular ...

Trump and Harris Ignore a Great Danger Facing America

The Penn Wharton Budget Model, a think tank headquartered at the University of Pennsylvania, recently released a study claiming former President Donald Trump’s economic plans would add about four trillion dollars to the national deficit over ten years while Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic plans would add about two trillion dollars.
Vice President Harris would increase the deficit largely through expanding refundable tax credits such as the child tax credit. Low-income Americans can quali...

The West Truly Doesn’t See Palestinians as Human

You never see the dehumanization of Palestinians in western society exhibited so clearly as when something bad happens to Israelis during the genocidal assault on Gaza.

Today western officials are publicly weeping about six dead Israeli hostages, including one Israeli-American, who the IDF says were recently killed by Hamas.

Whoever’s been writing Joe Biden’s press releases for him published a statement about how “devastated and outraged” the president is about the death of the American hostage,...

International Warning of Societal Disruption or Collapse

Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. Now, for the first time, a global collapse appears likely. Overpopulation, overconsumption by the rich and poor choices of technologies are major drivers; dramatic cultural change provides the main hope of averting calamity.

This article was created for educational purposes and also, its continuation can help you better understand a social collapse that can hit us at any time!

Could a worldwide collapse o...

Trump’s Disturbing Support of IVF

Trump did not say he merely would tolerate the Brave New World of laboratory babies; he says now that he would make the government pay for anyone who wanted to conceive a family in a petri dish.

This year’s presidential campaign recalls a criticism Benjamin Disraeli said about some of his fellow Tories on the issue of the Corn Laws. When a member of Parliament advocated for a position the opposite of his party’s traditional stance, Disraeli said, “The right honorable gentleman caught the Whigs b...

Is Kamala Very Very Afraid?

“On many subjects important to public life today, vast numbers of people know the truth, and yet the official channels of information sharing are reluctant to admit it.” — Jeffrey Tucker

You might wonder, as I do, whether Kamala Harris can even stay in the race until November 5. Based on her grim appearance in last week’s “interview” with Dana Bash, slumped at the table of a crummy Georgia café under poor lighting, her trademark cackle suppressed, she looked psychologically wilted. Don’t be surp...
