Recent Events Prove Western Nations Are Highly Vulnerable to Cyber Calamity

This article was written by Brandon Smith and originally published at Prepper All Naturals

As most people are aware, this month there was a sweeping internet outage across the US which led to a failure in roughly 8.5 million Microsoft Windows devices. Disruptions included banks, airline networks, emergency call centers, online retailers and numerous corporate networks. The outage is estimated to have caused at least $5.4 billion in profit losses and it only lasted about a day.

The alleged cause ...

Democrats Lose Effort to Block Cornel West from Michigan Ballot

For months, we have been  the concerted effort of Democrats to bar challengers to President Joe Biden from primary ballots and block third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Cornel West from appearing on the November ballots. As both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris insisted that “Democracy is on the ballot,” their allies sought to deny the ability of voters to cast their ballots for other candidates. Now, a state judge has issued a stinging denial of the effort of Democratic ...

The Western Way of War – Owning the Narrative Trumps Reality

German equipment visible in Kursk has raised old ghosts, and consolidated awareness of the hostile western intentions toward Russia. “Never again” is the unspoken riposte.

War propaganda and feint are as old as the hills. Nothing new. But what is new is that infowar is no longer the adjunct to wider war objectives – but has become an end in and of itself.

The West has come to view ‘owning’ the winning narrative – and presenting the Other’s as clunky, dissonant, and extremist – as being more impo...

Violent Zionism – The Tomb of Jewish Souls

Friends,

Fifty years later this remains one of, if not the most, insightful presentation on the Israeli and Jewish soul and heart as manipulated, sabotaged, disfigured and murdered by Zionist’s evil. Do take the time to read it, ponder it. I know of no piece authored by anyone in the Church in 2024 that matches it spiritual profundity, historically validate prophetic power and courageous truth telling.

RFK Jr. and Donald Trump: a Good Fit

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. launched his campaign for President of the United States in April 2023 as a Democrat, like both his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and his father. Shunned by President Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), he opted to quit (in October) the Democratic Party and campaign as an Independent. Then last week he gave a speech to the media titled “RFK Jr. Address to the Nation: Full Disclosure,” where he announced his decision to stop his campaign and support D...

Natural Law and Rothbardian Liberty

Natural law is often regarded with suspicion by social scientists because they conceptualize human nature, and increasingly even the nature of animals, as a social construct. In their view there is no essential human nature by reference to which we can decide what is in the best interests of society. They argue that we must instead adopt an aspirational approach, by constructing a better and fairer world for the planet, and by discovering what is best for society through a process of scientific ...

The Coming of the Roman Tax Collectors

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire has been written about many times over the last two millennia, most notably in Edward Gibbon’s six-volume set of books of the same name.However, one significant aspect to the decline began in the fourth century that has received little attention from those who have written on the overall subject.

At that time, an exodus occurred amongst the farmers and merchants. They abandoned the “centre of all commerce” and moved to the north, to live amongst the barba...

We’ve Left the Bottom 60% in the Dust, but Never Mind: S&P500 to 6000!

So here we are, with a handful of winners declaring the system is working great and high-fiving each other, too busy congratulating themselves to see the tsunami of karma racing toward shore.

It’s a toss-up which is wider: the widening gap between the top 10% and the bottom 60%, or the gap between the complacency of the top 10% and the reckoning that’s overdue. Call it karma, just desserts or the wheel of history, the unfairness and inequality of a rigged system generates blowback, and the longe...

Uncertain Trumpets: Cardinal Cupich and Pope Francis

Two events of recent days have scandalized me. Both were symbolic gestures and included the exchange of platitudes but also created an ambiguity about the Church’s teaching that is stretched to obfuscation.

The first symbolic event was when the pope sent a new nuncio of Venezuela. In case you don’t pay attention to Latin American dictators, there was a presidential election in Venezuela that almost everyone but the victors considers fraudulent.

The novelist and journalist Jaime Bayly commented o...

Looming ‘Clean’ Energy Disasters Off Our Coasts

Photos of oil-covered seals and birds from California’s 1969 Santa Barbara blowout helped launch the environmental and stop-oil movements. Some 90,000 barrels polluted ocean waters and yet, when I was scuba diving beneath it two decades later, the same production platform support structure once again hosted a magnificent ecosystem with millions of anemones, mussels, starfish, crabs and fish.

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon drillship disaster killed eleven workers and blasted 3-4 million barrels of oi...
