Britain Is Proof: Globalists Plan To Use Migrants as a Mercenary Army Against The West

Why do western officials insist on gaslighting the public on illegal border crossings? Why do they attempt to destroy anyone that publicly opposes mass immigration from the third world? The laws on the books support the public’s majority position on immigration – Come here legally or don’t come here at all. In Europe, the UK and the US polls show a majority of citizens want reductions in immigration and better border security. Yet, government officials, who often claim to be “protecting democrac...

U.S. Hypocrisy on Supposed Iranian Meddling in the U.S. Election

The FBI is warning Iran not to meddle in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. That’s rich given that it was the U.S. government’s meddling in an Iranian election that is the root cause of the perpetual, ongoing, never-ending animosity between the two regimes today.

While U.S. officials and U.S. interventionists love to point to the 1979 Iranian revolution as the start of the adverse relationship between Iran and the United States, that’s only because they are loathe to recognize wrongdoing o...

Self-Determination, Imperialism, and Secession

This article is adapted from  a lecture presented on August 3, 2024 at Mises University 2024  in Auburn, Alabama. 

The full name of this talk is “Self-Determination, Imperialism, and Secession: 3 Sides of the Same Coin.” So, I abuse the metaphor a bit, be we might also say that self-determination and secession—and self-determination’s opposite, imperialism—are three ways of looking at the same object.

The defense of self-determination is well-established within the so-called “classical” liberal tr...

Our Hawk Tuah Presidential Race

Too many Americans have become accustomed to voting for the “lesser of two evils.” Few seem to question just why we only have candidates of varying degrees of evil to choose from. Surely, with over 350 million citizens in America 2.0, we ought to be able to come up with a presidential candidate, once in a while, that isn’t evil.

Those of us who were awake in the 1990s thought that Bill Clinton would be hard to beat, in terms of evilness. I mean, the Body Count alone really puts him on an impress...

The Dangerous Tim Walz

Kamala Harris is bad enough, but stress on her manifest deficiencies should not make us lose sight of the problems with her running-mate, Governor Tim Walz of Wisconsin, who would become president if Kamala were elected and something happened to her.

Walz is a “progressive” of the worst sort, close to being an outright communist. During the notorious Geroge Floyd riots after BLM (Black Lives Matter [but White Lives Don’t] nearly destroyed Minneapolis and St. Paul, Walz allowed the BLM to run ram...

The Party Line Is a Mighty Squishy Line

“I’ve never heard her [Kamala Harris] say anything original or observant; at her best, she simply recites the party line. At her worst, she’s too lazy to memorize the party line.”— Lionel Shriver

Does anybody know what this shape-shifting chimera passed off as “our democracy” actually is? I will tell you. Like everything else in the Democratic Party’s tool-bag these days, it’s the opposite of what it appears to mean, namely: You, the demos, give us, officialdom, the power to take whatever we lik...

Disaster and Opportunity

The Mandarin word for “crisis” is weiqi. But weiqi is actually two words – the first, “wei,” meaning disaster and the second, “qi,” meaning opportunity.

For thousands of years, the Chinese people have understood that disaster and opportunity come in the same package. Whenever a period of dramatic change is unfolding, the Chinese people recognise that change, in addition to potentially bringing disaster, also presents opportunity.

To the western mind, crisis is a negative condition only, and as p...

What Is AI Really? Digital Illusions, False Promises, and Mass Reeducation

Much fanfare has been lavished on the concept of Artificial Intelligence in the past five years to the point that its primacy is treated in the media as a forgone conclusion. The idea that algorithms can “think” has become a pervading myth, a sci-fi fantasy come to life. The reality is much less impressive…

We continually hear from globalists at the World Economic Forum and other elitist institutions that AI is the catalyst for the “4th Industrial Revolution” – A technological singularity that w...

FOIA Files: How Feds, Press, and Academia ‘Coordinate’ on Speech

In March 2023, the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public (CIP) put out an article asserting that the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) — comprised of the CIP, the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO), Graphika, and the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) — was not a “government cut-out” controlled by the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

Racket has sent out numerous Freedom of Information (FOIA) r...
