Lastingly Burdened by What Has Been

Early in my legal career, I represented a high-security prison that wanted to suspend, for six months, a guard who, while bored and sitting alone in a watchtower one night, took his shotgun and blasted a hole in the wall.

While the guard claimed the shooting was accidental, the gun’s safety was shown to have been intentionally disengaged. At the end of a half-day hearing, the judge concluded that the guard had violated work rules. But instead of suspending him for six months, the judge concluded...

Women of Mass Destruction

I love women. My head still turns whenever a good looking girl (yeah, I know that’s somehow an offensive term now- add it to my list of Thought Crimes) walks by. That doesn’t happen nearly as much as it used to, given the deteriorating state of so many females in America 2.0. As the probably forbidden old song said- I’m a girl watcher.

So don’t mistake me for a misogynist. I’ve always preferred the company of the fairer sex. They may not generally be as fair as they used to be, but they’re still...

Kamala & Walz: American Communism via Woodrow Wilson

MEDIA:  Tim Walz backed illegal immigration!   ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS:   We will vote for Walz.  Twenty million under Biden and counting.  

Walz is upstaging even Kamala in his cackling dances and wide girth of gesturing while his wife waves in awe to all the applause she appears to believe is all for her.  She is drawn into the melee of audience worship like a rapper on crack.  Walz is most deceivingly NOT a democrat.  His ideology is half Communist and half Zionist.  Communist fiscally and Zionist...

Princeton Historian: Just Get Over Watergate Already!

Historian Julian Zelizer writes that Watergate-style investigations are OK sometimes, but we shouldn’t go overboard in being mistrustful of the government. After all, “faith in government,” Zelizer writes, “is necessary for a healthy society.” As Rothbard notes below, the watergate scandal was an excellent event precisely because it undermined faith in government. Zelizer, however, tells us to “banish the memories of Watergate” so we can get over all this unhealthy suspicion of government. Write...

The Great Vanishing of Information

Today this publication hit a milestone I never imagined could happen—it passed 100,000 subscribers. I am a big believer in the Golden Rule (treat others as you would want to be treated) and since I started writing this publication two and a half years ago, one of my principal goals has been to create a newsletter I would want to read (which is why I can only produce two emails a week).

One of my central reasons for doing that was that I realized that even though the internet was getting “bigger”...

Saundra Spencer and the JFK Assassination: Telling the Truth

Critical thinking about the JFK assassination often breaks sharply into several opposing camps.

THE ASSASSINATION DEBATE

The first camp accepts–with some minor reservations–the fundamental conclusions of the Warren Commission, that is, that Lee Harvey Oswald was the “lone assassin” and that he fired three shots from the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) wounding Governor John Connally and killing  President Kennedy.  It also holds that there were no frontal shots, no illicit t...

US Troops Get Hurt in the Middle East Because of the Government Who Put Them There

Looking forward to the countless western media headlines and denunciations from western officials framing the coming Iranian retaliatory strikes on Israel as a completely unprovoked attack, like history began in that exact moment and Israel did nothing to warrant such aggression.

❖

Western officials like Antony Blinken and David Lammy have been urgently going on about the need for “de-escalation” in the middle east. You’ll never see western officials as opposed to escalation as they are when Isr...

Who Caused the Ukraine War?

The question of who is responsible for causing the Ukraine war has been a deeply contentious issue since Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

The answer to this question matters enormously because the war has been a disaster for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is that Ukraine has effectively been wrecked. It has lost a substantial amount of its territory and is likely to lose more, its economy is in tatters, huge numbers of Ukrainians are internally displaced or have fle...

Everybody Knows the Captain Lied

USA 2 Weeks away from ”Armageddon”?

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost

Leonard Cohen – Everybody Knows

Having heard this Leonard Cohen classic on the radio a few days ago, the lyrics have been rattling around in my head as a perfect description of the dystopian horror show we are experiencing in the world today. The song has a dark, foreboding, cynical tone, capturing the sense of ...

A System Reset Seems Imminent

The idea the world would be better served with a single “World Currency” has been growing and looms as a real possibility in the near future. Many people see this as a major part of the “endgame” or something that will constitute a needed reset to a global economy and financial system that has gone off track. Throughout history, before an economic collapse, the masses and society tend to believe things are financially stable. Only after the economy goes over the edge of an abyss and is in free-f...
