Iran: A History of US and Israeli Jihad Using Terrorists

Israel is nervous.  Waiting.  Netanyahu wants a ‘pre-emptive strike’ inside Iran.  And we are still discussing whether this man is or isn’t absolutely insane.  Comparisons to Hitler are wasted on this vermin.  Hitler at least had a focus – the eradication of an ideology, communism.   Netanyahu’s focus is the eradication of people via Jihad.  Can the remaining secular Israeli’s convince Netanyahu to stop, or do they have the same glint in their eye every time they hear of more deaths?

The Video of James Copenhaver

All the videos of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump should be checked for their veracity and correspondence with reality.  The video from James Copenhaver has images that differ from reality exceedingly.  FOX 5 News says “this was the video Copenhaver took as the shooting happened.”  He was seated in the bleachers to the left of president Trump.  James Copenhaver says that he (Copenhaver) was hit by the second bullet.  The first bullet struck president Trump.  So, he would have been hit ...

The Era of Secession

Secession as a concept is regularly scoffed at by most individuals who have wielded power through the years. The general line one hears is, “How could the people possibly keep the peace without rulers deciding things for them?” As the world falls apart more and more thanks to the inept ruling classes, it is becoming clearer to common people that such disdainful rhetoric has no basis in fact. Many people are opening their minds to rediscover a principle which helped give birth to the American nat...

The Rule of Law and Property Rights

Respect for the rule of law cannot simply mean a moral obligation to obey legislation. History is replete with too many examples of tyrannical legislation for that notion to pass muster. But if the rule of law does not mean obeying whatever legislators enact, what does it mean?

Murray Rothbard argued that this question must be answered by reference to ethical guidelines, which he constructed around the concepts of self-ownership and property rights. Rothbard conceptualized property rights as ina...

Soldiers Do Have a Choice

On August 6, 1945, the United States detonated an atomic bomb (“Little Boy”) over Hiroshima, Japan. Another atomic bomb (“Fat Man”) was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9. It was the first and only time that nuclear weapons were used as weapons of war.

The bombs did not drop themselves. The first bomb was dropped by an extensively modified B-29 (“Enola Gay”) with a crew of twelve and piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets (1915-2007). The second bomb was dropped by a similar B-29 (“Bockscar”) with a crew ...

Why We Need a Weak President

Since the so-called presidential “debate,” it has been impossible for people to ignore what was already sufficiently evident. Biden is indeed brain-dead. But people are asking the wrong questions in response to this. They want to know, “If a president becomes incapacitated, how can he be removed? How can we make sure that presidential candidates are mentally fit for office? Should candidates be required to pass cognitive tests?”

These aren’t bad questions in themselves, but they neglect a much m...

FEMA Warns! There Are Very Few Areas in the US Safe From a Nuclear Attack

Here is a 1990 FEMA prediction, the last one FEMA made during the Cold War.

Could parts of the USA survive a nuclear war?

Not just ‘could,’ parts of the country would. Allen E Hall’s answer shows the destructive capability from Russia’s current arsenal.

In 1990, a FEMA analysis of a 6,139 nuclear strike on the United States (about 3 times Russia’s current arsenal) had more than half of the country’s population not only experiencing less than a fatal shockwave, but experiencing low radiation fall...

Netanyahu’s Assassination Spree

The United States and the Middle East are now enduring a crisis that can in part be traced to the failed foreign policies of President Joe Biden, who will be in office, barring unforeseen events, for six more months. The core issue has been Biden’s inability to understand the recklessness and depravity of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose hatred of Palestinians has now brought the Middle East and America to the brink of a war that is neither desired nor necessary. Biden also has f...

England Burning

Exactly one week ago, Axel Rudakubana, the 17-year-old son of Rwandan immigrants to the United Kingdom, killed three children and wounded eleven others in a stabbing spree at a community centre in Southport. In the days since, widespread protests and rioting have broken out across the UK. It is the worst disorder Britain has seen since the migrant riots of 2011.

From The Independent:

Over 400 people have been arrested after far-right violence swept across the country, with the prime minister set...

Hillary Clinton’s Endorsement of Kamala Harris

Two days after President Biden endorsed Kamala Harris for the U.S. Presidency, Hillary Clinton did likewise, by headlining in the New York Times, on July 23rd, “How Kamala Harris Can Win and Make History”. She said, “Ms. Harris’s record and character will be distorted and disparaged by a flood of disinformation and the kind of ugly prejudice we’re already hearing from MAGA mouthpieces.” I’m hardly a “MAGA mouthpiece,” and was active in the Democratic Party, both as a representative at my state’s...
