Political Circus in an Age of Authoritarianism and Global War

On July 13th there was a near miss assassination attempt on President Trump while campaigning in Butler Pennsylvania. President Trump’s defiance was inspirational to supporters. Meanwhile initial reports from government/corporate controlled media stated that Trump was ushered out of the area after falling after a loud bang. Remembering the Reagen reelection landslide after getting shot, the government/corporate controlled media is essentially pretending the assassination attempt did not occur by...

The Virus Was Safer Than the Vaccine. Whoops!

Executive summary

80% of my followers on X are unvaxxed. 20% took the shots.

I asked them a question: if you had a choice between being infected with the COVID virus or taking the jab, which one would you pick?

Here’s how they voted:

The devil appears and requires you to subject yourself to one of the two options listed below.

Which one would you rather have?

That’s the correct answer.

The virus is much safer than the vaccine.

This is one of the reason...

The Ardent Pipe Dreams of American Voters

“To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It’s irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober.”                        Eugene O’Neill, The Iceman Cometh

Voters in the U.S.A. live in fantasy and probably always will.  No matter how obvious it is that the U.S. is an oligarchy, not a democracy, the ardent pipe dreams of a new face in the White Ho...

The State of Israel as ‘Cartoonishly Evil’?

Last week I published an article on the dramatic events in domestic American politics, including President Joseph Biden’s sudden disappearance from the presidential race and the elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the candidate in his place. Nothing like this had ever previously happened in American political history and it came only a couple of weeks after a highly-suspicious assassination attempt had nearly killed former President Donald Trump, the opposing Republican candidate.

But a...

Netanyahu, and the Terrorist Zionists and U.S. Government, Should Be Damned!

“Ours is an age in which thousands are driven daily from their homelands by the unforgiving brutalities of war, terrorism, political oppression, starvation, disease, economic piracy, and the relentless suffocation of that singular breath which makes human beings individuals.”

~ Aberjhani

Zionist Israel is a terrorist state bent on genocide, warmongering, total destruction of peoples and cultures, and control and destruction of the U.S. and Middle East. The U.S. is also a terrorist state that is...

America Reaches a Sad Milestone

Last week the national debt reached 35 trillion dollars, a mere seven months after the debt reached 34 trillion dollars. To put this in perspective, the national debt first reached one trillion dollars in October of 1981, almost 200 years after the Constitution’s ratification!

The fact that the government was adding one trillion dollars in debt in little over half a year was not deemed worthy of comment by President Biden, Vice President Harris, and most other US politicians. This is not surpris...

The Dark Side of Hunger Mountain

T. H. Platt is one of the most knowledgeable people about the catastrophe wrought in rural regions all over the world. Everyone in the fight knows her. She put in time as director of The National Center for Public Policy Research’s Environment and Enterprise Institute and her family were fishers on the West Coast. She knows where every body is buried, in that hackneyed phrase, and she has written a novel which painlessly describes what has been going on.

August used to be a time to read novels, ...

An Infamous Ruling

May 12, 2004

Twenty years and three months ago I wrote an article on the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. This was the US Supreme Court decision that racially integrated public schools in America. Liberal elites saw the decision as a hallmark ruling for racial integration.

More importantly, it was the exercise of legislative authority by the Supreme Court and the substitution of coercion for good will and the will of the people. The court’s decision led to the Court pre-empting C...

The Left’s Apparent Coup d’état Against Trump, Version 2.0

Much to the Left’s chagrin, Donald Trump appears to be unstoppable.

The Dems and their allies have tried everything—impeachments, a stolen election, the Mar-a-lago raid, multiple bogus “lawfare” cases—to keep him out of the White House. Why wouldn’t they go for broke and try to kill him, as he’s clearly poised to become the 47th President of the United States?

Apparently, they did.

If so, this was their second coup d’état against him—this one coming in anticipation of his winning the 2024 electi...

The Trigger for WWIII Just Arrived – What Are the Implications for Americans?

If the year of 2024 has proven anything so far, it’s that our worries about the potential outbreak of WWIII are absolutely reasonable. The skeptics making accusations of “conspiracy theory” and “doom and gloom” have been proven wrong yet again. The geopolitical atmosphere is turning sour fast.

I still don’t think a lot of people realize how truly volatile the situation is globally right now. From my point of view, WWIII has already begun, at least in economic terms.

Let’s not forget the fact tha...
