Is There a Risk That Kamala Harris Might “Go Soft” on Foreign Policy?

U.S. foreign policy strategies are not widely discussed publicly, and are viewed by the ruling-strata as vital and being of the essence.

Extraordinary Times: Biden renounces his election bid via in the slimmest of Sunday afternoon postings; retreats into a silence which finally is broken by a ‘long farewell’ pronounced from the Oval Office. Biden’s staff didn’t hear of his renunciation until a minute before his letter was posted. Then the internet was struck down by CrowdStrike, and the head of ...

You’ll Never Work in This Town Again!

“The kids are hooked on wokeness now. They’d be better off with cigarettes.” — Ian Miles Cheong on “X”

Did we just witness the suicide of Wokery? I think you saw what’s called, in the argot of progressive thinking, the “queering” of the Olympics. That was some spectacle. First, Death on a Pale Horse came galloping down the Seine River so that no one would miss the point of the symbolism to follow: the beheaded Marie Antoinette portrayed singing in the window of a flaming palais (revolution anyon...

Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and the Tottering American Empire

Collapsing empires may often flail about in strange fashion before they go into the darkness. Recent developments in American political life brought those thoughts to my mind.

With an American presidential election just three months away, we have seen a series of remarkable, sometimes unprecedented developments impacting who will spend the next four years sitting in the Oval Office and controlling our government policy.

Four years ago President Joseph Biden replaced Donald Trump in the White Hou...

America Is a Slave State: All the Rest of You Are the Enslaved

“Today we live so cowed under the bombardment of this intellectual artillery that hardly anyone can attain to the inward detachment that is required for a clear view of the monstrous drama. The will-to-power operating under a pure democratic disguise has finished off its masterpiece so well that the object’s sense of freedom is actually flattered by the most thorough-going enslavement that has ever existed.”

~ Oswald Spengler

The attitudes and accepted behavioral obedience practiced by Americans...

Why We Don’t Want Kamala

On Sunday, July 21, a letter appeared on brain-dead “President” Joe Biden’s Twitter account purporting to be a message that he would not be running for re-election but would continue in office until his term expires next January. Shortly thereafter, another post appeared that said he endorsed his DEI hire Kamala Harris as his successor. It is more than a little strange that Biden made no appearance on television to announce these momentous news items. It would not be surprising to find out that ...

Supreme Court Takes Two Steps Forward, One Step Back.

We can all probably agree that this has been one of the strangest Julys in memory. From the attempt on Trump’s Life to the Republican National Convention to the bizarre “coup” against Biden in the Democratic Party. With all this, it’s easy to forget some truly momentous events that happened this month.

For example, the Supreme Court recently handed down three decisions of particular interest to defenders of individual liberty and limited, constitutional government. In two of these cases, the cou...

US Presidential Races Hide The Criminality of the US Empire

The thing I hate about western electoral politics in general and US presidential races in particular is that they take the focus off the depravity of the US-centralized empire itself, and run cover for its criminality.

In the coming months you’re going to be hearing a lot of talk about the two leading presidential candidates and how very very different they are from each other, and how one is clearly much much worse than the other. But in reality the very worst things about both of them will not...

Where Matters Stand

The assassination issue has been reduced to operational failure and insufficient budgetary resources for the Secret Service, and the assassination has been moved aside by Kamala’s emergence as the Democrat candidate for President. The presstitutes are again speaking with one voice preparing the narrative of a close election that makes it possible to use the election theft mechanisms that have been legalized by the Democrats in the swing states.

Biden had to go because he was too discredited as a...

Media’s Version of Harris is Unburdened by History

Once again, the Democrats are offering up a woman candidate for president. And once again, it is an unlikeable candidate who owes her career to a far more skillful male politician. In Hillary’s case, it is her husband, Bill, a charismatic personality adept at the game. In Harris’s case, it was her lover Willie Brown who boosted her up the ladder and showered her with expensive gifts.

To say that Kamala Harris had an affair with a man more than twice her age, leveraged his fundraising prowess and...

The True Job of the U.S. Secret Service

As the U.S. Secret Service describes itself on its website:

We are one of America’s oldest federal law enforcement agencies, originally created in 1865 to stamp out rampant counterfeiting in order to stabilize America’s young financial system. By the end of the Civil War, nearly one-third of all currency in circulation was counterfeit. As a result, the country’s financial stability was in jeopardy. To address this concern, the Secret Service was established in 1865 as a bureau in the Treasury De...
