Biden and Trump Battle Over a Rattle

“Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.”
-Lewis Carroll, Through The Looking-Glass

Once you understand that profound poem, you are ready to fathom the great debate between our dumb and dumber candidates for the Highchair in the Oval Office.

In light of Julian Assange’s release from an English prison and President Biden’s dementia-riddled debate performance against dumb-mouthed Donald Trump – Tweedledum and Tw...

Pumping and Dumping Vaccines

Common Sales Strategies

Because of these three things, I in turn see the same strategies used in business to drive profits again and again shape the practice of medicine.

For example, a profitable business is built around ensuring recurring sales of high margin products. One way to describe the vaccine program is that the CDC’s schedule is a vehicle for ensuring that, as once a vaccine is on the CDC’s schedule, millions of annual sales are guaranteed in the US alone.
Note: typically the most agg...

Praxeology and Animals

Many academic fields are devoted to reconstructing reality, to make reality fit their socialist ideals better. Those who wish to reconstruct reality argue, for example, that there is no reason why some animals should be regarded as “wild.” They argue that we should seek “new ways to think and act in a world dominated everywhere by human power and activity” and that there is no reason to exclude the animal world from that enterprise. Instead, “we have a responsibility to protect ‘wild’ animals fr...

Biden’s Potemkin Legacy

$35 trillion in US public debt matches – to the dollar – Washington’s war spending since 2001.  It’s been trillion a year, in inflation-adjusted dollars, a trillion a year in fake MICIMATT money for over 20 years.

The neocon wars have nothing to show for these trillions, except wasted uninhabitable cities and land, billions of angry people, and the priming of brand new warfronts.  A normal empire profits from its forays abroad, and uses its dominating presence to enrich its people. But the US Go...

We Need Ron Paul—Not the Lesser of Two Evils

After the presidential “debate,” some people argued like this: We can’t support Biden. He is obviously brain dead. Besides, we couldn’t support this dangerous left-winger anyway. We’re stuck with Trump, like him or not. At least, he’s better on some issues. But we shouldn’t think like this. Both Trump and Biden are bad, but there is one person who has all the right policies, from a libertarian point of view. This person is our greatest living American, Dr. Ron Paul. In what follows, I’ll explain...

Is Jill Biden Lady MacBeth?

Some may want to praise Jill Biden for standing by husband Joe after his dementia-affected debate performance last week. But in reality she’s standing on him, say critics — in a quest to maintain her prestige and power.

And one of these critics is Mrs. Biden’s ex-husband, a man who says that Jill 2.0 is “not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way.”

Many Americans fed the lie that Joe Biden was functioning well — see this X thread (in which I participated) about a Newsweek write...

Americans Are More Likely To Go to War With the Government Than Submit to the Draft

In a national poll last month Americans were asked if they believed a new civil war was likely to happen within their lifetime. The establishment media was shocked to report that 47% of the population said yes. Those of us in the liberty media were not so surprised; I believe according to the evidence that we were already a short step away from civil war in 2021-2022.

There were A LOT of guys (millions) getting ready for the possibility of vaccine passport enforcement. Gun ownership in the US hi...

Vatican Says Archbishop Viganò ‘Guilty’ of Schism and Excommunicated

Pope Francis’ Vatican announced it had found former Nuncio to the U.S. Archbishop Viganò ‘guilty of the reserved delict of schism’ on July 4, and that consequently he is automatically excommunicated.

The Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) announced July 5 that it had declared former U.S Nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò to be guilty of “schism” and automatically excommunicated.

In a statement issued without warning to the Holy See press corps, the DDF stated that its Cong...

I Remember When We Had Control of Cars

Recently I came across a November 2015 issue of Road & Track. It contains an article comparing the 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 350, a muscle car of its time, with the 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 350R, a muscle car of its time.

The 51 years difference allowed the 2016 version to reach 60 miles an hour from a standing start 3.1 seconds quicker and allowed a 51 mph higher top speed.

The 2016 version cost 14 times more and weighs 860 pounds more. In addition to inflation I suspect the additional wei...

This Civilization Is Deeply Unnatural

There is nothing natural about this. The way things are. The way we are living. If this was the natural and healthy way for human society to exist, it wouldn’t require mountains of propaganda spin to keep it going.

Without copious amounts of mental narratives being fed to us by people in power, it would never occur to anyone that it’s a good or normal idea to commit to wars of aggression on the other side of the planet, or to back genocides, or to militarize globally with hundreds of military ou...
