What an Awful Choice!

This week’s presidential debate made me both horrified and dismayed. Here was the world’s most powerful nation trying to decide which elderly candidate to select as its presidential candidate. Maybe the best expression is ‘cringe-worthy.’

Joe Biden was left looking feeble and halting before the bombastic Trump. At least Trump made some sense in what he said whether true or false. The former president’s mouth is his biggest enemy as well as his strongest point.  Biden was shockingly inarticulate....

Defending Gaza (II): Israel Indicted, Palestinians Validated In Fact, Law & Hoppean Argumentation

READ PART I: “Defending Gaza (Part I): Natural-Law Principles Vs. National-Interest Statism”

Israel is engaged in the mother of all performative contradictions: denying genocide, while committing genocide, all the while demanding the right to genocide.

The Jewish State is genocidal not because it has been denounced as “genocidal” by ostensible “antisemites” and “terrorist sympathizers,” but by virtue of its actions. Israel is genocidal by virtue of what it has done to Gaza, the people and their...

Odds Are High You’re Going To Need Your Survival Supplies in the Next Few Years

his article was written by Brandon Smith and originally published at Prepper All-Naturals

In 2020 at the onset of the covid pandemic scare and right before the lockdowns I’ll never forget going on a grocery run on a Friday afternoon only to find near empty roads and near empty stores. The few other people shopping had a glassy stare in their eyes, like they were dazed or shell-shocked. For me and those I know that prep, it was just another day; for those that hadn’t prepped it was a nightmare of...

Maybe Anything Is Possible

It’s easy to get so lost in all the emotion and controversy and discussion about the details of Assange’s case and his plea bargain that you forget to appreciate the fact that an impossible thing just happened. That this was a historic event which very few of us believed was ever going to occur — until it did.

And I don’t know about you but I personally find this all rather humbling. I never voiced my dark pessimism about the future of Assange’s plight publicly because it’s important to push ha...

Project 2025: Heritage Foundation Blueprint for President Trump

Project 2025 is a proposal written by various authors within the Heritage Foundation as a blueprint for how a Trump presidency might radically alter our current government.   Progressive democrats and rhinos hate the proposal, so I thought it might be worth a read.

While I agree it is a radical proposal, sometimes radical is a necessary solution.

According to Wikipedia, this is their interpretation:  “Critics of Project 2025 have described this as an Authoritarian, Christian Nationalist plan to ...

10 Geopolitical / Financial Risks to the Global Economy

Perhaps the most apt metaphor to describe the decade ahead is that investors, consumers and taxpayers will all be rafting whitewater rapids with ever-briefer stretches of calm.

Geopolitical / financial risks are proliferating and becoming more difficult to predict or hedge for a very basic reason: the era of global integration and accord has ended and the era of global disintegration and discord is heating up. In historian Peter Turchin’s terminology, when everyone finds reasons to cooperate, th...

Biden to Officially Deploy American Military Contractors to Ukraine as WWIII Looms

Supposedly to help speed up the maintenance and repair of the American weapons systems being used by the regime of President Volodymyr Zelensky, the administration of President Joe Biden is planning to deploy American military contractors to Ukraine.

Four United States officials familiar with the matter reportedly told CNN that the policy is still being worked on and has not yet been signed by President Biden.

“We have not made any decisions and any discussion of this is premature,” one regime o...

11 Signs That the U.S. Economy Is in Far Worse Shape Than Most People Think

Unless you are living under a bridge or you are eagerly drinking the kool-aid that the mainstream media is dishing out, you probably understand that the economy has been struggling.  Survey after survey has found that the American people are deeply dissatisfied with how the economy has been performing, and as a result it has become the number one issue this election season.  But even though a large portion of the population is not happy about how things have been going, the truth is that the sit...

German CDC Documents Show Politics Drove Covid Response, Not Science

Executive summary

I simply cannot believe that the mainstream media is ignoring this huge story.

After multiple rounds of FOIA requests and court orders, documents very reluctantly released by the RKI in Germany (the equivalent of our CDC) showing that health officials deliberately lied to the public about the dangers of COVID and the COVID vaccine so that the government wouldn’t cut their funding.

Worldwide press blackout on this story. You aren’t supposed to know.
