Those Who Were Wrong About Gaza Should Admit It With Profound Humility

A liberal Israel apologist named Brianna Wu has made a mealy-mouthed tweet acknowledging the reality of what’s happening in Gaza that is so obnoxious I need to have a quick rant about it.

Wu, who has managed to translate her public attention from the 2014 Gamergate harassment scandal into a role as a pro-Israel spinmeister, tweeted a screenshot from a New York Times headline titled “Total Failure’: Israel’s Return to War Heaped Ruin on Gaza and Did Little for Israelis”, captioning it as follows:...

Why Is US Intelligence Providing Bogus Numbers of Dead Russian Soldiers?

I am sort of surprised that no one has done what I am going to do… Provide a realistic calculation of the actual number of Russian casualties since the start of the Special Military Operation in February 2022. This includes Killed in Action (KIA) and Wounded in Action (WIA). Sy Hersh, in one of his recent posts, was fed a line of bullshit by a US military or US intelligence source. I don’t blame Sy… He simply reported what he was told. He wrote the following about the current Russian offensive, ...

What Must Be Done for America To Survive and Prosper as a Constitutional Republic?

By definition, this article is polemic, advocating a major restructuring of government to comply with the Constitution and the laws of Economics. Two things must happen for us to remain viable. Trump’s programs must work …and I believe they will if we can defeat the Communist army’s attempt to stop it …and we must restructure our government Constitutionally. Both efforts must succeed, or we fail.

I have previously written that our Constitutional Republic has been mortally wounded by the Coup of ...

Why Classical-Liberal Constitutionalism Has Failed

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the party of laissez-faire and free markets—known today as “classical liberals”—often pushed a political program that included the adoption of written constitutions. The old liberals—such as the American revolutionaries and French bourgeois reformers—thought that written constitutions would offer a substantial barrier to abuses of state power.

The constitutional program of the classical liberals is not to be confused with its underlying ideology—wh...

Obama Judge Completely Blocks Planned Parenthood Defunding

A pro-abortion activist judge recently revised her own ruling and ordered the federal government to continue sending Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood and other organizations that kill innocent preborn babies.

Massachusetts District Judge Indira Talwani issued a revised injunction on Monday against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

A week prior, she had issued a partial block on the law, only allowing Planned Parenthood facilities and other entities that did not commit abo...

The Epstein Thing and Other Things

While most everyone is talking about the Epstein Thing, fewer are talking about the Palantir Thing or the Genius Thing, which may be one of the reasons for the Epstein Thing. As in, it’s another distraction from the important things.

Certainly it is important to know whether there is a high-level blackmail regime that leverages complicity in sex crimes the way the mafia leverages crimes such as murder. In order to become a made man the applicant must first do a piece of work; i.e., kill someone....

The Hypocricy of the ‘Rabbis’ Letter’ Against Exterminating Gazans

Many news-media throughout the world have reported on a “Rabbis’ letter,” which by now has over a thousand signers, and which opposes Israel’s starving to death whatever Gazans haven’t already been killed by Israel’s troops using the bullets and bombs supplied 69% from the U.S. and 30% from Germany. I haven’t seen in any of those news-reports a link to the document itself, but I finally found the letter in Polish, and autotranslated it by Google; and here it is, titled “The Jewish People face a ...

Is the Trump ‘Mystique’ Broken? Does MAGA Sense Betrayal?

The Epstein cloud is metastasizing and becoming a rallying point for deep-seated popular alienation.

The Epstein cloud is metastasizing and becoming a rallying point for deep-seated popular alienation from certain ruling strata. The public begrudgingly has become resigned to accept that their ‘rulers’ routinely lie and steal, but nonetheless they (particularly within the MAGA faction) have dimly come to understand that there may be vice within the body public which they regard as too detestable ...

What’s Wrong With USA Officials and Cronies? What Can People Do?

For many years, whether new lives would begin was determined by complex constraints, and then how long lives would last was limited by poverty, disease, and injury. More recently all of these constraints have been eased.

Vaccines started getting developed.

Genes were discovered, then got characterized, then started getting read.

People’s constitutional right to sue vaccine producers for harms was treated as nonexistent by most congressmen and a president, and by all subsequent majorities of cong...

‘Blind Ideological Zealotry’ Let EU Agree to This Trump Deal

The European Union and U.S. agreed on a trade deal which cements the vassalization of the EU:

After make-or-break negotiations between President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland, the pair agreed a US tariff on all EU goods of 15%.

That is half the 30% import tax rate Trump had threatened to implement starting on Friday. He said the 27-member bloc would open its markets to US exporters with zero per cent tariffs on certain products.

Von der Leyen als...
