RussiaGate, COVID-19, and Criminal Psychology

Some my old friends and family members have asked me if I believe that President Trump was justified in accusing former President Barack Obama of committing treason.

Underlying their question is the thought, Surely Obama wouldn’t have dared to commit such a brazen act against the Constitution, the electoral system, and the American people.

Ordinary citizens have always struggled to recognize that the ruling class has always been in the business of sustaining and augmenting its power and wealth, ...

CIA Director Refers Comey, Brennan, and Hillary Clinton for Criminal Prosecution

In the summer of 2016, months before the public was hit with a barrage of headlines about Donald Trump’s supposed electoral collusion with the Russians, American intelligence agencies had already learned of a plan by Hillary Clinton to plant that erroneous narrative into the mainstream. Nevertheless, top-ranking intelligence chiefs did nothing to unravel Clinton’s plan. Worse, according to the current director of the CIA, they magnified that false claim.

The Russia Collusion hoax was not only a ...

Austrian Perspectives on Social Justice

Fiat justitia, ne pereat mundus—Let justice be done, lest the world perish. With these evocative words, Ludwig von Mises sets justice at the heart of his treatise on free market capitalism, Human Action. Echoing the importance of justice, in Law, Legislation and Liberty Friedrich von Hayek described “rules of just conduct” as “the indispensable foundation and limitation of all law.” Hayek considered it important that, “Government certainly ought to be just in all it does.” But what role does the...

Statists and Conspiracy Theories

I find it absolutely fascinating how died-in-the-wool statists simply cannot bring themselves to accept that their beloved national-security establishment orchestrated and carried out the assassination of President Kennedy.

The statist mindset can be summed up with what I call the “Inconceivable Doctrine.” Statists believe that it is just inconceivable that the national-security state would assassinate a U.S. president, even if protecting “national security” required it. Therefore, no matter how...

Lefties, Illegals, and Minorities Are Finally Experiencing ‘Consequence Culture’

Travel back in time to the year 2021 and you might find yourself in the middle of a bizarre debate over the virtues of “cancel culture”. At the time the political left was aggressively trying to secure long term power within the US through a multi-pronged psychological offensive – A war on the minds of the masses designed to force Americans into submission.

A big part of their strategy relied on the fundamentals of Cultural Marxism: The combination of Marxist mob tactics, artificial consensus an...

They Intend To Keep Lying About Gaza Until They’ve Emptied It Out

We’re back at the part of the news cycle where Israel tells the world it’s going to allow a bit more aid into Gaza in order to mollify its allies and reduce the public outcry as images of starving children draw objections from the west.

This is just Israel giving the Kier Starmers and Anthony Albaneses of the western world just enough of an excuse to go silent about the starvation of Gaza again. They will then continue starving Gaza. This psychopathic python-like suffocation tactic is how Israel...

The Firestorm Over Trump’s Refusal to Release the Epstein Files

Several months ago, the Trump Administration fulfilled one of its campaign pledges and declassified a large batch of JFK Assassination files, finally making them publicly available after sixty-odd years.

Few of these unredacted documents seemed to contain anything new or interesting, with the most dramatic memo being the report that longtime CIA Counter-Intelligence Chief James Jesus Angleton had a very close relationship with the I...

Nobody for Fed Chairman

President Trump has recently suggested that, unless Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell cuts interest rates, the president might revert to his The Apprentice days and tell Powell, “you’re fired.”

President Trump backtracked on firing Powell after the president’s comments caused stock markets to fall. However, it is almost certain that President Trump will not reappoint Powell when Powell’s term ends in May.

Media reports indicate the leading candidates to replace Powell include Treasury Secre...

The Tyranny of Nice: How We Traded Virtue for Vibes

People are drowning in the shallow waters of self-esteem. For decades, the high priests of pop psychology and the wardens of politics have peddled a dangerous gospel: that feeling good about oneself is the highest good.

This therapeutic tyranny, whispered from leather couches, insists that self-worth is a prize to be given, not an honor to be earned.

Has the public been sold a bill of goods? Our elites swap the cheap sugar of affirmation for the red meat of character. This isn’t a mere misstep b...
