The Israeli Warlords & The CIA – Election 2024

Nikki Haley is popping up on Tweeter as a ‘presidential candidate’- Vivek Ramaswamy claims that The GOP is going to take down Trump and insert the war hawk – Haley.  That’s The Game.  A woman from Ukraine is on video explaining the BOT room in Kyiv that is used to infiltrate social media – TikTok and Instagram primarily – with CIA propaganda feeds.  Zionists claim that ALL of Palestine is their land and has been for 2000 years.  And the ICC has put out an arrest warrant for Netanyahu resulting i...

Fire in the Soul: Nick Lyons

With lilacs in the dooryard blooming a week ago, I was struck by a sense of synchronicity so strong that I stood stone still and sniffed the air for its direction.  I had just written a little essay about my youthful days and the first fish I caught at the age of ten and my subsequent basketball obsession.  Now I was out for an early morning walk up the hill by the lake above the town across from the railroad tracks.  As I dawdled in the intoxicating fragrance of the lilacs, it transported me to...

What Is Mass Migration for, Why Does it Keep Happening, and Why Will Nobody Stop It?

You might have noticed that mass migration to the West is a huge problem.

It is very bad for native Westerners, because it promises to transform our societies utterly, in permanent ways and not for the better. Curiously, it is also far from great for the centre-left political establishment responsible for promoting mass migration, because it has inspired a vast wave of popular opposition and filled the sails of right-leaning, migration restrictionist parties with new wind. Mass migration is also...

The Gospel Versus Gandhi

Last week, a local charter school held its small graduation ceremony. As is the custom at such events, a number of speakers took the stage by turns, each delivering beautifully crafted paragraphs of wisdom, humor, and reflection. The head of school, the principal, a teacher, the salutatorian and the valedictorian all spoke; and this was followed by the official speaker—one who, in this case, was an Ivy League lecturer and author.

For several weeks, the school had promoted the upcoming graduation...

The Problem Isn’t Civil Disobedience, It’s Civil Obedience

Our society does not have an antisemitism crisis. It doesn’t have a crisis of far left radicalism, Islamist extremism, support for terrorism, or fomenting of dissent by foreign powers.

Our society has a moral crisis. A cruelty crisis. An imperialism crisis. A militarism crisis. A propaganda crisis. An insincerity crisis. A stupidity crisis. An obedience crisis.

Empire managers and imperial spinmeisters try to pretend there’s some horrifying existential emergency involving hatred of Jews or love ...

Russia Is About To Overrun Ukraine’s Defenses – Why Are There No Peace Negotiations?

There are two classic propaganda narratives used by governments when it comes to keeping the public invested in any war campaign that does nothing to advance their national interests:

First, there’s the “commitment” lie, which says that once you step in to support a war effort you then must stay exponentially committed, even if that war effort is exposed as pointless. Anytime the public pulls back from that war in a bid to reconsider what purpose it serves they are ridiculed for potentially “ris...

Christians, Muslims, and Jews for a Secular One-State Solution in Palestine-Israel

Jerusalem  in Palestine-Israel is a holy city for Christians, Muslims, and Jews.  If we can solve the problems in this region of the world, everything else will be a piece of cake. What happens in Palestine-Israel has repercussions throughout the world, which is why it is so important to learn more about Zionism, imperialism, and the Middle East crisis, especially now considering the catastrophic situation in Rafah, Gaza. 

The first World Zionist Congress was established in 1897 by Theodore Herz...

A Rothbardian Dissection of Javier Milei – Part II

Milei and the Chances of Privatization

Though privatizations have not yet arrived, the state-owned airline is on the agenda. The company was renationalized in 2008, forcing taxpayers to prop up an airline that has been directly bailed out by the government since 2021. For true privatization, all regulation prohibiting competition and all taxation in the industry should be abolished—falling short of this, it should come with deregulation and less taxation. Milei has proposed to ...

Excellent Talk from John Mearsheimer on the State of Israel v. the Palestinians

Last week, John Mearsheimer presented an excellent summary on what is going on in Israel since the October 7 Hamas attack. Mearsheimer is one of the most insightful foreign policy scholars working today. Naturally, he is virtually ignored by the Washington establishment which is more concerned with obeying the foreign-policy blob and the Israel Lobby. Mearsheimer, of course, famously worked with Stephen Walt to author the important 2007 book The Israel Lobby which describes the remarkable degree...

Migraines Strongly Associated With High Estrogen and Low Thyroid

Migraines affect an estimated 12% of the American population and is the second leading cause of disability worldwide.1 Worldwide, as many as 1 billion people are affected,2 making migraine the third most prevalent illness in the world.

They can strike both young and old, but most sufferers are women. According to research,3 migraine prevalence begins to rise around puberty and continues to rise until 39 years of age, after which it decreases again. Menopause frequently offers migraine relief for...
