When Proxy Wars Come Home

If we look long enough and hard enough, we might find an example of something in the US is not by the state, of the state and for the state.  But it’s becoming more difficult.

We live, if we live in the US, within a reverberating echo chamber of the bits of US foreign policy we can observe and understand.  Those bits relate mainly to trade wars, monetary wars, and proxy wars.  Each of these overtly externally directed “wars” echo in American streets and towns, across the land and into the center...

The Hoax of ‘Multiculturalism’

According to “Britannica,” multiculturalism is  “the view that cultures, races, and ethnicities, particularly those of minority groups, deserve special acknowledgment of their differences within a dominant political culture. See this. In fact, “multiculturalism is a gigantic hoax. The people behind it, including brain-dead Biden and his gang of neocon controllers, want to impose a totalitarian tyranny on us, telling us whom we can and cannot associate with. If you are white, you have no rights; ...

Spanish Newspaper Claims NATO Troops Are Active in Ukraine; Putin Agrees

The Spanish newspaper El Pais claimed that NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) troops are active in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees, and even further claims that soldiers from member states of the bloc are dying in large numbers.

Active and former military personnel from NATO states have long been operating in Ukraine, overseeing Kyiv’s use of Western-supplied weapons, El Pais reported on Monday, according to a report by RT. 

The US-led military bloc has been involved “in ...

Biden’s Hail Mary Budget Is Just Another Anchor Baby

Last week I was contacted by Sputnik News to give some comments on “President” Biden’s $7.3 trillion budget proposal. To be honest, having to read up on what was in the budget proposal was enough to ruin my day before it even began.

But, ever your humble(sic) servant, I endeavored to persevere and what I saw was typically horrifying, as always. And my quick conclusions were that this budget is a political wish list of a dying party to buy votes however and wherever they can.

The party I’m speaki...

The Voter Registration Scam, Hacked

You read this in February, but it is the last piece in the Election Fraud series, and I want you to have them all together. Absurdistan is having trouble with simple arithmetic – I found myself staring into space wondering if 2+3=5 – so will take a few days break. Next weekend you’ll get a two-part series on what is being done to stop this mess.

Thank you for all the new subscriptions and esp the paid subscriptions and most esp the notes accompanying the paid subscriptions. I read every single o...

Wake-up Call

“Those who organized the disaster will take advantage of the inevitable discontent arising from efforts to overcome it, for if there is one thing that they are skilled in, it is demagoguery.” —Theodore Dalrymple

Can you feel it? The tension rising to the red-line? It runs clear through all of Western Civ. We are ruled by governments of fiends. But now, the sun rides higher in the sky. The sap is rising in the northern forests. The earth heaves. The buds swell and blush. Something is in the air. ...

Meet the AI-Censored? Naked Capitalism

The future of AI-powered censorship is here, and the early returns are as error-filled and clumsily destructive as Google’s infamous Gemini rollout.

On March 4th, Yves Smith — nom de plume for the editor of Naked Capitalism, a popular site containing economics commentary and journalism — received an ominous letter from its ad service company:

Hope you are doing well!
We noticed that Google has flagged your site for Policy violation and ad serving is restricted on most of the pages with the below...

It Is Time To Stop Worrying About Allegedly Right-Wing ‘Political Extremism’

A response to Jeremy Stern’s Tablet Magazine article, “Can Germany’s Far Right be Stopped?”

German politics is like being in trapped in a truck that some time ago jumped a red light and ran over a bunch of pedestrians. “That was terrible!” the driver exclaims. “Indeed, we shouldn’t have done that!” his passengers agree. “We must make sure we never do that again!” the driver intones. “And to be sure we never do that again, we need to put as much distance between ourselves and that intersection as...

A Lecture on State Militias and the Second Amendment

The is the second of two lectures I recently gave for the Free Enterprise Society at Oklahoma State University. In this talk, I examine origins of the Second Amendment in the English Civil Wars and how English opponents of absolutism preferred local militias to a national standing army. I look at how the Second Amendment was supposed to serve a similar purpose and ensure that each state possessed enough independent military power to counterbalance federal military power. Unfortunately, the indep...
