The Word ‘Terrorist’ Becomes More and More of a Joke by the Day

British police arrested nearly 900 people over the weekend for expressing support for the peace activist group Palestine Action. Under UK law it is illegal to express favorable opinions about the group because London has deemed Palestine Action a terrorist organization, in the same category as ISIS or Al Qaeda.

At the same time, the Trump administration is defending its assassination of a boat full of Venezuelans on the allegation that they were “narcoterrorists”, an imaginary category designed ...

Trump DOJ Continues Resisting Epstein Disclosure

There are new reports suggesting that the Trump Justice Department (DOJ) is trying to keep information about Jeffrey Epstein secret.

On Friday, the DOJ asked a federal judge to deny a media request for the names of two people who received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Epstein in 2018. The DOJ cited privacy concerns as its primary reason for objecting, according to court documents. And the day before that, James O’Keefe’s undercover journalism outfit, O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), published ...

Could Trump End Up Triggering the Globalist ‘Great Reset’?

This article was originally published on Birch Gold Group

The news feeds were buzzing last week over the recent meeting between Russia, China and India at the Chinese port city of Tianjin. Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi made sure to present a unified front at the event, at least in economic terms, and it’s clear that China and Russia’s military ties are solidifying. The Shanghai Cooperation Gathering is being treated by the media as a warning to the US in the face of accelerating t...

America’s Department of War – Mere Symbolism or Bad Omen of Things To Come?

On September 5, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename the Department of Defense (DoD) to the Department of War (DoW). As one of the justifications for this change, Trump pointed out that the founders of the United States established the DoW as such to “win wars, inspiring awe and confidence in our Nation’s military, and ensuring freedom and prosperity for all Americans”. He also claimed that the US supposedly “won the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II”. These hig...

People Have Unrealistic Trust in Governments

The Battle of the Somme lasted for 141 days  from July 1, 1916 until November 18, 1916.  The battle consisted of a French and English offensive against the German lines.  

The battle began with a week-long artillery barrage that was supposed to destroy the barbed wire and German trenches, but in fact turned the land into craters and a muddy morass across which troops could not advance in order.  The German machine guns cut down the British and French troops sent to certain death by totally incom...

Nine Meals from Anarchy

In 1906, Alfred Henry Lewis stated, “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy.” Since then, his observation has been echoed by people as disparate as Robert Heinlein and Leon Trotsky.

The key here is that, unlike all other commodities, food is the one essential that cannot be postponed. If there were a shortage of, say, shoes, we could make do for months or even years. A shortage of gasoline would be worse, but we could survive it, through mass transport or even walking, if necessar...

Why Donald Trump’s Tariff War Is Not Working

When the history of the Donald Trump presidency is written, his ill-advised scheme to tariff the world will be seen as one of the most self-destructive acts by a president in the history of the United States. Following up on my article from yesterday, which dealt with why the tariffs on India backfired, I realized that I had no clue about the exact nature of US trade and that of the BRICS countries. So I turned to GROK and Perplexity AI for answers. Not only will this exercise inform you about U...

Has Trumpenstein Left the Building?

Donald Trump’s second presidency has been on a downward spiral ever since he exploded at a question regarding the Epstein List, and started calling it a Democratic Party “hoax.” His Justice Department told the public, presumably with a straight face, that there was no Epstein List. Move along, nothing to see here.

Since I last wrote about our Giant Orange hero, he attempted to deflect criticism of the Epstein List comments ( with Trump becoming perhaps the world’s first Epstein Denier), and his ...

The Future of Gaza as Seen From the White House

President Donald Trump, who had snubbed Benjamin Netanyahu when he came to ask him to annex Gaza, is reportedly preparing to take control of the Palestinian territory. While Tel Aviv prepares to annex the entirety of Mandatory Palestine and, on the contrary, Egypt and Jordan have the keys to the Palestinian Authority, a vast real estate operation worth $100 billion is being considered.

President Donald Trump convened a meeting at the White House on August 27 to gather suggestions for the future ...

RFK Jr. and HHS: Autism Is Linked to MMR Vaccine, Tylenol Use During Pregnancy

A Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report commissioned by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. indicates Tylenol use during pregnancy is one factor contributing to the U.S. autism epidemic, according to media reports.

Sources close to the matter said low levels of folate as well as the use of the acetaminophen-based drug will be named in the forthcoming HHS autism report as among potential causal factors behind autism.

Kennedy, secretary of the HHS, told Fox and Friends last week that his agency w...
