Do Trump, Netanyahu, and Their Ilk Believe They Are Virtuous?

That the United States of America is controlled by a criminally perverse, two party ruling class should be obvious to any reasonable (not rational, for the above-named people are very rational) person not living in what Jean-Paul Sartre, the French existential writer, called bad faith (mauvaise foi).

Bad faith is based on Sartre’s premise that people are radically free despite social and biological constraints; in each person’s consciousness they sense this but choose to play games, to perform f...

Fascism & Wars Blamed on Deflation Gap Are Not Inevitable, But…

“We’re going to win so much, you’re going to get tired of winning…I’ve always won, and I’m going to continue to win. And that’s the way it is.” – Pres. Donald J. Trump (note: fiat money-created inflation makes super billionaire winners at the expense of everyone else)

“Deflation creates a great number of losers…but also many winners…and (especially) punishes political entrepreneurs who thrived on their intimate connections and those who control the production of fiat money” – Jorg Guido Hulsmann...

So Long, American Dream, It Was Good To Know You

George Carlin once cleverly noted, “That’s why they call it the American Dream- because you have to be asleep to believe it.” By the time he said that, it was a bleak but mostly true observation. But from the end of World War II, until the early 2000s, the American Dream was at least possible for most people to achieve.

I came from a lower middle-class family. No one graduated from college, and a few didn’t finish high school. I was born with bold fantasies, but little practical ambition. Clearl...

Scopes 100 Years Later

Richard Dawkins once quipped, “It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid—or insane or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that.”

The seed of that sentiment was planted 100 years ago in July 1925, when John T. Scopes was tried and convicted in Dayton, Tennessee, for teaching evolution in public schools in violation of the state’s Butler Act. The media coverage of the trial—coupled with Inherit the Wind, a 1960 Ho...

Freedom No Longer Characterizes the Western World

Former British prime minister Liz Truss describes Britain, as I describe the United States, as a country ruled by an establishment that is stronger than the elected leader.  The brief interview with Truss is enlightening. 

Clearly Britain is no longer a free country.  It is not even a country in which ethnic British can complain about the lawlessness they suffer at the hands of immigrant invaders.

Here is the recent prime minister’s description of Great Britain:

“What has happened is an orthodo...

Price Inflation Rose in June to a Five Month High—But Don’t Blame Tariffs

Price inflation is moving up again, in spite of President Trump’s repeated (and false) claims that prices are falling. The media isn’t right either, though, since much of the media consensus about June’s stubbornly high price inflation trend is that it was caused by tariffs. Tariffs however, are not inflationary. The price inflation we now see is the continued legacy of the monetary inflation of Trump-Biden efforts to embrace huge deficits and pressure the Federal Reserve to push interest rates ...

BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard Confirms Former President Obama Authorized Assassination Attempt on Trump

In what may become the most explosive revelation in U.S. political history, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced that declassified intelligence files directly implicate former President Barack Obama in authorizing a covert assassination attempt on then President-elect Donald Tr...

The CIA Initiated an Intelligence and Terrorist War on Russia Based on a Lie

Foreign Policy published an article last week by Tim Weiner, author of Legacy of Ashes, with the title, When the Threat Is Inside the White House: What CIA insiders make of the MAGA moles and toadies now in charge of U.S. national security. While the intent of the article is to paint Trump and his team as a bunch of Russian toadies, Weiner unwittingly paints a picture of the CIA’s leadership as biased operators with no understanding of Russia… They still think they are engaging a communist autho...

Obama’s Real Legacy Comes Into Focus

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard set off fireworks on Friday when she accused former president Barack Obama of organizing a coup d’état against his successor.  Summarizing the damning evidence in her possession, Gabbard concluded, “These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people.”

Treason is a capital offense with no statute of limitations.  So consider how explosive Gabbard’s all...
