The Global Deep State: A Fascist World Order Funded by the American Taxpayer

“The madmen are in power.”— Philip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle

The debate over U.S. foreign aid is a distraction.

That’s not to say that the amount of taxpayer money flowing to foreign countries in the form of military and economic assistance is insignificant. Even at less than 1% of the federal budget, the United States still spends more on foreign aid than any other nation.

The latest foreign aid spending bill includes $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

Since World War II, the...

Ukraine, What is the End-Game?

Introduction

The US has conducted numerous wars since the end of what is euphemistically called the post war era:

Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen… and now Palestine and Ukraine.

The unspoken objective is not to “win the war” but to engineer the destruction of entire countries, create political and social chaos, with a view to ultimately “picking up the pieces” and taking control of the national economies of sovereign nation states.

This hegemoni...

Election Campaign Season

DHS Sec Mayorkas impeached; RFK Jr denied Secret Service protection; NIH stopped investigating COVID vaccine injuries RFK Jr’s CHD website shows; The capper? RFK Jr can’t see what’s really going on

By one slim vote, the House impeached DHS Secretary Mayorkas, for his purposeful no-action on the sieve that is the southern border. (*)

Millions of illegal aliens have come up into the US under Mayorkas’ watch, including violent criminals from around the world, human traffickers, cartel thugs, and p...

Where Are Advocates for Western Civilization, for White Ethnicities, for the Constitution, for Christian Morality, for Peace?

US Senator J. D.. Vance (R, OH) explains that the Republican Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell, is an agent for the Democrats. And he is.

What Vance doesn’t address is that the large contingent of Republican senators who are so totally committed to continue to pour billions of dollars into Ukraine’s lost war with Russia have a commitment to the profits and power of the US military/security complex, not to Ukraine.  

Social Security long ago ceased to be the third rail of American politics.  Today t...

A Hole in the System — The Border Crisis Exposed

As reported by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his mini-documentary “Midnight at the Border,” Biden’s open border policy has created a humanitarian crisis of shocking magnitude.

A major take-home from Kennedy’s exposé is that the Biden administration has effectively outsourced U.S. immigration to the cartels. Several cartels are in fact now fighting for supremacy. According to Jonathan Lines, Yuma County, Arizona, supervisor for District 2, there were 300 assassinations in a single 18-month period, as...

‘In The War of Propaganda, It Is Very Difficult To Defeat the United States’

One under-appreciated moment from Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Vladimir Putin came after Putin implied that NATO powers were behind the 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline. Carlson responded by asking why Putin wouldn’t present evidence of this to the world, so as to “win a propaganda victory.”

“In the war of propaganda it is very difficult to defeat the United States because the United States controls all the world’s media and many European media,” Putin replied, adding, “The ult...

Thoughts While Making Sauerkraut; Property and the Judo of Its Destruction

Last Fall I took advantage of low cabbage prices and the cool temperatures to make my annual batch of sauerkraut. It’s a pleasant hour and turns 10 dollars worth of raw materials into 50 dollars worth of kraut. I slice and then hand mix salt, cabbage, onions etc. The challenge is to keep the air away from the ferment for 6 weeks. My work incorporates decades of experience, illustrates the Krebs cycle and reminds me of our kids who savored the crispness and nutty flavor of lactic acid. The IRS ca...

What Everyone Is Missing About the Putin/Carlson Talk

“The Vorlons say, understanding is a three-edged sword: your side, their side, and the truth”
— John Sheridan, Babylon 5

The biggest media story of 2024 so far has come and gone. Tucker Carlson interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin last week.

Everyone, even the Davos/UK dominated media, has put forth their opinion on it. I gave out a quick take for my Patrons the morning after just like everyone else. And like everyone else I missed the biggest takeaway from this interview....

Welfare for the Rich

Why does the US military budget keep skyrocketing? The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2024 passed in December came in at a whopping $841.1 billion, and that’s just part of the total amount that will be spent on military-related issues this year. Just this weekend, for example, the Senate cleared the way for a nearly $100 billion in additional spending to boost the military capabilities of Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan!

What do we get for all that spending? A military that can do wha...

Why the Carbon Hysteria is a Huge Threat to Your Personal Freedom and Financial Wellbeing

International Man: Western countries are leading the charge in restructuring their economies around the issue of climate change. They’re committed to a comprehensive agenda to “decarbonize” their economies by 2050.

What’s your take on this?

Doug Casey: To sum it up in one word, it’s insane. In two words, it’s criminally insane.

Before the Industrial Revolution, the overwhelmingly major fuel source was wood. After that, we went to coal, which was a big improvement in density of energy and economi...
