America: A Regime of Government for Government

What would it take to rebuild America?   What form of government would be immune to blackmail?   Can America undo FDR?   Every Executive Order is required to comply with the US Constitution.   Can Constitution Amendments be repealed?   While we are ‘told’ America is a pure capitalist society, is that factual?   Technically, America has been operating under a socialist/monarchial-elite government for decades – if not centuries. 

The illusion – the first lie.

During Russia’s Soviet imperialism era...

The Paper Gold Shorts Are Desperate To Go Long…

Today, US CPI came in a little better than expected, not that a few decimals mean anything. Gold was marked down $35. So what was that about?

Quite simply, the bullion bank traders know that gold is going to go much higher and want to go long in the paper market. Physical supply is being cornered by central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and UHNW individuals, particularly in Asia.

The reason they can hit the price is that they are not being challenged in paper markets where speculative interest...

The Stronger the Government, the Weaker the Nation

For all of our lives, it has been the aim of most Americans to make the federal government stronger, especially with respect to the warfare state. The principal justification for an ever more powerful government is that it keeps the American people safe from the likes of terrorists, drug dealers, communists, illegal immigrants, Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans, and Muslims. Moreover, it is argued, a powerful military-intelligence establishment enables the U.S. government to violently p...

Texas Diocese Reportedly Directed by the Vatican To End Traditional Latin Masses at Its Cathedral

AUSTIN, Texas — The cathedral in the Diocese of Austin, Texas will discontinue its Traditional Latin Mass as of March 19, reportedly due to a decision “directly from the Vatican.”

Theologian Dr. Peter Kwasniewski shared Sunday evening on social media that, according to an “eyewitness,” it was announced at the end of Mass at the St. Mary Cathedral on February 11 that the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) will be canceled there as of March 19. Attendance at these Masses numbers from 500 to 600 people e...

Justice Underserved

Viscerally, I am in favor of the death penalty, but in more sober reality I am against it. There are some crimes so heinous, so beyond all extenuation, that death seems the only just punishment; but justice is not the only desideratum in human arrangements, so this is not a decisive argument.

I would not be prepared to execute someone myself in what might be called cold blood: that is to say, not in immediate self-defense. It seems to me that I cannot depute to others what I would not be prepare...

‘That is Not the Judgment of the Press’: The White House Calls the Media to Heel With Disinformation Campaign

“That is not the judgment of the press.” Those words from President Joe Biden were a telling moment after a reporter noted that there is widespread concern that he is mentally diminished. Biden’s cranky response was overshadowed by his confusion on other points during the press conference, including mixing up the presidents of Egypt and Mexico. However, it captured the sense of license and expectation of the Biden White House that the press is supposed to toe the line, as it has for three years....

Tuck & Vlad: The Interview of the Decade, if Not the Century!

Though summarily booted off Fox News only ten months ago, Tucker Carlson has single-handedly pulled off the journalistic coup of the century. He’s now the envy of the myriad sycophants in mainstream media newsrooms, who do nothing more than read the scripts given them by their handlers, all of whom are in the pay of their globalist masters. Predictably, they’re attacking Carlson on cue, meaning he’s over the target.

Way to go, Tucker!

He just enabled us to witness a two-hour candid encounter wit...

Bill Gates, Cease and Desist

Bill Gates wants to jab your arm.
Bill Gates pushes deadly vaccines.
Bill Gates is a serial killer,
an ignoramus doing much harm.
Bill Gates is morally obscene.

Bill Gates is the Global Health Czar.
He appointed himself to the task.
He more or less owns the W.H.O.
Every nation does what he asks.

Bill Gates is a sociopath.
He knows the vaccines kill and maim.
Mountains of evidence prove it
but he loves the jabs all the same.
He’s paralyzed thousands in India.
In Africa he’s killed millions.
In th...

Land of Spooks and Shills and Sheeple

Trust is a rare commodity in today’s world. Maybe it always has been. I remember trusting some older males who were relatives or neighbors, as a child. Then later as an adult, I’d hear from my sister and others about how these fine upstanding men had propositioned them, or touched them inappropriately.

Moral trust is one thing. We all fail to some degree on this count, because we are all sinners. My head will probably always be turned by a good-looking female. It’s just instinctive. I remember a...

Stop Concealing Soviet Crimes

As we rightly remember the Auschwitz death camp and the rest of the Jewish Holocaust, let’s take a moment to recall the greatest mass killer of prisoners during World War II, the by now forgotten Soviet Major General Vasily Blokhin.

Blokhin claimed to have personally executed tens of thousands of prisoners in the Soviet Gulag. He was the chief executioner for NKVD (Soviet secret police).

Commissar Blokhin used his personal Walther PPK pistol to kill thousands of his victims by a shot to the back...
