Avoiding the Privacy Apocalypse

Most of the preppers were thinking they finally are getting a leg up on being ready for the imminent concerns with our dangerously fragile economy, and everything else. But the incredibly grim news is that all the preparation will mean nothing if the government does not allow you to reap the benefits of all your hard work and sacrifice.

The beginning of the end of one of our most precious liberties–the right to our physical privacy, and all that goes with it–is set to go into effect throughout t...

Semantics vs. Slavery

“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.” –Philip K. Dick

“Oregon discovered that Harley, a drug sniffing pot-bellied pig, was very effective both at finding drugs and at getting school children to pay attention to anti-drug messages. But when they tried to get funds from a federal program to train drug sniffing dogs to train other pigs and share their success, the bur...

Bring Back Asylums

It was the senseless wicked shooting at the Minneapolis church the other day that finally made me decide that mental illness had become such a malevolent and pernicious evil  in American society that vast new unprecedented measures had to be taken at once to build up a mental health system as pervasive and powerful as the one for physical health.

Mental illness lies behind school  shootings, domestic violence,  opioid addictions, homeless camps, most suicides (especially among youths), Covid-tri...

The Banking Elites Are Preparing to Introduction of a Single “World Currency”

The idea the world would be better served with a single “World Currency” has been growing and looms as a real possibility in the near future. Many people see this as a major part of the “endgame” or something that will constitute a needed reset to a global economy and financial system that has gone off track. Throughout history, before an economic collapse, the masses and society tend to believe things are financially stable. Only after the economy goes over the edge of an abyss and is in free-f...

Donald Trump Is a Putz!

“Putz —A jerk, or a self-made fool, but this word literally means penis.”

One of Claude Monet’s most famous paintings is called Impressionism, Sunrise (1872), depicting the port of Le Harve. Perhaps it is enigmatic to declare that this painting reminds me of the US Congress. I will explain. The lines between water, land, sky, people and boats are all blurred. There is very little to distinguish the various blobs. Only the sun rising above the horizon is clearly visible and is distinguished by i...

RFK Needs Your Help and America Needs Your Help

One year ago, Robert Kennedy, a left-leaning, life-long Democrat, gave the most important political speech of the decade. He put his pride aside, he put his own presidential campaign aside, and he said he would support Donald Trump as the 47th President. Kennedy is an alpha male. Trump is an alpha male. It was a shock for me to see Kennedy give the speech he did, because it meant that he would be tying his future to the, at times difficult-to-work-with, Donald Trump.

Would a long-term relationsh...

Why the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Is Fundamental

As libertarians, we believe that people have the right of self-ownership and property. If we have these rights, it’s obvious that we have the right to defend these rights by using force against attempts to take them away from us. As the great Murray Rothbard says in The Ethics of Liberty: “If, as libertarians believe, every individual has the right to own his person and property, it then follows that he has the right to employ violence to defend himself against the violence of criminal aggressor...

Why Do Vaccines Cause the Illnesses They Prevent

Medicine is built around memorizing foundational axioms from which all other medical decisions and policies are made and any dissenting perspective is relentlessly ridiculed—despite the fact these axioms aren’t always correct. In the case of vaccines, to sustain their market, they have been presented as both “safe and effective,” leading to doctors frequently assuming anyone vaccinated for a disease cannot catch it and that any injuries occurring immediately after vaccination are unrelated coinc...

Trump’s Drug-War Murders in the Caribbean

Apparently taking a page out of former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte’s drug-war playbook, President Trump is taking credit for the intentional military killings of eleven people in international waters near Venezuela.

Duterte is on trial right now before the International Criminal Court for allegedly ordering his drug-war goons to kill accused drug-war offenders on sight — that is, without arrest, prosecution, trial, and due process of law.

That’s what Trump just did. He ordered his milit...

Making Palestinians Go Away

Donald Trump, recently sporting his red ballcap modestly featuring the words “Trump Was Right About Everything,” is apparently in regular contact with Israel’s genocidal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Per Netanyahu, the most recent telephonic exchange had Trump expressing full support for the establishment of control over all of Gaza and the West Bank by the Israeli Army. Trump observed that Israel has been losing the “PR” (Public Relations) war over the carnage and must push ahead “with ful...
