A Quieter Presence at the Pentagon

Three days before Christmas, Army four-star General Lloyd Austin, the seventy-year-old secretary of defense, disappeared—he was simply no longer to be found in the Pentagon—and President Biden and his aides did not know about it for ten days. He had gone, without notice to the president he serves, into an Army hospital to be treated for an unspecified illness. The story broke in the media—it was front-page stuff—and Admiral John Kirby, spokesman for the National Security Council, told the press ...

The Dreaded GOAT Predictions for 2024 Part II — Becoming Ungovernable

When I hit the streets back in ’81
Found a heart in the gutter and a poet’s crown
I felt barbed wire kisses and icicle tears
Where have I been for all these years?
I saw political intrigue, political lies
Gonna wipe those smiles of self-satisfaction from their eyes
— Marillion, White Feather

In my last post, Part I, I asked the question, “Where do we go from here…” knowing that we have political upheaval in the West we haven’t seen in the US since the 1860’s. Joah Bii-Den! fulfilled his promise ...

Why Are There So Many Suicides in America?

Last November, the Wall Street Journal reported that suicides in the United States reached a record high in 2022. Almost 50,000 people in the U.S. committed suicide. The suicide rate was the highest since 1941.

According to the article, healthcare professionals blame Covid, illicit drugs, and an oversupply of firearms.

I’ve got a different answer. I’m certainly no expert in psychology but I say that the enormously high rate of suicide involves a denial of reality and the psychosis that comes wit...

The Angel of Death—Live

It was open-mic night at a little dump off Western Av. Anybody who wasn’t falling down drunk could get up on stage and do a few minutes. If he thought he was funny.

There were maybe 20 people sitting at the small tables. They weren’t exactly connoisseurs of comedy.

A man in his 30s wearing a suit and tie flashed a bright smile and took the mic off the stand. He held an open notebook. He began reading:

‘I’m thinking of changing my program. Repellent humans have become so proficient at taking life...

More Revelation About October 7 And The ‘Israel Exception’

Since the Hamas attack against the Israeli military on October 7, Israel and its controlled propagandists in the Western media have repeatedly referred to the attack as an act of “terrorism,” complete with savagery against Israeli civilians—including children and babies.

Larry Johnson helps unveil the truth of the October 7 attack in a report entitled Revisiting The October 7 Hamas Attack — Did Israel Kill Most Of The Israeli Civilians?

For those not inclined to read to the end, here’s the botto...

BRICS Member South Africa Takes Zionism to ourt

Nothing less than the full concept of international law will be on trial this week in The Hague. The whole world is watching.

It took an African nation, not an Arab or Muslim nation, but significantly a BRICS member, to try to break the iron chains deployed by Zionism via fear, financial might, and non-stop threats, enslaving not only Palestine but substantial swathes of the planet.

By a twist of historical poetic justice, South Africa, a nation that knows one or two things about apartheid, had ...

The Invisible Fauci Victims

From the Tom Woods Letter:

I’m as tired of hearing the name Anthony Fauci as you are, dear reader, but he’s just engaged in 14 hours of closed-door testimony before a House subcommittee on Covid.

The chairman of that subcommittee, Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), said that this would be “an opportunity for Dr. Fauci to explain his COVID-19 policy positions. His forthcoming, honest, and transparent testimony over the next two days is critical for improving our nation’s future public health responses.”

Language and the Future: How Does AI Copy You?

PART ONE: How does AI copy you?

If you’re a writer, AI copies your content and your style.

But let’s go a bit deeper. Suppose you learned journalism from reading the New York Times. You absorbed their way of stringing phrases and clauses and sentences together.

In a loose sense, you became an AI which copied the Times. So now AI will copy your copy.

And you’ll sink and vanish into a vast sea of that style of writing—a sea made hugely more extensive by machine AI.

So…developing your own unique st...

Can Big Pharma Be Held Accountable?

In 1935 Trofim Lysenko, a fraudulent agronomist, took control of Soviet genetics and agronomy and destroyed the science with political and ideological explanations. With biology under Lysenko’s dominance, the principles of Mendel’s classical genetics were banned, and real scientists suffered political repression.  

The Lysenko affair exemplifies my point that without truth, there can be no science and no scholarship.

Tony Fauci and his puppet-masters introduced their own form of Lysenkoism with ...

Criminality in the White House: The Rise of the Political Psychopath

“When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.”—Richard Nixon

Many years ago, a newspaper headline asked the question: “What’s the difference between a politician and a psychopath?”

The answer, then and now, remains the same: None.

There is no difference between psychopaths and politicians.

Nor is there much of a difference between the havoc wreaked on innocent lives by uncaring, unfeeling, selfish, irresponsible, parasitic criminals and elected officials who lie to their consti...
