‘It Could Be Bad For You’

In 2019, independent investigative journalist, Sharyl Attkisson, produced a stunning report on the U.S. government’s concealment of expert witness testimony that vaccines can and do indeed cause autism in some children.

As Attkisson wrote in related report (How a pro-vaccine doctor reopened debate about link to autism) published in The Hill on 1/13/19:

Pediatric neurologist Dr. Andrew Zimmerman originally served as the expert medical witness for the government, which defends vaccines in federal ...

U.S. Debt Has Surpassed $34 Trillion

The United States is in such a deep financial hole that it’ll never be able to dig itself out. The ruling class has enslaved the population in every way possible, including financially as its debt obligations have reached $34 trillion for the first time, over $6 trillion more than when Joe Biden became the head tyrant.

U.S. debt as a percentage of GDP (gross domestic product) is now over 123%, compared with China’s 83%. Japan has the largest debt burden relative to GDP, at 255%.

The US Treasury ...

Apocalypse Now: The Government’s Use of Controlled Chaos To Maintain Power

Figure One: Just stop a few of their machines and radios and telephones and lawn mowers…throw them into darkness for a few hours and then you just sit back and watch the pattern. 

Figure Two: And this pattern is always the same? 

Figure One: With few variations. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find…and it’s themselves. And all we need do is sit back…and watch…and let them destroy themselves. — “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,” Twilight Zone

Will 2024 be the year the Deep State’...

Why Would Anyone Join Today’s Military?

In the Tom Cruise movie Jack Reacher (2012), Reacher makes this observation about people who join the military: “There are four types of people who join the military. For some, it’s a family trade. Others are patriots, eager to serve. Next, you have those who just need a job. Then there’s the kind who want a legal means of killing other people.”

I think that motive number three is the main reason that American men and women join today’s military, but even that is losing ground.

Today’s military ...

It’s Racist To Oppose Plagiarism

From the Tom Woods Letter:

You no doubt heard this week about the resignation of Claudine Gay as president of Harvard.

Not many people seemed to care all that much about her lackluster scholarly record (11 papers total, all about race and gender, and more than half of which involved flagrant acts of plagiarism) and her DEI reign of terror until her ill-starred congressional testimony late last year, even though it was just as important before that testimony as it was afterward.

All the same, it’...

Why More Secession Means Lower Taxes and More Trade

[This article is Chapter 9 of Breaking Away: The Case of Secession, Radical Decentralization, and Smaller Polities.]

When we hear of political movements in favor of decentralization and secession, the word “nationalist” is often used to describe them. We have seen the word used in both the Scottish and Catalonian secession movements, and in the case of Brexit. Often the term is intended to be pejorative.

When used pejoratively—as by the critics of Brexit—the implication is that the separatists s...

The Mossad, The CIA, and the Trafficking Industry Blackmail Book

Germany’s Deutsche Welle:  The Eu has a lot on its plate for 2024 including Russia and Trump.   Interesting given last I checked, the US President is not a bobblehead of the EU.   And Ukraine is not a member of the EU so Russia’s actions have net zero effect on the EU – unless they decide to announce footsies on the ground… Except they can’t because they have no arsenol, no viable troops, and Germany’s tanks have hit the wall in Ukraine, as in – they are no longer operational because Ukrainian’s...

5 Most Dangerous States in America by Crime Rate

Every state has its crime rate. In the United States, statistics indicate that more than 15 million crimes are committed every year, including property and other serious crimes.

However, even if a state reports lower crime rates, it doesn’t mean that it is free of danger entirely. These states may still have some areas where violence occurs frequently, or they may report a smaller number of violent crimes, but the victims are often locals, so outsiders don’t hear much about them. Here we will ta...

An Insight Into Russia’s View on Gold

It is a year since Sergei Glazyev, Commissioner for Integration and Macroeconomics within the Eurasian Economic Commission, disclosed his views on gold and its value in trade. Undoubtedly, his opinion carries weight not only with President Putin to whom he is very close, but he also influenced Russian proposals for a new trade settlement currency for BRICS which failed to make the Johannesburg agenda last August.

Published in Vedomosti, the Moscow business paper on 27 December 2022, it is very r...
