Trump Says Soros Should Be Criminally Charged

President Donald Trump thinks leftist megadonor George Soros and one of his sons should be charged as criminals.

The president published a post on Truth Social Wednesday morning calling Soros out by name and vowing to stop “lunatics” from destroying the country. He said:

George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America. We’re not going to allow these lunatics to r...

‘The Arabs Hate Us Because Of Our Religion” Is The New “They Hate Us For Our Freedom’

Israelis who say “the Arabs hate us because of our religion” are as self-evidently moronic as the Americans who said “they hate us for our freedom”. In both cases the answer is no, dipshit, they hate you because of the horrific things to do to them.

Western leaders who say they’ll recognize a Palestinian state while feebly calling on Both Sides to reach a ceasefire deal are just cuter, more photogenic versions of Netanyahu. They’re making empty noises to appear as though they’re doing somethin...

How Western Media Helped Turn Israel’s Genocide Into ‘Fake News’

Israel’s intent to annihilate Gaza would have been clear much sooner had we listened to Palestinian journalists, rather than the evasions and equivocations of the BBC

Israel’s justification for the mass slaughter of Gaza’s people and their starvation – now officially confirmed as a famine engineered by Israel – was built on a parade of easily discredited lies from the start: of beheaded infants, of babies in ovens, of mass rape.

It should surprise no one that Israel continued advancing similarly...

Shadowy Forces Behind JD Vance’s Rise and Grooming as MAGA Successor

International Man: JD Vance’s early political rise was fueled by over $13 million from Palantir co-founder and current chairman Peter Thiel—support that far outstripped grassroots contributions.

What do you think drove Thiel to pour big money into launching the political career of someone virtually unknown to the public?

Doug Casey: I’m innately suspicious of anyone and everyone involved in politics on any level. And frankly, I don’t really know anything about JD Vance other than what I learned ...

There Will Be No Peace in Ukraine Until Washington Admits to Itself It Has Lost the War

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told NBC’s Kristen Welker of Meet the Press that no meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is currently in the works. The Russian diplomat indicated his government is not interested in such a meeting until a “presidential agenda” was agreed upon that included certain Russian demands, including an agreement Ukraine will not seek membership in NATO and will discuss ceding some territory to Russia.

“When President ...

Our Mafioso Economy

Extortion is the keystone of America’s Mafioso Economy.

And scene: here are the dons, each the ruthless head of their own vast organization, seated next to their wives in a show of bourgeois respectability, assembled by invitation to kiss the ring of the Godfather. This isn’t just fiction, of course; we’ve all seen the photo of America’s Big Tech dons, wives in tow, lined up in a display of billionaire obeisance.

We all know the drill: give the Godfather respect and his cut, and you can return t...

Australia Breaks With Iran – Sign of a New War Coming?

The Aussies just trashed their relations with Iran based on nothing but obscure say-so.

Australia throws out Iran ambassador over alleged antisemitic attacks

Canberra expelled Tehran’s ambassador after accusing Iran of masterminding at least two antisemitic attacks on Australian soil.

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the country’s intelligence services had linked Iran’s military to arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne, throwing out an ambassador for the first time since World Wa...

Hitting The Wall

You’ve probably read that it is now common for people to sign up for seven years of payments – because this is the only way many people can afford to drive a new vehicle. More payments being more manageable than fewer – but higher – payments. This works – for awhile.

But it can’t work for too much longer, because depreciation catches up – and passes – you right around the seven year mark. By this time, you are likely to find that you owe more (the remaining loan balance) than the car is worth by...

The US Can End the Gaza Genocide Now

President Donald Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, and his efforts toward peace in Ukraine, if successful, could possibly help him earn one—but only if he also ends US complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Under Trump, as under former President Joe Biden, the US has served as Israel’s partner in mass murder, annexation, starvation, and the escalating torment of millions of Palestinians. The genocide can, and will, stop if Trump wills it. So far he has not.

Israel is committing genocide—ever...

Mythic Trump: the Incendiary Narcissus

Mythic Narcissus, depending on his mood while facing his reflection in the pool, may at any moment authorize Kiev hits on Moscow and St. Petersburg with long-range missiles.

Alastair Crooke’s remarkable analysis of Trump in the context of myth as geopolitics has left us with much to ponder. There’s no escape from Trump’s “extraordinary ability to dominate the discourse”, globally, as well as his capacity for “bending people to his will” – and thus wreak havoc on the geopolitical chessboard.

Alas...
