Two Possible Fates Waiting in the Wings

I often wonder which of  two possible fates waiting in the wings will be ours.  Will Washington/Israeli hegemonic ambition, together with Russian/Chinese/Iranian denial, or perhaps avoidance, of reality, destroy us in nuclear war, or will the digital revolution and its bastard child–Artificial Intelligence–lock up humanity in endless tyranny?

I read idealistic accounts of AI in which we all have an AI assistant that manages our daily schedules, our health, diet, weight, and what we eat and drink...

Does Elon Musk’s Third Party Have a Prayer? Trump Is Not a Believer

Elon Musk may find his effort to reach the Martian surface a much easier task than cracking the U.S. political system.

The U.S. leader dragged his former adviser over the coals after the tech mogul announced plans to bankroll the so-called America Party.

The wealthiest individual in the world announced the creation of the America Party in a series of weekend posts late on Saturday and early Sunday to X, formerly known as Twitter, the social media platform that is part of his private empire.

The Way Most Americans Feel About Foreign Wars

When I was in Congress, the least popular, least respected members were the biggest publicity seekers – the ones who were the first and quickest to run to the cameras. They were not regarded as serious legislators. Thus, I have not been a big fan of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. However, several days ago, she wrote some words on her X account which I think express the feelings and frustrations of the overwhelming majority of Americans. The following are her words:

“I’m 51 years old. I’m GenX.

“I’...

Response to Mr. Trump: Past the Bluster; A Personal Approach to Trump’s Rant on Iran.

I think one of the reasons Americans love Donald Trump is because he is so transparent and wears his personality on his sleeve. He shows us when he is angry or happy and often reflects his inner thinking. This is quite different from many world leaders who often stick to official reasoned positions which reflect the needs of their country without getting into personal reflections. This is perhaps why Trump is so unique and difficult to deal with by other world leaders. This latest post of June 2...

Parish Priests Are the Cure to the Crisis

Most of the faithful are familiar with both sides of the current Catholic coin: rampant unbelief and apostasy on one side and a small but powerful movement toward orthodoxy and tradition on the other. Many young priests have begun the hard work of improving catechesis and liturgy, emphasizing Confession, and building devotion to the Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin Mary. In many of their parishes, the exodus appears to have stopped. Parishioner numbers are beginning to stabilize and, in some sel...

War in the Middle East, The Rothschilds

On about 20 September 2001, just ten days after the destruction of the World Trade Centre buildings on 9/11, recently retired U.S. Army General Wesley Clark was visiting the Pentagon for meetings with Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz when he was assailed by another General whom he had formerly commanded.

This General advised General Clark that the US was going to attack seven countries in five years.

A few weeks later, a similar meeting between the same officers led General Clar...

Of Micronations and Coincidences

A New Approach for Elon Musk?

Considering the reality that power is an addiction for those feeding at the trough of government might and money, it was probably inevitable that Elon Musk’s crusade to root waste out of the American government would stall and prove unable to surmount the high barrier of congressional approval. Musk’s meltdown on social media over the failure of the United States Congress to codify his DOGE cuts into law was a popcorn-worthy entertainment event, but in terms of subs...

Imperial Hypocrisy About “Terrorism” Hits Its Most Absurd Point Yet

The US has removed Syria’s Al Qaeda franchise from its list of designated terrorist organizations just days after the UK added nonviolent activist group Palestine Action to its own list of banned terrorist groups.

The western empire will surely find ways to be even more hypocritical and ridiculous about its “terrorism” designations in the future, but at this point it’s hard to imagine how it will manage to do so.

The De-weaponization of the CIA

“All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump.” — CIA Director John Ratcliffe

Former CIA Director Brennan Faces Perjury Problems After CIA Director Ratcliffe’s Review Uncovers Russia Hoax Testimony Lies.  But will Trump’s Department of Justice do anything about it? The Democrats intended to imprison Trump and tried to assassinate him.  Republicans, however, are afraid that prosecuting a high ranking ...
