Neocons Responsible for Russian-Ukraine War

On August 16, my wife, Vickie, and I attended a conference at the Dulles Airport Hilton just outside Washington, D.C. It was titled “A Blueprint For Peace” and was hosted by the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity.

This institute was started by Rep. Paul at the end of his last year in Congress in 2012. I participated in the founding press conference, and I am still on the advisory board.

This year’s conference had several outstanding speakers, such as Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Judge Andre...

Was JFK ‘Body Snatched’ From Air Force One?

David Lifton’s “Best Evidence” (1981),  as well as several other more recent publications, have made  the extraordinary claim that JFK’s body was removed secretly from Air Force One at Andrews, put aboard a helicopter,  flown to Bethesda, placed in a so-called shipping casket and delivered to the morgue “early” for pre-autopsy surgery to remove evidence of shots from the front. Of all of the conspiracy theories surrounding the Kennedy assassination, this may well be the boldest (some would say t...

How To Return the American Dream to Twenty-Year-Olds With Only a Single Income

Our country is on the verge of self-destruction because the American Dream no longer existsm for twenty-year-olds. It only exists for highly-paid couples at the end of child-bearing years. Everyone else is to live in Stack-and-Pack vertical housing, without private transportation except for bicycles. They will pay excessive rents and therefore accumulate no equity, and will live in fear. Most importantly they will have fewer children (and those later in life) at a rate  below the replacement lev...

Can Trump Find a Way Out of the Box He Is in?

Yesterday on his program Dialogue Works Nima had two guests, Larry Johnson, formerly of the CIA, and me.  I come in at about the one hour mark at the close of the program with Larry. I recommend that you take advantage of the double feature.  

Nima and I discuss the severe constraints on President Trump that handicap him in his effort to bring about not only a settlement in Ukraine but also impede a wider settlement with Russia that would put the world at peace.

Larry Johnson and I agree that th...

Make Birth Control Illegal Again

One hundred years ago, no one thought birth control was okay. In 1920, the Anglican Communion declared,

We utter an emphatic warning against the use of unnatural means for the avoidance of conception, together with the grave dangers—physical, moral and religious—thereby incurred, and against the evils with which the extension of such use threatens the race. (Lambeth Conference 1920, Resolution 68)

By 1930, they had changed their tune to: “The Conference believes that the conditions of modern lif...

The Endgame of the Ukraine War: Two Possible Scenarios

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has captured the attention of the entire world, drawing concern, debate, and urgency from policymakers, analysts, and citizens alike. Despite widespread awareness and ongoing efforts to seek a peaceful resolution, the ultimate outcome of this war remains shrouded in uncertainty. As the fighting persists and the stakes continue to rise, it becomes crucial to carefully examine the possible trajectories that could lead to the war’s conclusion. In doing so, two stark ...

The New Cracker Barrel Logo is Great! – AI Parody

The bold new Cracker Barrel logo is everything modern branding should be: ditch the past, erase tradition, and marginalise farmers. After all, every time that’s been tried around the world, it’s been a roaring success, right?

So hop aboard this AI Parody celebration of yet another rebrand that proudly tosses heritage straight into the trash. Kill the past, if you have to.

Sudden Deaths, Incapacitations Soar Among COVID-Jabbed Airline Pilots

“Something happened in 2021” that has jeopardized air travel safety, according to a disturbing report by Dr. Kevin Stillwagon, a retired airline pilot and immunology expert.

Mounting evidence points to the COVID-19 vaccinations that airlines, acting under pressure from the U.S. government, mandated or otherwise coerced their cockpit, cabin, and ground crews into taking.

Since 2021, there has been a marked increase in deaths of “younger” airline pilots while long-term disabilities for pilots have...

Fascist Corporatist Temptations

A friend and supporter of this newsletter just sent me a report “that the Trump administration is reportedly negotiating to turn Intel’s $10.9 billion CHIPS Act subsidies into a 10 percent equity stake in the company.” If finalized, Washington would be among Intel’s largest shareholders.

Reporter Vance Ginn at the Daily Economy does a fine job of enumerating why this is a bad idea for U.S. citizens and taxpayers, and I recommend reading his report.

The contemplated U.S.-Intel deal is, it seems t...
