The Truth About Salt

In this article, I will focus on one my major frustrations with the medical system—the war against salt.

Note: the war against salt began in 1977 when a Senate Committee published dietary guidelines arguing for reduced sodium consumption despite the existing evidence not supporting this. Since then, like many other bad policies, it has developed an nearly unstoppable inertia of its own.

Is Salt Bad For You?

Many people you ask, particularly those in the medical field will tell you salt is bad, a...

Globalists Go Radio Silent as NATO Flirts With World War III

Where have all the globalists gone? Yes, unfortunately they’re still out there free when they should be rotting in a frozen gulag or fertilizing an unmarked field somewhere.  I get that.  However, if you’ve been tracking the elitist cabal as long as I have you might have noticed a sudden and abrupt shift in public activity among the most prominent globalist institutions.

From at least 2019 onward the mask had come completely off. The elites were flooding western media with woke propaganda throug...

The Silence of the Bears

The silence of the bears will soon be ended and we will know more about Russian resolve.

Russia’s leadership is in ‘conclave’ determining its riposte.

Trump has been silent for two days. Unprecedented. In the last days, Ukraine and its facilitators attempted a massive attack on Russia’s strategic nuclear bomber-force; succeeded in collapsing two bridges onto civilian trains heading to Moscow; attacking the Kerch Bridge; and assassinating a Russian general via explosive body bomb.

As Clausewitz n...

The Great Unraveling, Continued… How America’s Most Powerful Alliance Collapsed in 72 Hours

The spectacle that unfolded late this week between Donald Trump and Elon Musk represents more than a collision of egos. What we saw emerge from their respective social media platforms on Thursday was a seismic fracture in the foundation of America’s populist revival.

The repercussions threaten to scatter—across the battlefield of petty grievances and wounded pride—a center-right coalition that delivered victory last fall. Likewise, this public demolition of what once appeared an unshakeable alli...

The Deep State Is Still Sabotaging Presidential Policies

Ambassador M.K. Bhadrakumar reminds us of subtle maneuvers by deep state actors to sabotage presidential policies.

When a U.S. spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union President Dwight Eisenhower had not be informed about its real mission. The CIA claimed that it had been a weather plane that went off course after its pilot was incapacitated. The president repeated that tale.

The Soviets then published that the wreckage of the U-2 spy plane had been recovered and the pilot captured alive. T...

He Who Wrestles With God in Public: Jordan Peterson Versus Himself

Jordan Peterson’s recent appearance on Jubilee’s viral YouTube debate wasn’t just another skirmish in the culture war between belief and unbelief. It revealed something deeper and more unsettling: the ongoing drama of a man caught between archetype and Incarnation, between myth and metaphysical truth. The event was less about the 20 atheists who challenged him and more about the unresolved questions that have long surrounded Peterson’s theology or lack thereof.

For years, observers have speculat...

Remember America’s Dead on the USS Liberty

It often pays, literally, to be perceived as a perpetual victim, a status that Israel and the Jewish institutional constituency have exploited relentlessly since 1945. It is now eighty years since the Second World War ended and the numbers of those receiving “holocaust” reparations from the German government hardly seems to diminish and may now include children of survivors who presumably were somehow damaged in the womb after the conflict ended and the camps in Europe were “liberated.” More tha...

When Medicaid Is The Donald’s No Play Around Zone—It’s All Over Except The Shouting

At some point a clarifying event occurs which confirms that you are at the end of the road. In this particular case we are talking again about the bothersome subject of fiscal sanity—and the exclamation point the Donald supplied recently when his was trolling the House GOP caucus in behalf of his Big Beautiful Bill.

In order to ensure the extension of his precious (but unpaid for) 2017 tax cut and provide budgetary sanction for a 13% increase in defense spending and 60% rise in outlays for borde...

Rep. Thomas Massie Introduces US Gold Reserves Audit Bill

The United States government says it has about 261 million troy ounces of gold in its gold reserves. That is rather impressive, if true.

The US government is not a great role model for honesty, though. So, it seems a good idea to put its gold claim to the test.

President Donald Trump talked on occasion in the first couple months of his second term about traveling to Fort Knox where much of the gold is supposed to be held to check if it is really there. But, more recently, he has largely gone sil...

An Ego-Maniacal Writer’s Failed Attempt at Guilt by Association

A couple of months ago the following correspondence took place. I knew of course what sort of publication The New Yorker is, and based on the very first question I was certain that my name would be mentioned, no matter what. Hence, to forestall any possible misrepresentation, I decided to reply. But I refused to simply talk and insisted on doing things in writing so that I could later prove what was and wasn’t said.

Dear Professor Hoppe,

I’m a writer at The New Yorker who is working on a story a...
