Another Federal War on Free Speech

“If it is known that authorities have power to coerce, few people will wait for actual coercion,” economist Friedrich Hayek wrote in the 1956 foreword to his 1944 classic The Road to Serfdom. Hayek’s insight could be the Rosetta Stone for understanding the Trump administration’s zealotry for assailing freedom of speech.

On March 25, six masked federal agents seized a Turkish graduate student on the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts. Rumeysa Ozturk, who was wearing a hijab, was a Fulbright sch...

Previous History Indicates that War Is Our Future

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” — George Santayana

Our time is much like Europe during 1912-1914 and 1938-1939.  War is brewing, and unlike the earlier periods today the countries likely to be involved, with the exception of Russia, China, and Iran, are not trying to avoid it.  Between 1912-1914 the French President Poincare, Russian Foreign Minister Izvolski, later Russian ambassador to France, and Russian Foreign Minister Sazonov were deeply involved in a conspira...

Hospital System Will Pay $1 Million to Employees It Punished for Refusing COVID Shots

The Trump administration is delivering justice for employees who were forced out of their job for declining the abortion-tainted COVID shot – including a recent $1 million settlement.

Mercyhealth agreed to the settlement after the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) investigated the healthcare organization, which operates clinics and hospitals in Wisconsin and Illinois, for “denying [employees] a religious accommodation and either terminating their employment or subjecting them to a w...

The Ron Paul Institute’s “Blueprint for Peace” Conference

Not too far from where the principal military industrial complex power players work and live, hundreds of liberty-lovers congregated in the suburbs of Washington DC at the ninth annual Ron Paul Peace and Prosperity Institute (RPI) conference. RPI brings together voices of differing ideologies to achieve its core mission. In its own orderly, diplomatic manner, the event was a raging against the war machine and a reminder that there is opposition to the trillions spent on military budgets in pursu...

Land of the Deadliest Sins

Christianity has always emphasized the severity of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Catholic Church defined them as pride, greed, envy, wrath, gluttony, lust, and sloth. Looking around at America 2.0, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that Deadly Sinning comes as naturally to us as betrayal or dishonesty, which apparently don’t qualify.

Pride can be seen in the scrunched up duckfaces of every young girl, as she posts selfie after selfie, like all her fellow narcissist friends. It can be seen in the f...

Israel’s Man Inside the CIA Betrayed the US, New Files Show

Veteran CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton secretly oversaw a top-level spy ring involving Jewish émigrés and Israeli operatives without “any clearances” from Congress or Langley itself, according to recently declassified documents published as part of the Trump administration’s pledge to disclose all available information on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The files provide a fresh and often disturbing look at a spy described by historian Jefferson Morley as “a leading...

Total Eclipse of the Heart”: Portuguese Brazil version

When I was in Belem, Brazil, in the Amazon for six months in the summer of 1990, this was one of the top three songs played in the dance clubs of Belem. They played the English version by Bonnie Tyler. The Brazilians are the most romantic people I’ve ever met. They don’t just listen to romantic music, watch romantic TV shows, and read romantic novels; they live them.

Belem is an amazing place. You won’t find people like the Belemese anywhere else on Earth.
