Russiagate Releases Lifting a Veil on Surveillance State Abuses

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s office released two damning emails yesterday, the first being a letter from former DNI James Clapper to former FBI head James Comey, former CIA head John Brennan, and then-NSA chief Michael Rogers. Dated December 22, 2016, Clapper’s letter explains how the chiefs should approach writing a new Intelligence Community Assessment, whose conclusion — that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump — had already been reported:

Where Did Covid Go?

Despite playing only basic guitar and piano and having a no-frills, one octave voice, I’ve composed and recorded 12 songs, all of which have been played on some radio station or other. I don’t have any DJ friends and haven’t paid any bribes.

My songs have gotten airplay because their lyrics express countercultural perspectives. Using the nom de guerre, Mahwah Paterson, I’ve mocked Disneyworld, sperm banks, Shakespeare and freezing the baseball hero Ted Williams’s head, et al. Some of these tunes...

Israeli Spy Network: The Force Behind the Surveillance State

The Mossad-Jeffrey Epstein 30-year blackmail network that entrapped large numbers of the superrich and powerful is still fresh in our minds and boiling in our hearts—at least in some of our hearts. Mike Johnson and other leaders in Congress are hoping that Congress’ August recess will be instrumental in helping the American people to forget the scandal. And given the American people’s short attention span, it might work.

One would think that the American people—Democrats and Republicans—would be...

HHS Storytime With Uncle Bobby Kennedy Jr.

Gather around, kids, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Uncle Bobby Kennedy, has a story for us — a story about why mRNA vaccines are safe and ineffective. Yes, you heard that right, ineffective. But they’re still safe. Sort of… It’s a bedtime story for Americans to help them sleep away any memories of calamari-like clots, life-long injuries and turbo cancers that the COVID-19 injection has caused.

Ever since 2020, I’ve been warning about the dangers of mRNA vaccines. Nonethele...

The Globalization of War: North American Integration and the Militarization of the Arctic

This article which was first published in 2007 is of utmost relevance. Minor edits.

The Battle for the Arctic is part of a global military agenda of conquest and territorial control. It has been described as a New Cold War between Russia and America. 

Washington’s objective is to secure territorial control, on behalf of the Anglo-American oil giants, over extensive Arctic oil and natural gas reserves.

The Arctic region could hold up to 25% of the World’s oil and gas reserves, according to some e...

What’s Really Behind Opposition to Trump’s Move in DC?

Lots of misinformation is being spread about President Donald Trump’s decision to federalize law enforcement in Washington, D.C.  Much of it is the usual Trump Derangement Syndrome: “fascist” tendencies toward “authoritarianism” at the expense of “black and brown” people because of DJT’s “racism” and desire to bury the Epstein scandal.  There’s no “emergency” justifying the takeover.  The “solution” is to do what Democrats failed to do for decades: Make DC the 51st state so it need not undergo s...

The Police State Has a New Playbook: Martial Law, One City at a Time

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”—H.L. Mencken

Let’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics and threats.

What is unfolding in the nation’s capital is a hostile takeover of our constitutional republic.

This is no longer about partisan politics, wag-the-dog distractions from the Epstein debacle,...

Bear, Dragon, Elephant, Toucan, Nightingale Stare Down Goldfinger

Of course it’s all about Alaska. Here’s what’s in play. But it’s the shadowplay that’s even more exciting.

Of course it’s all about Alaska. Here’s what’s in play. But it’s the shadowplay that’s even more exciting.

Across the world, for those who grew up in the Cold War Swingin’ Sixties, the temptation is irresistible to cast Donald Trump as Goldfinger  (but who would play Oddjob? Hegseth?)

Goldfinger, after all, is a powerful, ruthless gambler. His 21st century motto would be “Obliterate & Plund...

China Hysteria: Manufactured Threat or Inevitable Rival?

International Man: Recently, we’ve seen the “Yellow Peril” escalate across media and politics. What’s your take on the sentiment towards China?

Doug Casey: There’s always been a fear of China, perhaps starting with the immigration of laborers to California in the 1860s, then Sax Rohmer’s Fu Manchu novels. It’s logical enough. China has always seemed alien to Americans—their language, their script, their clothing style, and their congregating together in Chinatowns. They were painted as inscrutab...

Prosperity Requires Real Money, Not Fiat, CBDC, or Crypto…nor the Federal Reserve Bank!

This paper was written to give the reader a snap shot of money, real and imagined.

Our Constitution requires that we use real money, which is Gold and Silver. These have the required characteristics for real money: 1…medium of exchange,2…measure of value, and 3…store of value.

Our Fiat Dollars don’t comply with the Constitution  money” is decreed by authority, with no physical backing.) Which is why we have suffered inflation and the decline in relative value of fiat dollars for almost 100 years...
