European Kakistocracy Locked in a Forever War Against Russia

Never interrupt your enemy when he is committing serial suicide.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is committing serial suicide (in reverse American gore-style, when the serial killer always resurrects). In the case of the EU kakistocracy, serial self-destruction is always a given, and always skyrocketing.

So the EUrocrats in Brussels have just adopted their 17th round of sanctions against Russia – the sky is the limit – targeting nearly 200 tankers of the so-called Russian shadow fleet. The pa...

Making Palestine Go Away

It has been another exciting week in a world at war where the word “diplomacy” has no meaning and would probably be defined by America’s head of Homeland Security Kristi Noem as a doctrine in which you shoot someone first before he or she can shoot you. In my article last week I discussed the reports that there has been a serious rift between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, exemplified by Trump’s unwillingness to talk to the Israeli leader followed by his fa...

The US Army, its Finances and Operations; Sergeants in Charge.

Larger military facilities resembled small towns. They had chapels, PXs, barbershops, service clubs and even fast food restaurants. Camp H had a pizzeria run by a Korean gentleman that I will call Kim.

We noticed a spike in gastroenteritis cases in the tsunami of clap and tracked the outbreak to Kim’s pizzeria. A superficial walk-through of the kitchen revealed gross violations of ordinary health codes. The place was unscreened and full of flies. There were filthy dishes everywhere and the garba...

Memorial Day: It’s Not About the Dead Soldiers but About Glorifying War

Although Memorial Day in the United Sates is ostensibly a day for honoring soldiers killed in wars, it is, rather, a day for promoting war. If it were to honor the dead, all its pageantry would be in opposition to war. Rather than being haunted by the ghosts of war, many Americans are very proud of all its soldiers killed while killing foreigners for the military industrial complex and the super-rich who own the country.

For the U.S.A. is a warfare state; it has been waging imperialistic oversea...

Ludwig von Mises on Peace and Social Cooperation

Critics of the free market often claim that capitalism is a system of ruthless struggle for survival. They say it is a system of dog-eat-dog competition. In fact, as the great Ludwig von Mises argued in an unanswerable way, the free market replaces the struggle for survival found in the animal world with social cooperation in which everybody benefits. Capitalism is a system of peace, not war.

The key point that Mises makes is that human beings benefit from the division of labor and the division ...

The Real Israel vs. Hasbara History

Deepest gratitude to our beloved Lew Rockwell, and to my good friend, Dr. Tom DiLorenzo, for inviting me here. I’m thrilled to be with you.

My topic is The Real Israel Versus Hasbara History. Hopefully some of you know what Hasbara is. When America’s regime historians reflect on history’s tragedies and travesties, they always praise Pax Americana. That is the idea that American empire, hegemony, brought peace to the world. Conveniently, they leave out the horrors of it.

Naturally, regime histori...

Will Russia Inevitably Reconcile With The EU & Ukraine Like Putin Predicts?

He’s known for being a realist, not a wishful thinker, which is why his prediction was so surprising to many observers.

Putin predicted a few weeks back that Russia will inevitably reconcile with the EU and Ukraine. Regarding the first, he said that “I have no doubt whatsoever that we will, in due time, rebuild our relations with Europe. It’s only a matter of patience and effort.” As for the second, he said several days later that “It seems to me that this is inevitable despite the tragedy we ar...

Arm Them!

Aljazeera “Let’s bring in Ori Goldberg. He’s an Israeli political commentator and he’s joining us live from Tel Aviv. … And the Israeli Prime Minister has certainly been pushing a narrative that anyone who supports Palestinians is anti-Semitic. …

Ori Goldberg “… this isn’t the prime minister pushing a narrative. This is the Israeli mainstream narrative … Netanyahu and his government’s policies reflect the Israeli consensus. …This is what Israeli Jewish society actually thinks.

“We are perennial ...
