Thoughts About the Golden Age

When President Trump promised us a Golden Age, I admit I was skeptical. I knew that there had to be a period of adjustment after the pedal-to-the-metal spending and the ornicide — bird-killing — of wind farms in the Biden years. And when Trump announced his tariffs on April 2, 2025 and the stock market tanked, I got worried. The Guardian was right there with the Narrative:

Trump’s promised ‘golden age’ for the US economy is off to a chaotic start

The Guardian sneered at Trump’s tweet: “Our Count...

Martial Law Disguised as Law and Order: The Oldest Trick in the Authoritarian Playbook

“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty.”—James Madison

We are being frog-marched into tyranny at the end of a loaded gun. Or rather, hundreds of thousands of loaded guns.

Let’s not mince words: President Trump’s April 28 executive order is the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook: martial law masquerading as law and order.

Officially titled “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect In...

Meet The Think Tanks Behind MAGA’s New Free Speech Crackdown

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump—and many of his most prominent right-wing supporters—are directly linked to some of the most radically pro-war, pro-Israel organizations in the country. These connections form a sprawling web of lobbying groups, tech billionaires, and media figures who consistently promote Israeli interests above those of ordinary Americans.

Why has the pro-Trump right suddenly pivoted from branding itself as a bastion of free speech to openly supporting censorsh...

Yemen – They Defeated The Saudis, Then Biden, Now Trump

In January 2024, the nine years long war Saudi Arabia waged against Yemen had just calmed down after the Saudis had been mostly defeated, the Houthi movement declared to shut down Israel related traffic through the Red Sea. The move was made in solidarity with the besieged people in Gaza.

To cover for Israel’s genocide in Gaza the U.S. and UK decided to fight down the Houthi and to reestablish marine traffic through the Red Sea. Their bombing campaign showed little results.

Eight month later a h...

The Globalization of War. The Pentagon’s WWIII Scenario Against Four Strategic Countries.

Professor Michel Chossudovsky has been tracking and analyzing the trajectory of U.S. military planning for the last two decades and has been at the forefront of dissecting the propaganda describing these projects as ‘self defense’ or a ‘humanitarian intervention.’

In June of 2018 he delivered a speech to the Regina Peace Council outlining his research and appealing for the re-invigoration of an anti-war movement that would confront what he considers to be a hegemonic project of world conquest, o...

Will America Survive?

The foreign policy of the United States is in the hands of the least capable, most uninformed, and most reckless morons the American education system has yet produced, and their successors, if any, will be worse.

American aggression toward the world is hidden under a euphemism:  “national defense.”  In past years before  euphemisms took over from reality, the Secretary of Defense was known as the Secretary of War.

Washington conducted wars against Mexico. Against the Confederate States of Americ...

The New Pope Must Purge the Church of the Lavender Mafia

Many who have written on the needed characteristics of the next pope have said such things as “The next pope needs to call the bishops to proclaim the faith boldly; to restore respect for the sacraments; to unify the polarized elements of the Church.” Few pundits note that purging the Church of the Lavender Mafia, of the homosexual priests and bishops who run the Church, is arguably the most important and the most difficult of all tasks a new pope will face.

Pope Benedict failed to do the cleanu...

Cardinals: Please, Be Man Enough to Face the Elephant in the Room!

While the sede of St. Peter remains officially vacante for the next couple of days at least, it’s a unique moment to reflect very frankly on the painful pontificate of Francis without fear of being labeled a sedevacantist. In a recent op-ed for OnePeterFive, Danielle Heckenkamp urged Catholics not to “focus on the confusion and the errors of the past twelve years” and to instead marvel that God’s grace has moved amidst this darkness, notably in the “acceptance of orthodox Catholic teaching [that...
