For years Donald Trump had no more committed a MAGA supporter than Rep. Margaret Taylor Greene of Georgia. As a private citizen, she had been fervently loyal to Trump during all the troubles and setbacks of his first term. Greene was then elected to Congress in 2020 and upon taking office fully endorsed Trump’s claims of a stolen election and his efforts to have it overturned. Just days later, the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol by a mob of outraged Trump supporters prompted many to denounce him as an insurrectionist, with numerous prominent Republicans joining that chorus of condemnation. After…

It’s been 20 years since I retired from the Air Force and 40 years since I first entered Cheyenne Mountain, America’s nuclear redoubt at the southern end of the Front Range that includes Pikes Peak in Colorado. So it was with some nostalgia that I read a recent memo from General Kenneth Wilsbach, the new Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF). Along with the usual warrior talk, the CSAF vowed to “relentlessly advocate” for the new Sentinel ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) and the B-21 Raider stealth bomber. While the Air Force often speaks of “investing” in new nukes, this time the CSAF opted…
You might deem it self-evident that words should have meanings, but a growing number of people believe words can mean anything the speaker wants. It seems we now inhabit the fictional world imagined by Lewis Carroll, where, as Humpty Dumpty said, any word “means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” In the recent “what is a woman” debates, some argued that the word “woman” means whatever anyone feels the word woman should mean. Similarly, in a recent social media debate involving the campaign to “abolish prisons” and set criminals free, a supporter of the “abolish prisons” campaign…
If Present Trends Continue: A Long-Term Prognosis for Human Civilisation Introduction: The Question Behind the Question When we ask about humanity’s long-term prognosis, “if things continue as they are,” we’re really asking: What happens when multiple unstable systems destabilise simultaneously while we remain locked in the political and economic patterns that created the instability? The answer requires examining converging trajectories across climate, geopolitics, technology, resources, and social cohesion—and, critically, how these interact. The prognosis isn’t extinction versus utopia; it’s a narrowing window for managed transition versus forced transformation through crisis. Let me be clear about what “if things continue as…
“Various “wars on drugs” throughout history have killed millions, enslaved millions more, destroyed families, are usually just thin pretenses for mass incarceration, mass surveillance, ethnic cleansing, population control.” ~ Kool A.D. There cannot be a war on drugs, a war on terrorism, a war on crime, a war on poverty, a war on racism, a war on guns, a war on obesity, border wars, and on and on. It seems everything in this country is based on the term war, which means that everything is based on force, and in the end, all war is actually violence against people here…
Among the key insights of Austrian economics are that humans act and value is subjective. These observations seem obvious and uncontroversial…essentially truisms. But they’re often forgotten, neglected, or misunderstood. Each person’s perspective is informed by innumerable variables that influence his values. An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long way. An American believes a hundred years is a long time. Is either, neither, or each of them right? Who’s to say? Would a woman rather receive a diamond ring or a gallon of water? As a former president of Harvard might put it, context matters. Is the lady sitting with her…
For more than a century, the Austrian School has warned that once money is severed from market discipline, every institution built upon it begins to deteriorate. Government expands without meaningful constraint. Savings are silently siphoned away. Investment becomes distorted by artificially cheap credit. War becomes politically easy. And political power gradually migrates from the productive class to those who control the printing press. Ludwig von Mises captured this dynamic in a simple but profound chain of logic: civilization requires rational economic calculation; calculation requires accurate prices; prices require free markets; free markets require voluntary exchange; and voluntary exchange requires secure…
Donald Trump is intent upon waging war on Venezuela for allegedly supporting the trade in narcotics. Nonsense. The unspoken military agenda is that Venezuela is the World’s Number One Oil and Gas Economy. “And we want the Oil”… There is another unspoken U.S. military agenda: The protection of the multibillion dollar illegal trade in narcotics. Peru, Bolivia and Colombia are the major producers Worldwide of cocaine. Afghanistan is the “Number One” Worldwide opium producer: illegal heroin, morphine, and non-pharmaceutical grade opioids. In the immediate wake of 9/11, US-NATO waged an all out invasion of Afghanistan, which was casually accused by the…

Writes Ginny Garner: Lew, Speculation about why Rep. Margaret Taylor Greene (R-Ga) has announced her resignation from Congress extends from her concerns about the death threats she has received to her plans to run for governor of Georgia. MTG gave a clue when she responded to Mike Cernovich’s order to her on X: “You need to serve out your full term.” MTG responded: “Do I have to stay until I’m assassinated like our friend Charlie Kirk?” Oh I haven’t suffered enough for you while you post all day behind a screen? Do I have to stay until I’m assassinated like…
Writes Bill Madden: Rising prices are the result of inflation which is caused by increasing the money supply in excess of the goods and services available in the marketplace. Surplus budgets cause the economy to contract while deficit budgets stimulate economic expansion. Since we are controlled by very wealthy families owning most of Corporate America’s stock, we have enjoyed mostly deficit budgets since the end of WW II and, as a consequence, the wealthy families have enjoyed healthy quarterly profit distributions. When we have an economic contraction, many assets like homes, automobiles, etc. are lost to the lenders via bankruptcy…
I showed this revealing documentary to my History students the week the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke. For further information, I recommend the books The Secret Life of Bill Clinton: The Unreported Stories, by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard; High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, by Ann Coulter; Compromised: Clinton, Bush, and the CIA: How the Presidency was Co-opted by the CIA, by Terry Reed & John Cummings; White Out: The CIA, Drugs and the Press, by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair; and Partners in Power: The Clintons and Their America, by Roger Morris. In 1992, Bill and Hillary Clinton appeared on…
A reserve money is used by the world’s people to buy from and sell to one another. If a reserve money is produced by a nation’s politicians, this is both good and bad. It helps the nation’s people buy more products from other nations’ people. But it also helps the nation’s politicians borrow and spend more. When the nation’s politicians borrow and spend more, that forces the nation’s people to invest less and produce less. At the same time, that also forces the nation’s people to pay interest and pay back principal. (Although constitutionally they are required to push back against repaying any debts incurred…
There’s been a lot of hubbub about a working peace deal to end the war in Ukraine. The plan is reportedly gaining traction. Recent statements by officials suggest Ukraine has agreed to the “core terms” of the plan, which many say favors the Russians. But those core terms include territorial concessions and post-war military limitations that some of the most powerful voices in the Ukrainian military and politics have indicated are non-negotiable. U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll held discussions with Ukrainian officials in Geneva over the weekend. And on Monday, he held talks with a Russian delegation in Abu Dhabi,…
This year there have been more news articles than ever about “how to survive Thanksgiving”. If you have not noticed this, I will provide some examples for you in this article. Personally, the idea that Thanksgiving is an ordeal that must be endured is deeply offensive to me. If eating a feast while surrounded by people that love you is too much of a burden, please stay home. Thanksgiving is a day when we our not supposed to be focused on ourselves. Instead, it is a day when we are supposed to give thanks. In fact, according to the original…
James O’Keefe and his team of undercover journalists have caught a senior government official on camera boasting of his efforts to undermine the efforts of the Trump administration. In the video, Steven Putansu, a 16-year veteran of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and current assistant director, spoke about a covert effort by the GAO to unlawfully access vaccine research data deleted by Health and Human Services, under the direction of Robert F.

Don’t let the empire gaslight you into believing you are powerless and helpless. There are always things you can do to fight the bastards, and there are always things you can do to improve your own life. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of believing there’s nothing we can do. Nothing we can do to fight the machine because it’s too large and entrenched, and nothing we can do to change our own personal circumstances because the deck is stacked so unfairly against ordinary people. It’s a strong illusion because at a surface glance it appears to be…
Having a ruling from a panel of three judges is a desperate attempt to create a veneer of judicial authority in support of the actions of Keir Starmer’s outlaw government The High Court judge who granted a legal challenge to the government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action – the first time in British history a civil-disobedience organisation has been declared a terrorist group, one now treated as on a par with al-Qaeda – has been removed at the last minute. The judicial review hearing is due to start tomorrow without Justice Martin Chamberlain. He will be replaced with a panel of three…
International Man: Trump is pitching a “tariff dividend” that would take revenue from new import tariffs and recycle it into $2,000 checks for Americans—framed not as welfare, but as a patriotic return on America’s trade strength. What do you make of this? Doug Casey: Frankly, it’s ridiculous. Whenever Trump talks, it’s clear that he knows nothing about either economics or history. Of course, knowledge isn’t entirely necessary to steer the Ship of State. It’s possible to get by with only luck, bluster, and coercion—but the results tend to be bad. Trump doesn’t have any consistent thinking or philosophy, either; it’s all seat-of-the-pants…
I’m sure there will be some shocking events in 2026, but I could only guess what they will be. There are too many wildcards in the mix, with one big one taking center stage: States. Check any problem and if you dig deep enough you’ll find one or more of these indispensable organizations at the root. The civilized world, such as it was, took a nosedive after the Sarajevo assassinations in 1914 ignited the political tinderbox in Europe. To pay for the massive slaughter that followed, states abandoned gold and turned to inflationary finance and borrowing, in addition to heavy…

“Reflect on what happens when a terrible winter blizzard strikes. You hear the weather warning but probably fail to act on it. The sky darkens. Then the storm hits with full fury, and the air is a howling whiteness. One by one, your links to the machine age break down. Electricity flickers out, cutting off the TV. Batteries fade, cutting off the radio. Phones go dead. Roads become impossible, and cars get stuck. Food supplies dwindle. Day to day vestiges of modern civilization – bank machines, mutual funds, mass retailers, computers, satellites, airplanes, governments – all recede into irrelevance. Picture…
Twenty years ago, there was no greater villain to the left than Dick Cheney. The vice president was called a fascist. He was called a warmonger. He was called Hitler. He was the center and soul of left-wing derision and Democratic identity. Their ire? The George W. Bush administration’s 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, for starters, considered today to be one of America’s greatest foreign policy mistakes. Even a majority of veterans believe it was not worth fighting. Then there was the torture, the rampant due process violations, and the fact that Cheney’s advocacy for extreme executive power made him an enemy of the Constitution. Concerning Cheney and national depravity, there’s a lot to work with. The progressive…
This GRTV video production addresses the complexity and diversity of modern warfare. Digital control over a World population of more than 8 Billion People is an instrument of modern warfare, in liason with NATO and the Pentagon. It’s the “smartphonization” of humanity which repeals fundamental human rights Worldwide. “Economic Warfare” is carried out in coordination with the conduct of military operations. Its objective is to destabilize national economies, resulting in unemployment, poverty and despair. The original source of this article is Global Research. The post War Against Humanity appeared first on LewRockwell.
Sex Lives of the Presidents: from Washington to Clinton, by Nigel Cawthorne It didn’t start with “Bubba” Clinton, or even Jack Kennedy. Ever since the Father of our Country was sworn in over 200 years ago, the White House has seen its share of oversexed, adulterous, philandering presidents. From Washington’s countless bed partners to Jefferson’s allegedly illegitimate children, Kennedy’s notorious womanizing to Clinton’s unstoppable libido, find out the surprising and sometimes bizarre sexual peccadillos and practices of all the men in the Oval Office. Scanning this book is one of my guilty pleasures, discovering the torrid and lascivious high jinks…

From the earliest days of America’s history, our forebears offered frequent and fervent prayers of thanksgiving to God. In our giant compilation of America’s great historical documents, called THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS, we include the very first Thanksgiving Proclamation rendered in this new land. The date was June 20, 1676. On this day, the governing council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to express thanks for the blessings of Divine Providence that had seen their community securely established. By unanimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving, America’s first.…
The phrase “Woke Right” arrived almost overnight. Cultural critic James Lindsay helped popularize the term to describe a segment of the Right that he says imitates the tactics of the Woke Left. Yet it is quickly becoming a weapon used to silence anyone who questions Israeli or American foreign policy. Crisis Magazine editor Eric Sammons notes that those using it often act like “the woke police” themselves. What Lindsay Gets Right In his long conversation with Ami Kozak on Ami’s House, James Lindsay traces the history of “woke” as a mindset rather than a policy list. For him, “woke” is a way of seeing the world through a…
After rejecting a plan that would see Ukraine concede territory to Russia its leadership has come under new pressure. Trump’s 28-point Ukraine plan, leaked by former U.S. envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg, was an attempt to shut the war down – at least for now. The European dimwits, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Ukrainian ruler managed to sabotage it: One camp, including Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and other officials, views Ukraine as the primary obstacle to peace and favors using U.S. leverage to force Kyiv to make major compromises, according to multiple current and former officials. The other camp, represented by Rubio…
U.S. media are incapable of any truthful journalistic service. They are part of the problem. Eighty years after the Nuremberg Trials prosecuted Nazi leaders for criminal aggression against nations, the Trump administration is blatantly doing the same against Venezuela. Yet there is not a word of condemnation in the U.S. media or among European allies. In the past two months, more than 80 people have been killed by U.S. air strikes on over 20 civilian boats in the waters off the Latin American country. The Trump administration has provided no evidence to back up claims that these killings were carried…
The primary mechanism our society uses to determine one’s eventual wealth and place in the social hierarchy is their academic performance. As such, many put forward an incredible sustained effort to succeed at each rung of the academic ladder, and in many cases, at the urging of their parents, begin that effort from a very young age. However, while a variety of justifications exist for the society adopting this convention, there are also major issues with it, such as: • Far too many who go through it and put in a sustained effort to “succeed” end up with nothing to…
