Pearl Harbor Historiography: A Lesson in Academic Housecleaning, By Gary North The Establishment Cover-Up Continues This authoritative and suspenseful documentary takes you inside the secret activities of the Americans, the British and the Japanese as each nation moved fatefully toward the “date that will live in infamy.” For nearly 84 years, the world has believed President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s declaration that the Pearl Harbor attack was a completely unexpected assault on a neutral nation. Sacrifice at Pearl Harbor tells another, hidden story – using actual recording of intercepted diplomatic communications, declassified government documents, archival footage and interviews with diplomats and…

The conclusion that soaring asset prices mean the economy is strong is a hallucination that goes unrecognized because the entire financial system is hallucinating. Consider the data that the financial sector bases conclusions / decisions on (i.e. the data that the financial sector “trains” on) in a Bubble Economy like the present. The Bubble Economy’s core goal is to inflate the valuation of assets not by increasing utility-value or productivity but by artificially expanding credit and leverage. This benefits those who already own assets, as their collateral (i.e. “wealth”) expands without any effort, and this swelling collateral enables them to borrow money to…
A heist has a scoreboard. After the robbery, you don’t argue about theories. You count what’s missing. For fifty years, we’ve been told a story: that your struggle is a personal failure. That the economy is just “evolving.” That the system is broken. The system is not broken. It was picked clean. The following numbers are the evidence. This is the financial autopsy of the American Dream. CRIME #1: THE GREAT WAGE THEFT The Promise (1947-1973): Historically, there existed a fundamental agreement between labor and capital, often referred to as the social contract, which dictated that for every 1% increase…
Do you have a silver card? I do. I live in New London, Connecticut, and while I don’t get EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfers) anymore, I still carry the card as a talisman. It’s nestled in my wallet right behind my driver’s license. It reminds me that there was a time when I needed help and was able to get it. It’s the kind of reminder we all need — and one that’s in ever shorter supply these days. When I was poorer, that card filled every month with money I could spend on food — fruits and vegetables, oil, spices,…
The Trumpian attack on immigrants is about as anti-supply side, pro-statist and inimical to free market prosperity as it gets. As we have seen in Parts 1 & 2, immigrant labor accounted for 42% of the thundering 3.62% annual real GDP growth during the golden age of American industrial expansion between 1870 and 1920, but that wasn’t the end of the story. During the most recent 50-year interval between 1970 and 2020, fully 35% of the far more tepid real GDP growth rate of 2.52% per annum was due to the increase in immigrant labor. Stated differently, without the added work force derived from…
Whitney Webb is right. America is One Nation Under Blackmail. From the White House to Congress to state governors and legislators to the mainstream media to mega churches and televangelists, they are on the take. And the godfather with the money—our money (and the enforcers to make sure they take the bribes)—is Israel. From Bill Clinton to Donald Trump and every U.S. president in between (with slight hesitation from Bush Sr.), each of these men has been but a mere pawn and puppet of the Israel lobby. For all intents and purposes, the U.S. president is not Donald Trump (or Joe Biden or Barack…

The people of Honduras had not yet made up their minds. So, Donald Trump intervened to help them. The major candidates in Sunday’s election were Rixi Moncada, the former defense minister of the ruling left-wing LIBRE party, who had promised to continue President Xiomara Castro’s agenda; Nasry “Tito” Asfura, a construction magnate who is running for the right-wing National Party on a free market platform; and Salvador Nasralla, formerly of the LIBRE party, who broke with them and moved to a centrist anticorruption platform. In the lead-up to the election, the polls suggested a three-way race with no clear favorite.…
The Trump administration’s killings of scores of Venezuelans are justifiably provoking outrage. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently proclaimed, “We have only just begun to kill narco-terrorists.” Donald Trump and Hegseth are cashing a blank check for carnage that was written years earlier by President Barack Obama. In his 2017 farewell address, Obama boasted, “We have taken out tens of thousands of terrorists.” Drone strikes increased tenfold under Obama, helping fuel anti–U.S. backlashes in several nations. As he campaigned for the presidency in 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama declared, “We will again set an example for the world that the law is not…
Since our society is conditioned to believe all vaccines are “safe and effective” many do not realize the risk and benefits of each vaccine vary greatly. One of the most controversial vaccines has been the Hepatitis B vaccine, which is given to every newborn in the country at their most fragile moment of life despite their risk of contracting hepatitis B being negligible. Bonnie Dunbar PhD has also been in contact with numerous physicians and research scientists from several countries who have independently described thousands of identical severe reactions occurring in Caucasian recipients of the hepatitis vaccine. Since entering the market, the…
International Man: A recent BHG Financial survey found that 62% of Americans earning over $300,000 a year still struggle with credit card debt. What’s your take on this? Doug Casey: BHG is basically a Shylock for the upper middle class. They loan mainly to doctors and successful small businessmen, typically at around 12%. They’re in a position to know when their demographic is in trouble. But why are they in trouble? I suspect it’s because middle-class borrowers have assumed lower-class time preferences. In other words, instead of saving for something you want— a house, a car, or whatever—people want it now and…
Six political prisoners who targeted factories arming Israel’s genocide are weeks into a hunger strike. But in contrast to the IRA’s 1980s hunger strike, this one is being blanked by the media If we truly had a free media in the UK, rather than one serving the interests only of the state and billionaire class, this would be a front-page news story: Six political prisoners – held unlawfully for a year or more on remand, and retroactively deemed to be “terrorists” for trying to stop the Gaza genocide – have been on hunger strike for many weeks in prison. At…
It is a tremendous threat to our survival as a great republic when the media is so willing to spread propaganda to elect Democrats and push their agenda.
Untold giant-killers, and the Times buried its lede.
Trump’s economic policies are not aimed at artificially slashing prices, but at creating the conditions for sustained income growth.
The Trump administration is backing up Musk, and it looks like they may just make Europre great again.
I continue to be impressed by this small island country, but it’s facing a serious existential crisis.
Let’s just say I worry about the message that the movie is sending to America’s young people.
What isn't Trump's fault?
It's easy to order others to commit felonies.
Minnesotas fraud is so vast it's multi-volume length.
Despite leftists' views to the contrary, the U.S. and the western world emerged from a distinctly Judeo-Christian understanding of the human person, law, and authority.
America was built on, mostly, European immigration traditions, values, and culture.

Writes Bill Madde: I keep thinking of the look of anguish on Candidate Trump’s face when he promised to end our war with Russia in Ukraine and the Israeli slaughter of the Palestinians in Gaza prior to the 11/25 elections. He really feigned sympathy for those being killed with our financial and military support. Now, however, President Trump is a totally different person. Killing is fine as long as he thinks that he’s selling the murder to the masses with B.S. justifications. Maybe a good presidential ticket for 2028 would include either or both Congressman Massie and Congresswoman Greene although…

During the past few weeks, the Trump Administration has engaged in an illegal and immoral war against Venezuela. The war violates both United States law and international law. Even more important, it violates the principles of just war set forward by Murray Rothbard. Wars almost always bring atrocities with them, and unfortunately, Trump’s war on Venezuela is no exception. According to an account published by the Washington Post on November 28, “As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors. The…
Sorry, but most of you are guilty of Ignorance and Apathy when you voted for a lying, charismatic Democrat, Communist, or Republican in Congress. None of these politicians give a damn about the people; they are only concerned about reelection and how much they can steal. Democrats and Communists are mean and ruthless, the Republicans are mealy-mouthed and weak. You voted for your own destruction. So your only hope is to 1. vote every incumbent out of office and replace him/her with America-First Patriots, 2. replace the corrupt FBI with honest law enforcement who will jail every corrupt government official…
There is always something new and exciting coming out of Washington. Last week’s big story centered on the presumed prerogative of the United States to kill people anywhere in the world without necessarily having to make the legal or moral case that they deserved death. Inevitably, the impulse to do just that derives from the very top of the government system with President Donald J Trump having on a number of occasions verbalized his national security policy, such as it is, by explicitly stating that whenever his administration encounters “enemies” of the US, the newly renamed Secretary of War would…
Today’s number is 41X, representing the change in the public debt since early 1981, when Ronald Reagan’s first fiscal challenge, ironically, was the unavoidable need to raise the ceiling on the public debt. That is, right out of the starting blocks he had been compelled to embrace the very bloated ogre he had campaigned against for more than two decades. As it had happened, the Gipper inherited $930 billion of public debt as of December 1980, which in part represented the substantial additions during the Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter years to which he had properly objected, and strenuously so.…
It is one thing to produce a written national security strategy, but the real test is whether or not Donald Trump is serious about implementing it. The key takeaways are the rhetorical deescalation with China and putting the onus on Europe to keep Ukraine alive. The 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the United States, released by the White House on December 4, 2025, marks a potentially profound shift in US foreign policy under President Donald Trump’s second administration as compared to his first term as president. This 33-page document explicitly embraces an “America First” doctrine, rejecting global hegemony and ideological crusades…
Greed is good up to the point that it delivers ruin. The primary characteristic of this era is the purposeful confusion of profit and greed, as if they are the same thing. Greed is good because profit is good, and profit is good because the profit motive is the engine of Capitalism which is the engine of global prosperity. The problem with this logic is greed is not the same as profit. In the sanitized version of the story, the profit motive of each individual magically generates the best possible socio-economic outcome for all via the secret powers of The Invisible Hand of market forces. This is a…
I’m glad I don’t have to seek employment these days. Fortunately, my Social Security is augmented well enough by my very modest book royalties, and what I make writing here on Substack and for the American Free Press. I’m not going to be starving. But if I did have to find a job, well…let’s just say that many out there are not that lucky. I’m going to share some information from people I know well personally, along with what I hear from so many who follow my writing. If you’ve read my book Survival of the Richest, you know my thoughts on…
The new U.S. National Security Strategy says with regards to Ukraine: It is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state. The U.S. is pressing forward with that mission. With the help of the Ukrainian anti-corruption vertical (the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), the Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor Office (SAPO) and the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) –…
European civilization is dying. The Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy makes this clear. It has squandered its post-WWII economic and military assistance from the United States by investing in centralized, socialist bureaucracies and expansive welfare States. By chasing the “climate change” con as a means for European governments to justify total control over the drivers of economic growth, European nations have forsaken cheap energy exploration, private entrepreneurship, and technological innovation. By depending upon the United States to defend its territorial interests, European nations have destroyed their military capabilities. In an effort to “juice” their economies with cheap labor and artificial demographic growth, European nations have…
I did not think it would be possible for New York Attorney General, Leticia James, and former FBI Director, James Comey, to be prosecuted. And I was correct that Democrats would protect their agents who tried to destroy President Trump. Republicans are too weak to fight their enemies. Indeed Republicans think their enemies are over there in foreign lands–Russians, Iranians, Chinese, Venezuelans. A Democrat judge dismissed the grand jury charges against James and Comey on the grounds that the US attorney prosecuting the case was illegally appointed. The case was not dismissed on the grounds that there was no evidence,…
After years of lauding the Ukrainian actor, Volodymyr Zelensky as the “Savior of the West,” the U.S. media, including the New York Times, is starting to concede what sensible adults have understood since 2021—namely, that he was installed by the gangster oligarchs who have long run the country for their benefit. Two days ago, the Times published a report Zelensky’s Government Sabotaged Oversight, Allowing Corruption to Fester, which focuses on allegations Zelensky et al. siphoned off and laundered $100 million from the state-owned nuclear power company, Energoatom. Mr. Zelensky’s administration has blamed Energoatom’s supervisory board for failing to stop the corruption. But it was Mr.…
The Guardian has a report out which says that at least 60,000 people were murdered by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) when they captured El Fasher in October, which would be the largest single massacre since Rwanda in 1994. Just in the last few days the RSF have reportedly killed 46 children and scores of adults in suicide drone attacks. These massacres are made possible by the United Arab Emirates, who have been funneling weapons to the RSF through a complex international supply chain. Much like the Saudi-led genocide in Yemen from 2015 to 2022 (which the UAE also participated in), this is yet another instance of a tyrannical Gulf state monarchy…
It’s About Time! The vaccine industrial complex is likely fuming this morning after a federal advisory panel voted to end the long-standing recommendation that all newborns receive a hepatitis B shot at birth. The vote marks a major victory for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” effort to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule amid questions over the exponential rise in childhood autism. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 8 to 3 to advise that mothers who test negative for hepatitis B should decide with their doctor “when or if” their newborns receive the vaccine. Please…
