Writes Bill Madden: This gentleman says it all in 4 minutes. Our military is a battering ram for the major owners of Corporate America. We change regimes for economic reasons, not political reasons. Without an abundance of natural resources, our leaders don’t care if a country is socialist, communist or whatever. I sent the message below previously but am sending again with the referenced video for the many who might have missed it. Like most printed and video communication, discussion of our international oppression contains about five minutes of important information spread over a much longer time period. My desire…

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…

Kirk had evolved in the last two years of his life into an antiwar activist. I also found out Tucker Carlson, who evolved to his antiwar stance about 15 years ago, also personally lobbied Trump against attacking Iran.

In a recent article, The Intelligence Branch Answers to No One, J. B. Shurk posits the inherent danger to self-government of secrecy. “Can self-government exist alongside centralized intelligence agencies? Espionage agencies seek secrets and keep secrets. To the extent that they inform the public what they know, they decide which secrets can be disclosed. Now this may be the only way for a clandestine service to operate, but it certainly does not equip the public to make fully-informed decisions. When choosing which policies or representatives to support, voters know nothing of substance within the classified world.” Recently I heard Mathieu…
On January 16, 2019, 130 acres of rural North Carolina land near Raleigh were purchased by Carolina Murugan Temple (CMT). A month prior, their plans to build the largest Hindu statue in North America were approved by the county. Under construction now, CMT plans to build a 155-foot-tall statue, which will sit on a 35-foot pedestal. It will be taller than the Statue of Liberty, which stands at 151 feet, not including the pedestal. This new development is a continuation of the Hindu acculturation in North Carolina; in October of 2022, the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Cary unveiled its 87-foot Tower of Unity and…
European NATO allies have called a NATO Emergency Summit to discuss NATO’s continued existence and whether the US key partner could still be trusted. Every American signal of US withdrawal brings Russia closer to her target – defeating NATO, not with bullets but with time. This is being recognized gradually by European “leaders”, NATO members which today – 1 December 2025 — came to a climax that called this Emergency NATO Summit in Brussels. Alliances are not marriages. They can and do gradually fall apart. This seems to be the case NOW. It is no longer a question whether NATO…
The knives are out for the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The leaks from the Pentagon about him will continue until Hegseth is gone. The officers do not want a boss who is giving illegal orders while scapegoating the generals and soldiers who follow them: At the White House on Monday, Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary, read a statement that said Mr. Hegseth had authorized the Special Operations commander overseeing the attack, Adm. Frank M. Bradley, “to conduct these kinetic strikes.” She said that Admiral Bradley had “worked well within his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed…
In this essay, I will take on the Putin Hero Worship that is all too common among Russian cheerleaders in Alternative Media. Their misreading of the man and his conduct of the war will multiply 10 times over when a peace is concluded that meets many, though not all of Russia’s objectives. Yes, we told you so, they will be crowing: peace has come because Putin has made all the right moves and trashed the West. However, there is a strong argument to make for exactly the opposite interpretation of what has been going on for the nearly four years…
“The United States boldly broke with the ancient military custom of swearing loyalty to a leader. Article VI required that American Officers thereafter swear loyalty to our basic law, the Constitution… Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law… This nation must have military leaders of principle and integrity so strong that their oaths to support and defend the Constitution will unfailingly govern their actions.”—“Loyalty to the Constitution” plaque located on the grounds of the United States Military Academy Every military servicemember’s oath is a pledge to defend…
A columnist for the N.Y. Old Bag asks why is a guy who’s been dead for six years a top issue in American life? The man who is asking writes with forked pen. He should know, as it’s his rag that’s putting a nonissue on its front page every day. The nonissue covers for the total breakdown of civil behavior in large American cities, a breakdown due to mostly young black and Hispanic thugs. Lefty politicians opposed to Trump’s illegal-immigration crackdown are openly encouraging assaults on cops, ICE agents, and other government officers. Law enforcement agents are now seen as…
On October 23, the Trump administration announced to Congress that it is planning “land attacks” within Venezuelan territory. Such attacks, of course, would be acts of war, and there are no plans for Congress to declare war on any foreign state. Moreover, on Tuesday, Trump declared that any country deemed by the administration to be making drugs for US markets is a possible target for US military attack. Trump also stated that military strikes on Venezuela territory would “start very soon.” Meanwhile, the administration has been using the US military to engage in extrajudicial killings of persons in the Caribbean alleged to…
President Trump said on Tuesday that in addition to the airstrikes on Venezuelan boats suspected of trafficking drugs to the United States, the U.S. military would begin hitting targets on land. Not only are all these strikes unconstitutional by any construction, but they are also unprovoked acts of war against a country that poses no threat to the United States. Since September, the administration has carried out at least twenty-one attacks on civilian vessels in the Caribbean, resulting in eighty-three deaths. Not one of those killed by American forces was charged with a crime in any court, much less convicted at trial.…
Back in March of 2014, I wrote about how the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operates an extortion racket-style scheme via its PreCheck program that gives travelers who pay a fee and jump through a bunch of hoops including submitting to fingerprinting and a background check a chance, though no guarantee, that they can evade some harassment from the TSA itself. In the same vein, starting in February, TSA is planning to roll out a new tax and other demands, termed Confirm.ID, that will be required of individuals who do not have REAL ID compliant identification documentation in order for them to travel from…
When I first wrote (“Murderers for Trump”) about President Trump ordering air strikes against “narco-terrorists” on boats in international waters in the Caribbean Sea, there had been three “lethal kinetic strikes.” The last time I checked, there have now been 21 such air strikes in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, with 83 people killed. The Pentagon has not acknowledged what aircraft the military is using to conduct the strikes, but it is supposed to include MQ-9 Reaper drones armed with Hellfire missiles, AC-130J gunships, and F-35 fighter jets. Because there was no search, seizure, arrest, indictment, arraignment, prosecution,…
President Trump had a very clear choice in front of him starting in January — Try to save America, or try to save the bankrupt Empire that lives at the expense of the American people. The time had finally come, after 100 years of almost non-stop wars, to make the choice. It has to be one or the other. The American people overwhelmingly voted to “Make America Great Again” as it was before the Empire’s endless wars — drastically cut the government and free the American people. But President Trump chose to do the exact opposite, and the results throughout…
The American contract, a combination of Constitution and myth, is unraveling like the marriage of an unimaginative yet loyal wife who wakes up to find the money gone, eviction imminent, and he loves another. Further, in a battle for the kids, or any remaining resources, our lying spendthrift plays cards with the judge and drinks with the sheriff, while we are friendless. This is late stage American empire. Some citizens still refuse to acknowledge the empire, much less our dead broke, meddling, force-driven and corruption-wracked empire led by fools and grifters. But a growing number do. At this time of…
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.

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…
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.

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.
