There are many ways in which investors steal from the public, but there also are ways in which they steal from each other — and Ponzi schemes are merely one example of that, but insider trading is another, and there are others as well. However, their biggest thefts, by far, are from the public, and most such thefts are entirely legal and will be described here, by presenting examples of them. On 4 November 2025, Semafor, a loyal propaganda-organ for the U.S. empire, headlined “Exclusive / As Trump pressures Venezuela, investors see ‘major opportunities’”, and reported: As President Donald Trump takes…

With a changing economy, artificial intelligence (AI) replacing many jobs, and widespread unpreparedness for the job market, the time-honored tradition of tossing their caps in the air to celebrate earning their degrees and starting exciting new careers has turned into disappointment for many college graduates. Statistics released by the Department of Labor on Nov. 20 show that 25 percent of the 7.6 million unemployed Americans in September held at least a bachelor’s degree. With more than 1.9 million unemployed college graduates on the market, the September data show little or no change from that of August in major industries to which young degree-holders typically gravitate. These include…
Recent headlines touting the superior efficacy of Pfizer’s mRNA flu vaccine ignore Pfizer’s own findings that for those over 65 years old, their mRNA product is more dangerous than standard influenza vaccines, which are already ineffective and harmful. The reason for the misreporting by legacy media as well as the prominent New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) is because Pfizer buried the results of its product testing on seniors, which showed heightened adverse effects from the drug. The “results are so bad that it is not clear whether the Food and Drug Administration could or would possibly approve an mRNA shot based on this data,” wrote journalist and COVID…
In 1998, I was invited to join the Napoleonic Society of America by an eccentric man who had converted his large office into a shrine dedicated to the French general and emperor. A vast conference table was decked with models of Napoleon’s famous victories at Austerlitz, Jena, and Wagram, which the peculiar man showed me with extraordinary enthusiasm. “What do you think about Napoleon’s Russian campaign of 1812?” I asked. “A regrettable mistake,” the man said, suddenly becoming sober. “He underestimated the resolve of Alexander I and the hardness of the Russian winter.” “How many of his soldiers paid the…
President Trump has been holding talks with top advisors this week regarding potential US attacks on Venezuela in order to bring about regime change in yet another oil-rich nation. As the western political/media class frames Venezuela’s President Maduro as a “dictator” who must urgently be removed from power, it is worth noting that any US military operation to remove him would be taking place directly against the will of the American public. A recent CBS News poll found that seventy percent of Americans “would oppose” the US taking military action against Venezuela. So here we have the president of a nation which calls itself…
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. Western nations that call themselves “democracies” try to obfuscate this issue by pretending two things: (1) that intelligence agencies work, at all times, for the public good and (2) that…
U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin in Moscow. The approximately five-hour session focused on a revised U.S. peace proposal aimed at ending Russia’s nearly four-year war in Ukraine. This marked Witkoff’s sixth meeting with Putin in 2025 and Kushner’s first in-person involvement in these talks. The U.S. delegation arrived directly from recent negotiations with Ukrainian officials in Miami and Paris, where the peace plan was refined from 28 to 19 points. The media is reporting that the core agenda was the updated U.S. peace…
This article is based on chapter 8 of my book Do Not Consent: Think OUTSIDE the Voting Booth, 2020 If someone asked you to define “free market,” could you? Could you do it on the spot without recourse to dictionaries or other crutches? The term “laissez-faire economy” might do as a first response. But what does it mean? In Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal Ayn Rand explains: Based on a column in the Los Angeles Times, August 1962. Colbert, chief adviser of Louis XIV, was one of the early modern statists. He believed that government regulations can create national prosperity and…

Good news for the Trump team, but there are things that will give them pause.
Trump’s cabinet meetings are a rare display of political excellence.
Here’s where we stand, like it or not.
The meeting between President Trump and Zohran Mamdani revealed truly how thoroughly Trump runs the game.
The Democrats nominated their “AOC of Tennessee”, or exactly the wrong profile for such a district.
If they knew what was good for them, New Yorkers would reject these legislative suggestions and send Mamdani back to the drawing board.
Nothing says “hope and change” quite like bulldozing a beloved public park for a 235-foot phallic tower dedicated to oneself.
Do Christians embrace God's Word or man's depravity?
When I hear people talk about saving Western values, I ask them which ones still exist. I asked a feminist that question and all she could come up with was “male toxicity.” I had just listened to a NPR program on which two feminists talked about Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders being sexually harassed. So why did the cheerleaders fight so hard to get that job? If they thought that their scantily-clad bodies weren’t going to attract male attention, they must have been crazy. And disappointed had no male noticed. Recently over a beer I listened to a former police officer explain how police departments in…
I recently watched the latest television network special on the JFK assassination: “Truth and Lies: Who Killed JFK?” from ABC News. While the names and faces were different, it was indistinguishable from all the other disinfo pieces produced by CBS, NBC, the Discovery Channel, etc. in the past. I watched it so you don’t have to. In 1963, there were only three television networks. On November 22, CBS, NBC, and ABC launched unprecedented coverage of President Kennedy being shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Not the actual shooting, of course. That was never shown. They set the…
It’s the craziest thing in the world that we already have the technological ability to provide a decent standard of living for everyone on earth, but it doesn’t happen because it’s not profitable. We attained the greatest scientific achievement of all time and then did nothing with it. Our society is completely uninterested in it because capitalism is completely uninterested in it. It’s just so insane how this doesn’t sit front and center in our attention all the time. There are people dying of starvation, exposure and preventable illnesses every single day for no good reason. Humanity became more than capable of ensuring that…

Lew, Nine days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, his close friend Tucker Carlson appeared on The Charlie Kirk Show with TPUSA’s Andrew Korvet and Blake Neff. It’s interesting to watch it now to gain insight into Tucker’s friendship with Charlie and their shared faith as followers of Christ. Korvet immediately gave the FBI text messages from Charlie that gave clues to possible involvement of a foreign power in his murder, but Korvet never publicly spoke of it afterward. Neff came under criticism for his recitation of TPUSA COO Mikey McCoy’s behavior immediately after Kirk was hit. Frank Turek makes an…

If each of these is not a part of any ‘reform,’ than all that is being done is pouring money into a monopolizing cartel, just in a slightly different way. Unbeknownst to those of us with little inside knowledge of the complex financial plumbing of the US healthcare system, healthcare is in a death spiral that will surprise everyone but insiders who grasp the system’s unsustainability. To help us outsiders understand the death spiral, I asked a senior MD to guide us through “follow the money.” Trump Blasts “Big, Fat, Rich Insurance Companies” As Lawmakers Propose Ways To ‘Fix’ Obamacare.

As it is becoming obvious that Ukraine is losing in the proxy war against Russia, the ideas European governments are are throwing around are getting more crazy. Some are now eager to ‘pre-emptively’ attack Russia in ‘retaliation’ for alleged ‘hybrid attacks’ against European countries. Those ‘hybrid attacks’ are mostly pure fantasies. Politico was first to report this nonsense: Europe thinks the unthinkable: Retaliating against Russia – Politico, Nov 27 2025 Countries are looking at joint offensive cyber operations and surprise military drills as Moscow steps up its campaign to destabilize NATO allies.

Malcolm Muggeridge was a talented journalist who lived in Moscow in 1933, working for the Manchester Guardian. Though attracted to communism in his youth, the experience of being in Stalin’s Russia and observing what was going on caused him to become disillusioned. Especially disturbing was his realization that Stalin’s army and police were—as part of their collectivization program—starving millions of landowning peasants (known as kulaks) by confiscating their grain. A large and productive number of kulaks possessed farms in Ukraine, which has some of the richest soil in the world. This massive organized crime—known as the Holodomor—resulted in the deaths of…
Just as the news breaks that Trump has issued Maduro an ultimatum to leave Venezuela immediately if he wants to escape with his life, the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal has published an amazingly brazen war propaganda piece titled “How Venezuelan Gangs and African Jihadists Are Flooding Europe With Cocaine.” “Venezuela has become a major launchpad for huge volumes of cocaine shipped to West Africa, where jihadists are helping traffic it to Europe in record quantities,” the article begins, going out of its way to note that “the Trump administration’s pressure campaign against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro — who it asserts is heavily involved in…
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…
