The Convention of States Project: A Bad Idea

Similar to Patrick Buchanan’s campaigns, Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America,” the Tea Party, and to some extent Donald Trump’s presidency, the Convention of States Project* will not solve the crises that America faces.  It will, undoubtedly, like most of the previous reform and populist movements be sabotaged by the ruling class if it ever gets … Continue reading The Convention of States Project: A Bad Idea

Maybe the West Should Adopt Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Policy

“We’re All Socialists Now!”

Despite being probably robbed of the Democratic Party’s nomination by the Clinton political machine, the success of the Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign with his advocacy of “democratic socialism” was an ominous sign of things to come and, in some sense, more telling of the political climate than Donald Trump’s improbable victory in November, 2016.  The … Continue reading “We’re All Socialists Now!”

The United States of Terror!

Two recent articles* have again demonstrated that the greatest “terrorist” entity on earth is not the bogymen - Russia, China, Iran, North Korea – so often portrayed by Western presstitudes and the American government, but the United States itself!  Ever since World War II, the US has been the most militaristic, far surpassing all of … Continue reading The United States of Terror!

Is Political Decentralization the Only Hope for Western Civilization?

In the last few months, over 3,000 millionaires have fled the hopelessly corrupt and … Continue reading Is Political Decentralization the Only Hope for Western Civilization?

Only Economic Collapse Will Bring Down the American Empire

The Bomber-in-Chief announces air attacks on Syria Despite the vehement pleas and letter-writing campaigns by a significant portion of his political base including notable media personalities such as Tucker Carlson against military action in Syria, President Trump committed what looks like political suicide by ordering air strikes on Friday evening.  The bombing, thankfully, appeared to … Continue reading Only Economic Collapse Will Bring Down the American Empire

“Strong Dollar,” “Weak Dollar,” What About a Gold-Backed Dollar?
