Suppose that the U.S. were at war with Canada. Don’t laugh; South Park devoted an entire episode to just such a conflagration; if they, with their usual keen insight, could depict such an eventuality, it could indeed actually occur. Also posit that Russia took the side of our neighbor to the north in this altercation. […]
Things are rough in the US economy, and the FDIC seems to be making plans to handle further collapse. How? By helping themselves to YOUR money that you have on deposit, safely (you thought) tucked away in your bank account. If I’m right, a lot of people are going to be financially devastated in the not-so-distant future. […]
March 13, 2020 [Note: The day America ‘locked down’.] In a recent article, I explained why the diagnostic test for the coronavirus in a patient is worthless and unreliable. The implications of that fact are enormous. Here, I want to make further comments on fake science. A rational researcher, at the CDC, if one existed, […]
Humans have spent centuries, if not longer, attempting to unlock the secrets of the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramids at Giza, located just outside of Cairo. But with modern cosmic ray scanning technology, archaeologists have discovered a hidden passageway, Reuters reported. Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, announced the discovery of the 30 feet in length […]
Choose one, and only one: a stock market that inflates and pops in an endless series of ever-more destructive bubbles, or a real economy that is no longer in thrall to the engines of wealth inequality and speculative frenzy. “The Fed Put”–the implicit Federal Reserve policy of bailing out the stock market as soon as […]
Brain-dead Biden and his gang of neocon controllers want to start nuclear war with both Russia and China. Suicidal, you say? Millions of people would be killed, but the Biden gang doesn’t care. They intend to exercise hegemony over what is left, with no challenges from the Super Powers they have destroyed. Of course, the […]
Modern Americans have become much more malleable than many would like to admit. Despite those powerful founding documents that enshrine freedom, inalienable rights and the general welfare as driving moral principles of law, economics and politics, very few living Americans fully seem to have a living connection to that powerful tradition which saw eight presidents […]
President Erdogan may be instrumentalizing what happens in the aftermath to craft his P.R. campaign ahead of the next elections. The setting: a cosy Ossetian restaurant owned by two Ossetian ladies close to Istiklal street, a very busy central area of Istanbul. The players: a smatter of Istanbul intelligentsia – academics, media, liberal professionals, lawyers, […]
A large US/NATO trained and equipped Ukrainian army is being slowly defeated by a private Russian military company and Donbass militias. From the beginning the process has been one of slow village by village slug-fest. The question I continually raise is why does the Kremlin proceed in this way when the main result is to give the […]
In a CNN panel last week, the head of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Samantha Power issued some very revealing words on the Russia-Ukraine war, wherein she admitted that the US is at war with Russia but that it’s “Ukrainians doing the fighting”. Her words came during a CNN ‘town hall’ event, which also featured Biden national […]
