The Forgotten Cancer Cure Hiding in Plain Sight
Over the last six months, I’ve worked to bring the public’s attention to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) a forgotten natural therapy which rapidly treats a wide range of conditions and that many studies have shown is very safe (provided it’s used correctly), and, most importantly (thanks to the 1994 DSHEA act which legalized all natural therapies) is now readily […]
Rand Paul on China, Free Speech, and Banning TikTok
Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) has opposed the TikTok ban since it caught on in Congress. In January, sensing a congressional attitude shift after President Donald Trump came to the app’s defense, Paul introduced the Repeal the TikTok Ban Act. The bill is part of Paul’s broader project of trying to keep alive a “consistently free trade […]
What Is Truth?
There can be no justification at all for the view expressed widely in the twentieth century and into our own, that the very existence of truth is contingent on somehow being able to define the term in human languages for a group of people! This astounding exercise in hubris tries to make us believe that […]
Why China Won’t Call a ‘Tariff-Wielding Barbarian’
Three wise monkeys are perfectly aware of what a pigeon posing as eagle is really up to. The Toddler Temper Tantrum-style Trump Tariff Tizzy (TTT), now accelerated to 145% – and counting – is yet another thunderous trademark pigeon smashing the chessboard gambit. It won’t work.

There are a number of discussions about a potentially imminent U.S. war on Iran. Yves Smith at Naked Capitalism concludes that a war is more likely than not. Crooke, Mercouris and Diesen are ambivalent (vid) but also seem to expect a conflict. President Trump (or, more correct, Netanyahoo behind him) has made demands towards Iran that are designed to be […]

Less Is Still Too Much
President Trump says he want to “go back, probably, to a 2020 standard” as regards federal mandatory miles-per-gallon edicts – the latter being the right word because it’s the honest word. A “standard” is an objective value of some kind, used to evaluate whether a given thing rises to that standard. Federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) “standards,” on […]
Trump Backs Away From Improving Relations With Russia
Trump gives in to the military/security complex, renews weapons to Ukraine and extends sanctions on Russia for a year. On April 10 Trump declared a continuation of the national emergency with Russia and renewed President Biden’s April 2021 executive order declaring Russia to be an “unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, […]
