US Deploys Third Aircraft Carrier Toward North Korea
US Deploys Third Aircraft Carrier Toward North Korea One month ago, when we first discussed that in addition to the CVN-70 Carl Vinson aircraft carrier group, the US was deploying two more carriers toward the Korean peninsula, some took the Yonhap-sourced report skeptically: after all, what’s the incremental symbolic impact of having three, or even […]
Will Venezuela Be The Battleground In The Next U.S.-Russia Proxy War?
Will Venezuela Be The Battleground In The Next U.S.-Russia Proxy War? (MPN) There’s no denying that Venezuela is deeply embroiled in a significant crisis.

Catalonia Threatens Spain with “Financial Bloodbath”
Catalonia Threatens Spain with “Financial Bloodbath” Catalonia’s independence would set off Spain’s debt time-bomb.

Truth Has Become Un-American
Truth Has Become Un-American Those of us who have exited The Matrix are concerned that there are no checks on Washington’s use of nuclear weapons in the interest of US hegemony over the world.

Sergey Lavrov Says US Media Reminds Him of Soviet Union’s “Pravda” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a few choice words for the U.S. media during a press conference in Cyprus a few days after the NYT and WaPo unleashed a pair of dubiously sourced accusations about what was said between President Trump and the […]
Neocons Are Still Writing The Script
Neocons Are Still Writing The Script Iran has been in neocon crosshairs for a very long time. U.S. Presidential Administrations come and go, Democrat and Republican, but the neocon script has remained the same. President Trump, voted in as an “outsider,” has adopted the insider script. Today’s speech in Saudi Arabia was crafted by Trump’s […]
Trump Escalates Syrian Proxy War
Trump Escalates Syrian Proxy War At the start of the Trump presidency, it looked like the U.S. covert “regime change” war in Syria might be ending, but it has returned, zombie-like, in a slightly different form, reports Steven Chovanec. Back in February, it was quietly reported that the CIA had discontinued its support program to […]

Blood Sports
Blood Sports What you’re seeing in the political miasma of “RussiaGate” is an exercise in nostalgia. Apart from the symbolic feat of getting a “black” president freely elected in 2008 (remember, Mr. Obama is also half-white), the Democratic Party hasn’t enjoyed a political triumph in half a century to match the Watergate extravaganza of 1972-74, […]

Why Study History?
Why Study History? As liberal Democrats for the most part, United States historians have no doubt been having a field day with Donald Trump’s recently reported clueless comments on United States history. The president’s moronic take on the nation’s past was front-page news last Tuesday in liberals’ and academics’ favorite newspaper, The New York Times. […]
America’s Ready Supply of Enemies
America’s Ready Supply of Enemies The U.S. political process seems to rely on a steady supply of foreign “enemies” to hate, but sometimes politicians overcome hostilities and talk out differences, which remains the hope for the North Korean standoff, says Ann Wright. Enemies of the United States come and go, but the longer they espouse […]
The Real Reasons Why Trump Has Flipped On His Campaign Promises
The Real Reasons Why Trump Has Flipped On His Campaign Promises Back in December of 2016 I wrote an article titled ‘Trump Is Exactly Where The Elites Want Him’, which I think was very difficult for a large part of the liberty movement to read and accept. In that article I outlined the future of […]
