The Hunt for Taxes Brings Down Governments Every Time
The Hunt for Taxes Brings Down Governments Every Time COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong; I live in Germany. I wanted to send my father €200 for Christmas. I had to prove where the money came from. It does seem as if there is a major gap between those trading the euro for big banks and the people. I […]
Self-Reflection at the Twilight of U.S. Empire
Self-Reflection at the Twilight of U.S. Empire There is a true law, a right reason, conformable to nature, universal, unchangeable, eternal, whose commands urge us to duty, and whose prohibitions restrain us from evil. Whether it enjoins or forbids, the good respect its injunctions, and the wicked treat them with indifference. This law cannot be contradicted […]

Rome’s “Empire Without End” and the “Endless” U.S. War on Terror Replaying the Roman Civil Wars in Reverse Since 9/11 L’incendie de Rome, Hubert Robert (c. 1785) That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on […]
2018 – war or no war?
2018 – war or no war? If the first months of 2017 were a time of great hopes following the historical defeat of Hillary Clinton, the year is ending in a sombre, almost menacing manner. Not only has the swamp easily, quickly and totally drowned Trump, but the AngloZionist Empire is reeling from its humiliating […]
Is the Buildup to World War I Being Repeated for WWIII?
Is the Buildup to World War I Being Repeated for WWIII? The great scholar of Turkish history, Taner Akçam, has described today’s geopolitics — the alliances and hostilities toward possibly another World War — as being not ideologically based like WWII, but instead greed-based (empire-grabbing) like WWI: These are wars of power, influence, and control over the […]

Expect Desperate and Insane Behavior From Government in 2018 – Part 3 (War) In the first two installments of this series, I discussed the potential for the U.S. federal government to make some spectacularly foolish moves against its own people in the realms of cannabis and Bitcoin. My basic assumption is that government tends to […]

New York Times Acknowledges US Global Empire
New York Times Acknowledges US Global Empire One big advantage the war party has is the public’s ignorance about the activities of the far-flung American empire. Athough frustrating, that ignorance is easy to understand and has been explained countless times by writers in the public choice tradition. Most people are too busy with their lives, […]
Pay Any Price, by Robert Gore
Pay Any Price, by Robert Gore Empires get stupider and more corrupt as they age. Why are US Green Berets, four of whom were recently killed, in Niger? Why does the US have at least 36 bases, outposts, and staging areas in Africa, located in 24 countries? Why does a website, TomDispatch, have to file a […]
