Weaponizing the Dollar
Weaponizing the Dollar Don’t worry, we’re still talking virus, just from a slightly different angle. I was going to do something completely different, but then I saw an article at the South China Morning Post (SCMP) today that made me think “I don’t think that’s true”, realizing that at the same time many people would […]

Assange Is The Only One To Abide By The Law On October 21 2019, Brexit became an entirely irrelevant issue. Or perhaps we should say it had already become that, but on that date it was exposed for all to see that it was. The parading into a courtroom of Julian Assange in London was […]

Since 9/11, Washington has been extraordinarily active militarily—invading two nations, bombing and droning several […]
Lawlessness
Lawlessness With the news that Julian Assange is “wasting away” in Belmarsh prison hospital, and with UN rapporteur Professor Nils Melzer’s report detailing how this happens, I’m once again drawn towards the lawlessness that all “authorities” involved in his case have been displaying, and with impunity.

Peter Schiff: This Is the Beginning of a Much Bigger Crisis (Video)
Peter Schiff: This Is the Beginning of a Much Bigger Crisis (Video) Wall Street has been on a roller coaster ride over the last few months.

Neocons Rage: International (And Domestic) Support for Trump’s Syria Pullout
Neocons Rage: International (And Domestic) Support for Trump’s Syria Pullout The mainstream press coverage of President Trump’s announcement that he would be removing US troops from Syria has been unanimously apocalyptic. Journos who until a few days ago couldn’t care less about the Kurds (certainly not when US president after US president has used them as a cat’s […]
Trump Walks Back Syria Pullout As Noose Tightens
Trump Walks Back Syria Pullout As Noose Tightens If anyone still thinks that Donald Trump has some master plan to kill off his Deep State adversaries they should check themselves into therapy. I know withdrawal is hard, but admitting you have a problem is the first step to curing it. He doesn’t have a plan. […]

NATO is a Con Game
NATO is a Con Game Marc Riboud Forbidden City under the snow, Beijing 1957 Okay, well, Trump did it again. Antagonizing allies. This time it was Germany that took the main hit, over the fact that it pays Russia billions of dollars for oil and gas while relying on the US for its defense … […]
Who Needs Enemies?
Who Needs Enemies? Vittorio Matteo Corcos Conversation in the Jardin du Luxembourg 1892 Obviously, there are tensions between Europe and the US. Just as obviously, these tensions are blamed on, who else, Donald Trump. European Council President Donald Tusk recently said: “With friends like Trump, who needs enemies?” EU Commission chair Jean-Claude Juncker even proclaimed […]
That Collapse You Ordered…?
That Collapse You Ordered…? I had a fellow on my latest podcast, released Sunday, who insists that the world population will crash 90-plus percent from the current 7.6 billion to 600 million by the end of this century. Jack Alpert heads an outfit called the Stanford Knowledge Integration Lab (SKIL) which he started at Stanford University in […]
Americans Trust ‘Our’ Intelligence Agencies. Should We?
Americans Trust ‘Our’ Intelligence Agencies. Should We? The record is clear that ‘our’ (that is, the ruling Establishment’s) intelligence agencies, such as the CIA, have lied to the public many times, actually lie routinely — but these lies are always revealed only decades later, by historians, which is too late, because the damage was already […]
