Before “Fake News,” America Invented “Pseudo Events”
Before “Fake News,” America Invented “Pseudo Events” In the wake of the Chalottesville riot, it’s been interesting how quickly the focus has shifted away from the actual events in Charlottesville and toward the public pundits and intellectuals are expressing opinions about the events.

The World Is Going Down With Trump
The World Is Going Down With Trump On June 21 the editorial board of the Washington Post, long a propaganda instrument believed to be in cahoots with the CIA and the deep state, called for more sanctions and more pressure on Russia.

Truth Has Become Un-American

“Look Ma, No Hands!”
“Look Ma, No Hands!” The Deep State is escalating its war on President Trump but the Wall Street partiers apparently couldn’t care less. When the machines tagged 2402 on the S&P 500 yesterday, it was surely a historic case of “look ma, no hands!” It’s hard to imagine what more will be needed to ignite […]
The Corporatocracy
The Corporatocracy The interests of Washington and large corporations have merged so completely they are now inseparable. America’s large corporations and its government have merged.

Obviously, I never wanted to see a nuclear war, which would […]
