The Real Bleep-Hole Moment—–$40 Trillion And Counting
The Real Bleep-Hole Moment—–$40 Trillion And Counting You can call it the bleep-hole moment (per the Fox “family channel”) or the shit-hole moment (per the rest of the MSM), but what you can’t call yesterday’s contretemps in the White House is evidence that sentient adults are in charge of the Imperial City. And, no, we are not getting down on the […]
2018: The Year of Living Dangerously
2018: The Year of Living Dangerously I’m calling 2018 “The Year of Living Dangerously.” That description might seem odd to lot of observers. Major U.S. stock indexes keep hitting new all-time highs. 2017 went down as the first calendar year in which the Dow Jones industrial average was up for all 12 months. Even in […]

How America Spreads Global Chaos
How America Spreads Global Chaos The U.S. government may pretend to respect a “rules-based” global order, but the only rule Washington seems to follow is “might makes right” — and the CIA has long served as a chief instigator and enforcer, writes Nicolas J.S. Davies. As the recent PBS documentary on the American War in […]
Mutual Assured Destruction
Mutual Assured Destruction Sometimes it is possible to read or view something that completely changes the way one looks at things. I had that experience last week when I read an article at Lobelog entitled “A Plea for Common Sense on Missile Defense,” written by Joe Cirincione, a former staffer on the House Armed Services Committee who […]
Donald Trump: Warmonger-in-Chief!
Donald Trump: Warmonger-in-Chief! If a world conflagration, God forbid, should break out during the Trump Administration, its genesis will not be too hard to discover: the thin-skinned, immature, shallow, doofus which currently resides in the Oval Office! This past week, the Donald has continued his bellicose talk with both veiled and explicit threats against purported […]
Rickards On “The Fragility Of The North Korean Nuclear Showdown”
Rickards On “The Fragility Of The North Korean Nuclear Showdown” Amid today’s contradictory statements from President Trump that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson “is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man… Save your energy Rex, we’ll do what has to be done!” and The State Department’s statement that “The White House is […]
Trump Commits To Using “Nuclear Capabilities” To Defend US Terroritory, Allies
Trump Commits To Using “Nuclear Capabilities” To Defend US Terroritory, Allies In what we believe is a significant escalation and potentially a hint as to the president’s thinking, President Trump said during a phone call with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that the US remains committed to defending its territories and allies using all “diplomatic, […]
China Slams White House For Latest Sanctions On “Close Ally” Venezuela
China Slams White House For Latest Sanctions On “Close Ally” Venezuela Shortly after the White House unveiled new sanctions last Friday against Venezuela while prohibiting U.S. trading in various bonds issued by the country (while exempting the notorious Goldman “Hunger Bonds”), Venezuela’s “close ally” China slammed the latest diplomatic crackdown and said on Monday that […]
The Goldman Sachs Regency
The Goldman Sachs Regency There’s not many tears being shed over Steve Bannon’s departure. His ethno-nationalist and protectionist worldview are opposite to true notions of liberty, free markets and a minimalist state. While Bannonism presented itself as a coherent alternative ideology to mainstream Big Government, it actually boiled down to an incoherent potpourri of cultural […]

Trump’s Currency War Battle with China Goes
Trump’s Currency War Battle with China Goes Live Welcome to the currency wars. The Trump administration has entered a new low in relations with China. The change comes after the White House announced it is officially beginning to take aim at China’s economic strategy. As friction between the world’s greatest economic powers deteriorates toward a […]
Syria Denies Plans For A Chemical Attack As Russia Accuses US Of “Provocation”
Syria Denies Plans For A Chemical Attack As Russia Accuses US Of “Provocation” The Syrian government dismissed the White House’s unsubstantiated, and bizarrely ominous late Monday night allegations that it was preparing a new chemical weapons attack. According to AP, Ali Haidar, the Syrian minister for national reconciliation, dismissed the White House’s warning and said […]
Save Liberty, Shut Down the Government
Save Liberty, Shut Down the Government Congress ended the week by passing a continuing resolution keeping the government funded for one more week. This stopgap funding bill is designed to give Congress and the White House more time to negotiate a long-term spending bill. Passage of a long-term spending bill has been delayed over objections […]
Is That Armageddon Over The Horizon?
Is That Armageddon Over The Horizon? The insouciance of the Western world is extraordinary. It is not only Americans who permit themselves to be brainwashed by CNN, MSNBC, NPR, the New York Times and Washington Post, but also their counterparts in Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan, who rely on the war propaganda machine that poses […]
