Guard Your Mind Like the Precious Resource It Is
Guard Your Mind Like the Precious Resource It Is I’m concerned about a better world. I’m concerned about justice; I’m concerned about brotherhood; I’m concerned about truth.

The Imperial Collapse Clock Ticks Closer to Midnight
The Imperial Collapse Clock Ticks Closer to Midnight As I noted in last Friday’s piece, Donald Trump Finally Comes Out of the Closet, the firing of Steve Bannon represents the most significant event to occur during the Trump administration thus far.

Donald Trump Finally Comes Out of the Closet
Donald Trump Finally Comes Out of the Closet The firing of Steve Bannon is in my opinion the most significant event to happen during the Trump administration thus far.

The Most Dangerous Fake News of All is Peddled by the Corporate Media
The Most Dangerous Fake News of All is Peddled by the Corporate Media This is not the sort of thing you see in a confident, brave, and civilized nation, it’s the sort of stuff you’d expect to see toward the end. It’s the stuff of craven war-mongers, of dishonest cowards, of a totally deranged and very […]

Certain U.S. Airlines Are Testing Mandatory Facial Recognition Scans on Americans Flying Abroad Just when you thought air travel couldn’t get any more invasive, authoritarian and downright miserable, the Department of Homeland Security and two U.S. carriers are determined to prove you wrong.

Wall Street Completely Owns the Trump Administration
Wall Street Completely Owns the Trump Administration While America’s corporate press remains singularly obsessed with unproven and likely fabricated Russia-collusion conspiracy theories, Wall Street’s well on its way to getting away with financial murder thanks to an army of cronies embedded within the Trump administration. Indeed, Goldman Sachs running Donald Trump’s economic policy is perhaps the most […]
The American Empire Under Donald Trump Has Become Increasingly Desperate, Dangerous & Insecure
The American Empire Under Donald Trump Has Become Increasingly Desperate, Dangerous & Insecure My current working hypothesis is that the U.S. is a late-stage empire about to enter a more serious and dangerous period of collapse.

Noam Chomsky Calls Obsession With Russia Conspiracy Theories ‘A Joke’
Noam Chomsky Calls Obsession With Russia Conspiracy Theories ‘A Joke’ During a recent interview with Democracy Now, Noam Chomsky demonstrated what everyone with a clear head and capacity for critical thought should already know. Just because you have a strong dislike for Donald Trump, doesn’t mean you latch on like a lunatic to every nonsensical […]

Nobel Prize Winning Economist Blasts America’s ‘Rent-Seeking’ Economy
Nobel Prize Winning Economist Blasts America’s ‘Rent-Seeking’ Economy I’m really grateful Angus Deaton was willing to come out and state the obvious. That is, the fact this economy isn’t what we’ve been told. In reality, it’s largely a rent-seeking based system, in which a meaningful percentage of the people who earn the most money are not only not adding […]
Protest is Increasingly Becoming Criminalized in America
Protest is Increasingly Becoming Criminalized in America The historical space available for Americans to engage in public protest has been declining for many years, and is a topic I covered on several occasions during the Obama administration.

Must Read of the Day – Energy, Money, and the Destruction of Equilibrium
