The Neocons’ Real Plan for Syria Emerges from the Lack of Rubble
The Neocons’ Real Plan for Syria Emerges from the Lack of Rubble I told you over the weekend that Trump’s presidency was over. As a practical matter it is.

The Coup is Complete – Trump is Done
The Coup is Complete – Trump is Done If there is one thing the last 48 hours have proved to me, it’s this. Donald Trump is no longer acting President. The coup against Trump has been completed. I’m going to keep this simple. Follow the dots and try to keep up. The Deep State’s lies are […]

Italy’s Results are Truly Forza Italia!
Italy’s Results are Truly Forza Italia! Europe is headed for a breakup. But, after a year of watching the EU establishment work the polls just enough to maintain the status quo in the Netherlands, France and Germany I wasn’t expecting much from yesterday’s Italian elections. But with turnout over 73% we got just that. Voters were […]

AI Censorship and the Power of Steem to Preserve Truth Just read a great article by Caitlin Johnstone over at Medium where she discusses the automation of censorship tools by companies like Twitter and Google.

Iranian Protests – Target of Opportunity or Necessity?
Iranian Protests – Target of Opportunity or Necessity? From the moment reports of protests in Iran surfaced I was skeptical of the narrative. It only makes sense to be. So many things are coming together in the first half of 2018 that the timing of these protests warrants scrutiny. The earliest reports were of legitimate and […]
The End of “The End of History” – U.S. Mid-East Policy’s Fork in the Road
The End of “The End of History” – U.S. Mid-East Policy’s Fork in the Road In 1989 Francis Fukayama declared that we had reached “The End of History.” Democracy as a form of government would, in fact, be the end of the evolution of human interaction.
