What My Friends on the Left Need to Know About the Green New Deal
What My Friends on the Left Need to Know About the Green New Deal “Nowhere has our public discourse failed us more egregiously than on the environment and climate change,” I wrote last year while reviewing the first sketches of a proposed Green New Deal.

New Monetary Theory is Like Sleepwalking
New Monetary Theory is Like Sleepwalking QUESTION: Bernie Sanders was basing his whole economic proposal to just keep spending and make everything free. They seem to be teaching this in school now.

Responding to Bernie’s Promotion of the New Cold War
Responding to Bernie’s Promotion of the New Cold War In this op-ed, Caitlin Johnstone responds to Bernie Sanders’ promotion of unproven allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Nobody Called Anyone An Ignorant Slut
Nobody Called Anyone An Ignorant Slut Salvador Dalí The discovery of America by Christopher Columbus 1959Let’s get one thing straight: Donald Trump is as American as apple pie (even if both are imports). He’s brash and loud and abrasive and entirely focused on money, he’s given to exaggeration, he stretches the truth, he constantly seeks […]
“Liberal Socialism” — Another False Utopia
“Liberal Socialism” — Another False Utopia Very often bad and failed ideas do not die, they simply reappear during periods of supposed social and political crisis in slightly different intellectual garb, and offer “solutions” that would merely help to bring about some of the very types of crises for which they once again claim to […]

The Smoking Gun: “Document 17” Links Saudi Embassy In Washington To Sept 11 With the topic of Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the Sept 11 attack on everyone’s lips, if certainly not those of president Obama who is currently in Riyadh where he is meeting with members of Saudi royalty in what may be his last […]
“Free Stuff” Isn’t All That It’s Cracked Up to Be
“Free Stuff” Isn’t All That It’s Cracked Up to Be To my British and American friends who must deal with the socialist nonsense of Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn, I found this poem. It was written by Rudyard Kipling, the writer most hated by English Socialists in the 40s and an opponent to the interventionist […]
Wait a Minute–Who’s Fascist?
Wait a Minute–Who’s Fascist? The core belief of the Establishment is the central state should run everything. If you’re an Establishment insider, the mainstream media will give you plenty of column inches and airtime to label Donald Trump a “dangerous” fascist: for example, Democratic insider Robert Reich’s fear-mongering frenzy Donald Trump is a 21st century American fascist, […]

What Does The Federal Reserve Have to Hide?

The legislation is always rejected and, when it gets any significant attention at […]

Fork the Economy I’ve given up on fixing the economy. The economy is not broken. It’s simply unjust. There’s a difference. We have to stop looking at our economy as a broken system, but one that is working absolutely true to its original design. It’s time to be progressive — and this means initiating systemic […]
