Pediatricians Organization Says Eliminate Almost All Vaccine Exemptions for Children

Pediatricians Organization Says Eliminate Almost All Vaccine Exemptions for Children

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) distinguished itself as an obsessive shots pusher and freedom theatener during the coronavirus crackdown. It was admonishing that children — who were at very minimal risk from coronavirus — be subjected to the quack practices of masking and social distancing to protect them until they became “fully vaccinated” with experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots. The AAP was also calling on pediatricians to evangelize for giving these dangerous and ineffective...

Why is US Intelligence Providing Bogus Numbers of Dead Russian Soldiers?

Why is US Intelligence Providing Bogus Numbers of Dead Russian Soldiers?

I am sort of surprised that no one has done what I am going to do… Provide a realistic calculation of the actual number of Russian casualties since the start of the Special Military Operation in February 2022. This includes Killed in Action (KIA) and Wounded in Action (WIA). Sy Hersh, in one of his recent posts, was fed a line of bullshit by a US military or US intelligence source. I don’t blame Sy… He simply reported what he was told. He wrote the following about the current Russian...

Is the Trump ‘Mystique’ Broken? Does MAGA Sense Betrayal?

Is the Trump ‘Mystique’ Broken? Does MAGA Sense Betrayal?

The Epstein cloud is metastasizing and becoming a rallying point for deep-seated popular alienation from certain ruling strata. The public begrudgingly has become resigned to accept that their “rulers” routinely lie and steal, but nonetheless they (particularly within the MAGA faction) have dimly come to understand that there may be vice within the body public which they regard as too detestable to imagine. People have caught on that Trump was in one way or another (even as a by-stander)...

It Shouldn’t Have Taken This Much For Mainstream Voices To Start Speaking Up About Gaza

It Shouldn’t Have Taken This Much For Mainstream Voices To Start Speaking Up About Gaza

Israel’s top human rights group B’Tselem has finally declared that Israel is committing genocide, as has the Israel-based Physicians for Human Rights. The Israeli organizations join Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UN human rights experts, and the overwhelming majority of leading authorities on the subject of genocide in their conclusion.  The debate is over. The Israel apologists lost. And we are seeing this reflected in mainstream...

When the Bully Bluff Blows

When the Bully Bluff Blows

The United States wielded near-total hegemony from at least the early 1990s to 2014 or so, at which point the first big irreversible cracks began to form. Russia took back Crimea, and took the Donbass under its wing. China began to methodically divest itself of US IOUs. Those acts of defiance threw down the gauntlet, serving notice not only to the masters of empire, but to lesser powers around the globe who were sick and tired of being pushed around and pillaged by the saphead American cowboys...

One photo just confronted every American with a question they cannot escape

A child's hollow eyes stare back from your screen. His name is Mohammad Al-Motawaq, and he is dying of starvation. And those who see it will never be the same. "Behold, we did not know this" In a tent by the Mediterranean Sea, 30-year-old widow Hidaya Al-Motawaq cradles what remains of her 18-month-old son.¹ https://twitter.com/Medo198518/status/1949090160320131332 As NPR's Anas Baba reported, Mohammad "is a year and a half old and nearly all bone. His eyes protrude, as does his swollen...

Militarized Law Enforcement Reaches a New Level under Trump

Militarized Law Enforcement Reaches a New Level under Trump

Law enforcement in the United States has exhibited an exceptional degree of harshness, if not outright brutality, during the initial months of Donald Trump’s second term in the White House.  A majority of the most flagrant examples have involved enforcement actions by the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division.  Numerous stories have appeared in the news media about ICE agents appearing at workplaces and schools to...

Here’s What Gabbard’s Russiagate Report Missed

Here’s What Gabbard’s Russiagate Report Missed

"An easing of tensions and improved relations with Russia -- from a position of strength -- is possible. Common sense says this cycle of hostility must end." Candidate Donald Trump said that on April 27, 2016. At first glance that might sound rather irrelevant to Gabbard's Russiagate revelations. But let me connect the dots for you.The first point is that Russiagate has inflamed US-Russia tensions. That action actually had a number of beneficiaries. Their interests would be harmed by Trump's...

Nobody for Fed Chairman

Nobody for Fed Chairman

President Trump has recently suggested that, unless Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell cuts interest rates, the president might revert to his The Apprentice days and tell Powell, “you’re fired.” President Trump backtracked on firing Powell after the president’s comments caused stock markets to fall. However, it is almost certain that President Trump will not reappoint Powell when Powell’s term ends in May. Media reports indicate the leading candidates to replace Powell include Treasury...

To Enforce the Laws Faithfully

To Enforce the Laws Faithfully

When the IRS announced two weeks ago that it would not enforce a section of federal law commonly called the Johnson Amendment, many clerics rejoiced. The Johnson Amendment -- named for its author, then-Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson -- strikes a bargain with charities. You accept tax-free dollars, you stay out of the political arena. The amendment is the federal law, codified in the IRS Code at 501(c)(3), that permits the IRS to grant tax-exempt status to qualifying charities. The tax exemptions...

From Hero to Zero

From Hero to Zero

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, in February 2022, Volodymyr Zelensky has been elevated to the status of a hero King, pure in thought and deed, interested only in saving humble Ukraine from the onrushing hordes of Russian Orcs. Like Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, but short, thin-skinned and with a gravelly voice. He has been completely immune from any criticism in the west, with all allegations dismissed and labelled as Kremlin talking points. Yet, in an instant, that illusion has been...

NATO Expansion — The Root Cause of the War in Ukraine

NATO Expansion — The Root Cause of the War in Ukraine

I know there is a lot of interest in the Jeffrey Epstein story and the new revelations from Tulsi Gabbard about Barack Obama and his team’s efforts to fan the flames of Russiagate. I have been all over the Russiagate matter since 2017. Here is the link to a piece I published on December 18, 2018 with the nifty title, The Trump Coup Is a Threat to Our Republic. I am glad the information is finally coming out, but I knew this seven years ago. What took them so long? While...

An Offensive Shield — for Impunity, and Genocide: The Iron Dome and U.S. Complicity in Slaughter of Gazans

An Offensive Shield — for Impunity, and Genocide: The Iron Dome and U.S. Complicity in Slaughter of Gazans

The House of Representatives has approved giving Israel an additional $1.3 billion in “emergency defense assistance” for its Iron Dome missile defense program, another installment of countless billions sent from the United States to intensify a one-sided war against the Palestinian people. The Iron Dome system intercepts short range rockets (launched from 2.5 to 43 miles) through the joint work of the IDF, Israeli contractors, and U.S. weapons manufacturers like Raytheon. Radar batteries...

The Untouchables: The Sexual Predators Within America’s Power Elite

The Untouchables: The Sexual Predators Within America’s Power Elite

“Now by coming in and being part of the cover-up, the Trump administration has become part of it.”—Alex Jones, InfoWars Once again, the American police state is choosing to protect predators, not victims. Jeffrey Epstein—the hedge fund billionaire/convicted serial pedophile and sex trafficker—may be dead, but the machinery that empowered and protected him is still very much alive. You see, the Epstein case was never just about Epstein—it was about the entire edifice of power that shields the...

Get Ready for a Big Foreign Crisis

Get Ready for a Big Foreign Crisis

With President Trump’s MAGA supporters in full rebellion over his refusal to release all the records relating to the Jeffrey Epstein pedophilia investigation, get ready for a big crisis in foreign affairs designed to distract attention from the Epstein scandal. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time a ruler engaged in such a strategy. In fact, it’s a time-honored way to get people to set aside their rebellion and instead “rally ’round the flag.” Consider the immortal words of James Madison,...

Did Trump Expose the DC Sham on Waste and Fraud?

Did Trump Expose the DC Sham on Waste and Fraud?

On January 24, President Trump fired 17 inspector generals working for a wide array of federal agencies. Trump’s action jolted Washington because most of those officials could supposedly only be removed for cause — specific misconduct or other abuses. Trump also scorned the federal law requiring giving Congress 30-days notice before terminating such officials.  Some of the inspector generals that Trump axed had done good work exposing government abuses while others had defaulted to the lap dog...
