Trump’s reported decision to withdraw 5,000 US troops from Germany is a curious symbolic gesture that has been greeted with alarm from many German politicians. The United States still maintains a robust military presence in Germany, with approximately 35,000–40,000 troops stationed across the country—primarily under US European Command (EUCOM)…

Cuba in the Dark: Blackouts, Blockades, and the Next Extraction Play
The lights didn’t just go out in Cuba. The system did. And when systems collapse this fast, it’s never just infrastructure—it’s positioning. What you’re watching right now isn’t random chaos. It’s the early phase of a geopolitical endgame that’s been building for months. Back in May, the signals were…
Contrived Wars and No Peace
The Iran war, like every US war, is a banker’s war. Smedley Butler knew. “Negotiating” with real estate con-men and private equity bros is an obvious indicator. Another is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s public and unrestrained strategy to kill trade, hyper-inflate Iranian currency, and create poverty and starvation in Iran.
Designer Babies: Silicon Valley’s Gift or a Temptation to Play God?
Christ and Humanity or Lucifer and Transhumanism? That is the Question. Is it a dream for the rich, or a dystopian nightmare for us all? Tech entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and cutting-edge medical labs are teaming up to offer parents a choice which used to be confined to science fiction…
The Future is Invasive
The fallacy is that the left only acts violently when someone like Donald Trump is president, masking the inherent violence in their nature. I’ve seen the same vitriol, the same talking points when Reagan and George W. Bush were presidents. I watched the same exact actions taken by Clinton,…
Team Trump Fears a Nancy Mace Governorship
President Trump’s allies are growing alarmed that GOP Rep. Nancy Mace — who infuriated him by calling for the release of the Epstein files — will defy expectations and win the South Carolina governor’s race. Why it matters: Mace, who’s running in a fiercely competitive June 9 primary, has been…
Totalitarian ‘Technocratic Takeover’ of U.S. Food Supply Now in Play
USDA contracts with Palantir Technologies in $300 million deal to collect and analyze data on American farmers. Palantir Technologies, the mega data analysis company, is furthering its takeover of the U.S. federal government under an administration that is more than eager to outsource its responsibilities to private AI-based tech…
What Trump Hath Wrought
Yesterday I spent some hours, first listening to Danny Davis talking with economist Chris Martenson, then preparing a transcript/summary. The conversation was over 50 minutes long and somewhat dense—Martenson is an engaging presenter, but there’s a lot of info packed in. So I did a lot of editing, pruning,…
Viktor Orbán, Down But Not Out
Viktor Orbán lost Hungary’s election last month; nonetheless, I come not to bury Orbán, but to explain him. On many occasions, the people have banished great statesmen to the political wilderness, only to call them back in their time of need. This was the case with both Churchill and…
The Chicken-and-Egg Fallacy
Parallel societies are not the problem conservatives think they are, and dispersal may make everything worse. It is the classic chicken-and-egg question, except the usual conservative answer gets the order exactly backwards. The standard script for most conservatives goes like this: mass immigration from incompatible regions has failed because…
