The great Gen. Smedley Butler wrote his classic War is a Racket in response to the pointless carnage of WWI. Some 15-22 million largely adolescent boys died for absolutely nothing. That fact that they can’t provide a more accurate estimate than that tells you clearly about the incomprehensible numbers involved. In…
The hippies of the 1960s had many colorful phrases to express their minimalist grasp of politics. Some of these gnomic one-liners, however, held a grain of truth. “Whoever you vote for, the government always gets in” describes today’s British uniparty to a nicety, even if that is on the…
Donald Trump’s reelection as President was a hopeful development for Americans. Obama and Biden had dismantled America with open borders and DEI. Millions of people were walking into the country claiming health, food, and housing benefits. Merit was cast aside, and a system of race and gender privileges had…
Take a look at this video clip, currently circulating in the social media bubble inhabited by the ‘hardline nationalists’ obsessed with the idea of Remigration. As you will see, the message in it is extremely threatening to assorted migrants. So much so that the campaign to popularise the concept…

The Machine is not broken. In a few days, millions of Americans will gather across the country to participate in the third iteration of “No Kings” rallies. These protests will be a visible repudiation of an administration that has made the cruelty of empire unusually legible. There will be…
One always likes a unifying theory, particularly one that explicates a thorny mystery rigorously ignored by the super-culture, by which I mean the world that the educated and financially secure occupy. For instance: why was the preponderance of evidence of election fraud ignored by the courts? How did corruption…
A ‘Consensus’ You Can’t Refuse Perhaps the left’s greatest contribution to public discourse is to threaten anyone who disagrees with them with financial ruin, slander, embarrassment, condemnation, homelessness and prison — and then announce the existence of a “consensus.” Their signature consensus-by-threat technique has been used to prove the…
I have lost multiple restaurants over the past few years. The final two closed last year in California. At first, it was easy to explain. COVID-19 hit, and everything changed overnight. Then came the actor strikes, the writer strikes, and the fires that swept through Los Angeles. One by…
‘Imagine an Iranian President coolly presenting a ‘kill list’ to a foreign ambassador: the U.S. President, Congressional leaders, top Generals. And then declaring, without hesitation: ‘We will eliminate them, one by one.’ Within minutes, the world Press and its political leadership would erupt. There would be emergency UN Security…
