What the Ted Cruz Filibuster Really Means – It’s the End of the GOP as We Know It

There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.  Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.  On such a full sea are we now afloat.  And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures. – … Read more

Military Times Survey: 75% of Troops Oppose Strikes on Syria

It’s always a good sign for an empire’s fortunes when the commander in chief of the armed forces completely loses the confidence and trust of the troops. While we have all seen various polls demonstrating the general public’s complete opposition to unprovoked military aggression against Syria, I hadn’t seen a survey focused on military members … Read more

Harry Reid on the Senate Floor Proclaims: “The Anarchists Have Taken Over”

We’re diverted totally from what this bill is about. Why? Because the anarchists have taken over. They’ve taken over the House and now they’ve taken over the Senate.  People who don’t believe in government — and that’s what the Tea Party is all about — are winning, and that’s a shame. – Harry Reid on … Read more

The Pentagon Admits: The “War on Terror” Will Never End

Guest Post: A Cyber-False Flag?

A friend of mine wrote the following on Friday and has given me permission to post it.  I have been warning for years that the elites want to censor the internet as it is humanity’s most powerful tool; a place where free thought still thrives.  A “cyber-false flag” could be an effective way to escalate … Read more

The Rebirth of Barter

Justice in the hands of the powerful is merely a governing system like any other. Why call it justice? Let us rather call it injustice, but of a sly effective order, based entirely on cruel knowledge of the resistance of the weak, their capacity for pain, humiliation and misery. – Georges Bernanos (1888-1948) Outwardly we … Read more

War is a Racket

My Two Cents:  Really good excerpt here from Bob Chapman’s International Forecaster.  In it he talks about what is really going on in Libya, Syria and with the “Free Baluchistan” movement in Pakistan.  Basically the good old “spreading democracy around the world” US of A is frantically trying to secure as many pieces on the geopolitical … Read more
