Conservative Policy, Populist Attitude
Benny Shapiro, a former Never Trumper, recognizes Trumpism has been totally and predictably coopted by the neocon/plutocrat/Zionist alliance that controls the GOP. By Ben Shapiro National Review The danger is that the latter will toxify the former. This was supposed to be the year conservatism saw its end. […]
What is Socialism? Capitalism? Neoliberalism? – Caleb Maupin & Lionel Nation
This is an interesting discussion of the history of the Left from a far Left/Marxist perspective. These fellows sound like Marxist versions of a paleoconservative at various points. Good stuff.

A neconservative-liberal internationalist-human rights imperialist-antifascist axis in service of the Anglo-American-Zionist-Wahhabist empire is brewing.
FOSTA and the Federal Seizure of Backpage.com
The state always needs a moral panic to justify the expansion of its own power. Gay rights are now mainstream, marijuana legalization is moving rapidly, sanctuary cities are resisting immigration enforcement, skepticism of the drug war is growing, support for criminal justice reform is expanding, and protests against […]
Fentanyl, Mandatory Minimums and the Death Penalty: Trump’s War on Drugs
This would seem to go against the general trend toward marijuana legalization, skepticism of the “war on drugs” and support for “criminal justice reform” generally. It’s also interesting how after 50 years of the “war on drugs,” there are now more drugs, more powerful drugs, and more drug […]
Chomsky Among “Progressives” Calling for US Military Involvement in Syria
Chomsky of all people should know that the US fucks up anything it touches. The US ambition in Syria is to replace Assad with a Saudi-like Sunni fundamentalist regime that will be subservient to the US-Israel-Saudi triangle and allied with Turkey. Like the US empire is going to […]
Young People Are Shifting Left on Abortion
Abortion is the issue on which there is probably the most common agreement among social conservatives. There is probably no issue which social conservatives appear to be winning over the long run, and yet liberal and left opinion continues to act as though social conservatives are a dire […]
The Lies Behind America’s Interventions
The anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s and 1970s was arguably the most important movement in the history of the United States, because it had the long term effect of both making the draft politically impossible, and delegitimizing imperialist war to the point where Americans will not accept […]
The U.S.-China Trade Conflict
I agree with this summary of the problem as far as US-China trade relations go, but I disagree that the solution is a return to retrograde 19th century mercantilism. The solution is to recognize that all forms of state interference in the economy have a net effect of […]
Bill Lind on Syria
I concur. By William S. Lind Traditional Right The latest cruise missile caracole aimed at Syria was militarily meaningless. A few empty buildings were destroyed, residents of Damascus and Homs lost a couple hours of sleep and honor was satisfied. The only thing missing was Handel’s Musick for […]
Marxists Look Back on the Russian Revolution
If there is one thing anarchists should learn from history, it’s to never trust a commie. At least with fascists, you know where you stand. By J.P. O’Malley The American Conservative October: The Story of the Russian Revolution, China Míeville, Verso, 384 pages. The Dilemmas of Lenin: Terrorism, […]
Goodbye, Jehovah
The changing religious demographics of the United States. I was not previously aware that Christian orthodoxy had experienced this much of a decline. It also appears that in the future Christian orthodoxy may be the domain primarily though not exclusively of ethnic minorities. The possible political implications of […]
What if Kim Jong-un is Looking to Liberalize?
I’m inclined with the argument made in this article. It is likely that the DPRK is now where the Soviets were in the 1980s, i.e. it’s become a matter of reform or die. By Peter Van Buren The American Conservative On April 27, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and […]
Kanye West Sets Twitter Alight With Cryptic ‘2024’ Message
The spectacle of Kanye West running for President as a Democratic black conservative could certainly change the mainstream political landscape…to say the least. By Lee Moran Huffington Post Did Kanye West just confirm his presidential run on Twitter? The self-styled “greatest living rock star on the planet” set […]

By Rebekah Kuschmider YourTango.Com Who is Candace Owens and why is Yeezy tweeting about her? Who is Candace Owens? If you’d never heard of Candace Owens before yesterday you’re not alone. The conservative commentator who’s been called the ‘next Tomi Lahren’ and YouTube star was working her way up the […]
America’s Polarization Has Nothing To Do With Ideology
Conservative author George Hawley on why the Left/Right Red/Blue Alt-Right/Antifa tribal civil war is a smokescreen. Economics and social class aren’t the main issues either. Americans largely agree on those issues. My advice to ATS supporters and readers is to avoid being distracted by these “issues,” and keep […]
Member of House Monetary Policy Committee Questions U.S. Treasury and Fed on Gold Activities
Washington, DC (April 25th, 2018) – A U.S. Representative posed several pointed questions to the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury this week as to their activities involving America’s gold, including, apparently, efforts to “drive gold out of the world financial systems in favor of the Federal Reserve […]
When Conservatives Become Outcasts
The Southern Poverty Law Center now attacks religious conservatives and mainstream political conservatives in the same way it attacks white supremacist organizations. The further leftward the wider society, government and culture drift, the more people and groups with “conservative” values will be on the receiving end of such […]
The Ugly Coded Critique of Chick-Fil-A’s Christianity
Liberal and left hysteria over “Chick-Fil-A” coming to town is reminiscent of the way the religious right would react to the opening of an adult bookstore or a gay bar back in the day. This article also makes an interesting point about demographics. By Stephen Carter Bloomberg.Com The […]
The Green Panthers: The Bong and the Rifle
This is an old article from 20 years ago about the Green Panthers, a group of militant stoners that advocated armed resistance to the “war on drugs,” and the creation of a “stoner homeland” in northern California. This article first appeared around the time that I was starting […]
“Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners, saints”
This Larry Krasner guy sounds too good to be true. But if he’s for real, I suppose it would be an illustration of the possibility of “reform within the system.” The idea that virtually any jurisdiction in the United States comes even remotely close to being “soft on […]
International Journalist Tells The Truth About Syria
A must watch. A relevant post from a YouTube commentor: “The Assad government may not be all roses and sunshine (And I dare anyone to find me a squeaky clean government, any government), but it is a secular and moderate government. Shiites, Sunnis, Alawites etc. and Christians all […]
Former UK Ambassador Reveals Truth About Syria – With Special Guest Peter Ford
A must watch. Former UK Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford joins today’s Liberty Report to share his vast experience in the region. He has notably deviated from the government/media narrative about the alleged Assad gas attack. How likely is it that Assad used gas? Why are inspectors being […]
The World’s Five Military Empires
Really just the USA, with the UK, France, Russia and China as minor leaguers. By Frank Jacobs BigThink.Com Despite talk of American decline, the U.S. still is the world’s only superpower – if by that you mean: the country with by far the biggest military footprint throughout the […]
What Should Anti-Imperialists Do?
A reader asks this question: Hi, Keith. I am concerned that a lot [of]anti-imperialists are so used to America being the only and worst empire, that they are blind to foreign powers interested in becoming the next America, in the same way anarcho-capitalists are blind to the possibility […]
What Are “Assad Apologists”? Are They Like Those “Saddam Apologists” Of 2002?
By Caitlin Johnstone Medium Isn’t it fascinating how western journalists are suddenly rallying to attack the dangerous awful and horrifying epidemic of “Assad apologists” just as the western empire ramps up its longstanding regime change agenda against the Syrian government? Kinda sorta exactly the same way they began […]
Democracy Now’s “Alt Media” Platform for Humanitarian Imperialism in Syria
By Elliot Gabriel Mint Press News NEW YORK CITY — The dust had barely settled after last weekend’s U.S.-led bombing of Syria before a split in the political class developed. While some Beltway figures, media personalities and former officials hailed the bombings, others decried the “limited” nature of […]
The Spectrum of Opinion on Syria
Surveying the range of opinion that has been expressed on Syria, the positions of various ideological factions seem to be breaking down along these lines. The entire spectrum of the “mainstream media” seems to be cheerleading for the attacks on Syria. Of course, the spectrum from MSNBC to […]
Against NATO’s Imperialist Attacks in Syria
Internationalist Commune of Rojava It’s Going Down The following statement comes from the Internationalist Commune of Rojava, and denounces the recent bombings carried out by NATO forces in Syria, which have been being planned for weeks, and carried out under the guise of ‘humanitarian intervention.’ From the Internationalist […]
The Coup is Complete – Trump is Done
This assessment seems fairly on target. By Tom Luongo If there is one thing the last 48 hours have proved to me, it’s this. Donald Trump is no longer acting President. The coup against Trump has been completed. I’m going to keep this simple. Follow the dots and […]
Keith Preston: Syria Strikes Show Trump Is under Neocons’ Thumb
An interview with the Tasnim News Agency. “The attack on Syria indicates that the Trump administration is now fully under the control of the neoconservative-controlled foreign policy establishment, and that any inclination the Trump administration may have ever had toward altering US foreign policy has been abandoned…,” Keith […]
All the Good Anti-Imperialists are on the Right
Some refreshing comments from socialist and Russia Today commentator Caleb Maupin. While Maupin is a socialist and I am an anarchist, this was more or less the same position I began taking in the 1990s and 2000s during the anti-globalization and antiwar eras, i.e. that the revolutionary left […]
Tom Woods on Syria
Some relevant comments from leading Rothbardian libertarian Tom Woods on Syria: “Well, Woods’s Law is on full display these days: No matter whom you vote for, you always wind up with John McCain. It’s as if the President, in his scramble to imitate Jeb! and Graham, forgot that […]
The ‘anti-imperialism’ of idiots
This is an interesting blog with an extensive amount of commentary about Syria. This blogger seems to hold to some kind of anti-Assad, Syrian leftist opposition perspective, and seems a bit soft on Western intervention. One thing I am not getting from this blog is an explanation of […]
Why is the far right so against US intervention in Syria?
The Left dropped the ball and the “far right” picked it up and ran with it. Now the Left is pissed. What did they expect? In the past, I have heard leftists (mostly the “anti-hater” types) talk about how the far right threatened to “take the game away […]
Keith Preston: Syria strike would escalate US-Russia hostilities
Press TV. Listen here. If the United Sates were to launch an airstrike on Syria, it would certainly escalate the hostilities between Washington and Moscow and even could develop into a direct military confrontation between the two powers, says Keith Preston, an American political analyst in Virginia. Russia […]
Senator Ted Cruz’s Bill to Remove the Inflation Tax from Capital Gains Addresses a Symptom but Not the Cause
Washington, DC (April 13, 2018) – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has just announced he will introduce a bill to end taxes on capital “gains” that are simply a result of inflation. Cruz’s inflation-indexing bill seeks to “expand economic growth and encourage more investment into the economy, helping […]
Hezbollah does not see all-out war over Syria: Deputy head

Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem (File photo) Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement downplays threats of a military action against Syria, ruling out a potential direct confrontation between the US and Russia or a wider war in the Arab country. “We rule out the situation developing […]
US seeking to escalate war in Syria to pressure Assad
This interview is from 2016 but it’s highly relevant to what is going on now. Press TV. Listen here. The US is seeking to further escalate the years-long conflict in Syria through its so-called “Plan B,” in a bid to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power as […]
Insurgent Supremacists – a new book about the U.S. far right
This looks to be an interesting new book from a leading antifascist writer (and critic of yours truly). A few of the comments in the description of this book highlight the basis of the ongoing conflict between myself and the anarcho-left/antifa milieu. Disloyalty to the state is a […]
An Inside Look at How Pro-Russia Trolls Got the SPLC to Censor a Commie
An interesting article from the antifascist side describing the growing split between the anti-imperialist and anti-fascist factions of the Left. By Charles Davis NewPol.Com “An Orwellian destruction of meaning and words — so many absurdities; absurdities stacked on absurdities,” Alexander Reid Ross told me. Fox News had just […]
Tucker Carlson on Syria
Thus far, Tucker Carlson has been, to my knowledge, the only mainstream media figure to challenge the System’s narrative on Syria. It’s interesting how the Republican Senator being interviewed said, “If you care about Israel…” the first time he opened his mouth. What if you don’t care about […]
The Great Lesson of California in America’s New Civil War
I agree with the author of this article that there’s likely no compromise in the Red/Blue tribal civil war, and that it will likely the Blue tribe that wins with the US increasingly becoming a one-party state under the Democrats. Although I don’t share his optimism about the […]
The pseudo-left’s silent complicity in the drive to war against Syria and Russia
It’s interesting to see various far left tendencies coming out and saying what I have been saying about the Western Left for years. “Four of the most prominent pseudo-left websites—Jacobin magazine, which is closely connected to the Democratic Socialists of America; Socialist Worker, the online newspaper of the […]

This Revolution Is Non-Ideological
Absolutely correct. Ultimately, the battle is not between East and West, which merely represent different wings of the international elite. Nor it is about Democrats and Republicans, which merely represent different wings of the domestic elite. Nor is it about the “far left” or the “far right,” both […]
Sex ads website Backpage shut down by U.S. authorities
It is interesting how the state always seeks to capitalize on whatever moral panics are going on at the present time. The biggest moral panics at present are arguably illegal immigration (for the Red Tribe), guns (for the Blue Tribe), opioids and “sex trafficking” (for both tribes). Immigrants […]
