John Bolton wouldn’t be a good fit for any administration: Keith Kellogg

The Left Has Gone Far Beyond ‘Relativism’
As a moral relativist and cultural relativist in the anti-humanist tradition, I have actually been criticized by both Left and Right for holding such views.

Krystal Ball: A response to our critics

What Defund The Police REALLY means
Hint: It doesn’t really mean “defund the police.” Genuine defunding the police would be something similar to what has been done in Cheran, Mexico. The right-wing version of defunding the police would be something more like Latin America with private police functioning as mercenaries controlled by oligarchs, and […]
Tucker: No one attempted to stop Democratic power grab
One important insight that Carlson provides in this, in the midst of his Spiro Agnew impersonation, is that the near universal consensus among the power elite has been in favor of cooptation rather than repression of the insurrection, and that even the right-wing of the ruling class does […]

Richmond Police take suspect into custody near Lee Monument

Did Policing Really Come From Slavery?

Noam Chomsky: This Uprising Is “Unprecedented” In US History

Officer who shot Rayshard Brooks charged with felony murder

Scores of Indian, Chinese troops KILLED after brutal hand to hand combat
At one point, I thought the BRICS might be able to emerge as a unified, effective opposition block to the Atlanticist domination of global capitalism. The more I observe East-West relations and the performance of Eastern nations, in addition to the ongoing conflicts in the East., the more […]
NBC News tries to team up with Google to DESTROY independent media

The Ungoverned Globe

Tucker takes you inside America’s newest neighbor: CHOP

The “God Hates Fags” crowd may be pissed, but the Republican leadership and their plutocratic benefactors couldn’t care less. More wage slaves, more fodder for the imperial legions, more voters to […]

Tucker: Google tries to censor content it disagrees with
As I have often said, the same role that was played by the Church in the Middle Ages is now being played by the media, universities and educational system, Big Tech, Big Science, and the whitecoat priesthood. Google is acting directly to shape what people can say and […]
