The Age of Humanism is Ending
I’d say this article is hysterical leftist paranoia. Neoliberalism and cultural leftism are friends, not enemies.

It’s amazing […]

Is the Deep State at War–With Itself?
Is the power elite just as fractious within itself as the wider society? By Charles Hugh Smith OfTwoMinds.Com This is a blatantly politicized “report” that is not supported by any evidence, nor is it supported by the other 16 intelligence agencies. The recent pronouncement by the C.I.A. that […]

Where Do We Go From Here?
