By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit The more things change the more they stay the same. The only place where that seems more true than Washington is at the border. Obama and Biden built the camps. Trump filled the camps. And Biden is building more as thousands of […]
Did he fulfill his destiny? I would say so. He lured the US empire into a series of failed wars which embarrassed and humiliated the US ruling class on the global stage, undermined the empire’s legitimacy, and contributed to internal fracturing as well. His goal was to repeat […]
But apparently, there is no need for the “left” to reject the State Department, DOJ, DHS, CIA, NSA, FBI, state-connected private intelligence agencies, police departments, undercover cops, the tech-oligarchs, or the capitalist class. A rather interesting approach to “leftism.”
Spencer Sunshine (what loser hippie parents he must have had if they gave him a name like that) and friends running interference for their buddy Rodham-Ross by trying to turn the tables on Norton and Blumenthal. I’m actually not a fan of Blumenthal and Norton. Blumenthal has attacked […]
By David Pan, TELOS What does political theology mean today? At the Telos-Paul Piccone Institute conference from which many of the essays in this issue originated, a primary goal was to discuss the crisis of secular liberalism and “how faith is reshaping culture and politics today.”[1] But even […]
By Matt Taibbi The media business keeps trying to ruin Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog, and they keep prospering. The paradox of moral panic in media. On almost a daily basis now, a high-profile figure in the media business is fired or resigns under pressure, often after falling […]
This week on Krystal Kyle & Friends, we chat with Matt Taibbi about being deported from Uzbekistan for criticizing its president, staying at a monastery, and playing professional baseball in Uzbekistan and professional basketball in Mongolia — but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You’re probably familiar […]
Liberals: “Donald Trump is a tool of the Russians!” Conservatives: “Black Lives Matter is a tool of the Chinese!” Liberals: “Assad uses chemical weapons!” Conservatives: “Iran is building nuclear weapons!” Me: “Away with the Russophobia, Sinophobia, Iranophobia, and Assadophobia. Keep your focus on the real enemy.”
The objective of US foreign policy is to eliminate Syria as a nation that rejects the Washington Consensus, and opposes Israeli and Saudi expansionism. By Matt Purple, The American Conservative Last week marked one year since the coronavirus was declared a national emergency here in America. Yet there […]
One of the many reasons why I favor the overthrow of the US government is that it would likely result in the parallel collapse of the Gulf States, particularly the KSA, and end the US-Israel relationship, thereby giving the Palestinians a better chance. By Doug Bandow, The American […]
The Democrats could potentially become a de facto one-party state like Mexico’s Institutional Revolutionary party for most of the 20th century or Sweden’s Social Democrats between the 1930s and 1970s. However, the Republicans could hold the line with some Christian Democratic-like or Ordoliberalism-like economic policies or rhetoric, combined […]
By Matthew Walther, The American Conservative More than half a decade ago, I began using the phrase “woke capital” in conversation and occasional social media posts. At the risk of sounding like someone’s father rushing the stage on Jerry Springer, I would like to register a disputed paternity […]
The US empire wants complete domination of the Eurasian corridor and Russia is an obstacle to that goal. Plus, the US petroleum industry wants Russia’s oil, the “defense” industry needs Russia as a permanent bogeyman, the neocons want revenge for the Cossacks’ pogroms and the Pale of Settlement, […]
While I am not personally “on the right,” this is the advice I have been giving the right for 20 years. During the 1990s, I came to the realization that the right was destined to lose on the cultural front, and that the totalitarian sectors of cultural left […]
Many on the right trend toward Sinophobia in a way that resembles the Russophobia on the left. But this is fairly interesting. It is somewhat reminiscent of David Rockefeller’s dream of an uber-capital/Maoist hybrid. See this old New York Times article from 1973. By James Lynch, The American […]
https://media.urmedium.com/video//2021/03/19/637517414732431859video.mp4 The United States and China clashed during the first high-level, in-person meeting of the Biden administration held in Anchorage, Alaska on Thursday with officials from both sides trading barbs at each other. The meeting kicked off with senior American diplomats accusing China of threatening world stability and […]
Intense polarization has become a “national psychosis.” But, since few understand how things got this way, most “solutions” offered just lead to more of the same. Learn the nature of the problem from George Washington, Mercy Otis Warren, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Understanding that, there is still […]
On one hand, I am in favor of total freedom of association. If members of a group cannot get along with the rest of the group then they should separate. One the other hand, this is a classic example of how leftists refuse to acknowledge authoritarian tendencies within […]
During the past 50 years, the cultural revolution of the 1960s was co-opted first by the Democratic Party, then by the liberal wing of the corporate class, and then by the state security services altogether. You’ve got to check out this article if you want to know how […]
By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER, AP News BERLIN (AP) — Protesters in Germany clashed with police Saturday over coronavirus measures, with officers using water cannons, pepper spray and batons against people trying to break through police barriers, German news agency dpa reported. Protests against government measures to rein in the […]
Friends from around the world, welcome to The Great Debate! Not a debate where both sides work to defeat one another, but rather where both sides come together to find common ground on the most important issues of our time. That’s what makes this debate great! This may […]
Touré Reed, author of Toward Freedom: The Case Against Race Reductionism, joins the show to discuss why elites have doubled down on identity and explains how we can combat race essentialism by understanding politics through a public-good framework.
By Derrick Broze, The Last American Vagabond Indigenous nations are continuing their fight against a proposed copper mine at a sacred Apache site in Arizona – a six year battle which has lasted through three administrations. On March 1, the U.S. Department of Agriculture rescinded their approval for […]
She’s right that most “anti-big government” Republicans are frauds, but wrong about the supposed beneficence of “big government” itself. The European social democracies that “progressives” are in love with can only do what they do because they are rich with natural resources (e.g. Scandivanian petroleum) and are under […]
By Bear Freeman Benjamin Tucker was against “capitalism” in the sense of a State-supported monopoly of productive tools and equipment which allows owners to avoid paying workers the full value of their labor. This stance puts him squarely in the libertarian socialist tradition. Indeed, Tucker referred to himself […]
Another “broken clock, twice a day” piece from Carson. By Kevin Carson, Center for a Stateless Society Oskar Lange famously said, against the background of the debates over Ludwig von Mises’ economic calculation argument, that a statue of Mises should be erected in the planning ministry of a […]
The Onion ATLANTA—Targeting the series of PSAs towards communities that were skeptical of inoculation, the Centers For Disease Control launched a new ad campaign Tuesday featuring a racially offensive animated mascot in an effort to get more conservatives vaccinated. “We’re hopeful that associating the vaccine with this outmoded […]
By Katie Robertson, The New York Times The hiring of Alexi McCammond, who was supposed to start at the Condé Nast publication next week, drew complaints because of racist and homophobic tweets she had posted a decade ago. Alexi McCammond, who made her name as a politics reporter […]
By Robert Tombs, Unherd One hundred and fifty years ago, revolutionaries were far more interested in democracy than feminism and Marx. When I was a student in Paris, I would spend every 18 March walking the streets of Montmartre, where the Paris Commune was born. I would visit […]
By German Lopez, Vox For too long, America has approached public health issues with puritanical, black-and-white approaches. Whether it’s an abstinence-only approach for teen sex and HIV/AIDS, or refusing to provide clean needles and overdose antidotes to people who use drugs, the country has a tendency to prefer […]
Yangon, Myanmar: When the military seized power on February 1, 2021, ending the brief 9-year period of representative democracy rule and plunging Myanmar into chaos, it triggered mass demonstrations against the coup. The demonstrations began with picket signs and chants of slogans by small groups of protesters against […]
By James Bovard, Future of Freedom Foundation The easiest way to achieve sainthood in Washington is to cover up a federal atrocity. Thus, it is no surprise that former senator John Danforth continues to be treated by the Washington Post as a visionary statesman. The Post showcased Danforth’s […]
By Adam Schrader, Daily Mail Race faker Rachel Dolezal will appear in a new documentary about black beauty in which she claims people who criticize her are ‘white supremacy folks’ and blames her black ex-husband for ‘repressing’ her. Dolezal had pretended to be black for more than 10 […]
By Joakim Book, American Institute for Economic Research I don’t like governments. I don’t like how they are set up, how they’re ruled, how their existence furthers a one-size-fits-all approach to complicated social problems, or how they distort markets and behavior when they grab a share of every […]
By Cathy Reisenwitz, AVN Whorephobia is Real. Sex Addiction is Not. On March 16, Robert Aaron Long went on a deadly rampage at three metro Atlanta erotic Asian massage parlors. The myth of sex addiction and racist hysteria around sex trafficking hysteria have a body count. By perpetuating […]
I wrote this 32 years ago, and it was published in The Fifth Estate, Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed, and (if I remember correctly) Ideas and Action, along with some other anarchist publications from the era. There was no Internet or websites back them. This was published […]
During the Vietnam War, there were some self-described “socialists,” primarily the followers of Max Shachtman associated with tendencies like Social Democrats USA, that took pro-war positions, ostensibly on anti-Stalinist grounds, having been influenced by Trotskyism and anti-Communist social democrats like Shachtman. These right-wing social democrats were commonly derided […]
Joel Kotkin describes California’s high-tech feudalism. By Joel Kotkin, City-Journal “We are the modern equivalent of the ancient city-states of Athens and Sparta. California has the ideas of Athens and the power of Sparta,” declared then-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2007. “Not only can we lead California into the […]

In the 20 + years that Putin has been the de jour or de facto leader of Russia, who has killed more people? The Russians or the Americans? It’s not even a close comparison. The Putinists are more comparable to the Five Families in terms of body count. […]

A more educated John Gotti vs. a slightly less incapacitated Professor John Gill. I can just imagine Biden trying to debate Putin. He could barely speak during his debates with Trump and Putin would be a far sharper and more formidable opponent. Biden’s handlers would have him so […]
He sounds like the kind of incel type who would probably be such a loser he couldn’t get laid even in an Asian massage parlor. That’s probably what set him off. 11 Alive, Atlanta ATLANTA — A crime spree across metro Atlanta left eight people dead and another […]
