A comprehensive fourth-generation warfare analysis of the present situation from a paleoconservative perspective. By William S. Lind Chronicles Mobs loot, burn, and vandalize while politicians advocate defunding the police. A commune was established in Seattle and turned into Lord of the Flies while government did nothing. Blacks demand equal treatment from […]
By Srdja Trifkovic Chronicles People are policy and Joe Biden has 2,000 of them. That is, according to reporting in Foreign Policy magazine that his team of foreign policy and national security advisors has swelled to more than that number. A contingent of that size could be expected to produce a […]
By Peter Gelderloos Crimethinc It is vital that anarchist strategy be situated: that we see strategy not as a chessboard from above, as in the authoritarian worldview, but as a perspective on the situation we inhabit, looking outward with our own eyes. Nonetheless, we should not make the […]
By Keith Preston Dissident Voice The issue of healthcare reform is one that is consistently identified by opinion polls as being among the most important to Americans.

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley As surely as the moon wanes and the dead leaves tumble, once every fourth October, it becomes downright chilling to be an American. That’s because every four years, like clockwork, Americans prove every flamboyant third world boogeyman we’ve […]
This is hilarious. The Washington Post, the voice of the deep state/neocon/tech-oligarch/totalitarian humanist alliance, claims their guy should be able to win without bothering to actually compete with other candidates. By Paul Waldman Washington Post If you had to pinpoint when third parties reached the height of their […]
I recently came across this apparently new group. Ethical Principles of the International Panarchist Federation (IPF): 1. IPF rejects coercive proposals which advocate a single specific political and economic system to the exclusion of all others in a given territory. Instead, IPF proposes a new international order founded […]
An interesting proto-type for a kind of minarchist/quasi-panarchist constitution. Clearly, a better system than the present system, and perhaps one that might be a reasonable compromise between anarchists, minarchists, panarchists, and statists.
At present, the rising forces of totalitarian humanism and digital capitalism have formed an alliance with the neocons and deep state in order to weaponize the left against the Trumpists. Once the Trumpists are defeated, the rising ruling class will purge the left and suppress the actual lumpenproletariat […]
What is happening nowadays is more like a situation analogous to the colonists engaging in a very low grade civil over which royal dynasty is the proper successor to the throne, with different royal houses having their own peasant constituencies that they incite against each other, and with […]

This is a fascinating discussion about a wide range of topics with much more substance that this dumbass election.
It’s Going Down throws in their two cents worth. Listen to their original podcast here. My assessment follows. By Keith Preston As for my assessment of the IGD podcast, I agree that if the election is close, what mainstream political scientists call a “constitutional crisis” is likely to […]
He’s Tricky Dicky, redux. Only less Tricky. By Keith Preston I don’t spend a lot of time on Trump-bashing because TrumpHate, Inc. is a Fortune 500 corporation at this point. But my assessment of Trump is and always has been that Trump is a neo-Nixonian, a liberal Republican […]
“And now that the nightmare of our propaganda-soaked techno-fascist stage of late capitalism is finally visible to most (although surely more deadly to the poor), I have to ask the lockdown enthusiasts: What will it take?
What we essentially have going on now is a low-intensity civil war between neo-Nixonians and totalitarian humanists with the actual lumpenproletariat being a wild card that sometimes acts as a third force. Oh boy, here we go. Inb4 “libtard” comments, I am more anti-government than you. 🙂

A social media commenter makes the following observation, although to be fair there have indeed been some burnings of police stations. “This is my problem with the mainstream western so-called ‘left’ these days. These white anarcho-kids can get masses of people out in the […]

A friend writes: “I don’t think I’ve experienced anything as mean spirited and WWE level moronic as our current Manichean political milieu. Herd/tribal mentality not only really does function as an equivalent to an actual brain lobotomy, but it also seems to bring out (with the help of […]
Would a civilian get away with it? If not, then there is one law for the peasants and one for the king’s knights. By Will Wright, Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs and John Eligon New York Times Two very different accounts emerged on Friday from either side of an apartment door […]
By Nancy Rommelman Reason Erin Smith was at a GOP election watch party at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco on November 8, 2016. For the one-time deputy vice chair of communications for the city Republication Party, it should have been a time of jubilation. “As soon as they […]
By Troy Southgate If I had a penny for each time that I’ve been forced to roll up my trouser legs and wade through the congealed sludge of human ignorance, I’d have accumulated a small fortune by now. Yesterday I had the unfortunate pleasure to witness a clip […]
By Caitlin Johnstone Medium Well. Wow. I mean, wow. So in case you missed it, the first US presidential debate was everything the US empire deserves and a fair reflection of everything the US empire is. If Vladimir Putin were every bit the election-meddling demon the Democrats say […]
What Krystal and Saager are not getting is that China is a test market for techno-fascist authoritarianism of the kind that the forces of totalitarian humanism want to bring to the West. Hong Kong is a test market for a future purge of protest movements in the US. […]
