Nexus X HumectressFacebook is out of control. If it were a country it would be North Korea
The important takeaway from this article is that it describes how Big Tech has now become the dominant wing of the capitalist class, as Joel Kotkin has pointed out (along with the national security state and financial sector). The ruling class is not a unified monolith, but comprised […]
‘We’ve got to do something’: Republican rebels come together to take on Trump
The Republican wing of the Neoliberal Centrist Party attacks the Trumpists. By Daniel Strauss The Guardian Just like in 2016, a faction of the Republican party has emerged to try to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.But unlike the last presidential race, where the effort never […]
Kanye West Announces 2020 Presidential Run
By Sharareh Drury Hollywood Reporter Kanye West announced on the Fourth of July that he plans to run for president in 2020 — potentially to make good on a promise he made five years before during the 2015 MTV VMAs. “We must now realize the promise of America […]
Kanye West Tweets That He’s Running for President
By Brian Doherty Kanye West, the hip hop and fashion mogul whose public moves in the past few years have included a controversial flirtation with MAGA-ism and a turn toward pure Christian messaging in his music, chose the nation’s birthday to announce this via tweet: The Federal Election […]
The Articles of Unity – A Patriotic Plan to Save our Republic (Bret Weinstein)
Bret Weinstein seems to be a guy whose “heart is in the right place,” as a sentimentalist might say. His core idea is correct, i.e. building an anti-establishment movement that rejects incompetent/corrupt elites while rejecting dangerous authoritarians from the far-left and far-right.
Bret Weinstein Introduces the Unity 2020 Plan on Tucker Carlson Tonight – Jun 29, 2020
Almost half of BLM protesters are white; a plurality are suburbanites
I’ve noticed this as well. But unlike most commentators on the uprising, I would make a sharp distinction between the mainstream protest movement, conventional activism like BLM, the far-left/Antifa, the far-right/Boogaloo, statue vandalizers, and exaggerated sports rioters on one hand, and the actual uprising of the lumenproletariat on […]
“White Fragility,” Plus Adolph Reed on Identity Politics
At about the 1:29 mark, Reed talks about how the protest movement has been co-opted by the ruling class, and Taibbi talks about how the anti-statue campaign is a distraction from the “defund the police” movement.
Two people critically injured after car plows into protesters on Seattle freeway
Doug Stanglin USA TODAY Police in Seattle have taken into custody the driver of a car that struck two women during a protest on a downtown stretch of Interstate 5 late Friday, leaving one of the victims in critical condition, according to media reports. Washington State Patrol spokesperson […]
Ohio police officer shot to death in Home Depot parking lot
Will there be a chapter in the future history of The Second American Civil War that reads, “The Battle of Home Depot commenced on what was then known as Independence Day- July 4- in the year 2020, in the midst of the Dark Reign of Trump as the […]
#Unity2020 — is the “Darkhouse Duo” the bold plan America needs to initiate democracy reform?

The Lesser of the Evils or Simply the Evils?
My interpretation of the Hebraic/Persian/Semitic theological traditions is that Lucifer and Satan are actually different characters, even if some major currents within those traditions blend the two characters into one, which is fortunate for the Democratic and Republic Parties because they can both have a viable presidential candidate.
A Long Talk With Anthony Fauci’s Boss About the Pandemic, Vaccines, and Faith
By Jebediah Reed New York Intelligencer Even before he became the point person in a global effort to find a coronavirus vaccine, Dr. Francis Collins occupied an interesting perch in government. One of the few Obama appointees still serving in a major role in the Trump administration, Collins, […]
Happy Overthrow the Government Day!
Do American Indians Celebrate the 4th of July?
Some do, some don’t. Stereotypes, while sometimes rooted in fact, also contain many, many variations. My maternal grandmother’s father was Cherokee, and their family was Methodist. I’ve personally known Native Americans whose politics ranged from far-left anarchist to conservative Republican, to admiration for George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi […]
Hispanic Republicans? Yep, and they’re here to stay
Are Hispanic the new Italians? In recent years, I’ve noticed an increased number of prominent minority conservatives/Republicans. An Iraqi immigrant woman wants to challenge Ilhan Omar. A Jamaican immigrant woman planned to challenge Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez and dropped out. A Hispanic woman running for Congress in Florida bills herself […]
Washington NFL team to do ‘thorough review’ of name, opening door to change
In the interest of truth-in-sports-advertising, all of Washington, D.C.’s sports teams should be given names like the Washington War Criminals, Washington Imperialist Dogs, Washington Tyrants, Washington Scumbags…many other possibilities. By Minyvonne Burke and Doha Madani NBC News The Washington NFL team said Friday they will do a “thorough […]
The US has 4% of the world’s population but 25% of its coronavirus cases
By Scottie Andrew, CNN (CNN) The United States has long prided itself as the world’s shining beacon. But its current status is a much darker one: the globe’s leader in coronavirus cases. More than 125,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US, and more than 2.5 million […]

UC Berkeley History Professor’s Open Letter Against BLM, Police Brutality and Cultural Orthodoxy
I agree with some points made in this article and disagree with others. But I’d say many of the arguments made are beside the point. Whether one believes George Floyd was personally a nice guy or not, whether one thinks systemic racism is the sole explanation for the […]
Remembering Capitalism’s Crimes
By Grace Blakeley Any self-identifying socialist will be met with the question at some point in their lives, how many people have been killed in the name of socialism? They might have pointed out in response that Soviet-style state socialism is about as far removed from the democratic […]
A Statue of Hatuey
By Don Fitz If you look at a US $20 bill, you might notice Andrew Jackson nervously watching statues of Columbus and Robert E. Lee coming down and wondering if his face is going to disappear from currency. As Democrats ponder which militarist they wish to glorify in […]
South Dakota governor calls removal of Confederate statues effort to ‘discredit’ founding fathers
Princess Kristi is merely trying to advance her position within the Trumpist Party by positioning herself as a friend of the right-wing of the Red Tribe. Obviously, the Confederacy is completely irrelevant to South Dakota (which wasn’t even a state during the time of the US Civil War). […]
Protesters block highway as Trump makes his way to Mount Rushmore
This is kind of like Netanyahu holding a campaign rally in the West Bank or Gaza. Trump is obviously trying to fuel “culture war” sympathy on the right because he knows he can hardly run on the great state of the nation. One reason why I think the […]
Tucker Carlson 2024? The GOP is buzzing
It’s going to be interesting to observe how the fracturing of electoral politics into three factions (the neoliberal/neocon duopoly, Trumpists, and social democrats) will impact the two-party system. It’s also possible a “radical centrist” faction will emerge as well (e.g. Brett Weinstein’s latest project, or Jesse Ventura’s write-in […]
Professor Richard Wolff: The coming economic crash will be like NOTHING in history
The capitalism vs socialism economic paradigm that emerged in the 19th century is outdated. Modern states have retained elements of both of these and fused into Burham’s managerial revolution and Kotkin’s neo-feudalism. The new paradigm should be neo-feudalism/managerial elite vs. anarchism. Professor of Economics Richard Wolff explains the […]
Afghanistan War Exposed: An Imperial Conspiracy
Abby Martin covers the whole truth about the Afghanistan War, from the CIA construct of the ’80s through today’s senseless stalemate. Two decades, three administrations, tens of thousands of lives.
Somerville, Mass. becomes first U.S. city to legally recognize polyamorous relationships
I have long believed that a movement to formally recognize polygamy would eventually appear in the US, and here it is. Between the polyamory movement, polygamous subcultures, and immigration from cultures where polygamy is practiced, it was almost inevitable, particularly given the recognition/acceptance of same-sex marriage. Lauren Theisen […]
MPD Members Disband to Focus On Individual Violent Side Projects
By Freelancer The Hard Times MINNEAPOLIS — Members of the Minneapolis Police Department disbanded yesterday to focus on their individual violent side projects, citing creative differences within the force and amongst city officials, a complicit spokesperson confirmed earlier today. “I was feeling stifled,” bemoaned Lt. Mark Kudlow. “Don’t […]
Father Of Black Teen Killed In CHOP: It’s Time To Bring In The National Guard
Because there is never any violent crime and no one ever gets killed in territory controlled by the state. It’s interesting how articles like this advance the premise that an autonomous zone should somehow be a paradisical oasis overnight. By Emily Zanotti The Daily Wire As Covid-19 cases […]
Spanish towns offer new home for statues targeted by protests in US
Good plan. Move the statues to places where people actually want them. By Ashifa Kassam The Guardian A handful of towns in Spain have sought to wade into America’s reckoning with its past, offering to rehome controversial statues targeted over their links to colonialism and centuries of genocide […]
In the Autonomous Zones
By Ezra Marcus New York Times At first they called it the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. In early June, protesters aligned with the Black Lives Matter movement took over six city blocks of a gentrified Seattle neighborhood. There, activists screened films, served spaghetti, painted murals, held vigils and […]
Colonialism, Explained
Colonialism is actually much older than what this author discusses. To trace the history of colonialism, you have to go back to at least the Roman era. Roman colonialism had an impact on indigenous cultures across the Eurasian landmass that was similar to the impact of Western colonialism […]
A Conversation w/ ‘Green Anarchist’ Bellamy Fitzpatrick
Pete invited Bellamy Fitzpatrick to come on the show. Bellamy is a self-described “Green Anarchist” who joins Pete to have a conversation that includes an explanation of what G.A. means to him and to find some common ground among people who realize that, first and foremost, the State […]
What is Justice? A discussion on pan anarchism with Richard Cheimison
The Mindcrime Liberty Show along with Richard Cheimison discusses what is justice and whether it exists in any meaningful sense. Is justice merely power or is it something else. What is the foundation of justice other than whatever the state and its courts/police say?
The Case against Revolution with Ayaan Hirsi Ali
A pro-reformist contribution to the reform vs. revolution debate. We need both Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine, both of whom were proto-anarchists. Burke’s “Vindication of Natural Society” is essentially an anarcho-libertarian document, and Paine was what would today be called a minarchist with economic views similar to those […]

BACKLASH GROWS against Fauci after mask lies admitted on tape

Working Families Party breaks down TREMENDOUS success after progressive wins nationwide
The fact that progressives are a growing insurgency among the Democrats, that Qanon types are winning primaries as Republicans, and public intellectuals and celebrities are trying to launch third parties shows that a lot of folks are getting pissed off at the system. State Director of the New […]
Bret Weinstein breaks down Dark Horse Duo plan to save republic
Weinstein’s group has a proposal for a “radical center” third-party ticket featuring Andrew Yang and Admiral McRaven. Visiting Fellow Dr. Bret Weinstein at the James Madison Program at Princeton discusses why he is calling for unity of the center-left and center-right.
Intel FALLS APART on Russian bounties as neocons, Biden want MORE WAR in Afghanistan
Saagar Enjeti blasts responses to the Russian bounty reports that provoke action against Russia and threaten the security of American soldiers in Afghanistan.
Top Biden Nastec Aide RAN THE DRONE KILL LIST under Obama
A Biden regime will likely be a “ruling class unity” government that includes Hillaryites, “human rights imperialists” like Samantha Power, Bush Republicans, neocons, Boltonesque hawks, and Israel-firsters, with “woke” social policies being used to pacify the left-wing of the Democratic Party and co-opt left activism while strengthening recent […]
GOP Senators try to KILL Columbus Day to stop workers from having too many Holidays
Wow. Someone actually recognizes this. Democrats and Republicans are the left and right wings of the Neo-Feudalism Party.
Big business wants Facebook to CENSOR anti-establishment voices
Well, at least we know which firms to attack during the next wave of uprisings (if we didn’t already). And intra-ruling class conflict is always welcome. It’s also interesting how “hate” has become the new “obscenity.” It shows that the ruling class can always use whatever mores are […]
Decentralist Anarchy versus World Domination Anarchism
By Bellamy Fitzpatrick, The Brilliant “Do you think you can take over the universe and improve it? I do not believe it can be done. The universe is sacred. You cannot improve it. If you try to change it, you will ruin it. If you try to hold […]
