Nexus X HumectressBy Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange The metals markets are being pulled in multiple directions simultaneously like never before. The global virus-triggered economic freeze has caused industrial demand for all commodities to crater. At the same time, mining output is also crashing as virus fears force many mines […]
By Leonid Bershidsky Bloomberg With authoritarian rulers ascendant in many parts of the world, one wonders what must happen for their countries to liberalize. The likes of Vladimir Putin in Russia, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey or Xi Jinping in China are entrenched, experienced and not unpopular — […]
Will the US be a one-party state in the future? In the past, I have thought that as the Republicans’ demographic base continues to shrink they would likely reinvent themselves as a pretend populist-nationalist part (which has since happened with Trump) and that some on the right would […]
Author of, ‘PHARMA: Greed, Lies and the Poisoning of America,’ Gerald Posner explains how Pharma lobbies Democrats and Republicans to influence coronavirus relief bills, and profit from the crisis.

Watch this video, and then read this transcript of a talk I gave a couple of years ago. “Wokeness” is merely the self-legitimating ideological superstructure of the rising left-wing of the upper-middle class, which is in turn being coopted by the left-wing of the plutocratic class. Former National […]
Not bad for a Ross Douthat-fan. Saagar Enjeti discusses new unemployment claims at 26 million, and explains how the economic fallout is a choice by corrupt financial elitists refusing to supply laid off workers with more income.
It makes sense. Older voters tend to be wealthier and more affluent, and as the Democrats’ economic rhetoric moves right their popularity with older people increases. Non-whites tend to be disproportionately poor, and as Trump/Republican economic rhetoric moves left they gain in popularity with minorities. Krystal and Saagar […]
The educationist division of the new clerisy goes looting.
The neoliberals who run the Democratic Party are not Democratic Party loyalists as much as the left-wing of the Neoliberal Plutocratic Party, which means their real loyalty is to the ruling class. That means the would rather lose to the Republicans than allow the Faux Leftist wing of […]
Direct action. By Leah Asmelash, CNN Officials in one California city thought they had what it would take to keep people away from a local skate park: 37 tons of sand. They were wrong. READ MORE
Krystal and Saager explain how the Democratic and Republican establishments support each other in order to deflect the “radical” wings of their respective parties. As I have said, we have three major parties: Centrist Neoliberals, Faux Populists, and Faux Leftists. Krystal Ball discusses polls that show Bernie Sanders […]
Keith Preston of attackthesystem.com joins Antony Sammeroff and Tom Laird again on episode 150 of the Scottish Liberty Podcast to discuss Covid-19 Corona Virus, anarchism and the Therapeutic State as described by Thomas Szasz.
What will be interesting is if the restrictions are lifted and everyone continues to practice them anyway. I guess that would demonstrate the viability of the anarchist principles of direct action and voluntary cooperation. Consumer confidence is going to be close to zero when the economy finally reopens. […]
Mother Nature is cleaning house? By Seth Borenstein Associated Press An unplanned grand experiment is changing Earth. As people across the globe stay home to stop the spread of the new coronavirus, the air has cleaned up, albeit temporarily. Smog stopped choking New Delhi, one of the most […]
Are the anti-lockdown protests Republican astroturf, or a genuinely popular rebellion that the Republicans are trying to coopt? By Michael Martina, Jarrett Renshaw and Tim Reid Reuters HARRISBURG, Pa./DETROIT (Reuters) – Republican politicians and individuals affiliated with President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign are organizing or promoting anti-lockdown protests […]
CBS News An Idaho woman was arrested Tuesday after police say she was violating city orders by trespassing on a city playground that was closed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. CBS affiliate KBOI-TV reports that 40-year-old Sara Brady, of Meridian, was arrested and charged with one […]

Krystal Ball discusses a new survey from Chegg that shows 22% of college students will not vote in the general election, and what this means for the future of the country.
When Trump was running for office in 2016, I knew that he would mostly govern as a normal Republican or neoliberal centrist, with a rhetorically leftward turn on a few issues (trade, gays, foreign policy, etc.), and that his more rightward rhetoric was mostly a bone thrown to […]
The latter part of this segment has an interesting discussion of the differences between Carlson’s and Hannity’s coverage of COVID-19. Krystal and Saagar look at a Tucker Carlson FOX News clip, where he calls out Trump for not doing enough on illegal immigration, which makes cheap labor easier […]
A great example of the application of the anarchist principle of direct action.
Features, Apr 21st Freedom spoke to Ruth Kinna, author of numerous books on anarchism about the origins and key concepts of anarchism. What do you find most attractive about anarchism? I like the starting point. Anarchists usually start with a critique of injustice and an assumption of social […]
Dr. James Hildreth states exosome and virus is the same thing. 80% false positives with the test! Regardless of that flawed test, that will possibly get you removed to isolation/detention under the new laws being passed worldwide.
By Smriti Mallapaty Nature Antibody tests might be used to help stem the COVID-19 pandemic — but first must overcome several hurdles.Credit: Greg Baker/AFP/Getty British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called them a ‘game changer’. Antibody tests have captured the world’s attention for their potential to help life return […]
What would be the implications of Zeihan’s geopolitical analysis for global anti-imperialist struggle? As American unipolar hegemony recedes and the number of failed and/or weakened states proliferates, how can self-determinationists use these circumstances to our advantage? Zeihan’s analysis of domestic US politics is also consistent with my own, […]
I’m rooting for Lori in this. I think she’s being railroaded. By Maria Pasquini People A federal judge in the ongoing college admissions scandal has responded to Lori Loughlin’s claim that the FBI told Rick Singer to lie about her and husband Mossimo Giannulli‘s knowledge of bribes being […]
Conflict between the Prez and the Govs, and conflict between the Gov and the locals. Excellent. Both horizontal and vertical divisiveness. By Christina Maxouris and Jason Hanna CNN A few states are moving toward reopening their economies amid the coronavirus pandemic, but some local leaders don’t want their […]
Just like 1918. By Lena H. Sun The Washington Post Even as states move ahead with plans to reopen their economies, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Tuesday that a second wave of the novel coronavirus will be far more dire because it […]
Is the right-wing of the ruling class using the current situation to pick a fight with China? China has very limited naval power and poses no conventional military threat to the US. By Hannah Beech New York Times American warships have sailed into disputed waters in the South […]
The primary problem that social democrats have is that they are not revolutionaries.
An article on the rise of fourth-generation warfare. By Robert Muggah and John P. Sullivan Foreign Policy Wars are on the rebound. There are twice as many civil conflicts today, for example, as there were in 2001. And the number of nonstate armed groups participating in the bloodshed is multiplying. According to […]
This includes a pretty good discussion of domestic politics as well as international relations. I’d like to see Peter Zeihan debate Alexander Dugin on the future of geopolitics.
Politico Facebook is blocking anti-quarantine protesters from using the site to organize in-person gatherings that violate states’ stay-at-home orders — a move that had brought an immediate backlash from conservatives including President Donald Trump’s eldest son. The world’s largest social network has removed protest messages in California, New […]
LOL. One thing that’s interesting to consider is that if Biden gets elected whoever his picks as his VP will be acting President.
Is Fat Boy/Rocket Man on his way out?
Not bad. Although let’s be clear: Alexandria is not radical or revolutionary. She does not call for the abolition of the state, the overthrow of the ruling class, or overthrow of the empire. She’s merely a reformist. Krystal and Saagar discuss AOC’s decision not to vote for […]
