By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley America is a country that both loves and hates its conspiracy theories. On the one hand, our popular culture is lousy with them, from cinema to the president’s goddamn Twitter account. On the other hand, we host an […]

Today seems to be quite the day for anniversaries!

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Once again, dearest motherfuckers, I feel obligated to reprise my roll as ‘that bitch.’ Do I really have to be the queer bummer who smashes the Buttigieg delusion? Are all the other faggot anarchists busy? Oh well, fuck […]
Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Comosition This was quite a captivating performance. Regardless of whether you support Brexit or decry it, it’s hard not to identify with the mobilizing passions Nigel Farage appeals to. While it remains an open question whether the UK is better off with the EU or without […]
By Jake Recktenwald Rational Anarchy I recently stumbled upon this debate between Patrick Smith, a vulgar libertarian, and Mike Shipley, a comrade and libertarian who does great activist work. Smith, unsurprisingly, says some very dumb things that require rebuttal. This is not to say, of course, that Mike […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Urgh! Ma, do I have to write about impeachment again? Cant I just take the trash down to the curb instead? Yeah, that’s right, dearest motherfuckers, its another goddamn impeachment piece, because apparently the thing about purgatory is […]
Kim Iversen has a great series of videos on this topic.
This is interesting.

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It’s getting pretty damn near impossible, even for a vengeful anarcho-cynic like myself, to deny that the system clearly despises Bernie Sanders. Both the DNC and their moronic B-team in the so called mainstream media seem to be […]

A great interview that covers many topics that are relevant to ATS such as the value of “pan-secessionism” as opposed to “world domination anarchism,”and left-wing authoritarianism. Listen here. “Since Bellamy was here at the start of The Brilliant project it is great to check in where he is […]
Listen here. US President Donald Trump’s travel ban is based on geopolitical reasons and imposed against countries that refuse to join America’s sphere of influence, says a political analyst in Virginia. “I noticed that Belarus was included. Belarus is of course another nation that is widely considered to be […]
My take on the Trump impeachment is the same as Mike Gravel’s and Tulsi Gabbard’s. There are many things that are objectionable about Trump (and virtually all other presidents), and calling him out on those things would be justifiable if Congress cared to do so. But the impeachment […]
Democratic lawmakers in both chambers of the US Congress have slammed the rules of impeachment against President Donald Trump announced by Senate Republicans, saying the process is “rigged” and different from the impeachment of former Democratic President Bill Clinton.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley As the dust settles on Donald Trump’s latest high octane game of chicken with the Islamic Republic, an eerie calm seems to have risen like fog from Soleimani’s grave to take its place. But while the whole world […]
Todd Lewis and Keith Preston discuss the failure of the political left in its historic mission of checking private power.
The United Nations has urged all “foreign” players to stop “interfering” in the conflict in Libya, just a day before a peace summit in Germany aimed at establishing a permanent ceasefire between the two warring sides in the North African country.
Press TV. Listen here. Senior US officials in President Donald Trump’s administration who are “heavily connected” to the Israel lobby and US arms industry pressured Trump to order the assassination of Iranian Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, says a political analyst in Virginia. “The reason he did that seems […]
Balkans Post “An act of assassination carried out against a high-ranking official of another state is an act of war,” said Keith Preston, chief editor of AttacktheSystem.com, in an interview with the Balkans Post. Here’s the full transcript of the interview: Balkans Post: The United States assassinated Iran’s […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley I need to buy a gun. I can’t state it any simpler than that. It’s something I’ve needed for sometime and I seem to feel like I need it a little more each day. The gun doesn’t have […]
Some pretty good insights into how “democracy” actually works: The “people’s representatives” receive their marching orders from the overlords of the empire, which they are then expected to rubber stamp.
A great interview with Colin Powell’s former chief of staff. Pushback with Aaron Maté As millions of Iranians mourn the US murder of Qassem Soleimani, ex-Bush administration official Col.

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley A preemptive strike, that’s what white people call terrorism, and that’s apparently what transpired this Thursday on the tarmac of the Baghdad International Airport. A preemptive drone strike, ordered by our president, murdered General Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s most […]
An interesting statement from an Iranian anarchist group that more or less takes a “pox on all their houses” perspective. Read here. “Qasem Soleimani has long tormented the people and we congratulate the survivors of his crimes in the Middle East, particularly Syria, Iraq and Yemen. And while […]
This discussion makes an interesting argument that multipolarity will create a world order where France rather than Germany is dominant in Europe, Turkey rather than Russia in Central Asia, Japan rather than China in East Asia, and Argentina rather than Brazil in Latin America. Not sure I agree […]
