By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley As something of a radical contrarian, I often feel like my life is comprised largely of coming out of an endless procession of closets, often without even realizing I’m stepping through the doorway. What? You didn’t know I […]
A very good discussion of the world economy by two Marxist-Leninists. I agree with virtually everything they say except for, of course, their interpretation of the role of Communism in the industrial development of the Eastern world. The Communist revolutions that took place in the East and the […]
Today Lewis is joined by Keith Preston to discuss the geopolitics of Russia.
By Chris Powell, Money Metals Exchange At least the Financial Times now has come clean about its hostility to gold – as well as to free markets and elementary journalism.

Press TV. Listen here. Hostility between major political parties in the US has now reached is greatest level, according to an American analyst. Large majorities of Americans believe the tone of political debate in the United States has become more negative in recent years and the inflammatory political rhetoric could […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley I sympathize with Willem Van Spronsen. Maybe that’s a bad way to start this post but it feels like the most honest way to start this post. A mentally ill anarchist, not unlike myself, Willem wanted to end […]
Press TV. Listen here. Accused child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, is a “flight risk” particularly as he is in possession of a Saudi passport and, therefore should be held without bail, says a political commentator. Virginia-based Keith Preston made the comments in an interview with Press TV Wednesday […]
By Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange President Trump moved recently to nominate an avowed sound money advocate, Judy Shelton, to the Federal Reserve Board.

Occasionally, new readers will come to this site and ask who I am and what I’m about? Briefly, this is me: Over the past 20 years or so, I have written half a dozen books, hundreds of essays, given dozens of lectures, done hundreds of podcasts and radio […]
Tucker Carlson has a predictable response to the Willem Van Spronsen incident. I disagree with Carlson that the Antifa is inherently connected to the mainstream Democratic Party-oriented left just as I disagree with the often-made claim that the Trumpians are inherently connected to the neo-fascists. As a general […]
This is quite good. Totally smashes the conventional narrative that the abuse of migrants is somehow unique to Trump. The same thing is happening with the migrant detention center issue nowadays that happened with the Iraq War during the George W. Bush era. In both cases, liberal and […]
I’m of two minds on these people. On one hand, I prefer these supposed “far left” (really just center-left) figures like Alexandria, Omar, Tlaib, etc. to both the mainstream Democrats and the Republicans because they’re usually much better on foreign policy (more anti-Israel, anti-Saudi, less antagonistic to Russia, […]
My main criticism of the mainstream right is their jingoistic flag-waving, dupiness for imperialism and their corporate-love (“those poor oppressed billionaires paying capital gains taxes”). My main criticism of the “far-right” is that many of them are so anti-immigrant and anti-private crime (particularly black crime) they end up […]
Islam Times. US President Donald Trump’s immigration policies have been extremely divisive and has led to rising social tensions across the country, says an American political analyst in Virginia. “Within the United States right now, immigration is one of these very divisive issues,” said Keith Preston, chief editor […]
-North, Central, and South America will become increasingly integrated into a Schengen-like borderless trade zone. -US international hegemony will begin to recede due to imperial overstretch with international power increasingly being ceded to transnational institutions. -Class relations in the US will increasingly resemble the “Third World” (traditional) model, […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Surrounded by trigger happy Tonkinesque gunboats and drowning in debt, the Islamic Republic of Iran has made the risky decision to play the last card left in their deck; to defy the P5+1 Deal in order to save […]
By Mike Gleason, First Published on Sound Money Defense League Chairman Powell’s testimony this week was closely scrutinized not just for its economic implications but also for its political overtones. Powell cited “trade tensions” as cause for concern about the strength of the global economy. He clearly seemed […]

Press TV. Listen here. The incompetence and division in American politics is not unique to the administration of President Donald Trump and has rather spanned all US administrations, says a political analyst in Virginia.

By Sean Gabb I was called this morning by the BBC. It wanted me to comment on the claims that Sports direct, a chain of sports clothing shops, mistreats its workers – keeping them on zero-hours contracts, sometimes not paying them even the minimum wage, scaring them out […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Why don’t you grow up, Nicky? That’s the tried old refrain that never seems to get older than I do. It seems like I hear it from pretty much all the token adult figures in my life; my […]

nautil.us Brian Gallagher “I ascribe the Success of our Revolution to a Galaxy,” Benjamin Rush wrote to John Adams, in 1812. He wasn’t invoking the astrological. It was commonplace then to associate a bright assembly of people with the starry band in the night sky that Chaucer called […]
By Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange The War on Cash isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s an open agenda. It’s being driven by an alignment of interests among bankers, central bankers, politicians, and Silicon Valley moguls who stand to benefit from an all-digital economy. Last week, Facebook – in […]
This is one of the best analyses I’ve seen to date on what an actual Civil War 2 would look like. It’s political, geographical, and cultural analysis is spot on, although its main weakness is that it largely leaves out social class (which is fragmenting both the Red […]

arstechnica.com KIONA N. SMITH Neanderthals glued their stone tools into place on wooden handles, a new study suggests.

This needs to become a global trend, like McDonald’s. By Harry Stewart The culture trip. We’ve all heard of places like Liechtenstein and the Vatican, tiny European nations with minuscule populations. Yet these are internationally recognized states—actual countries, if you will. Even more bizarre are Europe’s micronations: quirky […]
