Ten days ago a sudden surprise Israeli attack inflicted a terrible, decapitating blow upon the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran, successfully assassinating the country’s top military commanders, its chief nuclear weapons negotiator, and nearly all of its most prominent nuclear scientists. Many of these victims were killed in their own homes together with their family […]
The effort on my part to tell the truth is costly, not merely financially. The large costs are to my reputation and to my freedom. For example, some years ago a website called PropOrNot, funded by we-don’t-know-who, perhaps the US Department of State, or US AID, or George Soros, or Israel, identified me as a “Putin agent/dupe.” I was […]
Many people, including me, are still not sure what Trump’s revolution – in trade, international relations and in his fight against the U.S government at large – is all about. Trump, it seems, sees that the current path the U.S. is on, with ever increasing deficits and debt, is unsustainable. He and his people argue […]
* Warning: indelicate language. If we in the West are the most propagandized people in the world; Gazans are the least propagandized. Outwardly captives, Gazans are liberated from the illiberal political propaganda that grips the West WHAT has Israel been up to since March 18, 2025, which was when the “genocidal entity” formally broke the nominal […]
The history of the welfare state is the history of the state’s savage war of aggrandizement and seizure of authority against civil society. Whether in Germany, in the United Kingdom, in Australia, in Canada, in Scandinavia, or in the United States, the coercive state systematically destroyed the “voluntary sector” of civil society and those intermediary […]

What I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of […]
Should we be distracted, or merely appalled, by Trump’s abrupt proposal to clear the remaining 1.9 million Palestinians from Gaza, with a new demand that Arab neighbors absorb them? US intelligence, software, bombs, guns, tanks, aircraft, fuel and bulldozers all found a small resting point in the form of the Trump-demanded ceasefire in Gaza. Yes, US taxpayers […]
Our new president’s policies for the Middle East, are, I’m sorry to say, a disaster for those of us who support a non-interventionist foreign policy. A war between Israel and Hamas has been going on for over a year. A fragile truce is in place as I write, but who knows how long it will […]
With the global economy hanging on by one rusty and wobbling wheel to the triple loop roller-coaster rails we are on; paper money is no longer a wise investment. For those who see the writing on the wall and even the less pessimistic, holding precious metals in the form of Gold and Silver are a […]
