The Vlad and Donald show in Helsinki Monday was simply brilliant and breathtaking – we'd say even a beautiful thing to behold. Between them, they left CNN's nattering nabobs of neocon nonsense sounding like the shrieking monkeys they actually are. And that's to...
Time for a Mercy Killing at NATO
The Great Disrupter was in fine fettle Wednesday. First he scolded Germany for investing in a natural gas pipeline from Russia that makes all the sense in the world and then blasted it for not spending money on defense it doesn't need. Well, I have to say, I think...
America First, Helsinki and Trump’s Existential Threat to the Empire
The major – perhaps only – redeeming virtue of the Donald's ersatz campaign platform was his clear intent to seek a rapprochement with Russia, revamp America's commitments to NATO and other cold war relics and to discard "Regime Change" as the...
It Didn’t Take a Village of Deep Staters – Just The Donald
The village idiots of Imperial Washington are having conniption fits about the Singapore summit. That's because after 65 years of lobbing military threats and diplomatic poison pens at Pyongyang, the Donald showed the way to resolving the North Korean file in just six...
Why the Empire Never Sleeps: War Finance Made Easy, Part 3
Read Part 1 Read Part 2 Woodrow Wilson's Folly gave rise to more than the 1,000 year flood of Nazi and Soviet totalitarianism and their state orchestrated campaigns of mass murder. It also opened the door to massive, cheap war finance. And that baleful innovation has...
Why the Empire Never Sleeps: The Indispensable Nation Folly, Part 2
Read Part 1 The rise of the murderous Nazi and Stalinist totalitarian regimes during the 1930s and the resulting conflagration of World War II is held to be, correctly, the defining event of the 20th century. But that truism only begs the real question. To wit, were...
Why the Empire Never Sleeps: The Indispensable Nation Folly, Part 1
Like the case of Rome before it, the Empire is bankrupting America. The true fiscal cost is upwards of $1.0 trillion per year (counting $200 billion for veterans and debt service for wars), but there is no way to pay for it. That's because the 78-million strong Baby...
The Deep State First – Madness On Both Ends of the Acela Corridor
At his so-called Cabinet meeting this morning, the Donald basically threatened Iran with annihilation if it does what 15 other signatories to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) do every day: Namely, increase production of industrial grade nuclear fuel...
The Donald’s Done – The Deep State Wins Its War On America First
The Donald's action to ash-can the Iranian nuclear deal marks the War Party's complete and baleful triumph. There is now nothing much left of America First. Trump's reckless, unwarranted and utterly irrational action will pull Washington ever deeper into an incendiary...
The Deep State and the Big Lie – Douma Deposed
The contra-narrative about Assad's alleged gas attack is gaining traction as the evidence comes in. It increasingly seems probable that some folks suffocated or were overcome with smoke inhalation and hypoxia (oxygen deprivation) when buildings, tunnels and...
