American Nihilism

Posted on October 4, 2018 by camelotkidd

9/11

Posted on September 11, 2018 by camelotkidd

  It’s more than ironic that 17 years after Al Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center, President Trump is coming to the rescue of Al Qaeda terrorists in Idlib Province Syria. Maybe, like Obama, Trump’s playing 3 dimensional chess?

Manufacturing Dissent

Posted on August 16, 2018 by camelotkidd

  The US has an oligarchic system of government in the wake of the Citizens/United Supreme Court ruling that legalized political bribery. It turns out that all that stuff we learned in school about representative democracy was a pleasant fairy tale for children. The … Continue reading →
