Deep State–Über Alles

Posted on February 21, 2018 by camelotkidd

In light of the non-stop yammering about Russian meddling in our precious democracy, it’s time to revisit the concept of an American deep state. Liberal commentators have heaped derision on the term–deep state, depicting it as Trump supporters protecting … Continue reading →

Won’t end well

Posted on February 16, 2018 by camelotkidd

Lately, I’ve detected a certain sense of malaise among my fellow citizens. In my opinion, it’s long been apparent that this won’t end well. Take the stock market, the indicator that our elite reliably depict as proof of the … Continue reading →

An adversarial way

Predatory Society

Posted on January 31, 2018 by camelotkidd

I’ve been writing recently about US foreign policy and the lack of interest among Americans with the horrific results of these policies. If we’re honest, (and I sincerely believe that this is why the disinterest), US foreign policy is largely … Continue reading →

Posted on January 17, 2018 by camelotkidd
