Vassals
It’s amusing watching the vassals adjust to the new imperial reality under king Trump. Mark Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum was a masterclass in “limited hangout”, where he acknowledged that the “rules based international order” was always conditional … Continue reading
Useful Idiots
Liberals and so-called “leftists” denouncing Iran are useful idiots for the US empire. Liberals tut-tut the mullah’s for their intolerance and accuse Iran of being a “theocratic fascist regime” while the US surrounds Iran with bases, and funds, arms and … Continue reading
Kill the Internet
