Like Ike

Posted on November 22, 2016 by camelotkidd

Don’t mourn, organize

Posted on November 15, 2016 by camelotkidd

Trump is going to end the world, as we know it. Or, something. Liberals are always more energized and pugilistic when a Republican president gains power. My biggest peeve with liberals, is that they were aghast at the behavior … Continue reading →

For the good of the country

Posted on November 11, 2016 by camelotkidd

How did a monster like Trump win? The short answer is that Hillary was a uniquely horrible candidate, as I detail here. She was also the establishment candidate in an anti-establishment election. The Democratic Party also bears a large … Continue reading →

Multipolar Future

Posted on October 31, 2016 by camelotkidd

The US has been the sole-superpower for the last 25 years. Those days are coming to an end with the US facing a multipolar future. The problem with this development is that the neocons in charge of US foreign … Continue reading →

Hypocrisy is thy name

Posted on October 23, 2016 by camelotkidd

Only our unique American exceptionalism could create hypocrisy so great that it threatens to blot out the sun. Historians have documented that empires fail when the discrepancy between what elites say and what they do grows too large. It’s … Continue reading →

Decorum

Posted on October 16, 2016 by camelotkidd

Let me get this straight. Pussy grabbing is bad, but assassinations, torture, and invading a largely defenseless country are cool? Watching the 2016 Presidential election has been illuminating. In my opinion, what bothers our elite, who are united in revulsion … Continue reading →

The Flying Lemon

Posted on October 4, 2016 by camelotkidd

Reading the Project of Government Oversight report on the F-35, it’s apparent that the fighter/bomber is a flying lemon, and we the taxpayers are the unwitting buyers. The report claims that the F-35, built by Lockheed Martin, is weighed down … Continue reading →

The Deep State Goes Rogue

Posted on September 21, 2016 by camelotkidd

It appears that the military/intelligence arm of the deep state has gone rogue, bombing Syrian Army positions, and potentially jeopardizing the truce agreement with Russia that Secretary of State, John Kerry negotiated, and President Obama signed off on. Here’s … Continue reading →

Corporate Patriotism

Posted on September 19, 2016 by camelotkidd

There’s a serious effort underway to get President Obama to pardon whistleblower, Edward Snowden, before he leaves office. There’s also a new movie about Snowden, by Oliver Stone, that has got me thinking about what it means to be … Continue reading →

The Russians are coming

Posted on September 9, 2016 by camelotkidd

How did the new Cold War get started? Maybe we need an enemy to keep us distracted as much of the country spirals into 3rd world status? Maybe we need an enemy to keep the Military/Intelligence/Industrial/ Complex profitable? For example, … Continue reading →
