Neither New nor Liberal

Posted on September 11, 2020 by camelotkidd

Thomas Frank’s The People, No, is an amazing guide to our political milieu, tracing the history of populism from the 1890’s to the era of Trump. Frank examines not only the history of populism but that of anti-populism, especially as … Continue reading →

It Was Always Bullshit

Posted on September 4, 2020 by camelotkidd

The recent Democratic Convention was missing something. Oh, I know what it was–Russia-gate. The 4 year investigation of the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, which Democrats once thought could topple Trump for obstruction of justice, went unmentioned, even as it … Continue reading →

Opaque

Posted on July 16, 2020 by camelotkidd

I’m re-reading Matt Taibbi’s, Hate Inc., and enjoying it even more than the first time. Written as an update to the classic–Manufacturing Consent–it’s a great primer on media malfeasance and how we came to have a con-man as our president. … Continue reading →

Color Revolution

Posted on June 19, 2020 by camelotkidd

The recent Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests have got my spider sense tingling. After studying regime-change operations for decades I know one when I see one. Going further, this looks to be a continuation of the deep state coup that … Continue reading →

Corporate Control Area

Posted on June 5, 2020 by camelotkidd

Looting Opportunity

Posted on May 1, 2020 by camelotkidd

  We don’t do competent governance anymore. Everything is simply a looting opportunity. There are clusters of competence, of course, but they are overwhelmed by incompetence, corruption and callous disregard for anyone who isn’t wealthy or powerful. The elites have … Continue reading →

The Gray Lady

Posted on April 24, 2020 by camelotkidd

  Of all the topics I discuss probably the most confusing is propaganda. This week I’m going to focus on the New York Times, since it’s the premier-elite newspaper that all other media take their cues from. Going further, the … Continue reading →

The Right Stuff

Posted on April 17, 2020 by camelotkidd

  As we approach another election featuring two repulsive candidates it’s more important than ever to question what makes an acceptable leader? It’s become obvious that those who rise to the top are those who are the most talented examples … Continue reading →

Forest for the Trees

Posted on April 10, 2020 by camelotkidd
