5 feet high and rising

Posted on August 30, 2017 by camelotkidd

All the fake news that’s fit to print

Posted on July 3, 2017 by camelotkidd

The corporate-media is still freaking-out over fake news. Their concern would have a lot more credibility and sympathy if these so-called respectable news outlets hadn’t been responsible for so much propaganda. Does anyone remember mushroom clouds, aluminum tubes, and weapons … Continue reading →

Concentrated

Posted on June 26, 2017 by camelotkidd

We Live in a Political World

Posted on June 19, 2017 by camelotkidd

Why hasn’t a left-wing populist party arisen in the US in the wake of the Wall Street crash and bail-out by the government? Why have labor unions, environmentalists, racial and ethnic minorities not created an alternative to the fully … Continue reading →

The Orb

Posted on May 29, 2017 by camelotkidd

We live in a post-satire world. There is no more glaring example of this than the opening of the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology, in Riyadh, where US president Donald Trump visited to participate in this Orwellian photo-op. Seriously, … Continue reading →
