All about the Benjamins

Posted on September 19, 2019 by camelotkidd

Unlikely Savior

Posted on June 20, 2019 by camelotkidd

Trump came into office critical of the bi-partisan foreign policy establishment while promising to end America’s endless wars. Since then he’s been under relentless pressure, like Obama before him, to follow the “Washington Playbook.” Whether, North Korea or Syria … Continue reading →

Do you realize what you’ve done?

Posted on July 26, 2018 by camelotkidd

This obsession with Russia-gate among our liberal elites is absolutely bizarre. I lived through the later part of the Cold War, when President Reagan labeled the Soviet Union the “evil empire,” and I don’t recall this level of anti-Russian … Continue reading →

Special kind of stupid

Posted on May 9, 2018 by camelotkidd

Our leaders seem to believe that the American people are a special kind of stupid. The latest propaganda campaign against Iran demonstrates that at this point they’re just going through the motions. As any half-wit could have foreseen, Trump … Continue reading →

War is a Product

Posted on March 20, 2018 by camelotkidd

Fifteen years ago our neocon-foreign-policy elite sold us a war based on fraudulent intelligence. They acquired much of this intelligence through torture. Saddam Hussein was accused of having weapons of mass destruction. He had none. Iraq was illegally attacked and … Continue reading →

It’s all about the Benjamin’s

Posted on January 4, 2018 by camelotkidd

Ever wonder why the US regime-changes this country but not that country? Wonder no more. It’s all about the Benjamin’s. The US maintains its hegemony thanks to the power of the US dollar—the worlds reserve currency–and the reality of … Continue reading →

Open for Business

Posted on October 24, 2017 by camelotkidd

We’ve Always Been at War With Eastasia

Posted on November 25, 2015 by camelotkidd
