Lab Rats
When I was growing up the Cold War against the Soviet Union was driven by conservatives, who were convinced that communism was an existential threat to capitalism and indeed the American way of life. These days the Cold War … Continue reading
The Power of Narrative
The reason that I always doubted Russia-gate is because I read. A lot. I started out with tons of fiction but then moved to non-fiction, with a heavy emphasis on the history of empires. Oswald Spengler’s, Decline of the … Continue reading
Quagmires
I still wonder if Trump would have carried out his promise of better relations with Russia and less interventionist foreign policies absent Russia-gate? I ask this question because a confluence of events in Syria is increasing the danger of war with … Continue reading

Game Changer
The corporate media barely covered it but Russian President Putin’s recent speech was a wakeup call to our neocon-foreign-policy elite. To understand the geo-political ramifications of this speech, I would recommend the excellent article entitled “The Implications of Russia’s New … Continue reading

A dirty game
The sociopathic elite that make up the deep state are playing a very dirty game. Russia-gate has gone from allegations that Donald Trump personally colluded with Vladimir Putin to deny Hillary Clinton the presidency to the latest indictment of … Continue reading

Yay Resistance!
Members of the Trump Resistance are turning handsprings over the guilty plea of President Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI about pre-inauguration conversations with the Russian ambassador.
