Not Natural

Posted on December 28, 2019 by camelotkidd

It would be nice if our sociopathic elite would dial down the war rhetoric for the holidays, but I’m not holding my breath. While Americans have been led to believe that our president is a secret Putin-controlled double agent, … Continue reading →

A crisis of ideologies

Posted on January 10, 2019 by camelotkidd

I find it darkly amusing that neoliberalism and neoconservatism are losing legitimacy by the day, while political leaders and the corporate media warn of the disintegration of the “western-liberal-order.” That these two ruling ideologies are imploding says a lot … Continue reading →

Told You So

Posted on November 1, 2018 by camelotkidd

As Russia-gate staggers to the finish it’s becoming increasingly clear that what I warned about two years ago has come to pass. The narrative that our president is controlled by Putin has brought about a new and more dangerous … Continue reading →

Give peace a chance

Posted on July 19, 2018 by camelotkidd

Who knew that peace was so threatening? This headline from the British tabloid–The Times–perfectly encapsulates the frightening sentiment: “Fears grow over prospect of Trump ‘peace deal’ with Putin”. Other headlines include– “Trump hopes he and Putin will get along. Russia … Continue reading →

Deeper Malady

Posted on April 5, 2018 by camelotkidd

Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated 50 years ago. We would do well to reflect on a speech he gave exactly a year before his death. At the Riverside Church, Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence, King portrayed the war … Continue reading →

An adversarial way

Posted on February 2, 2018 by camelotkidd

Legendary investigative journalist Robert Parry has died. Anyone who’s read this blog knows how much I valued Robert and his investigative website–Consortiumnews.com. His death is a profound tragedy, and I’ve spent the week in a state of persistent melancholy. Life … Continue reading →
