Governments have lost control of the narrative that they are in control of events. Everyday I wake up to another instance of outrageous censorship from some 'social media' company blocking or banning someone for no apparent reason. The latest outrage is Twitter banning the account of Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange's mother, Christine. Australian and New … Continue reading Censorship Tightens As Governments Lose Control

The Ramp Up to War on Iran is Here
John Bolton never met a war he didn't like, except Vietnam. That would be the one he refused to fight in. Today he is calling up every marker he has to create the narrative for a legal justification for an attack on Iran that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spilled the beans on just before … Continue reading The Ramp Up to War on Iran is Here
Tucker Carlson and the Plight of the Yellow Vests
I have to hand out sincere kudos to Tucker Carlson. His opening salvo for 2019 was one for the ages. It was a broad-ranging, fifteen-minute rhetorical tour de force. Tying together Mitt Romney's vulture capitalism, unchecked immigration, political corruption and the destruction of the middle class family, Carlson laid out a story that if everyone … Continue reading Tucker Carlson and the Plight of the Yellow Vests

Interview – Fault Lines on the Limits of Facebook’s Reach
It's a quick 20 minutes going over the ways in which social media companies, in particular, Facebook use their immense market power to first bring everyone onto the network and then stifle debate and create a non-neutral environment where moral preening and virtue-signaling poisons the most important relationships you had previously to joining the network … Continue reading Interview – Fault Lines on the Limits of Facebook’s Reach
Gold Goats ‘n Guns Live – Strzok, Rosenstein and the Rise of Anarcho-Tyranny
Sam Francis coined the term "Anarcho-tyranny" to describe the state the U.S. and Europe have descended into. In short, it is where the state works to protect its own and those that control it while bringing the full weight of it down on those that are supposed to be served by it. Anarchy for those … Continue reading Gold Goats ‘n Guns Live – Strzok, Rosenstein and the Rise of Anarcho-Tyranny
