TRAVELING THE WORLD, WRITING WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.
Two weeks ago I discussed the baby steps that China and Russia are taking toward creating an alternative financial infrastructure to the SWIFT Network and the Washington Consensus (read: Wall Street Consensus). The steps may be small, but they’re all going in the same direction: away from a US/NATO-led world order and toward a world Read More…
We start a quiet Sunday with a big picture anecdote from Eric Peters’ latest weekend note explaining why what central banks are trying to do is impossible, why the trend of inflation over the past 70 years is “stunning and unprecedented” and why “volatility suppression” always eventually fails. “Anecdote”, by Eric Peters of One River Read More…
The Donald is bombing so many countries so often, he’s running of bombs. “Critical munitions shortfalls are my top war-fighting concern,” says US Pacific commander Admiral Harry Harris. “We must maintain our capability to operate in contested environments.” Priorities include long-range and stand-off strike weapons, anti-ship weapons, advanced air to air munitions, theatre ballistic/cruise missile Read More…
Buoyed by a total of 18 speculative verb forms – five “mays,” eight “woulds” and five “coulds” – New York Times reporters David E. Sanger and William J. Broad (4/24/17) painted a dire picture of a Trump administration forced to react to the growing and impending doom of North Korea nuclear weapons. “As North Korea Read More…

In blaming Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the April 4 chemical incident in Khan Sheikhoun, The New Read More…
PSYOP/MISOC targets foreign governments, groups, and individuals. The government program is similar to journalism, a mode of communication that spreads information, but often spins the narrative, according to Colonel Curtis D. Boyd, Chief of Staff of the JFK Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg, who gave a lecture on “The MISTRY* of PSYOP: Read More…

Having blasted the Trump administration for their hypocritical flip-flop from “loving WikiLeaks” to “arrest Assange,” Ron Paul made his feelings very clear on what this signals: “If we allow this president to declare war on those who tell the truth, we have only ourselves to blame.” Today he sits down with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for a Read More…
In April 7, 2017, much of the world watched in horror as the Trump administration rained missiles down on an airbase that belonged to the sovereign government of Syria.
