Voting Is for Dummies!, by Hans Vogel

9 September 2026 at 05:00
Quite a few years ago, my grandfather confided to me he never voted. Instead, he would give my grandmother a written mandate, allowing her to go vote in his place. My grandfather said voting was a waste of time and made no sense, because one’s vote counted for nothing. It shocked me to hear this...

Amnesty International blames the victim in a time of genocide The late Dr. Israel Shahak once related that during WWII when a collaborator at the Warsaw ghetto was eliminated, the jubilant inmates (himself included) danced with joy.[0] Maybe the extreme situation didn’t permit the semblance of a legal process, but natural law ran its course....

Oh My God Shut the Fuck Up About "Antisemitism", by Caitlin Johnstone

8 September 2026 at 05:00
“Antisemitism” watchdog groups are flipping the fuck out about hip hop artist Macklemore saying “Free Palestine” while opening for Ed Sheeran, and the western press are of course helping to spin this ridiculous nonsense as a massive scandal. During a New Jersey concert over the weekend, Macklemore said the following: “One of the reasons why...

Is It True That “the Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword”?, by Paul Craig Roberts

8 September 2026 at 05:00
Dear Readers, September is upon us, and it is time for my quarterly request for readers’ support. September is the weakest quarter. I understand that. Summer vacations and September’s opening with Labor Day’s 3-day week-end leaves readers with scant cash and substantial credit card bills. I will give you some information about the website to...

The Epstein Files, 9/11, and Other Important Matters Obscured by the Iran War, by Ron Unz

7 September 2026 at 05:10
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks will arrive this Friday but I'm not sure how much attention that date will receive. Those landmark events of a quarter-century ago were certainly among the most important in modern times, constituting the largest and most dramatic terrorist attacks in the history of the world. Indeed, they were...

From Bishkek to New Delhi: Building a New Eurasia, by Pepe Escobar

7 September 2026 at 05:10
Asia is all about face-to-face meetings or “people-to-people exchanges,” as Chinese President Xi Jinping puts it. Politico-economic summits are treated as much for their value in channeling common policies as venues allowing no one to lose face. Consensus – and mutual respect – is essential. Which means, unlike in the collective west, real diplomacy is...

7 September 2026 at 05:00
I spent the past weekend as a participant in the annual Ron Paul Institute conference that takes place in the Washington area, in northern Virginia.

German Sponsorship of Zionist Settlements Exposed, by Kit Klarenberg

7 September 2026 at 05:00
Exploiting academic institutions as a cover, between 2017 – 2021 the German government surreptitiously funnelled millions into a highly discriminatory project facilitating expansion of Zionist settlements in the occupied West Bank. Under its auspices, public money and knowledge production were committed to an inherently unlawful, immoral enterprise in flagrant breach of Berlin’s international legal obligations,...

The New Red Scare Is A Dangerous Distraction from the GOP’s Failures, by A.J. Schumann

7 September 2026 at 05:00
The attempt to revive the McCarthyist witch hunts of yesteryear is, at its core, a reaction to the working-class rightfully demanding its fair share of the economic pie. A familiar spectre is haunting the nation — that of communism. Or so one might conclude from the Republican Party’s increasingly frantic rhetoric. Following a string of...

Our Kakistocracy, by David Skrbina

A few days ago, at a press event in Venice, Italy on September 2, actor and activist George Clooney offered some biting remarks on the present US government. Unfortunately, they weren’t biting enough. Amidst some talk about climate change and the lack of American governmental action (Venice is particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels), Clooney...

It has not been much of a secret, but I am back in Russia with Judge Napolitano and a couple of other podcast luminaries, to participate in a series of academic seminars dedicated to finding a way for Russia and the US to build a collaborative partnership rather than risk World War III. Life on...
