What Some Call “Anti-Science” Is Just Anti-authoritarianism

Capital, Postmodernism, and Left Authoritarianism: The Unholy Alliance

I. Introduction  I’m completely fascinated by the unholy alliance between capital, postmodernism, and left authoritarianism.

That’s what it […]

The culture shifted, and now the left embraces war, censorship, big pharma, and authoritarianism

Omnibus shows Congress’s Priorities: Authoritarianism and War

Those hoping for a Christmastime government shutdown were once again disappointed when Congress passed a 4,000-page, $1.7 trillion omnibus appropriations bill that few, if any, Representatives and Senators read before voting on.

Techno-Authoritarianism Is Here to Stay: China and the Deep State Have Joined Forces

No matter who runs for office, no matter who controls the White House, Senate or the House of Representatives now or in the future, “we the people” have already lost.

History is rife with examples of bizarre entities, like nonbank banks (I kid you not!), rent-a-banks (ditto!), and gold caches, designed to work around branching restrictions, usury laws (maximum interest rates), the criminalization of holding gold, and sundry other attempts to limit financial freedom. (See my Financial […]

VAXXED Cancelled by NYC Zionists Connected to Tribeca Triangle and 9/11

COMMENT:  “Tribeca” refers to a  neighborhood in Lower Manhattan.  Its name is a portmanteau from “Triangle Below Canal Street”.    The Film Festival was created after 9/11 as an attempt to revitalize South Manhattan.   We now see that controversial films exposing vaccines,  9/11 or Israeli crimes are perpetually taboo for screening – a likely censorship agenda of the “festival” at the […]
