The following excellent article, written by my friend, Gary Barnett, first appeared at  LewRockwell.com BW This once great country of America has gone through many changes, and these changes, while implemented by the design of its true rulers, are not understood by the huddled masses that have been taught to accept mediocrity as desired normalcy. The ruling class fully understands that the only way to control people, and to finally control the world, is to stifle individual excellence by creating a society that refuses to think. This has been accomplished through planned conflict, the instilling of fear, the total control of education by the puppet state, by building dependence through public welfare, and by dominating most all positions of power in a myriad of state, corporate, and important intellectual appointments. “At its root, the logic is that of the Grand Inquisitor, who bitterly assailed Christ for offering people freedom and thus condemning them to misery. The Ch...

There is a profound difference between natural Stupidity and aggressive Ignorance. One can't be helped or blamed on the victim; the other, a willful, spiteful, self-destructive choice freely made. With that distinction in mind, consider: Sunday, on FOX's Journal Editorial Report, host Paul Gigot, and 3 other like-minded comrades blustered, bloviated and pontificated about President Trump's now nearly-famous Tweet concerning ex-ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, tweeted while she was "testifying" before the so-called 'Impeachment Hearing' at the time. The four Brainiacs couldn't argue with the accurate content of the Tweet, but still found a way to pan it bigly, blathering on about how rude, bad, destructive, unnecessary it was. They ended the segment wondering aloud "Why does he continue to do it?" hinting it must be some serious congenital problem. Here's the Simple Question part: How can the root cause for the daily serving of...

How many times, how many headlines, how many articles have been written – maybe even read - about the monstrous disaster waiting to befall Americans when the Mother of All (Financial) Bubbles bursts? To say such pieces speak as "warnings" is the Mommy of all Understatements. True as they are, these facts are barely reported is just as true, likely because the Average Reader is near totally ignorant, dis-interested and bored by anything that smacks of serious economic analysis of the Federal Reserve, Quantitative Easing, GDP, Negative Interest Rates, Unfunded Entitlements and other terms common to Money Talk. Readership and ratings are too important risk. The time and effort it would take readers to scale the Learning Curve of Economics is too steep. This is football season! There is holiday shopping! Here's a good example of the serious issue of our current economic status and instability which isn't taken too seriously by serious Americans unknowingly facing the co...

Shining a Light on the Sociopaths in Politics   There are at least seven characteristics that define a sociopath, although I’m sure the list could be extended: Sociopaths completely lack a conscience or any capacity for real regret about hurting people. Although they pretend the opposite. Sociopaths put their own desires and wants on a totally different level from those of other people. Their wants are incommensurate. They truly believe their ends justify their means. Although they pretend the opposite.     Sociopaths consider themselves superior to everyone else, because they aren’t burdened by the emotions and ethics others have – they’re above all that. They’re arrogant. Although they pretend the opposite. Sociopaths never accept the slightest responsibility for anything that goes wrong, even though they’re responsible for almost everything that goes wrong. You’ll never hear a sincere apology from them. Sociopaths have a lopsided notion of property righ...
