The short-lived experiment that is/was the CHAZ in Seattle is just one of three avenues of attack against the Trump administration being pursued in the first Real U.S. Civil War. This is the Black Revolution, cut from the same mold as previous Orange, Violet, Green and Brown revolutions in Eurasia and North Africa. So while the CHAZ will end with a whimper it will also fail falling forward as newly-minted Antifa radicals will be created when the police roll in. We're staring at future powder keg...

The Civil War in the U.S. continues to heat up and events over the past week reinforce this idea to me. This week I cover both the formation and reinvention of the CHAZ -- Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone -- in Seattle as well as my own experiences with the Trump Flotilla here in Florida. There are two completely separate cultures who will continue to clash politically and socially and they will not be reconciled by something as tawdry as an election. The U.S. is headed for that ugly future I've bee...

The fires may be out for now, but they have not been fully extinguished. The Culture War of the past ten years has quickly exploded into a Civil War. It doesn't matter that this explosion was amplified by agent provocateurs and cynical political operatives hoping to retain control over the power centers. This cultural inversion, in the words of Jonathan Pageau, that we have been going through these past four years in response to the election of Donald Trump is accelerating quickly and will reach...

With everything happening at a breakneck pace it seemed prudent to do another one this week and talk with radio personality and former police officer Garland Nixon about the state of things in the U.S. Garland and I discuss the underlying rage and discontent that has been brewing for months in the U.S. at the unfair and rotten system which has driven hundreds of thousands around the world into the streets to vent that rage. The problem is, of course, that this rage is being misdirected and used ...

Legendary trader and blogger Yra Harris drops by to discuss the changes coming to the European Union thanks to Angela Merkel's betrayal of the German people. Debt mutualization is on the table and the acquiescence of the German political class to the financial realities of Europe's mess will usher in, slowly and with a lot more pain for everyone, consolidation of power across Europe. Yra and I also discuss the situations brewing in Hong Kong as well as the U.S. and how the financial world is tee...

Brexit is back in the news as we approach the deadline for extending the Transition Period between the U.K. being under the auspice of EU law. There is still no appetite within the EU to allow the U.K. to leave on terms which satisfy the Brexit referendum of 2016. If the U.K. caves and files for an extension by the end of June then the Brexit saga will last another two years. EU Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier continues to ply a hard line which has, to this date, gotten him absolutely nothing fr...

This week I go off the beaten path a little bit to talk with the Project Lead for one of my favorite cryptocurrencies, Decred, Jake Yocom-Piatt. Jake is a very astute critic of not only the monetary system but the cryptocurrency development scene. Getting his insights into the future of bitcoin and cryptos in general as potential monies in a post-Central Bank dominated world I thought was necessary at this moment in time. With the latest halving of the Bitcoin reward pool occurring against an un...

President Trump tweeted out #ObamaGate recently after the transcripts of the Impeachment interviews conducted by Adam Schiff went public. These confirmed that there was a massive operation to spy on him, his campaign and that no one in the Obama Administration was willing to testify to his guilt under oath. RussiaGate wasn't just a hoax, it was an elaborate false narrative to overturn an election, cover for a guilty now-ex President who had routinely mobilized U.S. law enforcement and intelligen...

The lock downs are ending and the fear mongering is ramping up. The natives are getting restless and the powers that be are desperately trying to hold onto their useful idiots who think being afraid of a bad cold makes them the smartest people on the planet. This week we look at fear, the reasons for why they stoke it and why it's beyond time to be outraged about this and reject all forms of government control. The great Scott Adams has reached the state of exasperation and it's a beautiful thin...

This week I sit down with journalist and radio host Patrick Heningsen of 21st Century Wire and the host of the weekly show Sunday Wire to discuss the civilizational effects of the COVID-19 lock down and why it has gone on far too long. Patrick brings a breath of needed fresh air into the debate of the efficacy of locking people in their homes while I try to bridge the gap to the economic and psychological devastation the policy has engendered. Sit back relax and know that this is a long one, but...

This week I sit down with David Stockman, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget under Ronald Reagan and the Publisher of Contra Corner to discuss the pure insanity of the lock down associated with COVID-19, which has now created the Coronapocalypse for our economy and that of nations around the world. David and I take a hard, practical look at the real numbers, inflated though they may be, and how damming they are of the policy of shuttering the U.S. economy while it's clear now...

This week I sit down with an intrepid young man, Gabriel Scheare, who's working very hard on a project down in Chile called Fort Galt. It's like talking to an even-more committed younger version of myself, going off into the wilds of southern Chile to build a life as free from external interference as possible. If there is something that binds us all together it is the need for community and family. And the drive to achieve that on our own terms is all even the most radical flower-throwing liber...

This week I sit down for another chat with one of my favorite analysts on all things geopolitical, Alexander Mercouris, editor-in-chief of The Duran. Alex and I explore his thesis of a new Cold War emerging between the U.S. and China, which now replaces that of the one between the U.S. and Russia. It's a dynamic situation that is accelerating quickly thanks to the disastrous effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the insane power grab globally being orchestrated by the neoliberal oligarchy I like ...

The longer this shut down of the world economy goes on the more the generational divide will manifest itself between the declining, didactic and condescending Baby Boomers and their hard-bitten kids from Gen X. The power grabs, the money printing, the push for global government is all part of the desperation of a failing Utopian fantasy which the Boomers cling to like moss to a cliff while society itself hangs in the balance. This week I discuss why this is and where we're headed and what we can...

As the world goes into lock down over the threat of COVID-19 coronavirus I take a few minutes to remind everyone that it is the government response to this destruction of the private sector economy is the real threat to not only our liberty but our health as a people, a society and a culture. The latest siren's call will be for MMT or Modern Monetary Theory which is just Greenbacks Revisited and was the precursor to what is failing now before our eyes, the General Theory of John Manyard Keynes. ...

The Fed and the ECB fired their trillion dollar bazookas only to see them fizzle. It'll take a lot more than that to restore confidence in their ability to contain the contagion. And I don't think they can do it. Join me for an epic rant about the failure of bank socialism, why the EU cannot compete with the U.S. politically and how the tragedy in Italy will hasten their exit from the European Union. And as we contemplate those things Amazon comes out leading the way to prioritize alleviating su...

This week I sit down for a chat with investigative journalist Whitney Webb to discuss here latest work uncovering the history of the recently announced U.S./Taliban Afghanistan peace deal. Whitney does a fantastic job of breaking down the major players, the likelihood of success and what the real motivations for the U.S. in signing this deal are. From there we take the discussion global to cover the political and economic consequences to the coronavirus outbreak and to what extent governments ar...

The Democrats go to the polls ready to cast their votes for a far smaller field than we were expecting with the surprise suspension of the campaigns of both Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar. This calculated move was done to help shore up support for Joe Biden and possibly Mike Bloomberg with the hope of creating a brokered convention so that Hillary Clinton can ride in on her broom and save the DNC from the filthy progressive insurgents. This is a reflection of the abject fear the Baby Boomers i...

Coronavirus is the watchword of the day but the implications of its outbreak are far beyond the human cost, which is horrific. There is a political and economic fallout element to this that reaches deep into the fears of governments intent on maintaining some semblance of control. It will become a metaphor for the failure of globalism and central planning in general as humanity comes face to face with the true costs of lying to itself about what growth truly costs and who should benefit from it....

The political and financial complications from Thuringia continue to multiply for German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She is trapped between her need to keep the Greens placated while shoring up the power base of her party, the Christian Democratic Union, which is beholden to the powerful German Industrialist class. Into this volatile mix comes the nationalist/populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) who are proving stronger opposition than Merkel has dealt with previously. The more she tries to hold...

Iran's move to pull out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty looks like an invitation to the U.S. to bomb them back to the stone age. But is it? Russian military strategy is predicated on creating cauldrons, encircling an over-confident enemy and cutting off their means of retreat. Is this move by Iran part of their larger gambit to get what it wants in the Middle East? Are the Neocons about to fall into the biggest geopolitical quagmire of all time? This week we explore all of these issues a...

The lead up to Trump's murder of General Qassem Soleimani is important to understanding the context of why it happened. The key figure is Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi and his relationship with the U.S. as it tried to dissuade him from charting a path for Iraq's independence.
