‘UMERKA’

Back in the olden days, when the Soviet Union was still around, the US government used to at least throw a few crumbs to working Americans to remind people of how ‘great’ capitalism is. But not anymore. That went out the window with disintegration of the USSR and the ‘Peace divided.’ The warmongers and their […]

Petro-America

For the past 60-plus years, the USA has attached its currency to petroleum, and more recently, natural gas. Ever since President Nixon took America off the Gold Standard in 1972, the USA has been on the Oil Standard [“Petro dollars”]. The key to the dollar being the reserve currency of the world is OIL, plain […]

DEAD AND BURIED

It’s time we come to terms with the fact that ‘America’ as we know it is dead and buried, and it has been for decades. We live in UMERKA now. The country has reverted to what it has always been throughout its history: a white supremacist, oligarchic, theocratic, authoritarian imperial power. Trump and his ilk […]

ALLEN DULLES vs. JFK

The Devil’s Chessboard by David Talbot connects a few more dots in the JFK assassination story. It’s ostensibly a biography of Allen Dulles, former head of the CIA under Eisenhower and Kennedy, but Talbot’s book examines how Dulles’ criminal acts helped to create the Orwellian national security state we currently inhabit. “Mind control experimentation, torture, […]

Entartete Kunst

Entartete Kunst was a term adopted by the Nazi Party to describe modern art. ‘Degenerate Art’ was systematically removed from state-owned museums and banned in Nazi Germany on the grounds that it was an “insult to German feeling.” Created by Joseph Goebbels’ Ministry of Propaganda, more than 16,000 works of art were deemed ‘degenerate.’ The […]

America Über alles

We’re creating enemies faster than we can kill them. It’s good for business. America currently garrisons the planet with more than 850 military bases around the world in more than 40 countries and U.S. territories. We deploy more than 200,000 troops across the globe. In Japan alone, we still have around 100,000 people connected to […]

THE COUP OF 1963

“Conspiracy theory” has always been used as a pejorative one-stop label as a means to dismiss any alternative explanation of an event which doesn’t conform to the ‘official’ explanation. The term ‘conspiracy theory’ was concocted by the CIA to discredit anyone daring to point out the many glaring discrepancies, oversights, and outright lies in the […]

“PATRIOTISM”

I would love to have a reason to be proud of this country. But there is so much about it that is so profoundly wrong I can only feel shame for calling myself an American. I have some ideas about how to improve everyday life for ALL Americans: Let’s get rid of the oligarchy, the […]

BILDERBERG

They call themselves the Bilderberg Group. This exclusive, highly secretive economic forum takes place each year at a different five-star hotel, alternating between locations in North America, Europe and Turkey. Regular Bilderberg attendees include such figures as Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, King Juan Carlos of Spain and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands — along with […]

SECRECY KILLS DEMOCRACY

The United States government’s obsession with secrecy is undermining the democratic principles it is supposed to protect. Excessive secrecy and over-classification has restricted our ability to understand the world around us, and our lack of knowledge is destroying our ability to make responsible decisions based on real facts. Unwarranted secrecy is without question highly detrimental […]
