One of the milestones in cinematic history was the first narrative film, The Great Train Robbery (1903). It was directed and shot by Edwin S. Porter, a former associate of Thomas Edison. The movie is only about 10 minutes long, with 14 scenes. It was the most popular and commercially successful film of the pre-nickelodeon […]
The USA was one of the world’s greatest mass social experiments; the only country to come into existence as a fully-fledged democracy, “By the People, for the People.” America was the land of the free, home of the brave; a beacon of hope for the rest of the world, blah, blah, blah… Sadly, America isn’t […]
The US century of American economic and political hegemony is collapsing right before our very eyes. Like so many of history’s past empires, petty idiocies and hubris appear to be accelerating this inevitable decline. The real winner in all this chaos is China. Xi Jinping only has to follow Napoleon’s famous advice: “Never interfere with […]
It’s a pattern historians have seen many times before: It starts with the quiet dismantling of oversight and the abolition of regulations, and it ends with institutions that serve only those in power. The US used to have strong institutions and a vigorous vocal opposition; but seeing these government watchdogs being laid off and summarily […]
No doubt 2025 will be another banner year of record profits for the US arms dealers and multinational oil companies. Even though US troops aren’t currently engaged [officially] anywhere, the war machine still raked in trillions of dollars in profits supplying military operations in Israel and Ukraine.

Carter was only denied a second term due to the treasonous intrigues and machinations of a virtual parallel government run […]
The USA was birthed as a genocidal White male Christian society. It remains so today. That is the DNA of this nation. It was never a true democracy, and the USA has struggled to embrace women’s equality or civil rights. That’s the root of what MAGA is all about: a desire to return to the […]
People need to understand the true reality of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s legacy. The mainstream media [MSM] has co-opted and twisted his message since he was assassinated in 1968. MLK was considered an enemy of the state for his political activities related to the Civil Rights movement. He became a marked man once he […]
60 years ago today, the greatest coup in the history of mankind was carried out against the American people. And by ‘greatest’ I mean greatest only in the sense that it has endured for so long. It’s astonishing to see how effective the ongoing cover story has been, which is still being pushed by the […]
The Declaration of Independence, created by Thomas Jefferson, is a classic argumentative work. Jefferson makes his point clearly and convincingly, but his argument is more tightly structured and does not utilize the variety of different rhetorical approaches that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr uses in ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail’. In that classic work, Dr. King […]
