Pro Liberate – by William Norman Grigg

For reasons beyond his control, it had taken Donny* three attempts to complete his senior year in high school. On his twentieth birthday, Donny was three days from finishing the classwork necessary to graduate from the Rebound School of Opportunity in Meridian, Idaho. All he had left was to make an oral presentation of his senior report. He had already been offered a post-graduation job at Valley Truss, a local construction service and supply store.   Continue reading “Child-Stealers and Prison Profiteers: A Case Study”

Freeman’s Perspective – by Paul Rosenberg

People remember Thomas Jefferson for the Declaration of Independence, which he wrote in 1776. A few will remember that he served as president from 1801 to 1809, but aside from that, they know almost nothing of his life and work. In actual fact, he lived till 1826, when he died on July 4, fifty years to the day after the ratification of his Declaration.

During those fifty years, Jefferson’s intellectual life bloomed. He was an inventor, a horticulturalist, and especially a philosopher. In fact, he was a brave and excellent philosopher.   Continue reading “Jefferson’s Final Warnings”

Daily Slave – by Lee Rogers

There are a number of questions surrounding the high profile arrest of the Mexican drug lord known as El Chapo Guzman.  Not surprisingly, none of these questions are being asked by anybody in the corporate controlled media.  Instead, they are acting like this was just a straight forward arrest which is curious considering Guzman’s history.  Guzman was said to be the man in charge of the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel which has been called one of the most powerful drug cartels not just in Mexico but the entire world.   The cartel has historically maintained close ties to the United States government which is one of the primary reasons why it has grown into such a successful business enterprise.  None of this history is being discussed giving people a completely false notion of what’s really going on.   Continue reading “Arrest of Obama’s Business Partner Sinaloa Drug Cartel Head El Chapo Guzman Was Likely Faked”

Today, Michigan Rep. John Dingell announced that he was retiring from Congress after serving 29 terms and nearly 60 years. That’s a long time. Let’s look at how much things have changed since 1955, when 29-year-old Dingell won a special election to replace his father, who had died in September 1955.   Continue reading “What’s changed in Washington since John Dingell got elected in 1955? A lot.”

The Fed Is Very Political … And Serves the Big Banks and the Powers-That-Be

The Federal Reserve likes to pretend that it is “independent” and “apolitical”.

The forced Parliamentary impeachment of Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych just cancelled out President Barack Obama’s puny pen and telephone.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was Yankovych’s pen and telephone, but with the entire world watching, the prime minister, who only three months ago made a deal in favor of the Russians over the European Union,  has hightailed it for safer ground by abandoning the battle field.   Continue reading “Footsteps of Ukrainian impeachment echo all the way back to America”

Americans are witnessing the harmful effects of years of unchecked immigration and coerced racial preferences. But these dire consequences were rarely predicted fifty years ago. At that time, such policies were the cause du jour of many 1960s politicians.

The late senator Ted Kennedy vigorously asserted that such policies would greatly benefit society and assured us that they would cause no harm. The mainstream media solidly supported Kennedy’s starry-eyed predictions. Admittedly, there were dissenting voices, but none so vocal and contentious as one voice in England. I am referring to the late English parliamentarian, Enoch Powell. In his famous 1968 “Rivers of Blood” speech he correctly predicted dreadful consequences to society as a result of Britain’s loosened immigration policies and proposed expansions to race relations legislation.   Continue reading “What we didn’t hear in the 1960s”

The knock out game has come to New Orleans with a vengeance in recent weeks. Despite police denials, there have been several recent attacks that have all of the hallmarks of the vicious knock out game. In the past several weeks, in the tourist hotspot of the French Quarter, innocent individuals were targeted by black youngsters. These victims were not robbed, but were severely beaten and sent to the hospital in a coma.   Continue reading “Knock Out Criminals Hit a Home Run in New Orleans”

In John Huston’s classic 1943 documentary, The Battle of San Pietro, American soldiers run into battle, gunfire all around. They fall backwards into trenches, the camera jolting with the concussive force of the explosions. Eventually we see corpses placed into body bags. That harrowing immediacy is one reason James Agee called it “as good a war film as any that has been made,”—but it was entirely fake, staged with the help of the U.S. military to create better propaganda. Along with other staged documentaries, it was presented to the public and swallowed as an authentic work of non-fiction.   Continue reading “Lies the Greatest Generation Told Us”
