A spokesman for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara is unlikely to approve Sweden and Finland joining NATO before June. Spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said Sweden needs time before it can codify new counterterrorism measures into law, changes Ankara wants to be made before signing off on Stockholm’s NATO membership.

Globalization is here to stay, according to historian Niall Ferguson, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week. Calling the notion of de-globalization a “mirage,” Ferguson assured his globalist audience that all the seemingly disruptive crises of the past few years are “just history happening,” not nails in the coffin of globalization. “This is how history works,” Ferguson said. “You get stuff that is not so perceptible, the economic convergence, the technological change, which were obviously going to alter the way the global economy worked.” Under such turmoil, it would be surprising if there were not changes to the global economic ...

Pentagon drops Covid-19 vaccine mandate for troops

The Pentagon formally dropped its Covid-19 vaccination mandate Tuesday, but a new memo signed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin also gives commanders some discretion in how or whether to deploy troops who are not vaccinated. Austin’s memo has been widely anticipated ever since legislation signed into law on Dec. 23 gave him 30 days to rescind the mandate. The Defense Department had already stopped all related personnel actions, such as discharging troops who refused the shot. Click for Full Text!

On Forgiveness and “Amnesty"

A few months back, I posted a meme on social media expressing the desire to welcome in, and treat with compassion, those who had been misled, bullied, and coerced into taking the experimental genetic Thing, and were now suffering the consequences. I was astonished by the degree of vitriol in the responses my post received. In my mind, there has always been a pretty clear line between those who actively promoted vaccine mandates and discrimination against the unvaccinated, and those who were simply fooled into taking the vaccine. But for a great many people, it seems that that line is blurred – and based on the comments my post received, it is blurred for the simple reason that so many ...
De-Dollarization Accelerates: The Beginning of the End for US Dollar Hegemony in Southeast Asia?

The US is facing major moves by the global community to de-dollarize their economies. The reserve status of the US dollar will eventually come to an end, maybe not anytime soon, but sometime in the future as it is facing numerous challenges not only from major powers such as Russia and China who are actively trying to rid themselves of the toxic currency, but also countries with smaller economies who are based in the Southeast Asian region which includes Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos.

Ukraine and Israel

I’ve been reading Raymond Chandler’s The High Window for the second time. The plot is convoluted. Somehow it got me thinking about Ukraine and Israel. Both countries are complicated crime scenes of U.S. foreign policy. They will never be objectively investigated and exposed. Like The High Window, plots and subplots embedded with events in Ukraine and Israel are confusing and loaded with smoke screens. It is difficult to navigate. Unlike The High Window, this is not fiction. Click for Full Text!

Jackson Lee Attacks First Amendment With “White Supremacy Act

The First Amendment will be tested with newly introduced legislation that criminalizes “conspiracy to commit white supremacy,” including criticism of non-white people that influences an individual to commit a hate crime. H.R.61, the “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023,” was introduced last week by Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and now sits with the Committee on the Judiciary. The bill’s text states that someone engages in a white supremacy inspired hate crime “when white supremacy ideology has motivated the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of actions that constituted a crime or were undertaken in furtherance of ...
Dr. Andrew Huff: Covid Virus, mRNA Shots Were Co-Developed

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19 disease, could not possibly come from nature, but was the result of collaboration between the United States government, the University of North Carolina, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Moreover, the creation of the virus was linked to the development of mRNA Covid shots, which was a "joint operation between the Department of Defense and the intelligence community," according to EcoHealth Alliance's whistleblower Dr. Andrew Huff. In this interview with The New American, Dr. Huff, a former top executive at EcoHealth, sheds light on the company’s shady connections with intelligence agencies and private companies tied to the ...
They Fell Behind on Their Property Taxes. So the Government Sold Their Homes—and Kept the Profits.

Geraldine Tyler is a 94-year-old woman spending the twilight of her life in retirement, as 94-year-olds typically do. But there isn't much that's typical about it. Tyler has spent the last several years fighting the government from an assisted living facility after falling $2,300 behind on her property taxes. No one disputes that she owed a debt. What is in dispute is if the government acted constitutionally when, to collect that debt, it seized her home, sold it, and kept the profit. Click for Full Text!

The drug culture that exists behind the scenes at America’s military bases came under the spotlight again this week after a massive raid at Fort Bragg led to the questioning of more than a dozen service members and requests for legal counsel. An army spokesman confirmed that 15 people have been questioned in a sting operation launched by the army’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID). Two were “immediately” acquitted, while the remaining 13 requested legal representation. Click for Full Text!

Decline of Empire: Parallels Between the U.S. and Rome, Part II
Post Date: 2023-01-17 22:27:22 by Charles_Byrd

Like the Romans, we’re supposedly ruled by laws, not by men. In Rome, the law started with the 12 Tablets in 451 BCE, with few dictates and simple enough to be inscribed on bronze for all to see. A separate body of common law developed from trials, held sometimes in the Forum, sometimes in the Senate. When the law was short and simple, the saying “Ignorantia juris non excusat” (ignorance of the law is no excuse) made sense. But as the government and its legislation became more ponderous, the saying became increasingly ridiculous. Eventually, under Diocletian, law became completely arbitrary, with everything done by the emperor’s decrees—we call them Executive ...

NY Gov Hochul to Raise Cigarette Taxes

I think this is going to do more harm than good. NY’s cigarette taxes are already the highest in the nation by a wide margin. It’s just a way for them to say that cigarettes are bad for you – unless you pay the government to be able to do it, then it’s safe. Click for Full Text!
How Individuals Enable Tyranny

It is easy to think the roots of tyranny lie outside of ourselves, but perhaps we are looking too far away. In Milan Kundera’s novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being, a Czech refugee living in Paris joins a protest march against the 1968 Soviet invasion of her homeland. To her surprise, the refugee could not bring herself to shout with the other protesters and soon left the rally. Her French friends didn’t understand her reluctance. The refugee silently mused that her friends could never understand that “behind Communism, Fascism, behind all occupations and invasions lurks a more basic, pervasive evil and that the image of that evil was a parade of people marching by with ...
Israelis are not demonstrating for democracy

Over the weekend, tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets of Tel Aviv and other cities to protest what they see as an erosion of their country’s democracy. The demonstrations were sparked by legislation announced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government that – if passed by the Knesset – would overhaul the Israeli judicial system. The move is seen by many as an attempt by the prime minister, who is being prosecuted on corruption charges, to rein in the judiciary and dodge prison time. Some of the slogans on display at the protests proclaimed “the end of democracy” under a “criminal government”. For sure, Netanyahu’s coalition ...
Bjorn Handeen on Using Local Politics to End the Wars

Scott talks with Bjorn Handeen, a long-time listener who is now the Idaho Republican Party Region 1 Chairman. The two talk about Handeen’s efforts to translate his knowledge of American foreign policy into results by focusing on local politicians. Unlike some of the big names in today’s Congress, politicians on the county and state levels are often totally uninformed about international issues, which can make them relatively open-minded if only you’re able to get in their ear. Handeen says you’ll be surprised how much access you’ll get to local legislators if you just start showing up. They talk about when democratic institutions can be an effective tool in the ...
