Iranian Army in 2016. (Creative Commons/Wikimedia) National Security Advisor John Bolton’s announcement this week that the U.S. is deploying a carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region seemed perfectly framed to put America on a war footing with Iran. And it is. Claiming that the decision was made in response to “a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings,” Bolton declared that “the United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime.” But, he added, “we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces.” It took ...
George Carlin Was Monitored By The FBI – Because He Joked About The Government

By Mayukh Saha / Truth Theory George Carlin has been considered as one of many outspoken and controversial people in entertainment, that too, in the world of comedy. But while we may like him, he might have even been an extremist, at least, in the eyes of the Government. It is significant to note that he had shown no inclination towards violence or even criminal behavior in any manner. It is actually the parts of his comic routines in which he talked about the Government that made him the subject of hard scrutiny. He delved deep into the details of corruption that plagued businesses and Government bodies. His reputation gained so much notoriety that his work was cited as an ...
Nineteen Eighty-Four Turns 70 Years Old In A World That Looks A Lot Like The Book

This month, George Orwell’s legendary novel Nineteen Eighty-Four turns 70 years old, and the warnings contained within the story are now more relevant than ever. Orwell’s predictions were so spot on that it almost seems like it was used as some type of accidental instruction manual for would-be tyrants. In the world of Nineteen Eighty-Four, there is an all-encompassing surveillance state that keeps a watchful eye on everyone, in search of possible rebels and points of resistance. Censorship is the norm in this world, and is so extreme that individuals can become “unpersons” who are essentially deleted from society because their ideas were considered dangerous by the ...

Trump’s Vanity Will Destroy The Global Economy

Last year I asked the question “Will Trump torch the global economy on the bonfire of his vanity?” A year later we have the answer. It’s a resounding, “Yes.” I wrote after Trump pulled out of the JCPOA: Donald Trump wants regime change in Iran. His cancellation of the JCPOA was a decision born of his myopia. He has surrounded himself with people who reinforce his view and manipulate him via his vanity.And the price of implementing his current plan will be a global debt crisis which no one will escape. … He wants to remake America and the world in his image while undoing anything President Obama touched… We have a leaked (yeah, right) ...
“When you have a president who is a financial genius and a business Jesus like Donald Trump, you just got to trust him”

Saturday Night Live opened with a Meet the Press sketch that teased Republican leadership over their unimpeachable support of Donald Trump, even as the president’s actions conflict with their own political beliefs. For instance, all three GOP members – Beck Bennett’s Mitch McConnell, Kate McKinnon’s Lindsey Graham and Cicely Strong’s Susan Collins – were opposed to tariffs against China until Trump’s attempts to enforce them. “When you have a president who is a financial genius and a business Jesus like Donald Trump, you just got to trust him,” McKinnon’s Graham said. “This man has lost a hundred times more money than I have ever ...

Pope Francis Calls for End of Sovereignty and Establishment of Global Government

At a meeting of the Pontifical Academy held recently, Pope Francis (shown in white) advocated a policy of decreased national sovereignty and increased global unity. A shift toward globalism is necessary, he said, in order to fight climate change and other worldwide “threats.” "When a supranational common good is clearly identified, it is necessary to have a special authority legally and concordantly constituted capable of facilitating its implementation. We think of the great contemporary challenges of climate change, new forms of slavery and peace,” his holiness told those gathered to discuss “Nation, State, and Nation-State,” the conference theme.

Billy Beane would let ‘Jeopardy!’ champ James Holzhauer ‘ruin’ baseball

Recently, record-breaking “Jeopardy!” champ James Holzhauer said that his real dream was to work in a Major League Baseball front office. He loves baseball, of course, but as anyone who is aware of the way Holzhauer has applied an analytical framework and strategy to the popular gameshow is aware, there is a certain logic to that separate and apart from a love for the game. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he has, for lack of a better term, hacked “Jeopardy!” and it’s not an exaggeration to say that the modern baseball front office is largely in the business of hacking baseball, with each trying to get the most out of it they possibly can. Holzhauer’s ...
Run Out of Gas? Hut! Hut! Hut!

Running out of gas is apparently “suspicious,” too – and justifies a Hut! Hut! Hutting! Two guys in a black SUV were forcibly removed from their SUV, shackled and subjected to the demeaning “sit on the curb” Submission Training Exercise popular with AGWs as a tool for establishing their dominance. But what did the driver and his passenger do to warrant this treatment? Cue Dark Helmet… absolutely nothing. Not even a traffic violation. But the AGWs eructed “suspicious” – and that gave them the power to handle the two men as presumptive criminals, in the absence of any evidence that a crime had been committed. The men were forced ...

Riding a bicycle has changed – and the change may account for the waning of interest in driving as well as the waxing hostility between cyclists and drivers.Cycling is mostly an adult activity now. It’ rare to see kids out riding their bicycles – especially by themselves.They used to.A bicycle was once upon-a-time a kid’s first taste of real freedom. This appetizer tended to instill a hankering for more. An expectation. An awakening.Those who grew up before the era of helicopter parenting commenced in the ’90s will remember it because they lived it. Saturday morning came and as soon as you were finished with breakfast, you bolted outside, got on your bike ...
Our Former Right to Travel – And How to Reclaim It

Control mobility – free movement – and you have controlled the population. Their other rights are automatically cheapened into functional irrelevance if the right to come and go without permission and free from interference is denied. And so it has been. It took a couple of generations, but most Americans seem to implicitly accept the idea that travel – even on foot – is a conditional privilege conferred (and legitimately regulated) by “the government.” Which of course is just an evasive euphemism for the busybodies and control freaks who have somehow acquired a legal monopoly on the use of force – and who use its threat (and actuality) to enforce ...

from the it-keeps-the-money-rolling-in-though deptFri, Apr 26th 2019 10:44am — Tim Cushing The "War on Cops" is a belief system that's currently being preached to the converted. Evidence abounds that it's safer to be a cop now than it's ever been, and yet, officers still claim they're being targeted and use these unfounded fears to obtain military equipment and qualified immunity rulings. We've covered how safe police work is here before. But the narrative coming from the law enforcement community refuses to change, despite evidence to the contrary. Research is piling up, exposing law enforcement agencies' claims of cops being targeted by a vengeful ...

We take criminals under our wing, turn them into informants, and send them out into the general population to engage in criminal activity -- all under the assumption this will eventually lead to the dismantling of a drug cartel. Of course, this is the same rationale propelling civil asset forfeiture. But no matter how much property is taken from people never charged with crimes, drug cartels remain intact and their products continue to flow into the country. But that's only dollars and cars and houses lost. ...
Elizabeth Warren: We Need Big Government, ‘Nobody in America Succeeds on Their Own’

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) would like to follow in Barack Obama’s footsteps by winning the White House in 2020 and she seems to be taking a cue from the former president’s now infamous “If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that” speech in 2012. Like Obama, Warren believes it is not American ingenuity and hard work but the federal government that makes the people and the country great. Warren wrote in an op-ed for CNN Business Perspectives: Nobody in America succeeds on their own. Government-funded labs are fueling world-changing innovations. Much of American wealth was built through government-sponsored home equity. Strong American businesses ...
Florida Man Arrested, Thrown in Jail for Truck Sticker that Had the Word ‘A**’ On It

Lake City, FL — Freedom of speech, in the land of the free, is not guaranteed. Despite the wording of the First Amendment, claiming that “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech,” there are countless laws across the country designed to do exactly that. However, even when there aren’t archaic anti-speech laws on the books, police will all too often deprive people of their freedom — for practicing their freedom. A Florida man learned this the hard way when he was arrested this week for a sticker on the back of his truck. Dillon Shane Webb, 23, was pulled over this week by a Columbia County sheriff’s deputy. Webb had broken no traffic ...

Oklahoma City, OK — Disturbing body camera footage was released this week showing how normal childhood acts can and will lead to children being shot by police. Boys being boys is apparently now a reason for deadly force in the land of the free. Lorenzo Clerkley, 14, was playing with his friends two months ago when Oklahoma City police officer Kyle Holcomb put two bullets in him. Lorenzo was playing with friends in an abandoned house and he was also playing with toy guns with his other friends, but this was no reason for a cop to open fire—especially when the cop knew the boys were playing with toy guns. “Everything happened so quick,” Cherelle Lee, Lorenzo’s ...

The Mind Unleashed – by Emma Fiala For many, a trip to Disney World is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with some planning their trips years in advance. Sometimes, even a small change in plans—like a delayed flight or a thunderstorm—can result in a big loss when it comes to both money and fun. For one great-grandmother, her trip to the most magical place on earth turned into a nightmare. The 69-year-old woman from North Carolina was visiting Disney World when she was arrested after an Orange County Deputy discovered CBD oil in her purse. The great-grandmother, Hester Jordan Burkhalter, had been using CBD oil to treat arthritis on a recommendation from her doctor. She ...

DENVER — The Mile High City has become the first U.S. city to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms, commonly referred to as "magic mushrooms."Initiative 301 narrowly squeaked by, passing with only 50.56% of the vote, according to the final unofficial results. The measure appeared to be losing in early returns, with the "no" votes holding a substantial lead.The initiative would effectively decriminalize use or possession of psilocybin by people 21 and older, making it the lowest enforcement priority for police and prosecutors. The measure does not legalize psilocybin or permit its sale by cannabis businesses.The ordinance would also prevent city funds from being used ...

A civil rights attorney, local Democratic Party official and former San Francisco city supervisor is in hot water after repeatedly using the N-word during a public meeting last month. Angela Alioto has apologized but is facing calls for her removal from the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee over the incident during an April DCCC meeting with African-American union members. Without self-censoring, Alioto had used the N-word during that meeting while responding to a remark from an African-American woman about hearing the racial epithet in the workplace. “Full disclosure, I’m a civil rights trial lawyer,” Alioto said in a video of the meeting. “It’s ...
Pandering to Israel Means War With Iran

The United States is moving dangerously forward in what appears to be a deliberate attempt to provoke a war with Iran, apparently based on threat intelligence provided by Israel. The claims made by National Security Advisor John Bolton and by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that there is solid evidence of Iran’s intention to attack US forces in the Persian Gulf region is almost certainly a fabrication, possibly deliberately contrived by Bolton and company in collaboration with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It will be used to justify sending bombers and additional naval air resources to confront any possible moves by Tehran to maintain its oil exports, which were blocked by ...
