  The Government Lies Just Keep On Coming Candidates don’t understand that a truly strong America means fundamental rights and no wars Philip Giraldi The Framers of the United States Constitution understood several things very clearly from their experience as a colonial vassal state with only limited legislative or self-governing authority under the rule of Britain’s King George III. That principle lesson learned, justifying a revolution, was that the leader or ruler of a nation must not be allowed to unilaterally initiate armed conflicts because war is the greatest calamity that can afflict a nation and its people. That was why the US president under the balance of powers had no ability under the Constitution to initiate a war on his or her own authority. It required an act of war approved by Congress with the legislature also providing the funding and most of the manpower through voluntary levies from the state militias as the national army was deliberately small. And why might a rev

  It doesn't count as terrorism when Israel does it Israel has a right to do whatever the hell it likes In the latest edition of “Israel has a right to defend itself”, Israel intercepted a batch of pagers bound for Lebanon and turned them into bombs. Explosions went off around the suburbs of Beirut and injured about three thousand people, with 12 confirmed dead and hundreds suffering horrific injuries. Cunningly, Israel did not detonate all of the pagers at once. It waited until the next day to detonate more during the funerals of the first round of victims. This is why the IDF is the world’s most moral army. In a remarkable coincidence, the American  University of Beirut Medical Center  replaced the pagers of its doctors and staff two weeks ago, but the US explained it knew nothing about this. However, it said it totally supports Israel, if and when it claims responsibility for the brutal mass murder. Everyone knows Israel has a right to defend itself by attacking first, but it ca

  Sutherland, Kalergi, Camus, Replacism and Technocracy Iain Davis In the UK, the so-called far-right‘s stance on immigration is said to be driven by “the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.” According to the influential global think tank the  Institute for Strategic Studies  (ISD): “The Great Replacement” theory was first coined by French writer Renaud Camus. Identitarian movements across Europe (including in Austria, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany) have used the theory to recruit others to their cause, claiming their countries and national “identities” are under threat due to increasing immigrant populations. It is true, in part, that Camus made this argument. Some elements of his philosophy are racist and do offer apparent rationales for religious bigotry. It is also true that Camus has been influential in the rise of the  identitarian movement,  which is perceived as “right-wing.” Identitarianism broadly stands in opposition to  identitiy politics , considere

  What the Springfield Cat Controversy Exposes About Immigration Cats and dogs are a distraction Ayaan Hirsi Ali  and  Connor Tomlinson President Trump said, in  his first debate  with Democrat candidate Kamala Harris, that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are “eating the dogs [...] eating the cats [...] eating the pets of the people that live there”.  X  was awash with AI-generated images of Trump  surrounded by cats  and saving them from  hungry Haitians . Democrat politicians, city officials, and hostile media seek to distract from the failings of the Biden-Harris administration by debunking Trump’s hyperbole. But the story of small towns and cities in America, suffering from the costs and cultural consequences of mass demographic change, is being lost in the weeds of internet memes. Mass immigration is going horribly wrong in Springfield, Ohio — as it has across the US, UK, and Europe. So far, the only arrest for eating a cat in Ohio (a sentence I never thought I’d write) is
