Divided Nation
It's true, America is politically divided, and it's also true that a second civil war in this country may be on the horizon. The violence in our society is pointing in one direction. Events caused by mentally deranged individuals may morph into armed group conflicts, skirmishes, and armed...

Evaluating Risk
Evaluating Risk. When making important decisions, one should always determine strengths and weaknesses. Of course, with consistency free from corruptive values like manipulation, lies, or governmental propaganda, one should evaluate risk. When you have power and overwhelming popular support, you...
-
Federalist Papers
Federalist Papers. President Trump enjoys saying he's a student of history, and you might say he's familiar with America's way-back documents. While on the campaign trail for the presidency, Mr. Trump often said he wanted to reduce the Federal Government, and in principle, this has been a...
-
Governmental Extortion
It shouldn't be any surprise that extortion is a common practice in government. After the 1980 to 1988 war, Saddam Hussein asked President George H. Bush what he was going to give him for fighting Iran. Bush replied, "Nothing. You didn't win," So Hussein invaded Kuwait for its oil, which made…

Evolution Ending
Whether you like it or not, in 1838 Charles Darwin revealed one of the great secrets of the natural world. He saw that this world is ever changing with all living things evolving and that's since life began on Earth. When we turn our backs on the laws of nature, we put ourselves at great risk. AI...
-
Los Angeles Burning
It's said Emperor Nero was complicit in 64 AD burning of ancient Rome. He wanted a modern city to complement his enormous and lavish palace. So, burning down Rome served a purpose. In a semi-arid landscape, L.A.'s fires might be considered NEGLIGENT. Southern California's property assessors...
-
Buying Canada
When applying for a loan at a bank, it's a common practice to supply a financial statement. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule. For example, if you're the son or daughter of the bank's president or some other widely recognized individual, it's usually a simple question of how much money...
-
The Enablers
It's nothing new that corruption exists in American politics, and machine politicians play a significant part. They deceive to stay in power. The unknown facts are that Joe Biden, in the 2020 election to the presidency, was already suffering from a serious mental condition that was hidden from…

The Coming Crash
The Coming Crash. The people, and by the people, Americans are going to take the fall when the crash arrives. The American people have been lied to and deceived by the politicians. They said everything was all right, but it wasn't. When the Russian Federation and the European Union sign a treaty...
-
Borrowed Time
Borrowed Time. A crash is coming to America and it may be sooner than later. The American people were lied to about inflation being transitory when, in fact, it's become embedded that America's open borders have permitted millions of illegal immigrants to enter this country, that journalists on...
-
Panama Canal
The Panama Canal will play a significant role in the future collapse of America. The crash is coming, and it won't just be because of financial failures in this country. No, future sociologists will point to America's cultural illnesses that made the rest of the World turn away from our country....
-
The Cause
America's future may not be as bright as our politicians would have us believe. No, a crash is nearly a certainty, but it won't be because of our financial failures. Sociologists will call it our Cultural Collapse, like a speeding car out of control crashing into a crowded parade. It's a story...
-
America's Crash
Historians won't acknowledge the future crash of America as a financial collapse but as a cultural failure. Daily mass killings, looting of businesses and carjackings, educational standards removing merit achievement for equality, and the rising of suicide rates. It will be politicians deceiving...
-
The Fear
It's recognized that fear is a primal emotion and may actually come from evolution. Some fears are ancient emotions passed on from generation to generation. Psychologists have identified this condition by testing it in laboratories. They've found as a species, we have innate fears, such as fear…

The Deceit
I don't need to tell you how bad things have become. We have career politicians whose only interests are to retain power. We have politicians who have been in office for 30 or 40 years and are responsible for creating our government's debt of over 35 trillion dollars. If you think that debt isn't...
-
Our Danger
This country is actively supporting two wars with the potential of a third, but the American people have been lied to about Biden's ability to make important decisions. Biden has been manipulated by people running the White House who have hidden the truth. Politicians lie, but if revealed, they...
-
Standing Still
It may feel like we're standing still, but astronomers have determined that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is spinning at 500,000 mph. We're spinning along as if nothing is happening. But American politics seem to be spinning out of control: There was the assassination attempt with Mr. Trump shot....
-
Our Corruption
Do these words sound familiar? Pay to play, fraud, embezzlement, intimidation, nepotism, assassination, murder for hire, Ponzi schemes, bribery, patronage, rigged pricing, antitrust violations, falsification, profiteering, double-dealing, phony money, leveraging, surveillance, addictions, lying,...

Origins of Life
Fossils as old as 4.1 billion years in Western Australia contained microlife. In 2023, samples from an asteroid returned to Earth were found to have partial RNA molecules. We're searching for life in outer space, but in truth, we're attempting to escape the inevitability of our dying planet....
-
Rigged Wall Street
One of the foundations of our Capitalist system is a rigged Wall Street. Some people make enormous profits from it. When you have executives from companies who buy back shares of their own company raising the price of their shares, that’s called trading with inside information. Those executives...
-
Our Illusions
We may say we have a democracy, but the truth is that our elected officials aren't concerned about their constituencies but with the corporations that bring them to power. Regarding voting, approximately 50% of eligible voters actually do, and 50% don't care. We have a Corporatocracy that runs…

War's Big Business
Running a war economy is a profitable proposition just so long as you can keep winning. However, whether we're winning or losing, some people in this country have become very rich from it. Our politicians keep being reelected because of our Military Industrial Corps. and their executives ensure…
more -
Corruption
One way or another, every man, woman, and child will have to pay for our government's 34 trillion debt. Our politicians say we're a nation of laws, yet they've historically committed the largest theft since the invention of money. But don't worry, cause one day they'll get in front of the...
-
Fisa Court
America's government has lost the people's confidence, and that's why politicians use their power to retain their power. Our government recently passed legislation to surreptitiously spy without a court order worldwide on foreign governments because of an imminent emergency. The World may not…

Who Owns What?
History tells us no one owns anything forever. Nothing remains the same. You can only borrow it for a while. The Palestinian people want to reclaim what they say belongs to them. But that's unlikely unless one of two things happen: The Persian Gulf runs out of oil causing America's military to...
-
Political Seismic Earthquake
America's financial preeminence is coming to a close. The Russian Federation will defeat the Ukrainian army, with President Zellenski exiled to Poland. Russia will return dominating Ukraine's internal political structure. More importantly, the European Union is going to enter into partnerships of...
-
Something Replaceable
I'm a natural man, not a Democrat, nor a Republican, a Socialist, a Communist, or even an Anarchist. I know this: When something in nature is removed, it's replaced with something else. Our politicians will tell you everything is all right. In fact, they'll say things couldn't be better. But...
-
Isn't Everybody Happy
I make predictions by what is happening today. America's economic influence and prestige since World War II is coming to a close. We're financing two wars with a potential third on the horizon from a government that is over 34 trillion dollars in debt. If Iran now has nuclear weapons the Middle...
-
Enemy From Within
There won't be any escaping from our future. Corruption in all of its various forms will result in unimaginable pain for Americans. In the near future, we may see rank and file in our military unwilling to follow orders or worse sabotage resources like ships and aircraft. It will reach into our...
-
Future Nuclear Wars
We said we could build nuclear weapons to keep the peace. But we never understood that the human condition of envy, greed and violence would win out. In the future, when Iran and Israel use nuclear weapons the World will blame America for its failed Policy of Deterrence to keep the peace. The...
-
Surveillance
It's true: American's distrust our government and our government distrusts Americans. Our representatives aren't really interested in serving the people. No, they're motivated to preserve the well being of the government and not the public. That's why governmental agencies listen in to millions…
more -
The Collapse
The Collapse. Let's put our emotions aside and look at our present condition. We're supplying two wars financially and militarily: The Ukraine / Russian Federation war and the Middle East with Israel/ Hamas, Hizbollah war. Plus, our Navy is being attacked in the Red Sea by Houthis in Yemen, also...
-
America’s Cash Register
America's Cash Register. There's a rising tide against America's support of Israel leveling the Gaza Strip. If the Palestinian people hated the Israelis before they slaughtered 1200 of them on Oct. 8th, then the destruction of the Gaza strip won't just create fear in the hearts of the…
more -
Untrustworthy Government
Untrustworthy Government. Can the American people trust what their government tells them? Or what's worse, do news organizations fail their professional obligations by aligning with politicians? There are powerful people who are continually reelected to office for 30 or 40 years and are masters…
more -
Plenty to Worry About
Plenty to Worry About. We recently ended our twenty year war with Afghanistan leaving behind billions of dollars of weapons. Now we're actively involved with two wars: The Middle East war and the European war with Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Including bombing the country of Yemen…

Rural vs Urban
Rural vs Urban. I'm a natural man, so my preference is for small town values. But that doesn't mean rural America is free from corruption. It's just at a smaller scale. It's a human trait and not confined to one political party. Politicians reelected to office for 30 or 40 years are corrupted by...
-
Biden or Trump
Unless things change rapidly, the 2024 Presidential election is shaping up as a replay of the 2020 contest. Of course, time marches on. As President, Joe likes to claim he's brought prosperity to America. He says he's building the bottom up and the middle out by taxing the rich. Putting that…
more -
Sins of the Father
The acorn never falls far from the tree, including politicians ambitions. I'm not an advocate, a benefactor, or a propagandist for a Republican or Democrat. Pealing away the various layers of the political onion reveals a corrupt center. It's said, the sins of the father shouldn't be visited on…

The Big Switch
You don't think the people in control are going to tell you the truth, do you? If oil is running out, failing to supply 19 million barrels a day to run our economy would create a financial crisis. Nobody at the top is going to tell you there isn't enough oil. Instead, they're hurrying to switch…

Building a new Palestine
If Palestinians were given 9,000 sq. miles of land where would it be? Well it wouldn't be the 9,000 sq. miles the Israelis claim is theirs. The truth is Ottoman Sultans claimed control of a good part of the Middle East for 500 years until 1918 including what is now Israel, and the Sultans aren't...
-
Nuclear Confrontation
Nuclear Confrontation. If I'm right and Iran now possesses nuclear weapons, the war in the Middle East is about to get a lot bloodier. Hezbollah with Iranian forces will conduct a war of attrition against Israel's northern border. And if Israel believes it's in a war for its survival, it may use...
-
Iran's Nuclear Bombs
The Israel/Hamas war is looking more like a regional war with muslim countries wanting to drive the Israelis out of the Middle East. In basic terms, it's a Law of Nature: Survival of the Fittest. Iran's acquisition of nuclear bombs means it will attempt to end America's influence in the Middle...
-
Failed Verification
You're wrong if you think this country is safe with a nuclear bomb arsenal. Weapons of mass destruction aren't only conceived and developed in this country and they don't have to be delivered by intercontinental ballistic missiles. No, a weapon the size of a refrigerator smuggled in this country...
-
Spelling "DA"
We've sold weapons around the World making profits and one day that'll come back on us. We've become merchants of death. If you don't think the smallest nuclear bombs can be smuggled into this country, then you've never understood why a handful of fanatics with box cutters attacked this country…
more -
Unsuccessful Deterrence
Building a nuclear bomb isn't a deterrence. Instead, it doesn't create peace. The reason Hamas attacked Israel may have been because Iran now has obtained nuclear weapons. Building weapons of mass destruction don't promote peace and if you don't think the size of a refrigerator with a nuclear…

Ownership
With the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, Great Britain, France and Arab leaders created the countries of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, and the recognition of a Jewish homeland in the Palestinian Region. America's president, Woodrow Wilson didn't join the League of Nations but declared a…

Used-up Future
I don't instantaneously report the news. I attempt to predict where we're going. At present we have two wars with America's indirect involvement, the Middle East war and the European war in Ukraine. We're supplying weapons and strategic information for the prosecution of those two wars. Americans...
-
The Tipping Point
The coming months are to reveal the unexpected. We may have used up our future. The American people have been deceived into believing our U.S. Congress or the President are going to resolve the problems facing our country. No politician will vote to remove the Nations 33 trillion dollar debt. It...
