  • The Deep State’s Plot to Destabilize the Nation Is Working

    The Deep State’s Plot to Destabilize the Nation Is Working

    The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable… — H.L. Mencken, “Le Contrat Social” in Prejudices: Third Series […]

  • The Myopia of Anglo-American Rulers

    The Myopia of Anglo-American Rulers

    International Relations (IR) theory fails to deliver on one of its key promises, specifically to produce positivist, value free analysis. What we encounter in the vast majority of international theory is the provincial or parochial normative purpose of defending and celebrating the ideal of the West in world politics. IR theory can no longer be […]

  • Brace Yourselves: A Tsunami Approaches

    Brace Yourselves: A Tsunami Approaches

    What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could […]

  • North Korea Does Not Pose a Threat to the United States

    In an election year, both US parties are competing to outdo one another with hawkish rhetoric on the Korean Peninsula, leaning heavily into the strategy of confrontation with China through the US-South Korea-Japan tripartite alliance; a flawed vision that threatens to “erupt into a regional war, a full-scale war, or even a nuclear war.” In […]

  • Disinformation Isn’t the Problem: Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

    Disinformation Isn’t the Problem: Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

    What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a […]

    The hopeless fault-finder. Illustration: Liu Rui/GT These days the People’s Republic of China is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Over the past 75 years, China has grown from a poor and backward country to the world’s second-largest economy, with about one-sixth of the world’s population escaping poverty.

  • The Most Important US Presidential Election of Our Lifetime

    The Most Important US Presidential Election of Our Lifetime

    Left-liberals plea every four years that this really is the most important election ever and time to hold our noses and send a Democrat to the White House. The manifest destiny of US world leadership, we are told, is at stake, as is our precious democracy which we have so generously been exporting abroad. Let’s […]

    Presidential Marxism: AKD and the Sri Lankan Elections

    Anura Kumara Dissanayake, known with convenient laziness as AKD, became Sri Lanka’s latest president after a runoff count focusing on preferential votes.  The very fact that it went to a second count with a voter turnout of 77% after a failure of any candidate to secure a majority was itself historic, the first since Sri […]
