  • Children in Police Watch Houses: A Nasty Queensland Experiment

    They really are a brutal lot.  While the Queensland Labor Government croons on matters regarding rights, liberties and, it should be said, the plight of the First Nations Peoples, its policy, notably on youth detention, is a contradictory abomination.  This situation finds itself repeated across the country, though the Sunshine State, as it is sometimes […]

  • Meet the New Normal, Same as the Old Normal: You Are Still the Enemy Within   

    Today, we are witnessing the nudging (manipulation) of the population to accept a ‘new normal’ based on a climate emergency narrative, restrictions on movement and travel, programmable digital money, ‘pandemic preparedness’ courtesy of the World Health Organization’s tyrannical pandemic treaty, unaccountable AI and synthetic ‘food’. Whether it involves a ‘food transition’, an ‘energy transition’, 15-minute […]

  • The Virus We Should Really be Concerned About is the Neoliberal Virus

    psychosis (noun) UK /saɪˈkəʊ.sɪs/ US /saɪˈkoʊ.sɪs/ “Any of a number of the more severe mental illnesses that make someone believe things that are not real” — Cambridge Dictionary As the United States continues to reach untold depths of barbarism and depravity it is important to understand the role played by the neoliberal virus in catapulting […]

  • Nikole Hannah-Jones, Frederick Douglass, and the Left

    Twitter conversations with public intellectuals are rarely worthy of note, but a recent exchange I had with Nikole Hannah-Jones, famed mastermind of the New York Times’ 1619 Project, was symptomatic of widespread tendencies in left-liberal culture and brought up important issues. Hannah-Jones is a spokeswoman for wokeness, the cultural phenomenon that, as I’ve written elsewhere, […]

  • We the Targeted: How the Government Weaponizes Surveillance to Silence Its Critics

    We the Targeted: How the Government Weaponizes Surveillance to Silence Its Critics

    Ever since Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his groundbreaking “I Have a Dream” speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, the Deep State has been hard at work turning King’s dream into a living nightmare. The end result of the government’s efforts over the past 60 years is […]

  • The Three M’s: Mutual Aid, Magnanimity and Meals on Wheels

    The Three M’s: Mutual Aid, Magnanimity and Meals on Wheels

    While August 19 was International Humanitarian Day, just a short stone’s throw from the Waldport Post Office is a hub of volunteers and one director feeding the soul of the needy on a weekly basis. For manager Nicole Person, her 10 years of service with Meals on Wheels in Waldport have been a lesson in […]

  • Elephants in the Room: battered women are our sisters, mothers, friends, wives

    Elephants in the Room: battered women are our sisters, mothers, friends, wives

    The most difficult aspect of writing about BWS — battered wife syndrome or intimate partner violence — is that as a man, I have to embrace reality: gender violence is not just fostered by the socialization of men to be more powerful than women, but for so many judges, lawyers, DAs and the public, this […]

  • America’s Likely Civil War?      

    Across America, whispers softly speak about whether there’s an undeclared civil war. Well, maybe yes, maybe no, but what are the signals? What about January 6th hand-to-hand combat on the steps of the nation’s capitol with 136 (injured) police officers, was it civil unrest or incipient civil war? Those questions are answered by Barbara F. […]

  • The Road to Totalitarianism (Part 3)

    The Road to Totalitarianism (Part 3)

    So, the Germans are putting me on trial for my thoughtcrimes, and, apparently, I’ve already been found guilty and sentenced. Bear with me and I’ll try to explain. The Berlin District Court has issued a so-called “penalty order” or “order of punishment,” in which I am advised that I am now officially a criminal in […]

  • Grandiose Narcissism of the Billionaire Class

    Grandiose Narcissism of the Billionaire Class

    Are we witnessing the slow, inexorable decay of the human spirit?  A human life–or rather, its degraded facsimile–has become cheap, even contemptible, in 21st century American “society,” an aberrant place where freakish celebrities are role-models and sociopathic mega-billionaires are revered. Wealth-concentration has now reached such extremes that, in the U.S. alone, over 500 billionaires ride roughshod […]
