Nationalism vs. Globalism is the Issue

Image
The battle between nationalism and globalism is the issue of our day, not conservatism vs. liberalism, not libertarianism vs. socialism. Forget your chosen “ism” for just a second and notice what is going on in DC and around the world. Get the big picture, friends. Just listen to what globalist Angela Merkel of Germany said recently about nationalism.  According to Merkel , “Nation states must today be prepared to give up their sovereignty.”   Really now. Get the Big Picture And earlier this month, globalist French President Emmanuel Macron scolded President Trump directly , disparaging Trump’s patriotism at the World War I armistice centennial in Paris, alleging, "Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism.”   So according to Macron, one cannot love one’s country and be a patriot at the same time.  Macron claims love of country and patriotism are opposites.  These are word tricks, gaslighting, and they won’t w...

155 Years Ago, Remembered

Image
155 years ago, as I write, after an overnight stay at the home of a local supporter, President Abraham Lincoln readied himself for the short carriage ride to the Gettysburg Battlefield.  Lincoln had not been scheduled to speak that day, only to bear witness to an oration by the well-known expositor, Edward Everette.  As Lincoln left the White House the day before, wife Mary urged him not to go as Tad, their youngest, lay feverish in the bed.  But Lincoln understood the importance of the trip to the site where four months prior, after the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, Union forces had finally been able to stop the Confederate General Robert E. Lee from advancing.  Had Lee been victorious, the outcome of the war could have been much different. The purpose of Lincoln’s trip that day was to help commemorate the Gettysburg Battlefield as the final resting place of Americans on both sides of the ideological conflict.  These were citizen soldiers who fought a...

The Greatest Movie Ever

Image
I’m just watching the same movie you are, friends.  Maybe the difference is that I see it as just that, a movie.  It has a plot, which is already written and decided, a cast of characters, a location, a set of circumstances.  And each character has his or her motivations.  We have President Trump, for example, who according to the trailer is the self-made billionaire whose pure love of country has made it impossible for him to remain in the satisfying comforts of his home high atop Trump Tower, and who, at the very last moment possible, walks away from the opulence and grandeur of a capitalist empire that took 50 years to build, compelled by circumstance to save America, the country he loves, from a final internal overthrow by the evil and diabolical globalists. You have the attractive and talented Trump family supporting him, the stunning wife who speaks with a mysterious accent.  You have the malevolent deep state, which includes members of each major pol...

America, Providence or Destruction?

Image
One obvious truth of social media is that Americans will never again make political decisions without input from others.  It is pretty easy to see where most stand on the issues.  It should be easy to see where I stand.  I’ve been accused of shilling for President Trump, for wearing a tinfoil hat, for being naïve about Trump’s supposed ulterior motives.  I hear Trump is a puppet for the elite, that he is a member of the cabal himself, that everything he does is in seek of even more power and money.  Trump is a megalomaniac’s envy.  How could I be so blind? But even the critics would have to agree, Trump is the rainmaker.  Where Trump campaigns, it rains Republican votes.  As we speak the GOP stands to gain vital seats in the US Senate, holding important Governorships in swing states such as Florida and Ohio.  In that same breath though, I admit an uneasy feeling going to bed Tuesday night.  At that time, it was looking very much like...

Storm is at the Door

Image
In last week’s article entitled, “It’s Payback Time,” I recalled growing up in “Camelot” prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  Afterward, even from my 8-year-old perspective, the world changed, for the worse.  People I knew changed for the worse.  The trajectory of world events changed for the worse.  As America mourned, the outlook for peace in the world retreated, practically abandoned. As his fate approached, JFK decided to pull US advisors out of Vietnam, sent there by Eisenhower.  Doing so would have prevented an eventual military involvement that would leave 58,000 Americans dead, their names carved in consolation on a wall in DC, countless US casualties, American families irrevocably broken, not to mention millions of enemy victims. Five months prior to his assassination, JFK ordered the US Treasury Department to begin abandoning the policy of borrowing Federal Reserve currency to pay the bills of the US government. On June 4t...

It’s Payback Time

Image
When did you first become aware of the larger world beyond your home, immediate family, your friends, your school, maybe trips to the grocery store with mom?  For me, it was during the days many referred as, “Camelot.” Now I vaguely remember the election of 1960.  My dad voted for Nixon, mom for Kennedy.  I remember them saying they cancelled each other’s vote.  That would not happen today, not without hair pulling, a divorce or worse, but I digress.  So, I remember Camelot in America, the presidency of John F. Kennedy, who together with First Lady Jackie, children Caroline and John Jr., or “John John,” presented an image of style and grace, humor and humility, the ideal American family, at least it appeared. At our school I remember JFK’s picture hanging next to the American flag.  Each day before instruction, we would stand, place our hands over our hearts and recite the Pledge, followed by the Lord’s Prayer.  Then we would sing patriotic songs conve...

Trump on a Fed Warpath

Image
When Trump says repeatedly, "There is no global currency," and when he tells the Saudis they must pay for their own defense, he is really telling the world the Petrodollar system is going away.  Since 1975, the Petrodollar has been the primary factor conveying value to the US dollar overseas.  It is the reason countries around the world use US dollars for international trade, even when the US is not involved.  And to obtain enough dollars to buy OPEC oil, those countries are forced to sell America a lot of cheap stuff.  It’s a form of enslavement.  And the only reason the Saudis, or any other OPEC nations (Iran and Venezuela the exceptions), price their oil in dollars is that as part of that agreement, the US pledges to protect those nations from foreign aggressors.  But if, as Trump has publicly urged now many times, the Saudis and other OPEC nations eventually protect themselves, they won't need US dollars except for what they buy from America. That means...

What’s Up Trump’s Sleeve?

Image
I have written several times now how Trump “holds all the cards.”  There is nothing the DC Democrats, or those around the country, can legally do to avoid the natural course of events justice requires, or the upcoming red wave in the November midterms.  And notice that everything the Dems attempt works in reverse.  While each of the Democrat’s desperate efforts might work effectively to cement the political resolve of the radical left, meaning those who will vote Democrat regardless, recent Democrat tactics, many perceived indecent and morally repugnant, have convince more and more American voters in the middle, which is where the real midterm battle occurs, to take Trump’s invitation and walk away to vote Republican.  To make things worse for themselves, Democrat tactics are motivating those who would normally sit on the sidelines to join the red wave.  And now that beleaguered Brett Kavanaugh has finally taken his rightful seat on the US Supreme Court, and f...

History in the Making, Magic in the End

Image
Remember last week I wrote, “Trump holds all the cards.”  Now, as we await the results (as of this writing) of the supplemental FBI background check of US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the purpose of which, as I also documented last week, is simply a hail Mary attempt by the Democrats to postpone the confirmation vote as long as possible, a few observations might be appropriate. The first observation is this: If Professor Ford really did not want her letter publicized, why did she send it to people desperate for political ammunition to fight the Kavanaugh nomination, people also known for leaking information?  Secondly, only the people in receipt of her letter possessed it.  And only those who possessed it, they being Senator Dianne Feinstein and Ford’s US House Representative, could have leaked it.  But neither elected official will admit that they, or their offices, had anything to do with leaking the letter.  Think about that.  If two people...

Trump Holds All the Cards

Image
President Trump holds all the cards, friends.  And he is playing them in such a way that he has every DC Democrat, and the cabal they represent, panicking.  The craziness of the Dems with respect to the Kavanaugh Supreme Court appointment, personified by the parading of female sexual assault accusers, is a sign of desperation.  The Democrats have nothing else.  This is simply a stalling tactic.  They introduced one accuser well after the Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing, the effect of which stalled the confirmation vote for at least ten days.  Because it worked, last Sunday evening, after a deal was set for accuser #1 to testify five days hence, others even less credible came forward.  Let’s see…two accusers at ten days a piece…that’s twenty days.  A few more and the Dems get past the midterms.  You see how desperate they are?  And each day is one more that the Democrats can hope Trump’s declassification of FISA-related documents can als...

Traitor Curtain About to Drop

Image
It still amazes me the number of people who do not, or will not, recognize that America suffered an attempted, calculated, silent coup.  While we went about personal business, America was taken over. Fortunately, the job was not complete.  A Hillary Clinton presidency, though, would have closed the deal.  The American Experiment would have been over, deemed a failure by any rational account, the last, best hope of earth lost forever. I witnessed the overthrow of America for many years, unwittingly.  Something was wrong, politically, but I could not put my finger on it.  Time after time, major federal and state legislation worked against the purposes of the people and for the purposes of private interests.  Campaign reform was obviously needed at the federal level. But when that bill finally passed, corporate interests won the day again, subsequently cementing control over our government by the use of private purse strings which open and close as politicia...

Trump Sends Enemies to Fantasy Island

Image
We’ve talked about this for a couple of weeks now, that President Trump and Attorney General Sessions, while seeming at odds, purposely present that way.  The reason is to throw off their (our) enemies.  Those enemies are members of a dangerous cabal that took over the US Government, which would have cemented its control under a Hillary presidency, utilizing the corporate media it controls.  As discredited as it is, the mainstream media remains formidable, providing cover for its masters by continually attacking President Trump with lies designed to sap his power.  While that game is working with fewer and fewer Americans, it remains a powerful tactic with the ill-informed left. Many are frustrated with Trump and Sessions, understanding the criminal nature of the cabal.  They do not understand why Trump does not simply explain to the world the nature of the criminal element that took over our government, naming the ring leaders as he does, and dispatch the Jus...

One Day Soon It’s All Going to Change

Image
Last week, you might recall, I let you in on a secret, that President Trump and Attorney General Sessions have been pulling your leg, the President tweeting what a horrible job his premier law-enforcement officer was doing, Sessions in turn pronouncing defiance against Trump, refusing to politicize the US Justice Department, even if directed to do so by the President.  The result? Equilibrium, Trump is still tweeting, Sessions is still quietly working his job as he understands it.  And why are they doing that?  As I told you last week, conflict. Trump seeks information-laden conflict.  Conflict draws attention of the masses, large segments of which would never understand the issues Trump and Sessions rail about unless attracted by raised voices. And as I also told you last week, because the bought-and-paid-for fake news media positions Trump as their enemy, the President knows they will side with Sessions and praise the Attorney General as a fair-minded departure...

Truth Will Set US Free

Image
You may have noticed, many of my articles center on money and the Federal Reserve banking system.  I write on this subject to help explain how America got to where it is today, $71 trillion in actual signed-on debt, and an American citizenry possessing very little effective control over a government once described as, “of, by and for the people.”  When Lincoln coined that term and used it at Gettysburg, he also informed future American generations that it falls on them to ensure that popular government “shall not perish from the earth.”  And so, according to our 16th President, each generation is born with the responsibility that when its time is complete, the form of government it inherited would still be in place.  Unfortunately, that responsibility has not been fulfilled. I believe that Americans who might read this article are either extremely fortunate to have been born here, or just as fortunate to find themselves in America by whatever means that occurred....

American Form of Government, Not What You Think

Image
Last week I discussed how the Federal Reserve System, a private, corporate institution, creates dollars, essentially loaning them at interest into circulation for us to use.  I explained that because all dollars are loaned at interest, they must be paid back.  And I explained that because the system does not issue dollars necessary to pay the interest, the only way to do so is to borrow more dollars and pay the interest on the existing dollars out of new dollars just borrowed. Importantly, under this system, each dollar of principle paid back to its primary lender is removed from circulation.  So were the American people to attempt to pay back $71 trillion they and their government owe, with only $14 trillion in circulation, they would retire every dollar in the money supply and be left with $57 trillion of debt, and no dollars to pay it.  That is how the system works.  And that is why it is hopeless to cut government spending to balance things out.  Cutt...
