Pretty amazing.
But the plot thickened once German authorities realized that Franco A.’s fingerprints matched exactly those of the Syrian immigrant, David Benjamin. They then realized Franco A. and David Benjamin were one and the same person. “German army officer led double life as Syrian immigrant, planned to kill politicians.” By Joseph Fitsanakis, Intelnews.org, 5/21/21.

Iron laws of arithmetic — Part MMMMCCLIX.
If they [the Fed] could have nipped it [inflation] in the bud, they would have done it. The reason they haven’t done it is because they can’t. And because they can’t fight inflation, that’s why they have to pretend that it’s transitory. Because if they could fight it, now is the time to do it. …

Tinkerbell to the rescue.
There is a fallacy that government spending, on infrastructure or anything else, creates jobs or economic growth in the aggregate. Murray Rothbard addressed the issue in great detail in his article “The Fallacy of the ‘Public Sector.” In summary, there is no such thing as the Infrastructure Fairy that takes government spending and magically turns …

The great John Wayne.
Despite his reputation as a stern and stoic man, the Duke was not above laughing at himself. In 1973, Wayne was invited by satirical Harvard University newspaper, The Harvard Lampoon, to receive the “Brass Balls Award.” What started as a joke at his expense became an Army convoy complete with an armored personnel carrier for …

Insight into the rules-based world order.
The term “rules-based world order” has surfaced in U.S. diplospeak in recent years. Whatever does it mean? [Russian Foreign Minister Sergey] Lavrov surveys the results of the recent G7, NATO and US-EU summits prior to Putin-Biden in Geneva: These meetings were carefully prepared in a way that leaves no doubt that the West wanted to …

Thank you, Jesus.
Nikole Hannah-Jones, eminent scholar, departs the University of North Carolina to delight and inform the journalism students at Howard University.[1] Nothing says “scholar” in my book so much as bright red clown hair but that’s just me. The quality of her work, however, is beyond dispute. Fact, Jack. Well, ok. Sincere condolences to those future …

Pearls of expression.
Corporations like Warner Music Group, Sony Music Group, and Comcast gave donations of $100 million each to social justice organizations like BLM just this month. I mean, we all know how underrepresented blacks are in the music industry. Apparently, the U.S. music industry had decided that promoting gangster culture, violence, drug use, and objectification of …

The F-86 Sabre jet.
This is from an interesting article about air combat in Korea: As in the [case] of Spitfires during the Battle of Britain, F86s were fighting against heavy odds in Korea. Approximately 800 MiGs were based in Manchuria and China. The Soviet Union had supplied China with more sweptwing fighters than the United States had even …

Now we know.
The fed hasn’t started to end QE yet. In fact, it hasn’t even set a date to start the taper. All the fed’s money printers have done is admit that they have begun to discuss when to think about a time for the start of tapering $120b per month in asset purchases.[1] And that’s definite. …

True up to a point.
In conclusion, I think it abundantly clear that what we have been told about what took place [involving Sergei and Yulia Skripal] on 4th March in the beautiful city of Salisbury is not, in fact, true. It is clear that something else happened, and much of what we have seen since then has been theatre …

Pearls of expression.
On the topic of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace views on equity and antiracism in nuclear policymaking: So, nuclear power is now racist. Poor [Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Sergei] Ryabkov, poor [Russian Foreign Minister Sergey] Lavrov–now you understand why Lavrov is a chain smoker? You would become one when you have to deal with …

Liberty’s last gleaming.
Suffice it to say that when and if a true history of the FBI is ever written, it will not only track the rise of the American police state but it will also chart the decline of freedom in America: how a nation that once abided by the rule of law and held the government …

Eternal hostility to legacy Americans.
In the 1960s, African American’s opposed to the Vietnam war adopted the slogan “No Viet Cong ever called me n1g.ger” — the real enemy, they surmised, was white people at home in the United States. Legacy Americans must make a similar realisation: “No Chicom ever called me racist”. The biggest threat today isn’t Russia or …

Who is this toad?
As of September 2020, there were 31 Soros-backed DAs in the United States. That might not sound like a lot, but it includes the DAs of Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, and St. Louis. All told, tens of millions of Americans are now victims of the Soros racket in the form …

The Black Budget | Catherine Austin Fitts.
This gives new meaning to the word “insiders.” It’s amazing how federal money just goes missing.

And you thought byzantine was the gold standard.
Byzanitine in the sense of dark political maneuvering, deviousness, and complexity. Given the hatred of Trump in all quarters and multiple election irregularities . . . It begs the question. Did China release this virus on purpose to destroy Trump and rig his removal from office? It seems plausible. The timing is unquestionably coincidental. I …

Living in Realville.
Rush liked to say he lived in Realville. Brian has an interesting post about moving there. Common sense strikes again. When I arrived in college, I was surrounded by more liberals and liberal teachers. I didn’t need the additional indoctrination. I arrived there pre-packaged. So I began the working years of my life with an …

On Kamala Harris
Not for the faint of heart: “On Kamala Harris.” By Carol’s Blog, 4/27/21. Note the part about Khalid al-Mansour and Barack O’Bama. (FWP: The above was edited to remove a misattribution, after the misattributed person wrote me to inform me of it. Thank you.)

The stupid, pointless, greasy leftist revolution.
What are now referred to as superannuated WASPs managed it all [America’s achievements in the first part of the 20th century] while their impeccable manners hid their will of iron. After them came LBJ, Vietnam, social unrest, too much migration, and the deluge. All great states fall from within and America is no exception. Uncle …

The Deep State at work.
The Deep State, or whatever you want to call the ruling oligarchy controlling the levers of society, have been able to deflect responsibility for the current state of affairs by having their captured media mouthpieces deny their existence and classify those of us who call out their misdeeds as conspiracy theorists. [1] There’s a second …
