Come! Enter a banquet hall of the early Middle Ages and sit down to enjoy some dinner. At one end of the table is a whole spit-roasted pig, which seems to be looking at you funny. At the other end are a few game birds, their feathers still intact. Your dining companions sniff at the platters and snort in approval. The host carves up the meat and passes it down. Each man holds a knife (his only utensil) in one hand and grabs a piece of meat with his other, stuffing it in his face and chewing with his mouth … Continue reading →

Anyone who pays attention to American “news” can see how “news” is used to control our perceptions in order to ensure public acceptance of the Oligarchy’s agendas. For example, Bernie Sanders just won six of seven primaries, in some cases by as much as 70 and 82 percent of the vote, but Sanders’ victories went largely unreported. The reason is obvious. The Oligarchy doesn’t want any sign of Sanders gaining momentum that could threaten Hillary’s lead for the Democratic nomination. Here is FAIR’s take on the media’s ignoring of Sanders’ victories. We can observe the same media non-performance in the … Continue reading →

Among the replacement religions for a weakened Christianity in the West, the most insidious may be the worship of “democracy.“  What makes this form of idolatry (note the neoconservative journalist Norman Podhoretz once described himself as an “idolater of democracy”) particularly hard to stop is that it rages among supposed spokesmen for the Right. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan spoke frequently in public about their devotion to what they thought were universally exportable democratic ideals. Indeed President Reagan, in a widely publicized address before the English Parliament on June 8, 1982, declared it the sacred duty of the two leading … Continue reading →

The FBI investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s failure to protect state secrets contained in her emails has entered its penultimate phase, and it is a dangerous one for her and her aides. Federal law enforcement sources have let it be known that federal prosecutors and the FBI have completed their examination of raw data in the case. After the FBI acquires raw data — for example, the nature and number of the state secrets in the emails Clinton failed to protect or the regular, consistent, systematic nature of that failure — prosecutors and agents proceed to draw … Continue reading →

Thanks to the popularity of shows like ER and Grey’s Anatomy, you probably know a handful of medical terms. For instance, stat, or “at once,” CCs (cubic centimeters), and Code Blue (a patient needs resuscitation). But how about Code Brown? Or incarceritis? Or turfing? In his book The Secret Language of Doctors, emergency room physician Dr. Brian Goldman takes a look at hundreds of such slang terms. Here we explore 17 of them (and fair warning, some of these you might be better off not knowing). 1. THE BUNKER The bunker is where medical residents meet to hand over patients, as well as, according to Goldman, where they often … Continue reading →

It seems that most people have the view that the U.S. government isn’t doing enough to prevent Islamic extremist terrorist attacks, such as the one which occurred in Brussels. The government stenographers of the mainstream media, cable news and talk radio make sure that the only valid angle to the discussion is whatever promotes expanded U.S. government powers, better military strategy, better “intelligence,” and so on. The U.S. Presidential candidates declare, “We will defeat radical Islamic terrorism, and defeat ISIS” with much confidence. That is, increase and intensify the same failed interventionist policies that got us here in the first … Continue reading →
