August 07, 2017 -* The assassination of President John F Kennedy in 1963 was a seminal event in modern American history. Yet 54 years on, the official US state continues covering up the shocking truth about the killing of one of its most popular leaders. A recent release of secret memos from the Central Intelligence Agency is a classic case of disinformation put out to further contaminate public knowledge about how and why the president was murdered in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. American news journal, Politico, headlined an article about the latest declassified information: “How the CIA came to doubt the official story of JFK’s murder”. From a casual glance, one might … Continue reading

As part of the New York Times’ recent celebration of the centennial of the communist takeover of Russia (“The Red Century”) the paper published an August 8 piece by one Fred Strebeigh, a Yale environmental studies and English lecturer, entitled “Lenin’s Eco-Warriors.”  The theme of the article is that, yes, the Russian communists tortured and mass murdered tens of millions of their own citizens, enslaved the rest in totalitarian hell, and completely ruined their economy; but  on the bright side they were precursors of and role models for the Sierra Club, Earth First!, Rachel Carson, and Al Gore. The Soviet … Continue reading

NeverTrumper Bill Kristol, a staunch Republican neoconservative who self-styled as a conservative for decades, particularly during the Bush II years, now calls for his fellow NeverTrumpers to “rebrand” as “liberals.” The significance of this can’t be overstated, for Kristol, a figure whose ideology is of a piece with that of the Republican Party of which his was an especially audible voice for much of this young century, has vindicated what some of us have been saying for quite some: The GOP is not, as it insists, “conservative.” It is neoconservative. And between neoconservatism and classical or traditional conservatism, there is … Continue reading

Back in March, I asked in my Taki’s Magazine column “Diversity Versus Debate”: Does the increasing campus hysteria and antirationality portend bad news for Silicon Valley? If students increasingly grow up in a culture in which the person with the most wounded feelings rules, will they be able to code emotionless computers as well as in the past? With the tech industry already immense, and soon to attempt to take over the auto industry with self-driving cars, those are trillion-dollar questions. We may have gotten a hint of an answer this week whether blue-state America’s worsening climate of science denialism will backfire on the … Continue reading

Milton Friedman always wanted to make the welfare state slightly less perverse. He wanted to make education slightly less statist. He proposed vouchers. Supposedly, this was going to lead to greater parental choice. The scheme was nuts from the beginning. No school district ever adopted it. It was fantasy economics, politically speaking. It was designed to make the fascist system slightly more efficient, slightly less overbearing. It was never a serious proposal to restore liberty in education. It always involved stealing money from taxpayers in order to transfer it to educational bureaucrats. There is no way to make that system … Continue reading

When one strips away the lies about central banks’ “inflation and employment” mandates and focuses on what they really do – which is to keep asset prices artificially supported and volatility suppressed – the motive behind virtually every central bank act becomes readily apparent: preserve (and increase, if possible) confidence in the market and economy, while saying anything and everything that helps achieve this, or in other words, lie but don’t get caught. Today, thanks to the FT, we have proof of precisely this, in what may be the first recorded instance of a central bank openly lying in an attempt to preserve market … Continue reading

The dangers of nuclear war are not an object of debate and analysis by the mainstream media. Public opinion is carefully misled. ” All options on the table”.  Nuclear weapons are portrayed as peace-making bombs. Did you know that tactical nuclear weapons or so-called mininukes with an explosive capacity between one third and six times a Hiroshima bomb are considered, according to scientific opinion, on contract to the Pentagon as “harmless to the surrounding civilian population because the explosion is underground”. It’s a lie. The US has a vast nuclear arsenal capable of blowing up the planet several times. The World … Continue reading

The Celebration of Diversity is a non-stop party, except when it comes to cars – which wax homogenous with each passing year. Bars of soap with different grilles, in different sizes and colors but as uniformly the same as the cheering masses at a Nuremburg partei rally. This extends even to what’s under the hood. It’s is a function of the regulatory template imposed by Washington, which designs cars nowadays. Not officially, but might as well be. For instance: There is a reason every new car has a rear end that looks like the mighty cheeks of a Budweiser Clydesdale  . . . or a person … Continue reading

The political culture is stifling. The controversy over the Dalmore memo does not give a full picture of how the left wing ‘progressive’ perspective is being pushed. There are numerous anti-bias, diversity, and inclusiveness training sessions. While I don’t think that some training on fighting bias is completely useless (e.g., for interviewers), the problem is that the perspective is unabashedly cultural marxist. We have a lecture series on race that features such noted scholars as Shaun King, Van Jones, and Linda Sarsour. (They would rather bite their limbs off than let people like Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams join the … Continue reading

Earlier this week, the Trump Department of Justice told the mayor of Chicago that it would cease funding grants to the Chicago Police Department that had been approved in the Obama administration because Chicago city officials were not cooperating with federal immigration officials. The DOJ contended that Chicago officials were contributing to lawlessness by refusing to inform the feds of the whereabouts of undocumented foreign-born people, thereby creating what the feds derisively call a “sanctuary city,” and Chicago officials have argued that their police officers and clerical folks are not obligated to work for the feds. Who is correct? Time … Continue reading
