The acceleration of the “emergency paradigm” since 2020 has a simple yet widely disavowed purpose: to conceal socioeconomic collapse. Davos is the mouthpiece of the elites’ increasingly panicky reactions to unmanageable systemic contradictions. They are now hiding behind lies like nervous children.

Our Task in Post-Roe America. In 1974, Justice Harry Blackmun, the author of the Roe v. Wade decision, said in a television interview that Roe “will be regarded as one of the worst mistakes in the court's history or one of its great decisions.” Take a moment to honor the pro-life heroes.

One of the subtexts to the war in the Ukraine is the fact that the West has been wrong about every aspect of the conflict. None of the predictions about the fighting have been correct. The blame lies at the feet of the neoconservatives running foreign policy for the Global American Empire.

Whatever the panic, girls are always victims. The surge in cases of gender dysphoria have much in common with Satanic abuse panics and recovered memory theory. Sibyl created a fashion for a diagnosis of MPD (now known as dissociative identity disorder). It later turned out to be a crock.

Was U.S. domination during the American Century good for the United States? Was it good for the world? When one takes a long, hard look at U.S. foreign policy after 1945, it’s clear that the United States caused an enormous amount of suffering that a more restrained approach would have avoided.

What most people are missing is that the western central banking system has always known that the petrodollar would fail. The neoliberal design is to replace the petrodollar with a “carbon dollar” system. They’re employing austerity in their target nations by raising food and energy prices.
