Major reforms needed to solve US border crisis and security threats
“This is the system set up by a liberal Congress and judges. It is a well-known fact that President Obama’s administration established many of these unworkable policies, and Congress is steadfastly unwilling to change them. Every effort at reform has … Continue reading →

Silence and the Use of Force in International Law
Silence sign in Paris, France (Source: Flickr/Anders Printz) *Editor's Note: *This piece is crossposted on Lawfare and EJIL:*Talk*! States frequently take actions and make statements that implicate international law. But because they do not—and, indeed, could not—express a view on each such act or statement by all other states at all times, silence seems to be the norm, rather than the exception, in international relations. When states and other international actors do not express their views on a particular incident, issue or statement that implicates international law, what is ... more »

"The Coming Collapse of the U.S. Economic System Will be FAR WORSE Than You Think"
*"The Coming Collapse of the U.S. Economic System * *Will be FAR WORSE Than You Think"* by Amy S. "The global economy is in the worst crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s! Despite unparalleled affluence in the Western World, personal and corporate bankruptcies are soaring. So is consumer credit. Millions are losing jobs. More millions their homes. The United States national debt is measured in trillions of dollars! Headlines of credit fraud, identity theft and corruption fill the news. Events are spinning out of control.

Bank Run: Deutsche Bank Clients Are Pulling $1 Billion A Day
This has been going on for literally months and it will need a huge round of 'quantitative easing' to properly halt. That means that the EU must print money. Or perhaps the US fed which will certainly allow Trump to take it over. Do not think that this is going to catch the Trump administration by surprise. It is not and in fact it has been waited for as it allows many other changes to take place in terms of a well planned transition. Most likely DB's book is actually all right once you provide it liquidity over say five years to allow the book to properly age. What we are... more »
The CDC Tells Mothers to Stop Breastfeeding for Vaccine Efficacy
*[image: The CDC Tells Mothers to Stop Breastfeeding for Vaccine Efficacy]* What is described here is absurd. Natural immunity is our actual birthright and sustaining that as long as possible is possible through breast feeding. Meddling with all this is hugely counter productive.Yet they are trying of course. Postponing all immunization is certainly indicated to months past the end of breast feeding at least. The need to create markets has had a baleful effect of the science who are hardly asked to advise. .*The CDC Tells Mothers to Stop Breastfeeding for Vaccine Efficacy* *by Me... more »
FWP working with local, state officials on CWD response in Libby
This problem disease is ripping through the wild deer population and will surely spread. What we clearly lack is a proper understanding of the transmission vector. Recall bovine transmission of essentially the same type of disease was blamed of the human application of bovine protein powders to the feed supply which a moments thought makes unlikely. After all the disease needed a natural vector to even exist as a likely disease. Most likely cannibalism is an adjunct vector. We certainly need secure testing protocols and we need to understand the real vectors. So far it appe... more »
Lincoln and Trump: Two of a Kind?
Really. Both were and are engaged in a real Civil War between a Patriot population and an elite population whose supporters were never restricted geographically. Those clear enemies had to be stripped of influence and ultimately silenced in order for the Patriot class to resecure the integrity of the Republic. Both were then advised by trusted agents whose task was to do just that. If necessary, it does lead to the possibility of Martial Law. So far we are doing far better and the opposition has fared poorly. Recall though today that the problem is also global. Victory in the ... more »
