"The Fierce Urgency Of Now..."
"They (central bankers) see it clearly. They know the banking system is absolutely on the verge of collapse. The massive amount of money printing to keep the fiat system afloat is just starting. EvG contends, “This is just a practice round. This is just more money at this point. The balance sheet of the Fed is going to go from around $4 trillion to $40 trillion. It is going to go to $100 trillion before this is over. So, right now, they are just practicing a bit because they are going to put the pedal down to the bottom very soon.

How Badly Will Trump Eviscerate The New York GOP? Really Badly, Worse Than Anyone Could Have Imagined
After Trump's big loss in Louisiana Saturday, congressional Republicans worried about self-reservation are even more worried than they were last week when they could persuade themselves it was just losing Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin's terrible personality. Now it's a simple equation: Big Democratic turnout + anti-Trump independents = Republican losses And that holds even in pretty red constituencies. New York State isn't entirely red and I want to look a little closer there because the Republicans can lose some more congressional seats there next year. In 2016, Trump won 9 of t... more »

The Hugely Important OPCW Scandal Keeps Unfolding. Here’s Why No One’s Talking About It
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is now hemorrhaging evidence that the US and its allies deceived the world once again about yet another military intervention, which should be a front-page story all over the world. Yet if you looked at American news media headlines you’d think the only thing that matters right now is indulging the childish fantasy that Donald Trump might somehow magically be removed from office via supermajority consensus in a majority-Republican Senate.
Anti-Semitism Bandwagon Resumes Against Corbyn
For a few months over the summer the British corporate media largely lost interest in smearing Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-Semite. Maybe they had begun to worry that the constant drum-beat of the past three years was deadening the public’s sensitivity to such claims.
The Roger Stone – Wikileaks – Russia Hoax
As ever, the Guardian wins the prize for the most tendentious reporting of Roger Stone’s conviction. This is not quite on the scale of its massive front page lie that Paul Manafort visited Julian Assange in the Ecuadorean Embassy. But it is a lie with precisely the same intent, to deceive the public into believing there were links between Wikileaks and the Trump campaign. There were no such links.

On Being Conservative
Michael Oakeshott is the originator of the term “conservative disposition.” He holds that the conservatives do not have a doctrine; they have a disposition. In his 1956 essay, “On Being Conservative,” he writes, “My theme is not a creed or a doctrine, but a disposition. To be conservative is to be disposed to think and behave in certain manners; it is to prefer certain kinds of conduct and certain conditions of human circumstances to others; it is to be disposed to make certain kinds of choices.” Here’s Oakeshott’s description of conservative disposition and choices: “To be conserva... more »

*Campus censorship: a tyranny of the minority* Most students are weary of the excesses of the social-justice movement. A new study by the Policy Exchange think-tank has revealed that fewer than half of university students in the UK consistently support freedom of speech.

Will Donald Trump's Strategy Bring Down Iran?
*Michael Rubin* *Security, Middle East* It's unlikely but possible. *Key point:* Iran is experiencing severe economic hardship. Iran and the United States are as close to direct conflict as they have been for three decades, since Operation Praying Mantis in 1988 which was, at the time, the largest surface naval engagement since World War II. A lot of ink has been spilled and oxygen expended discussing the matter, some of it good and some of it simplistic.

America's Allies Are More Important Than AI Or Cyber In A War
*Nathaniel L. Moir* *Security, * Technology cannot overcome human judgment and relationships. Google’s recent “Quantum Breakthrough” is great for American science but irrelevant for foreseeable conflict. It is ironic that “quantum supremacy” emerged in late October while America conceded its small but stabilizing position in Syria. The Syria decision is understandably construed as unwise because it relieves pressure on ISIS, forfeits a presence now occupied by Russia, and it provides Iran a corridor to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
