April 30, the date of this post is the anniversary of the fall of Saigon, signaling an end to the war in Vietnam.

Buckle your seat belt and get ready for one of the most important books you may read this year. F. William Engdahl is a prolific writer on all things geo-political, and “The Lost Hegemon – Whom The Gods Would Destroy” is a puzzle piece in his stable of books that explains a tremendous amount of […]

Did Navy Carrier Group Disobey Trump?

Did Navy Carrier Group Disobey Trump?

Imagine this: Tensions are high between the U.S. and a nuclear-armed rogue nation. The President lays down some serious smack about that country, threatening to destabilize an entire region of the world and possibly start a nuclear war. He positions a powerful aircraft carrier group in nearby waters to prepare for a strike if necessary… […]

“Killing Kennedy’s”

“Killing Kennedy’s”

Time to step away from the nightmare that is “Mein Trumpf”, and revisit the road-map to understanding how capital crime operates in the United States. That would be through a study of the Kennedy assassination, or assassinations, plural. In a near-masterpiece summary (all versions are flawed) Abel Cohen has written an article that pretty much […]

CIA Built Tunnels That Were Bombed In Afghanistan

Hat tip to Edward Snowden on his Twitter feed; he points out that the tunnels that were just bombed in Afghanistan were built by the CIA in the 1980’s: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/11/magazine/lost-at-tora-bora.html?_r=0 “The first time bin Laden had seen the Tora Bora caves, he had been a young mujahedeen fighter and a recent university graduate with a […]

Trump, Syria and Gas Thread – UPDATES

Trump, Syria and Gas Thread – UPDATES

Well, the inevitable has happened, Trump has launched some 59 cruise missiles to a nearly empty airbase in Syria. This at a time when his administration had hit an all-time low ratings approval. As expected, the corporate/state controlled U.S. media is fawning all over Mein Trumpf. CIANN, MSDNC and Faux News bow to the warrior […]

The CIA, FBI, Two Governors and Donald Trump Go Into A Casino…

The CIA, FBI, Two Governors and Donald Trump Go Into A Casino…

The remote island of Saipan has long been a target for abusive labor practices, but a recent raid on a major gambling establishment has revealed a power structure that goes straight to the top of the U.S. government. Many will remember the scandal that lobbyist Jack Abramoff and Republican Tom Delay were swept up in […]

  • Review: “Continental Reckoning” By Elliot West
    I learned quite a bit in reading this huge book, which probably was meant for college classes. Indeed, the author of “Continental Reckoning”, Elliot West, is a Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Arkansas. This book should be in an Economic or Law history class, and probably is. Author Elliot West clearly outlines […]
  • All About Ken Kesey: Two Reviews
    “Spit In The Ocean #7 – All about Kesey” is an eclectic collection of real tales about legendary Oregon writer Ken Kesey. Kesey is best known for writing “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” (mental institutions) and “Sometimes A Great Notion” (an Oregon logging family). Both books were actually written in California, and both are […]
  • Review: “Acid Dreams” By Lee & Shlain
    I found “Acid Dreams; The Complete History Of LSD: The CIA, The Sixties, And Beyond” a pretty good summary of the LSD experience, from the use of the drug in interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies, to the use of such drugs to destabilize the revolutionary youth movement. At nearly 300 pages (my copy), it […]
  • Did Jack Scott “Radicalize” The NBA’s Bill Walton?
    Did Jack Scott Radicalize NBA Star Bill Walton? Sadly, we have to note that Bill Walton (and Jack Scott) are no longer living. Walton was a hero for many where I grew up in Portland, Oregon. He was the star of an NBA championship, which I pretty much didn’t care about. Later, Walton was doing […]
  • Review: Gold Warriors – America’s Secret Recovery Of Yamashita’s Gold
    This book, “Gold Warriors”, by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave is really, really good. It can be expensive because it is out of print, but I bought it long ago and it has been waiting in my “to read” pile. Affordable copies can still be found, I ordered one for a friend and apparently it is […]
