The Coup, The Attack, And The Power-Grab

Three major publications are out this week that suggest we should be ready for a running coup, a planned terror attack and the subsequent power grab by Bannon and Trump. These publications are the Canberra Times out of Australia, CNN online, and The New Yorker. Not exactly radical rags. Let’s begin with the Canberra Times: […]

The Kids Are Alt-Right

The Kids Are Alt-Right

Ok, I picked this “meme” up off Twitter and it was too good to pass up; clearly a play on The Who’s hit “The Kid’s Are All Right”. It was an anthem for a generation of British “Mods”. “Alt-Right”…Seriously, how the fuck are these spawn allowed to meddle in White House affairs? Won’t President Bannon […]

“Tex” Tackles The Election Debacle

With the election hangover slowly fading, my old friend and research associate “Tex” has weighed in on the failure of the Democratic Party establishment, which had swung to the right under Clinton management: ——————————— In 1992 the campaign slogan of the Bill Clinton campaign was: “It’s the economy, stupid.” That slogan and that tactic worked […]

Movie “A Face In The Crowd” Predicted Trump in 1957

Here we are just weeks away from the rottenest election in recent history, stuck between P.T. Barnum and the corrupt corporate Queen of Chaos. Never in my life have I been so disillusioned with American politics, to the point where I just don’t believe in the system any more. However, we have to take our […]

The European Union Was Built By The CIA

Thursday June 23 is the day that the United Kingdom will vote to stay in or leave the European Union, and things are heating up. Financial markets are trembling and several British commentators I have listened to say it is possible that if the vote goes to leave the EU (called “Brexit”) that it may […]

Trump Mafia Threatens Delegates, Then Blows It In Colorado

Trump Mafia Threatens Delegates, Then Blows It In Colorado

The New Yorker has a stunning article about the lengths the Trump Mafia is going to insure victory, and I am wondering if this kind of threat is illegal. Writer Evan Osnos is making a comparison to the old “dead- horse-head-in-the-bed” scene from “The Godfather”: (Excerpt & link) “More than three months before any ballots […]

Zika Virus, Birth Defects, And Farm Chemicals In Washington State

Most readers are aware of the dire warnings about the Zika Virus. Brazil, a country that is bucking the petrodollar and aligning with Russia and China economically, appears to be ground zero. The flu-like virus has been linked to Microcephaly, a birth defect that causes brain damage and irregular head shape in affected newborn children. […]

RSS Northwest Research & Covert Book Report

  • 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 […]
