World War III Requires Conscription, Muses U.S. Army War College

World War III Requires Conscription, Muses U.S. Army War College

by | Sep 26, 2023 | ,

The most recent edition of the U.S. Army War College’s academic journal includes a highly disturbing essay on what lessons the U.S. military should take away from the continuing war in Ukraine. By far the most concerning and most relevant section for the average American citizen is a subsection entitled “Casualties, Replacements, and Reconstitutions” which, to cut right to the chase, directly states, “Large-scale combat operations troop requirements may well require a reconceptualization of the 1970s and 1980s volunteer force and a move toward partial conscription.” An Industrial War of...

Mearsheimer Predicts a Grim Future for Eastern Europe

by | Jul 11, 2023 | ,

The war in Ukraine has been going on for over a year and shows little signs of abating anytime soon. This is bad news for the people of Ukraine, who continue to suffer from Russian missile strikes and from their own government dragging men off the streets to send off to the front lines. It is also bad news for Americans, as our leaders wage what amounts to an openly acknowledged proxy war against the state with the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. If one listens to the mainstream “respectable” media and the army of pundits on social media, one could be excused for thinking that the...

How the U.S. Empire Invaded Your TV

How the U.S. Empire Invaded Your TV

by | Sep 21, 2021 | ,

I was a young lad of thirteen when the first Transformers film directed by Michael Bay premiered in theaters. I do not recall much about it other than Megan Fox working on Shia Labeouf's car, but apparently, this sultry façade was hiding a darker secret: the film was actually government-supported propaganda produced with extensive involvement from the military. This is just one of the many surprising and sometimes shocking things I learned from Christopher J. Coyne and Abigail R. Hall’s new book, Manufacturing Militarism: U.S. Government Propaganda in the War on Terror, which should be read...

Meet Rachel Levine, President Biden’s Disastrous Response to COVID

Meet Rachel Levine, President Biden’s Disastrous Response to COVID

by | Jan 27, 2021 | ,

On January 19 it was announced that Joe Biden planned to nominate Rachel Levine, the Pennsylvania (PA) secretary of health, for the position of assistant secretary of health in the Department of Health and Human Services. This is potentially good news for Pennsylvanians, who will finally be rid of her after having had to endure her disastrous covid lockdowns and restrictions for nearly a year, but is likely bad news for the rest of the country. News coverage of Levine’s nomination is focused almost entirely on the fact that if she is confirmed she will be the first transgender official to be...

Pennsylvanians Pushback Against Overbearing Coronavirus Lockdown

Pennsylvanians Pushback Against Overbearing Coronavirus Lockdown

by | May 19, 2020 |

As in the rest of the country, life in Pennsylvania has been greatly disturbed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the chaos that has resulted from the state government’s attempts to handle the situation. On March 16, Governor Wolf ordered that all “nonessential” businesses be closed for at least two weeks. They are still closed today, and as a result, 1.8 million Pennsylvanians have filed for unemployment. At the end of December of last year, the state estimated that there were roughly 6 million employed persons in Pennsylvania. If we set aside all the workers whose incomes have been reduced...

Israel Winner of the 2003 Iraq Oil War

Israel Winner of the 2003 Iraq Oil War

by

From the Foreword by Lawrence B. Wilkerson: “[T]he debate over whether oil was a principal reason for the 2003 invasion has waxed and waned, with one camp arguing that it absolutely was, while the other argues the precise opposite.” “Mr. Vogler, himself a former...
