"As A.J.P. Taylor once archly observed, leaders in the 19th century “fought ‘necessary’ wars and killed thousands; the idealists of the 20th century fought ‘just’ wars and killed millions.” Stephen M. Walt (professor of international relations at Harvard University)...
He's not just the father of American Fascism, German Nazism, Soviet Communism, Chinese Communism, World War II, the American empire and the Bush family fortune. Wilson was also responsible for the great "Spanish" flu epidemic of 1918 and 1919. I sure hope there's such...
I've long thought that if you want to see through the deceptive camouflage to the truest essence of the state, you need to study the Great War, renamed World War I after the 20-year intermission between it and World War War II. As you study the prelude to the war that...

When I was in middle school, the bus route would take us past a mysterious, old campus with an array of decaying brick buildings. I always thought it was dark and ominous looking. Little did I know, a century prior, hundreds of people had been committed and sterilized...
The wanton and reckless disregard for human life shown by the Manhattan Project boggles the mind. Despite my criticism of the Christopher Nolan Film "Oppenheimer," it did include the infamous fact that Manhattan Project scientists believed there was a chance that the...
Tom Woods and I recently discussed the Coronapocalypse and Questioning the Company Line: Critical Thinking in Hysterical Times: The Tom Woods Show Episode 2378: Contradictions and Stupidities of Public Health https://youtu.be/ez1hCYAOuHM
In 1947, Brigadier General SLA Marshall made an announcement that shocked the military world and changed combat forever. The startling news came when Marshall published "Men Against Fire: The Problem of Battle Command," a study that he conducted during his service as...
