Where do you stand on economics Caitlin? Are you an MMT-er? Thanks for all your writings, which are usually excellent. Watching the news in the UK drives me crazy as it's so full of lies - your blog is my antidote.

Capitalism has brought us to the brink of environmental collapse on multiple fronts. US empire-building has brought us to the brink of nuclear war on multiple fronts. But if you listen to the mainstream media both these systems are working fine and only lunatics want to change them.

Fighting Propaganda Is A Matter Of Survival

These stories about the space militarization race aren't getting the attention the much more entertaining UFO stories are getting, but it seems likely that those who are responsible for moving the war machinery around are paying a lot more attention to the former than the latter. The US Space Force took its first steps toward becoming a reality in 2017, the same year these mainstream UFO stories started coming out, with the explicit purpose of countering Russia and China.

Funny How The UFO Narrative Coincides With The Race To Weaponize Space

Capitol Hill is an assisted living facility for psychopaths. It's where people who receive sexual gratification from dropping military explosives on civilians go to wait for the sweet embrace of death. The whole place smells like night terrors and urine.

Capitol Hill Is An Assisted Living Facility For Psychopaths

One of the biggest problems with the urgent push for “media literacy” we’ve been seeing in the west these last few years is that everyone’s being taught about liberal bias and conservative bias in media, but they’re not being taught about US empire bias.

We’re Taught About Liberal And Conservative Bias In Media, But Not US Empire Bias

Something in us intuits that there must be something more to this thing than we're seeing. We know there are no leprechauns or unicorns hiding in the shadows, but we sense that there must be something magical happening here that's evading our perception. It can't just be the dull humdrum of office drama and stress and horniness and Netflix and food and family that consumes our waking attention from day to day.

But what if that's a mistake? What if that assumption is based on an erroneous premise?

Searching For Bigfoot

I've been seeing a few people saying they're not sure what I'm about politically. As a reader-supported writer I try to be as transparent about such things as possible to let any would-be patrons know what they're getting into, so here's my position on a bunch of different issues if anyone's curious.

Where I Stand, Issue By Issue

This is a major reason behind the freakish sycophancy and empire loyalism we see in the mainstream press. It's not just the obscenely wealthy owners of the mass media who are protecting their class interests, it's the reporters, editors and pundits as well.

Mainstream Journalists Are Cloistered Ivy League-Educated Trust Fund Kids

This is how our nation is being marched toward consenting to a military confrontation of unimaginable horror without Australians noticing that something wildly insane is happening. They are being Pied Pipered over a cliff by a mainstream press staffed entirely with bootlicking empire apologists who will do anything to grease the gears of the most destructive war machine on this planet.

Disrupt The Culture Wars

Ask an anti-imperialist what's the worst thing Trump did and they'll talk about real things like Yemen, Venezuela, Soleimani, Assange, the JCPOA, and the new cold war. Ask a Democrat what's the worst thing Trump did and they'll talk about pretend nonsense like Russian collusion and insurrection.
The US government is doing literally hundreds of things right now as you read this that are more harmful and concerning than a pretend "insurrection" that never at any time had a higher than zero percent chance of succeeding, but that's the issue liberals have been shrieking about for the last two and a half years.

Democrats Don't Care About Trump's Real Crimes

If people really understood just how much suffering and destruction is unleashed by US foreign policy, they'd stop making such a big deal about the minor differences between two political parties who always come together to support the most destructive US foreign policy decisions.

The human suffering caused by the minor differences in domestic policy between Democrats and Republicans is dwarfed by the suffering caused by foreign policy bipartisanship by orders of magnitude. The ways they are the same are vastly more significant than the ways in which they differ.
