Yes today is the 4th of July in the once great United States of America.... It is called "Independence Day" but the truth be known is that the USA has never truly been independent or free... The Declaration Of Independence is to me still one of the greatest documents ever written, and Thomas Jefferson truly did want his new nation to be free of all tyranny and to be the true beacon of freedom for the entire planet...

People in foreign countries cannot imagine how far and how fast America has fallen. I seriously question whether or not America will celebrate Independence Day next year and again in 2016. We all know the Bilderberg Society would love us to celebrate Interdependence Day in 2016 or 2017 after we have merged with the European Union and with Canada and Mexico. No freedom for anyone. Just mindless rules and constant surveillance. And the rich will continue to rob the poor.

It doesn’t take a PhD in Sociology to conclude that Iraq was better off with Saddam Hussein than it is today. It’s not that Saddam was a great leader without blood on his hands. It’s just that what six US presidents have done to Iraq over the past 35 years has been much worse than […]

When I was a youngster we still had a school assembly at the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month and stood silent for a full minute to remember the fallen from World War One. Given the modern world has no time to waste even a second on the dead I would […]

The controversy over the "reinterpretation" of the Japanese constitution – which would allow the military to engage in "collective defense" overseas – is itself being misinterpreted. Instead of signaling a revival of Japanese nationalism, it is in reality a reassertion of Nippon’s subservience to the United States. Another misinterpretation is the typically lazy characterization by […]

Most of the 141 people reported killed today were militants. A policeman was wounded in a shooting.

Many have criticized me for constantly putting up articles at this blog that points to the doom and gloom in our world... But the facts are that we are indeed in a war for all humanity against a very evil force that seeks world domination and wants the eventual enslavement of us all....

It does seem that I am always apologizing these days for my absence..  I have had a lot of family and business issues to attend to the last while, and sadly I have had to neglect this blog... I am doing my best in catching up on what has been happening around the world when I can, and will continue to post articles WHEN I do have the time... Patience everyone...Yes, I have been watching what has been happening in Israel since the "bodies" of the three Israeli teens has been found....

by KenEspecially with a holiday weekend coming up, some of us may have turned our thoughts to getting some reading done.Summer reading lists have become a publishing tradition, based on the apparent assumption that people who don't read many books the rest of the year suddenly turn bookworm in summer, or perhaps that summer readers are looking for a different kind of reading. Depending on who's doing the listing, I sometimes give a quick glance.

This July 4, the fireworks won’t just be in celebration of Independence Day. There will undoubtedly be fireworks in cities throughout the Middle East, as the region, engulfed in violence, further explodes. The US military and US taxdollars are already deeply entangled in Middle Easterners’ lives (and deaths), and President Obama is under pressure to get further involved in the wars in Iraq and Syria. But what advice would our nation’s founders give the 44th president this July 4?

I'm a huge Pope Francis fan. I've never been into religion but I've had a great feeling about this guy as soon as he became Pope. I've always said I wished there would be one truly great president-- instead of all the mediocre crap-- before I die. That's why I pray that Elizabeth Warren actually goes for it at some time. The office seeks the man (or woman), not-- ideally-- the other way round.
