America’s Reckoning With Reality
Americans want to know what is happening to their country.
Douglas Macgregor
The major parties’ national conventions paper over the facts of the Uniparty’s anti-American agenda.
The Republican and Democratic National Conventions, always heavy on glamor and light on substance, are over. It’s time to move beyond sloganeering and address reality.
In the United States, the price of food is up 21 percent in three years. Thirty-year mortgage rates were 3.7 percent; they are now 7 percent. Rents are skyrocketing, car loan delinquencies are rising and, last year, there were at least 150,000 reports of American children going missing in what is becoming a child-trafficking emergency.
Millions of Americans think that our society is experiencing a moral collapse. Divorce is widespread, single parents struggle to raise children, drug abuse is rampant, suicide rates are high, and the rule of law is collapsing across the country.
Is it really a surprise that Americans doubt their institutions, their courts, even the leadership of their own armed forces? Americans feel disconnected from their collective, national identity. Shamed into isolation and self-hatred under the oppressive weight of mass-media, pop-culture, and official deceit, Americans feel helpless to stop their freefall into nihilism—the belief in nothing, not justice or beauty, no divine influence, just nothing.
Americans feel like their homeland is being transformed into a wasteland. More and more Americans think that taxation without representation is the norm in all 50 states, not just in DC. Voting for one or another of the major parties, Democrats or Republicans, does little to arrest the nation’s descent into chaos.
The Fed Returns to Liquidity. Will It Elect Kamala?
To be honest, nothing remains of the United States of America. There is
nothing here but a Sodom and Gomorrah Tower of Babel in which
people live inside a narrative of lies.
Paul Craig Roberts
In previous years I regularly reported on the monthly jobs reports. I explained that most of the jobs gains were in lowly paid service jobs, that many and even most of the jobs were part time, and that the jobs numbers were not the same as employment numbers as many of the newly employed held two of the new part time jobs in order to make ends meet. I pointed out that none, absolutely none, of the “better jobs” promised to the manufacturing work force whose jobs were offshored ever appeared.
I also pointed out that the inflation numbers were a hoax and gave the reasons why, and I pointed out that the claimed jobs gains were always later quietly adjusted to lower numbers.
Nothing has changed. In fact, it has gotten worse. The US Department of Labor just admitted that it overestimated the jobs gain from March 2023 through March 2024 by 818,000 jobs that never existed.
If you will remember, these non-existent jobs were part of the inflation hype that relied on “strong employment growth” to keep interest rates high. Some readers might remember that I pointed out that the inflation was due to the Covid lockdowns that destroyed businesses, supply chains, and that prices went up because of shortages, not because of inflation.
But in America truth no longer matters. The narrative, not truth, is in control, and the narrative was that a hot job market driven by 818,000 non-existent jobs was driving inflation.
Crackdown on Ukraine’s largest church is ‘full-fledged Satanism’ – Medvedev

Vladimir Zelensky and his Western backers are responsible for the suppression, the former Russian president has said.
Kiev’s Western backers are supporting its “satanic” crackdown on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed on Friday.
On Tuesday, the Ukrainian parliament passed a law that prohibits “Russia-linked” religious organizations. The self-governed UOC, which has historical and spiritual ties with the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), is understood to be the primary target of the legislation. Medvedev, who serves as deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, said he holds Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky accountable for the crackdown.
Pyotr Poroshenko, Zelensky’s predecessor, caused a major religious schism in Ukraine when he orchestrated the creation of the so-called Orthodox Church of Ukraine in late 2018 as part of his failed reelection campaign, Medvedev pointed out. Under Zelensky, however, “the destruction of the Orthodox faith in Ukraine and the persecution of Christians for their faith started,” culminating in the new law, the former Russian leader argued.
What Happened to Countries that Invaded Russia Throughout History
Russia's first king, Alexander Nevsky, halted the advance of the German
Teutonic Order in 1242, destroying them in the 'Battle on the Ice'.
Editor thepeoplesvoice.org
America told Ukraine to invade the Russian city of Kursk, and across the Russian border the Ukrainians and American mercenaries went, some twenty to thirty miles into Russia to take Russian territory and kill Russian civilians. Although they're only a few miles from the border and Ukraine, they may as well be a thousand miles from home. Let's examine what happened to countries that invaded Russia throughout history.
In the mid 13th century Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, sent his son Jochi with 100,000, Mongol warriors to conquer the lands of what is now Siberia, Central Russia, and Eastern Europe. The Mongols defeated the small poorly prepared forces of the Russian princes, who prior to the formation of the Russian state were at war with each other.
In 1237, the Mongols, led by Batu Khan, again invaded Kievan Rus’ looting and burning all the main Russian cities: Ryazan’, Kolomna, Moscow, Vladimir, and Tver. The invasion continued until 1242. It took 100 years for Russia to recover from the damage done by Batu Khan.
In 1243, Yaroslav II of Vladimir was the first Russian prince to receive permission to rule Russia only after swearing his allegiance to Batu Khan. The Yaroslav II rule of the Russian state began 250 years before America was discovered by Colombus in 1492, and 534 years before America would declare its independence from great Briton in 1776.
The Western World Has Succumbed to Tyranny
"I Was Arrested at Heathrow Airport as a “Terrorist” for My Journalism
August 20, 2024. My name is Richard Thomas Medhurst. I am an
internationally accredited journalist from the United Kingdom."
Paul Craig Roberts
We can add Richard Medhurst to Tulsi Gabbard, Scott Ritter, Amb. Craig Murray, Julian Assange, and many others who are harassed, arrested, imprisoned by police state authorities in the US, UK, EU, and Canada for practicing the disappearing profession of journalism. When Richard Medhurst can be arrested in a London airport for “expressing an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization,” we know freedom is dead and journalism no longer exists. All that Western journalists are permitted to do today is to support the official lies in the official narratives that are used to construct the false reality in which we live.
We no longer have the BBC, the New York Times, the London Times, ABC, NBC, CBS to hold government accountable. What we have are propaganda ministries that support official narratives. The job of the Western media is to lie to the people in behalf of the establishment that rules them.
As the growing intimidation of alternative media makes clear, the ability to express truth is rapidly disappearing in the Western world. Soon we will be locked into The Matrix, only there will be no superhuman opposition.
It has been years since we could believe one word that we hear from the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, CNN, Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC, the London Times, Telegraph, The Guardian, or the main European media sources.
The notion that the West is free is a joke. When there is no free expression there is only tyranny. And that is what the Western world is. A tyranny.
Why the Genocide Continues
Why does the killing never end?
By David Swanson
According to the New York Times, U.S. officials say there’s no excuse, on the warmakers’ own terms, for the genocide they are arming:
“Israel has achieved all that it can militarily in Gaza, according to senior American officials, who say continued bombings are only increasing risks to civilians while the possibility of further weakening Hamas has diminished. . . . William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director, is due in Qatar on Thursday. Brett McGurk, President Biden’s Middle East coordinator, has headed to Egypt and Qatar. Amos Hochstein, a senior White House adviser, landed in Lebanon. One of the messages the officials are expected to deliver is that there is little more Israel can accomplish against Hamas.”
But there’s another message they’re delivering:
the weapons will never stop flowing from the United States to Israel.
According to opinion polls, the majority of U.S. voters want the weapons shipments to stop now and have wanted that for some time.
But there’s another message many of them are delivering:
OMG it’s so awesome how Kamala tells peace advocates to shut up, she and Walz bring joy to my life like like like like yeah you know?
The First Defeat of the Central Powers in the Great War: The 1914 Battle of Cer
The Serbian army in the Battle of Cer lost 260 officers and
around 16.000 non-commissioned officers and soldiers.
by Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirovic
It passed more than the 100th anniversary of the end of the Great War in 1914−1918. Proportionally, in the war, Serbia suffered mostly among all countries involved in the conflict as it lost ¼ of its population followed by 50% of industrial destruction. Furthermore, the first war crimes or even the genocide occurred on the territory of Serbia. Still, on the other hand, the first Allied victory on the battlefield against the Central Powers also happened in Serbia – the 1914 Battle of Cer in the Machva District with the administrative center of Shabac. Before and during the Great War, the town of Shabac and the district of Machva have been bordering Bosnia-Herzegovina, at that time Austria- Hungary, on the Drina River being situated in the north-western part of the Kingdom of Serbia). Before the war, the area of Machva District was developed in both industrial and cultural aspects, with many features according to the Central European pattern (for instance, the first piano in Serbia appeared in the town of Shabac in the 19th century).
However, in the district, everything changed when the Great War broke out with Austro- Hungarian military aggression on the Kingdom of Serbia in August 1914. The town of Shabac fell into the hands of the Dual Monarchy on August 12th, 1914. From August 16th to August 20th, 1914 Cer Mt. nearby the town of Shabac became the place where the first battle has been fought in the Great War against the Central Powers. The operations of the Austro-Hungarian-Balkan troops started on August 12th, 1914 intending to crush Serbian resistance and occupy Serbia with the “blitzkrieg” to ensure overland links with the Ottoman Empire. The Austro-Hungarian General Oscar Potiorek decided to use the Fifth Army to attack Serbia, without waiting for the Sixth Army to be ready for these operations. However, the operation was to start, and even to end, before the Second Army of Austria-Hungary could move from the Sirmium (Srem) region (today in Serbia), headed to Galicia.
The Digital Revolution Is Satan’s Master Weapon
There is no way off this road to pure Hell and the destruction of mankind.
Paul Craig Roberts
Readers know that I am death on the digital revolution. I regard it as an equivalent disaster to the creation of nuclear weapons. Both can, and most likely will, destroy our lives, nuclear weapons by physically destroying us, and the digital revolution by destroying our freedom.
The digital revolution is the foundation, already in place, for the police state, and it will be a total police state far worse than the one in George Orwell’s 1984. The fact that the nerds who came up with the digital revolution were too stupid to see the consequences indicates that tech people are really not very smart. Whenever man plays God disaster results.
For the last three days I have been experiencing digital Hell. The Internet has been down for three days and there is no information. The company provides such minimum customer service that it has been difficult even to reach a robot. You have to leave a number for a call back as “all our representatives are busy helping other customers.” When the call comes you learn that there is an outage in a large area and given an estimated repair time. They put you on a message list for cell phone texts. The repair time estimates lengthened four times from August 13 into August 14 and have now ceased. The morning of the 14th a text informed me that my service was restored. It wasn’t. I called the service provider who, after a call back, eventually was able to confirm that the service was not restored.
The Unspeakable, The Unthinkable and The Imperative to Increase Consciousness
David T. Ratcliffe | The Imperative To Increase Consciousness | In recent years, Katherine Watt has worked with Sasha Latypova, an ex-pharma/biotech professional with 25 years experience in clinical trials, clinical technologies, and regulatory approvals. She owned/managed several contract research organizations, worked for 60+ pharma companies worldwide, and interacted with FDA as part of a scientific industry consortium on improving cardiac safety assessments in clinical trials.
On 13 December 2022 Watt and Latypova participated in a zoom call with Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) scheduled by Johnson’s staffers, and subsequently worked up this memo upon his request: IN RE: Evidence of Covid-19 Regulatory Failures, Criminal Wrongdoing and Attempts to Avoid Liability by Senior Executive Service Officials in Multiple Federal Agencies. The opening paragraphs [emphasis added] state:
💬 Americans were misled about all Covid-19 “countermeasures,” including those products marketed as “vaccines.” Covid policy was managed by the National Security Council (NSC) acting on war footing and countermeasures were contracted for by the Department of Defense (DoD) and Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) without any effective regulatory oversight at any stage along the process. The activities passing as “regulatory processes” appear to have been fraudulent attempts to create color of law and avoid liability for what were clearly criminal acts. These multiple overlapping and mutually reinforcing violations of federal law have imposed serious harms on the American people, including severe injury and death.
The Looming Crisis: How Oil Addiction and Agricultural Collapse Threaten Global Food Security
The implications of this situation are stark.
by Tracy Turner
The Insidious, Looming Crisis of Starvation: A Convergence of Agricultural Decline, Resource Depletion, and Environmental Catastrophe
Some people fear spiders or snakes, Ebola or Covid, but the terrifying truth that few wish to confront is the looming specter of hidden, impending starvation—a fate increasingly inevitable for a world unable to address its unsustainable trajectory.
Historical Context of Agriculture
The history of agriculture began around 9500 BC in the Levant, where early humans first cultivated essential crops like emmer wheat and hulled barley. These foundational practices facilitated the rise of complex societies. By 8000 BC, agriculture had already flourished along the Nile, and by 6200 BC in China, the cultivation of rice marked a significant advancement in agricultural development. This transition from nomadic hunting and gathering to settled farming laid the groundwork for the growth of human civilization (1)(2)(3).
