Monday, May 18, 2015Mega-Psycho; When The Most Successful, Smartest Psychopaths Go Bigger-- Think Pyramids The smartest psychopaths almost never get caught, and when they do, they are often so ensconced behind the barriers of wealth, power and influence that they are untouchable-- too big for jail. Perhaps they are so big that their actions are not even seen as psychopathic. They are often rewarded and honored, their ruses are so effective.

Sunday, August 23, 2020Stop Supporting Right Wing Messaging and thus, Strategies I'm writing this article to explain to readers what my thinking is. OpEdNews has been and will continue to be a very open site that allows a lot of room for discussion and questions. But I'm taking a top-down approach and cracking down on right wing rooted conspiracy theories and the very specific language associated with them.

Thursday, February 9, 2012Right Wing Israeli Leaders Meddling in US Politics, Targeting Democrats, Obama? We know that AIPAC meddles in US policy, exerting huge influence on congress. I have no doubt that any member of congress who attacks US policy of blindly supporting Israel will be targeted to be primaried. Could it get any worse? Maybe it can. Maybe Israeli leaders are literally taking actions, talking war, operating a playbook with the intention of influencing the 2012 presidential elections.
