Thursday, October 20, 2016 (11 comments) SHARE Will the Election be Rigged?
The big news of the debate last night is that Trump may not accept the results of the election. It sounded like sore loserism, since presumably he won't challenge the election if he wins. But Trump was right to question the possible results of the election. Series: Politics (56 Articles, 193632 views)

U.K. Bank shuts down RT account, following on other "sanctions" against Russia for supposed war crimes no different than our own, except that they were invited in and we weren't.

Friday, April 22, 2016 (9 comments) SHARE Replacing American Liberty on the $20 bill
The replacing of president Jackson on the $20 bill is more than just a re-balancing of history. And it is also less than the populist change than it appears. It has as much to do with supplicating the pro-banker forces as appeasing the anti-racist ones. Series: Economic Reform (99 Articles, 312597 views), Sovereign Money (20 Articles, 83197 views)
