2026-09-29

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary For many years and by many administrations, Americans have been told that endless overseas interventions, ballooning military budgets, and an ever-expanding intelligence apparatus are the price of freedom, security and global leadership. However, what they were not told is that this approach has hollowed out the nation’s institutions, eroded the civil liberties of its own people, and placed it on...

Why Switzerland must tie its politicians’ hands On the 27th of September, Swiss voters will decide on the popular initiative “Safeguarding Swiss Neutrality.” The proposal would insert a new article into the Federal Constitution declaring Swiss neutrality perpetual and armed.

Hans-Hermann Hoppe: “The State is the greatest parasite in history”

2026-09-03

2026-09-03

I have long admired Hans-Hermann Hoppe and closely followed his work for over a decade, as in my view, his is one of the most uncompromising, intellectually courageous and rigorous voices in the Austrian tradition. A few days ago I came across a wide-ranging conversation he gave on the Portuguese podcast CdK and at a time when Western societies appear increasingly trapped in cycles of debt, demographic decline, geopolitical overreach and...

I have been following the work and writings of my good friend Jeff Deist for many years, as I’ve always found his insights extremely illuminating. Just a few days ago, I had the pleasure of coming across one of his most recent speeches and I found every word of it truly compelling and remarkably timely. In this remarkable speech, Jeff takes what initially appears to be a straightforward economic question and turns it into something much broader:...

by

2026-08-04

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary For decades, but especially over the last one, Europeans have been told to embrace multiculturalism as a net positive for society and for the economy. They were told to open their hearts and their doors to newcomers and to give them a chance to culturally enrich their nations. Of course, they weren’t actually given a choice in the matter, as their leaders opened the doors anyway, without asking...

Freedom of speech dying a slow death in Europe

2026-07-21

by

2026-07-21

For decades, Western democracies operated under a comfortable consensus: censorship was a blunt instrument reserved for authoritarian regimes, while the “free world” relied on open debate, robust dissent, and constitutional safeguards. This sentiment allowed Western leaders to feel superior over the rest of the world, to lecture other countries on democratic principles and on “open society” ideas and in some cases to invade and bomb them too, to...

Thomas Massie: “War, Israel & Debt Are Destroying America”

by

2026-07-07

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary Anyone who reads my work or knows me personally is well aware of my deep-seated skepticism toward the political class as a whole. Whether they wear a red tie or a blue one, whether they claim to be representing the Left or the Right, the underlying hunger for power, the hubris and the hypocrisy remain entirely the same. For a long time, Ron Paul was the lone exception to this rule, and his...

2026-06-15

Summary by Matt Morgan, www.thedailybell.com Grass argues the Western world is in a deliberate “permanent emergency” where governments cycle through crises (COVID, war, energy, pandemics) to justify digital IDs, central bank digital currencies, and the stripping of liberty, predicting war, famine, and civil war across roughly 15 Western countries within five years. He frames central banking as the “core element of evil,” makes explicit claims...

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary The interview that follows offers a most necessary and timely opportunity for self-reflection that the US and Europe so desperately need at this critical moment.

by

2026-05-23

The defeat of seven-term Congressman Thomas Massie in Kentucky’s Fourth District primary on May 19, 2026, marked a watershed moment in the long history of corporate and special-interest distortion of US elections. Everyone has known for a very long time that money swings elections, but it is rare to see an example so flagrant and so provocative. This particular election made a lot of Americans and international observers realize that they are...

Scott Horton: Why US foreign policy backfires 

2026-05-20

by

2026-05-20

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary American foreign policy and the nation’s geopolitical strategy have slowly but surely undergone a radical transformation. War is no longer seen as an absolute last resort reserved for genuine self-defense scenarios or as a response to clear and present danger to US citizens. It has been rebranded into a permanent managerial exercise and it has become part of everyday life. And even though...

The Permanent Emergency

How the West traded liberty for the illusion of security Unlike the centuries that came before it, full of great and truly important ideological and philosophical clashes, full of historical shifts in the trajectory of Western thought, values identity and culture, the story of our time will most likely not feature any grand battles of ideas or any defining crescendos that will captivate the imagination and inspire future students of history. It...

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary The following interview offers a fascinating look back at the past conflicts that the US has been involved in, but also a very chilling look ahead, especially given the recent developments in the Iran war. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson’s military and diplomatic record provides a uniquely sound foundation for his assessment of current American geopolitical standing. Having served 31 years in the US...

Why gold’s recent “silence” is a flashing buy signal

2026-04-02

by

2026-04-02

The recent “calm” in the gold market has left many observers, and especially the precious metal’s critics, questioning whether the “safe-haven” thesis still stands or whether its time has passed. In the shadow of the ongoing Middle East conflict and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the yellow metal failed to deliver the immediate, parabolic spike that many assumed should accompany a global energy crisis. Instead, we witnessed the opposite,...

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary At a time when it takes great courage, and a great appetite for risk, to speak one’s mind freely about the most important issue in the world right now, it sure is reassuring to see that there important voices that still have what it takes to do so.

General Erich Vad: Make Europe Relevant Again

2026-03-17

by

2026-03-17

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary One of the most important dynamics of the war in Ukraine is the growing divide between the political aims of the powers that be and the will of the people who are not directly participating in said war, but are still being forced to pay for it. It is becoming increasingly obvious, and increasingly problematic for those in charge, that the narrative that has been force fed to Europeans to justify...

Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary Few voices in the European debate on the war in Ukraine can claim to combine actual military experience with sound arguments for diplomatic pragmatism and persistent calls for an end to the conflict. General Harald Kujat stands out even among those precious few. He is a retired four-star general of the German Air Force, he served as Inspector General of the Bundeswehr from 2000 to 2002, the...
