Five words: "The U.S. Empire Is Ending" We will eventually, maybe, perhaps, nothing guaranteed, get over COVID-19. It will pass, or we will pass, or we may even learn to live with it. Whichever one of those outcomes (they are not options) occurs, we can do that. No problem. Well, nothing we can't handle. What... Continue Reading →
Are You an Anti-China Trump’s Chump?
So you still think that the coronavirus associated with COVID-19 originated in China? You think the World Health Organisation (WHO) somehow, as a result of its affinity for China, misled or misadvised the world about the disease? You think that Doctor Trump was right or even in a position to hold an opinion on that... Continue Reading →
Saving the World From the US
