The Reason for the Trump-Putin Summit’s Puzzling End

2025/08/18

There is much confusion about why the August 15th Trump-Putin ended the way it did. Here is a typical example: The reason why I was expecting this outcome will be explained here. On 4 December 2024, when Trump hired General Keith Kellogg to be his negotiator on the Ukraine war, I headlined “Reuters reports Trump is set to continue Biden’s policies on Ukraine.” and opened: On December 4th, Reuters headlined [misleadingly in its ‘off the table’] “Trump’s plan for Ukraine comes into focus:

The Putin-Trump Meeting

LewRockwell ·

2025/08/18

What do we make of it? A good result came of it. Trump moved away from his demand for a ceasefire and said that it was more important to work toward a permanent peace than a ceasefire which is seldom kept. This would seem to commit Trump to addressing the root cause of the conflict, which is Russia’s insecurity with NATO all over her borders. Putin said that the meeting marked the transition from confrontation and threats to dialogue. This prospect alone made the meeting worthwhile. These are

Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity’s 9 annual conference, “Blueprint for Peace” was held Saturday, a day after a possibly promising new start to the end of the US-NATO-Russia war in Ukraine, at a time where the world remains seconds away from nuclear destruction, due to accident or imperial malpractice. August 16th featured lively and passionate set of speakers, to a room literally packed with great minds intent on tackling the great and urgent problems that Americans face now. You can

2025/08/18

Australia’s state broadcaster the ABC gave extensive airtime to Israeli deputy foreign affairs minister Sharren Haskel on Friday, allowing her to voice her objections to Australian demonstrations against the very genocide that she and her government are presently committing in Gaza. Haskel’s statements were then picked up and printed in outlets like The Guardian, quoting at length her lies denying Israel’s deliberate starvation of Palestinians and her assertion that anti-genocide protesters are

The Last Thing We Need Right Now Is a Fed Rate Cut

LewRockwell ·

2025/08/18

Pressure on Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve continues to mount as both Wall Street and the White House demand more easy money to keep asset price inflation accelerating ever upward. These inflationists also hope that easy money-policy will somehow reverse the current stagnating trend in employment. In recent months, both President Trump and the usual Wall Street outlets have insisted that the Fed reduce the target policy interest rate to ensure that stock prices and real estate prices continue

The Butker Principle: Is America Better Off Without...

2025/08/18

Some readers might recall a year ago the internet was in an uproar about a commencement speech given by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker at Benedictine College, a private Catholic liberal arts school in Kansas. The speech went viral due to his denouncement of abortion, Pride Month, COVID-19 lockdowns and the tyranny of diversity, equity and inclusion. However, it was his comments on women in the workforce that really put a twist in the panties of the leftist media: “I want to speak directly

Martial Law in Times of Civil Disorder

2025/07/28

In these uncertain times, when the world seems to go mad, you can’t help but wonder how long until we will experience a martial law scenario. One day we might have to live under such a scenario since it seems there are many SHTF events that would impose it. The current pandemic is just an example, and personally, I believe we were lucky so far that things didn’t lead to further chaos and social upheaval. The United States has a certain history when it comes to martial law, and like many other

Matt Smith: All right, good morning, Doug. I think the biggest thing in the news is that Obama is a traitor. I mean, we know this officially now. Although a lot of this information had been uncovered in years past—about RussiaGate and all of that—the connections weren’t as clear as they are now, based on Tulsi’s release of information and what she’s told Trump. So much so that Trump felt quite confident recently, in an open forum at a press conference, to just outright call him a traitor. He said,

The Future Includes Mass Murder of Undesirables…

2025/07/28

I occasionally gab about the world with friends and family. Recently, a friend and I were bitching about the rise of “fascism” in America. We soon realized we had different visions of what that meant. About what’s possible in a country like America. America spans about 3.8 million square miles, with many different climates, economies, and ways of life. America’s size and spread-out population shape its politics in important ways. The country’s large area makes local issues and regional differences

Taiwan’s Voters Reject Anti-Chinese Recall Plot

LewRockwell ·

2025/07/28

In January 2024 Taiwan’s current President Lai Ching-te won the election against two other candidates. (Taiwan has no run off elections.) His Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) though, which supports Taiwan’s independence from China, failed to get a majority in parliament. The opposition was thus, by controlling the budget, able to prevent Lai Ching-te from furthering a split from the Chinese homeland. Like many recent election winners in so called democracies Lai Ching-te set out to

The Epstein Saga: What It Is Really About

LewRockwell ·

2025/07/28

We have to decide whether the Epstein story is child rape or Mossad blackmail. If “child” is defined as under the statutory age of female sexual consent, in the US depending on the state, a child is a female under 16 years of age, under 17 years of age, or under 18 years of age. In New York the age of female consent is 17. In Hawaii it is 16. Hawaii has a “close-in-age” exception that allows 14 year olds to consent with those up to 21 years in age. In Hawaii the goal seems to be not to prevent

Is the Epstein Affair a Watershed Moment?

2025/07/28

Perhaps when we look back on the Epstein Affair, we’ll understand that it broke the back of Americans’ faith in their political and law enforcement institutions. We’re being told the Epstein Affair is old news, nothing to see here, move along–but I’m not so sure. It could be the opposite of old news, a watershed moment in American history. Watershed moments can be sudden, dramatic events that we all experience as “nothing is the same after this,” or

Unlawful Parts of Government Are a Criminal Enterprise!

LewRockwell ·

2025/07/28

I estimate that a majority of the Federal Establishment is a Criminal Enterprise because it is not authorized by the Enumerated Powers in our Constitution. Many, if not most, of these Unconstitutional and Criminal activities were enacted into Unconstitutional Laws by Congress. It is impossible for the United States to long survive with these unconstitutional expenses. Our states are Sovereign Governments, not so the Federal Government. So I label it as the Establishment, not Government. The Federal

Don’t Ship Weapons to Troubled Hot Spots

2025/07/28

Substantial parts of the world are at war, The Mideast and Ukraine attract the most attention, but there are others as well. Our traditional foreign policy calls for non-intervention in foreign wars, but even those who do not fully accept this policy should agree on one thing. America should not ship weapons to troubled areas. Wars are bad things, and we shouldn’t make them worse by making it easier to kill people. Unfortunately, that’s just what we are doing. When he ran for President, Trump made

The sewer gates are opening as the endgame approaches. It’s not just the Kiev cabal that will be swept away. Previously, any observer who had pointed out the rampant corruption that is endemic in the Kiev regime was automatically denounced by Western governments and media as a peddler of Russian disinformation. Hilariously, though, this week, the Kiev kleptocracy burst open in such a spectacular way that even the American and European apologists for the regime could no longer maintain the worst-kept

What They Don’t Tell Us About Heart Disease

The more I study science, the more I come to see how often fundamental facts end up being changed so that a profitable industry can be created. In the case of heart disease, I very much believe that is the case and in this publication, I’ve tried to expose the erroneous information that predominates our understanding of this subject (e.g., previously I’ve discussed why our model of how the heart pumps blood in the body is incorrect, the forgotten Russian research that shows the heart intelligently

International Law Is Now Completely Dead

If it is not going to be enforced even now, regarding the extermination (genocide) to eliminate the Gazans (and there is zero indication that it will be), it is dead. If it will be enforced against anything else but not against that, then it will be so outrageously selective so that it reflects the sheer power of some imperialistic “higher power,” as to have no relationship whatsoever to any authentic justice, but ONLY to the ethic of psychopaths: “Might makes right.” But if might makes right, then

The Vigilant Fox just reported a live radio exchange between vaccine advocate, Peter Hotez, and a woman who called in to the studio to tell of her ordeal after receiving a COVID-19 mRNA booster. Infamous vaccine pusher Dr. Peter Hotez recently had an uncomfortable moment during what started as a softball radio interview on Hello Houston. Everything was going his way.

The former leader of the fundamentalist-Sunni ISIS and al-Qaeda forces in Syria, al-Jolani (renamed al-Sharaa) has now suffered his first military defeat at the hands of the fundamentalist-Jewish Israeli Government, which is determined to keep parts of Syria and will now be free to take more of it. This defeat is a shattering blow to al-Sharaa’s followers, whom he increasingly struggles to hold together, while the country that he (backed by support from the U.S., Turkey, Qatar, the Saud family, and

2025/07/21

On Tuesday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury surged nearly 10 basis points in a few hours, rising above 4.49 percent. The rising yield came after the release of new price-inflation data showing that CPI growth had hit a five-month high and remained well above the Federal Reserve’s two-percent target for price inflation. Rising yields often indicate that bond investors believe price inflation will continue to grow, so it was probably no coincidence that bond yields—especially on longer-term
