Pascal

2025/11/07

Why are the French different from Americans? One reason, for good or ill, is that in their senior year in high school (called términale) French kids must take a course in philosophy. My daughter has just started reading the Pensées (Thoughts) of Pascal. My response to Pascal and his Pensées is given below in an essay I wrote for myself when I read it more than 35 years ago. But before that consider why I read this old book through the following dialogue from another, very different, French writer

The Times They Are a-Changin

2025/11/07

On the surface Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor of New York supports my contention that American democracy has become riven with faction and left-wing ideology and has become dysfunctional. See this. Mamdani’s agenda of rent freezes, city-run non-profit grocery stores, more taxes on the rich, free subways, reduced police presence, and the rest of his promised handouts to the unproductive brings the redistributive character of US democracy to the breaking point at which the productive leave a

Israel Is Still Starving Gaza

2025/11/07

Israel is still blocking humanitarian groups from delivering the aid necessary to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. In an article titled “Not enough tents, food reaching Gaza as winter comes, aid agencies say,” Reuters reports that “Far too little aid is reaching Gaza nearly four weeks after a ceasefire” due to Israeli restrictions preventing aid trucks from getting to their destinations, and that according to an OSHA report last week “a tenth of children screened in Gaza were still

As we related in our book, The Courage to Face COVID-19, just before Dr. McCullough departed to Washington D.C. for his Senate testimony on November 19, 2020, he had a disturbing conversation with his church pastor, Andrew Forrest. “We don’t understand what’s happening in our world,” McCullough explained. “My YouTube videos about early treatment were taken down, and then my planned WebEx conference with an Australian MP about treatment was hacked. Now my hospital administrators are acting like I’m

The Fraud That Won’t Die: Obamacare’s Endless Deceptions

LewRockwell ·

2025/11/07

While the government shutdown continues and health-care reform remains gridlocked, Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) burdens taxpayers with out-of-control costs. For more than a decade, Obamacare has been riddled with systemic fraud that has been denied by Democratic Party bureaucrats, ignored by much of the media, and paid for by weary taxpayers. Built on lies including “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,” Catholics continue to bitterly recall the duplicitous role that Sr. Carol

History Will Not Be Kind to Dick Cheney

LewRockwell ·

2025/11/07

Dick Cheney died this week. He leaves behind a wretched legacy. Cheney reached the pinnacle of his influence as George W. Bush’s vice president, a position from which he orchestrated the Iraq War and helped bring about one of the most intrusive pieces of legislation ever to have been leveled against the American people. Democrats reflexively abhorred Cheney as veep, but as GOP voters became more averse to foreign intervention, he became a symbol of everything that is wrong with U.S. foreign policy

Trump’s Greatest Ally Is the Democratic Party

LewRockwell ·

2025/11/07

The only hope to save ourselves from Trump’s authoritarianism is mass movements. We must build alternative centers of power — including political parties, media, labor unions and universities — to give a voice and agency to those who have been disempowered by our two ruling parties, especially the working class and working poor. We must carry out strikes to cripple and thwart the abuses carried out by the emerging police state. We must champion a radical socialism, which includes slashing the $1

2025/11/07

Crazed with resentment after Trump’s win last November, they decided nothing less than the term “Nazi” would do. You know who “they” are: The New York Times, The New Yorker, protesters funded by George Soros like Antifa, furious left-wing types, Hollywood lefties, and other such kinds. Enough said about these people. They’re the types who always look unhappy. The Nazis are referred to as the greatest killers of all time. This is universally acknowledged but factually untrue; they are far down the

The recognizable ancestor of the Israel Defense Forces is not the Marquis De Sade, a mere sexual deviant, but your common serial killer with added pathological paraphilia, and the ability to industrialize the scale of his crimes. ~ ilana As I had remarked before, patterns of arousal—the commingling of serial killing and sex—are tied to psychopathy. The psychopathic fusion of lust and murder appears endemic among Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers. Honed in rendition torture camps, sexual violence

An Alternative American Creed

2025/11/07

The American people are being misled into believing that: Everyone in the world hates us Major powers such as Russia and China want to defeat us militarily And The answer is to create an autarkic state and maintain a military capable of intervening decisively almost anywhere in the world. To this end our government has adopted an unsustainable policy of massive military spending, interventions all over the world, and erecting trade barriers with the rest of the world, even our friends and allies

The Medical Research Scam

In the universe of alternative media, the immense size and influence of the Science/Medicine Industrial Complex (including “Big Pharma”) is well-known and commonly accepted. However, this massive network of organizations might be better understood as Big Research. A recent investigation dealing with UAB football (too embarrassing to cancel) led me to perform further research into the key source of funding for this university, the largest employer in the state of Alabama. The revenue UAB derives from

“Somebody decided Charlie Kirk was a danger to the status quo. The battle runs deep.” – Col. Douglas Macgregor “Charlie Kirk was evolving to have serious concerns about Israel. His murder silences that evolution and makes him a valuable martyr to serve the very anti-Christian forces that executed him.” – Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai I’ve spent a lot of time (I stopped counting after 250 hours) investigating the tragic Charlie Kirk assassination at Utah Valley University and have come to a few conclusions

Donald Trump is more than a bad president; he is a very bad man (to use Trump’s lingo). America has had several presidents with loose morals, but we’ve never had one (well, except for perhaps Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon Johnson) who had NO morals. It’s really difficult to realize, much less articulate, just how much toxic damage Trump has wrought in the hearts and minds of the people on the political and religious right. Of course, they themselves are unable to recognize it, but devotion and loyalty

One wonders how much longer Putin and Lavrov will take it or even if they comprehend the situation. For four years Putin and Lavrov have demonstrated enormous interest in ending the conflict by resolving the basic cause. The West has never bothered to understand that the basis of the conflict is Washington’s hegemonic foreign policy and NATO and US missile bases on Russia’s borders in Poland and Romania. The Kremlin has been reluctant to see this and provocations, such as the conflict in Ukraine

It’s the master of public health awardees who are running public health. An MPH is a two-year degree which does not require you to have any prior training in health, in biology, or in medicine.

“Every boat we strike saves the lives of 25,000 Americans,” says Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Wouldn’t that be something if it were true! How simple the problems of our post-imperial US world would be! The White House press conference of October 23rd centered on the President, sitting on a golden chair between Ken and Barbie.

A month ago I discussed a new hair-brained scheme by which the EU would confiscate Russian government money parked in Belgium. The Russian money would be used to finance a EU ‘reparation loan’ to Ukraine which would only have to be paid back when Russia would pay war reparations to Ukraine. That at least was the official pronunciation which turned out to be a quote obvious fake.

The Message of the Shroud

2025/10/25

The Shroud of Turin has fascinated believers and skeptics for centuries. This linen cloth bears the faint image of a man who appears to have been crucified – complete with wounds that match the Gospel accounts of Jesus Christ’s death. For some, it is the most sacred object in Christianity as it marks the exact moment that Jesus was resurrected. Others have insisted that the shroud is a medieval forgery. Until recently, there was no definitive evidence either way. That changed this year. First
