THE DOCTOR IS IN - Unfortunately, human history has proven endemic both to regional (and now global) pandemics and to human trafficking (both slave/servant sales and sexual trafficking-- and child trafficking at that).

NUCLEAR POLITICS - Some countries claim that nuclear weapons exist to deter aggression—when in fact they are the most egregious aggressive threat to all of humanity. 

DEMOCRACY WATCH - One year ago, the foundation of our democracy was jeopardized in a full-blown coup attempt by seditionists egged on by former president Donald Trump. People died.

PROGRESSIVE POLITICS - Over the past several decades, the progressive Left has successfully fulfilled Antonio Gramsci’s famed admonition of a “long march through the institutions”.

RantZ and RaveZ - As we arrive at 2022, I want to welcome back the readers of RantZ and RaveZ. 

COMMENTARY - Unless the Republicans and Democrats put the nation above their party and personal interests, our democracy will face the gravest danger in more than a hundred years.

THE DOCTOR IS IN - I'm as guilty as any of being garrulous, verbose, loquacious, etc. So, I'll try to keep things neat and sweet for our New Year: 

HISTORICAL ANALYSIS - When Oliver Stone first ambles through Dealey Plaza in Dallas in the opening frames his new documentary JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass, I couldn’t help but think the man is a soldier.

COMMENTARY - The surveillance activities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Portland and other American cities earlier this year is reminiscent of FBI-CIA-NSA efforts to disrupt anti-Vietnam protest groups in the 1960s and 1970s. 

A VIEW FROM HERE - Surprise, surprise, surprise, Chuck Todd’s January 2, 2022 Meet the Press allowed a series of chinks in the Pelosi-Woker anti-White bashing which has fueled our lethal divisiveness.
