Governments, as Murray Rothbard reminded us, are nothing but “armed criminal bands writ large”. The Trump Administration has done all it can to prove Rothbard right.
The United States ceased being a republic 160 years ago. But its government stopped pretending to rule one much more recently. In the 20th century it became an empire. During this one, it’s been a degenerate one.
Yesterday at the UN, the current emperor personified how degraded it has become. He again threatened “annihilation” of the civilization he “Pearl Harbored” almost eight months ago:

At 2:47 AM, the gas station on Interstate 80 still glows. Fluorescent tubes hum above pumps that move fuel through pipelines spanning continents. Inside the convenience store, a man buys a coffee kept hot by electricity flowing from a grid drawing power from Wyoming coal, Quebec hydro, and Texas natural gas. He does not think about the grid. He thinks about his knee, which hurts, and the overtime pay, which helps. This is the miracle we inhabit: complexity so complete it has become invisible. But miracles require maintenance. They require precise temperatures, specific pressures, exact chemical balances, and thousands of people who know what happens when those variables drift. Lately, the drift has become harder to correct.

As many of my readers know, I have been concerned about the potential for the current regime in Washington to crack down on dissent and possibly even declare martial law around the time of the upcoming midterm elections in November.
The most dangerous period, I believe, will be in the weeks and months after the election. If the Republicans suffer a total loss, meaning they lose both houses of Congress and not by one or two votes but by a legitimate rout, I am concerned that the man in the White House will take drastic actions never before seen in American history.
Trump’s insane speech before the United Nations on Tuesday only magnified my worst suspicions about what may be in store for America in late 2026 into early 2027.

Something is going seriously wrong with American politics when people who constantly speak about defending democracy can contemplate throwing democracy aside when they despise the person who won an election. A new Center for Strategic Politics poll conducted with Liberal Currents surveyed 683 Democratic voters and found that 59% would feel either “very positive” or “somewhat positive” if Donald Trump were removed from office through a military coup supposedly intended to safeguard the Constitution. Another 13% were neutral. Even more disturbing, 29% expressed a positive reaction to the hypothetical assassination of Trump.

Elliot Brandt, the Chief Executive Officer of AIPAC–the Israel Lobby-which is privileged by not having to register as a foreign lobby was caught on tape boasting of how easy it is for him to control the President of the United States and Trump’s national security officials–National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and others.
In a stunning leaked recording, AIPAC CEO Elliot Brandt is heard openly bragging about how the powerful pro-Israel lobby manipulates key figures in Donald Trump’s national security inner circle, pushing them toward another costly and unpopular war in the Middle East on behalf of Israel.

On September 25, 1970, in the 8:30 p.m. time slot immediately following “The Brady Bunch,” ABC premiered a program that would give television production company Screen Gems its second TV-to-pop-chart smash: “The Partridge Family.” Unwilling to rest as a one-hit wonder when its first big hit, “The Monkees,” went off the air in 1968, Screen Gems was wasting no time in trying to repeat its success.

“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. “Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.” They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited
“Ironically enough, the only people who can hold up indefinitely under the stress of modern war are psychotics. Individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited
“Human beings act in a great variety of irrational ways, but all of them seem to be capable, if given a fair chance, of making a reasonable choice in the light of available evidence. Democratic institutions can be made to work only if all concerned do their best to impart knowledge and to encourage rationality. But today, in the world’s most powerful democracy, the politicians and the propagandists prefer to make nonsense of democratic procedures by appealing almost exclusively to the ignorance and irrationality of the electors.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited
“In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or the propaganda might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies – the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.”

Hello My Friends,
I hope you are flourishing!
My new book was just published. It is called Sea Gypsy Memories. It combines lovely stories with gentle messaging. It is my attempt to write a Walden Pond for the 21st Century.
I insisted that it be priced affordably. So it only costs $8 in either paperback or ebook formats. If you buy it and like it, please spread the word. A good review at Amazon would also help.

Stucky Summary: Trump is well on his way to becoming even more demented than fJB. God help us.
===============================
When high-level security advisers emerge from an intelligence summit at the Élysée Palace in Paris confessing to a literal “sense of vertigo”—looking down into the abyss of simultaneous, systemic collapse across the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and domestic Western energy markets—the crisis has passed beyond standard geopolitics.
The epicenter of this vertigo remains Washington. But as constitutional attorney Robert Barnes laid bare in an extraordinary, forensic dialogue with Alexander Mercouris, the man sitting in the Oval Office is no longer the transactional, realistic dealmaker of 2016.

A former Anthropic employee claimed AI would lead to the end of humanity, and soon. In the weeks since, the “whistleblower” has done a full press tour, with even Anthropic and OpenAI themselves seeming to cosign this claim. As a result, hysteria has ensued—and that’s exactly what these AI companies want.
