AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Upon occasion, in human affairs, it becomes necessary to remind the functionaries that they are not proprietors. This observation has reference to that Euro-American mélange of colossal dummies who self-identify as the foreign policy establishment (FPE) and intelligence community (IC). FWIW, my best inference at this time: CIA-State desired to arm and…

This observation has reference to that Euro-American mélange of colossal dummies who self-identify as the foreign policy establishment (FPE) and intelligence community (IC). Bonhoeffer and others, including I, sought for decades to articulate what we…

This observation has reference to that Euro-American mélange of colossal dummies, Fascists, who self-identify as the foreign policy establishment (FPE) and intelligence community (IC). Most timely, Sir Winston Churchill, twenty three years of age, on…

This observation has reference to that Euro-American mélange of colossal dummies who self-identify as the foreign policy establishment (FPE) and intelligence community (IC).

AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Upon occasion, in human affairs, it becomes necessary to remind the functionaries that they are not proprietors. This observation has reference to that Euro-American mélange of colossal dummies who self-identify as the foreign policy establishment and intelligence community. The following is a hunch. I have no direct or circumstantial evidence to support…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA The overlooked epic-scale film The Fall Of The Roman Empire, from 1964, poses what for Hollywood’s principal persuaders then and now is an unusual and inimical theme: The Family of Nations. The same theme carries the often-overlooked El Cid, from 1961. Both films are produced by Samuel Bronston, both star Sophia Loren, and both…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA MultiCulturalism is to Humanism as Liberation Theology is to Christianity. MultiCulturalism and Liberation Theology are ideologies crafted and marketed by certain overbearing personalities — tyrants they are — to be psychotropic gateway drugs to yet stronger opiating concepts, phrases, and antisocial behaviors, ones that induce mass-dependency on said overbearing personalities. MultiCulturalism and…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA But are not Schiff and Co. trying to accomplish in a dirty manner what you feel is best for yourself, family, and friends but so far have been unable to accomplish in a clean manner? You know why tyrants resort to slavery, always and of necessity? Very simple. Wealth is produced by…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA I have no direct and no clear circumstantial evidence for this assertion of fact. I have anecdotal evidence which requires pattern recognition and intuition, which NCIS’s writers call Gibbs’ gut. The assertion of fact I make in these circumstances is: It has been ChiComs all along. That includes today’s wheeze invoking Ukraine.…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Stand tall, keep your roots in the ground. Send them deep, into the waters and the earth. Clean the air, and provide/protect homes for other creatures. Last weekend, I stood with the president of a hobby club to which I belong, listening, like him, to a teenaged member brimming with astonishment stories connected…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Not without reason. A woman needs a man to protect and inspire her. A child needs a mother and father to protect and rear him or her. A man who draws attention to himself is masochistic if not suicidal and radically endangers the vitality, and therefore, viability of his family, in both…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Spengler: We Need Our Mojo Back Vis-à-Vis China Spengler (David P. Goldman, Banker) is cogent as always. He vacillates between hand-wringing and triumphalism, through the years. This essay runs in the former type. Lots of China experience. Competent theologian. Strategic interests and wisdoms. Appreciates Augustine, as I Maimonides. Eight things stand out…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Never Forget How U.S. Intelligence Failed You. If George W. Bush had been a better, braver, man, he would have recognized that new reality instead of creating the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security. But both the Democrats and the establishment Republicans are heavily invested in making ordinary Americans feel powerless…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Executive Order on Modernizing Sanctions to Combat Terrorism Good, the EO I mean. State and Treasury ordered to work to the same end as DOD and just as assiduously. Exceedingly late but happily received news. That rationality can do wonders. Diplomacy, Finance, and War-Fighting are the three assets of statecraft. (I know,…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Looking For Trouble The Theologian And The Soldier: Two Fighters For One Freedom Is freedom something you have to take, something you have to make, something you have to earn, something you have to ask for, something someone has to give you, something you have already, something you are already? Which is…
