GERMANY HAS WELCHED ON ITS MORAL OBLIGATIONS BEFORE
Prefatory note: Having traveled on business throughout Germany deploying complex information technology projects, I can vouch for the German predilection with rules, process, programs, and structures.

PUTIN, STALIN, AND FDR
The atrocities and wholesale destruction visited upon the nation of Ukraine beginning February 24, 2022, and the annexation of Crimea in 2014 by Vladimir Putin’s Red Army is as much due to the megalomania of a madman as it is to the fecklessness of democracies who have failed to stand together to confront such evil. Tragically, we have seen this movie before. Read More…

AMERICA’S ADDICTION TO CHINA MUST END OR IT WILL KILL US
China’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak and its aftermath is evidence, if any further evidence is needed, that the totalitarian regime would rather run roughshod over the community of nations and more perversely over its own citizens than to act with the transparency, honesty, and integrity expected of a presumed superpower.

IS THE UNITED STATES AT END OF EMPIRE?
AMERICA’S ECONOMIC PRIMACY IS ON A SLIPPERY SLOPE
America’s economic primacy is pretty much behind us. And, I don’t believe there is any chance of reversing a trend that began thirty plus years ago.

BOOK REVIEW: SEA POWER BY ADMIRAL JAMES STAVRIDIS

been hugely influential in promoting his views from the day he published his

CLIMATE CHANGE: SCIENCE OR PROPAGANDA?
The fear being stoked by the power elites in academia, business, government, and the media that climate change poses, as the current cliché has it, an “existential” threat to the planet is a threat alright but one that seeks to undermine a sovereign nation’s interests and priorities. Read More…

THE MASK OF MAYORKAS: MORE DISINFORMATION FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
The White House Propaganda machine was working overtime when it labeled its choice for Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, a “Latino.” A good try, perhaps, but disingenuous in the end.
