    THE DATA CENTER AS BOOGEYMAN

    In the minds of many, the recent boom in data center construction ranks right up there with the “existential threat” that climate change poses to all humanity. True believers in a post-apocalyptic world, of course, ignore the fact that climate change has been thoroughly debunked as an omnipresent threat to the planet through the rigorous scientific research of apolitical climatologists.

    GERMANY HAS WELCHED ON ITS MORAL OBLIGATIONS BEFORE

    Editor’s 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. In the end, everything we set out to accomplish as part of our project rollouts we did so on time and on budget thanks to the hard work of our German team members. Read More…

    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.

    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. The best-case scenario for the nation is to slow the rate of economic decline – never mind social and cultural decline, which are probably lodged in irreversible decay. Read More…

    CUBA AND VENEZUELA: THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE’S AXIS OF EVIL

    Editor’s note: President Trump’s speech before the United Nation’s General Assembly, September 24, 2019, made clear that Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro’s Marxist regime was being held afloat with the help of his Cuban communist comrades: “The Dictator Maduro is a Cuban puppet, protected by Cuban bodyguards, hiding from his own people, while Cuba plunders Venezuela’s oil wealt Read More…

    BOOK REVIEW: SEA POWER BY ADMIRAL JAMES STAVRIDIS

    It is a sad state of affairs when a four-star Admiral of the United States Navy publishes a book on the geopolitics of sea power that is filled with sloppy research, non-sequiturs, serious omissions, and platitudes. Read More…

    HOW IDEOLOGY MASQUERADES AS IMPARTIAL ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

    Editor’s note: Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Samuelson has
    been hugely influential in promoting his views from the day he published his
    economics textbook in 1948. He also penned a regular column in Newsweek
    magazine for fifteen years during the 1960’s. 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. The fact is that Mr. Mayorkas’ father was Turkish and his mother Romanian. That the Secretary was born in Havana is irrelevant. Army brats born in Korea of U.S. Read More…
