The War Was Provoked and That Matters

ronpaulinstitute.org George Orwell wrote in 1984 that “Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” Governments work relentlessly to distort public perceptions of the past.

They Just Don’t Care

Not a word from any of the opposition, no headlines from the media. They seem all like moles, hiding in their holes, wanting a trouble-free existence. They take the salary with all its perks and then hope that we will be silly enough to vote for them next time. If

Financial Journalism

Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com Reading the wonderful quality newspapers still available by dint of population numbers in Britain, I’ve drawn a clear conclusion about financial market columnists.

Stan’s Tanty Lacks a Skerrick of Evidence

Is Stan Grant Australia’s very own “Jussie Smollett”? As you will recall, Smollett, the black American actor, became a figure of mockery with his lurid and wildly improbable claim of a “racist attack”. Smollett was later jailed for lying to police. We can nurse no such hope in the
