For the next few blogs we post, we’d like to give our readers options—a choice of what you’d like to read about. While current events seem more explosive than ever, and important topics often get pushed to the bottom of the news cycle, we realize that people need answers to some of the most pressing questions today. Listed below are 10 possible topics we are prepared to write blogs on. Depending on levels of enthusiasm and the response to this question, we will likely cover anywhere from two to five topics.
Continue reading to learn about the topics we have been researching and feel comfortable presenting in more detail. Your vote or comments will determine which ones we explore in the coming weeks.
1. Recent Covid Congressional Hearings on Covid and mRNA Vaccines
Updates and credible sources documenting the most important hearings of today…
Any criticisms of Covid vaccines, and for that matter other vaccines, were—until the recent election of President Trump—taboo. Speaking from personal experience, one of us was banned from LinkedIn for pointing out the dangers of the mRNA vaccines. The recent congressional hearings discussing potentially extreme and, in some cases, long-lasting dangers of mRNA vaccines, as well as potential dangers of other vaccines, are a very welcome sight. If you would like to learn more, we would be delighted to share some of our proprietary research findings. In this piece, we will provide a general overview of the COVID-19 hearings and offer additional information and context from a book co-authored by a leading Australian scientist, which has been banned in America. The book presents compelling evidence that many deaths and long-term health issues experienced by many Americans could have been completely avoided.
2. Charlie Kirk and The Israeli Lobby
Could Charlie Kirk have been changing his views on the donor state?
Only one of us knew how important Charlie Kirk had become as an influencer of those under the age of 35. Indeed, at the time of his assassination, his sway among younger Americans was so great that he was being touted as a future presidential candidate. His premature death has been shrouded in controversy, nearly matching that associated with the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers in the 1960s. It is a controversy that, at its core, reveals America is increasingly controlled by amoral plutocrats whose sole interest is protecting their wealth and pet causes—causes that Kirk, toward the end of his very short life, was beginning to challenge.
How did he get killed so publicly, and yet so little evidence from the criminal investigation is being released? The circumstances of his death are opaque at best. While other blogs have been written on this topic, we believe we have a compelling argument to demonstrate that his death advantaged a very powerful group of individuals who had begun to feel threatened by Kirk’s growing popularity and signs that his thinking on critical issues was shifting.
3. The Fall of the U.S. Dollar
Where will America stand if the U.S dollar falls?
Year to date, the dollar is down nearly ten percent against other major currencies and almost 50% against its biggest rival, gold, worldwide. Historically, both numbers are vast and have the potential to impact all Americans—rich and poor—at virtually every level of their lives. This blog post would hit these points dead center and serve as a deep dive into the U.S. dollar’s role in America’s financial future. One crucial point is that every 5% rise in the price of gold is another nail in the dollar’s coffin as the world’s reserve currency. The dollar’s slide threatens all Americans—rich and poor alike—and is arguably the most critical issue in defining America’s role in the 21st century..
4. The Ukraine War and Global Consequences
Current truthful updates about the war and where the U.S stands…
Perhaps most important in today’s world is the topic of the Ukraine war. Although we have been discussing it in our blogs recently, this blog will serve as a comprehensive recap for those seeking information. Yet, this blog also hints at the ultimate significance of the war and what it means to us. The Ukraine war marks a critical point of inflection, whose almost certain outcome will cement the future of the world’s geopolitical structure. A comprehensive review of this topic will provide insight into information ranging from the likelihood of future wars to the global distribution of critical resources.
5. America is No Longer a Democracy
How did Citizens United effect the United States in the longrun?
While a controversial topic to tackle, the U.S. is devolving from democracy to something far worse. During the Obama administration, the Supreme Court handed down the Citizens United decision, which sharply accelerated an already strong trend from America as an individually centered democracy to a full-fledged plutocracy.
Traditionally, divisions in American politics were drawn along party lines: Republican vs. Democrat, left vs. right. But Citizens United completely shattered these divisions and realized Thomas Jefferson’s deepest fears about democracy—that it could lead to rule by the rich. By opening the floodgates for virtually unlimited corporate and billionaire spending in politics, the ruling blurred old partisan lines and entrenched our new reality: the true divide in America today is not red vs. blue, but the ultra-rich vs. everyone else.
6. Our Confession on Tucker Carlson
How a leading media presence can evolve in the face of corruption…
For many years, Tucker Carlson was well known as the editorial voice of the right. His nightly program on Fox provided a cogent presentation of right-wing views. Depending on your political stance, you either despised or adored him. But since early 2022—gradually at first and now in full force—he has become a spokesman for the vast majority of Americans being left behind in the ascendancy of the ultra-rich. He has been stalwart in his opposition to the Ukraine war and a persuasive warrior in the fight against the control of free thought by wokeism. He has also become active in exposing conspiracies involving the deep state—that part of the country’s bureaucracy which has come to be the tool of the controlling plutocracy.
As these words are being penned, Carlson has embarked on a multipart documentary on the insidious role of the deep state and the motivations of the governing ultra-rich in the most significant attack ever seen on American soil: the destruction of the World Trade towers and the killing of over 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. Though the full scope of Carlson’s conclusions has not yet been presented, we expect that they will be central in defining the devolution of American culture and civilization.
7. Freedom of Speech in America Today
Are we prioritizing our first ammendment right anymore?
If you’ve heard of Harvard University’s stance on Israeli protests, you know why freedom of speech is—and has always been—a paramount topic in this country. Other pro-Palestine protests on college campuses have been similarly shut down. This really defines just how far our country has fallen in values since the 1970s. Our First Amendment right used to be prioritized beyond “cancel culture” or popular opinion. Founded by Jewish lawyers, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), until at least the late 1970s, protected even the most hateful free speech.
For example, the organization promoted the rights of Nazis to exercise their free speech in a march through Skokie, Illinois, a Jewish suburb of Chicago, in 1977. Clearly this was not because they agreed but because they believed in the sacred freedoms our founding fathers thought critical for the survival of our democracy. Whether through wokeism or shutting down protesters, simply canceling people for telling a truth that is uncomfortable or at variance with a government narrative means, step by step, we are losing what our founding fathers fought for as essential to a prospering society.
8. The Importance of Global Supply Chains
Without them, the U.S as we know it falls apart…
A powerful case can be made that the United States is falling behind its competitors—and that the price of catching up will be steep, if even possible. To keep pace with Russia and China, we must face the reality that in a country highly dependent on others for vital resources and commodities, supply chains are no longer just economic, but existential. Rare earths and other little-known resources are critical examples. But our reliance on other nations extends to many major commodities, including copper and silver.
Beyond minerals, we also need intellectual resources to build out technologies and especially AI, for which a modern electric grid is essential—yet cannot be built because our weak educational system does not produce enough skilled workers. China still wants to work with us because of our intellectual firepower and vast consumer market. We should want to as well—not out of goodwill, but because our survival depends on it.
9. Can Capitalism Exist Within a Democracy?
Two counter intuitive ideas, thrust together for centuries…
Capitalism and democracy are two different things, yet they’re often conflated. Both Russia and China are capitalistic to some extent, as elements of free enterprise remain uncontrolled by the government. Russia and China have enthusiastic entrepreneurs competing with one another in individual success that will unlock doors for those around them and, indeed, for their countries. However, both countries have managed to create this capitalistic ethos in the context of governments that undeniably have elements of authoritarianism.
In the United States, our strong preference for our markets has always been a form of free enterprise and capitalism. But in the past half-century it has become clear that capitalism and democracy are by no means comfortable bedfellows. As we have said before, Jefferson had grave doubts about the coexistence of democracy and capitalism. Indeed, part of our Constitution was written to help ensure the coexistence of democracy and capitalism. The relevant part concerned our monetary system and was best summed up by a paper to which we have previously referred. Authored by Warren Buffett’s father, the paper argued that only gold-backed currencies are consistent with the coexistence of capitalism and the kind of absolute freedoms that are inherent in true democracies.
10. Why the Global Perception of America Has Changed
Who are we in the eyes of the rest of the world?
It should not come as a shock that the perception of our country has shifted. In this blog, we’ll use numbers from Western-based institutions to illustrate this fall from grace and to prove that our own sentiments are now shared by the plurality of the world’s sovereign nations. The once-shared vision of the United States as a beacon to the free world has shifted in a way that would have been impossible to forecast a half-century ago. Numbers and hard data from Western-based sources make clear that most now believe America is no longer a home of the free but a shattered mockery of its once great self. We join with so many of those—and especially the young and newly arrived—who desperately long for an American revival, which in time could return it to the pinnacle of a new world order.
