The Sixth

The Sixth is a documentary of the January 6, 2021, insurrection by Trump's Proud Boys told through the eyes of U.S. Capitol Police who fought them.

DOD Book Ban

Banning books will no doubt increase their sales, but the fascist message from the White House is that America is a white house, male-dominant, Christian, and heterosexual.

Gangster States

As the gangster states of Russia and the U.S. led by Putin and Trump seek to expand their territories, we need to examine the history of ideas leading to this new world order where democracy no longer exists.

The federal governments of both empires have long failed to deliver basic health and security to large segments of their populations, and both have embarked on ethnic cleansing and institutionalized bigotry.

Putin and Trump may represent competing gangster states, but they have a lot in common. 

America's Hitler

America's Hitler wants to annex Canada. 

Does anyone remember the Sudetenland?

Treason in a Nutshell

150 police officers were injured by Trump's rioters on January 6, 2021. Some were hit in the head with baseball bats and pipes. The leader of the violent attack on U.S. Capitol Police who organized the attack and stashed an arsenal of weapons for a follow-up attack was released from prison by Trump. Four DC police committed suicide in the months following the Trump insurrection. 

Dysfunctional System

I recently read somewhere that one third of the federal budget goes to the military, and another third of what should be part of the federal budget are the taxes not paid by the rich due to corruption. That leaves all other social needs to fight over the remainder. This dysfunctional system is now imploding.

Democracy DOA

In my 2016 article Wag the Dog, I tracked the psychological warfare and fraud used by the financial elite in the US to sell the very profitable oil wars to Congress and the public. 

In the 2023 documentary film Mafias and Banks, the money is followed to tell the story of how transnational organized crime has captured the global banking industry. 

Financial warfare by criminal capitalists is detailed by Michel Chossudovsky in his 2003 groundbreaking book The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order. 

In 2024, the film Bad Faith tracked the money behind the takeover of the US Government by white supremacist Christian Nationalists.
