Carl Abel says that if he were one of the war fighters ordered to kill those two sailers clinging from that bombed out fishing boat supposedly filled with drugs, he “probably would have refused” following illegal orders. This clip is edited from the following comments by Abel on the complete Lean […]
Jewish Hate is a Global Disgrace by Mark M. Bello Yesterday, fifteen people were murdered in Sydney, Australia, while celebrating Hanukkah. Let that register for a moment. This wasn’t a war zone or a battlefield. Nor was it a conflict zone or collateral damage in some geopolitical chess match. This was a beach in Australia […]
by C J Waldron Donald Trump is out to establish a New World Order in the Western Hemisphere by creating a Soviet-style system of government that would make Central and South American countries subservient to the will of America. The release of the National Security Strategy of 2025 describes how he plans to use tariffs […]

The problem? The “Seditious Six” said nothing even close to reaching a level of “sedition.” […]
By C J Waldron By any measure the shooting of two West Virgina National Guardsmen deployed Washington, DC is a horrific act.
