No Peace on Earth? Blame Woodrow Wilson

This is part 3 of “Why There Is Still No Peace on Earth: Washington’s Folly From The Persian Gulf to Ukraine.” Read part 1. Read part 2. Another Christmas and there is still no peace on earth. And the proximate cause of that vexing reality is the $1.3 trillion Warfare State planted on the banks of the Potomac – along with its web of war-making capabilities, bases, alliances and vassals stretching to the four corners of the planet. So positioned, it stands in stark mockery of John Qunicy Adam’s sage advice to his new nation 200-years ago: Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her ...

This US Army film is a documentary about the construction of the Ledo Road (also known as the Stilwell Road after the US General Joseph Stilwell), a 478-mile passage from Ledo, India to Kunming, China. It was built during World War 2 so that the Allies could supply the Chinese as an alternative to the Burma Road (which had been cut by the Japanese in 1942). The film concentrates mostly on the importance of the Burma Campaign and the Burma Road in supplying Chinese and American forces (for example the tactical Fourteenth Air Force) in China to resist Japanese domination. The British forces in Burma have confront harsh, jungle terrain and monsoons and are driven out by the Japanese in ...

3,700-year-old Babylonian stone tablet gets translated, changes history

They were doing trigonometry 1500 years before the Greeks. Dr. Daniel Mansfield and his team at the University of New South Wales in Australia have just made an incredible discovery. While studying a 3,700-year-old tablet from the ancient civilization of Babylon, they found evidence that the Babylonians were doing something astounding: trigonometry! Most historians have credited the Greeks with creating the study of triangles' sides and angles, but this tablet presents indisputable evidence that the Babylonians were using the technique 1,500 years before the Greeks ever were. Mansfield and his team are, understandably, incredibly proud. What they discovered is that the tablet is ...

New finds were discovered in Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe. At around 12,000 years old, Göbekli Tepe is the world’s oldest megalithic site – and it has a “sister site” called Karahantepe. A recent discovery in the world’s oldest religious sanctuary, Göbeklitepe, “Potbelly Hill” in Turkish, which is described as the “zero point of history” has revealed a painted wild boar statue. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Göbeklitepe has changed the way historians and archaeologists think about the cradle of civilization. And there is so much more to be discovered. A painted wild boar statue was discovered during ongoing excavations ...
Comanche Warriors vs. Texas Buffalo Hunters : Quanah Parker & The Battle Of Adobe Walls

In 1874, as the buffalo herds that they depend on are systematically annihilated, the tribes of the Southern Plains are becoming increasingly angry at the men killing their buffalo. These men, the buffalo hunters, are often in their 20’s and with little other economic opportunity. They are a dirty, unkempt and hard-fighting lot. Now, after being convinced by a conniving medicine man that they must band together and rid their homelands of the white man once and for all, a large band of Comanche, Cheyenne, Kiowa and Arapahoe warriors descend upon a remote outpost on the plains of North Texas. The place is known as Adobe Walls, and the buffalo hunters who live there will soon be in ...

This is the story of the Intruders, a group of airmen dubbed the `Bandits of the Air' by the Nazis during the Second World War thanks to its members' exploits in the skies above Europe's battlefields. This episode focuses on the 'Mosquito' - a seemingly innocuous and cheap fighter plane that terrorised the German Air Force. Made entirely out of wood, the Mosquito was initially dismissed by the British government, yet due to its remarkable speed and exceptional manoeuvrability, the bomber soon became a crucial part of the Royal Air Force during World War Two.

Why We Need To Understand What Happened at Pearl Harbor

In the Ukraine war, we have seen how the state uses lies and propaganda to get us into war. It will stop at nothing to pursue its nefarious schemes. To understand fully how the state operates, it’s essential to understand what happened at Pearl Harbor. Why is this important? Murray Rothbard explains: “Some readers might ask: why? What’s the point? Isn’t this just a raking up of old coals? Aren’t we merely pursuing an antiquarian interest when we examine in such detail what happened over a quarter-century ago? The answer is that this subject, far from being antiquarian, is crucial to the understanding of where we are now and how we got that way. For America’s ...

The Evidence that Convicts the CIA of the JFK Assassination
Post Date: 2023-08-12 11:10:37 by Ada

Longtime readers of my work on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy know that I point to the evidence establishing the fraudulent autopsy that was conducted on JFK’s body to convict the U.S. military establishment of criminal complicity in the assassination itself. That’s because there is no innocent explanation for a fraudulent autopsy. Once one concludes that the autopsy that the military conducted on JFK’s body was fraudulent, one has automatically concluded that the military establishment was criminally complicit in the assassination itself. There is no way around that. The evidence of autopsy fraud is set forth in my books The Kennedy Autopsy, The Kennedy ...
The Abominable August 9th

I assume that for any date on the calendar we might find a number of important historical events. For example, December 7th has been tagged as “a date that will live in infamy” by FDR, the person who instigated the Pearl Harbor disaster. Here I make the case that August 9th can be called The Abominable. Wikipedia lists historical events for August 9th. The event that stands out as abominable is the atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945. On that morning, the B-29 Bockscar, lifted off from Tinian island (where my father was that very day serving as a Marine radar operator) with the bomb called Fat Man. Nagasaki was the secondary target that day, There has been much debate about why ...

The January 1781 American defeat of the British at Cowpens, South Carolina is one of the most ingeniously scripted displays of tactical genius, ever, by an American commander. Some historians call it “the most perfect battle fought in the Americas” The American commander, Brigadier General Daniel Morgan, a self-taught frontiersman, outwitted, and his forces outfought, the well-trained British regulars, finishing the battle with a military maneuver history rarely sees: a double envelopment. The battle served as inspiration for the final battle of Mel Gibson’s 2000 film “The Patriot.” Cowpens was a turning point in the war, the British surrendered ten months later. ...
Warren G. Harding’s Turnaround of America

Today marks the one hundredth anniversary of the death of Warren Gamaliel Harding, a man almost universally identified as one of the worst Presidents ever. In truth, Harding was not nearly as bad as history has treated him. Writers like Ryan S. Walters (in his recent book Harding: The Jazz Age President) have made well-researched efforts to demonstrate that Harding’s administration was actually a successful model of conservatism. The established narrative goes something like this: Harding, a likeable but dull and unimaginative newspaper publisher from Marion, Ohio, runs for the Ohio legislature at the behest of local Republicans and is elected to the state senate. There he meets a ...

Silas Deane: Founding Father, Spy, And Loyalist? By Truth Press Published 28 July 2023 Today marks the anniversary of the tragic story of Silas Deane, a Founding Father who was later banned from America and died under mysterious circumstances. Deane, a member of the early Continental Congress, was given a task crucial to the young nation’s survival: secure its military and political alliance with France. In early 1776, Deane was assigned by the Secret Committee of Congress to “visit” France, and he quickly became a secret agent of sorts. While there, he worked to arrange military arms and other supplies from France to the Continental Army. On July 27, 1776, Deane was ...

East Germany 1989 - the march that KO'd communism Published 14 October 2019 Leipzig 1989: East Germans defy communist rule with huge demo By Laurence Peter BBC News Nobody had a mobile phone or social media to mobilise supporters back in 1989. But East Germans fed up with communism poured into the streets of Leipzig, despite extraordinary restrictions on their personal freedom. "We didn't have a phone at home - we weren't allowed, and they would have been listening in any case," recalls Katrin Hattenhauer, one of the organisers of the Monday demonstrations in Leipzig, East Germany's second city. A candle-lit mass protest on 9 October became the turning ...
RFK Jr. vs. I.F. Stone on the Kennedy Assassinations

Under the right circumstances, even an unsuccessful Presidential campaign can serve as a powerful lens for focusing public attention upon issues normally avoided by the mainstream media. I think that the success or failure of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s longshot Democratic Party primary challenge to President Joseph Biden should best be considered in such terms. Kennedy bears the name of the most famous political family in modern American history and that legacy, together with his leadership role in criticizing our controversial Covid public health policies and his #1 Amazon best-seller in 2022, quickly established him as a serious candidate in the race. The early polls gave him ...
