Since the beginning of time, the rich, the powerful, and the megalomaniacal have all built shrines to their own self-importance. Think the pyramids. The Palace of Versailles. Any investment banker's home in the Hamptons.. . .We couldn’t help but notice a striking similarity in the decorating palate of two demagogues: Donald Trump, the putative Republican nominee for president of the United States, and the late Saddam Hussein, the former president, prime minister, and chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council of the Republic of Iraq.In comparing the palatial estates of Donald Trump and Saddam Hussein, what better place to start than magnificent stairways. Every demagogue needs one; it’s part of the essential decor package, imperative for Making an Entrance, issuing grand pronouncements, or in the inevitable Hollywood biopic, raining indiscriminate hellfire down upon disloyal minions from a gold-plated AK-47, staving off a palace coup.

James Traficant's Last Public Speech
II.
"We've lost the country and it's going to get worse. Now everybody up here talking different politics. I want to say one thing while I'm here. I know how they do things down there, what they're doing, and what they're thinking before they do it. For example, they did not want Barack. They wanted Hillary. They kept Gore out, they kept Kerry out, and said there's no way this black guy with a Muslim name from Chicago is going to beat our girl. They didn't want Barack Obama. And I'll say one thing for him now. He has kept us out of war. And if you would've had Clinton or Romney your sons and daughters would be coming back in body bags right now.
Now I want to say this because this gets really controversial. They wanted George Bush to initiate war with Iran so that when Hillary comes in she wouldn't have the burden of the war, she could say I inherited it and I'm prosecuting it. They could fool these people. Can't fool me. When they realized they may not be able to beat Barack Obama the Clintons took him to AIPAC, American Israel Public Affairs Committee. They're so powerful they damn near control Congress. In the late 80s, early 90s, they fired a top ranking woman, she gave a whistle blower's account of their political activity. The top political target in the world was James Traficant of Youngstown, Ohio. . .I've been labeled an anti-Semite. And I certainly am not. But I will tell it like it is. Israel has gotten so much power they've started to control the election process in this country. It's no good. Guys like me, I couldn't raise a dollar.
But I looked at our country. I looked at the misery. The unfairness. We're all slaves. We've joined our black brothers from years gone by. We're slaves to a tax system. Think about everything we've talked about. All these forms you've seen. . . Why do we have a sixteenth amendment? First of all, I'm not going to get into the legality. It makes no difference if it's legal. Powers that be made it legal. We have the sixteenth amendment because when they first come with the income tax it was taken to the Supreme Court and it was stricken down. Unconstitutional. The founders did not want your personal industry, your labour, to ever be taxed. It was only supposed to be, what, the top 1 percent gonna be taxed? And all the little people, 'Yeah, go get them,' and every election, 'Yeah, raise the taxes on the rich.' What a joke. Those richest get more tax breaks after it's over and you pay more taxes." - James Traficant, an excerpt from his speech in the video below.

Hitler On Ukraine, Stalin, How Wars Kill Off The Best, And On Aliens Landing In America
Hitler was a racist son of a bitch but man he made a lot of interesting observations regarding human nature, power politics, geopolitics, war, and the art of ruling in general. He was no dummy, that's for sure. There's a lot of wisdom to be mined.
Below are excerpts from, "Hitler's Table Talk" Enigma Books, 2000.
On Ukraine. Pg. 623-24:
There are here a million tons of wheat in reserve from last year's harvest. Just think what it will be like when we get things properly organised, and the oil-wells are in our possession! This Ukraine produces thirteen or fourteen million tons a year. Even if we show ourselves to be half as successful as organisers as the Russians—there's a cool six million for us ! Next year, after the next harvest, we must organise thoroughly and work at full speed ! One thing which we have so far not taken into account is the fact that every three days there is a thunderstorm. This country is a regular forcing-house; fifty degrees of heat one moment, then a torrent of rain, and then the heat again ! Had it not been for the mud and rain last October, we should have been in Moscow in no time. We have now learnt that the moment the rain comes, we must stop everything.
When the war ends, the German people need not bother its head about what it is going to do during the next fifty years ! We shall become the most self-supporting State, in every respect, including cotton, in the world. The only thing we shall not have will be a coffee plantation—but we'll find a coffee growing colony somewhere or other! Timber we shall have in abundance, iron in limitless quantity, the greatest manganeseore mines in the world, oil—we shall swim in it! And to handle it all, the whole strength of the entire German man-power! By God ! how right the peasant is to put his trust solely in the earth ! What's the use of talking about scenic beauty, when the earth is oozing with wealth ! In the future, it will be a pleasure to work ! Stalin is half beast, half giant. To the social side of life he is utterly indifferent. The people can rot, for all he cares. If we had given him another ten years, Europe would have been swept away, as it was at the time of the Huns. Without the German Wehrmacht, it would have been all up with Europe even now. The doors of the Continent would have been flung open for him by the idiocy of the masses. The worst of our winters is now behind us. In a hundred years' time there will be millions of German peasants living here.
On Stalin. Pg. 657:
Had he been given the time, Stalin would have made of Russia a super-industrialised monster, completely contrary to the interests of the masses, but justified by demagogic pedantry and designed to raise the standard of life for his own particular partisans. His final objective would have been the absorbing of the whole of Europe into the Bolshevik ring. He is a beast, but he's a beast on the grand scale. He made use of the Jews to eliminate the intelligentsia of the Ukraine, and then exported the Jews by trainloads to Siberia. I think it quite possible that he will go off to China, when he sees no other way of escape open to him.
On war killing off the best of every generation. Pg. 639:
Every war gives rise to a species of selectivity in reverse; the finest and fittest perish by the thousand. Even among the brave the choice of arm of the services constitutes a sort of super-selective process, the bravest of the brave going for Air Force and the submarine service. And then, in all branches of the service the call is continual: "Who volunteers for . . .?" and always gallant men come forward—and die. In time, then, there remains only the rascal living in peace and security. The man who is sent to prison has the certainty that nothing further can befall him. If this process is allowed to continue for three or four years, it will upset the whole equilibrium of the nation.
Prison is no longer a hardship ; on the Volkhov front men lie not on a bunk as in prison, but in the icy water, exposed to the winds, sleepless, often without food or hope of relief.
A people, taken en masse, is neither wholly good nor wholly bad. It possesses neither the courage to be wholly admirable nor the wickedness to be wholly evil. It is the extremes at each end of the scale that decide the level of the average. If the good are decimated while the evil are preserved, then it is quite possible, as happened in Germany in 1918, for a handful of a few hundred evil vagabonds to do violence to a whole nation.
On aliens landing in America. Pg. 646:
It makes me laugh when I think what consternation would be caused among us humans if the news suddenly announced that an inter-planetary ship had landed in America ! All our earthly little wars would stop immediately!
Joseph Atwill On The Epstein Revelations
"The Epstein revelations are really clarifying. I hope everyone spends enough time with them to understand the malevolence of the ruling class and its use of sophistry. . .When you see the Epstein material and you see the entire political class is engaged in grotesque malevolence, that's the physical manifestation of something. But the other thing is not visible, which is to say the ruling class has to use sophistry in order to be able to behave like this. They can't possibly behave like this if the citizenry were alert and asking questions and demanding rational explanations. So the sophistry is really what I think is the important thing about the Epstein revelations, not the gruesome activities. It's the fact that they're lying to us.
When you see the pictures of cannibalism, and the whole collection of these individuals, like Mick Jagger sitting next to Jeffrey Epstein, and Bill Clinton next to him, you see that they are a group that has an understanding of themselves and behavior of which the common person doesn't. All of the oligarchs, the media oligarchs, the political oligarchs, and the financial oligarchs, they're all one group. They need to be understood as a group, and how they basically shape consciousness for their ability to control the public.
I am hopeful that with the revelations there will be more energy on the part of the public to go forward with the process to expose these people and their sophistry and make some political changes." - author Joseph Atwill, an excerpt from the interview below.

Canada Is Going Down The Drain
"Today I will talk about a rupture in the world order, the end of a pleasant fiction and the beginning of a harsh reality, where geopolitics, where the large, main power, geopolitics, is submitted to no limits, no constraints.
On the other hand, I would like to tell you that the other countries, especially intermediate powers like Canada, are not powerless. They have the capacity to build a new order that encompasses our values, such as respect for human rights, sustainable development, solidarity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the various states.
. . .Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration, when integration becomes the source of your subordination.
The multilateral institutions on which the middle powers have relied – the WTO, the UN, the COP – the architecture, the very architecture of collective problem solving are under threat. And as a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions that they must develop greater strategic autonomy, in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance and supply chains.
And this impulse is understandable. A country that can't feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself, has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.
. . .We are taking the sign out of the window. We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy, but we believe that from the fracture, we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just. This is the task of the middle powers, the countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and most to gain from genuine cooperation.
The powerful have their power.
But we have something too – the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home and to act together." - Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England, January 20, 2026, Davos.
Donald Trump is an awful salesman, because had he approached the Canadian public with respect and a little more decorum his offer to make Canada a territory of the United States would have been better received. Instead he produced insults, talking about Canada as a possible 51st state.
There existed a political opening to unite the two countries into one political and economic system, which would be beneficial for both.
The perverted clown fumbled.
Trump's America is a slave state. We know that. The dollar won't be king forever. But at least freedom of speech is rhetorically defended by American politicians.
Canadian politicians are making dangerous statements regarding free speech. They want Canadians to shut up, and not protest as Canada goes down the drain.
Carney's Canada is a not a country but a massive failing social experiment. We are ruled by cultic leftist ideologues who are implementing eugenics, transgender ideology, mass migration, and in the near future, a social credit system.
The communists and bankers in charge are keeping the country artificially poor, taxing it to death, because in their twisted minds sustainable development is not possible without mass poverty.
