I will boldly suggest that this cabal is actually controlling the executive branch of the government, and doing it wit...

38 years ago today, President Ronald Reagan shocked the U.S., European, and Soviet establishments by announcing a policy Lyndon LaRouche had been developing and promoting for years, a crash program to develop beam defense systems capable of defeating nuclear missiles—what Reagan called the Strategic Defense Initiative.

The recently released unclassified version of an intelligence assessment on foreign attempts to influence the 2020 U.S. election deserves more attention than it has gotten, as a corrective to still all-too-prevalent misconceptions on the subject. A central judgment of the assessment is that the Russian government of Vladimir Putin, which had actively intervened in the 2016 el...
