"The Grand Chessboard"
*"The Grand Chessboard"* by Chris MacIntosh "In 1997, geopolitical advisor to David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, wrote a book, called "The Grand Chessboard." The book is particularly interesting as it shows the thinking of the Rockefeller empire in regards to Eurasia. Consider the following, which provides some insight into their view of Eurasia and how to control it (actually the very idea of controlling it provides insight into their lust for power): "For America, the chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia." "Ever since the continents started interacting politically, some five ... read more

"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth, more than ruin, more even than death.

On Dalrymple’s False History of 1857
For William Dalrymple historical importance is a question of religion: he ignores the role that the Hindus played in India’s history, and he overhypes the deeds of the Islamic rulers and warlords. The nineteenth century India that he visualizes in his book *The Last Mughal*, the Hindus are depicted as fringe elements from whom no cultural and political achievements can be expected. Every cultural and political achievement that he describes in his book is Islamic. *The Last Mughal* reads like a paean to the Mughal dynasty and a hagiography of the so-called last Mughal, Bahadur Shah ... read more

MISLEADING AND MISLED: We heard the quiet part spoken out loud!
*FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 2022* *Our need for a federal indictment:* Last evening, late in The 11th Hour, a rising pundit, Juanita Tolliver, said the quiet part right out loud. Presumably based upon her fees as a political strategist, Tolliver seems to live in the palace at Versailles. (We base that assessment on the standard backdrop one sees when she appears by remote.) Judged by prevailing norms, Tolliver may well be a highly capable political strategist. At any rate, her statement on last evening's program struck us as highly instructive.

Will A Taiwan Invasion Be Too Costly For China To Undertake?
