US Regime Change and its Armies of "Garbage"

Thank you, readers!
Last Thursday I asked those who've read my books, particularly the Maxwell Saga, to give me their views on whether, and/or how, to continue that series, or replace it, or take another direction. As I write these words, there have been 40 comments on that post, and I've received 23 e-mails offering additional perspectives. That's a great response! Thank you all very much. The consensus seems clear. I'll include Steve Maxwell as a "visiting character" in other books and series, as he continues his rise up through the ranks in the Lancastrian Commonwealth Fleet, but I won't pursue... more »

A Very English Cover Up
*A Very English Scandal* is a triumph for the BBC. Russell T Davies's dramatisation of the murderous conspiracy with former Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe at its heart was one of the most gripping dramas I've seen in years. And that was despite the story and its (seeming) conclusion being well known. It's natural such a heavily trailed piece would also spark further interest in the Thorpe affair, including the first showing of Tom Mangold's *Panorama* canned in 1979 after Thorpe and co. were found not guilty. And it has also transpired that Andrew Newton, the putative hit man hired to... more »

Let Us Talk About Maple Syrup (My Personal Trade War Story)
*Reuters:* *With maple syrup tariff, Canada-U.S. trade dispute spills beyond metals* TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada’s retaliation against U.S. President Donald Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs includes proposed duties on maple syrup, a nod to a national symbol and a powerful industry in the French-speaking province of Quebec that could hurt producers in Maine. While small in dollar value, the tariff shows how Canada’s retaliation has turned a dispute over metals into a broader conflict, touching many sectors. Quebec, Canada’s second-largest province by population, accounted for abo... more »

He began: Beneath the veneer of national identity, England is a rich tapestry of ancient allegiances and rivalries. So, yes, English national identity is a "veneer", apparently (well, according to the BBC's Mark Easton at least). And, given that four years ago I titled one of my pieces... more »

But is this really about defense of Europe, as the US military claims, or is it more about keeping the big US defense contractors fat and happy? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:

More on the eternal presence of the ERA for tarification
Is it unconstitutional for Congress to criminalize tax evasion (or even more certainly, lying to an F.B.I. agent as was done by Martha Stewart)? The answer is surely yes if, as a careful lawyer, one notes that the Framers, in their undoubtedly infinite wisdom, specified the three (and only three) actions that are subject to criminalization, i.e., counterfeiting, piracy, and treason. (Perhaps one can also defend courts martial and the jailing of service-oriented miscreants.) Why might they have done this?
