In 2009, I published An American Warning, a poorly written book (I wasn’t the best writer back then—or now) that outlined a forecast of emerging global threats and the dangers they pose to Americans. This was followed up with another book in 2014, Reloaded: An American Warning, which was a stronger warning about how rapidly […]
A reader recently emailed me with an insightful question: “Why does the Right always seem to be on the defensive? Also, why are conservatives, libertarians, and other ideological dissenters constantly forced to justify themselves against accusations rather than setting the terms of debate?” That’s a sharp observation, and while the answer isn’t simple, it definitely […]
Throughout history, society has faced the persistent threat of corruption, oppression, and tyranny. Many assume these dangers stem from malevolent individuals acting with intent. In fact, you were probably taught this much in school. However, what you likely weren’t taught in school is how stupidity, either individually or of the masses, may be one of the […]
A recent conversation with a friend compelled me to write this article. I want to share with you what I told him about corruption and oversight. Look, the “machine” wants you to believe that the real issue with recent government audits and investigations isn’t about corruption or incompetence—it’s procedural overreach. The argument goes like this: […]
I received a great email from a reader who asked a series of rather profound questions. I thought it might make a great article. The email read, “Dr. Dave! I read your article on the collusion of power. Great article! But I’ve done some research on the matter, and unfortunately, I continually find conflicting information. […]
What are your core values? Are you willing to defend them? Are you willing to change them if someone you trusted asked you to? Are you willing to compromise them for the sake of convenience or to avoid a fight? Let’s find out. If you have followed my work, you probably know that the ascent […]
There is an ‘Echo of Empires’ that we should be mindful of. Indeed, history repeats, providing essential insights into our present and future. I’ll just be blunt and say that the United States is not immune from the cycles of history, nor the political manipulations that ensure their continuation. Sure, we could compare the United […]
Bias in modern education (and the world) is a very real thing. Finding ‘truth’ when so many are trying to hide it can be difficult. This is to say that accessing unbiased and balanced knowledge has become a significant challenge these days. The rise of biased algorithms, agenda-driven curricula, and information overload make it increasingly […]
American politics is often painted as a battleground between the left and right, each side accusing the other of being the source of societal woes. However, in many ways, this dichotomy is really nothing short of a distraction from a more insidious alliance: the collusion between corrupt politicians, big banks, mega-corporations, and the institutions (and […]
In our search for truth and accuracy, many individuals often find themselves hindered by cognitive biases that impede their ability to discard inaccurate information and progress their knowledge. I contend that if we can gain a deeper understanding of the obstacles to intellectual growth, we can also develop strategies to overcome them. So, today, I […]
