February 10, 2024 by
On December 7, our friends at The New York Times gave us this headline: âRussiaâs Latest Disinformation Tactic Exploits American Celebrities.â According to the article, the Russians have tricked up videos from Elijah Wood, Priscilla Presley, Mike Tyson, and other D-listers, making it seem that they are delivering pro-Kremlin propaganda points. How, exactly, have the
Pinkerton: Bringing the War on Terror Home to Target Americans for âDisinformationâ
July 4, 2023 by
The Hoax of the Century? The U.S. government took the information techniques it learned after 9/11 and has turned them on Americans. America may have lost the Great War on Terror, but our technocratic elites could still win their war against American liberty. Thatâs the argument made by Jacob Siegel in a 13,000-word Tablet magazine article titled âA
Pinkerton: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Takes on the Uniparty with a Pledge to Put Americans First
June 26, 2023 by
Dysfunction and Disjunction Joe Biden, 46th president, is a weak Democratic incumbent. Five decades ago, Jimmy Carter, 39th president, was a weak Democratic incumbent. And now, both will be remembered for having been challenged for renomination by a Kennedy. The similarities between Biden and Carter are striking. In fact, beginning on April 10, 2021, this

Go Woke, Go Bust Oh so woke, oh so green, oh so diverse Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) just went bust. One can go to its websiteâstill up for who knows how much longerâand see that it claims assets of $212 billion. But as they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall; and SVB makes
Pinkerton: The Greens Arenât Just Coming for Your Gas-Powered CarâTheyâre Coming for All Cars
March 5, 2023 by
Greens (and Reds) Donât Like Cars, Period Late last month, Joe Biden was mocked for posting a photo of himself in an electric vehicle (a GMC Hummer) that costs $110,000 and up. And for touting a $7,500 federal tax credit that doesnât apply to vehicles that cost over $80,000. In other words, the 46th president was ripped
Pinkerton: 1989: Fall of the Berlin Wall; 2022: Fall of the Covid Wall
February 4, 2023 by
A Crack in the Great Covid Wall of China We can now see that the fight against Covid lockdowns is global. The official liberal narrativeâthat opposition to lockdowns was just âRon Death Santisâ and cranky ultra-conservatives in red statesâhas long since been shot to hell. For freedom-loving Americans, itâs heartening to know that people all over
