Hitler didn’t have AI, but he employed the same playbook that Trump uses every single day

By Paul Woodward — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 02:07:17 +0000

Another day, another outrage. How Hitler used outrageous behavior to distract the German establishment. Google’s AI offers this overview: Hitler utilized a strategy of manufactured crises, constant scandalous behavior, and extreme rhetoric to disorient, distract, and eventually dominate the traditional German establishment—including conservative politicians, military leaders, and the press—between 1930 and 1934. By creating an atmosphere of perpetual chaos, Hitler compelled the elite to react to immediate “emergencies,” preventing them from organizing effective opposition to his true goal of dismantling...

The chief liars are directly complicit in the deaths that just happened and in any deaths to come

By Paul Woodward — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:18:42 +0000

J.D. Vance (who obtained his Juris Doctor from Yale Law School in May 2013 and was admitted to the bar in Kentucky later that year) lied after Renee Good’s murder when he made this baseless declaration: “You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That’s a federal issue. That guy’s protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job.” Should we not assume that the federal agents who murdered Alex Pretti believed that they...

As Trump loses support from defenders of 2nd Amendment, his last redoubt is unbridled fascism

By Paul Woodward — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 00:38:50 +0000

Funny how the “shall not be infringed” crowd suddenly forgets the Second Amendment the moment it’s inconvenient. The man had a carry permit — and now Trump’s line is “only criminals carry guns.”So which is it? A constitutional right, or a talking point you drop when the facts… pic.twitter.com/68HitgmUnl — House Of Carter🇺🇸 (@House0fCarter) January 25, 2026 Kristi Noem’s 2023 NRA Speech: Noem 2023 NRA Speech: We have been here before.

Roger Stone, Trump, the libertarian fantasy of Próspera, and the release of a convicted drug lord

By Paul Woodward — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 02:08:59 +0000

Reuters reports: President Donald Trump, who has cast himself as a relentless foe of illegal drugs, pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, freeing him from a 45-year sentence for conspiring to import tons of cocaine into the United States. Trump’s extraordinary move undermines decades of U.S. efforts to combat transnational drug networks, potentially damages Washington’s credibility in Latin America, and signals to corrupt actors that political connections can outweigh criminal accountability. Trump signed the pardon for Hernandez on Monday...

Trump’s ‘reversal’ on Epstein files delays their release and conceals a GOP rebellion

By Paul Woodward — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 01:25:06 +0000

Axios reports: President Trump said Monday he would sign a bill to release documents from the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein if Congress sends it to his desk. Why it matters: Trump recently reversed himself and encouraged Republicans to vote to release the documents after repeatedly dismissing the scandal as a “hoax.” What he’s saying: “Sure I would. Let the Senate look at it. Let anyone look at it, but don’t talk about it too much,” Trump said Monday in the Oval Office in response to...

The historical significance of the Trump-Epstein scandal: the degradation of humanity

By Paul Woodward — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 00:17:06 +0000

In the thicket of daily news, it’s often hard to place events within a broad historical context. Indeed, during periods of rapid change the present can feel like it is perpetually erasing the past. We fixate on the now and the what next? and rather than becoming illuminated, get sucked into a black hole of actions stripped of meaning. For this reason, the perspective of a scholar such as Sean Wilentz, the George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American...

Rejecting injustice: The jury’s role in a politicized justice system

In “Operation Midway Blitz” — an operation that was clearly scripted as a piece of political propaganda (including an action-movie soundtrack) rather than an exercise in law enforcement — Bovino cast himself in the starring role: DHS law enforcement has made OVER 900 ARRESTS during Operation Midway Blitz in Illinois.

State terrorism: Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling

By Paul Woodward — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 00:00:14 +0000

In a ruling he issued this week, William G. Young, a senior U.S. district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, wrote: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence.” Terrorize — not my word, but that of a federal judge appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1985. In U.S. law (22 U.S.C. 2656f(d)(2)) terrorism is defined as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine...

Resignation letters from CDC leaders as hundreds of Americans are still dying from Covid

By Paul Woodward — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 01:30:08 +0000

In late January, 2021, almost 24,000 Americans died from Covid in a single week. Less than five years later, the pandemic somehow appears to be part of the distant past. Over the last 28 days, 22 people have been killed in mass shootings across America. During the same period, there have been 672 deaths from Covid — almost three quarters of the number of Covid deaths recorded globally. For the 2024–2025 season, the CDC reported that less than 25% of...

Video of the arrest of Amanda Trebach, a member of the immigrant rights’ group Unión del Barrio and an ICU nurse, who was monitoring ICE operations in the Los Angeles, begs many questions not the least of which is this: who is ICE recruiting? “Yanis Varoufuckice” recently attended a Department of Homeland Security job fair at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Virginia where they spent two days talking to people looking for jobs with ICE: One of the...
