Did North Korea Flinch?
I genuinely love South Korea. I was stationed there in 1999 to 2000. My wife is Korean, and I traveled everywhere I could in the nation. While my base was far from the DMZ, Seoul-the South’s capital city, was within artillery range of the DPRK’s (The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, i.e. North Korea) guns. Whenever I traveled to Seoul I couldn’t help thinking this beautiful city with all its 20 million inhabitants could be cast into oblivion at any moment. For the South Korean people, this was just a fact of life. But for me, an American, that thought made me very uncomfortable.

The Shadow Masters
As the world continues to spin out of control there are explicit warning signs pointing to the greatest financial and economic collapse in history. Yet, there remains no mention of this impending disaster of epic proportions by our President, our elected officials or the media. But, to really understand how this lethal financial catastrophe is already knocking at our front door we first have to trace the root causes of where, why, and how such a economic disaster has come into being. Remember Soylent Green where Charlton Heston set out to solve one crime only to find out that crime was related to a much more sinister and diabolical plot. A hidden secret so hideous nobody could believe what was actually happening. In the movie that secret was the hidden source of the world's food supply. We can use that type of scenario to uncover the largest cover up and hidden agenda in the history of the world.

Lincoln A 'Tyrant' Like Hitler?
When it comes to comparing Abraham Lincoln to anyone, Adolf Hitler doesn't necessarily come to mind. In fact, Lincoln is often frequently cited as one of the United States most legendary leaders, while Hitler is rightfully considered one of the worst.

Trump: "We’re not going into Syria"
President Trump seems to have put to rest fears that he was considering escalating the war in Syria. “We’re not going into Syria,” he said in an exclusive interview. “Our policy is the same — it hasn’t changed. We’re not going into Syria.”

Does Religion Affect Politics?
Religion. No doubt. No questioning. Politics. Always Oppose. Always Question. So why do these always seem to go together, why is it that many voters vote in favour of their religion rather than the policies. Why do Americans prefer a Christian, Jew, Sikh or Muslim to represent their state rather than an Athiest? If they do at all. Does a person of religion make a better politician?

To Jeff Sessions, With Love
Dear Mr. Sessions, I was born and raised in the great state of Alabama and most of my, if not all of my life you have been a senator or political figure in the state. I grew up on a farm in rural north Alabama, going to a small school with only roughly 68 people in my graduating class. I obeyed the states laws and I attempted to bet he best citizen I could be.

Syria Could become Trump’s Vietnam
In a striking policy 180-degree change, President Trump launched a punitive missile strike on the base he believes launched a chemical weapons attack on civilians earlier in the week. This policy shift could lead to yet another neo-con sponsored war in the middle east.

Do We Live to Learn or Learn to Live?
These type of questions, the existential type, are the most controversial ones in most of our minds. We constantly try to elucidate them by looking at both sides and trying to decide which one of the two is better or perhaps more exact. But what if I told you that trying to find the answer this way is wrong?
