    Perhaps the most controversial move of Trump's presidency among his supporters has been the decision to bomb a Syria airbase in response to a nerve gas attack on a civilian population. Let's take a look at some of the positives.

    I’ve been a solid Trump supporter for some time now.  He seems to understand the dynamics around globalism. He understands how the money system is rigged against ordinary people.

  • China’s Soft Invasion Establishes another Beachhead

    Opinion
    Tim Owen

    How do we tell where the boundary lies between healthy international business relations and becoming a vassal state of a major power?

    Opinion
    Alex Eastwood-Williams

    It seems the 21st century really is an extraordinary time to be alive. Unfortunately, I don't mean that in a good way. We live in a bizarre age when men are women, women are cats, landmasses are people, but unborn people aren't people.

    Opinion
    Tim Owen

    I’ve changed my mind about New Zealand becoming a republic.  Ever since I was a kid I’ve been very 'anti-royal'. When I was 12 my Mum dropped me off at LLandaff Cathedral in Cardiff on her way to work, to see the Queen turn up.

    Opinion
    Tim Owen

    The New World Order. World Government. Conspiracy theories? Paranoia? The truth is, world government has been quietly creeping up on us for a long time.  In fact many important building blocks have been in place for decades - almost a century in some cases.
