Past politicians, legislation and political movements have changed the course of history in ways both big and small. Welcome to our blast to the past.
Dynasties of minions in service of the Grey Pope
In a world where the facade of democracy masks the omnipotence of oligarchy, a hidden hierarchy allegedly dictates the course of history from the Vatican, with Domenico Napoleone Orsini – the 22nd Duke of Gravina – the grey pope and puppetmaster behind the curtain concealing the spheres of influence that shape our world.

From Zoroaster to the Saturnalian Brotherhood
There must be a tablet, scroll or tome buried by the passage of time that answers the question of the identity of the 13 bloodlines that allegedly rule the world but in three days of laborious online research and a visit to the library I’m yet to find anything coherent that satisfies my curiosity about the subject.

By Elliott J. Schuchardt For more than six decades, the United States government has loudly and officially claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin of President John F. Kennedy. This narrative has stood as a monument to governmental convenience over historical truth.

The Perils of Entanglement
For decades, United States foreign policy in East Asia has been anchored to an increasingly hazardous premise: that Washington must guarantee the security of Taiwan against the People’s Republic of China (PRC). On the surface, the United States claims to support an East-Asian democracy against mainland China. The reality is not so benign. For the past 75 years, the United States has needlessly interfered in the Chinese civil war. As global dynamics shift and the risk of conflict escalates, Washington must reassess its commitment to Taiwan. To avoid a potentially dangerous confrontation, the United States must cease its military and political backing of Taiwan.

The Missing Argument in the Stay-at-Home Parent Subsidy Debate
Preface: Video Context: Video Credit: Timcast / Tim Pool This article is a response to a recent Timcast segment discussing the proposed policy that would allow qualifying married couples with a stay-at-home parent to receive childcare subsidies of roughly $9,000 per child per year. The video frames the central debate around whether this amounts to additional welfare or whether it simply redirects money government is already spending on childcare toward parents who choose to provide that care themselves. Around 9:32–10:20 , Tim argues that the welfare expenditure already exists and that the important change is where the incentive points: instead of subsidizing families specifically when parents work and children are cared for elsewhere, the same funding could begin supporting married parents who raise their children at home.
