International Man: We've entered October, a month that has a history of producing surprise events that can change the course of an election. With the country already facing economic, political, and geopolitical turmoil, what are you expecting?
Doug Casey: You'll recall what Mark Twain said many years ago. Something along the lines of "the most dangerous month in the stock market is October.

Note: This is a blast from the past article that I published 3 years ago in November of 2023. As Jon Bon Jovi so eloquently put it - "It's all the same, only the names will change, everyday it seems we're wasting away. Another place, where the faces are so cold, I'd drive all night just to get back home." Yes, the names have changed, but all remains the same, as the drive toward tyranny, totalitarianism, and technocracy advances unabated.

"National conservatism" is the latest in a long line of re-branded conservative groups which attempts to explain to the world how they are oh-so-very different from the conservatives who came before them. Back in in the 1990s, it was the paleoconservatives who claimed to be something new. Nowadays, the few remnants of the paleoconservatives movement, such as Paul Gottfried and Daniel McCarthy, spend their time telling us to vote Republican, or to trust the president and to generally just sign off on whatever the Republicans are doing.

L'inquiétude grandit autour du Pentagone : alors que les États-Unis mènent une guerre prolongée avec l'Iran, le ministre de la Défense, Pete Hegseth, est confronté à des critiques de plus en plus virulentes de la part des militaires et des experts. Le problème ne se limite plus à des erreurs isolées : l'ensemble du système de gestion de l'armée américaine est remis en question.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Social Security Administration now estimate that the Social Security's retirement trust fund is projected to run out of reserves in 2032 under current law. Or, put another way, according tothe trustees' report: "the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until the fourth quarter of 2032." After that, Social Security recipients will be looking at cuts, unless, of course, the law is changed to allot more tax money to the program.

"That it is better 100 guilty persons should escape, than that one innocent person should suffer." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
The hardest decision a government prosecutor may ever face is also one of the most important tests of the rule of law: What do you do when you believe a crime occurred, and you believe you know who committed it, but you do not believe you can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty?

Multiculturalism as a subversive movement is the defining political schism of our time. Is is the fulcrum point for numerous civilization changing events and a direct trigger for the exponential decline of the western world. Anyone who ignores the effects of multiculturalism will be oblivious to the many disruptions coming to our lives today and in the near future.

Why MAHA Is Fracturing
It now seems clear that the Make America Healthy Again movement is fracturing because its leaders chose power over principle, and the people who built this coalition are now watching it get hijacked by the very institutions the health freedom pioneers set out to dismantle. What began as a genuine grassroots revolt against pharmaceutical corruption, chronic disease profiteering, and regulatory capture has curdled into exactly the kind of insider game that always protects access and influence while the true believers get thrown under the bus.

Brèves de crise
Bien entendu que les midterms de 2026 jouent un rôle politique essentiel puisque nous nous trouvons au cœur d'une crise considérable de l'américanisme. L'enjeu est, tout aussi évidemment, la question du pouvoir du président Trump et de ses différentes initiatives considérées comme autant éléments de crise : rien dans l'action de Trump n'échappe à cette référence crisique.

Dorothy Day's own post-conversion writings and actions might be enough to disqualify her from consideration for canonization by the Church - save for an ulterior agenda behind the effort.

The 1970s

Late October in northern Virginia carries a specific quality of light, thin and metallic, as if the sun itself has begun to withdraw from the coming winter. On the morning of October 30, 1989, this light fell across the loading dock of a commercial building on the outskirts of Reston, Virginia, where a freight truck from John F. Kennedy International Airport had arrived after driving through the night.

Writes Ginny Garner:
Dolly Parton rarely talked politics because she was a smart and successful business woman who understood she was an entertainer, not a political advisor, and she didn't want to alienate her fans who had varying political views. But even though she was a patriotic American she was definitely antiwar and I believe a libertarian. In 2005 she released the bluegrass flavored album "Those Were the Days" that included antiwar songs "The Cruel War," "Blowin' in the Wind," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"and "Imagine." In a 2023 interview she was asked about her lyrics in her song "World on Fire." She flatly said all politicians were greedy.

Ina 2007 interview, Lew Rockwell was asked if he considered himself to be a libertarian. The context of the questions was the same then as it would be today for the same question. The question is really this: do you still call yourself a libertarian in spite of all the beltway, pro-government, pro-state intellectuals and activists who also call themselves libertarians ? Rockwell answers "yes" because, of the reasons that he states below.
