The Rosen Report

Several months ago, I posted two articles about the Royal Family, both here and on my Blog, the jist of which was that the scandal around Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein was much bigger than the story itself. I wrote that the House of Windsor was in an existential crisis which is tied to much larger political and strategic crises of the  British Empire and its Monarchy. I also said that we should expect even more events reflecting the spectacular unravelling of that institution.  Not surprisingly, we now can conjecture that the announcement of the departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markel is a reflection of the same dynamic. It is only secondarily related to frictions within the Royal Family, and mistreatment of Ms. Markel by the British Tabloids. As I said, there is strong reason to believe that the British Establishment, or a faction thereof, is fast tracking the ascendancy of Prince William to the Throne. As a consequence, William has become authoritative in the conduct...

So, some deep thoughts. I'm tired of hearing the News outline the running total of all lies told by Trump since elected. Not because I believe anything he has said, but because it diminishes the evil of each lie, which gets lost in the sea of 62, 496 lies that have been catalogued by CNN. It lessens the horror and moral revulsion, contributing only to the sense of fatigue and numbness that sets in.  Without hypothesis and analysis, facts, data, and information mean very little. Doctors need more than vital signs and Lab work to make a diagnosis. It requires subjective insight, not just numbers. Only those with love, passion, and empathy, can see through the fog of data to find the problem, identify it, and treat it. That is true in Medicine Politics, Science, and Economics, Government, Administration of Justice, Global relations, and human relationships. Fact checking alone will not deter a lifelong professional liar. Exposing lies alone, will not energize the opposition, because t...

Netanyahu told the US publicly to not to drag Israel into the Iran conflict, which is fairly disingenuous, given that he has been agitating for conflict with Iran, and was cheerleading for Trump's actions. He needs a National Security crisis more than Trump, since he is under indictment in Israel. Netanyahu is aware, as are Pentagon planners, that were Trump to retaliate again, Iran could launch missiles at Tel Aviv. The Israeli "Iron Dome" missile defense cannot protect Israel from High speed Iranian missiles. The next escalation could bring Israeli Nuclear weapons into play, which they have never admitted having, but certainly do. So, Trump was told to stand down by US Military leaders, and possibly Putin, because a Middle East War is too destabilizing, and unpredictable. So, he is trying to spin it today as a US victory, saying Iran is standing down.  Trump still needs a war to keep the reins of power in the name of National Security. He is desperate to do whatever is ...

Some important things to consider.  First, is that we need to begin thinking about what might be our worst possible outcomes, and scenarios, and prepare for them starting now. Start with the fact that we have a demonstrably mentally ill President, who should have been indicted, Impeached, or removed under the 25th Amendment already. That this has not happened should be an indicator that traditional concepts of politics, government, and elections no longer apply. Discussing candidates, electoral strategies, and Primaries, is akin to strategizing about or discussing a Ping Pong tournament in midst a Category 5 Tornado.  We are watching a Fascist takeover of the US Government, and facing WWIII. The form of Fascism which is taking hold is not Nazi style or even Italian style, but is uniquely American. It is not driven by Anti-Semitism, or anti-Communism. It is imbued by Racism, but not defined by it. It is a Fascism which is rooted in the deepest and ugliest form of cult Religious...

Here is a question. What is the rationale for assassinating a leader of your strategic adversary, when the Nation which he is leading is driven by fanaticism, Religious Fundamentalism, and actually glorifies Martyrdom? Conducting an assassination of someone whose successor is of the same ilk, whose policy is the same, commands the same loyalty, and which massively increases the willingness and desire of that enemy to fight and take reprisals, is one gigantic step into the Gates of Hell.  Very few people know their history these days. On May 27, 1942, the British SOE, (Special Operations Executive) headed by Sir William Stephenson, committed one of the most costly and reckless blunders of WWII, when he deployed his irregulars in Czechoslovakia to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich,  who served under Himmler as head of the Gestapo, and Chief officer of the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. Along with Adolph Eichmann, he was the main administrator of the "Final Solution" policy draf...

The average age of the 2400 soldiers who crossed the Delaware with George Washington was 18. Most of the older Soldiers gave up, either went home to try and make money selling provisions to the British for hard currency instead of Continental Scrip, or to do nothing. In some cases deserters went over to the side of the loyalists. The young soldiers were the stalwarts. They were the idealists, fighting for the future, for a cause which was just, and were willing to put it all on the line, even if it meant dying of disease and exposure. (The main cause of death for the Army) They were imperfect and not fully formed, like today. They needed some support and guidance from the Elders, like today. What they did after they won was not perfect, as it will not be now. But they are the ones who fight.  Older people today are risk averse, and not prepared to give up their comfort zones, for the most part. We can still do a lot of good, but we are not going to lead a Revolution at our age, whi...

In 1787, British East India Company propagandist Thomas Malthus released his study entitled "Essay on Population", which was a blueprint for carrying out large scale genocide and depopulation, arguing that Agricultural production increases only Arithmetically, while Population increases Geometrically, and therefore the mass starvation which was affecting British subject Colonies such as India at that time was just the result of a "natural cycle", just as was later claimed by his followers to be the case in Ireland with their Great Famine. Malthus advocated a halt to water and sewage management, as well as swamp draining in heavily populated areas, arguing that it would upend the natural order of things, because disease was necessary as " Nature's check" on population growth. Malthus' theories have always been revived by those Oligarchs who sought to justify their policies of genocide. There is a misconception, that says the best way to reduce the p...
