Behind the Headlines with Paul Dragu

The Uniparty dog and pony show is coming to an end. The news is that Tucker Carlson is helping create a third party. But what he’s really doing is mainstreaming an idea that undermines a core element of the managed reality the elites have kept us in for nearly a century. He’s mainstreaming the idea that neither major party gives a crap about the American people and that both actually work toward t...

If you enjoyed my diatribe, share it with others so they can do too President Trump is taking a lot of heat for agreeing to a peace deal that is very favorable to Iran. Iran will get money for reconstruction (although not from us), have decades-long sanctions against them lifted, and they’ll emerge from this with the IRGC intact and their country more respected. In essence, this is another war we’...

Thomas Massie lost his primary race to a phantom candidate with no ideas or convictions of his own. A man who drew small, half-asleep crowds of Fox News loyalists. A man whose promise to the voters was that he would go to Washington and do what Trump and the Republican Party tell him to do, not what the people tell him to do. Assuming the election results are legitimate, it is astounding that he w...

I’m an individualist. That means I believe everyone should be judged individually , not on the basis of their skin color, their heritage, their religion, their political tribe, their education level, their income—or even their age. It’s the American way. But at the same time, there have always existed prevailing traits among groups of people who share certain commonalities. This is an undeniable r...

Think about your daily needs. Food inevitably pops into your head. The food in your typical big box grocery store has traveled long distances to get there. Our fruits and vegetables come from 10 US states and Mexico. Half the red meat on our shelves is exported by four states and all of it is processed by four big companies, two of which have foreign ties. A handful of southern states produce near...

We are barely more than a year into the new Trump administration, and talk of getting the other party in to fix this mess is stirring. This happens every time. People vote the other party in to fix the mess of the last party, then the other party takes over, fixes nothing, and the people, forgetting what happened just a couple years ago, can’t wait to get the other guys back in. Rinse and repeat....

Is the Justice Department actually interested in delivering justice against the people who created the most tyrannical period in American history? If I were a betting man, I’d hold on to most of my chips. Nevertheless, it’s encouraging to see that David Morens, a former advisor to the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), King Anthony Fauci, is charged w...

Is it a coincidence that many of the scientists who’ve been killed or disappeared were working on various disclosure agendas? As the great philosopher-turned-baseball legend, Yogi Berra, once said, “That’s too coincidental to be a coincidence.” The FBI is floating the theory that the deaths and disappearances of several top-tier scientists, people who were conducting sensitive and secret research...

I don’t remember ever taking seat belt laws seriously. That’s because I don’t believe the official justification for them. If my state government was generally interested in protecting me, it would use its limited resources to tackle issues that truly harm or endanger me and my family. The police use seat belt laws primarily to add revenue and pad their quota numbers. I recently got a ticket for n...

An unusually high number of American soldiers oppose the war in Iran on moral grounds. Nonprofits that speak to soldiers such as the Center on Conscience & War reported a 1,000% increase in conscientious objector calls since the US launched its joint war against Iran. For many service members, the American strike on the Minab school was the “breaking point.” Others said they began to feel uneasy l...

The president may be coming to his senses. Maybe. Or—or!—maybe he just says he wants to end the Iran war to cool the frenzied oil markets. Hopefully, however, he really does want to end the war. Hopefully, what he said during his press conference on Monday is true. The faster we leave Iran, the better. As usual with these Middle Eastern sand traps, the American people have gained absolutely nothin...

I’m crushed. I had more faith in “conservatives.” I thought they had principles, that they were more than partisan automaton. It turns out I was wrong. Read my magazine articles What Is the Iran War Really About? Paul Dragu is an award-winning newspaper journalist, a senior writer at The New American magazine, and the collaborative writer of Defector: A True Story of Tyranny, Liberty, and Purpose...

Bill Gates is in damage control mode, another causality of the Epstein Files release. This week, he owned up to his extramarital philandering when he addressed Gates Foundation staff. But his version of what happened is a little different from the version that was coursing through the news ecosystem. Yes, he had affairs with Russian females, but it wasn’t prostitutes. Given his sociopathic pattern...

I remember the excitement and optimism coursing through conservatize America when Donald Trump arrived on the political scene. It was refreshing to hear a presidential candidate acknowledge that the Establishment power structure was made up of war-loving liars who intentionally inundated American cities with third world migrants. People loved how Trump outplayed the media at their own game. They l...

Trump supporters did not vote for war with Iran. They didn’t vote for any military action against Iran—or any other country. In fact, Trump ran on the promise that he would be different from the warmongering neocons. He would be a president of peace. That means “no new wars.” Remember that? No new wars. Soooo …. why then are we about to go to war with Iran? Apparently, the Iranians will obtain a n...

In 1919, a man named Rudolf Steiner delivered a lecture titled “The Ahrimanic Deception.” Ahriman refers to an ancient demon Steiner predicted would manifest “in all things physical — especially human technologies.” Steiner predicted this would happen sometimes around, well … now. In 2014, tech guru Elon Musk warned that AI technology was a conduit for demonic activity. He said: “With artificial i...

Unlike the brutal scolding Vice President JD Vance delivered to the European elites gathered at the Munich Security Conference last year, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was much nicer to the old world elite. Instead of chiding them for becoming the tyrants their ancestors fought, he gently encouraged them to embrace and restore their great heritage. Rubio said America planned to revive its rich Eu...

Remember when most people use to think that everyone who believed the world was run by shadowy dark forces were conspiracy nuts? That age is coming to an end. We have lived in a managed reality or a long time, but the last six years have red-pilled a massive amount of people to what is truly happening. I recently ran across the meme below, which does a good job of articulating this sentiment: But...

Isn’t it weird that our government keeps telling us to move on and forget about the criminality implied in the Epstein files? What kind of leaders tell the people they’re charged with serving to stop being outraged about an international rape network that involves some of the most powerful people in the world? That’s more than weird. That’s something far worse … It seems the people telling us to m...

It’s always great news when a legacy media organ suffers a hit. In this case, it’s The Washington Post , which has been around since the 19th century. The Post has been a major cog in the Mockingbird Media machine. One of its own editors admitted in the 90s that the newspaper didn’t just report on policy— it shaped it. Fortunately, it will be able to do less of that since it’s losing 30 percent of...

Trump is not even one year into this term and the coalition he has led for 10 years is in danger of completely collapsing. His neocon foreign policy, deficit spending, and attempt to make the Epstein saga go away without further transparency has alienated his most devoted supporters? Can he come back from this? Will he correct course? Related reads Trump Turns on MTG as MAGA Implosion Continues MT...

The internet, especially the social media part of it, has turned politics into a soap opera. The latest episode centers around Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes. Carlson did another bad thing by talking to another bad person he wasn’t supposed to. The narrative gatekeepers always lose their minds when respectable people talk to the banished. They did this when Tucker talked to Putin, an...

Have you noticed the massive increase in mainstream UFO-alien coverage lately? Between nonstop chatter about 3I/Atlas, thousands of reports of UFO sightings on the Enigma app, and congressional hearings on UAPs, UFO talk has increased significantly. Moreover a polished documentary featuring lawmakers and a slew of “former” national security officials is debuting later this month. Something is goin...

Bill Gates doesn’t think climate change poses a disastrous threat to humanity, anymore—like he’d been saying it does for more than a decade. He recently said this on his blog: “Climate change is not the biggest threat to the lives and livelihoods of people in poor countries, and it won’t be in the future,” he said. He said something else that made sense. He suggested that people with money and inf...

Globalists want a world war. It would devastate the planet and render the people left alive so desperate for stability that they would accept any system that resembles order. That's when they'd swoop in with the answer: World Government. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told President Donald Trump that Russia is not Iran. The high-ranking Russian official flung off a rare but outright thre...
