  Herland Report: Western Civilization Ceasing to Exist: I often explain that we are losing civilization. The risks come from many sources.  Among them is the growing risk of nuclear war; the rising police state in which behavior protected by the Constitution is criminalized despite the Constitution; unity supplanted by a Tower of Babel; fomented race and gender hatreds that …

  Herland Report: Financial Collapse: Financial experts and insiders have, for well over a decade, warned that a collapse of the U.S. currency is a mathematical inevitability, and this collapse will have global ramifications, as the dollar is the world’s reserve currency. U.S. inflation is currently at 8.3%, but in some markets, it’s in the double digits. Used car sales, …

  Herland Report: American Collapse: Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi are America’s best journalists. They are not talking heads on CNN or voices on NPR and they are not permitted to write for the New York Times. Moreover, they are both men of the left, so how can they be America’s best journalists? The answer is that they are honest. …

  Herland Report: U.S. Economic Suicide: Two Examinations of US Economic Policy by Michael Hudson and Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Today I am pleased to present a double feature on economic policy.

  Herland Report: Western sanctions hurt the West: The strategy of imposing economic sanctions to hurt Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, may produce an economic fallout that is very different from what many expected.
