In one of the scariest moments in modern history, we’re doing our best at ScheerPost to pierce the fog of lies that conceal it but we need some help to pay our writers and staff. Please consider a tax-deductible donation. Joshua Scheer Jeffrey Sachs doesn’t raise his voice — he doesn’t have to. In this wide‑ranging conversation with Tucker Carlson, Sachs lays out a devastating, historically grounded indictment of U.S. foreign policy, the manufactured “Iran threat,” and the decades‑long fusion of American empire with Israel’s regional ambitions. What emerges is not a hot take but a cold, clinical autopsy…
The second Trump administration arrived in the wake of the brutal Covid experience, with the hope of gutting the deep state. A public demand for dramatic reform of oppressive government agencies – and the industries that influence them – was on the docket. Reform efforts, however, have been met with frustration. The entire machinery is set up to resist the influence of a politically hostile takeover. For example, Moderna, the company tasked with the development of mRNA shots for Covid, has been given the green light to further develop the technology for a flu shot, among other grave disappointments. The operations of the…

I blogged Wednesday about the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for, among other things, supposedly defrauding donors.

The indictment also alleges that, to hide the source of the funds, the SPLC caused false statements to be made to banks: It had its employees open accounts that it claimed were owned by them personally,…

The Justice Department has ended its investigation of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, removing a key obstacle to Senate confirmation of Kevin Warsh as his successor. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Friday her office would close its probe of the Fed’s $2.5 billion headquarters renovation because the central bank’s inspector general would review it instead. The investigation was widely viewed as a pressure tactic to push Powell into lowering U.S. interest rates. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) had said he would oppose Warsh’s confirmation until the inquiry ended, effectively stalling the nomination. President Donald Trump nominated Warsh in January to replace…
