Knowledge is Good

Pictured above is the 28 foot high bronze sculpture Angel of the Resurrection which stands in Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. It portrays Michael the Archangel lifting up a dead soldier from the flames of war. At its base are two inscriptions which read: IN MEMORY OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR OUR COUNTRY 1941-1945. THAT ALL TRAVELERS HERE MAY REMEMBER THOSE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD WHO DID NOT RETURN FROM THE SECOND WORLD WAR. There are four bronze plaques listing the 1,307 names of the dead. The memorial was dedicated in […]

Today The American Spectator published my column on the strange coincidences surrounding Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s criminal charges against former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos under the title  The Papadopoulos Affair: Such a Downer. (The above picture is of former President Bill Clinton and former Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer taken in 2006 when they did a deal to funnel Australian tax dollars into the William J. Clinton Foundation.) I do a lot of speculating in the piece, but it raises many questions that should be asked if a responsible adult is ever tasked with investigating what happened to Papadopoulos […]

The Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) is about to issue its report blowing the lid off the corrupt plan by James Comey’s  FBI and Obama’s Justice Department to save Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy by clearing her of criminal responsibility despite overwhelming evidence that she had been grossly negligent in transmitting national security secrets over her private, unsecured email server. It is expected that the OIG will also address to some extent the FBI and Justice Department’s equally corrupt efforts to frame Donald Trump for allegedly colluding with the Russians. This latter area will most likely be covered more […]

On January 12, 2017, the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) announced that it would examine the following issues: Allegations that Department or FBI policies or procedures were not followed in connection with, or in actions leading up to or related to, FBI Director James Comey’s public announcement on July 5, 2016, clearing Hillary Clinton of criminal responsibility for her grossly negligent mishandling of national security information on her unsecured private email server, and the Director’s letters to Congress on October 28 and November 6, 2016, by which he re-opened and then promptly re-closed the investigation, and that certain underlying […]

KIG is again honored to be featured in The American Spectator which published KIG’s last post Dog Catches Car – Now What? under the title Robert Mueller’s Gaping Self-Inflicted Wound.  And while you’re on the TAS website, be sure to check out today’s leading article by George Neumayr entitled John Brennan’s ‘Exceptionally Sensitive’ Issue which begins with this trenchant observation: “Under John Brennan, the CIA operated as an opposition research outfit for the Hillary Clinton campaign. It appears from leaked news stories in the British press that Brennan’s oafish spying on Trump began around April 2016, right after Trump’s biggest primary […]

On February 16, 2018, Special Counsel Robert Mueller obtained a federal indictment of 13 Russian nationals and 3 Russian companies for conspiring to wage “information warfare” by “impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful functions of the United States by dishonest means in order to enable Defendants to interfere with U.S. political processes, including the 2016 presidential election.” According to the indictment, in 2014 the defendants, posing as U.S. persons, contacted American political and social activists on social media sites. Using information derived from these contacts, they structured disinformation operations to be used in the upcoming presidential election. Once the presidential […]

Today The American Spectator published KIG’s post Endless Justice and the Murder of Daniel Faulkner under the headline Mumia Abu-Jamal, Back in Motion subtitled The Left’s favorite convicted cop killer launches another appeal in a Philadelphia court. An honor as always and the readers’ comments are as usual very interesting. In addition, be sure to read The Passion of Jordan Peterson in Esquire’s online edition. If you are not familiar with Peterson, search his name on YouTube and take a look. He’s a fascinating, intelligent clinical psychologist and author of the best seller 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. […]

The trial evidence was stark and brutal. In the early-morning hours of December 9, 1981, Police Officer Daniel Faulkner conducted a traffic stop in Center City Philadelphia. A scuffle ensued with the driver, one William Cook. After subduing the driver, Faulkner began to search him for weapons. It was then that Cook’s brother, Wesley, approached from behind and shot Faulkner in the back. As Faulkner fell, he managed to shoot — but not incapacitate — Wesley. Then, as the grievously wounded officer lay helpless on the cold pavement, Wesley Cook, also known as Mumia Abu-Jamal, executed him with a close-range shot to […]

Today The Federalist published an edited version of KIG’s recent post The DNC Lawsuit – Great News for the Defendants under the headline In Trump Conspiracy Lawsuit, Democrats Sicced The Equivalent Of A Special Counsel on Themselves. Be sure to give it a read. It’s always an honor to be published in The Federalist. For you students of history, the above picture is of Alger Hiss and his wife, Prossy, on their way to Alger’s perjury trial in federal court. Prossy was a Bryn Mawr graduate who was believed to have typed transcriptions of some of the State Department cables stolen by […]

On August 3, 1948, Time magazine’s associate editor Whittaker Chambers testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee that, in the 1930s, he had been “a member of the Communist Party and a paid functionary of that party.” He told the committee that he had worked with a network of federal employees to bring about “the Communist infiltration of the American government.” He identified former State Department official Alger Hiss as a member of his spy network. Two days later, Hiss appeared before the committee and testified that he was not and never had been a member of the Communist Party, had […]

Yesterday’s post McCabe vs. Comey: the Plot Thickens has been published by The American Spectator under the title Andrew McCabe Is Going to Have to Cut a Deal subtitled Which is bad news for “truth teller” James Comey. Amazing how much information the Spectator can pack into a headline. In the above illustration, McCabe is the mouse, and the cat is Comey. It seems that McCabe is back to threatening to sue the president and others for defamation. We can only hope that he goes after Comey for besmirching his reputation for probity and truthfulness. McCabe told the Office of […]

Today, the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) referred former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, with a recommendation that he should be criminally prosecuted for causing sensitive law enforcement information to be leaked to the Wall Street Journal  and then repeatedly telling lies to investigators and former FBI Director James Comey about having done so. The OIG’s previous report detailed how McCabe authorized an anonymous leak calculated to make it appear that he had resisted pressure by Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department to close down the FBI’s investigation of the Clinton Foundation during the 2016 […]

Today, eleven Members of Congress made a criminal referral to the Justice Department and FBI against members of the FBI who used the unverified dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and paid for by the Clinton presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee  to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrants to spy on the Trump campaign and presidency. The lawmakers also referred former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and others for threats made against an FBI informant who provided information on the Russian nuclear industry and the approval in 2010 to sell roughly 20 percent of American uranium mining assets […]

Today’s recommended top online offering comes to us from Commentary under the title “Eating Their Own”. Here’s the link. It seems that recently two young black men asked to use the bathroom at the Starbucks Coffee on Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square. They were advised that they could not unless they made a purchase. The young men declined and then sat down to wait for a business associate. They were told they had to leave, and, when they refused, police were summoned. When they refused police requests to leave, they were arrested. This has triggered days of protests organized by Black Lives […]

Once again The American Spectator has honored KIG by publishing today’s post “Taxes Are Due – Time to Pay The Man” under the headline “Good Luck With Your Tax Return – You’ll Need It.” Be sure to check it out. Just in case the IRS reads the Spectator, we are taking appropriate evasive measures as shown above.
