Four Wednesdays in January

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: January 29, 2021

In 2012, a man named Peter Turchin predicted that by 2020 the US would reach “peak instability” marked by violent unrest and major social upheaval. Turchin is one of those “cycle guys.” That means he looks for patterns in history to help predict the future. He’s an ecologist, evolutionary biologist, and mathematician at the University […]

Trump’s Targeting by Intelligence Community Rhymes with Nixon’s Outting; Marks Beginning of ‘Cold Civil War’

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: February 23, 2017

It’s now widely recognized that there is a kind of Cold-Civil War going on now within the US government, between President Donald Trump and the intelligence community, which has become increasingly adversarial.

The Social Scientists Were Right; Trump and the Image-Based Society

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: October 17, 2016

This election may or may not be revolutionary in the traditional sense, a hinge point where history seems to take a turn, or at least changes shape in its endless push toward “progress.” But one thing is for sure: it has been incredibly instructive in giving us observers a view into how power really functions. It turns out that […]

Thanks to my editor and publisher, you can now view two blog length excerpts from my new book, Bureaucratic Insanity: The American Bureaucrat’s Descent into Madness. The first excerpt discusses the “master/slave” relationship that has become widespread in American schools and workplaces.

Will We Elect Hillary After Her Many, Many War Crimes?

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: March 25, 2016

Most candidates who run for President are merely aspiring criminals. But Hillary Clinton has always been exceptional. She has the nearly unique distinction of having already been party to numerous criminal acts, some of which are so serious that just a lifetime ago she would have been hanged for less. In the 1980s, Hillary and her husband Bill Clinton, […]

Updated Healthcare Spending Graphs Are as Bleak as Ever

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: April 3, 2014

In 2012, I created this chart, which mapped out US federal government spending on healthcare from 1960 to the Congressional Budget Office’s projections up to 2022, which was the most recent data they had available at the time.  For a while now, I’ve wanted to update that chart to address some criticisms people had. First, […]
