About Brian Wright

Hello, I'm Brian Wright, the proprietor and chief content provider to this Web opinion and review site. The Coffee Coaster (thecoffeecoaster.com) has been around since late 2006, and in early 2012 I finally decided to give the site a major makeover with this Wordpress implementation. My views are 'wholistic libertarian,' meaning focused on the spiritual--I like to use the word: essentual--evolution we will need, individually, in order to reach the New Paradigm of peace, freedom, and abundance. Let's help one another in the process.

Guest Column: Smoking Gun at CDC

Posted on October 20, 2014 by Brian Wright

Are the Ebola attacks a distraction to let CDC off the hook for murder?

Please view this original guest column from Jon Rappoport regarding the breaking story that nobody in the mainstream media (MSM) broke, which was that the US Center for Disease Creation and Infection (CDC) fraudulently reported that the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine showed no link to autism. In fact vaccine tests revealed a 300%+ likelihood of autism and brain damage in black boys; these test results were simply removed from the final 2004 paper by CDC scientists… by the mechanism of eliminating the black boy data set altogether. Sweet. Rappoport gives names and faces to the Mengelian medicine practiced, with apparent impunity, at the highest levels of government and industry. Continue reading →

Brian’s Column: Liberty or Death?

Posted on October 19, 2014 by Brian Wright

While working on my Good Neighbor Libertarian presentation …

… for the Liberty in Action seminar put on by the Libertarian Party of Michigan this coming Saturday, I came upon the need for that key phrase at the end of Patrick Henry’s rousing speech on the floor of the Second Virginia Convention, in Richmond, Virginia, on a bright spring day on the eve of Revolution:

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?”

Is it? And I was thinking of it in connection with how many, if not most, Libertarians and citizens seem to entertain the comforting delusion that we haven’t crossed the line into full-spectrum federal tyranny (with state and local government abdication). Well, we have, and it’s a useful stirring of the blood to read Mr. Henry’s words—substituting ‘globalists’ or ‘US predatory government’ or ‘Pod Lizards’ for the ‘British imperial forces.’

Book Review: Nightmare in Pink (1964)

Posted on October 17, 2014 by Brian Wright

By John D. MacDonald 1964, Fawcett Publications , 143 pages

Some of my friends tell me it’s time to lighten up again. (Well, they tell me to lighten up all the time.) So, for the book review, I’ve decided to continue to explore more of the subtleties and insights of Travis McGee in this his second incarnation, Nightmare in Pink, by literary GrandMaster MacDonald.

What amazes me for all the books I’ve read—including a McGee novel by MacDonald perhaps a decade ago—that I’ve only just now “discovered” John D’s immense talent. Seriously. In his first of the Travis McGee series, The Deep Blue Good-By, I saw his penchant for biting social commentary. Continue reading →

Movie Review: Don Jon (2013)

Posted on October 15, 2014 by Brian Wright

Modern morality comedy in candid setting ___ 8.5/10

Don Jon is another Netflix pic that panned out nicely.

[Who goes out to the movies anymore? Last time yours truly took in the silver screen up close and personal was to watch Atlas Shrugged III. To make it an official night at the cineplex I ordered a MEDIUM cola and MEDIUM popcorn… then walked away, I think it was, $12 poorer! Yikes! They need to surround the concession stands with yellow tape as a crime scene.]

But back to the movie at hand. The IMDb blurb says, “A New Jersey guy dedicated to his family, friends, and church, develops unrealistic expectations from watching porn and works to find happiness and intimacy with his potential true love.” So I expected it to be on the frank, perhaps even raw, side, but I’ve always liked Gordon-Levitt’s movies where he’s an actor—since Brick (2005), The Lookout (2007), and especially (500) Days of Summer (2009)—and this one he also writes and directs. So I put my offensiveness meter on standby and gave Don Jon a fair shake, so to speak.:) Not the kind of movie to watch with one’s parents… or one’s kids. Continue reading →

Brian’s Column: ‘Life and Times’ Prospecting

Posted on October 12, 2014 by Brian Wright

Some Thoughts and a Pitch from the Brave New World of People’s Publishing

Say what you will about the Amazon dynasty, its Createspace subsidiary has made possible an entire new set of careers for writers and editors qua publishers. What I mean by that is if you want to write a book and you know how to use a computer, you can put a real one up on the Web and available as printed material complete with ISBN and all the bells and whistles that make it available to all the libraries of the world. It’s like in the movie, The Jerk, when the Steve Martin character finally sees his name in the telephone directory! Continue reading →

Guest Column: Fighting for Liberty…

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Brian Wright

… as a Republican

“How to Fight for Republican Victory without Selling Your Soul”
by Shane Trejo, from The Detroit Constitutionalist

Recently, I have been very busy volunteering for republican state house rep candidates, and informing the masses about the horrors of the federal and state government’s constitutional violations while doing so. It is very rewarding to work for principled candidates and to be the antidote for the mainstream media’s propaganda at the same time. I have been talking to people about the police brutality epidemic that is enveloping our country, federal government malfeasance and the generally woeful state of affairs. People have been very receptive to the message. Continue reading →
