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.

Starkly entertaining indictment of the PTB __ 9/10
Review by Brian Wright

George Soros: Chuck Prince of Citibank famously said: ‘That we have to dance until the music stops.’ Actually, the music had stopped already when he said that.

Frank Partnoy: You’re gonna make an extra $2 million a year, or $10 million a year for putting your financial institution at risk. Someone else pays the bill, you don’t. Would you make that bet? Most people on Wall Street said, ‘Sure, I’d make that bet.’ Continue reading →

Brian’s Column: Libertarian Local Action Network (LLAN)

Project for implementing a ‘New People’s Paradigm’
by Brian Wright

In the 1990s a group of Neoconservatives under the auspices of the Western finance-capitalist oligarchy—often referred to by its opponents (and by itself) as the New World Order—founded the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) a US think tank that sought to intellectually and morally justify the American global military empire by ‘whatever means necessary,’ including the horrific national security-state ‘false-flag’ attacks on Americans of 9/11/2001. Anyway, the project and several associated documents, particularly Zbigniew Brzezinski’s The Grand Chessboard (1997), can be seen as Men of the Power Sickness blueprints for what’s in store for humanity if large numbers of us continue to acquiesce to what I like to call Glitter-Flicker Bang Bang (the pervasive HDTV Fog Machine).

Book Review: 9/11 Synthetic Terror (2006)

Posted on August 16, 2013 by Brian Wright

Made in the USA
by Webster Griffin Tarpley
Reviewed by Brian Wright

Mr. Tarpley is the third leg of a trifecta of men with Griffin in their names, each of whom will go down in history as opening up the death-dealing operations of “Cartel Planet” and decisively shining truth to power. [The other two are Dr. David Ray Griffin, author of The New Pearl Harbor and other 9/11 Truth masterpieces, and G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island: a second look at the Federal Reserve.] Less poetically and more descriptively, “Cartel Planet” is the ongoing Anglo-American financier oligarchy—the phrase Webster Tarpley uses—that has taken over the real human economy of the West (and most of the world) for purposes that are not healthful to real humans: tyranny, war, genocide, pandemics, plunder, banking crises, recessions, depressions, and so on.

Six easy steps to avoid common GM foods
by Jonathan Benson, NN staff writer

(NaturalNews) Awareness about the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the food supply is at an all-time high throughout America, thanks in large part to the Proposition 37 ballot initiative in California. But many people are now asking the question, “If GMOs aren’t labeled, how can I know whether or not the foods I buy contain them?” To help you make the best effort at avoiding GMOs while shopping at the grocery store, here are six recommendations on what to look for and what to avoid.

Brian’s Column: Shlabotkian Agorism

Effective action to end the coercive state
by Brian Wright

Shlabotkianism My seed words for forming. Decided I would go ahead and create a Group in Facebook for Big L Michigan Libertarians and small l Michigan libertarians, because I like to have a Group listed on my Facebook home page that is more centered toward the Libertarian Party as well as people from other aligned Michigan proliberty organizations. And makes it easy to post my own hot issues for liberty from the national front. Continue reading →

Book Review: A Brief History of Time (1988)

Posted on August 9, 2013 by Brian Wright

From the Big Bang to Black Holes
by Stephen Hawking

A Brief History of Time was quite a phenomenon in and around the late 1980s when it was first published. Written for the layman, it nevertheless provides a comprehensible picture of ‘what we know’ for anyone who cares about science and philosophy. I cannot imagine a better introduction for young minds entering the scientific disciplines—particularly theoretical physics or cosmology. In my own case, as one who ventures a number of normative[1] abstractions or values in a sociological context, I’m interested in the philosophical “so what?”[2] that may be seen to be supported by reason and science. I have long appreciated other hard-knowledge populizers: Isaac Asimov, Jacob Bronowski, and Carl Sagan (who wrote the introduction to History of Time) come to mind. Continue reading →
