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.

Book Review: The Motor City Witchcraft Trial(s) (2014)

Book on kangaroo trial of Doreen Hendrickson sheds light on our truth…

… and liberation. [Reviewed by the author.]

Reposting from original date. For an update on Doreen with links to all the important sites and pages to help, please visit this page. — Proprietor

Since 2007, when I read Pete Hendrickson’s Cracking the Code, I, Brian Wright, have acknowledged and asserted my non-federally privileged status with respect to the federal ‘income’ tax. And believe all Americans to whom the ‘national excise tax’ does not apply should stop paying it (as a patriotic duty)… libertarians especially! Further, libertarians must learn and spread the immediately liberating and healing truths that Pete Hendrickson has unearthed… to hardstop the DC gangster state NOW.

As a personal friend of the Hendrickson family, I was caught up in the struggle to help Pete’s wife Doreen resist the vicious, arbitrary aggression by the court upon her for refusing a federal judge’s order to commit the felony crime of perjury. I attended her sham contempt trial in Detroit, for five days at the end of July 2014, and was moved to write this book—a journal of her ordeal and primer of the ideas for which she was persecuted—for her liberty… and ours.

Movie Reviews: Croupier (1998)

Posted on April 27, 2016 by Brian Wright

A black-and-white-feel film noir, like The Hustler (9/10)

“The world breaks everyone, and afterwards many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break, it kills—it kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave, impartially. If you are none of these, you can be sure it will kill you, too, but there will be no special hurry.”
— Jack Manfred (Clive Owen)

That’s my favorite of the quotes from this brooding yet determined character, young, slick Jack Manfred. It comes toward the end of the movie. Here’s another:

“Gambling’s not about money… Gambling’s about not facing reality, ignoring the odds.”

Quite a fascinating character, right from the beginning, when we see him talking to a London publisher about a book idea. The publisher is smarmy, the type who sucks up to the in crowd; his advice to Jack is in effect, “Just work your ass off for us every waking moment and eventually success will arrive.” The vibes Jack gives off, however, are anything but those of an aspiring, hardworking writer… Jack carries a constant grin of confidence. His appearance is hotshot retro, he dies his hair blond and wears a pork-pie straw hat. Continue reading →

Guest Column: Dear Doctor…

How to avoid blame for causing autism
by Jon Rappoport (full original column here)

As the truth about horrendous vaccine-damage to babies emerges and spreads, doctors need advice on how to avoid blame. So this article is offered as a public service to the medical profession.

Dear Doctor, your best defense is: “I’m practicing proper medicine.” Always remember that. Don’t wobble. Don’t explain. Just keep saying it. It works. After all, you have decades of propaganda behind you. Make those lies operate for you. Stand on them. It’s your best strategy. Continue reading →

Brian’s Column: Truman Prophecy, the Preview Pictures

Posted on April 24, 2016 by Brian Wright

Briefer subject-area-specific previews of my new novel now available here

From the book review (April 1, 2016):

With a mixture of pride and humility, I’m very happy to announce the completion of my novel, The Truman Prophecy, the initial full release effective the first day of spring 2016. Truman is a story about an envisioned, imminently successful struggle for truth, justice, and liberty… in roughly that order… in America and the world.

I’m hoping motivated readers will follow at least some of the story’s bread crumbs toward building a free worldwide society of Independent human beings. The book employs a simple ensemble-cast plot surrounded by metaphor and analogy to keep it grounded in people’s real lives… along with, I hope, some modest entertainment value.

The essence of The Truman Prophecy is the Little Boy in Hans Christian Andersen’s, The Emperor’s New Suit, simply declaring the obvious. Nothing special. To those who fear pulling back the curtain on Big Wizard and ruining their standing in the merry old Land of Oz, I’m sorry. We simply must dispel and discard the overwhelming illusions of the modern world for the healing to begin. Continue reading →

Book Review: Astaxanthin (2013)

Posted on April 22, 2016 by Brian Wright

Seafood’s Ultimate Supernutrient
by William Sears, M.D.

As TV’s Dr. Oz says, Astaxanthin (pronounced asta-ZAN-thin) is “… the number one supplement that you’ve never heard of that you should be taking.”

It’s the most powerful antioxidant on the market, according to the standard tests for free-radical scavenging ability. [Why? Because of its unique molecular structure, which contains a strong anti-oxidizing hydroxyl group on both ends—thus enabling it, as fat-soluble and water-soluble, to penetrate into nearly all the body’s tissues.] The chart below gives the central strong comparison of Astaxanthin vs. other leading antioxidants.

Dr. Sears is an extremely well-known celebrity doctor who has appeared on several national TV shows. He’s also a ‘show-me-the-science’ professional who advocates processes that enable the natural healing capacity of the human body, whenever possible. Astaxanthin fits in to this sane and sober approach to enhancing human health… by mitigating the damage caused by oxidation of human cells that occurs on a massive scale thru normal aging as well as the large number of toxins we are exposed to in the modern world. [Many by sinister intention.] Continue reading →

Movie Review: The Amateurs (The Moguls) (2005)

Posted on April 20, 2016 by Brian Wright

Worthy effort: The Big Lebowski Lite (6/10)

“I’m in. Except for no money, it’s a no-brainer for me. First off, making a stag film *has* to be a good time. Number two, my hat’s off to you. Good job. We can do this. Wha-what are we talking about here? Making a dirty movie – film, whatever, whatever. What does that require? Pointing a camera at a he and a she… he’in and a-she’in.” — Otis

This enthusiastic abandon of Otis (William Fichtner) gives you an idea of the characterological (!) method of the movie. In addition to Otis, who has this childish, charming kinetic all-directions-at-once quality, virtually every one of the characters is the epitome of quirk. [Which is why the movie reminds me so much of The Big Lebowski, at least for the Jeff Bridges role as Andy Sargentee; the key difference between The Amateurs and the Coen brothers’ classic lies in the heavier underlying plot material of Lebowski.] Continue reading →

Guest Column: “Let’s Find Out The Truth…” about Vaccines

Posted on April 18, 2016 by Brian Wright

Pediatrician Agrees with Robert De Niro
Dr. Paul Thomas and Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D. (Health Impact News column)

“As a parent with a child who has autism, I’m concerned,” Robert De Niro said on the Today Show on April 13. “I want to know the truth. I’m not anti-vaccine. I want safe vaccines.”

De Niro got visibly upset as he spoke. Upset about the way the mainstream has shut down the conversation about vaccines and autism. Upset that he had to make the quick decision—which he seemed to say he now regrets—to pull the documentary Vaxxed from this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. And upset about his now 18-year-old son who has autism. Continue reading →
