Independent Political News, Opinions & Commentary
Real opinions. Ridiculous names. Zero apologies.
We cover politics, power, and the occasional philosophical dispatch from a monk living in a mountain range. We have opinions. Some of them might even change your mind.
We have one rule.
Discuss the article. Not the person.
That’s it. That’s the whole thing. You’d be amazed how hard it is.

The Andys Mountains Are Calling
The search for wisdom, peace and love begins here.
We are searching the world to find the Andys Mountains where it is told there resides a philosopher, our Sage. We all are searching for the wisdom, the peace, the love the world deserves. Maybe just maybe Gandhirew can help.
