How Did the Perpetrators Do 9/11?

All it takes is a government conspiracy The twentieth anniversary of 9/11 has motivated some critics of the standard narrative to explore alternative explanations for what took place on that fatal day. To be sure, there has been considerable focus through the years on exactly what happened, analyzing the technical aspects of what made the […]

Biden’s Journey: Change Is Imperceptible

Biden has been a major disappointment for those who hoped that he’d change course regarding America’s pathological involvement in overseas conflicts. The new White House Team has been in place for more than a month and it is perhaps time to consider where it is going with America’s fractured foreign policy. To be sure, when […]

Neocons Poised to Join New Government

Donald Trump was much troubled during his 2016 and 2020 campaigns by so-called conservatives who rallied behind the #NeverTrump banner, presumably in opposition to his stated intention to end or at least diminish America’s role in wars in the Middle East and Asia. Those individuals are generally described as neoconservatives but the label is itself […]

Draining the Intelligence Community Swamp

New hires will all be Israel’s poodles The appointment of U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell as interim Director of National Intelligence (DNI), a position that he will apparently hold simultaneously with the ambassadorship, has been criticized from all sides due to his inexperience, history of bad judgement and partisanship. The White House is now […]

Who Is Killing Whom in the Middle East? Blaming Iran Might be an Excuse for War

  Newsweek is reporting a story regarding how Iran “was responsible for the deaths of at least 608 American troops in Iraq between 2003 and 2011.” The account is sourced to a newly revised estimate prepared by analysts at the Pentagon that was discussed by Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook at a State Department press briefing […]

Who Is Right on America’s Enemies?

Does the intelligence community need to go back to school?   Two weeks ago, the heads of the United States intelligence and security agencies presented their annual “Worldwide Threat Assessment Report”  to Congress. The report inevitably made front page news because it appeared to contradict President Donald Trump on a number of key points, most […]

Is Criticizing neocon thuggery anti-Semitism?

Max Boot networked his way up the neocon ladder. He was a member of the neocon Project for a New American Century and now sits on the heavily neocon Council on Foreign Relations. He never served in the U.S. military but likes war  – he co-authored “5 Reasons to Intervene in Syria Now.” He is a reliable […]

Cheerleading for Israel: Everyone’s doing it

France’s greatest living poseur-hypocrite Bernard-Henri Levy, who has described the brutal Israel Defense Forces as “a democratic army, which asks itself so many moral questions” and who was a war-on-Libya cheerleader, warns that Trump is a threat to all American Jews. Why? Because even though he has showered benefits on Israel his love for the Jewish […]

Elliott Abrams and Gina Haspel – ghastly choices

The most ghastly candidate who has almost made it through the nomination screening process, in this case to become number two at the Department of State, is Elliot Abrams. Another almost as bad, Gina Haspel, succeeded and is now CIA Deputy Director….  By Philip Giraldi We live in a political environment where nothing is any longer real. […]

The Israeli roots of Trump’s “Muslim Ban”

With just a single exception, all of these countries were targeted for attack by certain top U.S. officials in 2001. In fact, that policy had roots that went back to 1996, 1991, 1980, and even the 1950s. Trump’s action continues policies influenced by people working on behalf of a foreign country, whose goal has been to […]
