The Drug War Is Totally Idiotic
by Jacob G. Hornberger | May 31, 2019 | Featured Articles
Pardon me for being blunt, but it would be difficult to find anything more idiotic than the war on drugs, an ongoing federal program that has been enacted and enforced by both Republicans and Democrats for decades. The program is sheer idiocy in that its supporters...
Pamela Anderson: Assange Is a Scapegoat, Not a Criminal
by Pamela Anderson | May 31, 2019 | Featured Articles
So you say Julian Assange interfered with U.S. elections? Well, then let me tell you the truth: This whole saga of “foreign intervention” is fundamentally absurd, and mainstream opinion painfully misguided. No one interfered with the right of voters to inform...
Are US/UK Trying To Kill Assange?
by Daniel McAdams | May 30, 2019 | The Liberty Report
Jailed Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange is reportedly "too ill" to even speak at a scheduled extradition hearing today. He is said to be "gravely ill" and even near death. If Assange is worth more dead than alive to the governments he has embarrassed by publishing...

by John W. Whitehead | May 30, 2019 | Featured Articles
“There will come a time when it isn't ‘They’re spying on me through my phone’ anymore. Eventually, it will be ‘My phone is spying on me.’” ― Philip K. Dick Red pill or blue pill? You decide. Twenty years after the Wachowskis’ iconic 1999 film, The Matrix, introduced...
Washington’s Mighty Warriors: Draft Dodgers and Scoundrels
by Philip Giraldi | May 30, 2019 | Featured Articles
Remember Shakespeare’s line “he jests at scars that never felt a wound?” That epithet could have been written with National Security Advisor John Bolton in mind. Bolton was notoriously a draft dodger during the Vietnam War, like his current boss, not due to any...
Impeach John Bolton?
by Gene Healy | May 30, 2019 | Featured Articles
“We’re not looking for regime change [in Iran]. I want to make that clear,” President Trump said Monday at a news conference in Japan, “nobody wants to see terrible things happen, especially me.” That’s good to hear, but has Trump’s National Security Advisor gotten...
Mueller Blames Russia, Bolton Blames Iran. Should We Believe Them?
by Daniel McAdams | May 29, 2019 | The Liberty Report
Robert Mueller resigned today as Special Counsel investigating Trump Campaign collusion with Russia. Though he found no collusion, his parting shot was aimed directly at Russia for "interference" in the election. His evidence? Allegations of a grand jury. Meanwhile,...
Pence Tells West Point Grads: ‘War Is Coming!’
by Daniel McAdams | May 28, 2019 | The Liberty Report
It may be in Afghanistan or Iraq, Vice President Mike Pence told the graduating class at West Point, or it may be Korea or South China Sea or even against Russia, but one thing you can be sure of: You will see combat. Why constant normalization of war? Why the...
The Worst 2020 Election Interference Will Be Perfectly Legal
by Caitlin Johnstone | May 28, 2019 | Featured Articles

Lindsey Graham Asks Trump To Invade Venezuela: ‘Do Exactly What Reagan Did’ In Grenada
by Tyler Durden | May 28, 2019 | Neocon Watch
Likely frustrated over the fact that the crisis in Venezuela has by and large retreated from the headlines over the past weeks following the failed US-backed coup attempt against Maduro at the end of April, Sen. Lindsey Graham went on one of his characteristic...
Rep. Thomas Massie Prevents House Skeleton Crew from Passing Legislation during Recess
by Adam Dick | May 28, 2019 | Congress Alert
You may think that the United States House of Representatives only passes legislation while in session when members have an opportunity to vote. Not so. On Tuesday, a small group of representatives on the House floor, while most representatives were far afield on...
Amash is Wrong, Pelosi (So Far…) is Right on Articles of Impeachment
by Peter van Buren | May 27, 2019 | Featured Articles
Even as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tries to put impeachment talk on the back burner within her own party, Justin Amash became the first Republican Congressman to call for it. This weekend on Twitter, as the Founders intended, Amash wrote “Mueller’s report identifies...
‘They Shall Not Grow Old’ is a Superb Antiwar Film
by Jeff Deist | May 27, 2019 | Featured Articles
I recently saw the documentary They Shall Not Grow Old, an account by English soldiers of their experiences in the Great War of 1914-1918. Culled from hundreds of hours of colorized actual wartime footage, it's a beautiful and heart wrenching film. It's also a superb...
Congress Fiddles While Trump Lurches Toward War on Iran
by Ron Paul | May 27, 2019 | Featured Articles
Congress, and particularly the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, seems determined to see the end of the Trump Administration before the 2020 vote. Although House Speaker Pelosi claims she is not seeking impeachment, she’s accusing the president of...
Bill Barr Is Wrong On Assange
by Jonathan Turley | May 26, 2019 | Featured Articles
Bill Barr has been (in my opinion) wrongly attacked for many of his actions with regard to the Special Counsel Report. Indeed, I defended his decisions in print and I testified in favor of his confirmation. I still believe that he is an excellent choice for Attorney...
Liberate Syria’s Idlib, Precisely for the Civilians that America Fakes Concern Over
by Eva Bartlett | May 26, 2019 | Featured Articles
Western media and politicians are crying for Al-Qaeda in Syria again. It doesn’t get much more absurd than this! After years of brutal occupation by terrorists from various groups and now overwhelmingly Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (aka Al-Nusra, aka Al-Qaeda in Syria),...
Why Do We Fight? How Do We Fight?
by Douglas Macgregor | May 25, 2019 | Featured Articles
Today’s political and military leaders have no choice but to project technology and strategic conditions into the future while they develop their forces today. However, before such multi-billion dollar investments are made, critical questions should be answered. What...

by Whitney Webb | May 25, 2019 | Featured Articles

Total Deception: US House Votes to ‘Enhance Stabilization of Conflict-Affected Areas and Prevent Violence and Fragility Globally’
by Adam Dick | May 24, 2019 | Congress Alert
