Mohammed bin Salman is more at risk internally than from AnsarAllah attacks

Mohammed bin Salman is more at risk internally than from AnsarAllah attacks

by | Oct 14, 2026 |

As part of its “blockade-for-blockade,” “airport-for-airport” strategy, Ansarallah carried out a third attack on Riyadh International Airport on Saturday — 12 people (mostly civilians) were killed and more than 300 injured. This, in tandem with Iran’s escalating attacks on tankers, and expanding its maritime operations, immediately increases the pressures on President Trump to respond — at the precise moment when midterm elections loom. As the military conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia...

War Against Yemen Endangers Saudi Crown Prince’s Position

War Against Yemen Endangers Saudi Crown Prince’s Position

by | Oct 13, 2026 |

In the 1930s, during the formation of Saudi Arabia, three provinces were taken from Yemen. The Yemeni have always wanted them back. They are now in a position where they may eventually achieve that aim. The western parts of Yemen are unlike the deserts of Saudi Arabia. The area is mountainous and gets a decent amount of precipitation. Some 80 percent of the 33 million Yemeni live in there. Agricultural production in the mountains is however difficult and Yemen has long been dependent on trade...

The Only Way To Fight Government Corruption

The Only Way To Fight Government Corruption

by | Oct 12, 2026 |

This past week we have seen several serious Administration corruption scandals. Fox News host-turned-Trump Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, came to attention recently when she informed a Greek official, in what sounded like a threat, that Washington can overthrow any government it wishes. While hardly breaking news, such an admission is not normally considered part of diplomatic dialogue. But for Guilfoyle, that was only the beginning. She is reported to have strong-armed a donor into...

Mike Huckabee Should Resign

Mike Huckabee Should Resign

by | Oct 10, 2026 |

The New York Times reports that U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee’s senior adviser, David Milstein, suppressed an embassy report and obstructed efforts by our elected representatives in Congress to obtain information. That in itself is a scandal—but it’s the gravity of the information in question that makes this story rise to the level of demanding immediate and formal accountability to American citizens.  In March, U.S. senators wrote to Huckabee demanding answers about American...

FBI Arranges Fake Terror Plot as Midterms Approach

FBI Arranges Fake Terror Plot as Midterms Approach

by | Oct 9, 2026 |

It is October Surprise season, time to roll out the phony terror plots ahead of the midterm elections. The FBI is accomplished at the practice, having cooked up a number of fabricated terror incidents in the wake of September 11, 2001. The latest episode unfolded on October 7, a week into October Surprise season. Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, an 18-yer old American of Somali descent, was charged in an alleged plot targeting the Mall of America. Prosecutors say Mohamud planned an Oct. 24 attack...

When Will This White House Madness End?

When Will This White House Madness End?

by | Oct 9, 2026 |

It was another horrific week in Washington with President Donald Trump actually succeeding in coming out with an apparently improvised comment that equaled or maybe even exceeded his ghastly performance at the United Nations where he speculated over whether he should “annihilate” Iran and drive it back into the Stone Age. It would seem that ninety plus million dead Persians would satisfy Donald’s blood lust when it comes to killing innocent civilians, but the latest musing by our beloved...

More Military Assassinations in the Caribbean

More Military Assassinations in the Caribbean

by | Oct 8, 2026 |

The US military announced this week that it had killed four “narco-terrorists” by blowing up another boat in the Caribbean. This now brings the military death toll from these types of military boat killings to 235 people. I have addressed these types of killings in the past, but as long as the US national-security establishment continues to engage in them, it is important to continue highlighting the evil nature of these killings. There are several points that I wish to emphasize about these...

The Prosecutor’s Dilemma

The Prosecutor’s Dilemma

by | Oct 8, 2026 |

That it is better 100 guilty persons should escape, than that one innocent person should suffer. -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) The hardest decision a government prosecutor may ever face is also one of the most important tests of the rule of law: What do you do when you believe a crime occurred, and you believe you know who committed it, but you do not believe you can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty? The temptation is obvious. A prosecutor is a public official....

‘Last American hostage in Gaza’ Edan Alexander was not US citizen, source says

‘Last American hostage in Gaza’ Edan Alexander was not US citizen, source says

by | Oct 7, 2026 |

The Trump administration took the unusual step of negotiating directly for the release of captive IDF soldier Edan Alexander on the grounds that he was a dual American-Israeli citizen. But a source who’s been in contact with his family says he was not a US citizen at all. The Grayzone has confirmed Alexander is a client of elite immigration lawyers. On May 11, 2025, President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social app to proclaim that his administration had secured the release of one of the...

Trump’s Fact-free Diatribe on the Price of Oil

Trump’s Fact-free Diatribe on the Price of Oil

by | Oct 7, 2026 |

Another day and another fact-free diatribe by the president of the United States. Trump went on his Truth Social (where truth is a rare commodity) and said Democrats have closed down the nation’s refinery capacity, and this is the reason diesel and gas prices are skyrocketing. Here’s what Trump didn’t tell you: recent closures were corporate decisions by refinery owners, not a mandate by Democrats. LyondellBasell Industries in Houston made a strategic decision to exit refining in March,...

By Netanyahu’s Own Math, Gaza Is 3,900 September 11ths

By Netanyahu’s Own Math, Gaza Is 3,900 September 11ths

by | Oct 6, 2026 |

Benjamin Netanyahu likes to translate Israel’s grief into American. At the United Nations last month, he took the dead of October 7 and multiplied them by the ratio of America’s population to Israel’s. The 1,200 Israelis killed that day, he said, were “equal to 40,000 innocent Americans slaughtered in less than 24 hours. That’s 16 times 9/11.” Per-capita comparisons are a perfectly legitimate tool. A small country feels a massacre more than a large one, and Americans should understand what...

Britain Leads Western Media’s Demise Through ‘Fear Porn’ Narrative

Britain Leads Western Media’s Demise Through ‘Fear Porn’ Narrative

by | Oct 6, 2026 |

Ian Proud’s arrest by secret police at a London airport marks a new low in how far the deep state can go to control a false narrative. But it also shows a new level of fear. As mad as it sounds, it does appear that Western European nations at least are preparing themselves to go to war with Russia at some point in the not-too-distant future. What is particularly worrying is there seems to be a distinct vacuum in all areas of what we could broadly call “media” in questioning this narrative....

Trump Talks the Talk and Walks the Path of War on Iran. So Does Netanyahu

Trump Talks the Talk and Walks the Path of War on Iran. So Does Netanyahu

by | Oct 6, 2026 |

We are on a path to more war. Trump could (and should) have declared victory and simply walked away from Iran, but that would have cast him as “a loser” (a prospect that he cannot tolerate). But secondly, he is — for whatever reason — in thrall to Netanyahu and Israel. Tucker Carlson in August 2024 spoke directly to Trump: “You will not win this war [with Iran]. You will lose it and it will destroy your Presidency. Furthermore, Netanyahu and the Zionist donor class do not like you. They hate...

American Soul-Searching after the Iraq Withdrawal

American Soul-Searching after the Iraq Withdrawal

by | Oct 5, 2026 |

In March 2003, the US Empire invaded and occupied Iraq under the rubric of “Operation Iraqi Freedom.” Last week, twenty-three years later, the last US troops have been withdrawn from Iraq. I think almost every American would agree with one thing about that particular foreign war: It did not bring freedom to the Iraqi people, at least not freedom the way that libertarians define the term. Instead, it brought what US interventionism traditionally brings to foreign lands: death, destruction,...

The Rise And…Rise Of ‘Color Revolutions’

by | Oct 5, 2026 |

It’s rather forgotten today how Washington’s post-9/11 imperial adventurism was not restricted to military intervention. A core component of the Bush administration’s “Freedom Agenda” - under the auspices of which calamitous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere were waged - was overt sponsorship of civil society-led coups throughout the former Soviet Union, Warsaw Pact and Yugoslavia. Citizens of these regions, and the world, live with this meddling’s destructive consequences to this day....

Trump’s Other War

by | Oct 5, 2026 |

As the midterm election draws near, a number of Republicans in tough races are distancing themselves from President Trump’s war. The war is unpopular because it has inflicted economic pain on the already-suffering American people. No, I am not talking about the Iran War. I am talking about President Trump’s tariff war. The Tax Foundation estimates that, since he returned to the White House, President Trump has imposed tariffs on about 54 percent of imported goods. Contrary to the claims of...
