Right-wing and left-wing interventionists and interventionist mainstream-press commentators are up in arms over President Trump’s decision to ease economic sanctions against Russia in connection with the Russian government’s agreement to supply diesel fuel to the...
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...
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 Last week, twenty-three years later, the last US troops have been withdrawn from Iraq.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...
The Constitution is the law that the people of the United States have imposed on federal officials. That’s what makes it the highest law of the land. US officials expect American citizens to comply with federal laws that control the actions of the citizenry. By the...
For some odd reason, the CIA steadfastly refuses to disclose all of its records relating to the 1973 Chilean coup, which the CIA ardently supported. The CIA says that “national security” will be jeopardized if its records are disclosed to the American people. That’s...
After the 9/11 attacks, US officials used the “emergency” to wield and exercise extraordinary totalitarian-like powers. This was reflected by such totalitarian-like measures as the USA PATRIOT Act, warrantless telecommunications surveillance, torture, indefinite...
One of the most disastrous consequences of the 9/11 aftermath was the pass that the American people gave to their own government. Their anger was focused entirely on the terrorists rather than on both the terrorists and the government that provoked the attacks. There...
The US military has just announced that it has carried out two more murders on the high seas near South America. This now brings the military’s high-seas murders to more than 200 people. Mind you, in its announcement, the military did not use the term “murder.” The...
Now that the Trump administration is telling America that communism, once again, poses a grave threat to US “national security,” the question naturally arises: Will the US government revive the programs that protected us from the Reds during the 45 years of the...
The title of an article in the Washington Post says it all: “Deadly U.S. Boat Strikes Have Failed to Curb Cocaine Supply, Pentagon and DEA Officials Say.” Imagine that. Shocking! Who would have ever thought that would be the result of the Pentagon’s murder...
President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are making me feel like I’m smack dab back in the middle of the old Cold War racket — the racket that succeeded in making the US national-security state and its ever-growing army of “defense” contractors a permanent...
Having illegally attacked Venezuela in an effort to kidnap the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and transport him to the United States to stand trial for supposed violations of US drug laws, US officials have placed themselves in a position in which they are now...
In October 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union (i.e., Russia) came within an inch of all-out nuclear war with each other. To resolve the crisis, President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev entered into an agreement in which the United...
The fangs of the US Empire are now being bared against not only the Cuban people but also against the American people. The Empire has issued subpoenas to two American citizens — Medea Benjamin, founder of Code Pink, and Hasan Piker requiring them to provide Empire...
During the administrations of Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden, how many times did we hear about how Republicans were the answer to those big-spending Democrats who were bankrupting our country with their out-of-control federal spending and debt? Almost...
To date, President Trump and the US national-security branch of the federal government (i.e., the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA) have assassinated around 200 people in small boats on the high seas near South America. Such assassinations are quickly becoming a...
According to media reports, it appears increasingly likely that as soon as they put their Iran intervention to rest, President Trump and the U.S. national-security establishment will initiate a military attack on Cuba. Trump himself has alluded to this possibility by...
After threatening to annihilate Iran with bombs, President Trump and the US national-security establishment have decided to do so with their tried and true foreign policy tool of sanctions — or, in this case, they’re calling it for what it is — a blockade, which, as...
I can’t help but laugh every time I read an account in the mainstream press about how a big drug kingpin has just been killed or captured. Mainstream-press reporters and editorial writers get so excited over the death or capture that they become almost giddy. Their...
I have long maintained that one of the big obstacles libertarians face in the achievement of a genuinely free society is the fact that most Americans honestly believe they are free. When people are convinced they are free, they have no reason to want to join up with...
