If you want to change a group of terrorists who have killed American overseas into something that appears to be much more benign, all you have to do is pay off the right people in Washington. With enough money, you can even open a nice plush lobbying office on...

Mutual Assured Destruction: Missile Defense Might be a Lie
by Philip Giraldi | Oct 24, 2017 | Featured Articles
Sometimes it is possible to read or view something that completely changes the way one looks at things. I had that experience last week when I read an article at Lobelog entitled “A Plea for Common Sense on Missile Defense,” written by Joe Cirincione, a former staffer...
Sputnik and RT Under Investigation
by Philip Giraldi | Oct 10, 2017 | Featured Articles
Somehow everything keeps coming back around to Russia. In one of its recent initiatives, the Justice Department (DOJ) appears to be attacking the First Amendment as part of the apparent bipartisan program to make Vladimir Putin the fall guy for everything that goes...
More on Imran Awan – Where Are All Those Congressional Emails?
by Philip Giraldi | Sep 26, 2017 | Featured Articles
I wrote an article on the strange case of Imran Awan about two months ago. To summarize it briefly, Awan, his two brothers and wife, naturalized U.S. citizens born in Pakistan living in the Washington DC area, found employment as IT administrators in the House of...

Iran, Again…Will Israel Start a New War?
by Philip Giraldi | Aug 29, 2017 | Featured Articles
When politicians are feeling the heat, they start a war and their popularity goes up even if the war is unnecessary or completely ridiculous. Donald Trump, the presidential candidate who promised that he would not take the nation into another Middle Eastern war, did...
The Tale of the Brothers Awan
by Philip Giraldi | Aug 8, 2017 | Featured Articles
There has been surprisingly little media follow-up on the story about the July 25th Dulles Airport arrest of House of Representatives’ employed Pakistani-American IT specialist Imran Awan, who was detained for bank fraud while he was allegedly fleeing to Pakistan. The...
Groupthink at the CIA
by Philip Giraldi | Aug 1, 2017 | Featured Articles
Long ago, when I was a spear carrying middle ranker at CIA, a colleague took me aside and said that he had something to tell me “as a friend,” that was very important. He told me that his wife had worked for years in the Agency’s Administrative Directorate, as it was...
Who Is the Real Enemy?
by Philip Giraldi | Jul 11, 2017 | Featured Articles
It is one of the great ironies that the United States, a land mass protected by two broad oceans while also benefitting from the world’s largest economy and most powerful military, persists in viewing itself as a potential victim, vulnerable and surrounded by enemies....
The Fraud of the White Helmets
by Philip Giraldi | Jul 4, 2017 | Featured Articles
I actually forced myself to watch the documentary The White Helmets, which is available on Netflix. It is 40 minutes long, is of high quality cinematographically speaking, and tells a very convincing tale that was promoted as “the story of real-life heroes and...
Liars Lying About Nearly Everything
by Philip Giraldi | Jun 13, 2017 | Featured Articles
The United States has been using lies to go to war since 1846, when Americans who believed in manifest destiny sought to expand to the Pacific Ocean at the expense of Mexico, acquiring by force of arms California and what were to become the southwestern states. In...
What Did John Brennan and Anonymous Sources Really Say?
by Philip Giraldi | May 30, 2017 | Featured Articles
The Washington Post and a number of other mainstream media outlets are sensing blood in the water in the wake of former CIA Director John Brennan’s public testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. The Post headlined a front page featured article with...
Are They Really Out to Get Trump?
by Philip Giraldi | May 16, 2017 | Featured Articles
President Donald Trump is not exactly known for his self-restraint. The recent firing of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey was not handled with any delicacy and has unleashed a firestorm of criticism coming from across the political spectrum....
How the US Government Spins the Story
by Philip Giraldi | Apr 18, 2017 | Featured Articles
Sounds like we’ve heard it all before, because we have, back in August 2013, and that turned out to be less than convincing. Skepticism is likewise mounting over current White House claims that Damascus used a chemical weapon against civilians in the village of Khan...
Iran the Destabilizer
by Philip Giraldi | Apr 11, 2017 | Featured Articles
The real Donald Trump has been exposed. The man who promised a sensible and non-interventionist Middle Eastern policy and a reset with Moscow has now reneged on both pledges. His nitwit United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has directly linked Russia and Syria for...
By Jingo, an ‘Act of War!’
by Philip Giraldi | Apr 4, 2017 | Featured Articles
The latest Democratic Party shill to demonize Russia is, I am ashamed to say, my state of Virginia’s Senator Mark Warner, who, on Thursday said “Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a deliberate campaign carefully constructed to undermine our election.” Last...
What Is the CIA Hack All About?
by Philip Giraldi | Mar 14, 2017 | Featured Articles
The WikiLeaks exposure of thousands of documents relating to the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) hacking program, which was expanded dramatically under President Barack Obama between 2013 and 2016, has created something of a panic in the users of cell phones,...
A Troubled CIA Analyst Finds Jesus (and the devil is spelled T-R-U-M-P)
by Philip Giraldi | Feb 28, 2017 | Featured Articles
Last Monday The Washington Post featured an op-ed by one Edward Price entitled “I didn’t think I’d ever leave the CIA. But because of Trump, I quit.” I must admit that it was refreshing at first to read something in The Post that did not rush to blame BOTHTrump and...
Why Do ‘Progressives’ Like War?
by Philip Giraldi | Feb 21, 2017 | Featured Articles
Liberals are supposed to be antiwar, right? I went to college in the 1960s, when students nationwide were rising up in opposition to the Vietnam War. I was a Young Republican back then and supported the war through sheer ignorance and dislike of the sanctimoniousness...
The Neocon Lament: Nobody Wants Them in Trump’s Washington
by Philip Giraldi | Jan 24, 2017 | Featured Articles
