Trump Will Be Impeached. The Stupid Party Says, ‘Bring It On!’
by James George Jatras | Jun 1, 2019 | Featured Articles
In the wake of Robert Mueller’s calculated handoff of the “Get Trump” portfolio to the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, two things are evident. First, President Donald J. Trump is virtually certain to be impeached. That’s manifest despite doddering House...

by Caitlin Johnstone | May 31, 2019 | Featured Articles

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...
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...
Technotyranny: The Iron-Fisted Authoritarianism of the Surveillance State
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...

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...
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...
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
Earlier this month, tech giant Microsoft announced its solution to “protect” American elections from interference, which it has named “ElectionGuard.” The election technology is already set to be adopted by half of voting machine manufacturers and some state...
Assange Hit With Espionage Act Violations As DoJ Unveils 17 New Charges
by Tyler Durden | May 23, 2019 | Featured Articles
The worst fears of Julian Assange's legal team have just been realized. Just as Wikileaks' editor in chief anticipated, the DoJ has revealed that a grand jury in Virginia has returned a new 18-count superseding indictment against Assange that includes violations of...
Nope, Guccifer 2.0 Was Not a Russian Creation
by Larry C. Johnson | May 23, 2019 | Featured Articles
Photo creditRussia did not hack the DNC. This is not an opinion. It is a conclusion that flows from one very specific claim made by the Special Counsel—i.e., Guccifer 2.0 was a fictional identity created by Russian Military Intelligence, the GRU. If Guccifer was in...
US and UK Policy Toward Libya Shifts to ISIS and the Brotherhood
by Richard Galustian | May 23, 2019 | Featured Articles
“The West” is much divided over what should happen in Libya. This is particularly true for France and Italy, who each have vast oil and gas economic interests and are increasingly at odds with one another. While admittedly the US and UK have an eye on their potential...
