Inalienable Rights in an Age of Tyranny: The Government Is Playing God
by John W. And Nisha Whitehead | Jul 2, 2025 | Featured Articles
We are now struggling to emerge from the wreckage of a constitutional republic, transformed into a kleptocracy (government by thieves), collapsing into kakistocracy (government by the worst), and enforced by a police state algogracy (rule by algorithm). This week...
What Means ‘Winning’?
by Alastair Crooke | Jul 1, 2025 | Featured Articles
At one level, Iran plainly “won.” Trump had wanted to be regaled with a reality-TV style, splendid “Victory.” Sunday’s attack on the three nuclear sites indeed was loudly proclaimed by Trump and Hegseth as such – having “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment...
A Big Beautiful Bill for the Military-Industrial Complex
by Ron Paul | Jun 30, 2025 | Featured Articles
The US Senate worked through the weekend on the “Big Beautiful Bill.” The goal was to pass it quickly to ensure the House will then pass it and send it to President Trump’s desk before the July 4th holiday. However, disagreements among Republican Senators over...
Trump Rolls Over for a New War
by Philip Giraldi | Jun 30, 2025 | Featured Articles

The War On Iran – Summing Up The First Round
by Moon of Alabama | Jun 28, 2025 | Featured Articles
USrael's long planned attack to regime change Iran did fail. Control by the military and political leadership of Iran was never in doubt. Attempts to kill Ayatollah Khamenei were unsuccessful (and would have not mattered at all). The military...
The United States Cannot Defeat Iran
by William Schryver | Jun 28, 2025 | Featured Articles
How soon people have forgotten that, earlier this year, the US dispatched two carrier strike groups and a half-dozen B-2s (and other USAF assets) to disarm the Yemeni and open the selectively blockaded Red Sea. They failed. Abysmally. For the second time! First of...
Vance Unwittingly Reminds Us of the Jose Padilla Case
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Jun 27, 2025 | Featured Articles
In mocking California Senator Alex Padilla by referring to him as “Jose,” Vice President Vance has unwittingly reminded us of the Jose Padilla case. The Padilla case showed us how government officials use “crises” to destroy the civil liberties of the people. The 9/11...
The Fictional Mental Illness That Only Affects Enemies Of The Western Empire
by Caitlin Johnstone | Jun 27, 2025 | Featured Articles
Within the storytelling of western politics and punditry there exists a fictional type of mental illness which only affects people the US empire doesn’t like. If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, its crazy lunatic government will flip out and nuke us all. Watch out for...

The Coming Police State
by Andrew P. Napolitano | Jun 26, 2025 | Featured Articles

The War on Iran is not Over
by Larry C. Johnson | Jun 26, 2025 | Featured Articles
I don’t know why Iran agreed to the ceasefire, but it did. Iranian leaders, in my opinion, are frighteningly naive. Some apparently believe that they can achieve a legitimate negotiated deal with Donald Trump. I suggest the Ayatollah and IRGC commanders read Donald...

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran(q)
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Jun 25, 2025 | Featured Articles
President Trump says it was necessary for him to order US pilots to bomb Iran to prevent that nation’s government from building a nuclear bomb. Wait a minute. Something is coming to me. Just give me a moment. It’s coming into my mind. Oh, yes, I remember: “WMDs! WMDs,...
The key nuclear allegation that started the war was coaxed from a Palantir counter-intelligence algorithm
by Alastair Crooke | Jun 24, 2025 | Featured Articles
The IAEA Board’s “Non-Compliance” Resolution on 12 June 2025 was the planned precursor for Israel’s “bolt from the blue” strike on Iran the next day. Israelis say the plan to go to war with Iran was grounded in “the opportunity” to strike, and not the intelligence...
Iran vs the US and Israel — Kabuki Theater on Steroids
by Larry C. Johnson | Jun 24, 2025 | Featured Articles
Any moment now I am expecting John Cleese (a veteran of Monty Python) to jump out of the bushes and announce the creation of the Ministry of Silly Wars, with Donald Trump as the deranged leader. For you youngsters out there, Monty Python’s skit, The Ministry of Silly...
President Trump: End the War Now!
by Ron Paul | Jun 23, 2025 | Featured Articles

Trump Takes America to War
by Philip Giraldi | Jun 23, 2025 | Featured Articles

A Day That Will Live in Infamy
by Douglas Macgregor | Jun 23, 2025 | Featured Articles
On the 21st of June, a day that will live in infamy, President Trump led the American People to War with Iran. Trump’s message to Americans? Striking Iran's three nuclear facilities is all that U.S. Forces will do. Unless, of course, the Iranians have the temerity to...
