Shutting down the Department of Education and returning control of the education dollar to the American people is the key to improving education. The best way to put the people in charge of education is by shutting down all unconstitutional bureaucracies, repealing the Sixteenth Amendment, and ending the Federal Reserve’s money monopoly. Since Congress is unlikely to restore constitutional, limited government in the near future, supporters of quality education must advance policies aimed at...

Daniel McAdams, the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, has explained that it is being done for political purposes.Sputnik: What do you make of the move against RT?

Foreign Agents Registration Act Marked by History of Politicization, Selective Enforcement
by Whitney Webb | Nov 11, 2017 | Featured Articles
Though it garnered renewed interest thanks to Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump administration and the rise of “Russiagate” hysteria, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) of 1938 has been irregularly enforced over the course of its 79-year history. Despite nearly eight decades on the books, the law has resulted in only a handful of prosecutions and a single conviction, suggesting that the government’s enforcement of the law has been lax — to say the least. Originally intended...
Can Trump Salvage his Presidency?
by Hillary Mann Leverett | Nov 11, 2017 | Featured Articles
As US President Donald Trump marks the first anniversary of his election with a high-profile, 11-day tour of Asia, the spotlight remains largely fixed on Washington investigations into whether his presidential campaign "colluded" with Russia and whether these investigations could truncate Trump's tenure - much as Watergate truncated Richard Nixon's. But as the Watergate scandal was closing in on then President Nixon, he did not let fulminating against his critics keep him from extending a...
America’s ‘Allies’ Are Setting Up Another Trap for US in the Middle East
by Philip Giraldi | Nov 10, 2017 | Featured Articles
Whatever their plans, the stakeholders in the Middle East must remember that clever plans to remake the Middle East have hitherto been remarkable for their inability to anticipate countermoves by opposing forces.Tension is increasing all across the Middle East and the United States is again falling into a trap set up by its so-called allies to act against its own interests by getting deeply involved in what might turn out to be an escalating conflict. The recent victories by the Syrian Army...
Manipulation: The US State Department’s New Program to Take On Hungarian Media
by Daniel McAdams | Nov 10, 2017 | Featured Articles
Hypocrisy may be the only consistent guiding principle of US foreign policy. Here's a prime example of the "do as we say, not as we do" that is the core of how Washington does business overseas: In the same week that the the US Justice Department demanded that the Russian-backed RT America network register as a foreign propaganda entity or face arrest, the US State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DNL) has announced that it is launching a program to massively interfere...
South Korea Should ‘Brexit’ the United States
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Nov 8, 2017 | Featured Articles
With President Trump being accompanied by three U.S. carrier groups during his trip to Korea, South Koreans should pull a “Brexit” on the United States. As I counseled last April and August in two separate articles, South Korea should dissolve their alliance with the United States and kick all U.S. troops out of the country. (See “South Korea Should Give U.S. Troops the Boot” and “South Korea Should Give U.S. Troops the Boot, Part 2.) The time to do so is now, before it is too late.The top...
The Creation of ‘Russia-Gate’
by Joe Lauria | Nov 8, 2017 | Featured Articles
The two sources that originated the allegations claiming that Russia meddled in the 2016 election — without providing convincing evidence — were both paid for by the Democratic National Committee, and in one instance also by the Clinton campaign: the Steele dossier and the CrowdStrike analysis of the DNC servers. Think about that for a minute. We have long known that the DNC did not allow the FBI to examine its computer server for clues about who may have hacked it – or even if it was hacked –...
America Breaks Down: The Anatomy of a National Nervous Breakdown
by John W. Whitehead | Nov 7, 2017 | Featured Articles
'This country has been having a nationwide nervous breakdown since 9/11. A nation of people suddenly broke, the market economy goes to shit, and they’re threatened on every side by an unknown, sinister enemy. But I don't think fear is a very effective way of dealing with things—of responding to reality. Fear is just another word for ignorance.'—Hunter S. Thompson, gonzo journalist Another shooting, another day in America.Or so it seems.With alarming regularity, the nation is being subjected to...
Dubious Osama bin Laden Documents: A Pretext for a War on Iran
by Kurt Nimmo | Nov 6, 2017 | Featured Articles
The CIA has given the Long War Journal exclusive access to the supposed Osama bin Laden files taken from his “compound” in Pakistan.The Long War Journal is a project of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) where its editors are senior fellows. The foundation is a refuge for neocons and a staunch supporters of Israel and its policies. It is also a vocal advocate of confronting Iran.So it shouldn’t come as a surprise the CIA “shared” a carefully selected portion of the...
GOP Tax Plan Increases the Most Insidious Tax
by Ron Paul | Nov 6, 2017 | Featured Articles
Last Thursday, congressional Republicans unveiled their tax reform legislation. On the same day, President Trump nominated current Federal Reserve Board Governor Jerome Powell to succeed Janet Yellen as Federal Reserve chair. While the tax plan dominated the headlines, the Powell appointment will have much greater long-term impact. Federal Reserve policies affect every aspect of the economy, including whether the Republican tax plan will produce long-term economic growth.President Obama made...
Visitors to the Colony of Afghanistan
by Brian Cloughley | Nov 4, 2017 | Featured Articles
Military clock cropped out of photo on right to make it look like Kabul instead of US military base.US and NATO representatives keep trying to convince the world that Afghanistan is not a corruption-ridden quagmire of violence, and US Defence Secretary, General Mattis, told reporters in Kabul on September 28 that “uncertainty has been replaced by certainty” because of new US policy, and that “the sooner the Taliban recognizes they cannot win with bombs, the sooner the killing will end.”At the...
Facebook Farce Shows Lawmaker Deviousness, Demagoguery
by James Bovard | Nov 4, 2017 | Featured Articles
The 2016 election was the first time in history that goofy advertisements were considered an act of war. The frenzy on Capitol Hill over a smattering of Russian advertisements would be comical except that most of the American media has jumped on the hysteria bandwagon. The latest clamor is a stark warning to anyone who presumes that politicians are natural friends of freedom of speech.Russian political advertisements amounted to only .004 percent of the total content that Facebook users saw...

`Take up the white man’s burden’Rudyard Kipling, poet laureate of British imperialismThe British Empire, which at the end of the 19th century ruled one quarter of the earth’s land surface, is long gone. But its robust successor and heir, the United States, has set about enlarging it.As I sought to explain in my last book "American Raj – How the US Rules the Muslim World," the US imperium exerts its power by controlling tame, compliant regimes around the world and their economies. They are...
‘It Sure Looked Unethical’: Brazile Discloses Deal That Gave Hillary Clinton Control Over DNC Before Primary
by Jonathan Turley | Nov 3, 2017 | Featured Articles
The DNC and Clinton emails released by Wikileaks ultimately exposed a pattern of false statements by Democratic leaders particularly Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Schultz insisted that they were completely neutral in the primary despite every indication to the contrary. It was later revealed that Donna Brazile, who replaced Schultz, had first leaked questions for the debate with Sanders to Clinton and then lied about the incriminating emails later to the media (she suggested that they were fake)....

Here it is, right from the horse’s mouth! Qatar’s former prime minister spills his guts about how his country worked with Saudi Arabia and Turkey under the direction of the United States – meaning then the Obama Administration – to funnel arms and money to jihad terrorists in Syria: The explosive interview constitutes a high level 'public admission to collusion and coordination between four countries to destabilize an independent state, [including] possible support for Nusra/al-Qaeda.' ......
