The North Korean “crisis” is a Washington orchestration. North Korea was last at war 1950-53. North Korea has not attacked or invaded anyone in 64 years. North Korea lacks the military strength to attack any country, such as South Korea and Japan, that is protected by the US. Moreover, China would not permit North Korea to start a war. So what is the demonization of North Korea by the presstitutes and Trump administration about?It is about the same thing that the demonization of Iran was...

Madison Was Right About War
by Jacob G. Hornberger | May 4, 2017 | Featured Articles
Given that so many Americans continue to express gratitude to the troops for their forever service in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and elsewhere, it would be worthwhile to revisit the immortal words of James Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution: Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and...
Welcome to the White House, President Duterte
by Adam Dick | May 3, 2017 | Featured Articles
Part of noninterventionism in foreign affairs is refraining from using threats, sanctions, foreign aid, or military attacks to make the governments of other countries change their actions in their own countries. The United States government has drifted so far from adherence to this standard that much media coverage expresses distress and amazement, due to Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal domestic actions, that US President Donald Trump cordially spoke Saturday with Duterte in a...
War or Peace?
by Dennis J. Kucinich | May 3, 2017 | Featured Articles
There is a dangerous condition in Washington, DC where people in positions of influence and great power are, at this very moment, pushing this nation and the world to the brink of a nuclear catastrophe. We did not arrive at crisis overnight but be sure we are at a moment of peril. Unless an enlightened citizenry on campuses, in town halls, in community centers, in places of work, play and worship, is aroused and demands our government step back from the brink, we may find the life of our...
The Real WMD in Syria – West’s Weapon of Mass Disorientation
by Finian Cunningham | May 2, 2017 | Featured Articles
A senior Rand analyst, inadvertently, gave the game away in a recent article inculpating Syrian President Bashar al Assad over the alleged toxic massacre of civilians on April 4. The Rand Corporation, a longtime conduit for CIA propaganda, wrote: "The use of chemical weapons today provokes international condemnation… Those who order their deployment risk being charged with war crimes."The Western objective, as tacitly admitted above, is therefore to brand the Syrian leader and his government...
Big Brother Is Still Watching You: Don’t Fall for the NSA’s Latest Ploy
by John W. Whitehead | May 1, 2017 | Featured Articles
“You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.”—George Orwell, 1984 Supposedly the National Security Administration is going to stop collecting certain internet communications that merely mention a foreign intelligence target.Privacy advocates are hailing it as a major victory for Americans whose communications have been caught in the NSA’s dragnet.If this is a victory,...
Peace: Neither Ink nor Blood
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb | May 1, 2017 | Featured Articles
One of the problems of the interventionista – wanting to get involved in other people’s affairs “in order to help”, while genuinely wanting to do good, results in disrupting some of the peace-making mechanisms that are inherent in human’s affairs, a combination of collaboration and strategic hostility. As we saw in the prologue, the error continues because someone else is paying the price.I speculate that had IYIs (intellectuals yet idiots) and their friends not gotten involved, problems such...
Save Liberty, Shut Down the Government
by Ron Paul | May 1, 2017 | Featured Articles
Congress ended the week by passing a continuing resolution keeping the government funded for one more week. This stopgap funding bill is designed to give Congress and the White House more time to negotiate a long-term spending bill. Passage of a long-term spending bill has been delayed over objections to Republican efforts to preserve Obamcare's key features but give states a limited ability to opt out of some Obamacare mandates.This type of brinkmanship has become standard operating procedure...
President Trump: You Can’t Fight the Whole World
by Eric Margolis | Apr 30, 2017 | Featured Articles
Maybe the president believes he’s won a great victory over the wicked Syrians by lobbing cruise missiles at one of their underused air bases. Maybe Trump believes that he’s scared the evil Russians and the too big for their sampans Chinese into obedience.His 22,000 lb MOAB terror bomb on Afghanistan should keep those pesky Taliban quiet for a while even though the Pentagon claimed the intended target was a group – Khorosan – that may not actually exist.Those major malefactors, the crazy North...
Two Western Narratives on North Korea; Both Cannot be True
by Adam Garrie | Apr 30, 2017 | Featured Articles
Friday night’s failed missile launch by North Korea has exposed a kind of cognitive dissonance in the western mainstream media and also some alt-media sources.On the one hand, North Korea is an evil state whose nuclear weapons and advanced delivery systems are capable of setting hell-fire upon East Asia and even parts of the western United States.At the same time, some of these same sources are promulgating an antithetical narrative that North Korea is little more than an ineffective...
Saddam Hussein at 80: Iraq Without its ‘Liberation’
by Neil Clark | Apr 29, 2017 | Featured Articles
What would have happened had there been no Iraq War in 2003 and Saddam Hussein had stayed in power? Where would we be today?It’s the 28th of April 2017. Saddam Hussein, president of Iraq, now a member state of the newly reconstituted United Arab Republic (with Syria and Egypt), is celebrating his 80th birthday. There are big processions on a gloriously sunny and very hot day in Baghdad. Among visiting foreign heads of state was Zimbabwe’s 93-year-old President Robert Mugabe, who joked that if...

Phony Hysterics Over North Korea
by Justin Raimondo | Apr 28, 2017 | Featured Articles
A lot of my job as editorial director of Antiwar.com is cutting through the veil of obfuscation with which the War Party masks its ill intentions. But sometimes you don’t even have to read between the lines to see what our conniving rulers are up to. Such is the case with the current war scare around North Korea.President Trump is playing this for all it’s worth, summoning the Senate to a special conclave at the White House to inform them of the supposedly dire threat. This ostentatious...
Trump’s Foreign Policy after 100 Days: Tweeting with Bombs?
by Nile Bowie | Apr 28, 2017 | Featured Articles
As US President Donald Trump prepares to mark 100 days in office, the administration’s foreign policy approach has become a painful disappointment to anyone with mildly optimistic expectations Washington would take a more realist approach to its role in the world. In no time at all, Trump has strayed from the 'America First’ rhetoric on the campaign trail and reversed course in a remarkable way. His decision to launch cruise missile strikes against Syria’s government on painfully a pretense,...
Do American Airports Suck? Yes, Yes They Do
by Peter van Buren | Apr 28, 2017 | Featured Articles
Traveling by air in America is one of the best ways to see the country, although it is not always the nicest view. I recently took a fresh look, with the goal of advising my foreign friends what to expect when they drop by the United States.Our Air PalacesYou’ll enjoy our older airports’ retro-touches, which evoke the Golden Age of air travel of the 1950s and 1960s. The typical lack of free WiFi, just like when your parents first visited America, the two electrical outlets serving an entire...
CIA Director Pompeo Doesn’t Understand the First Amendment
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Apr 27, 2017 | Featured Articles
You would think that by the time a person becomes the Director of the CIA, he would have a correct understanding of the Constitution, which is the founding document of the federal government, which the CIA is part of. This should be especially true when the CIA Director is a former member of Congress, a graduate of West Point, and the holder of a law degree from Harvard.Embarrassingly, such is not the case with CIA Director and former U.S. Congressman Mike Pompeo. In a speech delivered at the...
