Now that US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Assad’s fate will be decided by the Syrian people and US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, told reporters…“You pick and choose your battles. And when we’re looking at this it’s about changing up priorities and our priority is no longer to sit and focus on getting Assad out,” neocon Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went ballistic at the prospects of Assad staying is power.McCain is visibly upset that the...

Ron Paul Rewind (1999): ‘Our Foolish Policy in Iraq Invites Terrorist Attacks Against US Territory’
by Daniel McAdams | Mar 31, 2017 | Featured Articles
Ron Paul went to the House Floor in 1999 to blast President Clinton's claim that a 1991 UN resolution gave him authority to launch an air war against Iraq. It could have been 2017, the president could be Trump, the claim of authority could be the 2001 authorization to use military force, and the air war could be against Yemen, Syria, Iraq, etc. The circumstances are identical. Rep. Paul also predicted that, "our foolish policy in Iraq invites terrorist attacks against US territory and incites...
There Was No ‘Russian Hacking’ of the 2016 Election
by Justin Raimondo | Mar 31, 2017 | Featured Articles
The “cyber-security” firm that everyone is depending on to make the case for Russia’s alleged “hacking” of the 2016 presidential election, CrowdStrike, has just retracted a key component of its analysis – but the “mainstream” media continues to chug along, ignoring any facts that contradict their preferred narrative.As Voice of America – hardly an instrument of Russian propaganda! – reports: US cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has revised and retracted statements it used to buttress claims of...
Mosul: Where Obama’s Last Gambit Could Ruin Trump
by Martin Jay | Mar 31, 2017 | Featured Articles
Here’s why the bombing has to stop and what US journalists are not telling you: hundreds are dying in Mosul, not at the hands of ISIS, but through a failed military strategy which no one, it seems, has the guts to tell President Trump cannot achieve its objectives.Does Trump actually really know what he is doing in Mosul or is he wildly deluded? There is a military solution to killing ISIS there, but who will be the one to present it to him?Hugh Hewitt is a card. The pro-Trump American radio...
Constitutional Q&A: The Legality of Stop and ID Procedures
by John W. Whitehead | Mar 29, 2017 | Featured Articles
We are not supposed to be living in a “show me your papers” society.Despite this, the US government has recently introduced measures allowing police and other law enforcement officials to stop individuals (citizens and noncitizens alike), demand they identify themselves, and subject them to pat-downs, warrantless searches, and interrogations. These actions fly in the face of longstanding constitutional safeguards forbidding such police state tactics.In 2017, for example, Customs and Border...
Ending Syria’s Nightmare will Take Pressure From Below
by Mike Whitney | Mar 28, 2017 | Featured Articles
Ominous developments in east Syria have drawn the United States and Russia into closer proximity increasing the likelihood of a violent confrontation. The Trump administration has embarked on a dangerous plan to defeat the terrorist militia, ISIS, in Raqqa. But recent comments by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson suggest that Washington’s long-term strategy may conflict with Moscow’s goal of restoring Syria’s sovereign borders. Something’s got to give. Either Russia ceases its clearing...
Death at Your Door: Knock-and-Talk Police Tactics Rip a Hole in the Constitution
by John W. Whitehead | Mar 28, 2017 | Featured Articles
It’s 1:30 a.m., a time when most people are asleep.Your neighborhood is in darkness, except for a few street lamps. Someone—he doesn’t identify himself and the voice isn’t familiar—is pounding on your front door, demanding that you open up. Your heart begins racing. Your stomach is tied in knots. The adrenaline is pumping through you. You fear that it’s an intruder or worse. You not only fear for your life, but the lives of your loved ones.The aggressive pounding continues, becoming more...
Trump’s War on Terror Has Quickly Become as Barbaric and Savage as He Promised
by Glenn Greenwald | Mar 27, 2017 | Featured Articles
From the start of his presidency, Donald Trump’s “war on terror” has entailed the seemingly indiscriminate slaughter of innocent people in the name of killing terrorists. In other words, Trump has escalated the 16-year-old core premise of America’s foreign policy — that it has the right to bomb any country in the world where people it regards as terrorists are found — and in doing so, has fulfilled the warped campaign pledges he repeatedly expressed.The most recent atrocity was the killing of...
Did the Government Spy on Trump? Of Course. It Spies on All of Us!
by Ron Paul | Mar 27, 2017 | Featured Articles
There was high drama last week when Rep. Devin Nunes announced at the White House that he had seen evidence that the communications of the Donald Trump campaign people, and perhaps even Trump himself, had been “incidentally collected” by the US government. If true, this means that someone authorized the monitoring of Trump campaign communications using Section 702 of the FISA Act. Could it have been then-President Obama? We don’t know. Could it have been other political enemies looking for...
Macedonia to George Soros and USAID: Go Away
by Victor Gaetan | Mar 24, 2017 | Featured Articles
Small but mighty Macedonia is the mouse that roared this year, declaring war on George Soros, 86, and his US Government handmaidens, who, incredibly, have financed a left-wing agenda to divide the nation and bring a socialist-Muslim coalition to power.It was the kind of Obama Administration manipulation that was so routine that it passed unnoticed in 2012, when USAID/Skopje selected Soros’ Foundation Open Society Macedonia (FOSM) to manage $2.5 million in taxpayer dollars earmarked for...
‘Has America become North Korea, where speaking to Russia is forbidden?’
by RT | Mar 24, 2017 | Featured Articles
It is natural that half of Washington works as lobbyists for foreign governments: Israeli, the UK, Macedonia, Germany. It is acceptable to speak with any country aside from Russia, says Daniel McAdams, executive director of the Ron Paul Institute.The chief of the US House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, has apologized to committee members for disclosing information on surveillance relating to Donald Trump.Nunes revealed, before telling his committee colleagues, that communications...
The evidence that the Russians hacked the DNC is collapsing
by Justin Raimondo | Mar 24, 2017 | Featured Articles
The allegation – now accepted as incontrovertible fact by the “mainstream” media – that the Russian intelligence services hacked the Democratic National Committee (and John Podesta’s emails) in an effort to help Donald Trump get elected recently suffered a blow from which it may not recover.Crowdstrike is the cybersecurity company hired by the DNC to determine who hacked their accounts: it took them a single day to determine the identity of the culprits – it was, they said, two groups of...
Is Tillerson Skipping NATO for Russia a Crisis? (No.)
by Peter van Buren | Mar 23, 2017 | Featured Articles
Is Tillerson committing treason skipping a NATO meeting for Russia? A diplomatic crisis? The end of the alliance? A favor to Putin? No. It’s just a scheduling decision.Senior government leaders are often called on to be in more than one place at a time. They make choices. Not everyone agrees with those choices. Sometimes deputies go instead. This happens to every country; the more global a nation’s interests, the more it happens. None of this is new.Yet a decision to have Secretary of State...
Fool Me Once: Crowdstrike Claimed Two Cases Of ‘Russian Hacking.’ One Has Been Proven Wrong.
by Moon of Alabama | Mar 22, 2017 | Featured Articles
The cyber-security company Crowdstrike claimed that the "Russia" hacked the Democratic National Committee. It also claimed that "Russia" hacked artillery units of the Ukrainian army. The second claim has now be found to be completely baseless. That same is probably the case with its claims related to the DNC.Sometime around May 2016 the Democratic National Committee lost control over its email archives. It claimed that its servers had been "hacked" by someone related to Russian interests. DNC...
Is North Korea An ‘Imminent Threat’?
by Daniel McAdams | Mar 22, 2017 | Featured Articles
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said recently that "everything is on the table" to confront North Korea unless the country gives up its nuclear weapons program, meaning presumably a US pre-emptive attack. But surely Kim Jong-Un is aware of what happened to Libya's Gaddafi when he listened to US demands and abandoned his nuclear weapons program -- he was invaded and murdered! So the US suffers from its own aggressive foreign policy, and its words are meaningless next to its actions. Is North...
