Trump Won’t Walk Away from Ukraine War

Trump Won’t Walk Away from Ukraine War

One of the mysteries of the Ukraine endgame is that President Donald Trump did not issue an executive order on January 20 withdrawing all support for Ukraine. That would have been the easiest way to end the war.  The conditions were propitious — Candidate Trump didn’t mince words that it was a hopeless war that cost the US dearly in treasure; he thought poorly of President Volodymyr Zelensky as a shameless free rider; he saw the war as impeding his foreign-policy priority of the US...

‘One Quiet Early Morning in Beijing, the Dollar’s Crown Slipped’

‘One Quiet Early Morning in Beijing, the Dollar’s Crown Slipped’

“I believe we must start from the notion of defeat leading to revolution – to grasp the Trump revolution.” “The experience underway in the United States, even if we don’t know exactly what it will be, is revolution. Is it a revolution in the strict sense? Is it a counter-revolution?” So spoke the French historian and philosopher Emmanuel Todd in his April Moscow lecture, From Russia With Love. This [Trump revolution] is, in my opinion, linked to defeat. Various people have reported to me...

After Three Years, Ukraine is a Grim Scene

After Three Years, Ukraine is a Grim Scene

We can see that the direction of Ukrainian military operations has placed serious doubts in the minds of many of the front-line regular troops, and especially over the past year or so their uncertainty has increased and their morale has diminished. It is impossible for the Ukraine military to successfully fight on a front which covers not only the whole east of the country, but is now also expanding in the north, an entire front whose length exceeds 1,000 km from the east and may include...

A Golden Share Will Not Make America Great Again

A Golden Share Will Not Make America Great Again

Japanese company Nippon Steel’s plan to purchase US Steel was bound to provoke a strong reaction from left- and right-wing economic nationalists. After all, US Steel was once the world’s largest company, and it was the first company to be valued at over a billion dollars. US Steel was thus a symbol of America’s economic dominance. So it was not surprising that Nippon Steel’s purchase of US Steel was blocked by both the Biden and Trump administrations. This was disappointing — especially since...

Israeli Mossad Named as Funder of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

Israeli Mossad Named as Funder of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

Israel’s scheme to commandeer aid distribution in Gaza ended in chaos on May 27, with Israeli soldiers reportedly opening fire on stampeding crowds of hungry Palestinians after just 8000 boxes of rations were handed out by an opaque organization calling itself the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). 🚨BREAKING : Thousands of starved Gazans stormed the dystopian Israeli-American aid complex in west Rafah after being forced to stand in endless queues under the scorching sun inside a fenced camp,...

Putting Israel First, Rubio Victimizes Harmless Student Over Op-Ed

Putting Israel First, Rubio Victimizes Harmless Student Over Op-Ed

Given Marco Rubio’s long history of subservience to the State of Israel — which has earned him a mountain of campaign cash from the country’s US-based collaborators — many Americans were understandably wary that his ascension from senator to secretary of State portended disturbing moves to advance Israel’s interests. However, few foresaw Rubio orchestrating the abduction, imprisonment and deportation of foreign students for using their universal human right of free speech to criticize the...

‘Bad Things’ Happen in Washington

‘Bad Things’ Happen in Washington

There were quite a lot of what Donald Trump might describe as “bad things” taking place in Washington over the past week, to include the worsening of relations with China shortly after what appeared to be an agreement had been reached over tariffs; the arrival at an apparent impasse in negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program; and friction with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over possible initiatives relating to the genocide that is continuing in Gaza. The pointless break...

The Military’s and CIA’s Assassination of JFK

The Military’s and CIA’s Assassination of JFK

There are two types of evidence in criminal cases — direct evidence and circumstantial evidence. Direct evidence comes in the form of things like confessions, admissions, or eyewitness testimony. Circumstantial evidence comes in the form of indirect evidence. For people who believe only in direct evidence, they will never accept the fact that the U.S. military-intelligence establishment orchestrated and carried out the assassination of President Kennedy. That’s because there is no direct...

Great Words From President Trump And Others

Great Words From President Trump And Others

As many people know, I have spent most of my waking hours reading – books, newspapers, magazines – for work and pleasure since probably my early teens. Two of my favorite nationally syndicated columnists are now deceased: Charley Reese died in 2013 and Georgie Anne Geyer in 2019. Both became columnists after long careers as newspaper reporters. Both would have loved President Trump’s recent speech in Riyadh in which he attacked neocons, nation builders and interventionists. Both wrote words in...

Punishing Freedom

Punishing Freedom

All attempts by the government to evaluate the content of speech and deter or punish what the government and its benefactors hate or fear is un-American, unconstitutional and unlawful; and if not stopped, will reduce the American people to serfdom. During the past three months, the Trump administration has sought to withhold the delivery of governmental benefits in order to punish or reform its perceived political opponents. These opponents -- in the understanding of the White House -- are...

The Deadly Perils of Predatory Idealism

The Deadly Perils of Predatory Idealism

How would people react if, on the third time their broken-down car was towed to the same repair shop for the same problem, the swaggering mechanic told them: “Sure — the engine doesn’t work today but — follow me on this — next year, you will drive from coast to coast, and get 90 miles to the gallon!” Yet if a politician promises to fix the world, people applaud and follow him regardless of previous crashes. Woodrow Wilson revolutionized the political exploitation of idealism. In his 1917...

The Algocracy Agenda: How AI and the Deep State Are Digitizing Tyranny

The Algocracy Agenda: How AI and the Deep State Are Digitizing Tyranny

The Deep State is not going away. It’s just being replaced. As we stand on the brink of a new technological order, the machinery of power is quietly shifting into the hands of algorithms. Under Donald Trump’s watch, that shift is being locked in for at least a generation. Trump’s latest legislative initiative—a 10-year ban on AI regulation buried within the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—strips state and local governments of the ability to impose any guardrails on artificial intelligence (AI)...

Germany Moves to Thwart Trump’s Ukraine Peace Initiative

Germany Moves to Thwart Trump’s Ukraine Peace Initiative

Efforts to bring peace to Ukraine just received a stifling blow. German Chancellor Fredrich Merz, with less than a month in office, has stepped forward to set back the US sponsored peace initiative.Trump wants to bring Ukraine and Russia together for a peaceful settlement of the war. He is very focused on stopping the killing in Ukraine.But now Merz has emerged with an initiative that seems counter to that. He apparently favors supplying German Taurus missiles to Ukraine.The general notion of...

The Blair-Bush Project in Syria That Brought Al Qaeda to Power

“Sykes-Picot is breaking; putting it back together, even in a different shape, will be a long and bloody affair”. So wrote Tim Marshall back in 2016 in his book Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need to Know about Global Politics — essentially a eulogy for European and British border redrawing, particularly in the Middle East (West Asia) region.  Syria withstood decades of clandestine operations by MI6 and the CIA to reshape history in a sovereign nation...

Donald Trump’s Lack of Critical Thinking Skills with Respect to Russia and Ukraine

Donald Trump grabbed headlines on Monday with his Sunday outburst directed primarily at Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Here’s his rant: I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece...

A Week Long Drone Fight Which Russia Is Winning

A Week Long Drone Fight Which Russia Is Winning

Over the last seven days the Ukrainian military has launched over one thousand drones against targets in Russia. Most of these were shot down by Russian air defenses. There are no reports of any serious damage. The biggest effect the week long drone attacks achieved was to shut down air traffic in Moscow for several hours. After waiting a few days the Russian military responded in kind. Over the last three days a record number of drones and missiles were launched against...
