The United States Vetoes Yet Another UN Humanitarian Ceasefire Over Gaza

The United States Vetoes Yet Another UN Humanitarian Ceasefire Over Gaza

by | Feb 21, 2024 |

There have been several interesting developments relating to Israel’s ongoing destruction of Gaza and its people, but one might well question the motives of at least one of the principal players in the drama, namely Joe Biden’s United States government. Last Tuesday the United States, acting to protect Israel, vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution, arguing that it would “jeopardize” the ongoing negotiations between the two parties to release the Israeli hostages and...

Washington’s ‘Credibility’ Gap

This article first appeared as an exclusive update to RPI subscribers. Subscribe for free here. I know one good writer for the American Greatness publication - Julie Kelly who writes on the injustice of the January 6th persecutions - but even though I get their regular updates in my email box I never open them up. It seems like more or less just another of the "conservative" outlets that churn out highly political and politicized fodder - with plenty of "outrage stories" -  not very well...

The Resistance Has a Plan for Israel. But on the Other Side, Fantastical U.S. Stratagems Ensure a Cascading Failure

The Resistance Has a Plan for Israel. But on the Other Side, Fantastical U.S. Stratagems Ensure a Cascading Failure

by | Feb 20, 2024 |

In a speech on Tuesday, Hizbullah leader Seyed Nasrallah said that the Party will continue the border offensive until at least the Gaza massacre stops. The war in Gaza however, is far from over. And Nasrallah warned that even were a ceasefire to be reached in Gaza, “should the enemy perform any action, we will return to operating according to the rules and formulas that existed before. The purpose of the resistance is to deter the enemy, and we will react accordingly.” Israel’s...

Biden White House: FISA Good, Warrants Bad

Biden White House: FISA Good, Warrants Bad

by | Feb 20, 2024 |

Former president Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked what he generically refers to as the Washington, DC “deep state”—usually an inference about the FBI’s misuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to target his 2016 presidential campaign. On Valentine’s Day, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan made it clear that it’s not some nebulous, governmental Illuminati‐​style cabal seeking to retain the power to spy at scale on Americans. It’s the Biden administration...

How the CIA Destabilizes the World

How the CIA Destabilizes the World

by | Feb 19, 2024 |

There are three basic problems with the CIA: its objectives, methods, and unaccountability. Its operational objectives are whatever the CIA or the President of the United States defines to be in the U.S. interest at a given time, irrespective of international law or U.S. law. Its methods are secretive and duplicitous. Its unaccountability means that the CIA and president run foreign policy without any public scrutiny. Congress is a doormat, a sideshow. As a recent CIA Director, Mike...

Protect the First Amendment: Impeach Joe Biden!

Protect the First Amendment: Impeach Joe Biden!

by | Feb 19, 2024 |

Protecting democracy and the Constitution from Donald Trump and the “MAGA extremists” is a major theme of President Biden’s reelection campaign. As is often the case in American politics, President Biden is just as, if not more, guilty of posing an “existential threat” to the Constitution as those he smears as “extremists.” For example, President Biden and members of his administration have waged a campaign to undermine the First Amendment by “encouraging” companies to suppress the expression...

American Foreign Policy Seems to Have Nowhere to Go

American Foreign Policy Seems to Have Nowhere to Go

by | Feb 17, 2024 |

Over the past four months I have carried out my daily morning scan of the major online news websites increasingly concerned over what I would be seeing given the mainstream media’s reluctance to report honestly and the persistent management by government propaganda mills of what is leaked to the journalists. News regarding what is taking place with Russia-Ukraine suffered initially as the war turned sharply in Moscow’s favor late last year, so much so that the likely outcome is only being...

Don’t Spare the Billions

Don’t Spare the Billions

by | Feb 17, 2024 |

When I was a boy growing up in New York City I was taught – and re-taught – to always save half of my weekly allowance and never spend more than I had in savings. Too bad Joe Biden was not taught this useful Presbyterian virtue. Recently, Biden’s government has sought $106 billion in the latest aid for arms for Israel and Ukraine, the biggest expenditure since the Vietnam War. This while the bills for the incredibly foolish war in Afghanistan keep coming in, to date $2 trillion. Now, the US in...

He Was One of Six Republican House Members to Vote Against the Iraq War in 2002, Now He is Running to Regain His Old House Seat, Promising to Oppose the Ukraine War.

by | Feb 16, 2024 |

War fever was running high in America, and especially among Republicans, on October 10, 2002. That is when the United States House of Representatives voted on H.J.Res. 114, a resolution sponsored by House Speaker Dennis J. Hastert and demanded by President George W. Bush — both Republicans. The resolution would authorize the US to use military force against Iraq. While a majority of Democratic House members voted against the resolution, the vote among Republicans was heavily in favor. Just six...

The Worries of a Retiring NSA Chief

The Worries of a Retiring NSA Chief

by | Feb 16, 2024 |

Gen. Paul M. Nakasone, who recently retired as director of the National Security Agency, is worried. He’s worried about terrorism, drug cartels, Russia, China, hackers, spies, and other scary things. His many worries are detailed in an op-ed he has in the Washington Post today entitled, “What Worries Me Most After Five Years as Leader of the NSA.” Surprisingly, for some unknown reason, Nakasone expressed no worry whatsoever about the “invasion” of illegal immigrants on our southern...

Government and Death

by | Feb 16, 2024 |

When the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche proclaimed that God was dead, he didn’t mean it literally, as that would have been impossible. He meant that God’s creatures have so failed to acknowledge Him and relate to Him, it is as if He decided to end His own existence. Stated differently, Nietzsche recognized that Christianity had ceased to be influential in contemporary life. Though properly rejected as a madman, he reminded the world that the loss of virtue can only be sustained from...

The Eyes Have It: US Intelligence Allegedly Asked Foreign Countries to Surveil Trump Associates

The Eyes Have It: US Intelligence Allegedly Asked Foreign Countries to Surveil Trump Associates

by | Feb 15, 2024 |

There is a disturbing report published on Michael Shellenberger’s Public Substack detailing how the U.S. intelligence community called upon foreign governments to target associates of Donald Trump before the 2016 election. The request to the “Five Eyes” agencies (the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) appears to have come from Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan. According to Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag, foreign intelligence agencies...

The Global Deep State: A Fascist World Order Funded by the American Taxpayer

The Global Deep State: A Fascist World Order Funded by the American Taxpayer

by | Feb 14, 2024 |

The debate over U.S. foreign aid is a distraction. That’s not to say that the amount of taxpayer money flowing to foreign countries in the form of military and economic assistance is insignificant. Even at less than 1% of the federal budget, the United States still spends more on foreign aid than any other nation. Moreover, this financial tyranny persists whether it’s a Democrat or Republican at the helm. However, the government is spending money it doesn’t have...

(This article first appeared as an exclusive update to RPI subscribers. Subscribe for free here.) Why does the US military budget keep skyrocketing? The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2024 passed in December came in at a whopping $841.1 billion, and that's just part of the total amount that will be spent on military-related issues this year. Just this weekend, for example, the Senate cleared the way for a nearly $100 billion in additional spending to boost the military...

The US is edging closer to war with Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces, a state security agency composed of armed groups, some of which are close to Iran, but which for the main are Iraqi nationalists. The US carried out a drone strike in Baghdad, Wednesday that killed three members of the Kataeb Hizbullah forces, including a senior commander. One of the assassinated, al-Saadi, is the most senior figure to have been assassinated in Iraq since the 2020 drone strike that killed senior...

Tucker Slayed the Mainstream Media Dragon

by | Feb 12, 2024 |

There has been much written and said about Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week. As of this writing the video on Twitter alone has been viewed nearly 200 million times, making it likely the most-viewed news event in history. Many millions of viewers who may not have had access to the other side of the story were informed that the Russia/Ukraine military conflict did not begin in 2022, as the mainstream media continuously reports, but in fact began eight...
