Please.Somebody give Attorney General Jeff Sessions a copy of the Constitution.And while you’re at it, get a copy to President Trump, too.In fact, you might want to share a copy with the nation’s police officers, as well.I have my doubts that any of these individuals—all of whom swore to uphold and defend the Constitution—have ever read any of the nation’s founding documents.Had they actually read and understood the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights, there would be...

Why is US Media Ignoring Prof. Postol’s Study on Syria Chemical Weapons Attack?
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 24, 2017 | Featured Articles
The Trump Administration announced today that it was placing 271 Syrian scientists under sanctions for what it claimed was their work on producing chemical weapons for the Assad government. As with the chemical attack in Idlib earlier this month, for which the US blamed Assad, there was no proof provided. RPI Director Daniel McAdams joined RT today to discuss the current state of US policy toward Syria and the double standards when it comes to reporting and investigating civilian deaths in...
Tell Us Why We’re At War, President Trump
by Peter van Buren | Apr 24, 2017 | Featured Articles
People speak of Afghanistan as “our generation’s” Vietnam, a quagmire, a war that goes on simply because it has been going on.The Afghan war is dragging into being our generation’s, and soon the next generation’s Vietnam as well, over a decade and a half old. There are troops deploying now that were two years old when the conflict started. There are fathers and sons deploying together. Bin Laden’s been dead for years.With a slight break, the current war in Iraq has been ongoing for some 14...
Will the FBI Spy on the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity? It Wouldn’t Surprise Me
by Michael S. Rozeff | Apr 24, 2017 | Featured Articles
Carter Page is an FBI target of investigation, and he shouldn’t be. He has been under surveillance for years, and he shouldn’t be. The FBI’s reasons are his associations with Russians, built through business and financial matters, and his views on U.S. foreign policy toward Russia that are critical of U.S. foreign policy.On grounds like these, the FBI could build a case for spying on a large number of people looking to do business with Russians. The FBI could also spy on many, many people in...

Candidate Trump: ‘I Love Wikileaks.’ President Trump: ‘Arrest Assange!’
by Ron Paul | Apr 24, 2017 | Featured Articles
“I love Wikileaks,” candidate Donald Trump said on October 10th on the campaign trail. He praised the organization for reporting on the darker side of the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was information likely leaked by a whistleblower from within the Clinton campaign to Wikileaks. Back then he praised Wikileaks for promoting transparency, but candidate Trump looks less like President Trump every day. The candidate praised whistleblowers and Wikileaks often on the campaign trail. In fact,...
France: Will ‘La Morosite’ Win the Vote?
by Eric Margolis | Apr 22, 2017 | Featured Articles
I watched the final French presidential debate last Thursday night with fascination and even a measure of admiration. France has some very intelligent, well-educated politicians. They are fine until they get into office but then must begin pleasing France’s fractious voters.And they must deal with the rising tide of jihadist violence in France, as witnessed by the shooting of police officers on the Champs Elysée on Thursday. This could help far right candidate Marine Le Pen.One is reminded of...
US ‘Deep State’ Sold Out Counter-Terrorism to Keep Itself in Business
by Gareth Porter | Apr 22, 2017 | Featured Articles
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman outraged many readers when he wrote an opinion piece on 12 April calling on President Trump to "back off fighting territorial ISIS in Syria". The reason he gave for that recommendation was not that US wars in the Middle East are inevitably self-defeating and endless, but that it would reduce the "pressure on Assad, Iran, Russia and Hezbollah".That suggestion that the US sell out its interest in counter-terrorism in the Middle East to gain some advantage in...

Valerian, the human footstoolSkin in the Game is necessary to reduce the effects of the following divergences that arose mainly as a side effect of civilization: action and cheap talk (tawk), consequence and intention, practice and theory, honor and reputation, expertise and pseudo-expertise, concrete and abstract, ethical and legal, genuine and cosmetic, entrepreneur and bureaucrat, entrepreneur and chief executive, strength and display, love and gold-digging, Coventry and Brussels, Omaha and...
The Spy State Unleashed
by Justin Raimondo | Apr 21, 2017 | Featured Articles
After hearing about an alleged Russian plot to throw the election to Donald Trump for eight months, amid leaks by “former government and intelligence officials,” this media narrative being pushed relentlessly by Rachel Maddow and the fake journalists over at CNN has come to naught. I’ve pinned a tweet to the top of my Twitter profile that’s my answer to this sort of nonsense: Where's the evidence? — Justin Raimondo (@JustinRaimondo) February 8, 2017 None of the official reports issued by our...
Berkeley Cancels Coulter Speech . . . Coulter Vows To Defy University
by Jonathan Turley | Apr 20, 2017 | Featured Articles
We have been discussing the erosion of free speech on our campuses across the country through speech codes and increasingly violent protests. Conservative speakers are now routined denied the opportunity to speak on campuses by university officials who cite security concerns or by mob action preventing events from occurring. The latest example is Ann Coulter whose speech was cancelled at the last minute by the university even though she agreed to additional conditions set by officials. Coulter...
President Trump’s Disappearance
by Paul Craig Roberts | Apr 20, 2017 | Featured Articles
In my long experience in Washington, vice presidents did not make major foreign policy announcements or threaten other countries with war. Not even Dick Cheney stole this role from the weak president George W. Bush.But yesterday the world witnessed VP Pence threaten North Korea with war. “The sword stands ready,” said Pence as if he is the commander in chief.Perhaps he is.Where is Trump? As far as I can tell from the numerous emails I receive from him, he is at work marketing his presidency....
How the US Government Spins the Story
by Philip Giraldi | Apr 18, 2017 | Featured Articles
Sounds like we’ve heard it all before, because we have, back in August 2013, and that turned out to be less than convincing. Skepticism is likewise mounting over current White House claims that Damascus used a chemical weapon against civilians in the village of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province on April 4th. Shortly after the more recent incident, President Donald Trump, possibly deriving his information from television news reports, abruptly stated that the government of President Bashar...
Why The Donald Should Cool It On North Korea
by David Stockman | Apr 18, 2017 | Featured Articles
The realized truth of modern history is crystal clear. Washington had no business intervening in a quarrel between two no-count wanna be dictators (Syngman Rhee and Kim il Sung) on the Korean peninsula in June 1950, and surely has no business still stationing 29,000 American soldiers there 67 years latter. Yet owing to the institutionalized albatross of that mis-vectored history, the world is now much closer to the brink of nuclear war than at any time since the dark days of the early cold...
Run for Your Life: The American Police State Is Coming to Get You
by John W. Whitehead | Apr 17, 2017 | Featured Articles
“We’ve reached the point where state actors can penetrate rectums and vaginas, where judges can order forced catheterizations, and where police and medical personnel can perform scans, enemas and colonoscopies without the suspect’s consent.... These tactics are ... about degrading and humiliating a class of people that politicians and law enforcement have deemed the enemy.”—Radley Balko, The Washington Post Daily, all across America, individuals who dare to resist—or even question—a police...

The Federal Reserve Is, and Always Has Been, Politicized
by Ron Paul | Apr 17, 2017 | Featured Articles
Audit the Fed recently took a step closer to becoming law, when it was favorably reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. This means the House could vote on the bill at any time. The bill passed by voice vote without any objections, although Fed defenders did launch hysterical attacks on the bill during the debate as well as at a hearing on the bill the previous week.One representative claimed that auditing the Fed would result in rising interest rates, a stock...
Did Al Qaeda Fool the White House Again?
by Robert Parry | Apr 15, 2017 | Featured Articles
In Official Washington, words rarely mean what they say. For instance, if a US government official voices “high confidence” in a supposed “intelligence assessment,” that usually means “we don’t have any real evidence, but we figure that if we say ‘high confidence’ enough that no one will dare challenge us.”It’s also true that after a US President or another senior official jumps to a conclusion that is not supported by evidence, the ranks of government careerists will close around him or her,...
