US Targets Journalists Who Criticize Administration’s Foreign Policy

US Targets Journalists Who Criticize Administration’s Foreign Policy

by | Jun 4, 2024 |

Scott Ritter was pulled off a NY-to-Istanbul flight yesterday by US officials and his passport confiscated in a startling new development in the government’s open drive to censor and silence critics of the Administration’s foreign policies at a time when the United States is supplying billions of dollars in arms to foment wider war in Russia, accelerate the attacks on Gazans and set the stage for war with China over Taiwan. A Marine veteran and true American patriot, Mr. Ritter is also a noted...

The Reckless Brinkmanship With Russia Just Keeps On Escalating

The Reckless Brinkmanship With Russia Just Keeps On Escalating

by | Jun 4, 2024 |

It’s damn near impossible to keep up with all the warmongering of the western empire these days. In response to the frightening steps that NATO has been taking to allow western-supplied weapons to be used by Ukraine to strike Russian territory, Vladimir Putin warned last week that these escalations can lead to “serious consequences”.  “This constant escalation can lead to serious consequences,” Putin said. “If these serious consequences occur in...

The Coming Novus Ordo Seclorum – Change We Must; There is No Choice!

On a visit to Oxford a few weeks ago, Josep Borrell, the EU’s High Representative, (Walter Münchau writes), made an interesting remark: “Diplomacy is the art of managing double standards.” Münchau illustrated its inherent hypocrisy by contrasting the enthusiasm with which EU leaders supported the ICC’s decision to seek an arrest warrant against Putin last year, and “yet not to accept it – when it hits a member of your team” (i.e. Netanyahu). The most egregious example of such double...

This week, the members of the United States House of Representatives are scheduled to vote on H.Res. 1215, a resolution “Calling on elected officials and civil society leaders to join in efforts to educate the public on the contributions of the Jewish-American community.” In the whereas clauses of the resolution there are mentions of Major League Baseball players Sandy Koufax and Hank Greenberg, presented as “Jewish-American athletes” who “excelled at sports while staying true to their...

The Trump Trial and our Injustice System

The Trump Trial and our Injustice System

by | Jun 3, 2024 |

I’ve long criticized our current US justice system – on all levels – as becoming much more about political justice than blind justice. The bizarre trial and conviction of former President Donald Trump last week on 34 felonies only reinforces my concerns. The New York District Attorney, Soros-backed Alvin Bragg, has been notorious for downgrading felony charges against others to misdemeanor charges. According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, Bragg had downgraded 60 percent of felony cases...

The US Empire Isn’t A Government That Runs Nonstop Wars, It’s A Nonstop War That Runs A Government

The US Empire Isn’t A Government That Runs Nonstop Wars, It’s A Nonstop War That Runs A Government

by | Jun 1, 2024 |

It clears up a lot of confusion when you understand that the US empire is not a national government which happens to run nonstop military operations, it’s a nonstop military operation that happens to run a national government. The wars are not designed to serve the interests of the United States, the United States is designed to serve the interests of the wars. The US as a country is just a source of funding, personnel, resources and diplomatic cover for a nonstop campaign to dominate the...

Robert Fico’s failed assassination raises specter of Western plotting

Robert Fico’s failed assassination raises specter of Western plotting

by | May 31, 2024 |

On May 15, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was almost murdered in broad daylight. While shaking hands with supporters during a public appearance, a gunman shot him twice in the abdomen and once in the shoulder. The attack left him fighting for his life while authorities raced for clues, and many observers at home and abroad puzzled about the would-be assassin’s motives and whether foreign actors were in some way responsible for the attack. And despite the shooter’s instantaneous...

American Caesar and Constitutional Indifference

American Caesar and Constitutional Indifference

by | May 31, 2024 |

A recent column in The Economist magazine asking if America is dictator-proof got me to thinking if our constitutional guarantees are secure. Stated differently: Can the custodians of our constitutional norms be trusted to restrain a deliberate attempt to ignore, diminish or evade the Constitution? The short answer is: NO. The history of what I will charitably call constitutional indifference is long and tortuous. It goes back to the earliest days of the republic when, in a period of eight...

Sanctions Are for Losers

Sanctions Are for Losers

by | May 29, 2024 |

On April 13, Iran launched an unprecedented retaliatory drone and missile attack on Israel, leading the U.S. and its allies to reach once again for their favorite weapon of war—sanctions. This knee-jerk reaction was as predictable as it was ill-founded, according to the scholarly research. In Nicholas Mulder’s 2022 treatise The Economic Weapon: The Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War, he traces the history of sanctions from the blockades in World War I to today’s morass of economic...

Mossad Chief Stalked, Threatened ICC Prosecutor Over War Crimes Probe: Report

by | May 29, 2024 |

A new bombshell investigation undertaken jointly by the Guardian and +972 mag has revealed that the head of Mossad conducted surveillance on the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) related to her opening a formal investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes. Then ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda had opened the formal inquiry in 2021 to examine years of allegations of human rights abuse and war crimes against Palestinians committed by Israel's...

Neocon Nikki Signs Israeli Bombs Urging Israel to Kill Palestinian Civilians

by | May 28, 2024 |

Just when you thought "Neocon Nikki" could not sink any lower, former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has posted on Twitter/X a deeply disturbing photo of former Republican presidential candidate - and reportedly in the running for Trump's VP pick - in Israel signing bombs destined for Palestinian refugees living in tents in Rafah with the slogan, "FINISH THEM!" Just one day after the Israeli military incinerated untold scores of Palestinian refugees in Rafah and after the...

The Brink of Dissolution: Neurosis in the West as the Levee Breaks

The Brink of Dissolution: Neurosis in the West as the Levee Breaks

by | May 28, 2024 |

The paradox is that Team Biden – wholly inadvertently – is midwifing the birth of a “new world.” It is doing so by dint of its crude opposition to parturition. The more the western élites push against the birthing – through “saving Zionism”; “saving European Ukraine” and by crushing dissent – perversely they accelerate the foundering of Leviathan. President Xi's double farewell hug for President Putin following their 16-17 May summit nonetheless sealed the birth – even the New York...

Biden’s Tariffs Are Another Nail in the Dollar’s Coffin

by | May 27, 2024 |

President Biden recently raised taxes on American consumers and businesses and may have hastened the end of the dollar’s world reserve currency status. President Biden did this by increasing tariffs on Chinese imports. Specifically, President Biden raised tariffs on products including Chinese-produced steel and aluminum and many components imported from China for use in manufacturing electric vehicle batteries. Tariffs on Chinese-made semiconductors are rising from 25 to 50 percent while...

Like So Much Else, The Fuss Over ‘International Law’ Is Really About Narrative Control

Like So Much Else, The Fuss Over ‘International Law’ Is Really About Narrative Control

by | May 27, 2024 |

The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to cease its assault on Rafah, an order which will certainly be disregarded by Israel with the full support of Washington. This comes days after the International Criminal Court announced its intention to seek warrants for the arrest of Israeli officials for war crimes in Gaza, which will also be dismissed by Israel and its hegemonic ally to the west. The other day ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said that when...

J.D. Vance Condemned Neocons—Then Called for the Same Middle East Policy

by | May 25, 2024 |

Sen. J.D. Vance (R–Ohio.) believes that American neoconservatives have caused 40 years of "disasters" in the Middle East. But he's doubling down on exactly the vision they've had all along: an alliance of Israel and Sunni Muslim–led states, backed by U.S. military power, to "police" the region. At a Thursday conference hosted by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft—where I worked as a researcher several years ago—and The American Conservative, the senator laid...

Update: According to media reporting, at least part of the Gaza pier has been washed away. -Ed. A cost of US government support of Israel's war in Gaza gained a grim new dimension Thursday, as three American service members suffered "non-combat injuries" in the humanitarian relief operation off the Gaza coast, with one in critical condition. The military branch of the injured had not yet been disclosed as this story was written.  While the circumstances are still unclear, the most...
