Adversarial Process or Oppo Research? Judge Agrees To Release More Trump Material Before the Election

Adversarial Process or Oppo Research? Judge Agrees To Release More Trump Material Before the Election

by | Oct 11, 2024 |

It appears that U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan and Special Counsel Jack Smith are not done yet in releasing material in advance of the election. In a previous column, I criticized the release of Smith’s  180-page brief before the election as procedurally irregular and politically biased, a criticism shared by  CNN’s senior legal analyst and other law professors. Nevertheless, on Thursday, Judge Chutkan agreed to a request from...

The US House of Representatives, where Only the Ending of the Afghanistan War is Condemned

The US House of Representatives, where Only the Ending of the Afghanistan War is Condemned

by | Oct 11, 2024 |

A majority of United States House of Representatives members voted on September 25 to approve a resolution (H.Res. 1469) condemning 15 members of the executive branch “for their role in the Biden-Harris administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan and noncombatant evacuation operation, which led to the injury and death of United States servicemembers, injury and death of Afghan civilians, abandonment of American civilians and our Afghan allies, and harm to the national security and...

The Fall of Israel

The Fall of Israel

by | Oct 10, 2024 |

I have previously written about Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, calling it “the most successful military raid of this century.” I have described the Hamas action as a military operation, while Israel and its allies have called it a terrorist action on the scale of what transpired against the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. “The difference between the two terms,” I noted, is night and day — by labeling the events of October 7 as acts of terrorism, Israel transfers blame...

The Government Compels Silence Again

The Government Compels Silence Again

by | Oct 10, 2024 |

When Congress enacted the Stored Communications Act of 1986 (SCA), it claimed the statute would guarantee the privacy of digital data that service providers were retaining in storage. The act prohibited the providers from sharing the stored data, and it prohibited unauthorized access to the data, commonly called computer hacking -- except, of course, if the recipients or the hackers were working for the federal government. Just as it did with the Patriot Act of 2001 -- which permits one...

Did the US Government Orchestrate a Color Revolution in Bangladesh?

Did the US Government Orchestrate a Color Revolution in Bangladesh?

by | Oct 9, 2024 |

A violent coup in Bangladesh went unnoticed as much of the world remained focused on the war in Ukraine & escalations in West Asia. The western media romanticised the coup as a successful student revolution. In reality, it had all the markings of yet another regime change operation by the USA. This article discusses the reason that sparked the protests in Bangladesh, how the protestors shifted goal posts and escalated the violence leading to the coup, and the reality vs the western media...

Government Can Fix neither Food nor Farm

Government Can Fix neither Food nor Farm

by | Oct 9, 2024 |

With the national health crisis, food debauchery, and farm exploitation suddenly jumping to headlines via RFK, Jr., numerous people have offered solutions but nothing I’ve seen truly gets to the heart of the problem. Recently RFK, Jr. gave his recipe but in general, it’s yet another request for government intervention in these fields (pun intended). Capping drug prices, prohibiting research grants from going to people with conflicts of interest, and reforming crop subsidies to incentivize...

Disinformation Isn’t the Problem. Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

Disinformation Isn’t the Problem. Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

by | Oct 9, 2024 |

In a perfect example of the Nanny State mindset at work, Hillary Clinton insists that the powers-that-be need “total control” in order to make the internet a safer place for users and protect us harm. Clinton is not alone in her distaste for unregulated, free speech online. A bipartisan chorus that includes both presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump has long clamored to weaken or do away with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which essentially...

Perfidy in Tehran

Perfidy in Tehran

by | Oct 8, 2024 |

John Kerry, just last week at the World Economic Forum, so clearly blurting out the truth: “Our First Amendment stands as a major block to our ability to be able to hammer [disinformation] out of existence.” Translated: Governing is all about narrative control. Kerry articulates the “International Order’s” solution to the unwelcome phenomenon of an uncontrolled populism and of a potential leader who speaks for the people: Simply, “freedom to speak” is unacceptable to the prescriptions agreed...

Let Me Be Clear

Let Me Be Clear

by | Oct 8, 2024 |

We can learn a lot from the knuckleheads, airheads and sociopaths of death and slavery in Washington, and among US allies. We are told by the federal state that Governor “knucklehead” Walz, Vice President Kamala “airhead” Harris, and “mass murderer” Netanyahu are patriots, friends and supporters of Americans.  What we can learn from these “patriots?” From Timmy Walz, we learn that urban riots, and destruction of communities and businesses can be excellent, as long as you can watch...

Our Official Enemies

Our Official Enemies

by | Oct 8, 2024 |

Whenever I see the vehement anti-Russia sentiment that pervades American society, I can’t help but think about Muhammad Ali. After Ali announced that he would not comply with the U.S. government’s draft notice, which almost certainly would have meant that he would have been sent to Vietnam to kill Vietcong, Ali stated, “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Vietcong.” Oh boy, his refusal to comply with the draft was bad enough, but to announce that he had no quarrel with a group that the U.S....

Old Lies Behind Israel’s War Live On in Senate Resolution

Old Lies Behind Israel’s War Live On in Senate Resolution

by | Oct 7, 2024 |

We are now a year into the Israel government’s military action devastating the people and infrastructure of Gaza and since expanded into escalating violence against countries including Lebanon and Iran. Yet, even today, United States Senate members are repeating flagrant lies produced in the war’s early days to trick Americans and others around the world into supporting Israel’s war. On Monday, Republican US Senators introduced a resolution repeating some of these old lies that helped build...

American Neocons Get Their Iran War as Congress Sleeps

American Neocons Get Their Iran War as Congress Sleeps

by | Oct 7, 2024 |

Over the weekend, the Commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), General Michael Kurilla, arrived in Israel to “coordinate” with the Israeli military and plan a military strike against Iran. Think about that for a moment: one of the highest-ranking officers in the US military is planning a war in a foreign country against another foreign country which will be fueled by American weapons, American intelligence, and American tax dollars. Did that foreign country – Iran – attack the United...

‘We Lose Total Control’: Clinton Continues Her Censorship Campaign on CNN

‘We Lose Total Control’: Clinton Continues Her Censorship Campaign on CNN

by | Oct 7, 2024 |

Hillary Clinton is continuing her global efforts to get countries, including the United States, to crackdown on opposing views. Clinton went on CNN to lament the continued resistance to censorship and to call upon Congress to limit free speech. In pushing her latest book, “Something Lost and Something Gained,” Clinton amplified on her warnings about the dangers of free speech. What is clear is that the gain of greater power for leaders like Clinton would be the loss of free speech for ordinary...

Blinken Approved Policy to Bomb Aid Trucks, Israeli Cabinet Members Suggest

Blinken Approved Policy to Bomb Aid Trucks, Israeli Cabinet Members Suggest

by | Oct 7, 2024 |

From the very beginning of Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had his hands on the steering wheel. After October 7, Blinken was the first senior U.S. official to arrive in Israel, on October 11. "I'm going with a very simple and clear message... that the United States has Israel's back," Blinken reportedly said before boarding the plane.  He returned again days later. This time, Blinken was there to demand that Israel rethink its decision...

Julian Assange Describes a Dangerous Tendency in Government

Julian Assange Describes a Dangerous Tendency in Government

by | Oct 5, 2024 |

On Thursday, I wrote about the testimony of Julian Assange of WikiLeaks at a Tuesday meeting of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). Assange’s testimony provided an informative overview of his persecution for helping expose disturbing government secrets. In his testimony, Assange stepped back at times from the particulars of his story to address broader issues related to government that are important for proponents of...

Biden Is Pushing Israel Towards Larger War

Biden Is Pushing Israel Towards Larger War

by | Oct 4, 2024 |

After being hit by some 200 Iranian missiles Israel has not yet dared to response to to the strike. It instead has launched new air attacks into the center of Beirut and its southern area known as Dahiyeh (which simply means suburb) with its predominantly Shia population. Israel seems to have forgotten what attacks on Dahiyeh mean: Hizbullah asserts that it has established a new deterrence equation: an Israeli attack on the al-Dahieh neighborhood in Beirut will be met with a...
