US Sanctions Bring Russian Air Travelers Closer to Death

US Sanctions Bring Russian Air Travelers Closer to Death

by | Feb 7, 2024 |

US officials were undoubtedly disappointed over the recent emergency landing of a Russian civilian airliner on a farm in southern Russia. Experiencing a hydraulics problem that was causing the plane to rapidly lose fuel, the pilots were not able to make it to the nearest airport. So, why did this emergency landing undoubtedly disappoint US officials? Because the plane didn’t crash and kill the 165 Russian people aboard. That’s the whole point of sanctions — to impoverish or kill foreign...

Why Burn Books When You Can Bury Them? The White House Pressured Amazon to Target Dissenting Books

Why Burn Books When You Can Bury Them? The White House Pressured Amazon to Target Dissenting Books

by | Feb 7, 2024 |

The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on Monday revealed yet another facet of the Biden Administration’s sprawling censorship system that targeted dissenting books. It appears that, as with social media companies, it succeeded in getting the company not to promote disfavored books. Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan revealed on X that the White House was directly involved in the censorship campaign. That includes a 2021 email...

The Three Strands to the ‘Swarming of Biden’

The Three Strands to the ‘Swarming of Biden’

by | Feb 6, 2024 |

“The Iranians have a strategy, and we don’t,” a former senior U.S. Defence Department official told Al-Monitor: “We’re getting bogged down in tactical weeds – of whom to target and how – and nobody’s thinking strategically.” The former Indian diplomat MK Bhadrakumar has coined the term “swarming” to describe this process of non-state actors miring the U.S. in the tactical attrition – from the Levant to the Persian Gulf. “Swarming” has been associated more recently with a...

In The Middle East The US Has Reached The End Of Its Abilities

In The Middle East The US Has Reached The End Of Its Abilities

by | Feb 6, 2024 |

The Biden administration is trying everything to better the situation for the Israeli government except by withdrawing its financial and munition support which are the only two measures that could bring Israel to its senses. There are now several small wars in the Middle East which may soon accumulate into a big one. Israel is fighting Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Gaza. It is fighting a silent resistance in the West Bank. On its norther borders it is involved in daily clashes with Hizbullah...

Nuland leaves sense of foreboding in Kiev

Nuland leaves sense of foreboding in Kiev

by | Feb 5, 2024 |

The commencement of political upheavals in world affairs sometimes lies with a seemingly obscure event. This is not to say that the shooting down of a Russian Ilyushin-76 military transport plane carrying dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war over the territory of Belgorod Region by two missiles fired from the area of Liptsy, in Kharkov Region (Ukraine) on January 24 is anything like the spark that set off World War I when a Serbian patriot shot and killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the city...

Dr. Fauci Helped Homeschooling Grow

Dr. Fauci Helped Homeschooling Grow

by | Feb 5, 2024 |

A rare instance of an unexpected consequence of a bad policy advancing liberty is the growth in private schools enrollment and homeschooling that occurred as a result of the covid lockdowns. An October 2023 study by Eloise Burtis and Sofoklis Goulas of the Brookings Institution found that 79 percent of American school-age children were enrolled in government schools in the 2021-2022 school year, down from 84 percent enrolled in government schools in 2019-2020. The decline in children attending...

U.S. launches retaliatory strikes after deadly attack on Jordan base - Washington Post - Feb 3, 2024The operation, targeting numerous sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian forces and its affiliates, followed the killing of American troops last weekend U.S. forces launched a broad attack against Iran’s powerful military wing and affiliated militias in Iraq and...

Biden Says The US ‘Does Not Seek Conflict In The Middle East’ While Actively Dropping Bombs There

Biden Says The US ‘Does Not Seek Conflict In The Middle East’ While Actively Dropping Bombs There

by | Feb 3, 2024 |

The Biden administration has begun its latest bombing campaign in the middle east, reportedly dropping over 125 munitions on more than 85 Iranian and Shia militia targets in Iraq and Syria on Friday.  The mainstream press have been falling all over themselves to describe the strikes as “retaliatory” in nature, framing it as a provoked response to a drone attack which killed three US troops at a base on the border of Jordan and Syria. Which is a bit odd, given that this...

The Tragic Self-Destruction of an Enraged Israel

The Tragic Self-Destruction of an Enraged Israel

by | Feb 2, 2024 |

Israel is boxed-in, as is becoming very evident to many Israelis. One Israeli correspondent (formerly a Cabinet Secretary) illustrates its nature: “The meaning of the 7th October default is not only the loss of lives … but mainly the potential transformation of how Israel is perceived … as no longer to be feared by Middle Eastern actors.”“The Israeli leadership must internalize that we can no longer be content with a “sense of victory” among the Israeli public … It is doubtful...

The Feds Are Buying Our Emails!

“The Framers ... conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone -- the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized men.” -- Justice Louis Brandeis (1856-1941) While we are all consumed with Joe Biden’s bumblings and Donald Trump’s trials, the federal government’s rapacious appetite for spying on the private behavior of Americans as to whom it has no suspicion of wrongdoing continues unabated. Last week, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., revealed that the...

Terrible Tragedies Continue In Unjust War

Terrible Tragedies Continue In Unjust War

by | Jan 31, 2024 |

The CBS national newscast on Jan. 20 showed the terrible anguish of a father holding a photograph of a little girl who had been killed a few days short of her first birthday by an Israeli bomb in Gaza. This father and another little daughter had just been pulled out of the rubble, fortunate to still be alive. Unfortunately, the dead little girl’s mother, brother, another sister and three of her uncles had all been killed in Israel’s massive bombing campaign. According to the Euro-Med Human...

Nuland ‘Sets The Record Straight’ On US Forever Occupation Of Syria

Nuland ‘Sets The Record Straight’ On US Forever Occupation Of Syria

by | Jan 31, 2024 |

For several days there has been a flurry of reports in both independent and mainstream media outlets suggesting the US could finally withdraw American troops from Iraq and Syria. These reports spread widely especially before the Sunday drone attack on a US base on the Syrian-Jordanian border, which killed three American soldiers and injured over 40 more, according to revised casualty figures. For example, Foreign Policy reported last Wednesday that the White House is actively reviewing...

China ignores US entreaties of mediation

There is an old proverb that when misfortunes come, they come in battalions. Coming on top of reports of American soldiers going down like nine-pins on a drone strike against the super secret CIA station for intelligence and covert operations on the Syrian-Jordanian border, ’nyet’ is the word from Beijing to the Biden administration’s entreaties seeking  intervention with Tehran to rein in the Houthis of Yemen, against the foreboding backdrop of the Axis of Resistance expanding...

Heading For the ‘Texit’?

by | Jan 29, 2024 |

The clash between the Biden Administration and Texas spilled out into the open last week, when the US Supreme Court ruled that Federal authorities could remove razor wire that Texas Governor Greg Abbott had been installing along the border with Mexico to stop the millions of illegal immigrants from crossing over to the United States. This time Abbott did not back down. Instead, he issued a statement declaring that “an invasion under Article I, Section 10, Clause 3” of the US Constitution is...

‘Black Hawk Down’ For Biden in the Red Sea

by | Jan 26, 2024 |

The breaking news that Ansar Allah (Houthi) fighters have fired on the USS Carney in the Red Sea today (Friday, 26 Jan.) underscores the shocking failure of the Biden Administration, which initiated airstrikes on the Houthis this month with no plan for “victory” beyond hoping that the mere presence of US warships would intimidate them into surrendering. Even a junior Pentagon or State Department analyst could have advised the Administration that, based on everything we understand about the...
