Will Trump Go After the War Party

Will Trump Go After the War Party

by | Nov 23, 2024 |

In 54 BC, Marcus Licinius Crassus, a rich, ambitious Roman businessman, got himself named governor of the wealthy province of Syria. Crassus had been sharing power in Rome with Pompey and Julius Caesar. Call him the Donald Trump of his day. Crassus decided to invade neighboring Parthia, which is today Turkey and Iran. At the battle of Carrhae, retreating Persian horse archers loosed arrows over the back of their horses, giving us the literary term for a parting shot, `Parthian shaft.’ The...

House of Representatives Approves Legislation Threatening Nonprofits’ Free Speech

House of Representatives Approves Legislation Threatening Nonprofits’ Free Speech

by | Nov 22, 2024 |

On Thursday, the United States House of Representatives approved legislation that would threaten nonprofit organizations’ exercise of free speech rights. The legislation would accomplish this goal by empowering the US government to selectively clamp down on nonprofits to an extent that targeted organizations may cease to exist. This is all being done in the name of countering terrorism, a trusty standby excuse for the US government exercising authoritarian powers. The House approved the Stop...

Why These New Russian Missiles Are Real Game Changers

Why These New Russian Missiles Are Real Game Changers

by | Nov 22, 2024 |

In response to a U.S. decision to arrange for ballistic missile attacks from Ukraine into Russia, the great magician and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin pulled a rabbit from his hat. Yesterday the six independent war heads of a new intermediate range ballistic missile hit the Yuzhmash missile plant in Dnipro Ukraine. Until now the new missile and its mission profile had been unknown. It is the clear counter to decade long efforts of the U.S. to gain supremacy, especially in...

Expelliarmus!: HBO Delivers Blow Against the Anti-Rowling, Anti-Free Speech Movement

by | Nov 22, 2024 |

This week, HBO delivered the corporate version of the Expelliarmus or disarming curse for the long-standing cancel campaign targeting “Harry Potter” creator J.K. Rowling. We have been discussing this campaign against Rowling, a feminist who has opposed transgender policies that she views as inimical to the rights of women. The cancel campaign against Rowling has been extreme and unhinged from blacklisting her books to even barring the playing of Harry Potter games in pubs....

A Week from Hell

A Week from Hell

by | Nov 22, 2024 |

Unfortunately, a machine has not yet been developed that can take one back in time and undo terrible mistakes being made due to lack of appreciation of possible downstream consequences of certain actions. If Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary had been somewhere else other than in Sarajevo back in June 1914 Serbian Gavrilo Princip might never have been able to assassinate him and the European system of military alliances might never have been triggered to start World War I. Going...

This Is How It Begins: The Deep State Wants to Terminate the Constitution

This Is How It Begins: The Deep State Wants to Terminate the Constitution

by | Nov 21, 2024 |

This is how it begins. This is how it always begins, justified in the name of national security. Mass roundups. Raids. Indefinite detentions in concentration camps. Martial law. The erosion of habeas corpus protections. The suspension of the Constitution, at least for select segments of the population. A hierarchy of rights, contingent on whether you belong to a favored political class. This is what you can expect in the not-so-distant future. Once you allow the government to...

The Effects of Israeli Barbarity

The Effects of Israeli Barbarity

by | Nov 21, 2024 |

I could not tell the easy, comforting lie. “No”, I told the woman, her traumatised children clinging to her legs, “I can’t say you are safe here; not one of us is safe. The Israelis are genocidal. But in Lebanon so far, I don’t think they have bombed a school”. I was with one of 67 families, with 215 children, living as refugees in a small school at Ain Rumaila in Southern Beirut. The area borders the evacuated suburb of Dahiya which the Israelis are systematically demolishing, and bombings...

Biden’s Lust for War

Biden’s Lust for War

by | Nov 21, 2024 |

The war in Ukraine is an American war for which the United States government should be ashamed and blamed. It was initiated by President Joe Biden and then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, both of whom advised Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that if he rejected a peace treaty that his own government had freely negotiated and agreed to in 2022 with Russian negotiators, Ukraine could join NATO. The treaty was more than 100 pages in length, each page of which had been initialed by both...

Biden’s Missile Crisis

Biden’s Missile Crisis

by | Nov 20, 2024 |

When President Biden approved the use of supersonic Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike Russia, he placed in jeopardy the national security of the United States, the safety of our troops abroad and violated the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, which provides that only Congress can declare war. Biden has made a decision to insert the U.S. into an unambiguous, escalatory phase, using the territory of Ukraine to attack Russia directly with missiles which can reach 190 miles...

Roadmap to an America First Foreign Policy

Roadmap to an America First Foreign Policy

by | Nov 20, 2024 |

The election of Donald Trump to a second term in the White House, and Republican control of all three branches of government, offers a unique opportunity for the US to completely re-evaluate its globalist foreign policy agenda. Trump’s administration could politically extract the elitist ‘Blob’ and shatter the military industrial complex in the process. This is the peaceful method of change that should be expected of a truly democratic state – regardless of how many political toes find...

The fear in many nations’ capitals is that President Donald Trump’s return to Washington might make Israel feel more confident in attacking Iran. According to Mike Evans, founder of the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem, “There is no world leader Trump respects more than Netanyahu.”  The evangelical leader also confides that President Trump would support an Israeli attack before his inauguration on the assumption that the destruction of Iran’s oil production facilities would...

US Congressional Leadership Remains United in Devotion to Israel after Selection of New Senate Republican Leader

US Congressional Leadership Remains United in Devotion to Israel after Selection of New Senate Republican Leader

by | Nov 18, 2024 |

Some things changed in politics in Washington, DC when on Wednesday Republican United States senators via a secret ballot vote selected Sen John Thune (R-SD) to become Senate Republican leader, replacing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in the position. One of the things that remained the same, though, was that the Senate Republican leader position, along with the other three top leadership positions — Republican and Democrat — in the Senate and House of Representatives, remains held by a...

If Trump Didn’t Send Musk to Talk with the Iranians…He Should!

One of the most encouraging and promising things President-elect Trump said in his post-election acceptance speech was, “I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars…” We all understand that campaign promises often have a short shelf life after the election is over, but the Trump campaign’s repeated talk of peace over war at least demonstrates that he finds it a winning point to make to American voters. Will that talk of peace turn into action in the second Trump presidency, especially...

In a move straight out of Louis "After me, the flood" XV, the outgoing BIden admin, in a seemingly desperate move to destabilize the global geopolitical picture, has authorized the lifting of some restrictions on Ukraine’s use of western-made weapons to strike military targets inside Russia, according to reports from Bloomberg and the AP. The decision was reportedly shaped by North Korea ramping up support for President Vladimir Putin’s army and an increase in Russian...

Although all eyes during the recent election were primarily on the contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, and secondarily on the contests between the blue team and the red team for control of the U.S. House and Senate, ballots in many states also contained candidates for state and local offices and referendums. More than 140 ballot measures appeared on 41 state ballots. Out of these, six ballot measures were related to drug use: three on recreational marijuana, two on medical...
