When Our Word is No Longer Good
The pattern of media reports – based on White House leaks – that an agreement with Iran is almost completed has become predictable. Where once the markets fluctuated wildly (and some insiders made huge profits with the information), each time we hear that the deal is...
House Leadership Delays Vote on Ending the Iran War
The Iran War has been unpopular among Americans since the beginning. Now it has reached the point where it appears it would be voted down in the Republican-majority United States House of Representatives — if House leadership would just allow a floor vote on the...
Lindsey Graham’s ‘Circle of Death’
The senator from South Carolina has taken an idea from the Zionist playbook. It’s called the “Circle of Death.” In Gaza, the Zionists use yellow lines. The lines are invisible and when hapless Palestinians—men, women, children—straggle across it, the IDF murders them....
More Wars and Rumors of Wars
President Donald Trump is back from his business trip to China which had a lot of ambiguity over issues like Taiwan without having done either much discernible damage or benefit to American interests. The trip ended with the American participants dropping all the...
US Has Lost In Iran. Now Comes The Pain.
More Complications Arise In the Trump Universe
The top story last week, at least in terms of shock value, might well be the ongoing saga of the Trump White House ballroom, which started out as a $200 million development off of the building’s East Wing accommodating 300 guests and completely paid for by private...
Trump Going Back To Failed ‘Project Freedom’?
A $1.5 Trillion Military Budget is a Gift to the Grifters
Last week “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth insulted Americans by claiming that a 50 percent increase in the US military budget – from an incomprehensible one trillion dollars to an impossible one and a half trillion – was a “fiscally responsible investment.” “Thanks to...
The Gulf Separating the US and Iran is Too Wide to Bridge
As I pointed out in my last article, someone in the Trump administration who has been briefed on Trump’s upcoming statements about the war in Iran made a financial killing yesterday. This is part of a continuing pattern of deliberate deception by Trump, i.e.,...
The Staggering Cost Of The Iran War
Danger of a World Catastrophe
The very first story on the Drudge Report on both April 23 and 24 was headlined with a quote from Bernard Arnault saying if the Iran war was not quickly settled, it could be a “world catastrophe.” I apparently do not keep up with world business as much as I should,...
Hegseth Claims We’re In A Different War With Iran
House Majority Leader Insists the Price of Gas is Low
In his February 24 State of the Union Speech, United States President Donald Trump claimed gas prices in America were much lower than they actually were. This was part of Trump’s effort to claim credit for an asserted vastly improved economy. Several days later, the...
Is ‘Project Freedom’ Just Another Trump Scam?
The Bogus Blockade Claim of the US Department of War
Pete Hegseth is lying about the US blockade of Iranian ports. On April 12, after JD Vance announced that talks with Iran had failed, Trump declared a naval blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas. CENTCOM clarified that the blockade would be enforced against...
Hope for America
Last weekend my Institute for Peace and Prosperity hosted another conference here on the Texas Gulf Coast. Not only did we have a full house attending the conference – which is in a way the most important thing – but in this era of profound disappointment and...
Trump Reposts the Homicidal Fantasy of a Bush Neocon
On Thursday, the mentally compromised president of the United States reposted Marc Thiessen’s suggestion for ending the war with Iran. “If there are two factions in Iran, one that wants a deal and one that doesn’t, let’s kill the ones who don’t want a...
Donald Trump Goes to War
Sometimes a seemingly insignificant story tells one more about what is going on than the attempts being made to perceive the larger reality. When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon with his army the big developing story was the Roman Republic’s impending Civil War...
Easier to Die, Harder to Vote: The Rigged Architecture of the Warfare State
Reports of food shortages on naval ships deployed to the Middle East. Video footage of disabled military veterans—some in wheelchairs, others leaning on canes—being zip-tied and dragged out of the Capitol Rotunda for staging a peaceful, anti-war...
