War and Constitutional Indifference
Since its inception, the government of the United States has inexorably exceeded its powers under the Constitution. All three branches have been complicit in a consistent pattern of constitutional indifference. Congress has regulated in areas of governance nowhere...
Trump’s Attempt to End the Iran War Infuriates the Uniparty
Against the odds, the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the US and Iran appears to be holding, after threats and counter-threats. It may collapse, but it has survived a first round of talks between the two sides in Switzerland over the weekend. President Trump...
Tail Wags Dog
It should be cold comfort indeed, but the successive inability of one US administration after another to control Israel and the extraordinary passion with which the leaders of Western Europe, Canada and NATO continue to defy the United States to risk thermonuclear...
Israel Crosses Iran’s Redline in a Mission to Prevent Trump From Signing a Peace Deal with Iran
Nine days after Iran warned the West, Israel in particular, that any further attacks on Beirut would result in Iran retaliating against Israel, Israel hit the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh. The attack on Sunday afternoon sent plumes of smoke rising over the suburb, with...
Iran Needs Escalation To Avoid The Ceasefire Trap
A typical US tactic against a strategic target is to ‘boil the frog’ by slowly increasing the temperature of the water it is sitting it. The conflict in Ukraine is an good example for this. Hits against Russia, directed by the CIA, are escalated bit by bit while...
House Votes To End Iran War – Will Trump Ignore Congress?
Escalation? US/Iran Exchange Fire As Yet Another ‘Breakthrough’ Announced
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,...
